 he Dutchman put his mark to the contract, and then requested the Squire to read 1t, that he might see whether it was correct. He listened with atten. tion, and when the Squire had concIud- ed, he said
 "Oii yaw-that ish right-da ish no more ash akreed to--he ish 10 schmolse and trlnk citer now and den at mine ex. Pense-dat is all right. Now, Shquire Gobble, you may ko home init your ink norm; and you, tam Yankee, way ko to work"

 Having given these directions the Dutehman departed 10 his work expect Ing the hired man would follow him in the course of two or three minutes But he waited, and waited a long time. without seeing any thing of the Yan- kec. Atlast ile got out of all patience. and went in rage to the house to sec what the fellow was about. There he found him with a pipe in one hand and a mug of cider in the other, alternately pulling and quatiing, as though that was to be the only business of the day.
 "Sv. you tam Yankee rascal.n' broke forth the Dutchman-"aint you tone schmokin yet?s

 With that the Dutchman flung out of the house in d great passion, and went again to his work. But the Yankee, to his utter astonishment, did not make his appearance. After working for some time in no very pleasant humor, he de- termincd to post back to the house and send the rascal adrift. When he enter ed, he found him still engaged with the pipe and the mug of cider.
 "0h you coot-lor-nottin, lazy, cheat- in, tam Yankee rascal, you!!' said the Dutchman, stepping iierccly towards him and shaking his first in his face "Vat you mean, hey?'
 "Dont be ina passion" coouy answer ed the Yankee.

I'll not keep zich yellow on my bremishes-not l-zo you may bick up yourtuds and clear yourself out before preak your tam head" The enragcd Dutchman seized a chair, and was about suiting the action to the word when the Yankee reminded him of the contract.
