And whenever the lady sad "Mr. Beede, I'll trouble you for this thing or thai ''-i always spoke right up with 70, marm, that trouble Is pleasure. J
 Finally our cousin had to come out and say, that she was surprised to find 'sso civilized a being, so far np the country" and she couldn't invent how, nor where had picked np so much polteness, as l had never been to Portland.
 We'll, my lady had hardly been in the house two hours before she begun 10 ask me about the prospects here in the country. 70" says l, s,pfeHy fair, considering. Hay will come in short, owing to dfauth in the spring but the potatoes look well, and corn is going 10 turn out a grand crop"
 "Mr. Beedle," says she, .d have heard before that you was q funny man. am going to look for myselGo-M that she elaps on Marm Peabody's old sun-honnet, anG ont she goes, dragging wife and mo after her, through the fields. And away she streaked ii, through bush and briar, and over fence aud stone wall twas neck or no- thing but no whow. And her tongue was running, all the time, as fast as her legs, every mite and grain. Sometimes under stood what she said, and sometimes didn't. But when 1 didn't understand, made us fl did, and she was none the wiser.
 "Mr. Beedle," says she, ssdon't you ad- mire the beauties of the country p
 ''l used to, man." says l, .'before I was married but now, you know, that won't do at al."
 70, you are queer little man, always thinking of the girls,--I am speaking of the beauties of natnre."
 o ho--yoa mean the beauties of nature. Sartain, admire the beauties ol nature, and always did,"
 By and by we got 10 the top of Bareback hill, and all nj once she began to play such antics that thought she was stuag by a humble bee. "My stars," says she, what a charming prospect !-beautilul, delightful. Come here, good folks. This is the spot 10 look from. Isn't that inchanting P
 At this Hannah she stretched her neck and stared all round, without saying q word, fer she could make nothing out, and she didn't know how 10 hide her ignorance. But blarted right out. 100000! snig- gers," says 1, eff that don't take the rag off the bush. That bangs every thing. It's equal to cash.''
 "I don't see nothing, John," says Ham nah says she, "what is t?"
 "Why look," says I, "can't you see with your eyes p
 "Where, where 4p
 "There, there,' says !, and give q sort of a jupe with my head for couldn't point any where particular. l had both hands in my pockets. But Hannah wouldn't be quiet. "Show me what it is. John, this minuit," says she and so she kept worrying and teazing me til our cousin spoke up, and says she, lis il possible, Miss Beedle, that you have lived here all your life lime, and never found out tue beauties Of this spot lo s'Yes" says I, ssis 1t possible r
 Hannah now begun to get ryled, as see plain enough. When her under lip begins 10 curl over downwardS, there's no joke in t. But Mrs. Gibbins took her by the hand and spoke so kind and suant, that she soon brought her to reason. And while she was pointing out and showing her how many hills and hollows and woods and meadows it look to make prospect, had a chance to breathe little. But hardly had time to think how nicely had walked over that pole before the lady bust out again; and this time she fairly screamed. Faith, I'd good will to cut aud run, for thinks l, T shall never be able 10 hoe my row through another prospect as long as lige.'
 But il was nothing after all-grcat cry and liple wool. It was only the sun setting. It come out of cloud and sbew grea: red face about two minutes and then went down behind the White mountains. And our cousin made as great .owse about 1t as if heaven and earth was coming together.
 Howsoever. our cousin is 3 right down nice, clever woman, any how. Hannah got more than one new wrinkle, while she staid. She learnt her to sing, and wanted to learn her 10 play the pyanny, but hadn't the means. O, she sets every thing By Hannah. But she didn't like our calling one another sJohn and Hannah Says she, .yoa should say my dear and my loye.''
