A YANKEE.

The Boston Olive Branch having called
the editor Of the New York atlas Yankee,
the Aflds man gets OF the following ::
IS But we own up to the Yankee, and feel
nolittle pride 10 it but we didn't hail from
berkshire exactly. We have dropped
pumpkin seeds and have eaten hasty pud-
ding and milk in New Hampshire, and have
plowed, moved, reaped, and logged it in
the State Of Maine, We have 6shed for
mipnows with q pin hook, and carried our
bread and butter to school; and we have
seen dog driving on the Kennebec river
club-footed girl to slide down hill made
slippery by the fall Of pine leaves, on her
feet, for the fun of seeing her catch hertoes
and roll over and over, and We have gone
into the swamps with two yoke of oxen, and
a bob sled, when the snow was five feet
deep. and felled trees, and stwitched' logs
all day, and went home at night-fall to
sbean porridge hot;' we have been to few
PRAYER meetings, that's fact, and we've
been to shuskings,' too, and 'apple-bees,'
sraisngs,' and militia musters.'
We have helped make cider, and after
wards set Ga straddle,' of a barrel, and suck
ed it with straw. We have set up all
night in saw-mill, and have set up all night
with gal. We have high opinion of
Johnny cake and 'sassinger,' and we have
frequently hadra finger in the making of the
latter we have eaten our share of Goldfish
and potatoes, with pork scraps, and we
guess we have licked proper proportion OF
'lasses candy, and also boys; we have pulled
flax for nine pence day, because we had
sick-headache and couldn't 20 to school,
and have had teeth pulled with a piece Of
strong thread; we have travelled over the
fields in Spring with a maui, knocking
about what-you-c call ems, and have popped
corn in the ashes we have turned the grind
stone all day to sharpen anew axe, snapped
Jack knives, broken steers and colts, set
traps for skunks and woodchucks, tapped
our own shoes, clicked the school-master,
robbed the milk pans Of the cream, and laid
it to the cat, pitched into the apple Sass
hooked maple sugar, and nameless other
things 'too numerous to mention,' but for
particulars of which see small bills.

A QUAKER JOKE,

A correspondent sends US the following
good thing for the hot weather: K,
the Quaker President of Pennsylvania
Railroad, during the confusion and panic
last fall, called upon the W--Bank,
with which the road had kept large, regu-
lar account and asked for an extension Of a
part of its paper falling due in few days.
The Bank President declined rather abruptly,
saying, in tone common with that frater-
nifty:
"Mr. r., your paper must be paid at ma
turity. We cannot rene,c itE'
''Very well,' the Quaker replied, and left
the Bank. But he did not let the matter
drop here, On leaving the Bank, he walked
quietly over to the depot and telegraphGd
all the agents and conductors on the Road,
to reject the bills on tho W. Bank
In few hours train, began to arrive, full
of the panic, and bringing the news of dis
line of the Road. Stockholders and depos-
panic, inquiring. WHAT'S the matter ?''-
the officers showed that the trouble origina-
ted in the rejection of the bills by the Rail-
road. The President seized his hat and
rusneu uoWn TO the QuaKer>S once ana
came brushing in with the inquiry,
"Ar. H., have you directed the
refusal of our currency by your agents ?"
eyes. was the quiet reply.
"Why is this? it will ruin u.s.
"Well, friend l. | supposed thy
Bank was about to fail, as thee could not
renew q little paper for ms this morning.
1t is needless to say Mr.. L--renew-
ed:all ssthe Quaker's papers and enlarged
his line of discount, while the magic wires
carried all along the Road, every agent the
sedatlve message, ''The W--Bank
is all right. Thee may take its currency.'

CT Non-paying subscribers are thus
talked t" by q Southern editor:
"Wagons cannot run without wheels,
boats without steam, bullfrogs jump with
out legs, or newspapers carried on everlast-
ingly without money, no more than dog
can wag his tail when he amt got nome
Our subscribers are all good, but what good
does mans goodness do when it don't do
any good. We have no doubt every one
thinks that all have paid except him, and as
we are clever fellow, and his a little mat
ter, it will make no difference"
