SCENE ON THE OHIO.
BY 0. D. PREBTICE.
It is a glorious eve—the stream
Without a murmur wanders by,
And on its breast with softened beam,
The sleeping stars so sweetly lie,
’T would seem as if the tempest’s plume
Had swept through woods of tropic bloom,
And scattered down wtth blossoms bright
To sleep upon the waves to-night
And see—as hangs the moon aloft.
Her beams came gushing tlirougi? the
air,
So mild—so beautifully soft
That wood and stream seem stirred
with prayer.
And the pure spirit, as it kneels
At Nature’s holy altar, feels
Religion’s self come floating by
In every beam that cleaves the sky.
There’s glory in each cloud and star,
There’s beauty in each wave and tree.
And gentle voices from alar
Are borne like angel-minstrelsy ;
In such a spot, at such an hour,
My spirit feels a spell of power,
And all beneath, around, above,
Seems earthly bliss and heavenly love.
Oh, Mary; idol of my life,
My heart’s young mate, my soul’s sw eet
bride,
Dear soother of my spirit’s strife,
I would that thou wast by my side, i
And I would kneel oti this green sod
In love to thee, and praise to God,
And gazing in thy gentle eyes,
Dream but of thee and Paradise.
I see thy name in yon blue sky,
In every sound thy name 1 hear,
All nature paints it to my eye
And breathes it to my listening ear;
I read it in the moon’s sweet beam;
The starlight prints it on the stream,
And wave, and breeze, and singing bird,
Speak to my soul the blessed word.

There is wTmin my bosom dwelling,
A feeling meet for Him above;
Yet I am not fond of telling
How truly or how well I love.
To thee, dear M*****, such a feeling,
Very long has fettered me;
Neglect, e'ert to my pride appealing,
Could not wean my love from thee.
I have hopes that days are coming.
When I shall call thee, dearest, mine;
Angel messengers are humming,
Happiness shall be thMe.
Then take my heart, its ev*ry feeling
Points to thee, and thee alone;
Before thy image ever kneenag,
I fain would call the dearest one.

“ For slipping away without (laying

NEIIEXI1II FLIFKINSS VISIT TO THE
CITV OF NOTIONS.
BY UNCLE TOBY.
Nehemiah Flufkins was one of those
unfortunate sjiecimens of the genu*
homo, that seem by some accident to
have barely escaped shooting up of the
ground in the form of a cabbage, and
to have l>een horn with all the outward
resemblance of humanity. Spite of
his awful greenness, Flufkins was an
observant chap, anxious to look about
the world, and, to use his own words,
lie “some pumpkins.” He came to
Boston one day- to see theelephent, and
innocently sutfered all mariner of tricks
to he played upon him, such as paying
twenty-five cents to go into the Com
mons, a charge made by a cunning boy,
who discovered that Flufkins had
“just come down.” Another of the
b’hoys, who had received his cue from
the fad who had charged the entrance
fee to the public Common,stopped Nc-
homiah as he came out and passed
down Tremont street, and politely tap
ping him on the arm, said;
“ Fifty cents fine, sir,” at the same
time holding out his hand for the mo
ney.
“ Fifty cents! Creation, what furl”
“ The Mayor’s house, sir.”
“Wot of that?” asked Flufkins,
looking at tire house designated by the
other.
“ You passed it just now without ta-
kmt off your hat
^w7er talk! 8’posin’ f did !”
“ Why that’s fifty cents fine in Bos
on.” s 4-
" Certainly ; and unless you pay it,
1 shall he obliged to take you to the
police office.”
“Whew! Well, here’s a half. Let’s
see which house it is,” said Nehemiah,
taking off his hat
“ That’s it, sir, the next bat one to
where we stand.”
“ Wall, I won’t git caught
howv” said the innocent
lie walked back and forth before the
house of a green grocer, and fixed the
spot in his mind !
Scarcely had Nehemiah Flufkins
turned another comer, before he was
stopped by a third person, who had
got the hint from the other two ope
rators.
“ What’s the matter now 1" asked Ne
hemiah ; I Uavn’t passed another May
ors house, have I!”
“No, but you forgot your landin’
fee.*
“ Unitin’ fee—what’s that?”
“ Whhead money.”
“Head money! Dy yer hive to
nty for keepin’ yer head on 1* asked
Nehemiah, innocently.
“No—you don’t understand, n»y
chuckle.
“Thank ye,” said Fluf kins; only
to think of the |)erlice arter me! Well,
that was an escape, anyhow.”
If there was one thing above an
other for which Nehemiah had a weak
ness, it was smoking. At home his
pipe was in his mouth half the time,
and seeing some cigars in a window,
he felt the desire come “over him, and
so he walked in, purchased a long
nine,” lit it. and walked out into the
street, smoking, as he went along look
ing into the shop windows, in W ash-
ington street. The fact was, Nehe
miah was now breaking a city ordi
nance, and laying himself liable to a
tine. It was not long before a police
man, with his badge of office on his
hat, accosted him.
“Sir, you must put out that cigar
and walk with me,” said the officer,
with an air of decision that staggered
Nehemiah.
“What fur!” stammered Flufkins.
“ Smoking in the street.”
“ Is there a fine for that, tew ?”
“ Yes sir.”
“ How much?”
“ Five dollars.”
“Creation! Five dollars. I havn't
got hut six left.”
“ Can’t help it, you must go with
me.”
“Look aherc—hold on!” said Ne
hemiah ; “ I dont want to go any whar.”
“ But you must,” said the officer, at
the same time looking about them
slyly, and seeing no one very near, he
adifod, “ If you choose to pay me, why
it will save your being locked up.”
“Locked up! Creation! Here,
there’s five dollars,” said Nehemiah,
handing the officer the money, who
pocketed the change and walked away,
leaving Mr. Flufkins standing alone,
and seemingly afraid to move back
wards or forwards, for fear he should
incur another fine.
And this was the case; Flufkins
was afraid to move lest he should break
some other unknown law of the city.
He thought the matter over as well as
he could in his confused state of mind,
and rememliering that he had just one
dollar left, enough to carry him home
on the cars, he looked all about him for
some time, to see that no one was In
to stop him, then “scratched gravel”
like a new one, hack towards the de
pot As he approached the grocer’s
house, that had been pointed out to
him as the Mayor’s, he pulled off his
hat and only ran the faster, until he
was out of sight of it.
At the head of Hanover street, he
was partially stopped by some one who
wished to ask the w-ay to some other
part of the city, being like himself, a
stranger—hut Nehemiah had eyes and
ears (or only one thing, and miuuuder.
standing the question, hallooed out;
“Can’t help it, if 'tisa fine to run ;
I havn’t got no money,” and he dashed
on like a madman towards the railroad
station.

his visit to Boston, but merely said ho
didn’t stay long, it was so pesky ex-
jwnsive.
dy’s expense.
An Irishman is improved here—more
intelligent, thrifty and steady, and in
every respect more of a man, and a
HWter citizen than he is elsewhere
where I have seen him.
The Englishman gets a good proper
ty here. He fares well—drinks his
grog when he likes,—and always,
alone or with hifeountrymen, keeps a
pointer or setter, a double barrel gun,
and enjoys field sport when lie pleases.
A great many are scattered over the
country, hut do not readily assimilate
with the people, and continue to pre
fer brandy to corn whiskey—in which
1 think they show good taste.
The Scotchman is always a
good citizen, and a man of property—
steady, thrifty and law-abiding. The
German and the Jew do the fiddling
and the huckstering, the gardening,
wood-sawing, cooking and a large part
of the thinking. The only men I
have seen drunk here, were Germans,
and yet they are good citizens. The
Swedes and Norwegians are steady,
hard-working fellows, and give nobody
any trouble. The Hoosier is a sort of
cross between the Southerner and the
hear, w ith all his qualities—mental, mo
ral and physical—w ith a touch of the
wandering Arab. He is a wander
ing Arab. He is a wandering an
imal, and his home and house are
wherever his waggon happens to
he—near some timber, or fence, or
firewood—and where there is water
enough for coffee—whiskey he takes
raw- -and washing is to him and his a
work of supererogation.
The young Sucker, the rising gen
eration of all these heterogenous mate
rials is the devil, just as near as any
thing else—unlettered, ignorant, un
civilized, self-dependent, free, lawless,
unpolished, resolute, confident, tobac
co chewing, whiskey drinking, suspi
cious of good clothes or good manners
in others, and finally, to use his own
expression, “ don’t care shucks for law,
gospel or devil.” One general charac
teristic of the animal is that he is al-
w ays anticipating somebody to “ feel
hig,” which he considers his duty to
resent before it happens.
The way the young Sucker volun
teer fought in Mexico, may give you
some idea of his characteristics. He
was there perfectly desperate in the
light. One of the officers related to
me a little scene which occurred at Bu
ena Vista. It was in the very crisis of
the light, when the Indiana troops broke
and retreated, and left the whole brunt

A travelling correspondent writing
to a Canada paper from Illinois, des-
scrihes some of the peculiarities of
Suckerdom, as follows:
This State has a sort of heteroge
nous population—a sort of pepper and
salt mixture of all the different races
of mankind. The smoking, phlegmat
ic German, theSweed, the Norwegian,
the beer-drinking Dutchman, the self-
complacent John Bull, the canie Scot,
the cheating Israelite, the mercurial
Frenchman, the rolicking Irishman, and

together with Buckeyes from Ohio, the
Hoosier from Indiana, and the literate,
drinking, fighting Southerner,—all g
herein about Tqual proportions, ai

character of the State, and supplv

its language. The Hoosier “ allows,’

superiority of numbers, and there were
some signs of wavering, when a young
Sucker drew his rifle deliberately and
dropped a Mexican. “Set up the

ment took up the word, at every fire
would shout like demons, and with as
much drollery as if on a spree. At
another time, when a charge was or

think of the word, and ho shouted,

ihe Mexicans, iaughing and shouting
this new battle cry. Many curious
and laughable scenes are of daily oc
currence in the courts of justice. I
will relate one of which occurred in
Kane county, in the circuit court a few
years ago, when Gov. Ford was the
presiding judge, which will serve as a
specimen.
An old minor and land contractor
of considerable wealth was summoned
as one of the grand jury. He came
to court gloriously drunk and rather
late, in fact not until the court was or
ganized and engaged in trying a case.
He came staggering in, dressed in
Nfckskin, and making his wav to the
bar addressed the court and people
with the “ How are ye all, d—n ye?”
at the top of his voice.
The judge put on a decorous frown,
and said, “ Mr. Ctqrk, enter a fine of
five dollars against Mr. .”
“Wall, judge, i guess you think this
old hoaa hain’t go the money, but you’re
mistaken, old feller.”
Judge.—“ Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of
ten dollars.”
“Well, old feller, I can fork up,”
and ho threw down the gold to pay
fine. « 0^ ]
