"Yes, that we will," says the landlord, "and if I don't stick you into a bill of costs '_in the morning_,' rot me. You'll have a nice time," he continued, "out carousing till daylight; lucky I've got his wallet in the fire-proof, the jackass would be robbed before he got back, _and I'd lose my bill!_" Don Cæsar did not return to make good his promise _in the morning_, and so the landlord took the liberty of investigating the wallet, deposited for safe keeping in the fire-proof of the office, by the Don; and lo! and behold! it contained old checks, unreceipted bills, and a few samples of Brandon bank notes, with this emphatic remark:--"All right, if it ain't all right, WE'LL MAKE IT ALL RIGHT IN THE MORNING!" Don't you believe in 'em? We are astounded at the incredulity of some people. Every now and then you run afoul of somebody who does not believe in spiritual knockers. Enter any of our drinking saloons, take a seat, or stand up, and look on for an hour or two, especially about the time "churchyards yawn!" and if you are any longer skeptical upon the _spirit_-ual manifestations as exhibited in the knee pans, shoulder joints, and thickness of the tongue of the _mediums_,--education would be thrown away on you. The Old Black Bull It's poor human natur', all out, to wrangle and quarrel now and then, from the kitchen to the parlor, in church and state. Even the fathers of the holy tabernacle are not proof against this little weakness; for people will have passions, people will belong to meetin', and people will let their passions _rise_, even under the pulpit. But we have no distinct recollection of ever having known a misdirected, but properly interpreted _letter_, to settle a chuckly "plug muss," so efficiently and happily as the case we have in point. Old John Bulkley (grandson of the once famous President _Chauncey_) was a minister of the gospel, and one of the best _edicated_ men of his day in the wooden nutmeg State, when the immortal (or ought to be) Jonathan Trumbull was "around," and in his youth. Mr. Bulkley was the first _settled_ minister in the town of his adoption, Colchester, Connecticut. It was with him, as afterwards with good old brother Jonathan (Governor Trumbull, the bosom friend of General Washington), good to confer on almost any matter, scientific, political, or religious--any subject, in short, wherein common sense and general good to all concerned was the issue. As a philosophical reasoner, casuist, and _good_ counselor, he was "looked up to," and abided by.
