Squire Jones iiad got niseveni g fire on, and set fiimnclf down to reading t c great b.hse, Kviien he heard a rap at his door. “ W Ik n. ! —Well, Joiin, ’now der do?

Don't forget the mat, tuere, Mr. Beedic.” This put me in mind that I had been off soundings several times, in the long muddy lane; and my boots were in a sweet pickle. It was now old Captain .Tones’ tun, the grandfather. Being roused from a doze, by t e bustle and racket, he opened both h*s eyes at first with wonder and astonishment. At last ho began to halloo so oud that you m ght hear him a mile; for he takes it for grunted that every body is just exactly as deaf as he is? Mrs. Jones going close to his ear, screamed out, “it’s Johnny Beedle.” —“Ho—Johnny Roe'He.

He then sunk b i.ck into nis doze again. T ie dog stretched himself before one andi ron, the cit squat down before the ot .ar.
