FROM THE. VILLAGE RECORD. BOB FLETCHER. I once knew a plough aun.Bob Fletcher his name, Who was old, & was ugly, and so was his dame; Yet they lived quite contented, and free from all strife. Bob Fletcher the ploughman, and JudyChis wife. As the morn streaked the east, and the night fled away, They would rise up for labor, refre&hed for the day: The song of the lark, as it rose on the gale, Found Uob at his plough, and his wife at the pail. A neat little cottage io front of a grove, Where in youth they first gave their young hearts up to love. Was the solace of age, & to them doubly dear, As it called up the past with a smile or a tear. Each tree had its thought, an! the vow could impart, That mingle in youth the warm wish of the heart; The thorn was still there, and The blossom it bore, And the song from its top seemed the same a before. . When the curtain of night over ruture was spread. And Bub had returned from his plough to his shed, Like the dova on her nest, he reposed from all care; If his wife and bis youngsters contented were there. X have passed by his door when the evening was And the hill and the landscape were f ading way, And have heard from the cottage, with grateful surprise, The voice of thanksgiving, like incense arise. And I thought 09 the proud, who would look down with scorn. On the neat little cottage, the grave & the thorn, And felt that the riches and follies of life, Were dross to contentment like Bob Sc his wife. MATRIMONIAL WISHES.

H tmsk. From the Button Mercury, A TALE OF A BAG OF BEAJYS, OR JOE BUNKER'S CGL'RTSHir. There was a body met a body fo a bag of beans, Can a body tell a body What a body oieaoa. Old Song. Everybody in (he county. of Essex has heard of Joe. Bunker, and the quips aud cranks by him enacted. Id truth he was a famous fellow in his day, eo noted for his bu9h-whacking rusticity of breeding thai his name has passed into a proverb made him immortal. Joe Bunkers character is now regarded by all the old crones and gossips in the North East cor ner of Massachusetts as the bau idal of a genuine unsophisticated Yankee clodhopper. ' Bis fame for ten mils round the country ran, .And all tun old ladies called him a queer man. He wa3 the first murtai iu tiiese prtriithat ever picked his teeth with a wooden Bhoe. Various other fashions introduc ed by him are in the rememberance of many but it is not our purpose now to specify them. The story of his courtchip and the bag of beans is not so common, it runs thus: It was sometime in the month of April or May, or at any rate, just at the time of the planting of beans, of all the days in the year of a Sunday, that Joe being al a meeting, spied Colonel Shute's daughter liannah. It was in prayer time; (they make terrible long prayers in that part of tbe country) and Joe was hanging over the pew door in about the shape of a figure 5, tired to death and wriggling himself about in as awkward and slouching a fashion as can well be imagined. Joe looked aLHannab,and Hannah looked at Joe. It is pretty certain that the little hedgehog Cuppid shot off a pair of his quills at the same instant, for Hannah was struck with a very queer sensation, and as for Joe, he felt something which he could not describe, except by saying that it was a kind of ail-overness like. This ig all we happened to know of the first item in this chapter of accidents. 1 ne next morning Joe lay in the bed so long that his Cither began to grumble, and presently his mother came up stairs. Come Joer said she, get up and go to planting jour beans. I Vn'l 6aid -I am sick. SiV! What's ihe matter with you? What ails you! 1 don't know what aiU me; I don't Tvant to tell. Don't want to tell! a fiddlestick; let lis know what it is? Joe hid his face under the blanket for sometime, and at last blubbered out, "I want to go and eeo the Colonel's Han-

nab.1' Down goes tbe old woman and re

ports proceedings to her husband. What, said old Bunker, he go to see the Colonel's Hannah! tell him to come instantly and plant his beans. The old woman runs back and tells this to Joe. But Joe was hard to work upon. He was granate ; he was adamant ; there was no softening him, no moving !him. You might as easily have shouldered Oldtown Hill from its foundation as have made him start a peg. 1 won't goto planting beans; I will go to see the Colonel's Han nah. This was all she could get out of him, and so she paddled off again to her husband. Really, Mr. Bunker, there's no getting Joe to mind: he says he won't ga Jto planting beans nor touch to; and he will go and see the Colonel s liannah. Now do let the poor boy have his way for once, remember you was once a young man yourself. This was bringing the matter home, and 01 i Bunker tho' he was no logician, nor irnained how the thing could be proved in Baralipton or Ferita, yet he thought the reasoning so pat to the purpose that he fairly yielded. Well, well, let him take Dobbin and go, but not stay long. But, said Joe on hearing this, I won't go without ( can go crand, and I won't have Dobbinf OiFgoes the oil woman once more with this intelligence. Well then, said old Bunker, he may go grand and let him fake old Bob. But I won't rid. upon old Bob said Joe, I'll have Possett. Then take P sseit, says his father, aud make hasie back. Hereupon Joe began fo bustle about with all speed, and bedized himself o'it in his Sunday beat. He was a strapping bony, long-sided fellow It would do you good to see him dressed in the fashion of that day, astride of his nag. Joe had just bestowed a hearty kick upon the ribs of his Rozinante at setting out for the Colonel's when old Bunker bawled after him, Halloo, Joe! stop there, come back again--You are going by Pearson's mill, and you shall take a couple cf bags of corn to be ground, while you go to the Colonel's: and bring it back with you when you come away; so you can kill two dogs with one stone. Joe was inclined to demur to ihis plan of mixing business, but hating to waste time arguing with his father, he assented, and shambling off to the barn brought out his two bags and bestowed them snugly en croupe. Thus fairly accoutred, he trotted off to the mill. Pearson, can ye gri- d my prist while I go to Colonel Slmtc's? Yes, Joe, but what are ye going a courting for, so early? Oh, who the dickens told you? Never mind, Joe, pluck up courage faint heart never won fair lady. Thank ye for nothing," said Joe "I shall be back in an hour. Doivt let your horse eat out of ihe hopper. So effhe started for the Colonel's. Joe bolted in at the Colonel's door without knocking. (Indeed it is affirmed he never was known to be guilty of making such a superfluous noise in all his iife.) "Ah Mrs. Shute, the top of the morning to ye; w here's Hannah V9 "Ah Joe Bunker! is that you? wbere's Hannah ? why she's up stairs a spinning." At this Joe stumped off up btairs without any further idle palavar. Hannah9 wheel wa3 humming right merrily when Joe entered. She blushed hke a blu'f cabbage upon seeing him. "How d'ye do Hannah," said Joe, and shamming up towards the window, he slouched himself into a marvellous!) uncomfortable skewing position on the cor ner of a chair. Well! now was Joe fairly seated along I f l -v 1 ... . " siae oi nis uuicinea; but how to begin conversation ah, there was the difficulty. What was he to say? Indeed he had never thought of that. However, he looked out of the window, and saw a flock of sheep: there is nothing like taking a hint from the first thing that offers Are these your father's sheep, Haunah? Yes Joe. Joe gave ahem, and tried to think of something else to say about the sheep such as, ho much wool they gave, and whether they were of the Bytield breed; but h could not make it fadge. Presently he espied some cows - Are th se your cows? Yes. How many cows have you got? Twenty. Twenty! that's a tarnation lot of 'em. Here was another pause in the conversation, and Joe felt more awkward than ever. As for Hannah, she did not feel altogether quite so sheepish. Joe looked out of the window aain, but could see nothing to talk of. & He looked round the room, and up to the ceiling, but there was nought save a seed cucumber, three red peppers, and a crookednecked squash. They would not suit. He drummed with his. fingers upon the table, and begun unconsciously to whittle a stave of 'The tqngs and the bones;' this quavered away into Yankee Doodle, and twullv he fou d himself! humming a mixture of Old Hundred and Little Muribcrough.

At last he was struck with an idea, and out it came Did you ever see a crow ! Yes. How black they are! a'nt they? Yes. Another pause. Joe began to wipe his forehead with his coat sleeve. Pre

sently the aoDaration of another idea dawned upon him. Did you eer see an owl? Yes. What great eyes they've got! a'nt they? Yes. Do vou love maple sugar, Hannah? Yes". Next time I come, I'll bring you a great gob, o . ...... . Joe fairly made a fiit in this remark, for he touched upon a sweet subject and it completely broke the ice. Remem bering the advice of the miUer, he pluck ed up courage and stooa Don upngnt;i then making a sidel ng blundering sort till!- A
