Countrs* Courting.—“ Get cout,
you nasty puppy—let me alone, or I’ll
te{J my ma I'’ eried Sal Smith to her lover
Jack Jones, who sat about ten feet from
her, pulling dirt from the chimney jam;
“I aint touehin’ on you, Sal,’’ reapon
ded Jake. - -
“Well, perhaps you don’t mean to,
author, do you ?” 4
••S', 1 don’t.'’
‘Cause you are too tarn&l Scary, you
longged, lantern-jawed, slab-sided, pig
eun-towed, gangle kneed owl, you hain’t
got a tarnal hit of sense. Get along home
with you.’
‘Now, Sal, I love you, a? and you can’t
help it, and es you don’t let r»e stay and
court you, my daddy’ll sue youru for
■hat ou .? lie soft yourn t’other day. By
jingo, he said he’d do if. • "
“Well, look here, Juse if you want to
court me, you’d better do it as a white
man does that thing—not sot off there as
though as if I was pizen.”
“llow on airth is that, Sal?”
“Why, side right up here and hug
and kins me, as if you really had some of
the bone and sinner about you, Do you
s’pose woman’s only made to look at,
you stood fool you?”
“Vi t " aaid Jake drawing a long
hreatb, “n I must, I must, for I love you,
Saland so Jake commenced sidling tip
to ber like a maple poker going to bat
tles. Laying his arm gently upon Sal’s
shoulder, we heard Sal say : -
“That’s the way to do it old boss, that
is acting like a white man orter.”
“0! Jerusalem and pancakes !” ex
claimed Jake, “if this aint better tbau
any apple sauce marm ever made, * darn

and’lasses ain’t nowhere’long side you,
Sal! O, how I Jove you 1” Here their
lips came together, and the report which
followed was like pulling a horse’s hoofs
out of the mire, and on the following
Sunday they were married.
Six Degrees or Decnk.eness.-Tlio
most foolish predicament a man can get
iniu is to get drunk. In drunkeness eve
ry man shows his strongest and most ar
dent passion. There are six kinds of
drunkards, and if you get into a city
drinking place where there are a dozen
men under the influenoe ofadiquor, you
will be sure to find those six different
characters, representing different ani
mals.
The first is ape drunk. He leaps, be
sings, and yells, and dances, making all
of “monkey shines” to excite the laugh
ters of his fellows. Terribly silly is the
drunken clown.
The second is tiger-drunk, lie breaks
the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the
head of his fellow-oarousers, and is full of
blood and thunder, ilis eyes are fired
with vengance, and his soul raves with
murderous fury. Os this sort are those
who abuse their families.
The third is hog-drunk lie rolls in
the dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts,
and going into tho street makes his bed
in the first ditch or filthy corner he may
happen to fail into. Ho is heavy, lump
ish and sleepy, and cries in a grunting
way for little more to drink.
The fourth is puppy drunk. lie will
weep for kindness, and whine his love
and hug you in his arms, and kiss you
with his slobbery lips, and proclaim how
much he loves you. You are the best
mau he ever saw, he will lay down his
money or his life for you.
The fifth is owl-druuk. He is wise iu
his own conceit. No man must differ
with him for his word is law. He is true
in politics, and all matter must be taken
as authority. His arm is the strongest,
his horse the fastest, his turnips the larg
est, his town the finest of all in the land.
The sixth and last animal in the men
agerie is the fox-drunkard. He is crafty,
ready to trade horses and cheat if he can.
Keen to strike a bargain, leering {around
with low cunning, peeping through ciacks
listening under the caves, watching for
some suspicious thing, sly as a fox, sneak
ing as a wolf. He is the meanest drunk
ard of all.
Severe But Trae. —The Chicago
Times expresses its opinion in respect to
negro suffrage in the following forcible
words:
The attempt to make the negroes dom
inant in the South through the agency
of a military despotism is a crime in com
parison with which the rebellion was %
virtue. There is every element of mean
ness in it. I f is cowardly revenge. It is
a deeleratlon by white American citizens
that ignorant and degraded negroes are
their superiors. It is the elevation of
sin and ignorance over intelligence and
virtue. Hell is not punishing a crime
more enormous or one which approaches
it in meanness The military command
er who will lend aid to its prepetration
is putrid. He is working for the accom
plishment of a villainy more horrible and
and loathsome than was prepetrated by
the hoary old lecher, Cenci.
A,correspondent of the Maine Farmer,
who raises seme fifty tons of tho hard
shell squashes, says that without the
seed they cause a greater flow of milk
than any other vegetable he ever used.
By way of experiment, one, season he fed
them with seed, and the milk considera
bly decreased. In three days after taken
cut the seed, “the milk was double and
quite as nob.”
