J'P,u never dijlseethey : looked 'come kiss oae' aj! overj tbeir eyes lookedi like diamonds; their waisis drawn tothe size of a pipe-stem, and caade to look like they were undergoing" regular cut-iHig-into- operation by- tyin a string tight round 'em- and their bosorns O, Lordy ! all covered up in laces and muslins; they rose, then rose again, like 0 1 1 don't know what it was like, exceptin the breath n' of a snowy while goose, chucked, in a tight b;rg, with its breast just out ! i After the gals iind youngsters had walk-. d round and. round for a consiilerable spell, e he. music struck up and such music! It was a big horn and a little horn, a big flute md a little flute, a big fiddle and a little fiddle, and such squeakm, bellowin', groan in I never heard before; it was like all the rats, pigs, and frogs in Christendom had concluded to sing together They call "it a German Poker. I 'sposc it was made by some of them Cincinnati Germans, in imitation of the Vqualin' at a pork packery, and I guess it . was a pretty good imita tion." r So soon as the music struck up such a sightl The fellers caught the gals , right round the waisl with one hand, and pulled hem right smack up in kissiu order, with ihe gals, bosoms agin their bosoms, and the gals' chins resfin' on the fellers' shoulders. At this, the gals begtjn to sorter jump and caper, like they were agoing to push them away but thf y fillers just caught" hold of - the other hand and held it off, and began to jump and caper too, just like the gals. 1 swon upon a stack of bibles you never seed such a sight f There was. some two dozen gals he d light in the arms of them fellers they a rarin' and jumpin' and push in' 'eia backwards over the room, (4s I . thought, tryin' lo get away from them.) and the fellers holdiu' onto 'era tighter; and hey squeezed the gals, till at last I begun to think the thing was b?ing carried too fuT for fun. f I was a little green in these matters; and seem the eals tryiu' harder and harder to get away, as I thought, and the fellers holdin' tighter and tighter, it was - very natural that I should take the gal part. So my dander kept a risin' higher and higher, till I thought my biler would bust unless 1 let out some'steara. . 1 bounc ed smack into the middle of the room. 'Thunder and lighting! every-body come - here witn shot-guns.svSiSbooters.and butch er knives !'- bawled I at the top of my voice; 'for I will be shot if any dod-blasted, long bearded fellers shall impose on gals that r way wr.ere l am r and i was just go- mg W pitch info ein promiscuously, when my merchant caught me by the arm, and Siiid, .'Stop, Ben.' 'I'll be cussed, says I, if I will see the wimmin folks imposed on! Look what them fellers are dour, and how hard the gals are rarin an pitchin to get away from 'em ! Do 'OU 'spose l can stand still as a mile post and see gals suffer so? Look P savs I, Hhere is a gal almost bro ken down, ready to give up to thai 'rango- tang ol a feller Yonder is another so faint her head has fallen on the bosom of the monster ! 1 tell you I was ashy; I felt like 1 could jump into, them like a catamount into a pis pen. Vhen I looked into my merchant's face, I thought he would have busted. He laft - and laftr and squatted down, and laft. Whv,' says bt, 'Ben, that is nothinjr but the the' red war walt2 they are dancin and them gals aim tryin' to get away from them fellers they are only caperin' to make the. fellers hold em tighter, kase they like it. The more the gals caper,' the tighterf"hey wisti to be squeezed. As- to layin their heads on the fellers' bosoms, that's very common m this city.. '; They expect to be married some of these days, and they want 10 be accustomed to it, so they won't be a blushirt and turning pale when the parson . tells the groom to salute the bride. There is nothing like being used to such things.' - lYoix may take my - bat,' says I td - my merchant. 'I was tuck in that ' time-' 1 tell you though, it was the first time I ever seed th like before. 1 have seen the In dian bug and the Congo dance, but I tell yoa this red war' waltz knocks the hat crown out of everything 1 ever seed. - Arter I had got " out of the way, and everything commenced goin' on again, the . music got faster and faster oh, it was as fast ami -furious -as a northwester I rThe gals rared agin', the fcllersliugged tighter, and, the- music makers puffed out a blowin' Tben the gads and fellers spurt round like co irlany.tops run mad. .The fellers leaned back, and the gals leaned, to em; the gals' 'tine frocks sailed out and popped into the air on a windy day, '"the fellera coat tails stood out k straight that an egg would not have, rolled off; tbeir faces were as fix ed and as serious as a sarment. ' Around they went; it makes me dizzy tv think of . it., , iop went the coat tails.-,crasn went the music, and- pitty-patty, rump-dumple ae-tnurnp went the feet or alt tsy and by. ns beautiful n. craft as ever you seed in the shape of a. woman, lavin close up to a Jong bean-pole looking feller, came sailin" at the rale of fifteen knots an hour dawn our wy.
