From the Charleston Courier. ON SECE1VING THE LINES "SMALLSIZED. LADIES." In a little piece'of 'oetry Sent kindly unto me, I see that small sized ladies Are duly.prized by thee. All tiny things of value rare Are semblances I find, Of charming little women; well Compar'd by some bright mind. As a little drop of water That sparkles in the sun, Pres~nts as many brilliant tints As eyescan gaze upon So in a pleasant little word Much meaning may be found; We warm or chill a human heart By one Iuch breath or sound. If in a little grain of sand An embryo mount we see, - And in the acorn at our feet . The oak's futurity -o in a little sentenced oft - A volueni may be read, A dainty, mental, feast, by which Imaginations feed. The generous soul would fain expand All things to its own size, And nobly scatter precious seed The heart to fertilize; Taking no thought of who was small .Or great, but by their deeds Planting flowers, in kindly soil While trampling on the weeds. Coimanding me' and noble dames Are pleasant sights to see, But those who are not quite so great Are just as dear to me. Al ! many of our sex there are, With loving hearts and true. Who, though but little women, still God's own creation too! Accept then, thanks from one and all The little things of earth; Thou, who proclaimest far and wide Their virtue and their worth And thanks to him who sent to me Those goods Ideas of thine, For such a simple, pretty gift, Fresh, from a poet's shrine. WONDERFUL An Englishman who was travelling on the Mississippi river told some rather tough stories about the London thieves. A Cin. cinnati chap named Case heard these narra tives with a silent but expressive humph! and then remarked that he thought the Western thieves beat the London operators all hollow. "How so?" inquired the Englishman with surprise. "Pray sir, have you lived much in the west." " Not a great deal. I undertook to set up business at the Des Moines Rapids a while ago, but the rascally people stole nearly everything I had and finally a Welsh miner ran off with my wifc." "Good God !" said the Englishman. " And you have never found her 'I" " Never, to this day. But that was not the worst of it." " Worst. Why, what could be worse than stealing a man's wife ?i" "Stealing his children, I should say," said the implacable Case. " Children ?" " Yes, a nigger wvoman, who hadn't any of her own, abducted my youngest daugh ter, and sloped and jined the injins." " Did you see her ?" "See her ? Yes ; and she hadn't ten rods the start of me ; but plunged into the lake and swam off like a duck, and there wasn't a canoe to follow her with." The Englishman leaned back in his chair and called for another mug of 'alf-and alf; while Case smoked his cigar and credulous friend at the same time most remorselessly. "I-I shan't go any further West-i think," at length observed the excited Johr Bull. "I should not advise any one to go,' said Case, quietly. " My brother once liv ed there but he had to leave although his business was the best in the country." "What business was he in, pray ?" "Lumbering-had a saw-mill." " And they stole his lumber ?" " Yes, and saw logs, too." "Saw, logs." " Yes; whole dozens of the black walnut logs were carried away in a single night.' " Is it possible ?" " True u~pon mny honor, sir. Hie tried every way to prevent it, had men hired to watch his logs, but it was all of no use. They would whip them away as easily as ii there had been nobody there. They would steal them out of the river, out of the cove. and even out of the railways." " Good gracious." " Just to give you an idea how they car steal there," sending a sly wink at the lis tening company, "just to give you an ides -did you ever work in a saw-mill ?" "Never." " Well, one day mny brother bought an alfired fine black walnut log-four feet three at the butt, and not a knot in it. He was determined to keep that log any how, and .hired two Scotchmen to watch it all night. Well, they took a small demijohn of whais key with them, snaked the log up the side of the hill above the mill, built a fire, and then sat down on the log to play keerds, just to keep awake, you see. 'Twas a mon strous big. log-bark two inches thick, Well, as 1 was saying, they played keerds and drank whiskey all ~night, and as it be. gan to grow light, went to sleep a straddle of the log. A bout a minute after daylight George went over to the mill to see how they were getting along and the log was gone !" " What were the Sootchmnen doing?" " Sitting on the bark. -The thieves had dr'ove an iron wedge into the butt end, which pointed down hill and hitched a yoke of oxen on, and pulled it right out, leaving the shell and Scotchers sitting a straddle of it, fast asleep !" The Englishman here rose, dropped his cigar stump into the spittoon, and looking at his watch, said he thought he would go on deck and see how far we'd be down the river before morning. A contemporary, describing.a dance at a village in the neighborhood, said : " The gorgeous strings of glass beads glistened on the heaving bosoms of the village belles, like polished rubies, on the delicate surface of warm apple dumplings. " WHAT are you about, my dear?"' said his grandmother to a little boy who was sliding along the room, and casting furtive glances at a gentleman who was paying a visit. -"I am trying.to steal patpa's..hat out of the room without l'etting the gentleman .ee it Ir papa wants him tn think he's nn. THEl 1A 1 iEIEb T .1LAY IN GREY'SILL The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, in referring to the fact that the Ilon. James Quiggle, forinerly a member of the Pennsylvania Senate from Clinton and Centre counties, had taken up his residence in the "Quaker City," relates the following anecdote: Some years since, on the road from Lan caster to Philadelphia, on a blazing hot sum mer day, Judge Jim Pollock, (your present Governor,) Hon. Jim Quiggle, (then plain Lawyer Quiggle,) and your correspondent, who knew the former well, but not the lat ter, were alone in the rearmost car of the train. Jim Pollock was looking out of the car window, at a place where the train stop ped to water, -when suddenly he drew his white handkerchief from his pocket, and be. gan vigorously waving it in the air, at the same time bobbing his head out of the win dow in a very vigorous manner. "What are you about, Judge'" asked Mr. Q., without raising from his seat. "Why, don't you see, yonder'! There' a lady waving a white handkerchief, and I'm returning the salute-some acquaintance I made formerly, I suppose ." Judge P. ceased, but in a few minutes he again looked out and resumed the operatiot with his cambric. " Who is she, Judge ?" asked Mr. Q., a he lounged in one corner of ihe car, wit his nether extremities curled up like a gi gantie capital Z. "Well, the fact is, I don't exactly know: I'm quite near-sighted, and can't recognis her, but she is dressed in grey silk, and stands yonder, under a big maple tree, neai my friend John B-'s house." By-and-by the locomotive gave a snort and the train began to move. Judge Pol lock again flirted his cambric to the lady ih a final salute, and this time Jim Quiggk thought he would have a peep at her. S< he crossed over to the Judge, and poking out his head, took a view, but did'nt see the lady. Nevertheless, the Judge kept o wavering his handkerchief, the perspiratior rolling down his face with the effort. " Where is she? I don't see anybody. said Mr. Q., after scanning the landscape without observing any female. "There'?" was the rather petulant reply "don't you see that lady in the grey sill dress, standing under that maple tree, way ing a white handkerchief'!" There was a suppressed snorting sound, and Jim Quiggle rolled over on the seat red in the face as a boiled lobster, whil your correspondent picked him up in a stati of virulent paroxysm of laughter, and lai< him out upon the seat. After sacrificini all the buttons on his vest and waistbands he explained to the Judge the occasion o the eachinatory spasm. The Judg/e hai been exchanging salutes for twenty minute with an iron-grey mare, tehose long tehit tail as it fapped away the flies, had beet taken by himnfor a white handkerchief, tear ed by a lady in a grey silk / T he Jud g did'nt swear, but he chianged the subject t< saw-mills, the only portion of which w~a: intelligible being the frequent repetition o the word "damn." A GREENhORN ON THE LOCOMOTIVE. Mr. Sniodgrass, junior, has been 'scotting around' at the West, and as sonme of hi experiences are rather amusing, we copy a1 extract, as follows: " When we got to the depa, I went aronn to git a look at the iron hoss. Thunderi tion it wasnt no more like a hoss than: meetin house. If I was goin to describi the animule, I'd say it looked like-well,i looked like-darned if I know what it look ed like, unless it was a regular he devil snortig tire an brimstone out of his nos trils, and pulling out black smoke all round and pantin, and hevin and swellin, an< chawin up red hot coals like they was good A fellow stood in a little house like, feedit him all the time; but the more lie blowe< and snorted. After a spell, the feller cateli ed him by the tail, and great Jerico! he se up a yell that split the ground for more's a mile and a halt; and the next minut I fel my legs a waggin, and found myself a t'other end of the string n' vehicles. I wasn skeered, but I had three chills and a stroki of palsy in less than five minutes, and mn face had a curious brownishi-yaller-green blueish color in it, which was perfectly un accountable. 'Wet ll,' says I, 'comment i superfluous.' And I took a seat in thi nearest waggin, or car as they call it--: consarned long steamboat lookin thing, will a string of pews down each side, big enougl to hold about a man-and-a-half. Just as. sat down the hoss hollered twice, and start ed off like a streak, pitchen me head firs at the stomach of a big Irish woman, an< she gave a tremenjous grunt then k-etch' me by the head and crammed ime under th< seat; and when I got out and staggered t< another seat, the ears was a junmpin an< tearin along at nigh onto forty thmousn miles an hour, and everybody was a bobbiF up and down like a mill saw, and ever) wretch of 'em had his mouth wide open an< looked like laflin, but I couldn't hear nothini the cars kept such a rackit. Binmeby the; stopped all at once, and then such anothei laff busted out o' them passengers as I nevel hearn before. Laffin at me, too, that's wha made me mad, and I was mad as thunde1 too. I ris up, and shakin my fist at 'em says I, ' Ladies and gentlemen, look a here I'm a peaceable stranger-, and away the dern train went like small pox was in town jerking me dowvn in the seat with a whac] like I'd been thrown from the moon, ani their cussed mouths flopped open and th< fellers went to bobbin up and down again I put on an air of maignanimouis contemip like, and took no more notice of 'em and very naturally went to bobbin up and dowi myself." " I say, old boy," cried Paul Pry to ai excavator in North Shieldls, whom he espied at the bottom of a yawning gulf, " what are you diggin' there'!" " A big hole," the old boy replied. Paul was not to be put off ii this fashion. " What are you going to d( with the hole?" "Going to cut it into simai holes," replied the old boy, "and retail them to farmers for gate-posts." Poor Pr~ was sold. "WEM.~," said Mrs. Partinmgton, the other day, as she was engaged with her knitting work, " I wonder if Ishall ever be able to express nmyself correctly. It seems to me I never can use the right word. Ever3 time I undertake to say an -thing, I make some blunder or other. M henever I open my mouth I am sure to put my foot in it !" -and she drew a deep sigh as she spoke, indicating that her mortification was inex pressible. "SEDLEY," said Charles i., " look mc out a man who can't be corrupted ; I have sent three treasurers to the north, anid they have all turned thieves." "Well, your ma esty, I will recommend Mivert." " Miver you dog," said Charles: " why, Mivert is a hief af-eady!" " Therefore he cannot be "W11 .L you have a Daily Sun?' said a boy to Mrs. Partington. " Will you have a daily son! Why, you little scapegrace! Ilow dare you insinuate against a lone woman from home'! No, indeed, I guess I won't have a daily son! My poor dear man used to complain awful ly when I presented him a yearly son! A daily son indeed! Begone, you little up start imp!" And the old woman called for the turkey tail fan to keep her from swoon ing. AT an assembly of friends, a lady was apologized for by an acquaintance, who said she was detained by a little "incident." "Ah, yes !" exclaimed Mrs. Clatterbell, "a beautiful little incident, it was, too weighs just nine pounds and a half!" AUGUSTA ADVERTISEMENTS. CHEAP DRY GOODS STORE. SPRING TRADE, 1857.
