OHON BULL was a choleric old
fellow who held a good manor
in the middle of a great mill
pond and which by reason of
its being quite surrounded by water
was generally called Bullock island.
Bull was an ingenious man, an exceed-
ingly good blacksmith, a dexterous
cutler and a notable weaver besides.
He also brewed capital porter, ale and
small beer and was, in fact. a sort of
Jack-of-all-trades and good at each.
In addition to these he was a hearty
fellow, a jolly companion and passably
honest as the times went. But what
tarnished all these qualities was an ex-
ceedingly quarreisome, overbearing dis-
position, which was always getting him
into some scrape or other.
The truth is he never heard of a
quarrel going on among his neighbors
but his fingers itched to take a part in
' it. so that he was hardly ever Seen
without a broken head. a black eye or
a bloody nose.
Such was Squire Bill, as he was com

‘rumbling. boasting old codgers that
never get credit forggvhat they are be-
cause they are always pretending to
pe what they are not. The squire was
as tight a hand to deal with indoors as
out, sometimes treating his family as
if they were not the same flesh and
blood when they happened to differ
with him in certain matters.
One day he got into a dispute with
his youngest son, Jonathan, who was
familiarly called Brother Jonathan. He
fell upon him and beat him soundly.
After this he made the house so dis-
agreeable to him that Jonathan. though
as hard as a pine knot and as tough
as leather, could bear it no longer
Taking his gun and his ax, he put
himself into a boat and paddled over
the mill pond to some new lands to
which the squire pretended to have
some sort of claim. Jonathan intend-
ed to settle the lands. When he got
over he found that the land was quite
in a state of nature, covered with wood
and inhabited only by wild beasts.
But, being a lad of spirit, he took his
ax on one shoulder and his gun on
the other, marched into the thickest
of the wood and. clearing a place, built
a log hut. Pursuing his labors and
handling his ax like a notable wood-
man. he in a few years cleared the
land, which he laid out into thirteen
good farms. and building himself a
large house. which he partly finished,
began to be quite snug.
But Squire Bull, who was getting old
and stingy and besides was in great
want of money on account of bis hav-
' ing lately been ‘made to pay heavy
damages for assaulting his neighbors
and breaking their heads—the squire. 1

to do in the world. began to be very
So
he demanded that Jonathan should pay
him a good rent for the land which he
had cleared and made good for some
thing.
He made up 1 know pot what claim
against him and under different pre
tenses managed to pocket all Jona
than's honest gains. In fact, the poor
lad had not a shilling left for holilay
occasions, and had it not been for the
filial respect he felt for the old man
he would certainly have refused to
submit to such impositions. But for
all this in a little time Jonathan grew
