"Well," says he, "Major, that 6 sound doctrine too, and thak Ikas,the doc trine of all the Presidents, and they acted on it from General NVashington's time down to the last day of Mr. Adams' Ad ministration ; and if by chance a sly chap and a rogue got in, they would twist him out on the first discovery of his pranks. But since that time new experiments have been tried, and if you will go back here to old Joe Simons' farm, you will see about the same result of an experiment he made. He hail a beautiful grove of solid oaks, and he thought by cutting them all down a new grove of as good oaks Inuid grow in their place, for his boys—but it turned out that scrub pines only came up where his oaks stood." "Why," says I, "Gineral, what an eternal fool he was— for any man who knows any thing about nOur knows that. But," says I, "I sup. pose lie knows how to get oaks back again, and that is by grubbing upthe scrub pines." "Yes Major," says Oil General, "that is the only way, but old Joe won't believe it, and is now grumbling with his boys, who insist on doing it." "Well," says I,' Gin eral, I hope the boys will carry the day." "I hope so too," says the Gineral, "and they are not the only boys, Major, who are engaged in the same business all over the country—for grubbing out scrub pines seems now the work of all, as the only mode of regaining a good thrifty growth o solid oak, such as we have had.—And this is more important to the boys who are coming into possession of the farms, than to the old folks, whose folly, and wicked ness, and stubborness, and ignorance, have nigh upon turned all the oak groves into pine barrens." Just then.who should come in but three of old Joe Simons' sons—Benjamin, and Caleb and Gerrge, good spry six footers every one on'em, to ask the Gineral if he would spare me for a day or so to help them grub up—and the Gineral said by ell roes'', was willing, and I said wasn't so good a hand at grubbing as at ehopting, but having a special spite against SCRUB enrico, I'd try my hand at bolt grubbing and chopping, to get clear of the cements, any how. And now, it a!! p..rt.i of creation will only turn to and make as good a day's work as we shall to-morrow scrub pines will be scarce by next grass, or I aint your friend and feller-citizen. J.
