From the, Georgian,
B\RNEY BLINN.
Oh it was a merry (la y I w* en,
As ever was in the county seen,
The girls and boys were dress‘d so fine
And the soldiers all arranged in ftne.
The long desired Fourth of July, at
arrived. It was one of those balmy
mornings peculiar to a shadowy, summer
day subsequent an evening shower in
Georgia.
The distant ting-tong dingle-dong of the
cowbell/ the pensive bleat of the parted
calf, and the young k and; were among the
few sounds, flnatiug on the Aofi air, that
lull and the extensive Pine Woods into list
lesscjuiet:even Drummer,and Spy,* Filer,
and Scout/ Barney’s watchful, staunch
and favorite hounds, lay dozing beneath
the old mulberry tree, in front of his snug
log-house; and under its cool shade, Polly
stood, hitched to the branching horns ol
an old forester/ the tr ophy of a long, and
fatiguing hunt.

Ned Outlaw, the first lot ir on r;t of t ap

piVced the I) laration, ty prayer, and i
sqo D.-dd oil red to read that memora-1
hie instrument. An elevated hill near the’
(’ Minty I’ouit House had been chosen for
tin’ spot where Captain Blion was to‘hold ,
forth* on account of a thick grove of s * all
pmes, and a rnck-spi mg of th purest wa
ter, which hursted from the glebe lull
side, and dribbled into a stream below;
that w oikod several grist mills m hearing.
On the top ot the lull, a rustic stage was
constructed/ and in front trunk* ot tt*-ea
were placed i.i p*r 11**1 lines, flanking the
stage ou either -i> ; anil near the spring,
a green pine booth imbowered the long
dinner table.
A numerous assemblage ot men, womun
and children,demonstrative of th” Patriot
ism of citizens, sensible ot the blessings,
amlpnvile.es s cored to them on this
(ftv seemed seriously disposed to perpe*
tfiate its celebration to the last period of
their existence.
It being understood that Captain Blinn !
uri the way and would soon tie there,
Lieutenant Outlaw by a sudden j rk, ’
flourished a dragoon sword out of its rutv
scabbard, and striding into the middle of
tin* road; called out in a surprising auda
tde. voice.* Oh ye#! oh yes! all you who
belongs to K pin Blinn** Kumpne. tarn
out an fain in line lOng this tench yer, to

stir and bustle in down right earnest for
them: Jimmey Rattle m a bop, step and
a jump, planted himself on the extreme
tight, as the po. of appui. ‘Form the)
line mighty quick yer l tell you,* bawled
Ned Outlaw‘for yonder cums the orrit
tur.’ In an instant all rushed forward and
accomplished something resembling a
cresent. —‘Step back thar oo the rite,
leastwise on the left I should say/ for a
boddy‘s monstrous ap to be put to a non
splosh, bout this yer rite an left bizness/
becaz my rite is your left, an your rite is
my left.’ This prodigious discovery evi
dently raised Lieutenant Outlaw so much
in the estimation ot the company, and in
'creased his >wn confidence, that he vo
ciferated in a most commanding tone,
‘prepar min to do a rite peart motion—
attinshun!—tenshun I say all round thar/
and his -mail black eyes twinkled with
animation.
•Well now I reckon vou had as good rot
be in sitich a plagy hurry/ for 1 ve tangled

muttered Sergeant Sprigjn-$ and as he
extricated the unlucy spur, sa*d ‘drot me

‘Silence in tlie ranks—teushoti I say once
