In small village in the southern ssc-
ton Of our State, resides certain Major,
who keeps a small, cosey, comfortable inn,
famous for its sweetcned drinks, as well
as jovial landlord; ard few Of the surround

giving he Major q friendly call to taste
his mixture. The gay host with jolly
phiz, round person, bright eye and ini!i-
tary air, deals ont the rations spiced with
jokes, which, If they are not funny, are at
least laughed at, for the Major enjoys
them so vastly himself, that his auditors
are obliged to laugh out Of pure sympathy.

amicable relations existing between ths
Major and the old visitors have been bro
