Piflsbnrg, Pa “Call a Man," Any one who is dittposod to try a laugh,' will do wt'll to road on. John Jackson was a very indu«- trionfl, liard-w'irking man, of twenty thrdet years Being the eldest child, and the only «on, he» hatl always re mained at home, assisting his lather upon * the fann. John was much re spected by every one in the neighbor hood, and many a bright-eved girl had secretly thought nho would like to change her -name to ' rs. Jolin Jtulcson. liubJohu y. os no “ladies’ tnan.’’ The font was, John was very bashful, lie would rather hoe po tatoes all day than undergo the cere mony of an introduction to a young lady. Not that John disliked the dear creatures-—far from it. Wo be lieve that he, in common with all bashful, well-meaning men, entertain ed the very highest respect and ad miration for them. And this, no doubt, was tfte prrrietpal cause of his bashfulness. He felt that they were superior beings, and that he was un worthy to associate with them upon terms of equality. But wo cannot stop to moralize. Nancy Clark was the dnlighter of a respectable fanner, whose lauds ad joined the Jackson farm. Naney wus a pretty, saucy little wench, and she liked John Jackson. When they were children they attended the same school, and as he was a few years her senior was usually her champion in the cl ildish disputes that arose, and hor companion in going and return ing. At last John became so much of a young man as to be kept from school, as she had been in past years John discovered, too, that he had been growing in stature, and it seem ed as if he had been growing out of shape. His feet and legs appeared very awkward; he didn’t know what to do with his hand's his face pained him, and, taken all in all, he was in clined to think he was not more than half put together. Now the truth was John Jackson was really a fine looking young man and nothing but his admiration of Nancy conld have suggested any such foolish thoughts about himself. As the novelists say, it was a lovely day in August The heavens were clear, serene and beautiful, the trees were laden with golden fruit, and the beautiful birds twittered their songs of love in the branches. Earth— (there we’ve slid down to earth once more; such lofty heights, they make our head dizzy } We were about to | say that “earth had yielded heT boun- i tifttl harvest of a vea-’s grass and clo ver, and honey-suekles, which the no ble yeomanry of Ghesterville had gar nered within theii storehouses ’ —but upon second thought concluded to word it thus: “The tarrne.'y I’hes- j '■r-—:ll-» were iV'Tie hrtV n 4 Jehu Jacks ti'.s sister haefa quiltmg ’ ihat afternoon. Ilis father had gone to “Keith’s Mill ’ to get some wheat ground, and John was lett to repair some tolls to be ready on the morrow to commence mowing the meadow grass. Suddenly it occurred to John that if he remained about the house in t ;e nft'-ruoon, he would be called in at tea time and required to do the honors of the table. To avoid this, he qUirtlv shouldered his scythe and stole away to the meadow, half a mile dis tant, fully resolved that he would not leave there until it was so dark that he could not see to mow, and thus avoid seeing the girls. The meadow was surrounded on all sides by a thick. forest, which etfectu-! ally shutout what little breeze there mijrlilj.be stiring. The sun poured its rays as though the little meado.g was the locus point where the heat was concentrated. John mowed and and mowed, until he was obliged to sit down and cool oil. Then it occurred to John that if he took otf his pants he might be more comfortable. There eouid l>e no ini- j propriety in it, as he was entirely con- J coaled from observation, and there j •was not tbe slightest reason to sup- i pose that he could not be seen by any persoa. . ! (So John stripped off, and with no cover save his linen- —-commonly calk'd a shirt—he resumed his work. He ! was just congratulating himself «|h»u the good time he hud Haying* and the lucky e he had made ironi umet- , ing the girls, when he chanced to : disturb a huge black snake,a genuine ■ I twister, with a white ring around ins neck. John was ho etmard, but he was mortally afraid of a snake. “Self preservation” was the first “passage, ’ ; that flashed upon Joliu’s mind, and j “legs take care of the body” was the j next. Dropping his scythe and spin- j ning round like a top, he was ready to strike to 2:40 gait, when at that moment the saake was near enough to hook his crooked teeth into John’s shirt, just above the hem. W ith a tremendous spring, he started oif with the speed of a locomotive. His first jump took the snake clear from the ground, and as John stole a hasty glance over his shoulders, he was hor rified to find the repCile securely fas tened to the extremity of his garment while the speed with which he rushed forward kept the serpent an angle of ninety degrees with his body. flere was a quandary If he stop pod the snake would coil about his bodv and squeeze him to death; if he j continued the race he’d soon fall front) sheer exhaustion. On he flew, scarce daring to think how bis dreadful race - would end. Instinctively he had taken the direction of home, when a feeling I „f security came over him. Suddenly flashed across his mind the true stateoi' affairs— his father gone —the quilt ;nff —and worst of all the ■’irfr' This j new horror sent the bood back ourd ! ling about his neck, and he came to a dead halt The next moment be felt the body of the cold, clammy mobster in contact with his hare legs, his tail creeping Around: them in a sort of an 00/ing way, as thmiixh his aiinkrship only meditated a little fun, by way of tickling John upon the knees. This was too much for humfin endu rance With a veil, such as tnati nev er utters save when in mortal terror, poor John strain set forward at ft break-neck pace, and once more had the pleasure of seeing the snake re sume his horiz,' ntal position, somewhat after the fashion of a comet. On he flew! John forgot the quilt- i ing forgot the girls, forgot ever thing but tli© snake. His active exercise (he naid partic ular attention to his running), together with the.exeessive beat, had brought! on thanoseMiTeed, and as be ran, ears erect and head thrown back, his chin tlinvat-and shirt bosom wore stained' with the -flowing ntroa-n. ilis first wild shriek had startled tlm quilters, and forth they rushed, I wondering "if some mad Indian was not prowling about. By this time t John was within a few rods of the , barn, still running at the top of hie speed, his head tunied so that he could keep one eye on the snake, and with the other observe what course lie must take. The friendly barn con cealed him from the sight of the girls. He kuew that they wore in l.te yard, having caught a glimpse of them as they rashed from the house. A few more bounds and' he would be in their midst. For a moment modesty j overcame fear, and he once more j halted. Tho snake, evidently pleased ! with his rapid transportation, mani- i festod his gratitude by attempting to j enfold the legs of our hero within his \ embrace. J I With an !”and urged j forward by “circumstances over which he had no control,”poor John bounded j . ow. The next moment he was in full j view of the girls, and as ho turned tlxo j corner ot the barn, the snake came round with a whiz, something aftor the fashion of a coach whip. Having reached the barn yard to bis dismay he found the bars up ; but time was too precious to be wasted in letting down bars.
