I rode the mail one of the hardest
winters that ever froze a boy’s toes
off, and maybe something would come
of it, but it dident. . ,;i
I used to go to mill, too, just like
Henry Clay, “the mill-boy of the
slushes,” as they called him, and I
got a good many slashes myself for
goin in a washing, and sometimes for
getting back a little too soon. If
some other boy dident go with me I
always found one to come buck with,
and we would leave the grist so as to
run races alb the way home and git
to go back next day. Then it was
such a glorious frolic to go in a wash
ing mud swim around, which my care
ful mother dident approve of, and so
Hhe used to sew my shirt together at
the collar ; but then me .and Billy
Maltby used to carry along a needle
and thread, and after we came out I
would lie down and lot him sew up
my collar, and then 1 would sew up
bison, and we would come mighty
nigh making the stitches all the same
as they was. That’s mighty bad, I
know, but you sco we was boys.
That kind of fun is all over now,
but its still a comfort when I am sad
to hiteh up the little wagon and take
two or three of the bairnB to mill,
and us they rise to the top of the hill
that brings the bigold wheel in s : ght
hear the little voices pipo up and
sing-
* 'Listen to the water-mill
All the live-long day.”

When a young man comes to our
town on business, and has to go back
on the next train, and has a spare
little time, and hires a gray horse
and buggy, and comes out to see us
late in the evening, and cant stay to
supper, its a sign lie is friendly. I’m
sorter dull on emotions. They don’t
come (ptick to the surface and gush
like some folks, but I was glad to see
him, shore. I never knew anything
but good of him in my life. He’s
got discretion. If lie likes anybody
he shows it; but if he don’t liko ’em
they never find it out. lie uttends

day’s journey,
there’s a btunp somewhere in his era-
uium that propels him, and its got
more itower than all the steam in a
compress. He is always doing some
thing to plouso om, and if it wosent
•gainst tho law would marry half a
dozen out of pure goodness of heart.
My prediction is that-he will finally
tuko a young widow, who has seen
hotter days, just to Iw a father to
her orphan childron. One timo he
vfent to see a pretty girl way down
in Polk, and her pit us old father had
a family rule that ovory child should
rei>eat a verse of Scripture ut the
breakfast-table in tho place of grace,
and lie expected his visitors to do tho
same, if they could. My young
friend was tukon somewhat by sur
prise, but lie rallied just in time and
•aid in his turn: “He that findoth
a wifo fiudeth a good thing from the
Lord,” which was tho only verse he
could think of, and oome up from
tho bottom of his heart like inspira
tion. I wish ho would make haste
and consolidate with someone of om,
for he’d make her happy and work
in the harness so gentle.
You see my thoughts are running
now in that direction, for I am lone
some. Its altogether possiblo fora

tho family, if .tho bright particular

love-letters and a fresh string of
prom’.sos, and hIio'11 got om, for I
never was stubborn about a thing of
that sort. A long time ago I tried

rambunctious. They are always
calm and screen, und bothor the
world as little as possible. Folks
tell a heap of tales about om taking
too muoh toll and their hogs always
being, fat, but that’Ball slander. Its
like the talk about preachers’ sons,
and tailors’ cabbage, and tho shoe
makers wifo going barefooted, and
the grocer telling his son to sand the
sugar and coma in to prayor. Human
nat ure is obliged to liavo some story

But 1 don’t think a miller's life is
conducive to make a great man of
him. It will quiet a man down and
reconcile him to misfortune and mo
notony, but it’ aint calculated to raise
the lion if there is any in him. I
never heard of one being anything
but k miller. Andy Johnson was a
tailor, and Henry C lay a mill-boy,
and Joe Brown plowed a nuin-cow,
and Judge Underwood broke hides
and curried leather, and Mr. Bnrritt
was a blacksmith, and when my good
mother used to hear of these great
men spriugiu up from such humble
callings she would remind me that
