A:'StotoCtte I*tely <*rerfc??rd In the Lobby or Congre??. . BX PETER PEPPEBCOBN. How many thing* aro there concealed, Through interest and through fee How manv things are there revealed. When women disagree. [A Grain from. Peter's Pepper-box. MMI.V5IK NORTH. . Bavs Madame North to Madame South, 1 think it is a shame, ma'am, That you should be so obstinate Who are alone to blame, ma'am. That I have always been your friend You know bvmuch experience, ma'am. And think how I have lately shown My kindness and forbearance, ma am. It really gives mo trouble, And I say it with regret, ma'am. That after all my love Tor you, y<?0 still should fume and fret, ma'am - You ought, I'm sure, to thank mo For the kindness I have shown, ma'am. And pay my debt and taxes, And repudiate your own, ma'am. I ask you but to take an oath And swear that I am right, ma'am. And believe just as I believe. That black's as good as white, ma'am. Ah, me! how happy you might be, From every danger freed, ma'am, By kneeling "down and ewearing to The Massachusetts creed, ma'am. MADAME SOUTH. Says Madame South to Madame North, Your words are vorv kind, ma'am, Bat don't think I shall turn the stone, That you your axe may grind, ma'am, Had I done wrong, I'm sure I would Most, willingly atone, ma'am. But ask me not to take an oath, Till yon can keep your own, ma'am. How many years have I by you Been villified and slighted, ma'am Denounced as cruel, brutal, vile, Contemptible, benighted, ma'am? And now you ask cae to kneel down. And justify your lies, ma'am. But, no; your oaths, beliefs and creed, I utterly despise, ma'am. Pray tell mo why I ought to pay The debts you have created, ma'am. While raine, a debt as just as yours, You have repudiated, ma'am. Toplunder and to injure mo, 13Your money has been spent, ma'am; J swear, unless compelled by force, . I'll never pay one cent, ma'am. MADAME NORTH. Your wicked words <tre quite enough To make Christians faint, ma'am; But,'thank the Lore' 1 always had The patience of a saint, ma'am. To think, of every sinful wrong, I should be thus accused, ma'am: But well I know good actions are The first to be abused, ma'am. How many persons ia this world Are tempted by the devil, ma'am, But I have always found it best To return good for evil, ma'am; But still I will not be abused Without sufficient reason, ma'am, And if you slander me again I'll have yott tried for treason, ma'am. Remember this: do what I will, There shall be no complaints, ma'am; The land and everything thereon Belong unto the saints, ma'am. Moreover, PU not be annoyed By your disloyal tongue, ma'am, And pay my debt and tax you shall, _ Let it he right or wrong, ma'am. MADAME SOUTH. Just like you* * ''oe-pegs, clothes-pin . clocks, * Nutmegs and w den hams, ma'am, Your justice, lovo and piety Axe nothing more than sham, ma'am. A saint, indeed! a Yankee saint, A saint as Black as soot, ma'am. For underneath your shoddy cloak I see your cloven-foot, ma'am. Think not by bawUng .'Liberty!" Mankind will be deceived, ma'am; Your lying words may pr'aps be read, But never be bebe vea, ma'am; For who believes a Yankee book, In fcotratry or in town, ma'am And ain't lt bravery to strike A woman when she's down, ma'am. I know your dander's getting up, I see it in your looks, ma'am, But answer: Where are all my goods, Clothes, furniture and books, ma'am - Tho spoil of cities sacked and burned Of homes and fields laid waste, ma'am Before the world you stand to-day Convicted and disgraced, ma'am. MADAME NORTH. No longer will I sit to hear Such treasonable stuft", ma'am; You are a wicked copperhead, I sea it plain, enough, marm. However, if you don't submit, - . There shall be no connection, ma'am. Between us-nor you shan't go out, Nor yet oome in the Union, ma'am. MADAME SOUTH. (io home and eat your johnny-cake, Baked beans and roasted clams, rua'2 And peddle round your spurious wares. Nutmegs and wooden liams, ma'am. And do not make yourself a fool By making such a din, ma'am; For if I never have been out, How can I come in, ma'am? [Philadelphia Sunday Mercuri Fortune-Telling. There is a disposition very pre lent among the human species to 1< into their future destiny; to end vor to ascertain 'beforehand wha to be thoir condition-whether i or poor-fortunate or unfortunat happy or miserable. That they v leam all these things without go tc? a fortune-teller, and thus save b time and money, we have, with g? care, study and observation, cone ed for their use the following inf ble rules, which will be found ur the head of their respective mon AU that is necessary to the cor understanding of them is for reader to recollect the month in wi ho was born, especially when apr. to the latitude and longitude of our first-rate, truly republican ever beloved country. N. B._T especially read when thc moon i Perigee, and near the full-but answer, upon a pinch, for any c time : JANUARY. He that is born in January. Mves to be a hundred years old see many a cold day, and meet many a heart equally as cold, nose, unless [well protected with or'some other warm commodity become as blue as a red potato < lilH ' time he ventures to face a North? easter, when the mercury is below zero; and both-his ears and his feet will stand a tolerable chance to be frozen on the same occasio*. In love matters, it will, in all probability, go hard wi di him, should'he chance to woo an icicle, and marry a mustard . pot. Should he happen to fail in money mattera, he will, ten to one, be as poor as Job's turkey, and final? ly, whether rich or poor, he, will cer? tainly die for want of breath. FEBRUARY. Those who are born in February I will, for the most part, never know I which side their bread is buttered, not because they will be stone-blind or devoid of taste, but because the butter will be spread so thin. Many of them will fail in their own specu? lations, and more stiL will speculate upon other people's failings. Those who have one quaker foot will never make good dancers, and those who have two, in all likelihood, will not ? dance at all. And every son and daughter of them, unless they get married or die in season, will be old bachelors and old maids. Do not be born in this month, if you can help it. MARCH. Those who enter this world in March will seldom meet with too much either of love, friendship or compassion. They will many a time fall down and bump their heads in infancy; will frequently beg in vain for dimes, candy, ginger-bread and play-things, in childhood; will have more conceit than either knowledge or good sense in youth, and have cause to complain, in a greater or less degree, of the many hard rubs they will meet with during the rest of their lives. They will every winter be liable to colds and coughs, and if they do not die of some other disease, will be very likely to go off by a pleurisy or consumption. APRLL. Those who are born in April will presently begin to cry; and should they Uve and grow up; will shed a great many tears before their life is finished. The females, when they have the hysterics, will laugh and cry in the same breath, and the males will generally have cause enough to weep without an onion. Many of the women will have elegaut heads of hair, if they do not spoil it with combs and curling irons, and many of the men will be in the habit of get? ting shaved. Most of the women will get married if they can, and the I gray niare will frequently be the bet ! ter horse. As for the men, some of j them will be rich, and the rest from I poor to middling. MAY. Those who ar? born in May, if they have light hair, will very often have blue eyes and fair complexions. Many of the males will be nearly sis feet high, and many of the females will be much inclined to fall in love, espe? cially between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, and should they make prudent matches, enjoy good health, possess a good temper, nave obedient children and plenty of mo I ney, they will be apt to lead a very i comfortable hie. JUXE. j Those who are born in June, and ? escape disease, will be as blooming as I the rose, and will scarcely know what I pain is. They will, for the most part, I be ardent lovers-the men of good \ eating and thc women of fine clothes. ? The men will generally be as happy as j circumstances will permit; and they will contrive, by hook or crook, to ! live out all their days. The women j will be exceedingly pleasant when they are in good humor; and, with very few exceptions, will live long as j they can. They will, a majority of j them, get married, and leave plenty I of heirs. Some of them will leave j estates, und some will not; and where i there is nothing left to quarrel about, ! there will be the less litigation. JULY. This is usually a hot month to be ! born in; and many of the July flow I ers will fall before they arrive at ma ' turity. A great many of the men ; will be fools, and a great many of the ; women coquettes. Those who are i married, unless they should happen I to agree, will be apt to quarrel like j cats and dogs, and those who live . and die single will never know what j it is to be married. The men, when i they are provoked, will very often fly in a passion; and the women, under similar circumstances, will sometimes pout so as to spoil their beauty; and neither males nor females will enjoy a ' moment's happiness until they get ! fairly over their anger. AUGUST. j Very few persons would be born in j August, if they could help it, and oi i those who are born, very few art j either wiser, healthier or happiei I than they should be. They are gene I rally subject to sad disappointment, ! and hardly ever attain to the ful ? height of their wishes. Those whe j lay plans to get immensely rich wil I mostly fail in their schemes; anc ! those who marry for love will be verj j apt to wish they had married foi j money, and vice versa. The sons j unless they have a particular regare I for tra th, will many of them be liars \ and the daughters, not a few of them I will be notorious chatter-boxes. Man j of both sexes will die of cholen morbus, fever, or some other com fdaint; and not one in a dozen wil ive to be a hundred years old. [ SEPTEMBER. t This is a very clever month to b< i born in for those that live and d< well. The men, with luck and goo< 1 management, will get aa rich as Cro - sus; and the women, let them havi their own way, will generally marry agreeably to their wishes. The men will be the most obliging of husbands, when it suits their interest and inch nations; and the women will be the kindest creatures in the world, when it comports with their humor. A number of both male and female will live to a good old age, a large portion of them will die in their beds, and their rest will rarely, if ever, be dis? turbed by tlie wrangliupj of their heirs. OCTOBER. Those who are born in Ootober will be imbued with a great variety of passions, feelings and appetites. Their persons will be various; some will be tall and some short, some thin and some thick, some will be brown and some fair, some will be sweet and some sour, and the rest will be just as it happens. As to their fortunes in life, they will differ no less than their minds and their persons; Some will get exceedingly rich, and some will remain exceed? ingly poor, and none of them will carry a cent out of tho world with them. NOVEMBER. ^Many of thos; who are born in November, if there be any truth in signs, will have occasion to laugh out of the wrong side of their mouths. Their heads will often be where their feet should be and vice versa. Those of them who have the hypo, will be gloomy and desponding, and those who get tired of life -rill hang and drown themselves, if they can muster courage. A great part of those who dislike matrimony will never get married, and several of those who wish to get married will live and die single. DECEMBER. Those come into the world in De? cember, will be born in the tail end of the yeal-. In many of their de? signs and speculations they will ut? terly fail, and in others they will be n day after the fair. Those who build castles in the mrial regions will find them vanish away, and those who contemplate them on the solid earth will seldom have the pleasure of see? ing them arise. Politicians will be selfish, coquettes will be foolish, cross wives will be unhappy, jealous hus? bands will be ridiculous, and noisy hypocrites will miss the way to heaven.
