|3milDl‘DUs. COURTING IN FRENCH HOLLOW BY “SOLITAIRE.” From J . S. Robb's Volume of Stories just ‘published by Carey and Ilart. *- Courtin’ i? all slick enough when every body’s agreed, and the gal aint got no mischief in her: but when an extensive family, old maids, ctoss daddy, and romantic old mommy all want to put thur fingers into the young uns’ dish of sweet doin’s, and the gat’s fractious besides, why a feller that’s yearnin’ arter matrimony is mity likely to git his fires dampened; or burst his bi ler.” Thus reasoned Tom Bent to a se lect party of river cronies, who were seated around him upon the boiler deck of a Mississippi steamer, as she sped along one bright night in June, somewhere in the neigh borhood of Bayou Teche. The subject was courting, and on that particular question, Tom was con sidered an oracle, for, besides hav ing a strong penchant for the fair sex, he had run many risks to ingratiate himself in their affections. Tom was now fast falling into the sere and yellow leaf of bachelorism, and although he had vowed unalter able affection to at least one fair one in each town between the mouth and the rapids, lie still remained in unblessed singleness. “ How about that afarr of your’n with old Fecho’s gal, in St. Louis, Tom ? ” inquired one of the circle. “ What, that little French gal? ” inquired Tom with a grin ; “ well, that thar was a salty scrape boys, and though the laugh is agin me thar, I’m blessed if 1 don’t give you the sarcumstince.” So Tom squared himself for a yarn, wet his lips with a little corn juice, took a small strip of Missouri weed, and “let out.” “ That gal of old Fecho’s was about the pootyest creatur, for a foreigner, I ever took a shute arter ; her eye jest floated about in her head like a star’s diadow on a Mis sissippi wave, and her model was trim as the steamer Eagle; ’sides, her paddles were the cleanest shaped fixins that ever propelled anythin’ human, and her laugh like a challenge bell on a ‘fast trip —it could’nt help it. I danced with her at some of the balls in French town, and thar I gin to edge up and talk lender at her, but she only laughed at my sweet’nin’. After a spell, when I cum it strong about affeeshun, and the needeessitv of towin’ side and side together, she . told me that her old daddy wouldn’t let her marry an American ! Es I warn’t snagged at this I wouldn’t say so. The old fell ar wur a sittin’ on a bench smokin’ and lookin’ on at the dance, and I jest wished him a hot berth for a short spell. ‘Well, Marie,’ said 1, ’ef [ melt the old man down will you gin in?’ “ ‘Oh,’ says she, ‘you so vair strong at vat you call coax , I shall not know how to say one leetel no.’ “So havin’ fixed it all with her smooth as a full freight and a June rise, I drew up alongside of the old fellar, just as he had cleared his chimley for a fresh draw of his pipe. Old Fecho had been a mountain tra der, was strong timbered, not much the worse fur wear, and looked wick ed as a tree’d bear. I fired up and generated and inch or two more steam, and then blew off at him. ‘That’s an onconscionable slick gal of your’n, Mounseer,’ says I, to be begin with; and it did tickle his fancy to have her crackled up, ’cause he thought her creation’s finishin’ touch —so did 1! ‘Oui, sair,’ says old Fecho, ‘she vair fine leetle gal, von angel wizout de ving; she is, sair, mine only von jillc .’ “ ‘W ell, she is a s(rovger,’ answer ed l; ‘a parfect high pressure, and no dispute 1* “ ‘Vat you mean by him eh ? vat ?°u call s-c-r-r-r-ouge,eh ? vat is he, S:Ur > my l ee tle gil no vat you call \ on c ~ r ' r -r-°uge, sair!’ and here ° ‘ ec * m went off into a mad fit, 1 jest as es I’d called her bad names. I tried to put down his ‘safety valve’ but he would blow off his wrath ; and workin’ himself into a parfect freshet of rage, he swore he would take the little gal off home and I’m blessed es he didn’t. As soon as I eyed the old fellar startin’ I got in his wake and follered him, determin ed to find out whar he located ; and arter an eternal long windin’ thro’ one street arter another, down he dived into French Hollow. Jest as he wur about to enter a house built agin the side of the hill, the old fellar heerd my footsteps, and turin’ round in the darkness be shouted — “ ‘Ah, ha! von sneak Yankee doodel, vat call my leetel gal von s-c-r-r-r-ouger, I shall cut vou all up into one leetle piece vidout von whole.’ “You know, boys, I aint easy skeer’d, but I own up that old fellar did kind a make me skeery; they told sich stories about the way he used to skin Ingins, that I gin to think it was about best to let him have both sides of the channel es he wanted it, so I didn’t darr to go see Marie for a long spell. One day I felt a strong hankerin, and jest stroll ed along the holler to git a glimpse on her, and, sure enough thar she wur, a leanin’ out the winder, smilin’like the mornin’ sun on a sleepin’ bayou. I sidled up to the house, and asked her efl darr cum and sit up with her thatevenin.’ 1 told her I was jest fritterin’ away all to nothin’ thinkin’ on her, and a small mite of courtin’ would spar me up amazin’ ; and then I gin her sich a look, that she fluttered into con sent as easy 7 as a mockin’ tird whis tles. “ ‘ Oh, oui, you shall come some time dis night, when mon pere is gone to the cabaret ; but you must be vair quiet as von leetle rat, vat they call de mouse, and go vay before he come back tode maison .” “ In course I promised to do jest as she said. I kissed my hand to her, and said ciurrcvoir as the French say for good-by, and then paddled off to wait for night. I felt wuss oneasy until the time arriv, and when it did git round I gin to crawl all over, I swar I was a little skeered. Hows’ever, it warn’t manly to back out now, when the gal was expec tin’ me, so I started for the Hollow. I think a darker night was never mixed up and spread over this y r earlh—you remember, Bill, the night you steered the old Eagle square into the bank at Midlikin’s bend ? well, it were jest a mite dar ker than that! A muddy run winds along through the ravine whar the house stands, and I wur particular ly near fioppin’ into it several times. A piece of candle in the window, lightad me to whar the little gal was a waitin’, and when I tapped at the door below, she pattered down and pilotled me up to the sittin’ room, whar we sot down and took a good look at each other. She looked poo ty enough to tempt a feller to bite a piece out of her. 1 had all sorts of good things made up to say when a chance offered, and here the chance wur, but cuss me es I could get out the fust mutter. Whether it wur skecr at the idee of the old French man, or a bilin’ up of affeeshun for his darter that stuck my throat so tight, I’m unable to swar, but thar I wur, like a boat fast on a sand-bar, mowin’ some, but makin’mity little headway. “‘Vat is de mattair wiz you Mounseer ?’ said Marie; ‘ you look vair much like de leaf in von grand storm, all ovair wiz de shake !’ “ ‘ Well,’ says I, ‘I do feel as es 1 wur about to collapse a flue, or bust my biler, for the fact of the matter is Marie, they say your old daddy’s a tiger, and it I git caught here thar’ll be suthin’ broke—a burry in* instead of a wedden’ ; not that I’m tlie leest mite skeered fur myself, but the old man might git hurt, and l should be fretted to do any sech a thing.’ “ ‘ Oh, mon amie , nevair be fear fur him, he is von great, strong as vat you call de gentlemen cow ? von bull—but, mon Dieu ! what shall Ido wiz you, suppose he come eh? He vill cut you into bits all ovair !’ “‘But my angel,’ ses I, ‘he shan’t ketch me for I’ll streak it like a fast boat the moment 1 hear from his ’scape-pipe —the old man might as well try to catch a Missis sippi catty with a thread line, as git his fingers on me.’ I had no soon er said so, than bang! went the door below, and old Fecho, juicy as a melon, feelin’ his way up stairs, mutterin’ like a small piece of fat thunder, and swarin’ orfully. — I kno wed thar warn’t much time to spare, so I histed the winder and backed out. Jest as I was about to drop, Marie says to me— ‘ Oh, mon Dicu! don’t drop into de veil!’ and instanter shut the winder. My har riz on eend in a moment — 'don't drop into the well !’ “I’ll tell you what boys, a souse into the Mississippi in ice time warn’t half as cold as her last warn in’ made me. It was so etarnal dark that I couldn’t begin to tell which side of the buildin’ I wur on, and that wur an all important per ticuler, fur it wur jest three stories on one side, towards the Hollow, and it warn’t only one on the side next the hill—in course, all the chances wur in favor of the well being on the low side. I’d gin all I had then to know which side was waitin below fur me. I looked up, as I hung on, to see es thar warn’t a star shinin’ somwhare, jest to give a hint of what was below, but they’d all put on thar nightcaps, and wouldn’t be coaxed from under the kiver; then Fd look below, and listen, until I made sartin in my mind that I could hear droppin’ of water, somewhar übouX fifty feet below me! Old Fe cho was a tearin’ through the room and a rippin’ out French oaths, in an oncommon rapid manner, and declarin’ that he knew someone had bin thar, fur he had bin told so. Two or three times he appeared to be rushin’ for the winder, and the little gal would coax him back agin, and then he’d cuss de Yankee doodels,and grit his teeth most ow daciously. Well, es I warn’t in an oneasy situation all this time, then I’m more than human —my arms jest stretched out to about a yard and a half in length, and gin to cramp and git orful weak. I could’nt, for the life of me, think on any prayer I’d ever heard—at last, jest as one hand was givin’ way its hold, I thort of a short one I used to say when I was a younker, and mutterin’—‘Here I drop me down deep, I pray the Lord my bones to keep!’ I sot my teeth together, drew a long breath, shut my eyes and let go! — whiz ! — r-r-r-ip! bang ! I went —as 1 supposed —about fifty feet; and didn’t I holler, when I lit and rolled over, and the water sous ed all around me ! ‘Mu rder ! oh, git me out! oh-o-o-o, murder ! The people came rushin’ out of their houses, with lights, and sich another jargon of questions as they showered at me—askin,’ all together, who’d bin a stabbin’ me? what wliur the marter ? and who’d hit me. I opened my eyes to tell ’em I’d’ fell from the third story, and broke eve ry bone in my body, when on look in’ up, thar wur the old Frenchman and his darter grinin’ out of the top winder, about ten feet above me ! The fact wur, boys, I’d dropped out on the / ill side of the house and jumped down jest four fret from whar my toes reached.—l had lit on the edge of a water pail, and it flowed about me when I fell over ! Arter old Fecho told them the joke, they pretty nigh busted a larfin’ at me. I crawled off, arter firin’ a vol ley at old Mounseer, of the hardest kind of cusses, and from that day to this I han’t gone a courtin’ in French Hollow! At a parish examination a clergy man asked a charity boy if he had ever been baptised. “No sir,” was the reply, “not as I knows of but I’ve been waxinated.” SASHES, DOORS, AND BLINDS. 10,000 LIGHTS of SASH, of all sizes, from 8X 18 to 12 X 20. 150 pair Blinds for Windows of all sizes. 50 Pannel Doors different sizes and thic kness.
