Soft Sawder.

“ I don’t like to be left alone - with a gal,” says Sam Slick; “ it’s plaguey apt to set me a soft sawderin’and a courtin’. There’s a sort of nateral-attraction-like in this world. Two ships in a calm are sure to get alongside of each other, if there is n® wind and they have nothin’ to do but to look at each other; natur’ does it. Well, even the tongs and the shovel won’t stand alone long; they’re sure to get on the same side of the fire and be sociable; one on ’em has a loadstone and draws.t'other; that’s sartain.
