Uncle Dudley's odd hours, being the vagaries of a country editor . head on achair, and he wanted us to try it j of course we woulddo anything to please the children, and up went ourheels, over went the chair, and down went the this time, wite advised that we go to bed, andtake a rest; and we did, for we felt a little tired, morning we ascertained that our cold was slightlyworse, and our head immensely so—strange as it may seem. A man down in Indiana dropped dead at the pollsduring the recent election. We could not learn whichticket he voted; therefore, we shall say nothing abouta special visitation ot Divine wrath, until we learn themans politics. Were we to strive more, to practic common sense,and less, to achieve extraordinary sense, we would beconsidered far more sensible. Seconds chase the moment, the moment the hour,the hour the day, the day the week, the week themonth, the month the year, the year the man, until heis frightened over the brink of Time—a last leap, andthat, a leap into the dark. 24 184 UNCLE DUDLEYS.
