made just such resolutions before.

for John kept things pretty straight, but still
there was some short comings. The habit Of
representation was too firmly fixed upon him
to be easily thrown off
Al Autumn drew near, John Boggs began

for price which might BY some be consid-
cred almost fabulous. I've same purchaser
wanted horses, and John sold his three heavy
ones, keeping only . three year old colt,
which he Thought would answer for all his
riding through the winter.
Very near Johns farm was o large tract
Of land covered with heavy pine trees--most
of them magnificent white pines and he had
partly contracted to cut these trees down,
fashion the logs, and haul them distance OF
three miles to the river. The contract
would be valuable one for him. because

DEACON HEZEkIAH.

o, Hezekiah's pious soul
With his phiz as long as hickory pole,
And he wouldn't smile if you'd give him the whole
OF the gold in California;
There he is, like cloud. in his Sunday pew,
With his book in hand, in his long-tail blue,
And you'd better take Or he'll look you thro'
With glance thai says.'l scorn you"
He is very strait. and narrow, and TALL,
F. ON the crown TO The hem of his oyer-all:
And he sings The psalm with wofu brawl,
Ind mouth like CLAIMS when IFS crying;
But when Monday comes, he's up with the sun,
His religion is over, his work begun,
And you'd think thai there wasn't a world but one
And he hadn't thought of dying.
You would think he was sorry he'd lost day,
As he rushes and rattles and drives away,
As he gives the poor orphan a crusiy '.nay,"
And the widow vinegar greeting;
And he bargains and sells. and collects his rent,
Nor tears no, petitions can make him reen',
Till he gets in his pocket each doubtful cent,
Though he wouldn't be seen i cheating!
And Tuesday, and Wednesday, and all the week,
He doesn't know Gentle. nor Jew, nor Creek,
Nor care whom he robs of the last beef-steak,
Nor the last poor bore of fire;
But Hezesdh is piolIs, very!
For who in The world ever saw him merry2
And he looks as forlon as dromedary,
And his voice, of its.lf, is choir.
