Uncle Dudley's odd hours, being the vagaries of a country editor . cket, andbeheld the accumulation, since the old vest was other things, we found half a dozen scraps ofpaper with memoranda on each, three big screws, fourmatches two tooth-picks, two stubs of pencils, a pencil-holder, button-hook, three shirt and one pant button, afour-penny nail, a tin tack, a nickle, a printers rule, arow of pins, a small piece of tobacco and a little the only vital difference between now and thirtyyears ago was, that we found no slings, no assortmentof strings, no second-hand horse-shoe nails, none of the *machinery of a wooden cart, mud marbles, or brokenhens eggs, as we used to in those days. But, we foundenough to forcibly remind us of that happiest period oflife when we didnt care whether school kept or not,—only a good deal rather it wouldnt—or whether Gener-al Scott killed the last Mexican greaser in existence—only a good deal rather he would—or whether the put-ty market in Antwerp fluctuated up or fluctuated down.
