"NOT YET."
Two men were travelling in one of the hill counties of Kentucky not long ago. They had been driving for two hours without encountering i» human being, when they came in sight of a cabin in a clearing. It was very still. The logs lay, sleeping in the sun, the thin mule gazed round and round in a great circle, and one lean, lank man reclined against a tree and let time roll by. » "'Wonder if he can speak ?" said one traveller to the other. "Try him," said the- companion. "How do you do ?" said the man in the gig. "Howdy ?" remarked the Southerner languidly. "Pbasant country," said the interrogates "Fur them that likes it." "Lived here all your life ?"
The Southerner gazed pensively round, "Not yet," he said.
