Tells us Autumn's here.

Through the vales ;
And the forest trees are groaning

to give him time and he would leave the
apartment ; although it was the one he
had engaged—he'd make an oath to
that.

reply 'to this kindly proposition_

W* pieces of colico on his shelves
whentheiriCes began to advance. lie
obs:o4 at the old rates, and said he—
eWheii went to, de city to, buy more,
de inoiieY,dat I got; for my ton pieces of
calico' bought only eight. I took my
eight 'pieces home, and marked a high
profit on 'em, and sold dem fast enough,
and 'w en dey'wes all gone, I took my
money and went to de city, and by dun
der; it bought only six pieces: Well,
fink`s'T, dis is making money backwards.
:But I' tobli l my six piece's home, and put
au a'wfut big profit on dem ; and now,
tiolisA,`l"must make money like smoke.
1 gut when I got dem six pieces sold, I
took i de.money I got for 'em to de city
again, Etpcl.thieught I would get about
twelve pieces, but the calicoes.had gone
.ap again, and I got only four pieces.
Well, I took dem home, put on a much
bigger profit as I did before , and thought
now 1 makes a heap of money. But
when .1 get dem [sold and, went after
more, Ae calicoes had gone] up again,
and L hope I may never die if I got more
As two pieces, for my money. So here I
was,, i I . bad ten pieces of calico when I
started off,to ',em, and here 1 am
now mit only two ( pieces and no money.
'Why, should haf been better off if I
had shot up, de store, keep:my calicoes,
and not sold dem at all."
