that we hear continually. It affects us
worse than an attack of chills and fever
to have some one, when we remark that
wo walk four miles on an average, answer,
with the complacence which murks the
consciousness of getting oil' a good joke,
that we are mistaken, that we do not

There is the Huso Rail saw which is re
peated an indellnule number of times each
season; when a striker bats several fouls

laugh at his own sharpness, yells " You
must have hud fowl for dinner!" Then
there are the fire miws, and the wedding
saws, the boarding house saws and others
too numerous to mention And the atro

retained our composure tolerably until

was too much for us; uttering a shriek
like a wild unearthly wail of a six months
shout under a rail fence, und pointing
our finger at the legend on the wall, like
a spirit from the realms of the dead, we
vanished; while the scornful laugh of
the depraved Soph floated to our ears
like the sonorous music of the hoarse
mule upon the cold still air of un Autumue
eve.
