AN HOUR AT UNCLE SAM'S
"Hurrah. John! are you going to
Uncle Sam's to-night 2" said Deacon
Peck to me, one day, as iie was driving
the old deacon's horse,1 like nothing.
None of your business," said I, and
by the hokies, if Je didnit bring the old
deacon s critter up to a dead stump, then
there's none o' me.
"Jump in John,' said he, Tm
there myself, I guess."
going
But darn ye, Deacon" says I, 'yoa
know I aim fixed for nothing."
Rot ye, John, that's nothing ; jump
in," says he, taking hold of my coat col
lar, and in 1 went kerchunk. How the
dust flew as we skimmed over the earth
like real tearers with a skyrocket at our
tail. j ' '
"Deacou. you're fixed," says I, 'how
d'ye know 1 was going J"
"Aint I fixed ' Fays he.
-Whv ?" says I.
"Twig my red jvest," says ho.
'D6-you know! Jane Germond V say&
I. "Deuced pretty girl, aint she?"
"Go larng I" says deacon, giving the
old horse an uninercilul switch, at the
same time blushing tip to the ears.
Think' 1, there's puddin a biiin now,
1 know.
Bime by, we bfoaght up at Uncle
Satns's ail staridih.jlike. an empty. bag
full o' nothing; land I goes pop into
Uncie Sam's parlor, close along side Al
raina.
"Mina, how. del you do?" says I: but
I couldn't get ahead talking with her;
she blushed so like a blue carrot Thinks
I, if Phebe washre now, should'tit br
here doin notbin. ! Pretty soon, in came
Phebe and John, :and a whole lot o'gals
and fellers a pourin in, by jingo 1 I never
saw the like afore . And there was I a
setting right ln-tbe wrong place, for the
gals seemed to take a terrible likin to thai
room, some how or other. By jolly, I
guess it was confounded warm, for I kind
o' sweated as if not h in ailed me. But the
cat was soon let out o' the bag: for. soon
in come Phebe, lookin right at mc as
though I warnt there. . , . -4
"Mr. Bancus," says she, "wont you be
kind o good enough to walk in the other
room." .
Confound itl thinks I, you got another
room 7 However, ;I thought it best to do
that which was proper, so says 1, "With
pleasure, ma'aru"! .
After chattin. a little white, in tother
rot:i, supper was got ready, and I took
my stand behind the door, so as to peep
at the gals as theyi went out of one rooru
into another. Bime by I saw Jane Ger
mond. '
"Hoorah, Deacon " says I, "Lknow a
thing or two." j
But while I was. lookin, somebody
went and ihoved tHe door back, and squ it
me clean up in the corner, Thinks I,
this is a hard case j for 1 heard the knives
'arv! forks a ratilrin, and smelt the vittles,
and thought of Jany. Bet as for pushin
the door to, and havin ail the gaU sihrin
at me, I tell you (I'd no notion. 'Bime
by somebody said, S better push, the door
too." Zourfds! thinks-1. Slam went the
door. Boo! says; I, as every bod) cri
ed out. "Why, M j. Bancus I" and , then
opened their mouths wide enough to swal
low a haymow, j' j- i
But after a while. I got comfortably
seated at the table,! close between Phebe
and Jane Germond, with n piece of pun-
kin pie in one hand, and Phebe's band iii
tother, and just as I was going to ask
rbebe if she loved' apple sauce, in came
Deacon Peck with his white pantaloons
all daubed over with mud.' By the snakes.
it set me a laughin so,- right afore Jane
Germond too, that I dropi a great gob of
punkin right smack 1 into Jane's new
gwn. And then I sich a time ' Jane jump
ed up. Deacon looked blue, Phebe blush
ed, and I sneaked but i I swowl if I aint
the unluckiert chap that ever breathed ;
(or 1 run lato Uncle Sara s cupboard, so s
to get out of the way, and got right into
one of aunt Germond 8 large custard. pud
amgs,- vn:cn i took to be a inree-ieggca
J. - r
stool ; and by the hokies ! as though. that
warnt enough, just ns I was tbinkin about
bein oflC all the gals came pourin out of
that room, so that I had to stick to the
puddin, and hold j on j to the door pretty
dam'd tight Bat, thinks I, sposin they
come and find me here in'tbe cupboard.
what II Phebe say 1, So I mustered around.

The Court of Sessions has been cccu'
pied for the last three .days in the trial of
the Rf v. Joseph Carter, indicted for aa
aggravated assault and battery upon Mrs.
Pheason Griffin. The principal witness
against the accused was Mrs. Griffin her
self, whose examination "occupied nearly
hhe whole of Wednesday. In th'coarse
of th- investigation many wilneses were
introduced on the part of the defence, tbief
ly for the purpose of impeqrhing her
character. The case was very ably ar
gued, both for the prosecution and the de
fence, and was subrarird to-tbe jgrv yes
terday, afternoonon a charge from Recor
der Uikrr.. 'After a. short deliberation
they.carhe into'Conrr, and recdercil a ver

character as to forbid their insertion in
