Indeed, on second thought, 1 hard ly know as 1 urn justified in paying ti at Jul 1 11 Glass hud any face at all ; but he had a head, ;md the front part of lh.it head much r sftiihled one side of mi o ergrown liiidly-whitewa.-heil gourd a j tit ion of the nose and original skin .having boon removed, leaving in place (a kind of cie;itrized surface, which u 'great amount ol' weather, and a totnl absence of soap and water, had turned to a color that I tind -comparable with nothing except the aforesaid vegetable. 1 was not at that lime acquainted wilh John personally ; but being sonie-j what fascinated bv his appearance, I bogged an introduction, which was rea dily accorded by one having the honor of some familiarity with this nondescript specimen of the wilderness. 4 I e-ny, old boss, hyer's a settlement chnp as wants to know you a few,' wore the words which brought the attention of John Glass fully upon myself, and was my only lorm of presentation to the scarified mountaineer. 4 Wall, stranger, you kin know me a heap, ef you're civil," was the reply of my new acquaintance, spoken in a lone that sounded not unlike the gurgling of water from a jug. 4 Chaw, hoss 1' he added, iuiiuirini'ly, having, like many another individual I WOI of, ail eye tO ()e p0jJt3 w)icll might accrue tVcmi my . - actlUailltanCC 1 instantly took the hint and plug fll,,n ,wv,.L-.l no.l I,..., II., ...

I saw I had made a good impression on my vutre friend of the wilderness, and I naturally argued, that it a plug ot tobacco could do that much.aliltle whis key would do more. So after a few exchanges of civilities, in which I en deavored to compliment John as much ft3 he had in, 1 mildly suggested that we might as well take a drink. Ilurraw!' he cried, in his broadly accented dialect, 4 vou'te one on 'em, stranger, und old peeled Jack is one as likes to know vou. Drink t In course I 'will and ef you kin jest find the fel low as says John Glass evcrknowed to refuse to drink when ax'd, 3'ou'll see a fight.' Accordingly, we adjourned to one or that kind of inatitutiotjs in which these rough borderers mondo congregate ; an.d, iiaviiig.caJiedStjer a lew ol John's friends, we chartVred a cbYner of the shanty for that especial occasion. 1 he wlnskey having been brought for ward, in due proportion to the number and quality of the guests who at once paid their rt spt cts lo it, pipes were next m order; and each nuni having loaded, prepared to are and did tire and such a volume of smoke I never before beheld except at the discharge ofa regu lar battery. My sole object in this operation was to hoar from (ho lipsof John Glass him self how it had happened that his figure head bad become so seriously dama ged ; and so, seizing the first favorable oppoit unity, 1 broached the subject in a quiet way. 44 Wnl, stranger," said John, "that was one o' the seiapes. Hoy, Bill," he added, turning to one of his com panions, " you remembers l hat lhar, I reckon V" 4 Wal, I does, hoss," returned the other; " and ef I didn't think you war dead that time, may I never see the the Kooky agin !" " Yes, Bill," pursued Glass, " you thought as how I war dead ; and it's like you wan't glad to find it different, tor you'd got my hoss and gun all snug enough. But you see, when John Glass goes under, thar's gwine to be an 'arth .piake ; and th ir warn't nary 'arthquake then.

Ilurraw, Bill !' savs I, 4 we're in fiir't now. We'll be made meat on, sure as shooting.' Wal, we will, old hoss,' says Bill, 4 ouless our legs is longer nor the bar's.' 4 It's a run now, anyway,' says I, as we both on us made a break through the thicket. 4 Bill was behind me afore, but he was ahead o' me now; and ef he didn't do some tall walking then, I never seed snakes. Hev, Bill!" 4 Wal, I did, Jack,' grinned Bill, who was himself nearly as pretty a specimen of th wilderness as the narrator. 4 We both on us tore through the bushes like mad,' resumed the old mountainer ; but they was awful thick tocether, I tell vou, and we didn't git alone not niiih so fast as I has aline I now, tumbling down hill ; and we didn't get along not nigh so fast as the cussed , J , I know about the tight,' pursued Glass ; and a pam were gw.ne out to the moun-, , but son)e lime net j.,1 j Q j tains.
