that big ripe melon down at the bottom of thel
_arden ? you may pis Well carry* over there
in the morning.' • His wife said she would,
without asking ; bin] to explain where ' over I
there' was.
But when the morning came Reuben walk- ,
ed hack and forth and round and round, with
that sort of aimless activity, often manifested 1
by hens, and fashionable idlers, 'who feel rest-
less, and don't know what to rim after. At
length,the cause of his uncertain movements was
explained, by his saying, in the form of a qiiFs-
tion, ',I guess I may as well carry the meion I
myself, and.thank ham for his oxen ? In my 1
flurry down thereim the 'marsh, I didn' think
to say I was obliged to him.' 1
He marched off towiard the gaiden, and his
wife stood at the door, with one hand on her
hip, and the other abiding the sun from her
eyes, to sea if he would really carry the melon'
into Simeon Green's house. It was the most
remarkable incident that had happened since
her marriage. She could hardly believe her'
own eyes.. He walked quick, as if afraid he
should not be able to- carry the usual impulse
into action if be stopped to consider the ques
tion. When he found himself in Mr. Green's
house, be felt extremely awkward, and hastlin

Without manifesting any surprise at such Un

A most striking picture of thefpriv s ations and
sacrifices of this hardy and peculiar race of men
is given by Mr. Abbott :
A man was speaking a few, &lye ago of the
emotions with which, he was overwhelmed
when he bade adieu to his &mil, on his last
voyage. The ship in which..l4lras to sail was,
at Edgarton,on Martha's Vineyaid. The pack- .

straggling in vain to restrain he tears. _ - _ :1
She had an infant a, few mont s old in her
arms, and with lier-fixit was roe, ing the cradle
in which lay another little daugh r about three
years of age with her cheeks hl:-with a
