happened in one of the towns of Arkansas. A

shut and dark. The liquor he had taken was
too much for him; he did not know where to
CO. He at last staggered into an empty wagon
shed, and fell upon the ground. For long
time he lay in all the unconsciousness of drunk
en- sleep, and would undoubtedly have frozen,
(for the snow on the ground showed the night
to be very cold,) had not others less insensible
than himself been around him. This shed was
a favorite rendezvous for the hogs, which were
out when the new conner arrived, but soon re-
turned to their bed. In the utmost kindness,
and with the truest hospitality, they gave their
biped companion the middle Of The bed; some
lying on either side of him, and others acting
the part of quilt. Their warmth prevented
him from being injured by his exposure. To-
wards morning he awoke; finding himself COM
Portable, in blissful ignorance of his wherea-
bouts, he supposed himself enjoying the accom-
modations of tavern, in company with other
gentlemen. He reached out his hand, and
catching hold Of the stiff bristles of hog, cx-
claimed, "Wby, mister, when did you share
