It's healthy for young men.

That's the reason the old man don't forbid it, I s'pose.

And these fellows carry good shooting-irons with hair-triggers, and I declare I don't want to be bothered writing home to your mother, and explaining to her that you got killed in a fight with blacklegs, I declare I don't, you see.

And then you'll get the 'old man' down on you, if you let a bird out of the trap in which he goes snucks; you will, I declare.

And you'll get walking-papers at Louisville.
