CHAPTER vi.
ANECDOTES.

ANECDOTES.
As we mounted our horses to proceed
to Amherst, groups Of country people
were to be seen standing about Pugnose's
inn, talking over the events of the morn
ing, while others were dispel singto their
severa! homes.
A pretty prime. snperiinc scoundrel,
that Pettifog. said the Clockmaker: he
and his constable are well mated, and
they've travelled in the same gear SO
long together. that they make about as
nice a yoke Of rascals as you'll meet in
days ride. They pull toge her like
one rope reeved through two blocks
That are constable was cen almost stran-
gled t'other day; and ifhe hadn't had a
little grain more wit than his master, |
guess he'd had his d-pipe stopped as
tight as a bladder. There is an outlaw
OF feler here for all the world like one
Of our Kentucky squatters, one Bill
Smith-a critter that neither fears man
nor devil. Sheriff and constable can
make no hand Of him-they can't catch
him no how; and if they do come up
with him, he slips through their fingers
like an eel; and thenhe goes armed, and
he can knock the eye out of a squirrel
with ball, at fifty yards, hand running
"a regular ugly customer.
Well, Nabb, the constable, had writ
aginhim, and he was cyphering a good
while how he should catch him, at last he
hit on plan that he thought was pret-
" clever, and he schemed for chance
to try it. So one day he heerd that Bill
was up to Pugnose's Inn. a settling some
business, and was likely TO be there all
night. Nabb waits till it was consider
able late inthe evening, and then he takes
his horse and rides down to the inn, and
bitches his horse behind the hay stack.
Then he crawls up to the window and
peeps in and watches there till Bill goes
70 bed, thinking the best way 10 catch
them are sort Of animals is to catch 'em
asleep. Well, he kept Nabb a waiting
outside SO long, with his talking and sing
ing, that he welInigh fell asleep first him
self at last Bill began 10 strip for bed.
First, he takes out long pocket pistol,
examines the priming, and lays it down
on the table near the head of the bed.
When Nabb sees this, he begins to
creep like all over, and feel kinder ugly,
and rather sick Of his job but when he
seed him jump into bed, and heerd him
sno out noise like man driving pigs
TO market, he plucked up courage, and
thought he might do it easy after all, III
he was to open the door softly, and make
one spring on him afore he could wake.
So round he goes, lifts up the latch Of
his door as soft as soap, and makes one
jump right atop of him. as he lays on
the bed. ! guess got, you this time,

CHAPTER VII.
GO AHEAD.

When we resumed our conversation,
the Clockmaker said, 81 guess we are
The greatest nation on the face Of the
airth, and the most Intelligent too"
This was rather too arrogant to pass
unnoticed, and Iiwas about replying that
whatever doubts there might be on that
subject, there could be none whatever
that they were the most modest; when
he continued, I'VE go ahead the Nova
Scotians go astarn.' Our ships go
ahead of the ships of other folks. our
steamboats, 60 ahead Of the British in
speed, and SO do our stage coaches and
ireckon areal right down New York
trottermight stump the universe for go
ing ahead. But since we introduced the
rail roads, if we don't go ahead its a
pity. Wenever fairly knew what go
ing the whole hog was till then; we actil-
ly went ahead Of ourselves, and that's
no easy matter, | tell you. Ifthey only
had edicalion here, they might do SO too;
but they don't know nothing. You un-
deryalue them, said |, they have their
Colleges and Academies, heir grammar
schools and primary institutions, and |
believe there are few among them who
canrot read or write. ias
guess all that's nothin. said he. AS
for Latin and Greek, we don't valy it
cent. We teach it. and so we do paint
ing and music, because the English do,I
and we like TO 60 ahead OF them ia that
TOO. As for reading its well enough for
them that has nothing to do, and writing
g plaguy apt to bring a man to S,atcs
Prison, particularly if he writes his
name SO like another mans as to have it
mistaken for his'n. Cyphering IS the

other rail roads, but it viii beget spir-
it of enterprise, that will beget other
useful improvements. 1t will enlarge
the sphere and means Of trade, open new
sources Of traffic and supply-develop
resources--and what is Of more value,
perhaps, than all--beget motion. twill
teach the folks nat go astarn or stand
stock still, like the State house in Bos-
ton, Qhough they do say the foundation
Of that has moved a leetle this summer)
not only to go ahead, but to nullify time
and space. M
Here his horse, (who, feeling the ami
nation of his master, had been restive
of late,) set off at most prodigious rate
OF trotting. 1t was some time before
he was reined up. When | overlook
him, the Clockmaker said, this old Yam
kee horse, you see, understands our word
''go ahead" better nor these blue-noses.
What is it, he continued, what is it
that fetters the heels Of young country
and hangs like poke around its neck?
What retards the cultivation Of the soil,
and the improvement of its fisheries D.
The high price Of labor, guess. Well,
what's a.rail road? The Substitution Of
mechanical for human and animal labor,
on scale as great as our great country
Labour is dear in America and cheap IN
Europe. A rail road, therefore, is com
paratlvely, no manner of use to them, to
what it is to us-it does wonders there.
but it works miracles here. There il
makes the old man younger. but here ii
makes the child giant. T7ous it Is riy-
er. bridge, road, and canal, all one. 1t
saves what we han't got to spare, men,
horses, carts, vessels, and what's all in
all---time.
Since the creation of the Universe, |
guess lis the greatest invention, arter
man. Now this is what call cvphering
arter human natur, while figures are cy-
phering after the assistant. These two
sorts Of cypherng make idecation--and
you may depend ont, Squire, there is
nothing like folks cyphering, ifthey want
TO go ahead.

And old Ontario's billowy lake
Prolonged the thunder-tone
"Those chieftains at our side who stood
Upon the christening day,
Who gave the glorious names we hear,
Our sponsors-where are they?
And then the fair Ohio charged
Her many sisters dear:
"Show me once more, those stately forms,
Within my mirror clear"
But they replied: "Tall barks of pride
Do cleave our waters blue,
And strange keels ride ourfarthest tide,
But where's their light canoe :"
The farmer drove his plough share deep:
"Whose bones are these 7" said he;
g find them where my browsing sheep
Roam Ger the upland lea;''
But, starting sudden to his path,
A phantom seemed to glide,
A plume of feathers on his head,
A quiver at his side.
He pointed to the rifed grave,
Then raised his hand on high,
And with a hollow groan invoked
The vengeance of the sky;
Der the broad realm, SO long his own,
Gazed with despairing ray,
Then, on the mist that slowly curled,
Fled mournfully away.
