She'd knook at the gate with her horns jest as sensible as any other human critter. Her name was Rose. I never knowed how she got that name, for she was blaok as a kittle. Well, one day Rose got sick and wouldn't eat nothin, poor thing! and a day or two arter she died; I rally do believe I cried when that poor critter was gone. W ell, we went a little spell witnoat a cow; bat I told Mr. Scragging it would not dae no way nor no how: for have another oow we must; and he gin in.? Whenever I said must, Mr. Soruggins knowed I meant it?well, a few days arter be cum home with the finest cow and young calf you ever seed. He gin thirty dollars for her and the calf, . and two levies to a man to help bring her hum. Well, they druv her into the baokyard,and Mr. Scraggins told me to come oat and see her, and I went up to her jest as I use to did to Rose; and when I said, 'Poor Sukey,' would you believe it, the nasty brate she kioked me right in the fore part of my back. Her foot ootohed into my dress, bran-new dress tue, oost two levies a yard, and she took a levy's worth right out, jest as clean as the back of my hand. I screached right out, and Mr. Seruggins ootohed jrmr as I was dropping?I wan't quite so heavy then In I am now.: and he carried me to the door, and I went in and sot down. 1 felt kind o' faintish, I was so 'bomnibly skeered. < Mr. Seruggins said he'd larn ber better manners, so he picked up the poker and went out. But I hadn't hardly begun to git a leetle strengthened up afore in rushed my dear, dear husband, flourishing the poker, aixfthat wicions cow arter him, with her head down and tail up, like all mad. Mr. Seruggins jumped into the room; and before he had time to tarn round and shut the door, that desp'rate cow was in tue. Mr. Soruggins got up on the dining table, and I run into the parlor. I thought I'd be sate there, bat 1 was skeered 10 bad thpt I forgot to shet the door, and, would you believe it ? after hooking over the diningtable and rolling Mr. Scruggins off, in she walked into the parlor, shaking her head, jest as much as to say, 'I'll give you a touch now.' I jumped on a chair, but thinking that wan't high enough, I got one foot on the brass knob of the Franklin stove, and put the other on the mantlepiece. You ought to have seen that cow in our parlor. She looked all round as if she was 'mazed. At last she looked into the looking-glass, and thought she see another cow exhibiting passion, like herShe shuck her head and pawed'the] "ckrpet, and so did her reflection, and, would you believe it? the awful brute went right into my looking-glass! Well, then I boohood right out. I 'spose she thought she heard her oalf, for she poked her head into Mr. Scruggins' book-case? no doubt she smelt the calf-skin covers. All this time 1 was sitting agonized. The brass knob on the stove got so hot that I had to sit on the narrow mantle piece and hold on to nothin'. I dassaint move, for fear I'd slip off. Mr. Scrngginscome round to the front door, but it was locked, and then he cum to the window and opened it. I jumped down and run for the window, and hadn't more than got my head out afore I heard that critter coinin' arter me. Gracious, but I was in a hurry. More haste less speed always; for the more I tried to climb qnick, the longer it took me; and, .would you believe it? jest as I got ready to jump down, that brute of a cow cotched me behind, and turned me clean over and over out of the window. Well, when I got right'side up (as they put on looking-glass boxes,) I looked up to the window, and there stood that cow, with her head between the white and red curtains, and with another piece of my dress dangling on her horns. Well husband and me was jest starting for the little alley that run along side of the house, wheu the cow gin a bawle, and out| the window she come, whiskin' her tail about. It cotched on fire in the Franklin | stove and it served her right. Mr. Scrug-1 gins and me run into the alley in such haste - we got wedged fast. Husband tried to get ahead, but I'd been in the rear long enough, and I wouldn't let him. And, would you believe it? that dreadful cow no sooner seen us in the alley, when she made a dash.? But, thank goodness! she struck fast toe. Husband tried the gate, but that was fast, and there was nobody inside the house to open it. Mr. Scruggins wanted to climb over and unbolt it, but I wouldn't let him. I wasn't going to be left alone again with i that desperate cow, if she was fast; and I V made him help me over the gate. Ah, dear! climbing a high gate, when you are skeered by a cow, is a dreadful thing, and I know it! Well, I got over, let husband in, and then it took him and me and four other neighbors to git that dreadful critter out of the alley. She bellowed and kicked, and her calf bellowed to her, and she bawled agin ; but we got her out at last, and sich a time, ah dear! <1 had enough of her; husband sold her for $20 the next day. It cost him seventy cents to git her to market; and when he tried to pass one of the 85 bills he got, would yon believe it ? the nasty rag was . a counterfeit. Mr. Scruggins said to his dying day that he believed I know what cows is.' The old lady's agitation was so great at this point of her story, she dropped a stitch in her knitting. ANECDOTE RELATED BY PRESIDENT MADISON. I believe the only time I laughed, except at the jokes of a greater man than myself, during the period I remained "an object of envy to millions, was on an occasion I shall never forget. I was called out of my bed, early one winter morning, by a person coming on business of the utmost consequence, and dressed myself in great haste, supposing it might be a summons to a cabinet council. When I came into my private office, 1 found a queer, long-sided man, at least six feet high, with a little apple-head, a ioDg queue, and a tace, critically rouod, as rosy as a.ripe cherry. He banded me a letter from his excellency, the Honorable Peleg Peshell, rocommending him particularly to my patronage. I was a little iuclined to be rude, but checked myself, remembering that I was the servant of such men as my visitor, and that I might get the reputation of an aristocrat, if I made any distinction between man and man. ?Well, my friend, what situation do you / \ wish?' \ <Wh-y-y, I'm not very particular; but some how or other I think I should like to be a minister. I don't mean of the gospel, but one of them ministers to foreign parts.' ?I'm very sorry, Very sorry, indeed; there is no vacanoy just now. Would not something else suit you?' 'Why-y-y,' answered the apple-headed man, <1 wouldn't much care if I took a situation in one of the departments. I wouldn't much mind being a comptroller, or an auditor, or some sueh thing.' 'My dear sir, I'm sorry, very sorry, very sorry, indeed, but it happens, unfortunately, that all these situations are at present filled. Would not you take something else ?' Mb friend sfrnbpd tiin ehin. ?nd seemed J ? 7 struggling to bring down the soarings of his high ambition to the present crisis. At last he answered: 'Why-y-y, ye-s-s I don't care if I get a good collectorehip, or inspectorship, or surveyorship, or navy agency, or anything of that sort.'" 'Really, my good Mr. Phippenny,' said I, 'I regret exceedingly that not only all these places, but pvery other place of oonsequence in the government, is at present occupied. Pray think of something else.' Hetheh, after some hesitation, asked fora clerkship, and finally the place of messenger to one of the public offices. Finding no vacancy here, he seemed in vast perplexity, and looked all around the room, fixing his eye at length on me, and measuring my height from head to foot. Then, putting on one of the drollest looks that ever adorned the face of man, he said: 'Mister, you and I seem to be built pretty much alike?haven't you some old clothes you can spare ?' Oh, what a falling off was there ! from a foreign mission to a suit of old clothes, which the reader may be assured I gave him with infinite pleasure, in reward for the only honest laugh I enjoyed for years afterward... EACH WITH A BULL. Some forty years ago, the managers of a race course near Brownville on the Monongahela, published a notice of a race, one mile heat, on a particular day, for a purse of 100, free for any thing with four legs and hair on.' A man in the neighborhood, Hays, had a bull that he was in the habit of riding to mill with bags of corn, and he determined to enter him for the race, fie said nothing about it to aDy one, but be rode round the track a number of times, on several moonlight nights, untill the bull had the hang of the ground pretty well, and would keep the right course. He rode with spurs, which the bull considered particularly disagreeable; so much so that he always bellowed when they were applied to bis sides. On the morning of the race, Hays came up on the ground on horseback?on his bull. Instead of a saddle, he had dried an ox hide, the head part of which, with the horns still on, he had placed on the bull's rump. He carried a short tin horn in bis hand. He rode to the Judge's stand, and offered to enter his bull for the race; but the owners of the horses that were entered objected. Hays appealed to the terms of notice, insisting that his bull had 'four legs and hair on,' and that therefore he had a right to enter him. After a good deal of swearing, the Judge's declared themselves compelled to decide that the bull had a right to run; and he entered accordingly. When the time for starting arrived, the bull and the horses took their places. The horse-racers were out of humor at being bothered with the bull, and at the burlesque which they supposed was intended, but ? i . n t_ _ tnougDt 11 wouia oe over as soon as me horses started. When the signal was given they did start. Hays gave a blast with his horn and sunk the spurs into the sides of the bull, which bounded off with a terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox-hide flapping up and down, and rattliog at every jump, making a combination of noises, that had never been beared on a race-course before. The horses flew off the track, every one seeming'to be siezed with a sudden determination to take the shortest cut to get out of the Redstone country, and none of them could be brought back in time to save their distance. The purse was given to Hays. A general row ensued; but the fun of the thing put the crowd all on the side of the bull. The horsemen contended that they were swindled out of the purse, and if it had not been for Hays' horn and ox-hidc, which he ought not to have been permitted to bring upon the ground, the thing would not! have turned out as it did. Upon this, Hays told them that his bull could beat any of their horses anyhow, and if they would put up 3100 against the purse he had won, he would take off the ox-hide, and leave his tin horn, and run a fair race with them. His offer was aacepted, and his money staked. They again took places at the starting post, and the signal wa3 given. Hays gave [the bull another touch with his spurs, and | the bull gave a tremendous bellow. The horses, remembering the dreadful sound, thought all the rest was coming as before. Away they went again, in spite of all the exertions of their riders, while Hays galloped his bull around the track again and won the money. A Knowing 'Court.'?An anecdote is related of a court held in a village not a thousand miles from Paris, Maine, during the Da<-t year, which we regard as one of the richest in its line of any that has been rej corded, and we give it to our readers as 1 nearly a9 we can recollect it. j The case on trial was the sale of liquor : The principal witness was singularly obtuse ; jand though confessing to have made a pur'chase could not forthe life of him tell what : the article was. The most ingenious questioning could not briog it out. At last the ; attorney asked him? 'How did it taste ?' i 'I d'no,' replied the witness. | Here 'the court'interposed, alleging that jto be an improper question, and enquiring why such an interragatory was put Well, your honor,' replied the attorney, 'I was unable to make the witness tell what kind of liquor he bought; but I though if j he would tell you how it tasted, the court mialit be able to determine for issclf!' The hit was too palpable, and not even the solemnity of the place, nor the cause, was sufficient to restrain the mirth of the audience. SSyBrownlow, has published in his paI per a letter dated 'Hell, February 21st.'? Prentice, says the letter is evidently the good Parson's, but that he was not at home when he wrote it.

They are best situated to be happy, who are neither too high nor too low?high enough to see models of good manners, and obscure enough to be left in the sweetest of solitudes. In 1784, a vessel, containing eight bags of cotton, was seized at the custom house in Liverpool, on the conviction that so much cotton could not be the growth of America. A young lady, a few evenings since, said to her cavalier, 'Please clasp my cloak !' 'Certainly,' said he clasping his arms around her, 'and the contents, too.' Lady Mary Wortley Montague said the severest thing ever uttered agaiost her sex : 'It goes far to reconcile me to being a woman?the reflection that by no possibility shall lever marry one.'
