This is next to hunting for coal! Poh! poh! my dear cousin, hear reason, and leave the management of the sugar- bush to me. Here is Mr. Le Quoi he has been in the West Indies, and has seen sugar made. Let him give an account of how it is made there, and you will hear the philosophy of the thing.

'A recent purchase, and a great bargain. He is good-looking, has the advantage of being deaf and dumb, and is harmless in every respect. ''Tis a pity, replied the lady; 'it seems that all good-looking people are born to be useless. I, for instance. 'Yet rumour whispers the reverse, remarked the physician. 'How so? inquired the lady. 'The young King of Karasmé. 'Poh!
"She's real hand- some and bright, and not very black, either." "Yes," rejoined Mary; "that's just like you, Jack. She'll be of no use at all these three years, right under foot all the time." "Poh! Miss Mary; if she should stay, it wouldn't be two days before you would be telling the girls about OUR nig, OUR nig!" retorted Jack. "I don't want a nigger 'round ME, do you, mother?" asked Mary.
"Your master, I s'pose, don't keep no dogs," said Haley, thoughtfully, as he prepared to mount. "Heaps on 'em," said Sam, triumphantly; "thar's Bruno he's a roarer! and, besides that, 'bout every nigger of us keeps a pup of some natur or uther."

While they were playing in the hay-field, or taking supper "up in the trees," now and then they would hear the tired cry of the darling sick baby. Then Grace would clasp her hands together in her quick way, and say, "O dear, dear, I wish the doctor would get Harry well." "Poh!" said Horace, "the doctors they have East ain't no 'count, are they, though, Gracie?"
I never believed the former theory, even when that strange madman bade me do it. And what a thick, turbid matter it was, until that last ingredient, that powder which he put in with his own hand! Had he let me see it, I would first have analyzed it, and discovered its component parts. The man was mad, undoubtedly, and this may have been poison. But its effect is good. Poh!
"Miss Mary said there would be an effervescence, which would be occasioned by the little bubbles of choke damp, coming up from the chalk." "Poh!" said Dorothy; "it's nothing but a little frothing." "It isn't frothing," said Rollo, very seriously; "it isn't frothing, it is effervescence. Don't you think Miss Mary knows?"
You don't know that, 'cause you ain't got real good sense, Tusk, but it's so. 'Sides that, some business dealin's has to go through a third party. That's how he done when he made Dawson buhn you out, didn't he?" "When he what?" Tusk glared. "Why, durn yoh poh haid, don't you know he wants yoh land for the railroad?
I told a little boy a fairy story once, and he went right off and whispered to his mother that I was a very wicked lady, for that story wasn't true, not a bit; and if a baby six months old should hear it, he wouldn't believe a word of it!" "Poh! he was a smart boy," cried Horace. "So I am afraid to tell fairy stories since that, for I don't like to be called a wicked lady, you know."
Now it happened that grandma Read had taken a great deal of pains to teach Prudy to knit; but such a piece of work as the child made of it! The first time she carried the thing which she supposed was going to be a stocking, the A B C scholars looked very much surprised, for none of them knew how to knit. Prudy said, "Poh, I know how to do it just as easy!"
