1 1 (liy W'.VI.T ,MA.SOX.)

1 hired n man to hoe my squashes; I he came, in gauntlets and goloshes at the appointed hour; he threw his coat upon some boulders, and rolled his shirt sleeves to Wis shoulders, and hosd with vim and; power. iHe did not pnuse at times to cackle about the war, noi- yet to- tackle the grievous income tax; he sfew the weeds, that threatened choke the vines, and kept his hoe a-snioking, and buckled down like wax. And when his toi'some task was ended, up to the this worker wended, where I ( sat smoking hay. "Come out," he saiid, "where I've been hoeing, andi Rte I've made a proper showing, bofore I draw my pay-" I fell uponhis ncuk and kissed hiiin. and lvung some laurels 011 his system, and cried, "You take the bnn! For seldom do I see a fellow who cares how punk his work, or yellow, so that lie gets tlie mon.. lam enchanted with your Lvbowrs, and boost you through the town ; the toileir who, by every action, endeavours to give satisfaction, deserves a high renown."
