It ued to be the uyinsr in the army: 'VIhmi a soldier is ridinr a IiokS and the hos ply, tin4 soldier is played." Wlten my muU pltyedHtt after all all-day's ride thixntgh a Mis souri snow-storm 1 dropped off into snow x fot deep and more comitii?, and felt a bit discouraged. It was in a back county, if there are any bnck counties in that state, and the settlers had located their cabins just six miles apart to a rod. When 1 set out to walk, and pull the mule to boot, he looked upat the sky, abound at the woods, and keeled over in despair. I was trudgiujr along in the mhiw over my boot-tops, thiukinr how much easier it was to drown than to freeze to death, when the sound of a fiddle reached me between the suowflakes, and 1 discovered that I had readied a six-mile cabin. "Come in, old hoss!'' sang1 out a voice as I fell against the floor. When 1 opened it I was in a room about sixteen feet square the only one in the house. The big fireplace gave light, aud the furniture was home-made. A gaunt, Jong-haired pioneer sat on a shake-down bed, playing the fiddh-; a gaunt, slim woman was dancintr in the center of the floor, aud several children were scattered around as spectators. "Keep it up,ole woman Muven ing stranger; be through in a mini:; find a cheer go in for all jyer worth. Mary!" called the fid - dler, as I shut the door behind me. ' As 1 walked to- the fire one of! the children wheeled up a block of wood, and the father remarked: "Powerful storm outside, stran ger keep tliem feet gwine, old lady you children wipe off yonr mouths and sing with me: I wa forty wiles from Pike. Ami the hhmI whs fail ot hw. Ami tlie a iml ah yettiji" renly Fur to hump ttAHf ihmIMow. 'Faster now change off kick higher up with them lioofs round "with ye hoe er down ladies change that's, ail stranger, howdy!" I was made at home. "Wall, now, but this seems to be the hand if Providence," said the old man as I drew up to the table. "Here ye are, snowed, in. and here we are chuck full of per vishums and happiness, and to morrow is Christmas. Stranger, I'll show ye more high steps, more hoots and veils, more music and feastiu1, and daiicin. andgittiif up sta'rs to-morrow than ve ever saw- in all yer bom days! 01c woman, if this hain't the Lord's iloiifsthen I'm a petrified reptile, and never rot relisrion." "Den, yer right!" added the wife. as she poured out another cup of burnt-corn coffee. "We is a hos- pit-able family. When vcv can't whoop 'er up fur a stranger on Thanksirivinc or Christmas or New Year's nobody else need try.' "Now, then, ye kin see that we hain't bilin rich. Here's two btds, and nine of us. Me and the old woman take one, you take t'other, and if the children can't keep warm afore the lire I'll liven their blood with a trad.

We had cam meat, coi'ii dixlgers, apple suuee and cofiee for break fast. Seats were found for the pioneer and myself, and the moth- er and children stood up. There was a long and embarrassing pause .ftor e were nil muly, and finally ,h man h1: Stranger, 1 was givin ye :i, chance to throw yerself on a bless - in , but ye flu in t tumble. Uld woman, reel off sunthin1 purty." She closed her eyes and uttered the following as if she had repent ed it a thousand times: "Xow 1 'lav tne down to sleep, aud bless . ..." this meat, and bread, and sass. j We are thankful for what we've got, and not jealous of our betters. 3 ' . Keep us in jood health, make , w , . coons plenty, and cause us to es- cape the itch and measles. Amen!" When the table had been cleared m away the pioneer and wik held a consultation in a corner, and when it ended the man approached and asked: 4,Siranger, are ye willin to help us make this a whoopin old day." "Yes. 'Good! As a family we are 09 per cent on a rough and tumble. I'm about twice yer size and heft, and it wouldn't be a fa'r show, but the old woman is a pretty eveir match, and she's just achiu' to lay ve on ver back!" "J3ut I never . wrestled with a woman in my life." "Well, it's a good time to begin. She's wiry and quick, and she'll lay ye if she can. Stand right up, stranger, aud do yer level best, to oblige me.' I obliged. TIk; situation was new and novel, and in twenty sec onds I was thrown over one of the shake-downs with a crash tliat jarred the house. The woman cracked her heels together and crowed lustily. the children laughed and the pioneer helped me up with the explanatien: "Stranger she's practiced this fur ten years, and she'll lay down any man in this country 'cept me. 1 knowed ho."" it would be, but am much obleeircd for vour great kindness. The hull fam'Iy will now swarm for their paternal dad." I retreated to a corner, and the old, woman and her six children made a rush for the father. They were seven to one. They attacked him on all sides with great vigor, and were picked up and Hung ten feet witliQut being a bit discour aged. They finally got him foul and brought him down, and as he lay on his back he ebserved: "Children you may feel proud over this. It shows that you are healthy and full o' pluck, and that j the itch has no bizness in a family like this." We had hickory nuts, popcorn, cider and apple for lunch, and at dinner we had bear meat, pumpkin pie, roast woodchuck, apple butter and gingerbread. After the meal a half-tame benr, about a year old, was brought in, the floor cleared, and a grand hugging, match took nlucc. The old woman led off. in token that his ril)S VOiM stand IIO ,nore.
