A HAY.FIELD.-That is a good story, which
may have been heard in more than one Yankee
bayfield, this summer. We heard it one day
when on visit in the country. We went out
to show some men how to "pilch." We had
failed, and wted down under haycork, and
lay fuehed, and tanning the G low and sweat OF
our features in a comfortable position, when
one of the jolly haymakers related the anecdote
of the old man who was always Dragging how
folks used TO work in his younger days, and
challenged his two sons together TO pitch on q
load of hay MS fast as he could load it.
THE challenge was accepted, and the hay
wagon driven round, and the trial commenced
For some time The man held his own very credi'
tably, calling out, tauutingly; More hay! more
hay!"
Thicker and faster II came, whole haycocks
at time, cloud after cloud, overwhelming
The old man was nearly covered up; still be
kept CRYING, "More hay! more hay" until
struggling to keep on toPof the disotdered and
ill.afranged heap, 1t began first to roll, them tc
slide, ard at Inst of it went from the wagon
a6d the old man whit. =,
:" Whist are you down here for?' cried the

man, stoutly.
Which was a literal fact; he had come dowt
after half a wagon load, whichhad to be pitched
on again rather more deliberately
