THE NEW BOY.

I Yov may talk about faoing the brazen cannon and charging a blazing line of bay one tt, but the new boy who oomes to town has a little the roughest mueio to face of anybody we .know of. He hangs around in the shadow of the old people so that that Flackerby boy won't pet hold of him and bounce the life out of him, and if he skips across the plnzi it's two to one that he don't run into Migg'a boy, who strikes him one in the eye before he knows himself. Tnen the town boys fall in am dare him to fight and call him names just because he's a new boy. We've been there ourselves, and found that the on'y way to have any comfort for the first three days in town is for the new boy to dare the whole posse oat 0n.9 at a time, and maul them in respect for him. And then he will be the highest boy in the business. But talk about agony and dread, the new boy who comes into town with a particle of timidity in his constitution, has more trouble and fear to the sq'iare inch than the Eoaperer who ride's " Under der Linden," expecting to gab , filled^ with buck shot by an assasuin.
