P A R O D Y. ~
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The cheese-press, the goose-pond, the pigs in the
wild-wood,
And every old stump that my infancy knew.
The big link urn basswood, with wide spreading
shadow;
The horses that grazed where my grandmother
fell;
The sheep on the mountain, the calves in the
meadow ;
And all the young kittens we drowned in the
well.
The meek little kittens, the milk-loving kittens.
. The poor little kittens we drowned in the well.
I remember with pleasure my grandfather's goggles,
Which rode so majestic astraddie liis nose;
And the harness oft mended with tow-string and
"toggles,"
That belonged to Old Dolly, now free from her
woes.
And fresh in my heart is the fresh maple woodpile,
Where often I've worked with beetle and wedge,
Striving to whack up enough to last a good while,
And grumbling because my old axo had no
edge.
And there was the kitchen, and pump that stood
nigh it,
Where we sucked up the drink through a quill
in the spout;
And the hooks where we hung up the pumpkin to
dry it;
And the old cider pitcher, "no doing without;"
The old brown earthen pitoher, the nozzle-crack'd
pitcher,
The pain-easing pitcher, 'no doing without,'
And there was a school-house, away from each
dwelling,
Where school-ma'ams would govern with absolute
sway;
Who taught me my "'rithmetic," reading, and
spelling;
And "whaled me like blazes" about every day.
I remember the ladder that swung in the passage,
Which led to the loft in the peak of the house,
Where my grandmother hung up her "pumpkin
and sassage
To keep them away from the rat and the mouse.
But now, far removed from that nook of creation,
Emotions of grief big as tea-kettles swell,
When Fancy rides back to my old habitation,
And thinks of the kittens we drowned in the
well,
- The meek little kittons, the milk-loving kittens,
The poor little kittens we drowned in the well.
Sleeping with the Landlord's Wife.
?We give the annexed incident in regard
to Rev. Zeb Twitchell, a Methodist clergyman
in full and regular standing, and a
member of the Vermont Conference :
At one time he represented Stockbridge
in the State Legislature. &qd, says our iuformant,
is a man of fair talents, both as a
preacher and a musician. In the pulpit he
is grave, solemn, dignified and a thorough
systematic scrmonizer; out of it there is no
man living who is more full of fun and drollery.
On one occasion he was wending his
way towards the seat of the Annual Conference
of Ministers, in company with another
clergyman. Passing a country inn. he remarked
to the other clergyman :
'The last time T stopped at that tavern, I
slept with the landlord's wife.'
In utter amazement, his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant.
'I mean just what I say,' replied Zeb;
and on went the two travellers in unbroken
silence UDtil they reached the conference.
In the early part of the session, the Conference
sat with closed doors for the purpose
of transacting so.nc private business, and especially
to attend to the annual examination
of each member's private character, or rather
conduct, during the past year. For this
purpose the clerk called Zeb's name.
'Does any one know aught against the
character of brother Twitchell during the
past year ?' asked the bishop, who was the
presiding officer.
After a moment's silence, Zeb's travelling
companion arose with a heavy heart and
\ grave countenance; said he had a duty to
perform?one that he owed to God and the
church, and to himself; he must therefore
discharge it fearlessly, though trembliugly.
He then related what Zeb had told him
while passing the tavern, how he had slept
with the landlord's wife, &c.
The grave body of ministers were struck
as with a thunderbolt, although a few smiled
3 3?3- - -3 ^nnnn ffiDKioHnr
UUU lUUdl'U ilist ab Lit'Uj tlivu u^/uu vuv Vtwt.v
knowiogly, for they knew better than the
others the character of the accused.
The bishop called upon brother Twitchell
and asked him what he had to say in relation
to so serious a charge. Zeb rose and
said:
'I did the deed ! I never lie !'
Then pausing with an awful seriousness,
he proceeded with a slow and solemn deliberation
:
There was one little oircumstance, however,
connected with the affair I did not
name to the brother. It may not have much
weight with the conference, but although it
may be deemed of trifling importance, I will
state it. When I slept with the landlord's
wife, as I told the brother, I kept the tavern
myself!'
A Biblical Reputation.?One of the
Museum's old and valuable correspondents,
Mr. Lord, who is now residing in Illinois,
was a short time since traveling from Jacksonville
to Peoria, in that State, and as he
was passing a small hut on the road side, he
noticed a shaggy-headed boy, about eight
years of age, with large eyes and no hat,
dressed in a worn out pair of his father's
trowsers, trying to balance himself on the
splintered top of a hickory stump.
3Iore for the purpose of breaking the monotony
of ridiog all day without speaking,
than to gain information, Mr. Lord reined
his horse up to the fence, and exclaimed :
My little boy, can you tell me how far it
is to Sangamon Bottoms?
''Bout six uiilos I reckon/
'Do you live in that house?' inquire]
Lord.
'I rc?*k-.:i. wa > r.v: reply.
D > you nj iy yo I'So'f >of fnu.: in the
^ Woods '"
^ 'A heap '
A 'What a'Is voir pants?' says Lord.
A 'Tore 'cm,' was ;!ic laconic answer.
Finding that he had hold of a genius that
could not bo pumped, Mr. Lord turned his
horse's head to ucpart, hut in hi< turn was
hailed by the boy, who, iu a comical, half
reluctant tone, exclaimed.
'What mout your name be V
'Lord,' was tuc reply.
'You seem pleased said Lord; perhaps
you never heard the name before.'
'Yes I have.' replied the youngster; 'I've
heard pap read about you !'
Lord put spurs to his horse, and says that
even the sacred thought to which the incidents
gave rise, were not sufficient to keep
him from snickering throughout the rest of
his journey.
A Lawyer Nonplussed.?Here we have
a case to present, in which the irritating and
too irritable counsel was completely nonplussed.
It is us follows:
'I call upon you,' said the counsellor, <to !
state distinctly upon what authority yon are j
I prepared to swear to the horses age ?'
Upon what authority ?' asked the hostler, i
interrogatively
'You are to reply to, and not to repeat the j
question put to you.'
?I dosen't consider a man's bound to an- <
swer a question afore he's time to turn it ;
over in his mind.'
'Nothing can bo more simple, sir, than
the question put. I again repeat: Upon
what authority,' do you swear to that animal's
age ?'
'The best authority,' responded the witness,
gruffly.
'Then why such evasion ? Why not state
it at once ?'
'Well then if you must have it?'
'Must! I will have it,' vociferated the J
counsellor, interrupting the witness.
'Well, then if you must and will have it,'
rejoined the hostler, with impcrturable gravity,
'why, then, I had it myself from the
horse's own mouth !'
A simultaneous burst of laughter ran
through the court. The judge on the benoh
could with difficulty restrain his risible muscles
to judicial decorum.
A Charitable Game of Brag.?The
Cincinnati Commercial relates the following
pleasant Christmas incident:
A poor woman, seemingly a worthy object
of charity, applied to a party of gentlemen
on Third street, as they came out of a drinking
saloon, for aid for her sick and starving
family, and offering to introduce all of them
into her poverty-stricken home, if they
would accompany her. Eyeing her for an
instant, one of them, whom we shall call
Bob, turned to his companions and said, with
more emphasis than grace?
'She is poor, boys, and I pity her two
dollars and a half'?drawing out a gold
piece of that denomination, and presenting
it. 'Flow much do you pity her, Dick ?'
'I'll see your 82.50, and go -half a dollar
better,' quoth Dick,
'By h-n ,' says Jim, 'I'll see your three
dollars, and go two dollars better.'
'My eall,' rejoined Bob; 'show your hand,'
at the same time planking down two dollars
and a half more to make good the bluff.
The poor woman, overwhelmed with gratitude,
tearfully endeavored to express her
thanks; but the trio, evidently not accustomed
to female tears, beat a ha3ty retreat.
A Little Election Incident.?Passing
along Royal about 3 p. m , Monday, we
overheard two sons of Erin.
'An' hev ve voted to day, Pathrick?'
'An' is it for the beggist fool ye iver seen
.-1 n'porotr? tf's
ye lUKl'M Uie IU UC, i'linci ^ umvy . -- ? |
yersel' I am afther belaving had no better
sense nor to vote airly in the day, when
votes are only goin' for five dollars apiece.'
'It's thrue, Pathrick, as I hope the holy
father'll forgive me. Me conscience's been
a gnawin' at me the whole blessed day for ,
thinkin' no more o' me liberty of votin' in
this blessed free counthry, nor to sell it far ,
five dollars.'
lOeh ! out upon yees, ye foolish cruthcr!
If ye'd a' waited till fifteen minutes 'fore
the election closed, yer could a got fifty?or

Mobile Advertiser.
5?* At one time Ned was raking hay in
the field, the sky was overcast and there was
every appearance of a shower.
'Come, hurry up, Ned,' said the doctor,
'we are going to have rain.'
Ned stopped raking, leaned lazily on the
handle of his rake, took a squint at the
clouds, and said:
'Shouldn't wonder, Dominip. if we did
have a shower; but I think it will be only a
dry rain.'
'A dry rain,' replied the doctor, 'who ever
heard of a dry rain?'
Ned put on a very quizzically serious face, '
and looking at the doctor, inquired :
'Dominie, did you ever read the Bible?'
'You know I do, Ned ; why do you ask
me such a question as that ?'
'"Well, then, don't you think as how w^en
it rained fire and brimstone "on Sodom and
Gomorrah, it was a very dry rain V
A Good One.?During the recent session
of our Legislature, a proposition was under
discussion to change the time of meeting of
that body, from November to October ?
Among other objections was one so supremely
ridiculous, that it is worthy of notice :?
It was, so sickly in October, that no one from
the mountains would be willing to come
here at that season ! A friend at our elbow i
says, that the member must have been as 1
hard run for an objection, as was the little
boy for not obeying his father, as related in
the following anecdote. A deep snow was i
on the ground. Bob was seated in the chimney
corner, aud the fire not burning freely,
tho old man said: 'Bob, can't you go out
and rustle up a few chips ?' 'No, indeed,'
quoth Bob, 'while I am rustling up chips, I
might rustic up a thundering big snake !' 1
The danger from snakes under the snow, is
equally as probably a story, as Raleigh being
sickly at any time.?Spirit of the Age. <

RETAILING LIQUORS.
It seems to me, that while weave so earn- j
estly appealing to the sympathies of the good i
and benevolent, the affections of Parents and
the common sense of all, to discontinue the
use and abuse of "Alcohol," that we entirely
ncirlect or overlook a class who contribute
greatly to the convenience of the "dramdrinking
community." I mean the retailer
of "Spirits " A man is in a great measure
governed by public opinion in tho selection
of his daily occupation, and could wo bu;
impress it on the minds of a large number
of this class, that dealing in liquor is not a
respectable business, at once you would see
numbers of them doing something else by
which to make a living Now who is to do
this? The answer is plain enough for a child
to see and tell. Let the high minded, honrable
citizens in each community not countenance
the man. But another question is
then asked us : Bo you not believe Sir, that
there aro honest, honorable men engaged in

plan of making it a general rule of not associating
with them, and you will find those |
good men will quit the business and leave it
entirely to those in whom tie community
will have no confidence, and scon a "doggery"
will be a thing unkoown in a civilized
community. This will not only stop the sale
of it?but many who now only indulge in a
social glass, will be ashamed of the company
of those who sell, and quit the use entirely
It is not the example the drunkards sets
that is ruining so many of the young men
of the present day, iut on the contrary it is
the moderate drinker,- Show a drunken
staggering the streets or perhaps lying in the
gutter all covered with filth and dirt, to your
little boy, and he will turn away with horror
and disgust; but let him mingle in polite so
ciety, where the wine-cup is freely used and
all grow merry, where laughter is excited
and jokess pass freely from one to another,
and you will find him soon leaving his toys,
his young companions, his piny, his all, in
a word, to take his place among those who
have become lively and friendly by indulging
in a social glass.
Then strike at the root of the evil, ard
soon we will have the pleasure of seeing
good men leaving this business and cngagicg
in one that will be honorable to any man.?
May God speed the time. W.
A STRONG ARGUMENT.
Mr. Editor:?I know not when my feelings
were more intensely aroused upon the
subject of temperance, than they were a few
days since, in listening to the simple narao
mnn. related bv the minister
LIYU \Jl U ^vvv* ?? ,
upon our circuit. lie said, ho Kad recently
called upon a pood brother, in the last stages
of consumption ; sitting by the fire and spitting
his life away with that troublesome disease.
Said he, "Brother L., you are very
low; and suppose the good Lord calls you
home, what are your prospects of future
happiness?" "Ah!" said he, "brother P.,
I am expecting to die soon. I know not
what hour I may have to go. I have no
fears as to the future. All seems bright,
and I am sure I shall go home to Heaven.
I am sorry to leave my poor little ones without
a father to watch over them, but God
our heavenly Father, will take oaro of them.'i
"I have" said the dying man, "been reviewing
my past life; and there is but one
thing that is cQnnected with the past, which
now troubles me?I once dealt in liquor)
and though I was then ignorant of its evil,
and abandoned it as soon as I found it was
wrong to deal in it, yet when I think that I
may meet some poor widow or orphan at (he
Judgment seat, made so by the liquor I
made and sold, my heart is troubled within
? - II
me
What an evidence this, of the great wrong
in dealing in the article! Well was it for
our good brother, (for we know hint well,
and know him only to love hi n) that lie saw
the wrong and repeated. Many a dealer only
sees his wrong when he is entering thegates
of death, and then it is too late te remedy
the evil.

"Will You Take a Dram?" saidakiod,
matronly woman once, to a Minister of the
Gospel. "No madam," said he, "ministers
do not drink drams." She turned towards
him, looking very quizzically and with a
nod of the head said, "Some of them do."
The minister said, 'Very unworthy ones
may, Madam.' 'Well,' said she, '1 djn't
know, sir, but Mr. ? does.' 'So I thought,'
said the Minister. The fact was the old lady
was a kind hearted woman, and some of
that sort had been to her house, and asked
for a dram, she thought she would offer it to
others.
But do Ministers of the Gospel take drams
now a-days ? Can it be that a man calling
himself an ambassador for Christ, can pollute
his lips with intoxicating liquors ? Verily,
such men must be unworthy, who practice
it. Some, however, think otherwise.?
An old church member once said to us
boastingly, "Bro. is a good preacher.?
Just let him take two stiff drinks, anc'l he
will preach three hours!"
Plainly rut truthfully Spoken.?
The Salisbury Watchman embodies in a uutshell
the certain conscqueoces to young ipen
who indulge in the use of strong drinks, in
the following brief paragraph :
'As fast as one crop of sicilhrs die off. another
crop takes their vacant places. There
are a number of young men in our town
now, frequenting the liquor shops, who look j
down with contempt on a few debased wrecks
p i :... mnnt tlinm Imf timr*
01 nuuiuuiiy mcjr uitt? inv.iv, W- ...v ,
is not far off when there will be those who '
will look down on them. By the time the J
present crop of "hard cases" will all have
gone to their graves, these nice young meu !
will have become confirmed sots, and will [
imperceptibly fill the blank around the doors j
of the doggeries And so it goes on, from
generation to generation."
Tiie Railroad to Ruin.?Surveyd by '
avarice, chartered by county courts, freight- j
ed with drunkards, with gmg-shops for de- !
pots, rum-sellers for enginee rs, bar-tenders
for conductors, and landlords for stockhold-1
ers. Fired up with alcohol, and boiliDg
with deliruhn tremens. The groans of the
dying are the thunders of the trains, and the
shrieks of the women and children are the
whistles of the engines. B3' the help of God
we will reverse the steam, put out the fire,
annul the charter, uud save the freight.? .

The Directors, on a review of the past, feel assurred
that their lnbors in this sphere of benevolent
effort have been of great benefit to the afflicted,
especially to the young, and they have resolved
to devote themselves, with renewed zeal, to
this very important and much despised cause.

that the ancient land marks will ever be kept in
view, and-that the tone and character of the paper
will be thorough 8tate Rights,?that the lessons
taught by Calhoun and his illustrious cotomporaries,
and endorsed by the State Rights Party of
