The peasantry was glad to see me. The skoolmaster sed it was cheerin to see that gigantic intellect- among 'em onct more. That's what he called me. I like the skoolmaster, and aliens send him tobacker when I'm off on a travelin campane. Besides, he is a very sensible man. Snch men must be encouraged. They don't git news very fast is Bald insville, as not bin but a plank road runs in there twice a week, and that's very much out of repair. So my nabers wasn't much posted up in regard to the wars. 'Squire Baiter sed he'd voted the dimi cratic ticket for goin on forty year, and the war was a dam black republican lie. Jo. Stackpole, who kills hogs for the 'Squire, and has got a powerful muscle into his arms, sed he'd bet $5 he could lick the Crisis in a fair stand up fight, if he wouldn't draw a knife on him. So it went sain was for war and sum was for peace. The newspapers got along at last, chock full of war, and the patriotic fever fairly bust out in Baldinsville. 'Squire Baxter sed he didn't b'lieve in Coercion, not one of 'em, and could prove by a file of Eaglet of Liberty in his garrit, that it was all a Whig lie, got up to raise the price of whisky and destroy our other liberties. But the old.'Squire got putty riley when he heard how the rebels was cuttin up, and he sed he reckoned he should skour up his old inuskit and do a little square iitin for the Old Flag, which had allers bin on the ticket he'd voted, and he was too old to Bolt now. The next mornin I 'rose with the lark (N. B. I don't sleep with the lark, tho A goak.) My little dawter was execootin ballids, accompany in herself with the Akordeon, and" she wisht me to linger and hear her sing, "Hark, I hear a angel singin, a angel now is onto the wing." "Let him fly, my child!" sed I, a-bucklin on my armer, "I most forth to my Biz 1 had a seris time git tin into my tin Hi - tary harness, as it was bilt for me many years ago; but I finally got inside of it tho' it fitted me putty clost. Howsever, onct into it, I lookt fine in fact, aw-in spirin. "Do you know me, Mrs. Ward?' aed I, walkin into the kitchin. "anow you, you 01a rooi." Of course I do." I saw at once she did. We air progressin pretty well with our drill. As all air commandin offissers there ain't no jelusy, and as we air all exceedin smart it faint worth while to try to outstrip each other. The idee of a company composed excloosively of Com manders-in-Chiefs, orriggernated, I spose L skurcely need say. in these Brane. Con sidered as a idee, I flatter mvself it is putty hefty. We've got all the tackticks at our tongs' ends, but what we particly excel in is restin muskits. Our corpse will do its dooty. We go to the aid of Columby we fight for the stars! We'll be chopt into sassige meat before well exhibit our cote tales to the foe. We'll fight till there's nothin left of as but our little toes, and even they shall defiantly wiggle! "Ever of thee," A. Ward. A WAR MEETING. Our complaint just now is war meet in's. They've bin havin 'em bad in vans parts of our cheerful Republic, and nat'rally we caught 'em hero in Baldins ville. They broke out all over us. Posey County is aroused. I may say, indeed, that the pra-hay-ories of In jianny is on fire. Our big meetin came off the other night, and our old friend of the Bugle was elected Cheerman. The Bugle-Horn of Liberty is one of Baldvinsville's most emineutest institoo tions. The advertisements are well written, and the deaths and marriages are conducted with signal ability. The editor, Mr. Slinkers, is a polished, skar castic writer. Folks in these parts will not soon forget how he used up the Eagle of Freedom, a family journal pub lished at Snootville, near here. The controversy was about a plank road. "The road may be, as our contemporary says, a humbug; but our aunt ish't bald headed, and we. haven't got a one-eyed sister Sal! Wonder if the Editor of the Eagle of Freedom sees it?" This used up the Eagle of Freedom feller, be cause his aunt's head does present a skinned appearance, and his sister Sarah is very much one-eyed, For a genteel home-thrust, Mr. Slinkers has few ekals. Iwasfixin' myself up to attend the great war meetin', when my daughter entered with a yonng man who was evi jently from the city, and who wore long hair, and had a wild expression into his eye. In one hand he carried a port folio, and in his other paw claspt a bunch of small brushes. My daughter introduced him as Mr. Swetbikr, tha distinguished landscape painter from Philadelphy. "He is a artist, papa. Here to one of his master pieces a young mother aaa- iu' admirin'ly upon her first born." and my daughter showed me a really pretty picter done in ile. "Is it not beautiful, papa? He throws so much soul into his work." f. sj "Does he? does he?" said I "well, I reckon I d better hire him to whitewash our fence. I,t needs it. What will you charge, sir," I continued, "to throw some soul into my fence?" My daughter went out of the room in very short meeter, takin the artist with her, aud from the emphatical manner in which the dojor slam'd I concluded she was summat disgusted at my remarks. She closed the door, I may say. in italics. I went into the closet and larfed all alone by myself for over half an hour. I larfed so vi'lently that the preserve jars rattled like a cavalry omaeer's sword and things, which it aroused my Betsy, who came and opened the door pretty suddent. She seized lue by the few lonely hairs that still linger sadly upon my bare-footed hed, and dragged me out of the closet, incidentally obsarving that she didn't at WL perated m system, exactly see why she should be compelled, at her advanced stage of life, to open a assylum for sooperanooated idiots. My wife is one of the best wimin on this continent, altho' she isn't always gentle as a lamb, with mint sauce. No, not always. Bu1" to return to the war meet in'. It was lai ?ely attended. The Editor of tho Bugle arose and got up and said the fact could no longer be disguised that we were involved in a war. "Human gore," said he, "is no win". All able-bodied men should seize a musket and march to the tented field. I repeat it, sir, to the tented field." A voice "Why don't yon go yourself, yon old blow hard?" "I am identified, young man, with a Arkymedian leaver which moves the world." said the Editor, wiping his au burn brow with his left coat-tail: "I al lude, yonng man, to the press. Terms, two dollars a year, invariably in advance. Job printing executed with neatness and dispatch f And with this brilliant bust of elekance the Editor introduced Mr, J. Brutus Hinkins, who is sufferin from an attack of College in a naberin place. Mr. Hinkins said Washington was not safe. Who can save our national capeetle? "Dan Setchell," I said. "He can do it afternoons. Let him plant his light and airy form onto the Long Bridge, make faces at the hirelin foe, and they'll all skedaddle! Old Setch can do it" "I call the Napoleon of Showmen," said the Editor of the Bugle, "I call that Napoleonic man, whose life adorned with so many noble virtues, and whose giant mind lights up this warlike scene I call him to order. I will remark, in this connection, that the Editor of the Bugl does my job printing. "You," said Mr. Hinkins, "who live away from the busy haunts of men do not comprehend the magaitood of the crisis. The busy haunts of men is where people comprehend this crisis. We who live in the busy haunts of man, that is to say, we dwell, as it were, in the busy haunts of men." "I really trust that the gent'l'man will not fail to say suthin' about the busy haunts of men before he sits down," said I. "I claim the right to express my senti ments here," said Mr. Hinkins, in a slightly indignant tone, "and I shall brook no interruption, if I am a Soft more." "You couldn't be more soft, my young friend," I observed, whereupon there was cries of "Order! order!" "I regret I can't mingle in this strife personally," said the young man. " You migUt inlist as a liberty pole," said I in a silvery whisper. "But," he added. "I have a voice, and that voice is for war." The young man then closed his speech with some strikin and original remarks in relation to the star-spangled banner. He was followed by the village minister, a very worthy man indeed, but whose sermons have a tendency to make people sleep pretty in dustriously. "I am willin' to inlist for one," he said. "What's your weight, parson?" I asked. "A hundred and sixty pounds," he said. "Well, you can inlist as a hundred and sixty pounds of morphine, your dooty bein' to stand in the hospitals arter a bat tle, and preach while the surgical opera tions is bein' perform .d! Think how much you'd save the Govlment in mor phine." He didn't seem to see it; but he made a good speech, and the editor of the Bugle rose to read the resolutions, as follers: Resolved, That we view with anxiety the fact that there is now a war goin' on, and Resolved, That we believe Stonewall Jackson sympathizes with the secession movement, and that we hope the nine months men At this point he was interrupted by the sounds of silvery footsteps On the stairs, and a party of wimin, carryin' guns and led by Betsy Jane, who brandish'd a loud and rattlin' umbreller, burst into the room. "Here," cried I, "are some nine-months wimin!" "Mrs. Ward," said the editor of the Bugle "Mrs. Ward and ladies, what means this extr ord'n'ry demonstration?" "It means," said that remarkable fe male, "that yon men air makin fools of yourselves. You are willin' to talk and urge others to go to the wars, but yon don't go to the wars yourselves. War meetin's is very nice in their way. but they don't keep Stonewall Jackson from comin' over to Maryland and help- . ' r. . 1 . . . . J. 1 M : i i .

Deeply grateful for the onex pected honor thus conferred npon me I shall feel compeld to resign the position in favor of sum more worthy person. Mod esty is what ails me. 1 meanter-say, I shall hav to resign if I'm drafted every wheres I've bin inrold. I must now, f urrinstuns, be inrold in up ards of 200 diiTerent towns. If I'd kept on travelin' 1 should hav eventooaly be cum a Brigade, in which case 1 could have held a meetin' and elect&j myself Brigadeer-ginral quite unanimiss. 1 hadn't no idea there was so many of me before. But, serisly, I concluded to stop exhibitin'. and made tracks for Baldins ville My only daughter threw herself onto my boosnm, and said. "It is me faytherl 1 thank the Gods." She reads the Ledger. "Tip us yer bunch of fives, old faker!" said Artemus, Jr. He reads the Clipper. My wife was to the so win' circle. I knew she and the wimin folks was havin' a pleasant time alanderin' the females of the other bo win' circle (which likewise met that arternoon. and was doubtless enjoyin luasrsaives eKaiiy wen in sun derm' the fust named circle), and I didn't send for her. I alius Take to see people 1 enjoy theirselves. My son OsauSTUS was playin' onto a floot Orgustus is a ethereal cuss. The twins was bildin' cob-houses in a corner of the kitchen. I It'll cost some postage stamps to raise this fam'ly, and yet t 'ud go hard with the old man to lose any lamb of the ! flock. An old bachelor is a poor critter. Ha ' may have hearn the skylark or (what's I nearly the same thing) Miss Kellogg and Cablotty Patti sing; he may have j hearn Olk Bull fiddle, and all the Dod ' worths toot, an' yet he don't know nothin' about music the. real, ginuine thing the music of the laughter of happy, well fed children! And yon may ax the father of snch children home to dinner, feelin' werry sure there'll be no spoons missin' when he goes away. Sich fathers never drop tin five-cent pieces into the contribution box, nor palm shoe pegs off onto blind hosses for oats, nor skedaddle to British sale when their country is in danger nor do any thing which is really mean. I don't mean to intimate that the old bachelor is up to little games of this sort not at all but 1 repeat, he's a poor critter. He don't live here only stays. He ought to 'pologize, on behalf of his parients, for bein' here at all. The happy marrid man dies in good stile at home, sur rounded by his weeping wife and chil dren. The old bachelor don't die at all he sort of rots away, like a polly wog's tail My townsmen were sort o' demoral ized. There was a evident desine to evade the Draft, as 1 observed with sor- rer. and patnusm was below far ana Mar, too. A jew desprit. j I hadn't no sooner sot down on the piazzy of the tavrun than 1 saw sixteen solitary hoss men, ridin' four abreast, wending their way up the street. "What's them? Is itcavilry?" 'That," said the landlord, "is the stage. Sixteen able-bodied citizens has lately bo' t the stage line 'tween here and Scotsbnrg. That's them. They're Stage drivers. Stage-drivers is exempt P 1 saw that each stage-driver carried a letter in his left hand. "The mail is heavy today," said the landlord. "Gin'rally they don't have more'n half a dozen letters 'tween 'em. Today they've got one apiece! Bile my lights and liver!" "And the passengers?" "There ain't any, skacely now-days," said the landlord, "and what few there is very much prefer to walk, the roads is bo rough." "And how ist with you?" I inquired of the editor of the Bugle-Horu of Liberty, who sot near me. "I can't go," he sed, shakin' his head in a wise way. "Ordinarily I should de light to wade in gore, but my bleedin' country bids me stay at home. It is im peratively necessary that I remain here for the purpose of announcin' from week to week that our Gov' incut is about to take vigorous measures to put down the rebellion!" 1 strolled into the village oyster sa loon, where I found Dr. Schwazey, a leadin' citizen, in a state of mind which showed that he'd bin histin' in more'n his share of pizeu. "Hello, old -Beeswax," he bellered how's yer grandmams? When you goin' to feed your stuffed animils?" "What's the matter with the eminent physician?" I pleasantly inquired. "This." he said, "this is what's thti matter. I'm a habitooal drunkard! I'm exempt!" "Jes' so." "Do you see them beans, old man?" and he pinted to a plate before him. "Do you sec 'em?" "I do. They are a cheerful fruit when used tempritly." "Well." said he, "I hain't eat any thing since last week. 1 eat beans now because I eat beans then. I never mix my vittles!" "It's quite proper you should eat a lit tle suthin' once in a while," I said. "It's a good idee ' to occasionally instruct the stummick that it mustn't depend excloo sively on ticker for its sustainance." "A blessin'," he cried; "a blessin' onto the hed of the man what in wen ted beans. A blessin' onto his hed!" "Which his name is Gilson! He's a first family of Bostin," said 1. This is a specimen of how things was goin' in my place of residence. A few were true blue. The school master was among 'em. He greeted me warmlv. He said I was welkimto those shores. He said 1 had a massiv mind. It was gratifyin', he said, to see that great intelleck stalkin' in their midst onct more. I have before had occasion to notice this schoolmaster. He is evi dently a young man of far more than ord'nary talents. The schoolmaster proposed we should git up a mass meetin'. The meetin' was largely attended. We held it in the open air round a roarin' bonfire. The schoolmaster was the first orator. He's pretty good on the speak. He also writes well, his composition bein' seldom marred by ingrammaticisms. He said this inactivity surprised him. "What do you expect will come of this kind of doin's? Nihil fir "Hooray for Nihil!" I interrupted. "Fellow-citizens, let's giv three cheers for Nihil, the man who fit!" The schoolmaster turned a little red, but repeated "Nihil fit" "Exactly." I said. "Nihil fit. He wasn't a strategy feller." "Our venerable friend," said the schoolmaster, smiling pleasantly, "isn't posted in Virgil." "No, I don't know him. But if he's a able-bodied man he must stand his little draft." The schoolmaster wound up in elo quent style, and the subscriber took the stand. I said the crisis had not only cum it self, but it had brought all its relations. It has enm, I said, with a evident inten tion of makin' us a good long visit. It's goin' to take off its things and stop with us. My wife says so too. This is a good war. For those who like this war, it's just snch a kind of war as they like. I'll bet ye. My wife says so too. If the Federal army succeeds in takin' Wash ington, and they seem to be advancin' that way pretty often, I shall say it is strategy, and Washington will be safe And that noble banner, as it were that banner, aa it were will be a emblem, or rather, I should say. that noble banner as it were. My wife says so too. fl got a little mixed up here, but they didn't notice it Keep mum.J Feller citizens, it will be a proud day for this Republic when Wash ington is safe. My wife says so too. The editor of the Bugle-Horn of Lib erty here arose and said: "I do not wish to interrupt the gentleman, but a im portant despatch has just bin received at the telegraph office here. I will read it It is as follows: Oov'ment is about to take vigorous measures to put down the rebellion Loud applause. J That, said I, is cheering. That's sooth ing. And Washington will be safe Sensation. Philadelphia is safe Gen. Patterson's in Philadelphia. But my heart bleeds partic ly for Washington. My wife says so too. There's money enough. No trouble about money. They've got a lot of first class bank-note engravers at Washing ton (which place, I regret to say, is by no means safe) who turn out two or three cords ot money a day good money, too. Goes well. These bank-note engravers made good wages. I expect they lay up property. They are full of Union senti ment. There is considerable Union sen timent in Virginny, more especially among the honest farmers of the Shen andoah valley. My wife says so too. Then it isn't money we want. But we do want men, and we must have them. We must carry a whirlwind of fire among the foe. We must crush the un grateful rebels who are poundin' the Goddess of Liberty over the head with sinner-shots, and stabbin' her with stolen knives! We must lick 'em quick. We must introduce a large number of first class funerals among the people of the South. Betsy says so too. This war hain't been too well man aged. We all know that What then? We are all in the same boat if the boat goes down, we go down with her. Hence we must all fight. It ain't no use to talk now about who caused the war. That's played out. The war is upon us upon us all and we must all fight. We can't "reason" the matter with the foe. When, in the broad glare of the noon day sun, a speckled "jackass boldly and maliciously kicks over a peanut-stand do we "reason" with him? I guess not. And why "reason" with those other Southern people who are trying to kick over the Republic? Betsy, my wife, says so too. The meeting broke up with enthusi asm. We shant draft in Baldinsville if we can help it. Au Indian Whom the Prince Befriended. "Orouligatcklia, M. D., Toronto," was written on the register at the Grand Pa cific hotel by a -good looking, broad shouldered sixjooter. The guest is an Indian who in his youth was chief of a tribe of Mohawks. The Prince of Wales when he visited Canada was favorably impressed with the dusky young chief, and after some little urging the latter consented to go England to be educated at the expense of his royal highness. He graduated at Oxford and subsequently took a medical degree in a school in Lon don. Since that time he has practiced in Toronto. He is polished and refined in hit; manners. Chicago Tribune.
