THE BABY.
I have been to see the baby,
And its face was very red.
And the down was very scanty
On its ugly little head.
And its eyes were not yet open?
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

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.

requires, to work it, a mau to turn the fly wheel
and a boy to feed the sheets.
The Inking Apparatus is very complete,- and
Offers from the apparatus used in pylinder j'reaies
generally, being more like Um't pgffi ip tpp
