Why, says Daniel, let me see, | have to
go down South to Washington, to plead
the great insurance case Of the Hartford
Company-and I've got to be at Cincin-
natl to attend the Convention, and don't
see how l can go to Rhode Island with
out great loss and great fatigue it would
cost you may be more than you'd be viii
ling to give. s] ,,5es,
Well, the Quaker looked pretty white
about the gills | tell you, when he heard
this, for he could not do without him no
how, and he did not like this preliminary
talk of his at all-at last he made bold to
ask him the worst Of it, what he would
take ? Why, says Daniel, always liked
the Quakers, they are a quiet, peaceable
people, who never go into law, if they
can help it, and would be better for
ourgreat country, if there were more
such people init. never seed or heerd
tell Of any harm in 'em, except going
the whole figure for Gineral Jackson.
and that everlastin almighty villain, Van
Buren; yes, love the Quakers, lhope
they 60 the Webster ticket yet-and
I'll 60 for you as low as can any way
afford, say, $1,000. b sg1aafa 81.
The Quaker we'll nigh tainted when
he heerd this, but he was pretty deep
too so says he, Lawyer, that's great
deal of money but have more cases
there, if | give the 1000 dollars, will you
plead all the cases | shall have for you
there ? Yes, says Daniel, l will to the
best Of my humble abilities. So down
they went, to Rhode Island, and Daniel
tried the case and carried it for the old
Quaker. Well, the Quaker he goes
to all the folks what had suits in court,
and says he, what will you give me if
get the great Daniel TO plead for you g.
1t cost me 1000 dollars for a fee, but he
and | are pretty thick, and as he is on
the spot, iii get him to plead cheap for
you-so he got two hundred dollars from
one, and two from another, and so on,
until he goteleven hundred dollars, Just
one hundred dollars more than he gave.
Daniel was in greatrage when he heerd
this; what, said he, do you think | will
consent to your letting me out like
horse to hire !? Friend Daniel, said the
Quaker, didst thou not agree to plead all
such, cases as ! should have TO give thee?
If thou wilt not stand to thy agreement,
neither will | to mine. Daniel laughed
out ready to split his sides at this. Well,
says he, | guess | might as well stand
still and let you put the bride on this
time, for you have fairly pinned me up
in the corner Of the fence, any how--so
he went good humoredly to work and
pleaded them all.
This lazy fellow, Pugnose, continued
The clockmaker, that keeps this inn, is
going to.sell off and go TO the States
ne says he has 10 work too hard here
hat the markets are dull, and the win
:ers too long and he guesses he can
i've easier there Iguess he'll find his
mistake afore he's been there long. Why|
our country amt to be compared to this, /
IN no account whatever our country
never made US to be the great nation We
lre, but we made the country. How
IN airth could we, if we were like old
ougnose, as lazy as ugly, make that cold
hin soil Of New England, produce what
does! Why, sir, the land between
Boston and Salem, would starve flock
# geese; and yetlook at Salem, it has
more cash than would buy Nova Scotia
rom the King. We rise early, live iru-
,ally, and work late; what we get, we
axe care of. Tolallthis we add enter,
rise and Intelligence feler who finds
work too hard here, had better not 90 to
he States. lmet an Irishman, one Pat
lannigan, last week, who had just re-
urned from the States; why, says |,
Pat, what on airth broughtilyou backa
Bad luck to them, says Pat, if I warn't
bit. What do you get day
n Nova Scotia? says Judge Beeler to
ne. -Four shillings, your Lordship, says
There are no Lords here, says he,
We are all free Well, says he, ri give

herein two; Illgive you eight shillings
day. Long life 10 your Lordship.
