FIRE L THE HEAR,
OR BILL JONES AMONG THE GIRLS.
j
The following story contributed by a
country friend to the New Orleans Delta,
is too good to be lost, "though." says the
Delta '"its raciness may not accord with
the tastes of the Miss Nannyites, who df ess
the legs of their tables in frilled; pan'taletts
and faint over a naked cherub"
Old Squire Parish was an hospitable
old soul. Every Friday evening it was
the delight of the girls of tfiej Academy,
and the boys of the schools and College,
to go out to tild Squire parish's farm, a
bout six milesfrom town and stroll in the
woods, bathe in the creeJ, search the or
chards and hen-nests, and! turn every thing
about the premises up side down. And
old Squire Parish would sit in the chim
ney corner, pipe in moujh, and tell them
stories about-the first settlement of the
country, and how ''Old Hickory" whipped
the Indians lor the old Squire had been
in Jackson's army and never let the hoys
go off without at least one story about
the "old man," asthe pld man was delight
ed to call the General.
.
One Saturday, about the middle of the
afternoon, Bill Jones, a wild, harum sca
rum young fellow ofsixteen summers, rode
up to the Squire's door and hailed the
house. The summons was answered T)y
that black oung rascal, Josh, who told
Jones that the boys were gone a squirrel
hunting. .
"But you better believe Alassa Bill," con
tinued Josh, " that the girls is carry in on
high. Why Massa Bill, you can hear 'em
squealin, clean up here."
Jones soon learned that the girls had
gone to their usual bathjng place which
was aUthe loot of a Ush nrecioice. and
j only approached on that (side by a solita
ry foot path and that was; guarded by 'Di
nah.' On the other side of the creek lay
a broad sand-bank so that no one could
approach it without being seen.
Jones had been to thequire's houserso
often that he knew his stories " bv heart,"
and it would be almost impossible to find
the boys in the woods, so he determined
to have some fun out of t le girls. About
a quarter of a mile up thq creek lived "old
Aunt Judy," and there Jones and his at
tendant Josh, immedia ely proceeded.
While Josh Went to the Sold woman and
for a fo'pencerpurcbased jhe largest gourd
in her possession. Jones slipped behind the
garden, threw off his clothes, and cutting

gourd did not remain unnoticed in the wa

up to it, seized it and with a little resist

girisnow.lieisurely qressed themselves,
and; each provided herself with a trim
birch or willow rod, and without further
ceremony, began to apply them to the
back, sides, and legs of poor Jones.
Jones twisted, and Joties writhed ; he
begged and he pfayefj ; but in vain. His
captors knew no pity junti! their arms were
fatigued and their, roils flayed to ribbons.
Alas for poor Jones be was not yet to
escape. His tormentors provided them
selves with new instruments, and placed
themselves in a row along the footpath
from Jones's tree to the waters edge, andon
the rock from which !he was to plunge was

known as "Jones's jLeap."
Without stopping to see any more of his
fair friends. Jones hastened to Aunt Judy's
cottage, dressed himself, gave. Josh a most
thorough kicking, borrowed a sheep-skin
from old Aunt Judyj and mounted his horse
and rode slowly into town and from that
day to this, Bill Jones has never showed
