His cheeks so loosely plump, and his front so ponderously corpulent, did dance most giotious'.y to the internal glee of his heart. 1 was half astonished, and tickled, at his inexplicable merriment. "It's droll, uncle, an't it ?" ejaculated I, attcr waiting some time in vain, for the end ot bis comic performance. 4Yes, ooy, ha ! ha ! ha !" and he, as if excited to fresh effort, roared even louder than before ; but throwing his head back with a tiiumphant flourish, to give force and freedom to his mirth, he unfortu

Never did a ripe pumpkin put forth a
more pithy bump ! bum ! or utter a
more eloquent ventriloquial rumble, than did uncle Jerry, as his rounded pudding stuffed corporation emptied out of
the locking chair on the floor. Away
he rolled with as much veiocity as our

Looking at him with an ex prcssinn of half condolence, I again hailed him, with, "It's droll, an't it uncle Jerry ?" He said not a word but rubbed his head and sighed. I picked up the pocketbook, and saw that what had giv en cause to so much both of merriment and sadness, was, in truth, nothing but a tude sketch with a pencil, of a woman standing up, and a man lying down -Now, there was nothing very marvellous in all this ; but yet uncle Jerry, in spite of his recent misfortune, seemed hard
tempted to burst out a laughing again when I handed it back to him. "Ah
Dorothy," said he, seating himself and si-aking his head, "Ah Dorothy, Dorothy ! this an't the first ti'iie you've floored me." "Why aunt Dorothy is dead ; she can't hurt you " ' Yes, yes ; she's dead, and it's all for the best.no doubt, for she used to make a terrible racket here on earth.

Well suppose you plant a hundred hills just round the house ; that would'nr be much work, you can ho'em before bteakfast any time that would m?ke five hundred bushels, that is, one hundred bushels for your own use, and four to sell.
