! In the evenin' drives over to Nabal's and
LasEfer putin up my beast, old Clay, goes into
the house, and sure enough, there they were as
big as life. The young ladies asittin' on one
side, and the men astandin' up by the door, and
chattern' away in great good humour. There
was young chap aholdn' forth to the men
about politics; he was young trader, set up by
some merchant in Halifax, to ruinate the settle
nent with good for nothin' trumpery they
hadn't no occasion for,-chock full of concelt
and afTecation, and begnnin' to feel his way
with the yarI stick to assembly already.
Great dandy was Mr.. Bobbin; he looked gist
las il he had come out ofthe tailor's hands splc
and span; put out his lips and drew down his
brow, as if he had trick O. thinkin' sometimes
nodded his head and wnked, as if he knew
more than he'd like to tell-talked of talent
quite Glib, but disdanful, as if he wouldn't touch
some folks with pair OF tongs: great scholar
too was Mr.. Bobbin, always spoke dictionary,
and used heavy artillery words ldon't enter
tain no manner Of doubt if government would
lake him at his own valuation, he'd be found TO
be q man o. great worth. never liked the
critter, and always gave him poke when got
a chance. He was a town meetin' orator; "a
grand school that to larn public speakin', squire;
nice muddy pool for young ducks to larn to
swim in. He was grand hand to redd lectures
| in blacksmiths' shops at vandues and the like,
and talked politics over his counter at a great
size. He looked big and talked big, and alto
gether was q considerable big man in his own
concet. He dealt in reform. He had ballot
tape, suffrage ribbon, radical lace no tythe hats,
and beautiful pipes with democrats head on
'em, and the maxim, "No sinecure," under ii.
Every thing had its motto. No sir, said he, to
some one he was talkin' to as came in, this
country is a,tenuated to pulverization by its
Iaristocracy-a proud, naughty arstocracy;a
corrupt, lgnious and lapidnious aristocracy
put them into a parcel, envelope EN- with
panoply of paper, tie them up and put them into
line scales, and they will be found wantln'.
There is not pound ofhonesty among em, nay
mot an ounce, nay not penny weight The
Iarticle is wantin'-t is not in their catalogue.
THE word never occurs either in their order, or
lin their invoice. They won't bear the inspection
they are not marchantable; nothin' but refuse
Ifthere is no honesty in market, says !, why
don't you import some, and retail II QUIZ you
might make some considerable profit on it, and
do good 10 the country too; it would be quite
patriotic that Pm glad to see, says one honest
Imam talkin' politics any how, for there's one
thing I've observed in the course OF my expe-
renee, whenever a man suspects all the world
that's above him OF roguery, he must be apretty
considerable superfine darned-(rogue himself,
whispered some critter standin' by, loud enough
for all on 'em TO hear, and toset the whole party
achokin' with larfter)-judge OF the article
himself, saysI. Now, says J, if you 90 import
!. il, eist let us know how you sell t,-by the yard
the quart, or the pound, will you? for 1t amt SET
down in anv tradin' tables I've seen, whether II
f is for long measure, dry measure, or weight :.
| Well, says he, atryin' to larf, as Il ne dldn'
take the hint, ri let you know, for it might be
of some use to you, perhaps, in the CLOCK trace

, now.-how do clocks 60. Like some young
i, country traders I've seen in my time, says i
don't 60 long afore they are run down, ana nave
to be wound up again. They are considerable
