JONATHAN'S ACCOUNT OF THE CAT
TIE SHOW.
Did y ever to the Cattle show go!
What kicking and pushing and goring-
Cattle in pens-the pens in row,
And turnal great hogs, there, snoring.
There's sheep too ewes and wethers & lambs:
Some Bucks; (some aren't in pens fairs know
There's sheep ofthe Dons-some uncle Sans
Some natives-some '.real Merino,"
There's tug too, or trial of strength,
With having and geeing and scoldng,
Just to twich great stone foot's length;
Haw! haw! buck! why don't yee-gee Gold
ing'
Then for ploughing they give reward,
And cute as a squirrel that burrows,
Off start the ploughs, cut through the green
sward,
A turning the slickest of burrows.
And then in a room that they've got,
There's an "ocean Of notions" displayed
There's blankets, & stockings and-what not,
That the folks in their houses have made.
There's bonnets, both of straw and grass,
And cloth too, ofwoollen and linen,
And there's yarn and there's thread smooth
as glass,
That gals for themselves have been spinning.
There's hats, and there's shoes, and there's
leather,
And there's-I can't tell halfnow, fear
Got prize-gee no! altogether!
And I'd go to the show twice ayear.

POETRY z.

STANZAS.
Where's the man who seeks for Fame?
Haste the laurel give him
Unfold the scroll and write his name,
IT'S all the grave will leave him,
Where is he who tolls for God2
Give !--let nought alloy it
When few brief days are told,
No more can he enjoy it.
Where's the bosom swell'd with Pride ?
Spare II would not wound it
For Death shall Irvine at even tide
His mean scant garment round it.
Where's the heart on Pleasure bent
Pour-a double measure
Health and life tomorrow spent,
Gone will be the treasure.
Where's the soul that looks .aboue9
Pleasure, gold, and glory
Such as earthly passions move
Such as live in story
Take each cup of joy away
To others ill'd and given,
Oh, what are all these baubles-say-
To him whose Home is Heaven9

rARRING AND rEArHERlNe.

Although this method Of avenging
real or fancied wrongs, is not actual
ly of American origin, yet by many it
is supposed to have originated in this
country. Holinshed in his chronicles
of England, publishes the following
ordinance Of Richard Occur de Lion,
for furnishing seamen:
"if any man be taken with theft or
pickery, and thereof convicted, he
shall have his head pooled, and hot
pitch poured upon his pate, and upon
that the feathers Of some pillow or
cushion shaken aloft, that he may
thereby be kuown for thief, and at
the next arrival Of the ships to any
land, be put forth Of the company to
seek his adventures, without all hope
of return unto his fellows"

time reported, or at what time, is as uncertain
as the direction she may have taken. 1t is

supposed she has with her, is about six years
old, and looked delicate, owing to late sick
ness-her complexion is lighter than the mo-
