You've seen little kittens so? They pretended it was sleeping. But that humbug wouldn't go ! I surveyed it at a distance? Asked them what its name might be; Nameless yet, bat they inclined to Call it Jonas, after me! Then they asked if 'twasn't pretty? If I didn't want a kiss, (Pray the lie may be forgiven, Which I spoke in saying "yes." , "Yes, it is a perfect beauty, And I fairly long to kiss it ; But, not being smoothly shaven, I must make auother visit." ' . . . . I Soon the thing began to whimper, Squirming like a hungry elf; Thinking I was one too many. Then I seized my hat and left. .Dreaming that same night, I fancied Tbat the baby was my own; I awoke, with a terror trembling, Felt?and found I was alone. | Then awhile I lay there musing On my bliss and other's wo, Till I found the placid slumber Only bachelors can kuow. And to-day my soul is thankful For the perils I've escaped, Blessed be the watchful angel Who my destiny hath shaped. GREEK AND GREEK. There is a certain individual in this State who rejoices in the nickname of the "Western Railroad Jockey," or more commonly the "Great Western," a man who is half horse and whole Yankee. He is the keenest chap in trading nags that was ever raised in New England, and "canny Yorkshire" could not produce his match at "taking iu the flats." The fame of this excellent man at length reached the ears of another adept in the same profession, living somewhere up ou the Vermont'line, equally skilled in horse-flesh and the tricks of trade, but not, ("curses on partial fortune !") equally renowned. When the northern Nimrod?for he was quite a spoitiug character, heard of his rival's reputation. and particularly of his boast, that he could "pick up any white man living,"' I his pride was seriously hurt, and hearingthnt \ the "Great Western" was to be at a partic-: ular spot, on a particular day, for the purpose of tradiug horses, he determined to be there with the redoubtable jockey. Accordingly, in anticipation of the Mueet,' i he began training and feeding a worthless | 1 horse of his that rejoiced in the "heaves" 1 'fsouie, if not more," and by dint of careful grooming and a peculiar stable-diet, succeed- 1 ed in making the animal look as "fine as a 1 lily-bird on a plum-tree," as the "Corinthian" , would say. So he determined to take the ' "critter" down by easy stages, to the place ! ' of rendezvous. When near the village, our 1 -friend dismounted, went into the bushes, and j j there occupied some time in changing his toilet He went into the "cover," looking . ' like a slap-up sporting gent; he came out of | it, the most verdant looking juvenile that 1 ever ate gingerbread at a country muster.? j 1 His hair was combed smooth behind his ears; 1 ' he had donned a genuine white wool bell-1 < top; the great pewter dollar buttons on his coat-waist were near up to his shoulder-blades, : ' and his homespun blue trowsers were tucked 1 into the tubes of a pair of astounding cow- j hide boots. Reaching the village tavern, he dismounted and hitched his horse in the shed near a huge wood-pile laid in for win- j 1 ter's consumption In the bar room he found ! the "Great Western" and a mixed company indulsiujr in horse-talk and rum and raolas- [ sea. Our hero gaped aud listeued, and put i in a word or two occasionally, that attracted the attention of the "Great Western" to him ' as a fitting subject whereon to exercise his transcendent commercial taleuts. He ac- " cordi?gly offered to treat "Green 'Un" to the beverage the company was imbibing. At first, the "Greeu 'Un" "didn't driuk ^ nothing but cider?'sept fourth of July aud muster," but he was prevailed ou to "try a little New England," and commenced a "course of sprouts" very fairly. By the operation of the third horn, he let on "that he'd come down on business for the old man, and he rode the old man's horse? a dreadful nice critter." The "Great Western" wanted to see hiui, and the pair adjourned to the wood shed.? The "Great Western" was much struck with the appearance of the horse, and after a satisfactory e?amiuation, asked "Green 'Un" what he'd take for him. "He ain't for sale, mister," answered Greeny. "The old mau sets all creation by him. Raised him himself. The critter was foalded eight years next grass." "But supposing I was to give you a dread-1 ful nice horse of mine, and thirty dollars i boot ?" "I darsn't to look at it, cap'n. If I was ' to sell that are critter, I shouldn't never dars't to go hum agin. Let's go iuto the house, cap'n?it's cold as Jerusalem out here. How much did you say?" "That black horse, there?and forty dol- ( lars, saia "ureal ? estern. 7 ( "That black of yourn is a pooty good old hoss, that's a fact. I was lookin' at him ( 'fore I came in. Taint uo use talkiu' 'boutj it though?I can't do it, no how." j "Does he draw well ?" "Seen him trot up hill before a load of | wood, jest as easy !" ] "Well," said the "Great Western," "what do you say to my horse aud sixty dollars boot?" "Lead us not iuto temptation," as the deacou says. "Gee-whittaker! Darn ef I' ' haint most a mind to run the risk. Darn ef I haint," he added, firmly. "But look here, my friend," said the ( "U-reat western, "you must nrst satisty me of his soundness. Hitch that critter to that big log," pointing to the largest of the | "pile, and if he can draw it round the wood ^ pile, I'll stand my offer." The "Green 'Tin" accepted the challenge, and the horse was put before the log and : started. Now he knew very well that if the critter was driven round the pile with a steady i pull, the heaves would soon show themselves and nothing but exquisite tact could enable j i him to pick up his rival. Accordingly, af- < ter pulling a few feet, he stopped the horse 1 and began patting him. { "He is a dreadful nice hoss, and he knows ] - it. Poor fellow ! If the old man was to j ^ see this here?Jerusha, wouldn't I catch it!" | < "All right, go ahead," said the "Great i Western." i Another pull, another halt?and another < speech from the "Green 'Un." ^ j "Jest look at him ! He can haul logs jest as easy. Can haul lumber all day, and carry a feller a courtin' fourteeu miles at the tail o' that, and never start a hair. Pooty good old hoss, I reckon." Aud thus by easy stages he got round the pile. The "Great Western" handed out his pocket-book, counted off six X.'s, and unhitched his black. The saddles and bridles were changed bofore the "Green 'Un" seemed to come to his senses. "Hello, mister!" he exclaimed. "What's the matter?anything broke?" "Take your tarnal mouey back. T feel like I'd been kicking my grandmother. The old mau wont stand it?I can't stand it?no how. You can't have the critter." "You're too late, my boy," said the 'Great Western,' throwing his right leg over the pigskin. 'He's mine, and cheap, too!' "Dou't you holler till you get out of the woods !" returned the other, in his natural ? . i ; i J: j_U manner, as ne mouniea in turn. * x uu uiuu t get him half so cheap as I did. He was a gift horse?don't look in his uiouth. Goodly 'Great Western'?when you buy a stranger's hoss, always ask for a warranty. I wish you joy of your bargain, old fellow, and you'll make money out of it, if you have found out a remedy for the heaTes 1 haven't." And he put the spurs to the gallant black. "Just wait till I overhaul you !" shouted the discomfited jockey, as he started in pursuit. But the log-pulling had done the business for his bargain, and he hadn't ridden a quarter of a mile before the auimal ho bestrode was swelling and collapsing like a blacksmith's bellows, while far away the 'Green 'Un' was streaking it along the road, going free and easy at ten miles the hour. "Picked up, by thunder !" muttered the 'Great Western,' after fruitlessly digging his gaffs into the pantiug sides of the old man's horse. 'I've a great mind to take a horn of Prussian acid. There's a white man living that can boast of picking up the ?G rcat Western.' He's a screamer, though, and no mistake,' he added, with professional enthusiasm ?'he's won the stakes fair, and if the story dou't get into the newspapers, hang me if I over say a word about it!" HOW TO MEET A DUELLIST. We have always regarded the practice of ?? ? knfVtAfAn^ n irnc o uueiimg as u reuc i?i uiv umwi ?? custom which is sanctioned neither by the laws of religion or of reason, and which should be condemned by every moral, sober judgiug uiau. Of courage the duel is no criterion; oftentimes it happens that the professed duellist, when called upon to meet death or dangers in any unwonted shape, is the first to turn his back and flee. A few years since as a New England gentleman, whose name we shall call Brown, was passing a few days at a hotel in one of our western cities, he had the misfortune to unintentionally offend the susceptible honor of 1 tall Indiana colonel who was one of his fellow boarders. Ilis apologies not being satisfactory, a challenge was sent him, which, however, he declined, upon tho grouud of conscientious scruples. The colonel, who, by the way, had won in two or three encounters, quite a reputation as a duellist, at once conceived the idea that his opponent was a coward, and resolved to disgrace him by flogging him in the face of all the assembled wisdom of the house. Accordingly, the next day, at dinner time, in marched the duellist, irmed with a formidable cowhide, and advancing to Brown's chair, proceeded to dust lis jacket for hiin in the most approved style, [drown was astonished. Luckily he had been i lieutenant of militia in his native State, ind knew the importance of incommoding lis enemy by a diversion. So, seizing a ;ravy tureen, he tossed the contents into the "ace of his belligerent colonel and before hat hero could recover from the drowning ;ensation thus occasioned, he sprang upon l- x_i.i 1 u ,.i i.;?, ,1IU UIUIU UUU UVJ.MU IU5llUMVl U^V/u Uiiii " n? i liberal hand, the conteuts ot' the dishes iround. 'You are an infernal?' 'Coward/ the colonel was about to say, jut at that moment a plate of greens struck "ull upon his mouth, and the word was blockidcd and lost forever ! 'Ha!' cried the little New Englander, jvhose blood was now up, 'fond of greens, ire you ? Take a potatoe too;' and he hurled i telling volley of hard potatoes at him ; <exjelleut eggs here; capital things with calves' aead;' and crash came a plate of soft boiled Jggs, against the side of his cranium. The blows of the cowhide which had hitherto desccuded upon the Yankee's head ind shoulders, now began to fall more weakly and wildly aud it became evident that the issailant half stunned, choked and partially blinded, was getting the worst of it. His courage was rapidly oozing out. 'Take a turkey/ shouted Brown, as a noble old gobler descended fairly upon the colonel's head, and bursting, filled his hair rnd eyes with delicious looking stuffing; 'and here's the fixings/ he contiuued as the squash and jelly followed after. By this time the colonel was irretrievably defeated, aud his merciless opponent seized i huge plum pudding, steaming hot, and holding it above his head with both hands seemed about to bury him beneath it, he quailed in terror, and throwing down his cowhide turned about and made a rush for the door. 'Stop for the pudding, colouel ; stop for the pudding/ shouted Brown. 'Pudding, colonel, pudding/ screamed all his fellow boarders amid convulsions of laughter. But the colonel was too terrified to listen to their kind invitations, and did not cease running until he had locked himself into his room. But although the colonel escaped from the plum pudding, he could not escape from the ridicule which the affair occasioned. He subsequently challenged four persons against whom his ire was particularly excited, and they all consented to fight, but availing themselves of the privilege of the challenged party, appointed pudding bags for their weapons. At length the unhappy duellist Snding no one who was willing to shoot or be shot at, was obliged to quit the State. TOO ANXIOUS, BY HALF. An amusing affair happened lately between a coal dealer and purchaser in Boston. The latter was very anxious to see that the former did not cheat him, so he?the. purBhaser?inspected the weighing of the coal himself, and felt perfectly satisfied that he ?ot his allowance, without any desire on the part ofi the coal dealer to shave. However, while the coal was weighing, the driver of ;he team could not neip jaugning, aware at ;he time that the purchaser was particular ibout his full weight of the coal. The purihaser, noticing the laughing of the driver, isked him when he had received his coal, ... what it was all aboat ? so the driver told i him. "Why," said he, "when your coal waf weighed, you were standing on the scales, j and were weighed with it." "Is it possible ? Why, I weigh uear twc hundred pounds !" "Well, sir," said the driver, "you are .sold." "Yes," was the reply, "and I have boughl I myself, too."?Journal. SHOPPING. "It is naught, it is naught, saith the buy. er; but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth?Prov. xx. 14. Buying and selling have each its perils.? The seller is tempted to praise his goods.? "This is a very fine article. It was manufactured especially to please old customers, j and I think it cannot fail to please you.? And this?it was bought at auction : hence . I can afford to sell it low; don't believe you can find its equal in the market at the same price! Aud this you shall have for a dollar; i it is richly worth a dollar ana a quarter; great concessions have been made on this article. Just look at the fineness of the texture, and see how beautifully it takes the light and shade ! It will make up splendidly. I Only one dollar a yard. Since it is you, though I can't afford it, I will take off an eighth. No lady can afford to be without oue. You shall have one very cheap." i So much for the salesman; and if he cannot set off a piece of tow-cloth, so as to make it appear as fiue a piece of satin as ever was manufactured ; if he cannot turn everything into good in the eye and estimation of the buyer, he is said to waut tact, and the essential qualifications for a successful mer; chant. Iu plain English, if he cannot skill! fully practice deception, and cheat the buyer into the belief that he is not cheated, he will never make a good salesman, and is politely informed that after the end of the , month his services will not be wanted. But now the text turns the table, and shows off the buyer. "It is naught, it is I naught, saith the buyer." "I can buy it cheaper elsewhere, besides I want a better article. This may do, however, if?if you ! : 11 j?ii v o :* j:j * IVVlll fcttjr t UUII?II9 ; cuppuoc It UIU tuoi more, you can better afford to take two than to keep it on your shelf." Next comes the scene at home. "See | here, what a splendid piece of cloth I've bought! Was it a bargain ? At two dollars when it cost two dollars and a half? Is it ; not Franklin who says that a penny saved is as good as a penny earned ? And here is | a dollar and a quarter saved ! A good bar: gain that." t'Fut when he has gone his way : he boasteth." Now the preacher will not put the buyer I and seller in the scale to determiue whose I sin is the greatest but he has a word for you jointly, and severally. To you both let him say, you are pursuing a course and forming j a character contemptible in the eyes of all honorable men. I To the seller let me say : Never sell your | goods on a sliding scale, between the low; est 6gure you can afford aud the highest you can extort. Let your goods, like your works, ; praise themselves, and give only such iuforubout them as your customers desires, or ought to know. Let "one price" be your - rule. And to the buyer : Never add injustice > to insult in cheapening goods, when dealing ! with an honest man. If you like not his i goods, or his price, make room in his store ! for some one who will ; and never add your I name to the number of persons who are too ; mean either "to live or let live." And if I you have made a "good bargain" at the ex! Dense of another. <ro bee his oardon. and e i qualize the scale of justice rather than go i away and boast of it.?A'. V. Evangelist. Bt&yOld Judge Cole, of Texas, was charj actorised by this attachment to that seduo! tivc beverage called 'peach and honey,' and j by his hatred of whisky and whisky-drinki ers. While holding a court at Austin, two I men were brought up on a charge of a drun| ken affray. It was a plain case : the row i had occurred in the public street, in open day, and there were fifty witnesses to the whole transaction. So the two delinquents pleaded guilty, by the advice of their counsel, and threw themselves on the mercy of the Court. They were then brought up for ! seutcnce seperately. "You are guilty of an affray," growled the judge. "Yes, your Honor," whined the offender, i thoroughly frightened. "Drunk, I suppose ?" grunted the Judge. "Yes, your Honor," murmured the priso1 uer, with some faint hope that having been ! drunk would mitigate the punishment. "Drunk on rye whisky, too, I'll warrant," roared the Judge, in a voice of thunder. "Yes, your Honor; drunk on rye whisky." : "Mr. Clerk, record a fine of fifty dollars | against this man," cried the Judge, 'and ' send him to jail for sixty days.' I shall fine j the next one who is guilty under such ag| gravating circumstauces a hundred dollars, and send him to jail for six months. ! "This was poor comfort for the unfortu| nate fellow who was waiting his turn, and uow came forward with fear and trembling. I Am ho nassod alnncr hv his lnwvor thnt thoughtful gentleman whispered in his ear, 'When the Judge asks you what you got druuk on, tell him on peach and honey.'? He took his stand. "You, too, are up here for an affray," growled the old Judge, gnashing his teeth, as if he would like to bite the culprit at the bar. | "Yes, your Honor." i "Drunk, too, I suppose ?" i "Yes, your Honor; sorry to say it?drunk ?very drunk." "Drunk on rye whisky, too, I suppose?" "On, no, your Honor; I never drink whisky. I got drunk on peach and honey." The Judge's features relaxed in an instant. Leaning forward, and raising his spectacles, he contemplated the offender : with interest, and then with something like : tenderness. "Ah! sir," said the Judge, blandly, i "peach and honey, eh !" that's a gentlemanly drink, sir. The Court sympathizes with you, sir, and does not regard your offence as very serious. Mr. Clerk he continued, in a softening tone, "enter a nne ot one aoiiar against this gentleman, and discharge him on payment of cost." Self-Control.?The Brunswick Telegraph tells a story of a young widow down on the Kennebec, who said to an acquaintance who was condoling with her upon the recent death of her husband, "I hope you'll excuse ray not crying; but the fact is cry! in(j always makes my nose bleed." | Marriage is the nursery of Heaven. [ An Irishman's Idea of America.?One of the best definitions of an Irishman's idea i of America that we ever saw, is contained , in the following extract from "The Fairy j Circle," a tale of John Brougham's Irish ? Echoes: "Where did 'baccy come from, Corney?" I i inquired Mary." ! "Why, from 'Merriky, where else? he re- ; * t plied that sent us the first pitaty. "Long life to it, for both say it." "What sort of a place is that, I wonder ?" "Merriky, is it ?" They tell me its migh ty sizable, Moll, darlin. I'm told that you ! might rowl England throught it, an' it would hardly make a dint in the grouud; there's fresh water oceans inside of it that you might dhround Ireland in, and save Fa ther Matthew a wonderful sight of trouble; i and as for Scotchland, you might stick it in a corner on one of their forests and you would never be able to find it out except it t may be, it might by the smell of whiskey. > If I had only a trifle of money I'd go there ; i an' seek my fortune there." i j JfagTne fallowing telegrapn message was ., sent from an Albany office : i "To? ; Third Epistle of John, 13 and 14 verse3. s , Signed ." 1 i The text refered to is as follows, and " ; makes quite a lengthy and understandable t letter:? _ g "I had many things to write, but I will 1 i not with ink and pen write to thee.
