W.. won't with friend, in red buggy,
and gav horse. We observed, first, that
tho clouds, in their "garnered fuIluess, >
Ind poured out the genial rain over noun
rain and valley, and green woods and
green fields, and into the beds of lc"ping
md laughing brooks, and the whole face

or bloom. Second, that "hypcrborean
gale had been piping around and roaring
among tue great trees, splitting them up
and throwing them about, and that the
waters had prevailed upon the earth ex-
ccedingly, leaving drift wood upon the
high roads, tearing away the dams, and
mining the low lands. Third, that gen
tlemeu from the Isle Of Erin were rebuild
ing the dams to the Mills, many of which
were not worth dam, having been dam
aged to an irrcpNrable extent.
We passed an eight by ten school
house with pctticoats for window blinds.
The school marin had inst concluded ad-
mins.cring the condign 10 a small boy
who was giving vent to his feelings i'll a
liberal flow of tears in a fence corner
The marin, 1t white joseyed, neat little
body. scarcely older than the pupils, was
nlaving with the rest of the children on
the green. They were playing a play
where they form ring, and one touches
another and runs, aud the one touched
runs after the TOUGHER. We stopped n
moment to admire the prospect in general
AID the displ,y of hosiery in particular,
and the red buggy proceeded We ar

fabulous stories. We divided the labors.
Onr friend was TO get the poles-wc the
bats. WeprocCcded to enterthe bowels of
the earth by means of pick, kindly loan
ed by an Irish dam builder, who selfish
ly and fundamentally took it upon himself
to presume tina, we could be base enough
TO toat whisky. We got one worm, and
laid the Shiny thing down upon the earth
and proceeded to dig for another. When
we had captured another we discovered
that number one had squrmed around in
an insane manner, and re-cutered the
earth This occurred several times. We
were in quandary. We solicited our
friend, in very gentlcmanly manner, to
come and watch the worms, which he very
abruptly refused TO do, unless upon COM
pulsion, prefrrring to rest his body upon
an ancient root, in imitation of a letter z,
and affect to be highly amused.
We scorned his assistance when we
found We couldn't get it, and dug worms
ina desperate manner, producing tue nasty
things in such abundance that they were
in each others way aud could not all c. :

ped line "hoping 10 find the Iinny tribe
in the same state OF health" We ished
and fshed. There were nothing but min
hows-myriads Of nibbling minnows.-
They had not, apparently, tasted food for
several weeks. After feeding away about
barrel Of worms, and digging up an acre
or SO Of ground, we began TO experience
some slight symptoms of Indignation
Job, in the sorcst stage of his carbuncles
could not have remained patient. One
mlnnow, which if possible, seemed more
voracious than the rest, excited our spe-
cal indignation. In the heat OF passion,
We regret t" say, we hooked him in the
bowels, and instead of feeling that keen
anguish generally excited by Il sense OF
guilt, we glUried rcmorselessly in the act
-sller serving several other minnOws in the
same way. and having walked out some dis
lance upon log, We were amazed to find
our retreat cut off by the discovery of q
humble bees nest and two cursed snakes
IN the root of the fallen tree over which we
mad passed. The alternative of taking
l0nr feet Of water or being bitten by the
images of Satan or stung to death by
humble bees, waa presented. We chose
Tue former, and after bufeting with the
waves Of the raging canawl," we reached
the shore in safety, firmly convinced that
