THE GOOD WIFE AT SANDY
RIVER.
The characteristics of s portion of tbe pop
ulation of Virginia areNllustrated by an anee
dote told by a Methodist eireoit preacher,
who not long since called at a house near
tbe head water of Sandy river, to stay sll
nigh. Lvery body knows the ehsrsctsr
of the citzens of this region of this country
and that it has been, and for years to come
will continue to be, on account of its moun
tain fastness, the homeof the most ignoisnt
and debased population, I Our parson, a
man of great simplicity of character, on
entering found four men seated on the floor
playing cards. These men did not seem
lo notice hie arri vLnd he pa aed to where
the wife of the proprietor was, who . very
soon engaged bun in conversation. Amon
other questions she asked; - s
"What might be your business in these
parts, sirangerl'
'I am hunting ihe lost sheep of the
Honse of Israel," replied the parson
V "Old man! old. man!" cried ihe woman
to her husband, "old man, I say, I'll bet
any thing that old ram that was here to'lbet
day, blongs to this here man,. ,.
The minister was forced to explain;
whereupon, eazioe unoa him with 4 nl air
of enriosity and astonishment, she rose to
ner reel ana exciairoeu .
'A preacher! Well, ye're the first criltei
of that sort ever een in these parts afore;
but may be you'd like adram, stranger.' -
'No madam, I never drink; ' ,
Never dtinkl Well, lalljl'V-r n
The men during the dUhigue continued
their came at cards; but as if struck with
the impropriety of such conduct before a
minister of the gospel (a species which she
had heard of but had never seen.) the wo
man addressed the card players with tlie air
of one accustomed to command.
Ijook here men! aint you a nice set,
to let a preacher come here and catch you
laying cards! Move, every one nl you, or
'II break this l ine knot over yoor heads '
It is hardly ntn sary to add that the room
was speeedily elcarrd. I, ,. --.' s w-.n.

a sample of the character of the . settlers of
