A member oloctof the lower chamber of the Legislature of Arkansas was persuaded by somo wag of his neighborhood that if lie did not reach the State House at ten o'clock on tire day of assembling ho could not be sworn, aud would loso his seat.

Those ho passed, ran upstairs into tho Senate Chamber, set his rifle against the wall, and balled out? "Strangers, whars the man that swars me in ?" at tho same time taking out his credentials. "Walk this way," said the Clerk, who was at tho moment igniting a real principc, and he was sworn witliout inquiry. When tho toller camo to count noses he found that there was one Senator too many present. Tho mistake was soon discovered, and tho huntsman was informed that he did not belong there. "Fool 1 who! with your corn bread !" ho road, "you can't flung this child, no how you can fix it?I'm elected to this hero Legislature, and I'll go again all banks and eternal improvomonts, and if there's any of your oratory gentlemen wants to get skinned, just 8ay the word, and I'll light upon you like a nigger on a woodchuck.? My constituents sent me here, und if you want to floor this two lcggc.\ animal, hop on, just as *0011 as yoa like, for though I'm from the back country, I'm a little smarter than any other quadruped vou can turn out of this drove." After this admirable harangue, ho ! put his bowie-knife between his teeth, and took up his rille with "Come hero, 1 old Sake, stand by me 1" at tho same tiuio pointing it at the chairman, who * 1 -T 1. 1 _ 1 r However, inui seen hucu peupie uuiore.

But if I did't think that lower room was a groggerv, may I be j shot." ; Mork'n YouYr. Kkep.m?Some years ngiyaa old sign-painter, who was very cross, very gruff, and a little deaf, was ' engaged to paint the Ten Command- 1 meats on gome tablets in a church not 1 five miles from Buffalo. IIo worked ' two days at it, and at the close of the ' second day the pastor of the church ' come in to see how the work progross- 1 ed. The old man stood by, smoking a i short pipoj as the reverend gentleman ' ran his eye over the tablets. "Eh P said the pastor, as his familiar eye detected something wrong in the working of the holy precepts 1 "why, yon careless old fellow, you left 1 a part of the commandments entirely out?don't you sec V* "No?no Audi thing," said tiio old man, puling on his spectacles ;"no, nothing left out?whore i" " Why, there." peraistcfftho pastor, "hero, look at them in tho Bible?you have left some of tlio comtnaiulmcnta i out." ' "Well what if J have," said ohl i obstinacy^ as he ran hU 03*0 coinpla- 1 cently over hia work?"what if I i havo ?

Tfie Arons of that city RAys tlioy appeare I vorv happy, a^ho'udi tlfey "never fold fheii 1<?\ a. j j i ii i i?Mwrtai "That Lettkk is fob Mb."?A rath* nr amusing scene was witnessed at the Columbus (O) Post Office, the other meriting, A roug., uncouth-looking animal inquired tor a letter at the gcuofj* delivery. He rocoivod ono, and not being sure that it was for him, ho asked the clerk to read a few lines to him. Tho Postmaster, with his usuiml urbanity and natural desire |to iccommoduto, read as follows :? ' Deer S . This lottor comes a hoD pin.' I take my pen in my Hand to inform yon tliat we are awl well, and hopes you are enjoyin' the same blesjin.' I am sorry to hear you have boon on auother drunken spree " "Stop," shouted tho attentive listener, "atop, I say; that 'oro letter's for me?lioro's your five oonts, and fork ovor that 'ere document I"? And amid a general laugh of the bystanders, ho vanished. Tub Public Lands.?It is stated in the napers that ^reat frauds have recently been practised in Missoari, with tho sanction of President Pierce, in reference to tho public lands known as Swamp Lands. Tho following is the substance of tho story. "Under tho act appropriating swamp lands to tho State in which they lie, tho State of Missouri selected nearly 500*000 acres, about 200,000 of which is known to be good,dry land, not included under tho specifications of tho act. So notorious was this fact that the General Laud Office refused to issue any patents. The matter has stood iu aboyance since tho spring of 1853, until recently Governor Price, of Missouri, went to Washington, ana by a personal arrangement with the President himself, procured patents for tho fraudulently appropriated lands. Rack Across toe Atlantic Ocean.? Tho United States mail steamship Arngo, and tho Yandcr bilt steamer Ariel, it will be remembered, sailod from New York for Havre via Cowes, at 12 o'clock on Wednesday, September 26tli, and it was understood there was to be a trail of tho speed between tlicm. The Ariel was ahead the first day or two, but the Atlantic brings nows of tho Arago's arrival at Cowes on tho 5th of Octber, and there is nothing said of the Ariol, so that she could not have arrived. Tho trip of the Arago was a romarkeplo short one ?only nino day?. For that vessel it is considered extraordinary,' as sho has frenftrn.il v been from eleven to fourteen n- ; w'- wv -w. days in making hoi* voyages. One of Penalties of Politeness.? A genthnan recently handed a lady out of tho railroad cars at Buffalo. lie was a total strangor to her, and simply offered hor his hand as an act of politeness. It turned out that she was running away from her husband at the time, and had a largo quantity of goods and chattels with her. Tho unfortunate stranger, being taken for her friend, was arrested at the cars and sent to jail with her. lie had 5oino difficulties in establishing that his politoness should not bo taxed to a much greater extent. Dakky Resignation.? A nigger in Boston had a sovero attack of rheumatism, which had finally settled in his foot. lie bathed it, and rnbbod it, and swathed it, but all to no purpose.? Finally, tearing away tho bandages, ho stuck it out, and shaking his fist at it, exclaimed, quite wrathy,? "Acho away, den, ole feller?ache away; mo shan't do nuffin more for ycr; dis chile can stan' it as long ns >'ou can?so ache away." An old fellow who l>ecamc weary of liis life, thought he might as well commit suicide, but he didn't wish to go without forgiving all his enemies. So it tho hist moment, he removed the loose from his nock, saying to himself, I nevercan or will forgive old Noah for letting thecoppor headed snakes get into tho ark. inoy killed $2,000 worth of my cattle, and when he and t meet there'll be a general fuss.' Important Movements.?The National intelligencer says: "Our readers have been made acquainted with the late cxcitcing intelligence from Nicaragua in regard to tho imjprisonmont or detention of thcr United States Chargo'd Affaires at Rivis, and of tho outrage committed at Virgin Bay upon some of the California nassencrers on nn American steamer, by which several persons were killed and wounded. The Government, we learn, has received despatches from Mr. Wheeler relative to their unfortunate events, ind it is rumored that they are of such i nature as to require jpromp and scrims attention. It is said, indeed, and to us the rumor has the air of probability, that the Administration has already ordered Commodore Paulding to proceed to Nicaragua in a shipofwar with special introduction to inquired into the circumstances attending these outrages. rrxrn *ny? porn-ty mist b#a woman? it i* *> f>r?r1 of pinching n person.

I Tiie Bfl'.e and the Studnet.?At a certain evening party, a haughty young beauty turned to a student who stood near her, and said? "Cousin John, I understood your eccentric friend L is hero. I have a groat curiosity to see him loung- / ing on tho sofa. "Conic L said lie, "my , beautiful cousin Catharine wishes to be ] introduced to you." * ( "Well, trot her <u% John," drawled i L with an affected yawn. I John returned to Ids cousin and advised her to defer the introduction till a inoro favorable time repeating the answer he had rcceivod. The beauty bit her lips; but the noxt moment she said, "Well, novcr fear. I shall insist on Ibcing introduc ed." After some delay, L was led up and the ceremony of introduction preformed. Agreeably surprised by the beauty and commanding appearance of Catharine, L made a profoundly low bow; but instead of returning it, she raised her 'Eyeglass, surveyed him from head to foot, and then waving tho back of her hand towards him, drawled out, "trot him off, jonn i mat s cnotign i" ( A Pohkr.?A young Jonathan took it into liia bond ono day to get a wife, j Ho accordingly 1? nikod around him, and 1 was not long in atriking a bargain and 1 settling his preliminaries. lie then < applied to a clergyman to perform the ' ceremony. 1 "But an yon prepared for such im- 1 portant change in lito?" aaid the cler- ' gyman. , "I guess I lie," says Jonathan, "for I have got my land just paid for, and own a good yoke of stoors and a cow." "Very well," 8aid the holy man, . with a long breath and sober face, "all these worldly thinga may be very i proper in their place, to be sure?but J have yon ever thought of salvation ?"
