Dodging a Militia Flue. UY THE YOUNG VN. In days gone by, when objectionable militia laws were in force in Massachusetts, tlie customary draft was made ill a country town, a few miles from Boston; and a notice to ; "appear, armed and equipped according to la\v," was left at the boarding house of a wag, who posseted very little martial "mu- i sic in his soul. Determined that ho would neither train nor pay a lint?, and entertaining, withal, a very indifferent opinion of tlie utility of tlie system, he took no notice of the summons. Having been duly warned, however, as lie anticipated, at the expiration of a few weeks the sergeant waited upon him with a bill of nine shillings for non-attendance at tlie muster. " You're fined, sir, nine shilling?, for nonappearance." " What is it ?" nskfd the wag, pretending to niisuiulcr.stan<l tne collector "A fine for not training!" bawled tlio other. " Well, I shan't pay it," replied the wag. " It will Ikj three dollars next time I call," said the collector. But the wag could'nt hear a word he said, and in the course of another month, he received a peremptory summons to appear forthwith at a court-martial in the district, instituted for the purpose of trying delinquents, and collecting such fines as could be scared out of the non-performers of duty, llavincr fixed uimn a final tilnn to florhre tlie __ o i i " * 3" issue, at the appointed hour lie waited upon the court, " to show cause, if any lift had, why he shouldn't willingly have toted a musket and knapsack about tlie town for twelve mortal hours, and otherwise puiforni the legal duties of a live patriot." He was ushered into the court-room immediately?which was held in an old country house?where he discovered some three or four persons seated, attired in flashy regimentals, and whose awful " yaller epoletts " alone were sufficient to command the attention and respect of the profoundeat beholder. Though somewhat disconcerted at this rather unexpected sight of spurs and buttons, he put a bold face on the, matter, and responding to the direction of the junior member ot the all crust court, he advanced to th? fcihW and the chief functionary commenced the examination. " Your name,sir?" The offender placed his hand to the side of hia head, without uttering a word 01 moving a muscle in his face. " What is your name i" repeated the questioner, in a loud tone. "A little louder," Baid the wag, without replying. l;Vnme/" shouted the Judge. " Franklin, Bristol county." " What business do you follow V' " Broad street," said the delinquent. "Your business/" yelled the Judge. *' Right-hand side, as you go up." " How long have you been there "About two miles and a half." " How old ?re you ?" continued the Judge becoming quite nervous. " Boss carpenter." " What's tlio matter with }-our ears ?" "t>r. Scarpie's oil sometimes, and some times I )r. Cur'em's ointment." " Why don't you answer J" " Nearly two years." " He's deaf sis an adder," remarked the Judge, turning round to his subordinates earnestly. "Clear the lubber out." " You are not liable to perform military duty," said the secretary, with his mouth tc the wag's ear. " I know that," said the fellow coolly. "His hearing improves," ventured the sergeant. " What do yon suppose \vc sit here for J1 nskcd the Judge, in a lond voice, at last. " A dollar and a half a day," said the prisoner. " He may go, Mr. Sergeant," replied the Judge. " You can go," said the under officer, pointing to the door. But our friend took no notice of the order. "You may go/" yelled the Judge. "Is it possible a man can be as deaf as all that ?" "UanTt say," continued the delinquent, pretending not to understand,14 but I should think?" "Go?go!" screamed the Judge; "you have nothing to pa}'. I pity the General who has a regiment like 3'ou to command ! Show him the door, Major!" and our hero found himself at liberty. He was never again summoned to train, during his residence in that town. jar a certain Divine. his congregation, mentioned that subject from I he pulpit. After service was over, an old negro man, who was one of his admirers, went up to him and desired to know the motives of leaving liis first flock. The parson answered, " I have a call." " Ay, Massa," returned the n gro, " who called you ?" "The Lord," answered the parsou. "Ay Massa, he call you V " Yes, Jack, he called rue." " Massa, what you get here ?w "I get six hundred dollars." "And what you get to'der place I" " I am to get one thousand .uito ? "Ay, Masso, de Lord call you til) lie be blind from one thousand dollars to six hundred?you ifo go!" ttS" "Kiss me, Kate." "No-sir-ee." M Why not, Kate. Do I not" love yon better than anything else f "My goodness/Gracious! I should think so?what a fool you are, John." A Why so, Kate I" " Why, 'No.sir-ee1 means yes."

Some years si?ice, Lorenzo preached at Charleston, i S. C., and in llie course ot' one of liisser I mons, attacked, with some severity, tlic ! character of a citizen who had lately died, j and whose death he alleged was in conscI quince of his vices. For this, he was, at the instance of the relatives of the deceased, ' prosecuted, aud found guilty by a jury. The Court sentenced him to pay a small ! fine, aud endure 11 short imprisonment. The Governor of the State, however, pardoned him, and paid the fine himself. The next Sunday, Lorenzo preached to a crowded audience, commencing as follows : . " There was, we learn from the New Tesi tament, a certain rich man, who lived, 1 think, at Jerusalem, and his name was I)i! ves. He was clad in robes of purple and ' ?j c?i i nuiiu, <iuu lineu Buui]Huousiy every day. That is, lie lived high, or what migbt be called dissipated. Now there was also, I think, in Jerusalem, a certain beggar, named i Lazarus, who asked to bo fed only with ! the crumbs that fell from the rich man s ta; ble. He lay down at the gate of his pal| ace, but the rich man would not hear him, , j and set the dogs on him.?So this poor begi gar died, and then his sorrows ended, for lie i was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom. Yes Lazarus went up aloft, his spirit soared . ! up to heaven, where all good men will go | when they die. But, my brethreu, you will iisk what bccanm nf T)ivp? tl??. !> I man? Why, my friends, after awhile, he > died also, aud I don't know but he died ! drunk. I will not, however, say so positively, for I don't know but he has some relation among those who now hear me, > and I may bo prosecuted for defamation of character. 1 : 13eainrul Thought.?There is but a ( breath of air and a beat of the heart betwixt this world nnd the next. And in tbe brief interval of painful and awful suspenso, 1 while we feel that death is present with us, that we nrc powerless, and he all-power1 fid, and the last faint pulsation here, is but the prelude of endlesa life hereafter; wo > feel, in the midst of the stunning calamity about to befall us, that earth has uo compensating good to mitigate the severity of our loss. But there is no grief without some | beneficent provision to soften its intenseness. When the good and the lovely die, the memory of their good deeds like the moonbeams on the stormy sea, lights up our darkened hearts, and lends to the surrounding gloom a beauty so siid, so sweet, that we would not, if we could, dispel the darkness that environs them. Don't !?Don't fancy, because you have a Btitch in your side, that you are newly "sewed up," nor, because you look a little pale, that you are about to kick the bucket. Don't imagine, either, because you're consumptive at your meals, that j ou've got the consumption^ nor every time that you hnp-1 pen to cough, that you are going tocoughy- | put. jjo not-over exquisite to cast the fashion of uncertain evil,", for despondency in a nice case, is the overweight that may turn the scale, and make you kick the beam and the bucket both at once.

During the last spring I was much inter j ested in examining a new species of clover, which is raised by two gentlemen in the vi- i cinity of Forkland, Ala. This clover, wh"U i growing, before blossoming, resembles the ; , red clover in some respects, but in others it i j m entirely ditlbrent. Tim blossom is yellow ; nnd the seed resembles the bean in shape, i though it is but little larger than tho seed ! of the red clover, and is contained in :i vnrv singular burr, which is about tho size of a large pea. Again, this grass, roots and all, dies annually ; yet the same piece of land need never be sown but once, as tlie seed is j produced in very great abundance, and comes up very freely and surely, every autumn.? Again, it is entirely a fall and winter grass. It commences growing in October, and grows ! on finely through tho 'lule winter, affordI iiiiY lltu r?/-?c4 ... -1 1'- -- * , ui.caa ]m.uui.i| ' I COIllUIUi'S 10 I grow well, if pastured, liltst of May ; | about this time the seed i o ripen, and 1 tlie grass gradually di leaves the : ground illicitly covered w ..ithe dead brandies and seed. When the cool fall rains and dews return, it tben re-appears, and grows n? before stated. ! I have said that it yields an abundant j crop of seed ; indeed, the quantity of seed | is so great, that it is a striking and very im ; portant peculiarity. From my own obser! vations, and from what one of the erontle in?-n above alluded to hits (old me, I nm well j satisfied that it will yield, on good land, at j least 50 bushels, probably 100 bushels of I seed in the burr per acre, and this will be amply sufficient to sow 15 or 20 acres thickly. This will render the clover exceedingly valuable to every Southern planter. From a lot of 5 acres of good clover, he will raise seed enough to 6o\v 100 acres of cotton land, and thus secure a rich reward of grass to co\er the land during the winter, and protect it from washing rains, and nft'ord him the best pasture in the world. This is not mere fancy, for its growth on fair land is as luxuriant as I ever saw of the red clover, on the finest lands in Virginia or Kentucky. I carefully examined a lot of this clover, winch was closely grazed to the lirst of March last, and about the first of May a great many of its branches were four feet long. I have often admired the luxuriant pastures and meadows on the rich valley of the Ohio, but I think I never saw a better crop of grass in all my life than that was. Any person who may be desiroua of getting further information about this gras*, can obtain it by writing to Dr. H. L. Kennori, or Mr. C. Snedecor, Forkland, Ala.? The letters should be post paid, as this is without their knowledge. My apology for troubling you with ihis communication, (if one is needed,) is this: I I was brought up in agricultural pursuits, in i <1.? ?.\,i :f..i ....II - .1 , ...v. ..v.. o.i.i uriiuiiiui tiuiry o> uie vjino, i where I he fertility of their lauds is easily in| creased an hundred fold, by a judicious sysj tem of grassing; and ever since I became | a citizen of the South, I have regretted to 6ee her richest land rapidly wasting away i without hone of future improvements; and ! I desire, as a sincere lover of my adopted ! home, to call the attention of planter* to the j abuvo named grass, because I firmly believe j it can be made incalculably valuable to the ; planting interests of the South. N. Forkland, Ala. Curiosities of Legislation.?"We un derstand there has been :i good deal of amusement and speculation at Frankfort, Ky., for a week or two past, on account of the provisions of tho salary bill, enacted by the late Legislature. It is said that the law actually provides that the Governor shall have a yearly compensation of $10,000, eaeh of the judges of the court of appeals ts6,000, each of the circuit judges $5,600, the register of the land office $6,000, the Secretary of State $3,000, and other officers in about the same proportion. The bill originated in the House, being reported by a select committee, the members of which prided themselves particularly on being in favor of low salaries. We have not ?u.. i t~~e? - ? * kuc ji?w nt-ioio us, out lis puraseology runs substantially thus: The Governor shall have a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars, the judges of the court of appeals fifteen hundred, register of the land office twelve hundred and fifty, ?fcc., which sums shall be paid quarterly. It is not provided that the officers in question shall have salaries of the said amounts per annum; the provision is expressly that they eliall receive the specified salaries, which sums shall be paid quarterly. The language is specific, and the best iMwjei ni t ranutort says, as the best lawyers everywhere must say, that the law em|>owers each of the officers named to draw the whole sum specified every three months.? And we understand that the able second auditor says, that if they think proper to diaw thus, he shall feel constrained by the plain letter of the law to pay them the money. Of course this is a very laughable, and at the same time a very serious blunder, and the first thought of some may be that the next Legislnture can at once correct it. This however is impossible The new constitution provides that no ?#l?rp ?Kotl reduced during the period for which he is elected to office. So the Governor's legal (Hilary must remain $10,000 a year during his entire term, the salary of each Judge of the court of appeals must remain f0,OOO a year for eight years, the salary of each circuit judge must remain 15,600 a year for six years, <fec., <fcc. We confidently expect, that when these facts become generally known, multitudes of hew-'candidates for all the offices to which the Legislature has attached such munifioent salaries, will spring up all over the State. _ ] A Great Po?#e^?^-^*HurralTfor the Col- ! lirv* Line!" bunt spontaneously from a tbousaud voice* tins morning, when it was f known that the "Pacific," in nine ilftya and t twenty hours, had crossed the Atlantic.
