Jraumras |ieaMng. A HAIRY SHOPKEEPER. Upon the banks of the Mississppi, in the Stdte of Tennessee, there onoe dwelt an old chap by the name of Yadge, Tom Yadge.? Now Tom had been an honest, hard-working man all his life, bat he had never owned a saddle; bat as Tom grew old, his wealth and importance increased, and with it a desire for a hogskin; so ho one day packed up a clean shirt, staffed a hundred dollars into his wallet, stepped npop a steamboat, and away he started down the river for New Orleans to bay a saddle. JNow tnis was tne first trip Tom bad ever made; he had lived all his life where he was born, and had never heard any other language than that of his mother tongue. In the course of a few days he landed upon the levee at New Orleans. >. Poor Tbm, little did he know what he had to enoounter. The Frenchman was there, the German was there?some from all pajts of the world were crowded upon the levee?and there was Tom, with his eyes stretched, and ears open, completely mystified and bewildered at the strange xjt" jargon going on around him; he stood it as long as mortal man well could, and at last struck out, with his mind fully prepared to . be surprised at nothing he saw, upon his errand of the saddle. After meandering about the city for some time, 'he at length found a saddler's shop; Tom with heart eiate waited id. * ,*]?*The first and only living creature which met his vision was a baboon of the largest species Bitting upon the counter, playing with the girths which were hanging from the saddle immediately over his head. Tom very politely had addresed him : 'How do you do sir?' The baboon grinned and ? nodded. 'I wish to buy a saddle, says Tom. The same expression from the mon ,key. In a louder key from Tom?'I want to buy a saddle/ A very polite grin from the baboon. 'I will give you a $20 bill.? The animal, having seen his master put money into the drawer, took it, and bopping along the counter; made a deposit of Tom's $20 note. He returned however; immeditely to his former position. Tom,?'Well, hand us down, the pigskin.' Very little notice from the baboon. Hang it, why don't you give me my saddle? I have paid you for it, so hand it down, or I will take it myself.' An awful ohattering from the baboon Tom, not intending to be fooled with any longer, reached out and caught hold of his property; but no sooner had the poor fellow done so, j than the nails and teeth of the moDkey were driven into his arm. Tom kicked and swore?the baboon bit and screamed?until at last the owner of the shop, a Frenchman with long moustache, came rushing into the room. '^JTbat you do, sare ? What do you want inhere, you old rascal ? By gar, you shall give me satisfacshune.' ? Tom, not in the least daunted; very much exasperated, ripped out, 'You infernal old hairy-mouthed scoundrel! I believe you wish to steal my 820! I came in here, bought a saddle, paid the monkey down for ^aud now when I want to be going with it, your son there has refused to let - me have it and has kicked up a fuss about it!' 1 m t v* jji. J J.ULD, aowever, goo uis sauuie, auu returned the next morning in the boat going 1 up the river; but he has been heard to ' . sweat it was the last thing he ever intended to purchase of that shopkeeper. | PRACTICAL JOKE. 5 We remember hearing a story of a fellow ' who roused a venerable doctor about 12 1 o'clock on a winter's night, and coming to ? ^thVdoor cooly inquired : 'Have-you lost a knife, Mr. Brown?' 1 *' 'No/'frowled the victim. ag$Tell never mind/ said the wag, <1 * raSugbt I'd just call and inquire, for I ( found one yesterday.' ( "TSfe* thought that rather cool, but the iollowing story of Niel McKinnon, a New s York wag, surpasses in impudence, any- ^ thing within our recollection. Bead and ' judge for yourself, gentle reader. When the celebrated 'Copenhagen Jack- 1 son' was British Minister in this country, 1 ?.he resided in N. York and occupied a house 1 on Broadway. Neil, one night at a late hour, in company with a bevy of rough ; riders, while passing the house, noticed it was brilliantly illuminated, and that several carriages were waiting at the door. 'Holloa !' said the wag, what's going on at Jackson's?' 'What!' exclaimed Neil, 'Jackson have a party, and I not invited ? I must see to | that.' So, stepping to the door, he gave a ring trhi'ch soon brought the servant. -M naut tkj ace lue uriusu iuimaier, saiu ; MjU ' 'You must call at some other time/ saidj the servant, 'for he is engaged at a game of whist, and mu9t not be disturbed.' 'Dont talk to me that way,' said McKinnon, 'but go directly and tell the British Minister that I must see him immediately on special business.' The servant obeyed, and delivered his message in so impressive a style as to bring Mr. Jackson to the door forthwith. 'Well,' said Mr. Jackson, 'what can be, your business with me this time of night which is so very urgent?' 'Are you Mr. Jackson ?' asked Niel. 'Yes,sir, lam Mr. Jackson.' 'The British Minister?' 'Yes sir.' 'You have a party here to night, I perceive, Mr. Jackson.' 'Yes sir, I have a party.' 'A large party, I presume.' 'Yes sir, a large party.' 'Playing cards, I understand ?' 'Yes.' '0, well, said Niel, 'as I was passing 11 merely called to inquire, what's trumps.' 'Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth.' Just now that Tennessee nags are distancing all competitors on the turf, by a neck, we propose to show, by the following dialogue, which, we are creditably informed, took place in a ball room in this city recently, that Tennessee ladies ^are out-stripping all competitors in wit and repartee, as well as (an axiomatic fact,) in refined accompilshmcnts and personal charms A certain young lady, whose wit is only j eclipsed by her beauty, was on the occasion I above alluded to, the local point of admira-' tion, and had more satellites than Saturn. Among the number who were only too bap-' py to do her the slightest pleasure was Mr. j A, a young man of the modern school of j beauty, with a good deal of jewelry and a1 very little moustache, which, by dint of [ much coaxing and petting, had jnst made its appearance upon his upper lip, in its most incipent and incipid stages. The young lady to whom we have referred, to test the gallantry of heradmirer, presented him with an almond and requested him to erack it for her. A., only too glad to do her bidding, took the nut, and searching in vain for any other means, cracked it with his teeth and returned it to his inamorata, when the following short but pointed dialogue ensued: 'You have very sharp teeth,' remarked his teaser, dryly. 'Very sharp, I assure you,' replied A. Would you believe it?when a boy I used to amuse myself by biting off the heads of birds and chickens!' <Oh. indeeA wrr nrnhflhle.' renlied the v_7 , ?j r-- / -~r lady, <1 could have guessed as much; I think I can see some of their down upon your upper lip!' Our informant adds that young A. struck a bee line for a barber shop, and has never since attempted to cultivate a moustache.? Memphis Bulletin. I6?* The May number of the Knickerbocker Magazine has the following extract, from a famous Union speech, reported by T. Hulbert Underwood: Daring the exoiting campaign of 185?, in Illinois, a prominent politician made a discussion speech at Quincy. After he was through, and before tbe crowd had dispersed, a man who styled himself " The Aforesaid M. Dwas called for. He was lifted upon the platform, so "elevated" that he could not stand without holding on to something. He said: * "Gentlemen and ladies, you're talkin' of dissolvin' the Union; you can't do it; if you go to?you can't do it! Thar's that are flag a-wavin' up thar, called the StarSpangled Banner; how ye a-goin' to divide that, ha ? Are yea a-goin' to give the stars to the Norf and the stripes to the Souf ?? No Sir-ree: the thing can't be did. "And thar's that good old toon that the band's a-playin' oat thar, called Yankee Doodle; how ye a-goin' to divide that, eh ? Areyeagointo give the Yankee to the Norf and the Doodle to the Souf? I say bodly, the thing can't be did! "And thar's that stream of water a runnin' down thar, called the, <Father-o'-Wot ters'; how are ye a-goin' to divide that?? Are ye goin' to dam it up with Mason and Dixon's line? I say you can't do that thing! Wal, you cant! "And thar's the railroad layin'out thar; how ye a-goin' to divide that, eh ? are you goin to tie it up with Mason and Dixon's line! You can't do it! "And thar's all the fast hosses standin' round here ; how are ye a-goin' to devide them ? old hosses ! Are ye a-goin' to run 'em North and run 'em South, and run 'em East, and run 'em West? "And thar's all the handsom wimmen round here ; how are ye a-goin' to divide them ? Are you goin' to give the old ones to the Norf, and the young ones to the Souf? Waal, you don't! If you goto thunder you can't do it!

Are you goin' to give | the Pnllets to the Norf and the flocks to i ? - ? ? " ?-? I to the South." ] Our reporter could hear no more, for the ( roars of laughter which ensued, as the "Doc < tor" caved in and fell from the platform. PLEA AGAINST THE FACT. Gentlemen of the Jury:?The Scripture saitb, 'Thou shalt not kill.' Now, if you [ lang my client, you transgress the com- j nand as slick as grease, and as plump as a *oose egg in a loafer's face. Gentlemen, j nurder is murder, whether committed by ;welve jurymen or by an humble individual ike my client. Gentlemen, I do not deny J :he hangman may do his duty, but will that izbooerate you ? No such things; in that j :ase you will be murderers. Who among t pou is prepared for the brand of Cain to be stamped upon your brow to-day ??who, freemen, who, in this land of liberty and light? Gentlemen, I will pledge my word, not one of you has a bowie-knife or a pistol in his pocket?ordoriferous with the perfumes of cigar-cases and tobacco of recti tude in a pipe of peaceful conscience; but hang my unfortunate elient, and the scaly alligators of remorse will gallop through the infernal principles of animal viscers, until the spanial vertebra of your anatomi . i j ; , ?i i * cai cuusirucuuu is turnea into a railroad < for the grim, gorp goblins of despair. Gentlemen, beware of committing murder! j Beware, I say, of meddling with the eter- . nal prerogative ! Gentlemen, I adjure you ( by the manumitted ghost of temporal sane- j tity, to do no murder. I adjure you by the | name of woman, the main spring of the ( ticking time-piece of time's theoretical trans- | migration, to do no murder. I adjure by the love you have for the esculent and conditional gusto of our native pumpkin, to I do no murder! I adjure you by the stars , set in the flying consign of your enamel-nated country, tc do no murder ! I adjure you by tne American Eagle, that whipped , the universal game cock of creation, and now sits roosting on the magnetic telegraph of time's illustrious transmigration, to do no murder ! And lastly, gentlemen, if you ever expect to wear store-made coats, if you ever expect free dogs not to bark at you, if you ever expect to wear boots made of the free hide of the Rocky Mountain buffalo;! ana to sum up all. if you ever expect to be anything but a sneaking, loafing, rascally, cut-tbroated, braided, small ebds ot humanity, whittled down into indistinctibility, acquit my client and save your country. The prisoner was acquitted. tap* A traveling Yankee put up at a country inn where a number of loungers were assembled telling stories. After sitting some time and attentively listening to their folly, he suddenly turned and asked them how much they supposed he had been offered for his dog which he had with him. They all rose : one guessed five dollars, another ten dollars, another fifteen, until they had exhausted their patience, when one of them seriously asked how much he had been offered. 'Not a darn'd cent,' he replied. SST" An Arkansas candidate for Congress sets forth his qualifications for office in the following language : 'Gentlemen, if I am elected to CoDgress I will represent my constituents as the sea represents the earth, or as the night contrasts with the day. I will unrive all human society, clean all its parts and screw it together again. I will correct all abuses, purge out all corruption, and go through the enemies of our party like a rat through a new cheese.' He was lccted. jfarottr's ?eprtntmi RAISING TURKEYS. Richardson, in bis work on the Domestic Fowl, has these remarks: Many writers recommend a vast deal of quackery in the treatment of the young chicks. Some go the length of ordering them wine, pepper, bathing in cold water, eto. It is far better to let them alone. For a few hours after hatching, chicks require no food at all; and then instead of cramming them?a process in which you are likely to break the tender beak of the little ohick?chop up a few hard eggs with boiled nettle, parsley and a little bread or curd; make this into paste, and present it to the birds in the pirn of vour hand, or nlace it before them on a ? 7 * stone, taking care that the hen does not rob them. In supplying them water, be careful to put it into very shallow vessels that they cannot wet themselves; for the least moisture appears fatal to them. As the turkey chick does not seek its food immediately on leaving the egg, and the hen seems incapable of instructing her little offspring how to do so, it is a common practice with some to put a few common eggs among the turkey's, (which must be done nine or ten days after setting,) that these coming out with the little turkies may, by force of example, teach thorn to provide for themselves. Unless in very warm weather, the hen and chicks should be housed for a month. If they appear drooping, put powdered caraway seed and a little Cayenne pepper into the food. If you mix the food with milk, let it be previously boiled. Unboiled milk will purge the chicks j but for my own part I prefer pure water. At the age of about two months occurs the most critical period in the life of a turkey, called 'shooting the red,' or the tfme when head and neck acquire the reddish color of adults. This crisis once past, the birds may be regarded as past danger, and exchange the name of chickB for that of turkey poults. The only treatment necessary when a bird is shooting the red, is to furnish nutritive food, with a small pinoh of Cayenne pepper. Bruised hemp seed is also found serviceable. Take care that young turkies never go <"" > on* o/?/?r?nnf /ovnont in flrn WPflfllPr 1 uul uu "V7U"' J until the dew is off the ground; and this should be adhered to till they get to be the size of an old partridge, and have their backs well covered with feathers; and in wet weather they should be kept under cover all day long. As to the feeding of them when young, many nice things are recommended?hard eggs, chopped fine, with crumbs of bread, and a great many other things, but that which I have seen used, and always with success, and for all sorts of young poultry, is milk turned into curds. This is the food for young poultry of all sorts. Some should be made fresh every day, and if this is done, and~the turkey kept warm, not one out of a score will die. When they get to be strong, they may have meal and grain; but still they always love the curds. When they get their head feathers they are hardy enough ; and what they want is room to prowl about. It is best to breed them under a common hen, because she does not ramble like a hen turkey : and it is a very curious thing the turkeys bred up by a hen of the common fowl, lo not themselves ramble when they get )ld. Squash Bug.?Can the editor, or any eaderof The Cultivator, give a convenient md infallible remedy for the large brown squash bug? The kind of bug I speak of s of a dirty brown color, and emits a disigreeable odor, especially when disturbed or filled. This bug is a great pest to squash growers in this region, working nearly all summer upon the main trunk of the vine, at :he base or near it. It also attacks the foung squashes if it should fail in girding ;he vine at the root. They destroyed for;y bills of Hubbards for me last summer. Union Co., 111. A. Babcock. The only infallible remedy we know of, ?lthough not very "convenient," is to kill daily all the bugs that can be found. At he same time care should be taken to destroy the eggs, which are laid in little patches, and fastened by cement to the under side of the leaves. A daily examination svill not consume a great deal of time. Next ;o this we can recommend the protection of svire frames covered with gause, or boxes *et with a pane of glass or piece of gause. rbis insect, (the Coreus tristicoi entomologists,) is common everywhere, and is very lestructive to squashes and pumpkins. It is important to destroy them early in the season, before their number increases so much as to render it difficult, as well as before the plants are destroyed. A good time, is early in the morning, before they have concealed themselves from their nightly depredations.?Albany Cultivator. To Promote the Health of Cattle. ?Mix, occasionally, one pint of salt with four, five or six parts of wood ashes, and give the mixture to differnt kinds of stock, summer and winter. It promotes their appetites and tends to keep them in a healthy condition. It is said to be good against bots in hor5es, murrain in cattle, and rot in sheep. Horse-radish root is valuable for cattle. It creates an appetite, and is good for va-| rious diseases. Some give it to any animal that is unwell. It is good for oxen troubled with the heat. If animals will not eat it voluntarily, cut it up fine and mix it with potatoes or meal. Feed all animals regularly. They not only look for their food at the usual time, but the stomach indicates the want at the stated. period. Therefore, feed morning, noon, and evening, as near the same time as pos sible. Guard agaiDst the wide and injurious extremes of satiating with excess and starving with want. Food should be of a suitable quality, and proportion to the growth and fattening of animals, to their production in young, and milk, and to their labor or exercise. Animals that work, need more food, and that which is far more nutritious, than those that are idle. In a dry time see that the animals have a good supply of water. When the fountains are low, they drink the drains of fountains, streams and passages of water, which are unwholesome. If barns and stables are very tight and warm, ventilate in mild weather,?even in winter.?Exchange.

The Pefection of Scientific Arrangement and Mechanical Simplicity IS ATTAINED BY THE GROVER IB BAKER'S SEWING MACHINE CO., IN TIIEIB Improved Noiseless Machines. ' ' V?:o:?? ' ' , THEY- hare the-following advantaged' over all others: They have no pads to keep in order; no bobbins to wind :'no tangling or waste of thread; no oiling the thread or work; no' tool ohest stocked with Frenches, - pliers-, pickers, leather, &c., &c. The directions'are simple, easily understood, and easily explained by the instructors. There is no takiDg apart cleaning or rolling? They require about ten drops of oil per day, when in constant use. They make no^nore noise than a common clock, even when making fifteen hundred I stitolipa ner minute. Thev run easv?a child ten years can work tfaem to fall speed. They run fast or slow withoqtany danger of altering tbe-ftngtb or tightness of the stitch. They will Hem^ill, Gather, Bind, Stitch and Embroider, in so superior a manner that we challenge comparison. The same Machine will pew pavillion gau'se and plan tation goods'. The seam is elastic as tho most elastic fabric, and will not. break in washing or (toning. The same Machine runs silk, linen thread and common spool cotton, with eqiial facility. The needles are shorter, and therefore stronger than any otherhigh or low priced Machine. That they are superior to all others is evident from the fact of there havingbeen thirty thousand machines made and sold, in competition with others already in suocessful operation. Tho question is no longer which is the best maker, but which of the ndmerous patterns of GROVER & BAKER'S shall I take. PRICES, $50 TO $180. H. W.

We speak in this matter "WHAT WE DO KNOW,"'after ten years' experience, AND PLEDGE OCR REPUTATION FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF WHAT we HERE DECLARE. In almost every instance where the infant is suffering from pnin and exhaustion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty minutes after the syrup is administered. . This valuable preparation is the prescription of one of the most most EXPERIENCED and SKILFUL NUR8ES in New England, and has been used with NEVER FAILING SUCCESS in THOUSANDS OF CASES.
