gming fearing. THE MASTEB PIKE. On the second day of the circuit court week, Turkey Slathers came to town, and managed to keep as usual, about two thirds drunk during the rest of the session. One evening, just as we had got through a consultation concerning a land case, in Colonel Ward's office, Turkey rapped at the door, and immediately opened it half-way and thrust his head through the aperture. "At old sledge, you fellows, or a leetle game of draw !" he enquired. "Neither," answered Ward. "We don't do suoh things here. Come in Turkey." "Oh, no, you don't," rejoined Turkey, as he complied with the invitation?"no, nanjy time. Probably not! I'll bet five dollars to a ninepecce that P. K. has got the four Jacks in his pocket now, ready to make the fipef. r?ne needed iest in the nick uv time.? Well that's natril. A man ain't Commonwealth's Attorney fornothin', I reckin." "Oh, you are a common slanderer, Turkey," I said; for I saw that P. K. did rot relish the groundless imputation. "Nary time, honey! no, sir ? It's universally allowed that I'm the truthiest man in this section uv country. Fact is, there ain't no ohance for bein' anything else; for P. K. thar takes so much morn in his Bheer uv the lying that lays about loose, uther folks hev to put up with truth, whether or no." "Look here, sir," cried P. K., bristling up at the imputation; "I would) advise you to keep your abusive tongue quiet." "Don't be crooked, my son," interrupted Turkey; bekase ^you ain't gwine to gither me. You know that would be parsonally danjerous." Colonel Ward interposed here, and told Turkey that he would not permit him to insult any of his guests. "Why, Ev, I wouldn't mislist no one as you know?speshly P. K., that I've voted for twyste, an's gwine to do it agin?if nobody else don't offer." "I've always treated you well, Turkey," said the mollified candidate for re-election, nosing out a possible vote, "and I can't see why you try to annoy me." "Now thar it is;" and Turkey, as he spoke, seated himself before the grate, and stretching his legs in the shape of a Y, look intently at the coal fire before him. "Yes, that's it! I'm allers treadin on some chap's long heels, and don't know it, ontwell he squawks. Fact is, I respex you P. K.; respex enny man that can dripk a quart uv red eye at one swaller, and holes three aces at poker in sich a mysterious way, his wonders to perforrem. But that ain't what 1 come yer for. I hearn ther wus to be a bustin time to-morrow?all kinds uv great wurks. What's broke ?" I explained to him the occasion of the barbecue, that the friends of the Presidential candidates would meet the next day; that speakers would discuss the merits of the men and the "planks of the platforms" and that there would be "free bait." "Edzackly, answered Turkey. "Will either the men that offers for President be here ?" "Why, no. Candidates for the Presidency don't take the stump; but they will be fully represented. Besides, there will be a good dinner. Dr. Bryan has made great preparations, and so has Harvy Bailey.? Lots of Whisky about Turkey." "I reckin I'll stay. But see here, hoss," addressing me specially by that equine title, "are you fond of geese? Some one tells me you're fond uv sich birds. I wouldn't give a cuss for a heeped waggin load, for my eatin; but it's cording to the way a man's fotched up. I know'd a French feller wunst that eat frogs?yes frogs! an' they do say the houn eat oshters too. Ev, yer told me one time that folks in old Yerginny eat sheep.? I'd jest leave eat a ole he cat. Well, they's been mjghty skeerce on Sandy for two years past.",': "Oats?" . "No?geese." . "I'm sorry for that, for if it had been cats, we could have spared you about fifty out of town, and never have missed them." "Likely, Well, geese won't be sckeerce never no more. I caught that ole he-pike that made sich de-vas-ia-tion among 'em." I saw that Turkey was about to produce one of his famous Munchausenisms, and so, as they say at euchre, I "assisted." "Tell us the story, Turkey." "There ain't no story about it; but jest sol-lid fax. You see, all along Sandy, from the Wayne county line to fernent the mouth uv the Pond, they ain't raised a goose for the rise of three year. Fust plaise they nuvver could find no aigs to set?the birds laid in sich outen way places; but they wus hatched somewhur, for a flood of goslings would make their aperients occasionally, stay about a week, and then scatter one by one. Folks allowed the minx and mus rats tuck em off; but enny how, they went. "Yisterday, I was on the roover, jest below Marrowbone, fishing in the deep hole thar f r peerch, and had two lines out for a cat, hitched to water birch limbs. Some way or uther the fish wus skeery, and would not bite. Chaffinses boy Bill, he come up and he sez? "Turkey, thar's the biggest, bustinest pike in that hole you evvur seed, I tell you, he's the master kind. laddy gigged him last spring; the gig it hilt its holt, but the fish was so powerful strong daddy had to let go. The fish kerried off the gig, and swum with the hannel held outen water for over three months, and then it broke out. He's a crowder. He aint a yinch less'n six foot long, and weighs as much as our bay colt.' "Well, I didn't edzactly swallerall Bill's noration, but I know'd in reasin there was something skeerin the peerch off, and thinks I, I'll lay for you. So I anchors a pole in the middle, and ties three uv the biggest cat fish hooks together, an fixes quills around the line to keep the pike's teeth from sawio it in two, and then I puts on a big red horse whootch I ketched with a worrum, and I sets it. Soon as I done that, I goes to a deep hole fernent the mouth uv "Wolf, and thar I fishes for peerch. Bill he would not go long, but he wanted to see me ketch the master pike. "I fished an I fished, aud the more I fished the more I didn't ketch. Jest as fast as I'd fix the bait on, the gars?I don't know what gars was made for ennyhow, do you ? "To strip off bait, of course," said Hick White, who lay stretched at full length on the old green lounge. "Then I'm dog goned ef they didn't kerry out their original intention yisterday, for they tuck off bait a heap faster than I put it on. At long last I did ketch somethin? a ugly, mean, nc account gwonno?and I i was so mad I pitched him clean over my head into the roover bottom, and I quit in disgust. I allowed I stopped then an thar, an I did. Jest then I hearn Bill Chaflms sing out he was thar. " I run down stream, and I meets Bill on the jump, his eyes as big as Bassers, and his tongue gwine like a flutter wheel. I looks over into the hole, an I tell you, the roover jest filled ! Sich sloshin you nuvver seed afore. The old pike was hookt, and he was a scrowger! He wuz the antickest feller you uvver seed. Fust he'd dive down, and could not see a mite of the pole; and then he'd come up, and the top av the pole'd jump outen water more'n a hundred feet. "Chaffinses kunno was fastened to a birchroot hard by, so I makes her loose, and Bill an I gits in her, and I poles her out. But we ceuld'nt raise the fishinpole no how.? Uvrv time the pike'd see us, he'd dodge and shoot, and keep the pole down. At last I takes the set pole, and putsitondertheline; but jest as I git it up to the top, the pike he'd querld hisself, and off the line'd slanuch. I fooled my time thar for over six hours, as nigh as I could jedge, an I got tired.? Bill Bed he'd dive down and rise the pole.? So he barked hisself and in he goes. He swum round a spell, and div down, but he wasn't strong enough to raise again the fish, so he give that up. I looks down agin, and I could see nothing more uv the fish, and I know'd he had pulled the anchor loose, and kerried off the pole, so I says to Bill, who was a sittin in the starn eend, with his knees to his chin, an his fingers to his toes, doubled up like a bull frog, "we'll go down to your house and get something to make a drag." Wit1, that I gives the kunnoo a couple uv hard shoves an lands her, and I sez to Bill? 'Sonny, you go in an ax mammy for the pot hooks and the bed-cord, or a close line.' (I didn't hear him answer, and I turned roun, and lo, and behole! Bill wasn't thar. 'I thought first he'd got out, though I didn't see how; but I sees his old straw hat a floatin down the roover, and then I know'd he fell overboard, and I spected he wuz drownded. I felt awful bad about the leetle cuss, and stood there an considered a spell. Dreckly Miss Chaffins, she sees me, and she sez? "Whar's Bill ?" ' Why,' I sez, 'I reckin he's up the bank some-whar. He wuz with me a little while back,' I sez, for I didn't rightly know what to say. 'Sez she, 'He's gone up the Dry branch, I ?aa^in Ia IaaIt +V?of ofrott c*r\m nf niirn ' lOViivm, w .wa ??" 1 Yes ma'am,' I sez, <1 heern him say something about a cow.' 'Well, Miss Chaffins she sed dinner wuz ready, and I wuz welcome, would I set up ? and I sot down ; but I didn't eat more'n a poun uv middlin, an a couple uv pones uv bread, for my heart wuz heavy. Ef I'd a hed some red eye I thing I could hev drunk a quart, I wuz in such low sperrets. But I hedn't narry drap. 'Arter dinner I went out and tuck to fishin again, for I wuz so distracted I didn't know what to do. I flung mc line in agin at the deep hole, an suddenly I got a leetle the fiercest bite that uvver wuz. It tuck hard strugglin to keep my feet, an I was dubertating whether the line'd break, or I'd git dragged inter the drink, when I sees Bill's daddy, that he'd bin over to Warfield, crossin at the shoal, and he seed I wuz in trouble and rid up. I 'splained things, and he lights, an purposes at wunst a gwine in, whootch de did. He swum out and div down, and when he riz he sez? <1 got holt uv a pole an line, an he's on it.' 'It wus the old identical pike, as hed hookt hisself agin. It wus a tolerable peert match?the fish a kickin an plungin, and Chamns he a swarrin an ravin, an I a cavortin an snortin?an I jumps in too, close an all, an tuck holt. Between us both we got him out. He wuz a crowder, though, and fit desput, and we wuz ableeg'd to stunt him with rocks, and then we dragged him to Chaffinses house. 'When we got thar, he looked so large aroun the middle that T was curious to seo what wuz in him, so I takes a butcher knife, and jobs it inter him, rippin him clean up, an out jumps Bill.' What!" we exclaimed, simultaneously. 'Bill Chaffins,' continued Turkey, 'what had fell overboard, an bin swallered hole. Oh, that ain't a primin to what's comin. Fact is, Bill wuzn't hurt a mite !?though hcsed it wuz mighty warm in thar. But the mystery about the goslins come to light. We foun two levil bushil uv goose aigs inside of the pike?an the thing was clear enough.? You see the geese they'd lay their aigs in the water, and this grand raskil hed swaller em whole. The heat jiv the animil'd hatched 'em an he'd feel kine uv misserbul with them a crawlin in thar' an he'd make 'em leave. In about a weeks time he'd git over the skeer, and gobble 'em up in the 7ater, one by one, as they swum. He's done with that business now, I reckin, an fethers '11 be a heap plentier next year on Sandy, that's certing.'?Southern Literary Messenger.

S&F A very ignorant, but very foppish young fellow, going into a bookseller's shop with a relation, who went thither to buy something he wanted, seeing his cousin look into a particular book, asked why that made him smile. 'Why,' answered the other, 'this book is dedicated to you, cousin Jack.' 'Is it so ?' said he, 'pray let me see it, for I never knew that I had such an honor done me.' Upon which taking it into his hands, he found it to be Perkins' Catechism, 'dedica- < ted to all ignorant persons.'

As a matter of interest, at present, we give the following result of desperate battles fought in Europe since 1812 : On the heights, four miles from Salamanca, in Spain, the English and Spaniards under Wellington, totally defeated the French under Marmont, on the 22d of July, 1812. The allies lost five thousand two hundred men, and the French sixteen thouand. At the battle of Smolenski, in Russia, in 1812, the French loss was seventeen thousand, and that of the Russians ten thous- J and. At Borodino, on the 7th September, was fought a desperate battle between the Russians and the French. The French loss in killed, and wounded and prisoners, fifty thou sand; and the Russians about the same number. The survivors of the French army, from the Russian campaign, were not more than thirty-five thousand out^ of an army of five hundred thousand men. At Lutzen, in Russian Saxony, on the 2d May, 1813, the allied Russian and Prussian 1 forces were defeated by the French under Napoleon, the French losing eighteen thousand, and the allies fifteen thousand men. At Bautzen, in Saxony, on the 21st and 22d of May, 1813, a battle took place between the allies and the French, in which the French loss was put down at twenty-five thousand, and that of the allies fifteen thousand. At Dresden, in Saxony, on the 26th and 27th of August, 1815, the allies were defeated by the French. The loss of the allies was about twenty-five thousand in killed, wounded and prisoners, and that of the French about twelve thousand. At Leipsic, in Saxony, in October, 1813 a j desperate battle was fought, which lasted three days, and the French were totally defeated by the allies. Napoleon lost two marshals, twenty generals and sixty thousand men. The allies lost one thousand seven hundred and ninety officers and about forty thousand men. At Vitoria, in Spain, on the 21st of June, 1813, the English and French fought a battle, in which the French lost seven thousand and the English five thousand one hundred and eighty men. At Tolouse, in France, Wellington defeated the French under Soult, on the 10th of April, 1814. The French loss was four i thousand seven hundred; allied army's loss four thousand five hundred and eighty men. , At Ligny, in France, a battle occurred between the Prussians and French on the 16th June, 1815, two days before the battle of Waterloo, in which the -Prussians lost fifteen thousand men, and the French six thousand eight hundred. In the indecisive battle at Quatre Bras, in Belgium, on the 17th of June, the day before tbat of Waterloo, the allies lost five thousand two hundred men, and the French one hundred and fourteen. At Waterloo the total loss of the allien was sixteen thousand six hundred and thirty-six men. Napoleon's was about forty thousand. N either the Austrians nor the Prussians ' can derive much encouragement from history to engage in a war with France. The French troops have only been matched in these wars by the English and the Russians ?scarcely by the last named. THE WAY THE MONEY GOES. We saw yesterday, says the Philadelphia North American, a cradle costing four hundred dollars. The article was made of papier mache, inlaid with peral, and gotton up with a degree of elaborateness exceeding any thing of the kind that was ever presented to our observation. The article is for 1 Rale, thnnch whether it will be advertised or ! not remains to be seen. That four hundred i dollar cradle, we take it, will play the mischief in its way. A rush will be created to see it and every mother in the crowd will desire just such a cradle for her boy ''William Augustus Fitsclarence." In a good many instances, "William Augustas Fitsclarence' will be gratified. Ma will get the cradle aforesaid; Pa will pay for it. In about ; six months afterwards, Pa will discover that his cash account runs short. To cure 'shorts' Pa will try his hands at a little forgery, and draw a sixty days' note on his friend Sparkle, who gives those 'splendid suppers.'? Just before note comes due, Sparkle sees document and pronounces it a forgery, Sparkle calls on Pa, and asks 'what it all means ?' Pa says he will explain it in the morning. Morning comes and Pa don't come down to i breakfast; Ma says, 'that's queer. Chsrubina, go up and see what Pa is doing.' C'heru bina obeys orders and finds what Pa is doing 1 ?hanging to bed cord from a garret rafter, < Cherubina rushes down stairs and tells Ma. < Ma falls and kills poodle. The servants 1 take the alarm, cry fire, and throw parlor ] mirrors into the back yard. Noise alarms policemen. Policemen rush in and after applying burnt feathers to Ma's nose, rush up stairs and cut down Pa with a jack-knife, containing two broken blades. The Coroner comes and sits upon Pa. Verdict 'death by hemp.' Funeral next day?Ma so much smothered in black crape that she might pass for a thunder cloud, especially when she weeps. Pa is carried Tto Laurel Hill and 'run into the ground.' Ma becomes 'brokenhearted,' and opens a boarding house for the sale of two marriageable daughters. Ma drags out a miserable existence, and declares herself the victim of inexorable fate.' In all this Ma makes an immense mis- 1 take. Instead of being the victim of fate, she is the victim of a four hundred dollar cradle. Other Mas see this, and yet they follow the same direction, and end their career in the same manner. Fools will not be learned wisdom from the misfortunes of oth ers. Une-half our bankruptcies are caused v by our four hundred dollar cradles and simi- i lar gimcracks, bought by empty-headed 1 women to excite envy in the bosoms of a f score or two of empty-headed acquaintances, c lllltl r 4^* A table inserted in a paper in the \ Assurance Magazine exhibits results of a ^ rather startling character. In the first two ? quinquennial periods, 20-25 and 25-30, the probability of a widower marrying in a year is three times as great as that of a bachelor ; at 30, it is nearly four times as great; 1 from 30 to 45, it is five times as great; and it. increases, until at 60 the chance of a wid- d Dwor marrying in a year is eleven times as t: great as that of the baohelor. It is curious ^ ;o remark, from this table, how confirmed a ;ither class becomes in its condition of life c ?how little likely, after a few years, is a I Dachelor to break through his settled habits ? md solitary condition; and, on the other band, how readily in proportion does a husband contract a second marriage who has been deprived prematurely of the first partner. After the age of 30, the probability of \ bachelor marrying in a year diminishes in i most rapid ratio. The probability at 35 Is not much more than half that at 30, and nearly the same proportion exists between sach quinquennial periods afterwards. insiiuss Itotitts. dr. alfred craven lleafciti Surgeon fratist, YORKVILLE, S.

Perfectly, restore the gray, cover the bald with nature's own ornament, the hair; moke it more soft and beautlfhl than any oil, and preserve the scalp free from aU disease to tho greatest age. Statesmen, Judges, Attorneys, Doctors, Clergymen, Professional men and Gentlemen and Ladies of all classes, all over the world, bear testimony that we do not say too much la Its favor. Reud the following, and judge: hickory grove, 8t Charles Co., Mo., Nov. 19,1857. Prof. O. J. Wood?Dear Sir: Some time last summer we were induced to use some of your Hair Restorative, and its effects were so wonderful, we feel it our duty to you and the' afflicted, to report It. Our little son's head for some time had been perfectly covered with sores, and some called it scald head. The hair almost entirely came off in consequence, when a friend, seeing his sufferings, advised us to uso your RestoraUve, wo did so with little hope of success, but to our surprise, and that of all our friends, a very few applications removed the disease entirely, and a new and luxuriant crop of hair soon started vuv, uuu nc vou uu<t oaj uwuiu iK)/ uiu a ncaiuiy a scaip and as luxuriant a crop of lialr as any other child. We can, therefore, and do hereby, recommend your Restorative, as a perfect remedy for all diseases of the scalp and hair. We are yours respectfully, Geo. W. Hiooinbotham, Sarah A. Hiooixbotham. Pro. Wood?Dear Sir: My hair had for several years, been becoming prematurely gray, accompanied by a harshness which rendered the constant application of oil necessary in dressing it. 'When I commenced using your Hair Restorer about two month ago it was in that condition -, and having continued its use till within tho last three weeks, it has turned to Its natural color, and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced by tho application of oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I regard it as an indispensable article for every lady's toilet, whether to be used as a Hair Restorative or for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have permission to refer to me all who entertain any doubt pf its performing all that is claimed for it. MBS. C. 8YMONDS, Cincinnati, O., Feb, 10,1857. 114 Third st. Wellington, Mo., Dec, 5,1857. prof, wood?Dear Sir: b% the advice of a friend of mine, who had been using your Hair Restorative, I was induced to try it. I had the fever, some time last May, and nearly every hair in my head came out Now my hair has come in a great deal thicker than ever it was. Nothing but a duty and sympathy that I feel to communicate to others , who are afflicted as I have been, would induce me to give this public acknowledgement of the benefit I have received from Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. Yours Respectfully, A. R. JACOBS. The Restorative is put up in bottles of 3 sizes, viz: large medium and small; the small holds i a pint and retails for one dollar per bottle; the medium holds at least twenty per cent, more in proportion than the small, retails for two dollars per bottle; the large holds a quart, 40 per cent more in proportion' and retails for 93 a bottle. 0.
