THE JOSH BILLIXtiS PAPERS.
k Tara—The iaat aad the t>r ass hopper.
Once on a previous time, alxmt 400,000
years ago, in the old of the moon, during
a dry spell of weather, just after a hard
frost when grass butter was slues, while
venus was an evening star, an old ant,
who had lost awl her front teeth, and was
twisted with the rhum&tis, sot in an easv
chair, near the front door of an ant hill,
superintending a phatt kurnell of wheat,
wich the vung ants were trieing to get
down cellar into their houtje.
Just flien along cum a loafing grass
hopper, smoking a pipe, and singing,
"Begone dull care, 1 pray thee begone
from me,” and spieing the old aunt, giv
ing orders tew the young aunts, he
stopped to have a talk with her.
“Good morning, old mother Industry,
good morning?” said the grassbug. "A
line cornel of wheat that, yu are rolling
iu!”
“Have yu herd the grate news?
“Predfnl sharp frost last night!
“Winter will soon set i in reckon!
“1 hefd the owls hute last nite!
“Terribel bad aekidenl on the Harlem
road yesterday!
“When dew yu think specie payment
will be took up?
“Thare! my pipe has gone out, kant
yu lend me a match?
“llow menny aunts hav yu got in yure
village ?
“Enny sickness amongst them ?
“I wander if there iz enny truth in the
dispatch that the pissmires, down om
Sandy Creek, hav all struck for higher
wages ?
“Who do yu think yure ants will vote
for, for justiss uv the peace ?
“What is yure solid Opinyun ov the
new license law, will it make rum anny
skarser ?
“Do you buy enny grocerys ov old
Ferguson, i hope not, he is a mean old
skinflinter, he sold me only last week a
pece ov bar soap for some beeswax.
“The world iz gitting more full of wuss
ucss every day!
“I wonder if there iz any truth in what
everybuddy sez alxmt old Square Benson,
that he kant pay, only now and then some
of his debts!
“Do you see much of the krickets now
adays ?
“I should really like tew know how
he is gitting along; rather tuff times for
them, I guess, yu dont think they will
winter, do yu ?
“When does the moon change nowa
days ?
“Hav yu got any onion seed tew spare
that yu kan rekommend?
“Dew yu think England will ever pay
the Alabarmer klaims ?
“I kant see what makes the cockroaches
so stuck up, I met one this morning, and
before 1 could put two civil questions at
him he wuz out ov sight.
“Sum folks are in sich a swetting hur
ry!
“Aiut thare sum good law agin the
spiders bildin their webs in the grass?
“How much wheat haz yure aunts got
laid up; yu must hev sum tu spare ?
“I wonder if it wont up and rain, before
tomorrow ?
“They tell me that maple sugar iz a
drug in the market, owing to Its peculiar
muchness; yu kant tell, kan you, whether
this iz so or not, i wish vou could!
“Mi opinyun now iz that he who lives
to see next year, will see buckwheat a
