Many of these wounds soon heal and leave nothing hut a scar to remind the" spldier of his deeds of valor. i Others result, in the loss of an arm or a J leg.

Old Abe with furious aspect and hair erect like quills of the fretful por^ cupine, has his last card?'the Black Ace ?rained on high, whilst Jeff., with elbow on the board and the crfner of his card renting on his nose, gives his antagonist a most wicked leer from under the front piece of his cap, appearing to Buy, " Plajr on, old fellow ; the last enrd- can't help you out of the scrape." Another cut represents Old Abe's perplexity with the negro. He is seated in a room of the While House, with his bands resting on b<B knees and a most woe-begone expression on his face, whilst a b?g back negro in his shirt sleeves and barefoot, with aims foldeJ, head thrown back arid one foot on ;he table; in dose proximity to Abraham's nose, interrogates him as follows "Now ien, Mahsu Jonathan, what you jjoin to do *id dia child f Eli!"?rSavannab RepuO^1 !an? , . . \ wealthy owner of real estate was about meeting a splendid house upon a large lot, ind was disclosing the plan to a-neighbor. *1 have employed," eaid be, "a man vhicb hat erected many building*, and my lesign io, fur to have him eruot an edified with a "beautiful Portorico in front on Jib?
