THE DAILY DISPATCH.THE DAILY PISPATHH.

From the Southern Literary GazettedUNDER THE STUMP:

OR, SAMSON'S KEPPER'S COURTSHIP.BT PAUL CRKTTOS.

fCoftCLUUED]Such was the slate of affairs, when Samson

went one day to cut a saw-logout of thetrunk ofa large maple, which the wind hadtorn up by the roots, not far from the house.?Having thrown his vest on the ground, androlled up his sleeves, Mr. Kepper commencedchopping off the log, about eight feet fromthe butt.

It was a'hard job,' Samson afterwards said;?and as the sun came pouring down upouhim, he was quite exhausted and heated, be-fore the first'cut' was off. Leaving the mainportion of the trunk hanging by a 'chip' tothe stump, in order that blocks mightbe placedunder it to keep it from falling quite to theground, Samson stuck his axe into the lo?,and began to look for a shady place to sitdown.

Nearby grew a stately basswood, from therootsjof which sprung up a luxuriantgrowhofshoots, surrounding the parent tree. Reflect-ing that these would not only shad; him fromthe sun, but also serve as a protection againstthe swarm of flies, he determined to find aresting place among them, and began, ac-cordingly, to push them aside, in search of themost comfortable spot.

At that moment the chirping of a squirrel at-tracted his attention to the vast mass of earth,which adhered to the upturned roots ot thefallen tree. The little animal was sitting onthe summit of this mass, talkingsaucily to Mr.Kepper, who thinking ofthe corn it would con-sume the coming autumn, picked up a club,and with a well aimed blow, knocked it intothe deep envitv left by the exhumed roots ofthe tree. Mr. Kepper, with ail eye to pleasinghis little nephews, jumped into the hollow,picked the kicking squirrel out of the mud,and having thrown it down by his ve3t, pro-ceeded to ensconce himself in the bushes.

I Mr. Kepper found a most comfortable spot; whem he was quite concealed from the sunand flies; and there leaning against the ancientbasswood, he indulged in arevery, in which anice widow, a delightful family of children,cider in the evening, and gooseberry piefor dinner, were charmingly mixed up to-gether.

Mr. Kepper was startled from his pleasantreflections by a dull cracking sound, in thedirection of the tree on which he had beenchopping; and pushing aside the bushes, hesaw the 'chip' breaking, by which he had leftthe log hanging to the stump.

'There goes the log to the ground,' he mut-tered with some impatience.

No sooner had he spoken, than the trunkdropped off, and instantaneously the hugemass of roots and earth overbalancing thestump, which was no longer attached to thetree, turned slowly back, and fell with a dull,heavy report, into its original bed

'The dogs'.' muttered Samson, 'it is lucky Ididn't happento be picking that squirrel out oftlie hollow just at this lime'.'

And he shuddered to think what a horriddeath to be crashed under an avalanche ofroots and clay!

Mr. Kepper, however, snt still, and wassoon lost in another revery, from which hewas aroused by a most extraordinary occur-rence.

It afterwards appeared that Joe Symes, the'hired man,' who was at work repairing afence, near by, had twice or thiice cast hiseyes in thr. direction of the fallen tree. Hear-ing the sound of Mi. Kepper's axe no longer,Mr. Symes looked shortly after, and saw that

worth'v man in (lie hole, under tho roots of thetree; and in a little while, startled by a smothered concussion, he looked again, and beheldthe stump turned back. At that moment, Mr.Bunker appeared, and inquired for his brothcr-iu law. Both looked in the direction of thestump, and seeing nobody, Mr. Symes suddenly exclaimed ?

4I vow!''What?'

, , , . .'

"?I bet Kepper's ben ketched under ths butt of

that tree!' .Mr. Bunker thought it could not be; but

Symes assuring him ihat the Inst time he eat*

Mr. K., he wan in the hole, both ran to the spot.?Good Lord!' cried Symes, 'here'shis jacket

?there's his axe?l vow! he's a goner!'This was the exclamation which aroused

Mr. Kepper. He looked through the bushes,and held his breath.

'Impossible!' said Mr. Bunker* nervously.'Can't be'.'

?Where's Mr. Kepper, then V demandedSymes.

'Why, he's walked off, I suppose.'Walked off?walked off, in a biiliu' sun,

without his hat? Look here!"Svtnes picked up the old bachelor s hat,

*"?l declare that looks bid!' muttered Bunker.Mr.Kepper was on the very point of show-

in* himself, to end the joke and have a grandlaughover if, when Mr. Bunker made tlie re-mark, that it looked, bad.

Now Mr. K. could nave cot the least objec-tion to having any man say, such a *tate olthings looked had. He himself would havebeen deeply impressed with the conviction thatit looked bad, had he been under the slump.?Yet the manner in which Mr. B. made the remark, according to Mr. K 's way of thinking,looked had in itself. To be briet, Mr. li. scountenanceand tone expressed a satisfactionwhich he could not conceal; and Mr. K. thoughthe would just try the experiment ol anting

"'?Looks bad! Guess itjdoes!' cried Symes;?and he swore'by George that if Kepperwasn't under the stump, he was, and that it

was a kind of duty they owed the old feller,to dig nitn out. ,

'Dig him out! 'twould take an age. mut-

tered Mr. Buuker, rubbing bis hands?proba-blv to keep the flies. 'Tell you what, Joe ifhe"', there he's killed ; and it iso t is though alittle diggin would save a man s life. &o we

may as'well make certain that he a there be.fore we ... mi r?.?There! 10 be sure lie s there. 111 goforthe shovel*!' exclaimed Joe. #y George.hewas the best fellow m .he world! he added,with emotion. 'I'll the sbovels-or don I

Symes ran off, while Bunker remained look-ing complacently at the *iutup.

'The doge!' muliered Kepper, giving wayto die momentary fancy that he was is thebad predicament supposed?''if you standthere, you'll never get ma out! Why don tyou go lo digging t*

Bunker walked around tne stump, endea-voring to look under ii, where the endaol theroofs protruded, and hoaliv exclaimed, loadenough for his beloved brother to bear?

'Buried,sure as gnus!'?Am It' muttered Kepper. 'Ho! there

comes Jane! I wonder what she'll say T'Mrs. Bunker came ruuning to the spot, ia a

terrible state of excitement.'Dm ma!' she gasped. 'Joe says Sato, ia

under the stump.'Well,' said Bunksr,"l s'pose he ia.'*'S'poaa ha ia!' groaned Samson.

PRICE, ONE CENI.'Oh, what shall we do T* cried Jane, ereai-ly agitated. 'Gracious, how horrid! Can hebegot out? How long has he been here T'?Loneenough,' whispered Bunker. 'Theold de»il must be stone dead. Of course, it'shorrid, bu: then we oughl to be thankful thatmade his will.'Oh, yes, Samson was a cautions mar. He

" have I,TeJ?Could'nt! We'll see!' muttered Samson.And it s some consolat.on, added Jane moricalmly, to know that, although we have lostdamson, our children are provided for. Oh 1here comes Joe wiih the oxen! My poordear brother! Oh, save him, Joseph! Hernav still be alive.''Possible?' whispered Samson, hoarselr.'Quick, Bunker, help me whip this lorchain round the top of the stump,' criedSymes.?Fudge! they can't pull it,' said Bunker.' 1 heie's no use if they can ! T growled Sam-son, stepping from the bushes. *1 don't die soeasy!''Good Lord ! here he is !* cried Symes, drop-

ping the log chain.'The devil!' muttered Bunker, changing

countenance. 'Oh, my dear Samson '.'-he add-ed, recovering his self possession,'yea rejoicemy heart. I never thought you were underthat stump, but still I?l felt anxious?''My dear, dear biother!' exclaimed Jane,running to embrace him. 'I was afraid you

were hurt?''And that 1 wasn't married! hum!' sneeredSamson, putting on his vest surlily.'My dear brother!' began Bunker, depreca*tingly, 'you have made?''My will ! I know it!' walking off.'But where are you going?' asked the anx-ious Bunker.'To inform Mrs. Brooks that she has your

permission to go to the devil'?'My dear brother?l meant'?

ou mean to consign her to me. To bosure! \ou called me an old devil! lamglad, my nohleminded sister, that the odiousmatch is off yourruind. But it happens to beon my mind, heavy as you supposed this cur-sed stump was on my body.'

Jane sobbed ou his neck, but Samsonpushed her away.'\ ou consoled yourself with the recollectionof my will, when vou thought I was dead,' he

muttered; 'and now that 1 am alive, you areinconsolable! Here, Joe Symes,'he cried tothe wondering laborer, 'here's iny hand?l'llremember you. Throw that log chain aroundBunker, and shake him into the middle ofnext July, and you'll do nie a service !'

And he strode away, leaving Jane weepinghysterically, Bunker knawing his nether lip,und Joe Symes laughing so that he could hard-ly stand.

Samson Kepper never entered his ownhouse again, until the Bunkers had moved outol ii, which event was ofspeedy occurrence,and then he did take possesnion, acrompaniedby the, widow?now Mrs. Kepper and all thelittle Brookses.

And now Sampson was very happy, for hehad but three things to repent?that he hadnot married Lucretia fifteen years ago, insteadof allowing another to enjoy her freshestbloom ; that the years during which he hadbeen feeding the selfishness of others, had notbeen years of blissful married life ; and thatnil the dear little Brookses were not dear littleKeppers.
