THINGS THAT I LIKE.

I i,i* n nn aimabel man (pot one who will let jou spit on him), but one who don't want tow spit on cnnyboddy else. I like a stirring man (not one who stirs up musics), but ono who hits got somebhiug'tew dow and div it. I like a good looking man (not a pretty man), but ono who looks well — into things, ono whom yu can't phule with ••mare's nest, unless- he seoa th« eld snare on it. I hko a gritty man (not 11 dirty one), but ono that pitches in like a frog oph from a iaw log, no matter how deep the water is. IMike a fass-h'osi (one that- goes ftwt because lie lurs tew), such a crittur is half human ; lie ncwr ought to be hitched to a plough, he ought to be took out ov hi» stable az a wild pigeon had out ov hiz cago, and let him — go. I like a rat terrier with am This hair combed forward, hiz e^eson lire, hiz tnle «t might, out Bhn", every muscle alive an the entiro dorg only three feet oft" from a rat-hole. 1 like womnn (handsum if it u convenient) with more w isdom than laming, ehnste, but not frozen, soft, but not nilly, and. fond, but uot fussy, sioh wimmm are skate, and arc* going tew be skasor. Hike religion (Hie-kmd that 1 works 6 days and'rrstß om the 7), which aek* on a man's soul, az congress water does on his body, phctiok* him woll, but don't make him any the wenker. I like good 1 order — good' inornN —^.ood friends — and awl i things well dun, except bccl*teaLs, and thHt i want laic i du\<.- Juih Uillings.
