Strana 5 - DEAR COUSIN EPHRAIM: — I now take my pen in hand to let you know that I am well, hoping these few lines will find you enjoying the same blessing. When I come down to Portland I didn't think o' staying more than three or four days, if I could sell my load of ax handles, and mother's cheese, and cousin Nabby's bundle of footings; but when I got here I found Uncle Nat was gone a freighting down to Quoddy, and...
Strana 55 - That a tax on old bachelors' pates should be laid ; And, in order to make them all willing to marry, The tax was as large as a man could well carry. The bachelors grumbled, and said...

Strana 55 - And presently all the old maids in the town Each in her very best bonnet and gown, From thirty to sixty, fair, plain, red and pale, Of every description, all flocked to the sale. The auctioneer then in...
Strana 10 - I'll give you my watch and five dollars ; says I, it's done ! He gave me the five dollars, and I gave him my watch. Now, says I, give me your watch; and, says he, with a loud laugh, I han't got none, and that kind a turned the laugh on me.
Strana 10 - Boston with the ax handles, we all thought best to try our luck there. Nothing happened worth mentioning on the road, nor till next morning after I got here and put up in Elm street. I then got off my watch pretty curiously, as you shall be informed. I was down in the...
Strana 4 - He told me that he had so good spies, that he hath had the keys taken out of De Witt's pocket when he was a-bed, and his closet opened and papers brought to him and left in his hands for an hour, and carried back and laid in the place again, and keys put into his pocket again.
