GROG SELLER'S EVENING ODE.
I am a moral man. sir,
My neighbors testify ;
Dispute if you can, sir,
v+.* My neighbors will not lie.
They have known me from my birth, sir,
A very clever fellow;
Who have done no harm on earth, sir,
But would now and then get mellow.
A very proper person, sir,
To deal in rum and gin;
Because I love good order, sir,
And hate for men to sin.
And now to rich and poor, sir,
And all who liquorize,
According-to your purse, sir,
I'll furnish you supplies.
1 understand the art, sir,
Of selling liquor right;
v I always kick the poor, sir,
As soon as they get tight.
For yon know I must keep order,
I love the liquor law;
So in mv bar no pauper
Shall disgorge a vulgar maw.
Bat for gentlemen of tin, sir,
If they take the sick headache,
I will kindly take them in, sir,
And the best arrangements make.
All kindness and attention, sir,
To such I will observe,
Nor any frailty mention, sir,
Except the pocket nerve.
Whon youth of wealth and parts, sir,
Step in to tako a drop,
I I feel they honor me, sir,
And elevate my shop.
' t * ^
I give them of the best, sir,
Until thei'-credit's done, .
And then 1 kick them out, sii^.,
V And bid them^bft-gj^**^
For men to beastify, sir,
1 don't pretend is right,
But just a drop in the eye, sir,
Will make the vision bright.
There are gentlemen of worth, sir,
Of learning, wit and glee,
Who take a social glass, sir,
To help soci-e-tee.
? Then my brandy sparkles bright, sir,
And can't contain itself,
And I have to hold it tight, sir,
To keep it on the shelf. *
~ ^ owe a grateful debt, sir,
" 0 To lhese fine gentlemen,
.And whsn thev want a vote. sir.
try and give them ten.
' * '' .
. 8ome say the liquor law is wrong ;
Suppose I should agree,
Yet they must,find a perfect man
. - * To fling a stone at me.
*
\ 'Tib not for the want of drink, sir,
? That women and children weep,
?. But it is for bread and clothes, sir,
" ^Articles I never keep.
That men were made to drink, sir.
And drink was made for men,
I think it is ns plain, sir,
As that b times 2 is 10.
t - - " *
JJhough the liquor traffic is, sir,
A fruitful source of crime,
Tet, without it can you tell, sir,
. * How our courts would spend their time ?
And the learned gentlemen, sir,
Who circle round the bar,
Would pine away in solitude,
J, \jkc flowers in the air.
S^So no one can deny it, sir,
ilquor has its use,
And vvhen moral men supply it, sir,
There can be no abuse.
And now I have made out, sir,
What I did first propose,
That moral men should retail, sir,

* GETTING USED TO IT.
Somewhere about here, writes a Southern
correspondent, lives a small fanner, of such
social habits that his coming home intoxicated
was once no unusual thing. His wife
urged him in vain to sign the pledge. "Why
you see," he would say, "I'll sign it after a
while, but I don't like to break right off at j
once; it ain't wholesome. The best way al- (
ways is to get used to a thing by degrees, ]
you known." "Very well, old man," his j
helpmate would rejoin, "see now if you don't j
fall into a hole one of these days, while you ,
can't take care of yourself,and nobody.near to "
take you out." Sure enough, as if to verify j
the prophecy, a couple of days after he turn- (
bled into a well, and after a deal of useless j
scrambling, shouted for the light of her eyes
to come and help him out. "Didn't I tell
you so?" said the good soul, showing her '
cap frill over the edge of the parapet, "you !
have got into a hole at last, and it's only ;
lucky I'm in hearing, or you might have
drowned, you old dog! Well," she continued,
after a pause, letting down the bucket,
"take hold." And up he came, higher at
each turn of the windlass, until the old* la-1
dy's grasp slipping from the handle, down !
he went to the bottom again. This occurring
more than once, made the temporary
occupant of the well suspicious. "Look
here/' he screamed in-fury at the last splash,
"you're doing that on purpose?I know you
arc!" "Well, now lam," responded the old
woman tranquilly, while winding him up
once more. - "Don't, you remember telling
me it's best to get used to a thing by degrees?
I'm'fraid if I was to bring you
right up on a sudden, you wouldn't find it :
wholesome !" The old fellow could not help
chuckling at the application of his own principle,
and protested he would sign the pledge
on the instant, if she would lift him fairly
out. This she did and packed him off to
"swear in," wet as he was. "For you see," j
she added, very emphatically, "if you ever '
fall into the well again, I'll leave you thar
?I will!"

MAQENDIE ON MEDICINE.
An American medical student, writing
from Paris to the American Medical Gazette
for June, asserts that he once heard Magcndie?one
of the most eminent French phy
' j _i ?:?i
S1C1UU5 auu pujaiumgiou Lut;in-?- ii !( ( -
ture somewhat in the following words :?
"Gentlemen?Medicine is a great hum-!
bug. -I know it is called science?science,
indeed ! It is nothing like science. Doctors
are mere empirics, when they are not
Charlatans. Wo are as ignorant as men can |
be. Who knows anything in the world about J
medicine ? Gentlemen you have done me :
the honor to come here to attend my lectures, !
and I must tell you frankly now in the be-1
ginning, that I know nothing in the world
abont medicine, and I don't know anybody
who does know anything about it. Don't i
think for a moment that I haven't read the I
bills advertising the course of lectures at the
Medical School; I know that this man teaches
anatomy, that man teaches pathology, another
man physiology, such a onfe therapeutics,
such another materia medica?Exbien J
et apres? What's known all about that?-?
Why, gentlemen, at the school of Montpelier,
(God knows it was famous enough in its day,)
they discarded the study of anatoruy, and ;
taught nothing but the dispensary; and the !
doctors educated there knew just as much,
and were quite as successful as any others.
T repeat it, nobody knows anything about J
medicine. True enough, we are gathering
facts every day. We can produce typhus I
fever, for example by injectiug a certain substance
into the veins of a dog?that's something
; we alleviate diabetes, and I see distinctly,
we are fast approaching the day when
phthisis can be cured as easily as any disease.
We are collecting facts in the right spirit,
and I dare say in a century or so the accumulation
ot facts may euable our successors
to form a medicai science ; but I repeat it to
you, there.is no such thing now as a medical
science. Vho can tell me how to cure the I
headache? or the gout? or disease of the
heart ? Nobody. Oh ? you tell me doctorscure
people. I grant you, people are cured. !
But how are they cured? Gentlemen, nature
does a great deal. Imagination does a
good deal. Doctors do?devilish little?
when they don't do harm. Let me tell you,
gentlemen, what I did when I was the head
physician at Hotel Dieu. Some 3 or 4,000 j
patients passed throughray hands everyyear.
I divided the patients into two classes; with i
one, I followed the dispensary and gave them
the usual medicines without having the least
idea why or wherefore ; to'<he other, I gave
bread pills and- colored wa^er without, of
course letting them know anything about it
?and occasionally, gentlemen; I would create
a third division, to whom I gave nothing
whatever. These last would freta good deal,
they would feel they were neglected, (sick
people always feel they are neglected, unless
they are well drugged?the fools !)iand they
ally sick, but nature invariably came to their
rescue, and all the persons in this third class
got well. There was little mortality among
those who received but bread pills and colored
water, and the mortality was greatest among
those who were carefully drugged according
to the dispensary!"
THE MONKEY AND DRUNKARD.
Mr. Pollard states that in his drinking
days he was the companion of a man in
Arundel Co., Maryland, who had a monkey
which he valued at a thousand dollars. "We
always took him out on our chesnuts parties.
He shook off all our chesnuts for us, and
when he could not shake them off, he would
go to the very end of the limb and knock |
them off with his fist. One day, we stopped
at a tavern and drank freely. About half a
glass of whiskey was left, aud Jack took
glass, and drank it all up. Soon he was
merry, skipping, hopped, and danced, and
set us all in a roar of laughter. Jack was
drunk.
"We all agreed, six of us, that we would
come to the tavern next day, and get Jack |
drunk again, and have sport all day. T called
at my friend's house next morning, and
we went out for Jack. Instead of being as
usual on his box, he was not to be seen. We
looked inside, and he was crouched up in a
heap. 'Come out here,' said his master.
Jack came out on three legs ; his fore-paw
was upon his head. Jack had the headache ;
I knew what was the matter with him. He
felt just as I felt, many a morning. So we
waited three days. "We then went, and,
while drinking, a glass was provided for
Jack. But where was he ? Skulking behind
the chairs. 'Come here, Jack, and
drink,' said his master, holding out the glass
to him. Jack retreated, and as the door was
opened, slipped out and in a moment was
on the top of the house. His master went
out to call him down, but he would not 1
come. He got a cow-skin and shook it at
him. Jack sat on the ridge-pole and refus- 1
ed to obey. His master got a gun and
pointed it at him. A monkey is much afraid
of a gun. Jack slipped over the backside
of the house. His master then got two
^uns, and had one pointed each side of the 1
house, when the monkey seeing his bad pre- '
dicament, at once whipped up on the chini- '
aey and got down on one of the flues, homing
on by his fore-paws ! The master was
beaten. The man kept that monkey twelve
years, but could never persuade him to taste '
mother drop of whisky. The brenst had 1
more sense than a man who has an immortal
toul, aud thinks himself the first and best of
Clod's creatures on earth." j
PETER THE GREAT. j <
It was the custom of Peter the Great to ! i
visit the different workshops and manufacto- ; '
ries, not only to encourage them, but also to
judge of what other useful establishments i
might be formed in his dominions. Among i
the places he visited frequently, were the for- i
ges of Muller at Istia, ninety versts from i
Moscow. The Czar once passed a whole
month there; during which time, after giv- '
ing due attention to the affairs of state, which i
he never neglected, he amused himself with
seeing and examining every thing in the
most minute manner, and even employed
himself in learning the business of a blacksmith.
He succeeded so well, that on one
of the last days of his remaining there, he ; '
forged eighteen poods of iron, and put his
own particular mark on each bar. The boyars
and otlier noblemen of his suite, were
employed in blowing the bellows, stirring
the fire, carrying coals, and performing the
other duties of a blacksmith's assistant.?
"When Peter had finished he went to the
proprietor, praised his manufactory, and
asked him how much lie gave his workmen
per hood. "Three copecks, or an altina," j
answered Muller. "A'ery well," replied the
Czar; "I have then earned eighteen altinas."
MuHcr fetched eighteen ducats, offered them
to Fctcr, and told him that he could not
give a workman like his majesty less per
pood. Peter refused. "Keep your ducats."
said lie, "I have not wrought better than
any other man ; give me what you would give
to another; I want to buy a pair of shoes, of
whioh T am in great need." At the same 1
time he showed him his shoes, which had j
been once mended, and were agaiu full of
holes. Peter accepted the eighteen altinas,
and bought himself a pair of new shoes,
which he used to show with much pleasure,
saying, "These I earned with the sweat of
my brow."
One of the bars of iron forged by Peter J
the Great, and authenticated by hismavk, is j
still to be seen at Istia, in the forge of Muller.
Another similar bar is preserved in the
cabinet of curiosities at St. Petersburg!!. j
A Great Country for a Lazy Man.? !
Dr. McBean, in his lectures ou Nicaragua, i
on Monday night, drew a picture of what
could be done in that country by a man who
was not disposed to waste time in labor, and
yet wished to live independently. The
Government gave him two hundred and
eighty acres of land; and the first necessity
was for a house. This want was quickly
supplied by the placing of four posts upright-1
ly in the ground, the spaces between which
were filled with the common cane, which I
grew in abundance around, and then plas-1
tering with mud. The roof was then thatched
with grass, and the house was thus !
completed. Little furniture was needed, a
hammock'answering all purpose ofa bed and
seat, and almost any kind of earthen vessel
would answer to cook in. The next care
was to plant about a dozen banana or plantain
trees, which needed no further care;
plauted with yams, which, if properly placed,
would yield enormously. The common frignlc
and Lima beans would grow with the
yams, as well as other vegetables, and the
native fruits of the country were almost in- J
digenous. The plantains aud yams would 1
yield more than enough for the subsistence
of an entire family, and game of every variety
could be shot almost from the door of the
Th<> olimate was such as to render
little or no clothing absolutely necessary, and
thus, with one month's labor, a man can fix
himself comfortably a year. Isn't that the
country for a lazy mau ??ATcw Orleans i

ORIGIN OF HICKORY CLUBS.
Baron de Glaubeck having signalized
self in many engagements after the battle of
Guilford, General Greene recommended him j
to the governor of North Carolina, and advised
him to put the cavalry of that State
under his command. The Governor took
the General's advice, and accordingly placed
the Baron at the head of the cavalry; but
to his great astonishment, not a man among
them had a sword; however, in order to
supply the deficiency, he ordered every man
to supply himself with a substantial hickory '
cud of.which lie caused to_be L
mounted with a heavy piece of iron; then,
to show an example to his men, he threw asidc
his sword, armed himself with one of
these bludgeons, and mounted his horse.?
After giving his men the necessary instructions
in weilding their clubs, he marched '
with his whole body, consisting of three
hundred, towards Cornwallis' army, in order
to reconnoitre his lines, where he arrifkn
como rlmr nhrmt. nnA nVlnclv. Corn
wallis was then retreating towards Wilming-1
ton, and his men hcing fatigued, had halted |
to take some refreshment. The Baron, having
seized this favorable opportunity, charged
two^IIessian picquets, whom he made
prisoners; and routed three British regiments,
to whose head he applied the clubs
so effectually, that a conside'rable number
were killed on the spot; and finally he retreated
with upwards of sixty prisoners.
ONE OP THE MISTAKES. !
The story subjoined was told of one of the
heroes of Doniphan's California band, at a
recent festival in Sacramento. Jake Grooms J
is the man that made the mistake of asking j
for the tnnr> on the four-post, bedstead :
"He had come to the country among the j J
very first whites, in early childhood, and
had never known anything of the luxuries
of civilization. After awhile, emigrants began
to flock in, and among others was a
family who brought quite an assortment of j j
furniture, and among other things a piano j
forte. The fame of this now tangled musical
instrument was noised about, and pro- j
duced great excitement; it reached Jake's
ears. Some time afterwards, passing the j
house, he thought he would call and see
them. -Jake was received by the lady, in
the absence of her husband, with great po-1
liteness. After sitting some time, he looked i (
around for the piano. Against the wall! |
stood an enormous, old-fashioned, four-post i
bedstead, the curtains to which were drawn.
Jake had never seen such a piece of furni- '
turc before, and concluded that this must j
be the piano. Pointing it out, he told the j '
lady that he had understood that she was j 1
very skilful in performing on that kind of |
in instrument, and would be very much ob- ! 1
liged to her if she would favor him with a .
tunc." I:

PRETTY GOOD. j
Who is the author of the following we !
know not. It was found in an old newspa- j c
per that looked as if it was printed when j
Adam was a boy.
Sambo was a slave to a master who was I
institutionally addicted to lying. Sambo J
being strongly devoted to his master, had by I
dint of long practice made himself an adopt j
in living plausibility to his master's largest! j
stories.
One day, when the master was entertain- J
ing his guests in his customary manner, j
amontr other marvellous facts he related an '
iueident which tood place in one of his hunt- j I
ing excursions.
"I lired at a buck," said he, "atone hun-! t
dred yards distance, and the ball passed j
through his left hind foot, and through his j t
head, just back of his ear." j t
This evidently producing some little doubt!
in the minds of his guests, he called upon j
Sambo to corroborate him.
"Yes, massa," said the almost eon founded x
slave, after a moment's hesitation, "me see
dc ball hit 'im. Jcs as massa lif up degun |
to he eye, de buck lif up him hine foot to ,
scratch him ear, an, massa's hall go clear
through him foot an' head at de same (
time."
The guests were satisfied with the expla- j
natiou, and swallowed the whole without fur- f
ther hesitation ; but wheu his guests were ! ,
gone, Sambo ventured upon his master's' r
good huiuor so far as to remonstrate. j ^

EXECUTION OF M. M. CHANEY.
"This unfortunate man, convicted at the
last spring term of our Court, of negro stealing,
expiated his crime on the gallows on
Friday last, the lltli of July. It had long
been the impression of persons in this community,
that the prisoner was one of a regular
organized clan, who were engaged in enticing
and abducting slaves from their masters.
Various circumstances led to this impresssion,
and many efforts were made to induce
the prisoner to confess his own guilt,
and to reveal the names and whereabouts of
his confederates; and we believe inducements
were held oat that his doing so might
lead to a pardon in his own case ;" but he
persisted in asserting his innocence maintaining
that lie bought and paid for the negro
that lie was couvicted of stealing, and
that he was innocent of any lawless clau of
which he was supposed to be a member. It
was believed, however, that when brought
to the gallows and convinced that there was
no hope of pardon, and that only a few moments
separated him from eternity, he would
make a clean breast, and an open exposure
of his guilt.
lie was taken from the jail about 11 o'clock,
A. M.,and led to the gallows, (about
half a mile distant) followed by an immense
concourse of persons. When placed upon
the gallows, his appearance and manner was
exceedingly calm and collected; we had
never believed one capable of exercising such
thorough self-control under the horrid cir
cumstanccs. lie addressed the people for
about one hour and a half, and during that
time, TJcTwas rcpeatcuiy uigeu Dy personspresent
to mnke a confession; but all to no
purpose, aud if we understood the substance
of his remarks, he maintained his innocence
to the last; though wo believe the main issues
were rather evaded. He expressed
himself as being fully prepared to meet his
doom ; spoke confidently of having made his
peace with God, and that he had no fear of
death ; but we thought his tone and manner
strangely lacking in that revereutial humility
that would naturally be shown in the last
momcuts of a dying christian. The Kev.
M. Clarke accompanied, and remained with
the prisoner to the last, and joined with him
in a most fervent appeal for mercy to the
Most Hi<rh. The martini: words of the un
fortunate man to his friends and acquaintances,
as lie shook them severely by the hand,
were truly affecting. About half past 1 o'clock,
the fatal instrument of death was
drawn around his neck; the h of rid cap adjusted,
and soon the wretched criminal was
launched into eternity. Wc lament the occasions
that make* such scenes a necessity,
but we hope that the present instance will
have the effect that the law intends, viz : a
solemn warning to others who would violate
lier rigid, but just decrees.
