will prescribe the nimble eaihariie and

will wrench the bowels Nv North castor,
and make bisiness for the undertaken.
BY the way, If the undertaken hez an in-
terest in your cOnhDyOoance here, he

The frame NV mind Nv this physician
may be inferred from the fact that he
didn't see the sarcasm Nv this remark.
But it cooden, hev bin expected.
IAN honest man Is the noblcst work NV
God, and gold from the crucible, "groaned
he. "Is there other important remarks
that must make?"
"None. These are the reglars aud

The night came. The school-hOuse
wuz iluminaied-ihc tables wuz orna-
mentel with flowers; the Ames were
grouped. the clergyman offered up bis lit
tie prayer, and the eatin wended. AtIts
concoesin the Doctor rose, and addressln
the great and good Ames, remarked that
his friends and neighbors had met that
they mite extend to him the hand NV vel
come that they met CO friends and neigh
bors, TO show him that they he'd the most
perfect confidence in his honesty and in
tecrity, and that while wicked men he'd
cndeavored 10 blast his fair name, North
Easton he'd alluz looked upon him ez au
honest man, which wuz the noblest work

intcnden NV the east shop, and three
cheers proposed by the second book-kecp-
er in the factory) But ez there wuz 9TH

wood close oy proposing ez a sentiment,
Hon. Cakes Ames, like gold from the
crocodile, he ez passed the fiery ordeal,
and comes out purer and brighter than
ever"
The Doctor sat down the most depres-
sed man ev.r saw. But he he'd done
all tibet VIC expected nv him. He he'll
got in both quotasheus, and his speech, cz
he spoke it, didn't vary materially from
the slips which had been printed the day
4forc the banquet, for the press.
Our guest replied, ,haukin them for
the spontaneous triboot, which wuz the
more gratifying bccoz it wuz spontane
GUS and unsought. He wuz strong in the
consciousness Nv rectitood. True, he he'd
seld stock to mcnbe.s Nv Congress for
less than it wuz worth. but wuz that brib.
cry? He trusted his viudicashcn 10 his
friends and neighber'.
Other speeches wuz nude. The dclam-
ers Nv the great and COOL man were de-
nounced ez pururcd villains, and the
building Nv all the public works Nv the
country from the Erie canal to date. were
ascribod to his ability, BY the enthusiastic
agents Nv the factory. So complimentary
we're these speeches that l, myself got to
feelin that in the articles NV Roman integ-
rity and truth and SIGH, the late G. Wash.
ington was thief beside MIR. Ames.
One enthusiastic man, the principal Of
MIR. Ames' school read poem NV his own,
in which Mr.. Ames, was crowned with
laurels and fuchor ages doing homage to
him. witch wuz au exceedn wretched Of
ter for a man on so small salary. But
he knew how to make his station perma.

AT ii a. H.. this spontaneous re oepshuu
wuz over. The servants Nv the great and
good Ames carefully gathered up the
dishes and spoons and SIGH and took chi
back to the Ames manshun-the frag-
ments WIZ collected in largo baskets for
the great and good mans pigs and pou'-
try-for the great man is thrifty, and
wont waste nothn-he distributed the
flowers among the ladies, aud Moth Eas-
ton retired to IFS virchuoous couch The
resepshun wuz success. and it didn't
cost the Ames to exceed $500, including
my charges for arranging it,
