Perchans you sposed I'd gone to the Tomb of the Cappylets, tho I don't know what those is. It's a popler noospaper frase. Listen to my tail, and be silent that ye may here. I've been among the Se seshers a earnin my daily peck by my legitimit perfeshun, and havn't had no time to weeld my facile quill for "the Grate Koinick paper," if you'll allow me to kote from your troothful advertise ment. , My success was skaly, ana I likewise had a narrer scape of my life. If what I've bin threw is "Suthern hosspitality," 'bout which we've hearn so much, then I feel bound to obsarve that they made two much of me. They was altogether too lavish with their attenshuns. I went amung the Seseshers with no feelins of annermosity. I went in my perfeshernal capacity. I was actooated by one of the most Loftiest desires which can swell the human Buzzum viz., to giv the peeple their money's worth, by showin them Sagashus Beests, and Wax Statoots, which I venter to say air on surpast by any other statoots anywheres. I will not call that man who sez my statoots is humbugs a lier and a hoss thief, but bring him be4 me and I'll wither him with one of my scornful frowns. But to proseed with my tail. In my travels threw the Sonny South I heared a heap of talk about Seceshon and bus tin up the Union, but I didn't think it mounted to nothin. The politicians in all the villages was swearin that Old Abe (sometimes called the Prahayrie flower) shouldn't never be noggerated. They also made fools of t heirselves in varis ways, but as they was used to that I didn't let it worry me much, and the Stars and Stripes continued for to wave over my little tent. Moor over, I was a Son of Malty and a member of several other Temperance Societies, and my wife she was a Dawter of Malty, and I sposed these fax would secoor me the in floonz and and pertectiun of all the fust families. Alas! I was dispinted. Statp arter State seseshed and it growed hotter and hotter for the under sined. Things came to a chmbmacks in a small town in Alabamy, where I was premtorally ordered to haul down the Stars & Stripes. A deppytashun of red faced men cum up to the door of my tent ware I was standin takin money (the arternoon exhibishun had com menst, an' my Italyun organist was jerkin his sole-stirrin chimes). "We air cum. Sir," said a millihgtary man in a cockt hat, "upon a high and holy mishun. The Southern Eagle is screamin threwout this sunny land proudly and defiantly screamin, Sir!" "What's the matter with him':1" sez I; "don't his vittles sit well on his stum muck?" "That Eagle, Sir, will continner to scream all over this Brite and tremenjus land!" "Wall, let him scream. If your Eagle can amuse hisself by screamin, let him went!" The men anoyed me, for I was bvzzy makin change. "We are cum, Sir, upon a matter of dooty "You're right, Capting. , It's every man's dooty to visit my show," sed I. "We air cum" "And that's the reason you are here!" sez I, larfin one of my silvery larfs. I thawt if he wanted to goak I'd giv him some of my sparklm eppygrams. "Sir, you're inserlent. The plain ques tion is, will you haul down the Star Spangled Banner and hist the Southern flag?" "Nary hist!" Those was my reply. "Your wax works and beests is "then confisticated, & you air arrested as a Spy!" Sez I, "My fragrant roses of the Southern clime and Bloomin daffodils, what's the price of whisky in this town, and how many cubic feet of that seduct ive flooid can you individooally hold?" They inatle no reply to that, but said my wax figgers was confisticated. I axed them if that was ginerally the stile among tlrieve3 in that country, to which they also made no reply, but sed I was arrested as a Spy, and must go to Mont gomry in' inns. They was by this time jiued by a large crowd of other South ern patrits, who commenced hollerin "Hang the baldheaded abolitionist, and butt up his immoral exhibition!" I was ceased and tied to a stump, and the crowd went for my tent that water proof pavilion, wherein instruction and auioosment had been so muchly com bined, at 15 cents per head and tore it all to pieces. Meanwhile dirty faced boys was thro win stuns and empty beer bottles at my massiv brow, and takin other improper liberties with my person. Resistance was useless, for a variety of reasons, as I readily obsarved. The Ses?shers confisticated my statoots by smashing them to attums. They then went to my money box and confisticated all the loose change, therein contained. They then went and bust in my cages, h'ttin all the animals loose, a small but helthy tiger among the rest. This tiger has a excentric way of tearin dogs to peaces, and I alters sposed from his gin et al conduck that he'd hav no hesitashnn in servin human beins in the same way if he could git at them. Excuse me if I was crooil, bnt I larfed boysterrusly when I see that tiger spring in among the leople. "Go it, my sweet cuss!" I inardly exclaimed. "I- forgive you for bitin off my left thum with all my heart! Rip 'em up like a bully tiger whose Lare has bin inwaded by Sesehers!" I can't say for certain that the tiger serisly injured any of them, but as he was seen a few days after, sum miles dis i:mt, with a large and well selected as r rl ment of seats of trowsis in his mouth, atid as he lookt as tho he'd bin havin sum vilent exercise, I rayther guess he did. You will therefore perceive that they didn't conli;ticate him much. 1 was can-id to Montgomery in inns and placed in durans vial. The jail wan a onery edinss, but the table was lib erally surplied with Bakin and Cab- Mm tiaSaTiS to help myself to the cabbige. I had nobody to talk; to nor nothin to talk about, howsever, and I was very lonely, specially on the first day; so when the jailer parst my lonely sell I put the few stray hairs on the back part of my hed (Tin bald now, but thare was a time when I wore sweet auburn ringlets) into as dish-hevild a state as possible, & rollin my eyes like a manyuck, I cride: "Stay, jaler, stay! I am not mad, but soon" shall be if you don't bring me suthin to Talk!" He brung me sum noospapers, for which I thanked him kindly. At larst I got a interview with Jeffer son Davis, the president of the Southern Conthieveracy. He was quite perlite, and axed me to sit down and state my case. I did it, when he larfed and said his eallunt men had been a little 2 en- thoosiastic in confisticatin my show. "Yes," sez I, "they confisticated me too muchly. I had sum hosses confisti cated in the same way onct, but the con- fisticators air now poundin stun in the States Prison in Injinnapylus." "Wall, wall, Mister Ward, you air at liberty to depart; you are frendly to the South, I know. Even now we hav many frens in the North, who sympathise with us, and won't mingle with this fight." "J. Davis, there's your grate mistaik. Many of us was your sincere frends, and thought certain parties amung us was fussin about you and meddlin with your consarns mtirely too mucn. But J. Davis, the minit you fire a gun at the piece of dry goods called the Star Spangled banner, the North gits up and rises en massy, in defence of that ban ner. Not agin you as individools not agin the South even but to save the flag. We should indeed be weak in the knees, unsound in the heart, milk-white in the liver, and soft in the hed, if we stood quietly by, and saw this glorus Govyment smashed to pieces, either by a furrin or a intestine foe. The gentle- harted mother hates to take her naughty child across her knee, but she knows it is her dooty to do it. So we shall hate to whip the naughty South, but we must do it if you don't make back tracks at onct, and we shall wallup you out of your boots! J. Davis, it is my decided opinion that the Sonny South is making a egrejus mutton-lied of herself!" "Go on, sir, you're safe enuff. You're too small powder for me!" sed the Presi dent of the Southern Conthieveracy. "Wait till I go home and start out the Baldinsville Mounted Hoss Cavalry! I'm Capting of that Corpse, I am, and J. Davis, beware! Jefferson D., I now leave you! Farewell, my gay Saler Boy! Good bye. my bold buccaneer! Pi rut of the deep blue sea, adoo! adoo!" My tower threw the Southern Con thieveracy on my way home was thrillin enuff for yeller covers. It will form the subjeck of my next. Betsy Jane and the projeny air well. Yours respectively, A. Ward. FRAGMENT FROM A NEW ENGLAND SPEECH. I see mutch to admire in New Englan. Your gals in particklar air about as snug built peaces of Calliker as I ever saw. They air fully equal to the corn fed gals of Ohio and Injianny, and will make the bestest kind of wives. It sets my Buz zum on fire to look at 'in. Be still, my sile, be still, & you, my Hart, stop cut tin up! I like 5our skool houses, your meetin houses, your enterprise, gumpshun, &c, but your favorit Bevridge I disgust. I allude to New England Rum. It is wuss nor the korn whisky of Injianny, which eats threw stone jugs and will turn the stummnck of the most shiftliss Hog. I seldom seek consolashun at the flowin Bole, but tother day I wurrid down some of your Rum. The fust glass indused me to swar like a infooriated trooper. On takin the sec und glass I was seezed with a desire to break winders, & arter imbibin the third glass I knockt a small boy down, pic t his pocket of a New York Ledger, and wild I3 commenced readin Sylvanus Kobb's last Tail.

"The swings and arrers of out raj us for tin," alluded to by Hamlick, warn't nothin in comparison to my troubles. I come pesky near swearing some profane oaths more'n rmnr. but I hopo I didn't do it, for I've promist she whose name shall be nameless (ex cept that her initials is Betsy J.) that I'll jine the Meetin House at Baldinsville, jest as soon as I can scrape money enuff together so I can 'ford to be pinss in good stile, like my welthy nabers. But if I'm confisticated agin I'm fraid I shall continner on in my present benited state for sum time. I figgered conspicyously in many thrillin scenes in my tower from Mont gomry to my humsted. and on sevril occasions I thought "the grate komick paper" wouldn't be enriched no more with my lubrications. Arter biddin adoo to Jefferson D. I started for the depot. I saw a nigger sittin on a fence a-playin on a banjo. "My Afrikan Brother," sed I, coting from a Track I onct red, "you belong to a very interestin race. Your masters is goin to war exclooaively on your account." "Yea, boas," he replied, "an' I wish 'em honorable graves," and he went on nlavin the banjo, larfin all over and 1 1 , , . .-. Mr4 rnnA-i openin his mouth wide enuff to drive in an old fashioned 2 wheeled chaise. The train of cars in which I was to trust my wallerable life was the scaliest, rickytiest lookin lot of consarns that I ever saw on wheels afore. "What time does this string of second hand coffins leave?" I inquired of the depot master. He sed direckly, and I went in & sot down. I hadn't mor'n fairly squatted afore a dark lookin man with a swinis ter expression onto his countenance en tered the cars, and looking very aharpJpn tne glite8t provocashun may hav bin at me, he axed what was my principles? "Secesb!" I answered. "I'm a Disso luter. J'm in favor of Jeff Davis, Bowre gard, Pickens, Capt. Kidd, Bloobeard, Munro Edards, the devil, Mrs. Cunning ham and all the rest of 'em." "You're in favor of the war?" "Certingly. By all means. I'm in favor of this war and also of the next war for over sixteen years!" Pye bin in favor of the next war. "War to the knife!" sed the man. "lud, Eargo, Bind!" sed I, tho them words isn't orrigernal with me. We got under way at hurst, an' pro ceeded on our jerney at about the rate of speed which is ginrally obsarved by properly conducted funeral processions. A hansUm yung gal, with a red mus keter bar on the back side of her hed. and a sassy little black hat tipt over her forrerd, sot in the seat with me. She wore a little Sesesh flag pin'd onto her hat, and she was a goin for to see her true love, who had jined the Southern army, ail so Doia ana gay. so sue tola me. She was chilly, and I offered her ny blanket. "Father livin?" I axed. "Yes sir.1' "Got any Uncles?" "A heap. Uncle Thomas is ded, tho." "Peace to Uncle Thomas' ashes, and success to mm: 1 will oe your uncle Thomas! Lean on me, my pretty Secesh er, and linger in Blissfulrepose!" She slept as secoorly as in her own housen. At the first station a troop of Sojers entered tho cars and inquired if "Old Wax Works" was on bored. That was the disrespectiv stile in which they re ferred to me. "Becawz if Old Wax Works is on bored,1-sez a man with a face like a double brested lobster, "we're going to hang Old Wax Works!" "My illustrious and patriotic Bum mers!" sez I, a git tin up and takin orf my Shappo, "if you allude to A. Ward, it's my pleasin dooty to inform you that he's ded. He saw the error of his ways at 15 minits parst 2 yesterday, and stabbed hisself with a stuffed sled stake, dyin in five beautiful tabloos to slow moosic! His larst words was: 'My per feshernal career is over! I jerk no more.' " "And who be you?" "I am a stoodent in Senator Benja min's law off ss. I'm going up north to steal some spoons and things for the Southern Army." This was satisfactry and the intossi cated troopers went orf. At the next station the pretty little Secesher awoke and said she must get out there. I bid her a kind adoo and give her some per vishuns. "Accept my blessin and this hunk of gingerbread!" I sed. She thankt me muchly and tript galy away. At the next station I didn't get orf so easy. I was dragged out of the cars and rolled in the mud for several minits, for the purpose of "takin the conseet out of me," as a Secesher kindly stated. I was let up finally, when a powerful large Secesher came up and embraced me, and to show that he had no hard feelins agin me put his nose into my mouth. I returned the compliment by placin my stummick suddenly agin his right foot, when he kindly made a spit toon of his able-bodied face. Actooated by a desire to see whether the Secesher had been vaxinated I then fastened my teeth onto his left coat sleeve and tore it to the shoulder. We then vilently bunted our heads to gether for a few minits, danced around a little, and sot down in a mud puddle. We riz to our feet agin, and by a sudden and adroit movement I placed my left eye agin the Secesher's fist. We then rushed into each other's arms and fell under a two-hose wagon. I was very much exhaustid and didn't care about git tin up agin, but the man said he reck oned I'd better, and I conclooded I would. He pulled me up, but I hadn't bin on my feet mOre'n two seconds afore the ground flew up and hit me in the hed. The crowd sed it was high old sport, but 1 couldn't zackly see where tlre-4af ture come in. I riz and we em braced agin. We careered madly to a steep bank, when I got the upper hands of my antagonist and threw him into the raveen. He fell about forty feet, striking a grindstone pretty hard. I understood he was injured. I haven't heard from the grindstone. A man in a cockt hat cum up and sed he felt as though a apology was doo me. There was a mistake. The crowd had taken me for another man! I told him not to mention it, and axed him if his wife and little ones was so as to be about, and got on bored the train, which had stopped at that station "20 minits for re freshments." I got all I wantid. It was the hartiest meal I ever et. I was rid on a rail the next day, a bunch of blazin fire crackers bein tied to my coat tales. It was a fine spectycal in a dramatic pint of view, but I didn't enjoy it. I had other adventures of a startlin kind, but why continner? Why lasserate the Public Boozuin with these here things? Suff ysit to say I got across Mason & Dixie's line safe at last. I made tracks for my humsted, but she to whom I'm harnist for life failed to recognize, in the emashiated bein who stood before her, the gushin youth of f orty-six summers who had left her only a few months afore. But I went into the pantry, and brought out a cer tin black bottle. Raisin it to my lips, I sed, "Here's to you, old gal!" I did it so natral that she kno wed me at once. "Those form! Them voice! That nat ral stile of doin things! 'Tis he!" she cried, and rushed into my arms. It was too much for her & she fell into a swoon. I cum very near swoundin myself. FOURTH OF JULY ORATION. Delivered on the Fourth of July at Weathers fleld, Conn., 1859. I delivered the fouerin, about two years ago, to a large and discriminating awjinee. I was 96 minits passin a given pint. I have revised the orashua, and added sum things which makes it appro posser to the times than it otherwise would be. I have also corrected the g rammers and punktooated it. I do my own punktooatin now days. The Printers in Vanity Fair offls can't punktooate worth a cent. Feller Cttizens: I've bin honored with a invite to norate before you today; and when I say that I skurcely feel ekal to the task, I'm sure you will believe me. Weathersfield is justly celebrated for her onyins and patritism, the world over, and to be axed to paws and address you on this my fust perfeshernal tower threw New Englan, causes me to feel to feel I may say it causes me to feel. (Grate applaws. They thought this was one of my eccentricities, while the fact is I was stuck. This between you and I.) I'm a plane man. I don't know nothin about no ded languages and am a Utile i shaky on livin ones. There4, expect no , flowry talk from me. What I shall say ! will be to the pint, right strate out. I I'm for the Union as she air, and with ered be the arm of every ornery cuss who attempts to bust her up. That's me. I have sed! It was a very sweaty day, and . at this pint of the orashun a man fell j down with sunstroke. I told the awjinee I that considerin the large number of putty ; gals present I was more afraid of a daw xsa stroke. This was impromptoo, and seemed to anioose tnem very mucn.j Feller Citizens I hain't got time to notis the growth of Ameriky from the time when the Mayflowers cum over in the Pilgrim and brawt Plymmuth Rock with them, but every skool boy nose our kareer has bin tremenjis.

Thare was no diskount, however, on them brave men who fit, bled and died in the American Revolu shun. We needn't be afraid of setting 'em up two steep. Like my show, they will stand any amount of prase. G. Washington was abowt the best man this world ever sot eyes on. He was a clear-heded, warm-harted, and stiddy goin man. He never slopt over! The prevailin weakness of most public men is to SLOP OVER! Put them words in large letters A. W. They git filled up and slop. They Rush Things. They travel too much on the high presher principle.
