In the year 18, it don’t make any I difference which, I moved in Cherokee j [Georgia, and settled in one of (the small; 'towns of that thriving section for the’ ; purpose of pursuing my profession, '! the practice of Law. During my second • | year’s sojourn, the office of ordinary be i catne vacant and several of my friends ’ i proposed that I should become a can- I ' didate for it. After some hesitation, I consented, and was soon busily canvas-; ,! sing the county. My oponent was a man well known i I to the community, and possessed not . only the advantage of being an old resident, but of having filled the office of ordinary before. This, however, in , stead of damping my ardor, hut stim j ulated me to new exertions ; the time, I however, was drawing near for the elec tion, and I was becoming somewhat doubtful of success, when I found my s self one evening at a little doggery about ten miles from the village drink . ing pop-skull whisky, and trying to per suade some dozen rough backwoods men that I was better fitted for ordina ry than any other man in the county. An occasional hurrah for ‘‘Snellings,j or go it old trout—l believe in you and rot-gut whisky,” inspired me to new efforts. While thus engaged, a tall, lank, tal-j low-faced youth, with britches out at the knees, hat without a rim, and minus coat or shoes, dashed up on a small shaggy looking pony. Bringing his dimunitive steed to a hault, he threw himself off, and gethering up a pair of jugs that had been suspended across the aforesaid pony, by a leather string, he walked in and sat them on the board that served for a counter, requesting the store keeper to “fill! them mighty quick, for thar was gwine to be a bully frolic at our house! to-night, and Dad sed es 1 didn’t come; back with the liclcer mighty soon I’d ketch blazes when I did come.” At the sound of a -frolic, every man . was on the alert; crowding around the lad, they plied him questions. “ Who was to be thar —if Uncle Sol Grimes gals was a coming--es the old man had axed any of the B’irst Mountain folks, ” and last, tiro’ not the least important, “ es Col. Sam Jones’ big nigger Jim was to play the fiddle.” Satisfactory answers were given to all, and every question, and by the time Thompson had filled the jugs, all I hands had made up t'ueir minds to go ; we were soon under way, the boy with the jugs taking the lead, with many an admonitory hint, not to “ spill the licker, fur the boys would be mighty dry to-night.” ! After riding about two miles along a j rough, uneven path, we came in sight jof the place. By this time night was (setting in, but on approaching nearer, Iwe observed several in front of the | double log cabin, that formed the main j building ; some were sitting on the (fence whittling, while others were! [walking about cutting an occasional pigon wing or double shuffle,as the sound jof a violin broke upon the air from the i house. | As soon as we were perceived, they raised a yell and crowded up, making Istrait for the jugs ; after taking a drink fall ’round, we were invited in. The! | gals were all seated around the room,! dressed out in their best homespun) frocks, with an occasional calico, by way of change ; some twenty rosey, ! buxom lasses in a room about fifteen ) feet square—it would bean impossibility jto get so many into a room of that size i now a-days—hut the age of expansion j “skirts” had not then arrived. I In one corner was seated the fiddler, ; sawing away at the top of his bent; a ! dance was soon proposed, each man 'singling out his girl, load her out, and away they went. Not being acquainted with any of the girls, and a bashful man withal, I determined to remain a spectator for a while; but I did not en joy my exclusiveness long—the master of the house perceiving me, came up, and slapping me on the back, said : “ Wily, Snellings, old fell, why aiut you going it like the rest of the fellers ?” I told him I was not acquainted with any of the ladies. “Shaw, isthatall,” said he, “come along and I’ll fix you | off.” Taking me by the arm,he led me jto where the girls were seated. Stop | ping in front of a tall, good looking j girl, he said : j “BigSiss, this isSnelliDgs—Snellings, this is Big Siss ; now,” said he, “as you ; folks is acquainted, I wau't to see you {come down to your work. Big Siss take j | him out and show him how to do things 1 iup brown.” (Not Joe.) [to he continued.] * THE OCEAN STEAMERS. Sailing Days to and from the United States, i FROM EUROPE.
