And feeling in a kicking mood,
Kick'd over quite a lot of tea.
The tea belonged to Johnny 13u11,
A gentletnan of lordly mind ;
Who swore he'd treat the Yankees soon
To kicks otglite another kind.

So Johnny soon Legn* to kick,
And for awhile kick'd stout;
But getting sadly kick'd in turn,
Cried ' , hold my friend don't kick me out."
Hie- friends however, kick'd away, o
Till Johnny uit the coast, and run ;
Well convinced, (as history tcils,)
He'd had enough of Yankee fun.
When John got back with visage bruised,
On his small farm beyond the sea;
His hired men made up their minds,
Their ..bnss" had been on quite a spree.

'Then, 64r, you wl/S1 have so me recollee.

'And where were you, sir ?'

'Yes, said he, laughing heartly.—.Cros

So saying I offered hint a cig ,r, which he
declined, and said—
.lf the landlord has a pipe,•l will prefer
it. I should like to tell you,' he continued
'a little circumstance which took place be
tween General Washingto., and myself.'
I observed that I should be delighted to
hear it, and he related the following history
of a day in the General's employment.
'Well, one morning, father told me to
take the black mare to Sing Sing, and get
her shod, and wait till old ruin nose Ben, the
blacksmith, shod her. So [ stood at the

pass into the back room, and the landlord
followed and in a few seconds, the landlord
beckoned int. from the piazza. I felt fright

but thinks I they want some grog and fresh
water. I was in my shirt and trowsers,
without shoes, and on my head an old cocked
hat, and my feet and ancles you may judge.
I . had been hoeing corn in the morning ; but
I went. As I approached the square liar,
I met the landlord ; he said ;
.There are two gentlemen in the back
room who wish to sec . you.'
Unable to smother a laugh, I said—.My
God ! can't go, see me, at the same time ex
hibiting myself and pointing to my feet.
'Come along, I'll go with you.'
So in he went.

the room ; and the General began (for it
was Washington himsell)—
Young man I wish to procure the news
paper of to-day from New York, can you
procure it for me.' •
I hesitated a moment and replied—
I, think I can, sir.'
