bhuued tough. We did to read, an' mOhin' to do when w waru'l wnrldn' but to play keerda at drink whisky, au' ao we nutter slid dunhill intu cuincdm—a, and gut to bu "bunt the hardoat lot ever a fellet "But one day 'long in ajiring, 'buut Jour yearn ago, a feller cumu 'lung over thar huUiu' luuetin'nan’ Sundav schooU. ■When Ik- ftbl struck Hunethief Pans we didn't take much tv ’im. an - some o' the fellen talked right smart 'bout giviu' 'im uiiten the camp, an' I reckon they'd a done it but for a loetle <Titrnmntanco whnt hajipeneil jest then. “Y'on nee old Shorty Brown wnx the leader in the camp, an' every feller swore by him through thick an' thin. Shorty wiu powerfal wicki-,1 an’ could out cuss » duxi-u common feBers, hut ho hail a heart in him bigger'n a pnnkin an Y»d do anything to help the boy* out. "Wal, haul the time they wax talkin'’ o' tarrin the jireachor Shorty hegot hurt in the mine, an fer a week wux J»werful bail off. We got ter thinldn’Iii-'d reached tbe-end o' his leed an' that he'd hev ter crota over the range. Shorty’ll been the wust feller in the camp agin the preacher and it wnx him that jirojused the tar and feathers, so when he got hurt the others dropjx-d the matter, an wail oil fer him to git well if he wnx a goin’ to. ••We wux wurkin' like cve'thing then to git a new mine ojienod, an' we didn't hev much chance to look after Shorty-, so we had to leave ’im to git Tong by hisself. That preacher, ho noc how it wnx, an' blame my skin if he didn't jest go light down to Shorty's cabin, an' fling off his coat an' turn tinss. An' he stared by Shorty jest like a mother, an’ waited on 'im an' give Tin medicine till hepnllod through all rigiit an' got well. After tlat we all thought a good deal more of the jireacher ail' as for Shorty —wal, 1 reckon he'd maile short o' anybody who'd a said a word agin him. Shorty wasn't a man to go back on a friend, an' ho never forgot ,n favor. As noon aa Shorty was able to git aliont ho come* down to the saloou whar we usually round o' night*, an* he says: ” the parson's a goin' to preach down at my cabin tonight, an' I want ever last one o' ye to come.' "YVa’u't none of u* hankerin'to go, but we could tell by the way Shorty ■poke that he wux in dead earnest 'bout it, an' wo kuowed it wouldn't be extry healthy to refuse, no we agreed to come. “ 'An' I want you to b'ar in min', says Shorty, ‘that the jireacher'* my friend, an - tlat he'* got to he treated white. I want you feller* to behave an' act decent. an' if any galoot disturbs the meetin', blamed if I don't pnt a hole through 'im on the spot.' "Shorty'd a done it, too, an’ we kuowed it. so yon may jeat bet yer last dollar that we wux a moughty well be' laved congregation that night a* we squatted agin the wall o' Shorty'* cabin an' listened to the naraiont. “At fust 1 didn't take no Bjjecial intercut in what the jireacher said, an' reckon none o' the others didn't neither, but after he'd talked on 4, while he kinder warmed up to business, an - fer "bout a hour he talked powerful eloquent, shore, an' the way he rijijied them old rascal* away back ther' to Jcnualem wnx a caution. Before he'd gone very far wi all gut jmwerful interested, an' could i listened a hemji longer if he’d a kep' on. “After that we tuck to goin* tomeetin reglar, an' afore many night* we got ti lookin' forrard through the day, an feclin' sorter anxious to hev night cotn> an' with it another sarinonL Shorty alien net up in front along o' the jireacher, an' sometimes when I looked up thar an’ ace him so solemn like an' remembered how lie list to cuss it wux "bout all 1 could do to keep from laughin'

right onL

'Wal, the mejgin's kep on fer a week, then one night the preacher said he irt to hev a Sunday school. Shorty said •Certainly,’ an' the rest uv up agreed, because wo thought it ’ud save trouble. You see Shorty had gqt mouty pious,.but the way he fingered them shootiu* irons o' hia’n made ' lectio juboua nr Yin, an' we didn't know bat'ho would break out an’ shoot some ur us 'fore he kuowed what he wux "bout. "So the next Sunday we met at Shorty 1 * cabin to git up a Sunday school. Fust the preacher jirayed an' sung, then be read a chapter Judas betrayin’ his master all you know, an' then he axed sorter give our notions of .it waitin' awhile, an' nobody else not gettin’ np, Shorty rose an" said: •* 'Fellers, this yere'i ;* new lay to me, an' it oomes a bit awk'erd, an’ I mayn't be able to aay nothin' o' any count, bnt I’m blamed If I dou't feel like somebody ort to make a few remarks, an' I'm willin' to wag my chin fer all ther js In it. The joreou- wants our notions o' this jere whnt he jest road, an’ fer my part I faain't back'ard 'bout girin' mine. In tbe.fi*at pl*oe I think them tharjswp

J ust you rise uji tlar an' m I your indulh a goin", will •Stmnjiy see that lie war in fer it. so he crawled nji, an' loanin' agin the wall with his hands ran down in his jmckcl*

he said:

" •FeHers, I'm with the jarson. I m •n favor o' this yere Sunday whool. 1 think that they Judas chap what j in non read Tsui I wux a go} darned scamp, an* I'm agin Ym. Them's my notion*.' "With that Stumpy slid down the wall to the floor, an' the jianon talked a little mo

went away, an we wnx left to git along without 'im. But Shorty came out mouty strong theti, an' YoWt-d he could run the instertution, an' he’did. too, an' nadc a success of it, you kin just bet. i« Shorty's In-ail fer takin' a hat he took hold on. 'Peared like when be set in to do a thing be jest put Ids whole mind to it, an' lie wasn't satisfied less he wux doin' his level lost. That's the way ho wux Tout that Sunday school, an' every Sunday- lie. wux promptly on hand, an' he see to it tlat every dopgoned one of ns wnx ther, too. I never sis' rich a change in nobody notlier as there wnx in Shorty. He quit ensuin' an' fightin', and ho never jiertended to go 'bout the sToon no inor'u if thar hadn't been rich a thing. When he wasn't at work he wux readin' the Bible, an' lots o' times be would set fer boors a ringin' thfm old chnncs, and fer makin' music ho wasn't to be snuffled at,

Icrnine tell ye.

"Wal, we got Tong fust rate with that thar Sunday school, and ever Sunday Shorty'd i-xjilain to us "bout them Scripturs. and he'd alius give flat Our Judas feller a gouge 'fore he quit. Shorty never could b'ar a sneak, an' 1 reckon that Judas wux os low down an' miserable a sneak as ever lived, jedgin' from

what I've heerd 'bout ‘im.

"One Sunday, Tong two or three mouth* alter tile jireaelier left. Shorty *ot uji after the Sunday school business was done ah' he says, 'Fellers, 'cordin' to my way o' readin' this yere Scripture I Agger out that we ot tfrbe bajitixcd, an’ this book knows ita business, so I reckon well go down to the crick right now “Stumpy hojped np to orgy the question an' come out agin lujitixen, but Shorty shot 'em uji iu short order an' carth-d fhe pint his own way.

No Hick Comedy .Nowaday*. This generation knows almost nothing by slag,- exjicrience of jrare high, comedy except in the way of revival. What tjnder the name of comedy has occasionally na on our English stage is a. jirudncliuu which has somewhat rtwebed upward to tragedy or stretched downward to farce, or, more often, has bur- . •rowed the fin* feathers of melodrama. fuller modern comedy, such as Moliere initiated, and eveh our best restoration comedy jdaywrights have but jioorly imitated, from him, and such as or twice that greatret comedy geof this century, Labicbe. .has attemjrted in an age that asked for lower things, is an unknown thing now on the

London stage.

, Now this tiney slid fnBer comedy that we know not is mure than a mere rejavseuDition >if life, or even an interpretation of it. It is a larger thing altogether, for, first, it must contain some - element of not unkindly satire, with keen wit and broad humor, or it is no true comedy. Then, too, nature is not to lie merely photograjihed, but a mirror is to be held np to ivflcet the likeneos and at times the antics of human nature: but it most be a magic mirror.-that shall have just such a jiower of artful distortion in it as that we shall never ourselves lie hurt to think we jx-rreive our own lineament* disfigured or our own motions mocked. Finally, there must be some sort of electrieism—a jacking out of the salient jioints of human nature, nn intemdficatioq and an enhancement. It is clear there must lie this, for the realism loving audieqi-cs cfluld not stand the jointless ■and long winded talk of ordinary men and women. -Fortnightly Review.
