A Hunting Story.

An old backwoodsman that Abraham Lincoln often told of had very heavy, over-hanging eyebrows, and wore big spectacles with brass rims. One day he came rushing into his cabin and seizing his rifle, aimed it carefully through a crack of the door at a great oak tree that stood near, and fired. “What ii Itr whispered his wife; “A wildcat, Salry,” he said, excitedly, ‘‘an’ I missed him I ” ~ He hastily loaded and fired again, and then again. ''

“Now, hold on, Joshua," said his good wife. “Let/me look at you. Why, laws-ardaisy, It’s nothin* bdt a little bug on one o' your eyebrows!”— Housekeeper.
