As lie wended along in his own quiet way, You'd have thought he would not have reached home the wimo dnv; For when ever lie plied his old horse with his ' slick, ' . Tom minded it not?he was used to the trick; And now ho had reached a part of the road, j 1 Which led him direct to his humble nhodc, j I Hot, Ilnrk! n strange bound now falls on his car, : ] A sound, which to him, seemed exceedingly queer, | < And what to make of it he did not know, For many a day, naught had puuilcd him so, j < So the l'urson cried "wo, \v<\ you, I say, . . I must see who is breaking the Sabath day : Siim," said ho, addressing his hoy, " ; '.'Con you tell me what means this loud hurrah, : ' Aud what you see"?his sight was not good? j ' "PrftWling about in'the pinoy wood t" "Yes, massn," said Sam," "ono hoy I see, lljri dar behind dot old pine tree; Ami sees one.hog dor on dc ground, Making do dert fly all around." "Ay, ay," said the Parson, "'tis plain to be seen, " What all this noise, that 1 hear, must mean: , Some rogues have taken this holy dnv, To at col some honest man's hog away Ho then he got down, thnt he might know, Jf what he had said, eoui?l really bo so.

"Why, ninssa," said one, "we no tief do hog, Hut do fault he entirely du fault of dia dog; Fur when hrudder and 1 bin walk in do tic], ]?is same hog dot yon see here, din same hog bin aqueel, And when wo hah run to call off dedog, We find he already hub bit up do hog." "Yes, yes," said the Parson, "that is all very well, j You are a first rate follow, a story to toll, But you see such a talc, will not do forme; For although I am old I have got eves to see, And this rusty axe, and this bloody knife. These, not the dog, took this hog's life." Then tli?

' A gentleman of this State, who rcfides in the town of Elhnorc, Mcquanjjo county, is as lie describes himself, very unsartain in politics and . besides that, is the most unsartain practical joker wo have ever heard ot, of late.? 1 Here is one of his jokeS, highly-nmus- < ing, though but for his fearlessness of 1 iho church, etc., it might have proved serious and unprofitable to the joker. The gentleman was in his store on Sunday morning, preparing for the duties of tho day, when the Deacon entered. Ail unlortnnato pack of cards wero lying on tho counter, and the Deacon, as in duty hound, remonstrated with our joker on this villainous practice. Tho latter admitted that it was at least an idle waste of time, and taking the cards in his hand moralized in the subject just as well and warmly is the Deacon. At the same time he : Allowed a few cards to fall here and ( there on the counter, they laying very 1 much in the shape of tricks, ana looking as if tl?e two had really been "ta- J king a hand." At this juncture, another member of he church came in, (the post ofiieo was :' in tho store,) and all at onco tho joker . placed his finger on a couple of cards i1 in the counter and exclaimed: "Now,'> Deacon, I tell you this won't do. The!' Ijiicen always takes the Jack, and the!1 ten takes the nine, and 80 on down, and j 'I* Vr?ll /lllll'l Mil.owl tVlll x?-111 iini-ni- I learn the game. Thot Jack is a good sard, but my Queen takes it, counts ( i?? one besides one on count for game, j1 "Why, neighbor," exclaimed the hor- 1 rifled Deacon, "what do vou mean by that I" "Exactly what I say," was the reply; "the Queen takes the Jack, and its mine; you might have trUmpod it, and saved it long ago. Now this Jack, with low game, puts mc out." At this moment, the gentleman from | Meouango county turned round, pro-1 tended lor the first time to notice the brother Deacon who bad entered, look- j ed confused, dropped the cards and ( vanished. Of course, the Deacon was caught.? J The horrible talc was told of his having been caught playing cards on Sunday. lie was cited to appear before the church for his backsliding ; and as the evidence was complete, would have been convicted and severely punished, in spite of all bis protestations of innocence, bad not our acquaintance of the town of Ell more made his appearance in the nick of time, as a witness in favor of the Deacon, told a "round, unvarnished tale," and procured fori1 him an acquittal. It is said, to this day, the Deacon has an increasing horror of cards, though he feels a conviction that the 1 "Queen will take the Jack," and that i the Jack can take the Deacon, yet he has an utter aversion to give his "high, low Jack.'"?Rhine Advertiser. "When Mr Adam's dog Carlo wasI poisoned, Ike attempted an elegy up-! onhim, and began it lima: ' Poor Carlo, lie is dead mul gone, Ami lie won't come back any more; [ I wish the feller that pUcned him, Couhl bo served tlicbiune sauce." The divine ''ilatness" here gave out,! hut as lie read the lines to Mrs. Par- j tington, her face lighted uj> with pride, like the bright bottom of her tin pail in the ruddy rays of the coal tire.? ' There," said she, as she felt in her pocket for a cent, "that's what I call j genius, and seems to warrant the predicament that you will someday he a, learned man if you only know enough, and write minus poems "as all the great writers do. I would be more proud to . have it so, than to have you the do]-! phin of France, or the prince of whales." She chased the cent into j a corner, and Ike held out his hand to j' receive a largo horn button that shci had mistaken for the coin. Four mar- j hies and any ouantity of 8ubso<piciit: winnings faded from that young gentleman's mind as the valueless horn touched Ins waiting pnlin.?lUMon ; Poet. A Doctor as is a Doctor.

Somebody is reporting for the Boston Journal certain spcoclies of "Father Lflnglv, who is a very sensible old cove. l1io following is his opinion of the present generation : "Failed has ho? I wonder they don't all fail ? For, what with the extravagance and good-for-nothing of men and women now-n-days, where is it to end ? Call themselves "Sons of the I'ilgrims !" do they ?

Plioy arc brought up for nothing under the pun, but to put in a buffet. When [ was a boy, it wasn't so?tho spining wheel stood in tho corner. They were 3et to work as soon^as they could walk ?they had no nursery maids to run after them?then mothers weren't adiamcd to tend to tlieir own laibies. I'licy could sew on a patch and rock! the cradle beside. Tho gals were good tor something in those times: they could spin and weavo wool and linens, linsey wolsoy, red and blue, and wear it too after it was done. They could cat bean porridge with a pewter spoon, and they were enough sight happier mid better suited than the gals are now with their silk gowns, their French messes, and silver forks: yawning and inoning about; silly, j>ale face things; with nothing to do. t>et tlicni to work. Put them at it early. Idleness is the devil's foreman ; ami no chain is so strong as the iron of liabit. Watts was nobody's fool, I can tell yon. lie knew what was what. Folk's don't stand still in this world ; they are always going one way or t'other, It; they ain't drawing the sled up hill,! they'll bo sliding down. Adam was a ) farmer, and Kvo hadn't no "Irish gal" I nor "nigger wench" to wait upon her.; What do these popinjays say to that Ashamed of the old folks, I'll warrant. I Adam wasn't nobody?they know it1 all. But they can't work, they're so deli- j cate, so weakly. \Y hat has made tliem ; weakly?

Good gracious, ifsomo of i these fellows had lived forty years ago, j they'd have clapped them i n prison and shaved their heads. Treatment of Poultry. The following rules ore authoritatively laid down for lbo treatment of Poulty?We ' hope they may prove of value to our readers. 1. All young chickens, ducks and turkeys should he kept undercover out of the weather during the rainy seasons. 2. Two or three limes a week, pepper, shallots, shires or garlic should be mixed up with their food. . A small lump of asafetida should be placed in the pan iu which water is given ilicin to drink. 4. Whenever they manifest disease, by dropping of the wing, or any outward eigns of ill health, a 1'ttlo asufoctida, broken into email lumps, siiouid be mixed with their 1 food. - j . Chickens which arc kept from the i dung lull while young, seldom have the ! [pipes ; therefore, it should Ik- the object of j those who have the cliArgo of the.in, so to pre- ! elude (ltcir young from the range of bam or ?tnl>lo yards. 0. Should any of tho chickens linvo tho [japes, mix up small portions of nsuftBlida, rhubarb and pepper, in fresh butter, and givo ! sach chicken iu much of tho mixture as will lie upon half the bowl of a Mnall teaspoon. . 7. For the pip tho following treatment is J uditious; take oil'tho indurated covering I on tho point of tho tongue, and give twico ' v day n piece of garlic the sizo of a pea. If; garlic cannot bo obtained, onion, shallot or | ihives will and if neither of them bo coiivc- ' no at, two grains of black pepper, given in fresh butter will answer. 8. For tho snuffles, tho same remedy as the gn|?o? will bo found highly curative, but in addition to these, It wi|| be necessary to melt a littlo asfthetida in froh Imttor, and rub tho chicken about tho ooatrils, taking ?aro to clean thctn out. ft. Oiown up ducks are sometimes taken jfT rapidly by convulsions. In such cases four grains of Cayenne pepper mixed in fresh butfer should be administered. . 3&S EK*SM3iaaii Book and Job Printing ^ESTABLISHMENT,^ IJ AVISO' A FINE SELECTION OF ' wb aue prepared to do v/ork NX 6 CIRCULARS, CATALOGUES, HAND-BILLS, WAYDll I O B*ll TinurTn nn??n.iinrn ?? diilo, unit, nuivcio, rnuunnwiYicdj ?u. j PRINTED WITH DESPATCH.
