Our Ohio folks are, many Of them vastly fond
of the term Buckeye, and seem determined to
apply it to every thing of Indigenous growth.
Thus we have buckeye men and buckeye wo-
men, buckeye ploughboys and buckeye demo-
Gratis. Now we have never been able to see
any thing SO very appropriate in the name of
sBuck-eye7 in its application to any thing of
Ohio growth or manufacture. 1t is true we
have tree bearing that name, and Of indigen-
GUS growth, but has this tree any good qualities
which merit illustration or renewn? 1t has
none. 1t is true, it starts early in the spring,
and gives forth great promise for the future,
but it's aggregate annual growth is very small
indeed. Its leaves look green and bright in
the opening year, but before the end of summer
they are turned to dusky brown that is any
thing but agreeable. 1t blossoms and promises
largely in ITS budding honors, but its fruit is
bitter, poison and useless; good for neither
man nor beast, for not even the omniverous pig
will dirty his nose with the buckeye. In short,
it is the poorest choice that could be made Of
all the trees of the forest, and the meanest name
that could possibly be gotten up. We would
as soon be called "Sucker" or "Puke' as
Buckeye, and would advise our friend Of the
Plough-boy to change its name forthwith, as
an easy way to do something very respectable
for his publication.

THE DISMISSED.

BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.
~ suppose she was right in rejecting my suit.
But why did she kick me down stairs 7"
fHaa - rtai7p14 HallecE's Discarded.
The wing of my spirit is broken, ''''
My day-star Of hope has declined; % F,
For month not word have spoken,
That's either polite or refined, 'li'
My minds like the sky in bad weather, 'a
When mist clouds around us are curled,
And, viewing myself altogether, .,.,...
Pm the veriest wretch in the world.
/ wander about like vagrant,
I spend half Of my time in the street;
My conducts improper and fragrant,
For quarrel with all that l meet,
NV dress too is wholly neglected, -tsrI
My bat pull over my brow,
And look like fellow suspected
OF wishing to kick up row.
At home I'm an object of horror,
To boarder and waiter and maid;
But my landlady views me with sorrow,
When she thinks of the bill that's unpaid.
Abroad my acquantances float me,
The ladies' cry "bless us look therem
And the little boys cluster about me,
And sensible cititlzens stare.
One says " he's victim to Cupid" .-.
Another " his conducts too bad"
A third "he is awfully stupid
Afourth che is perfectly mad;" l
And then am watched like bandit,
NY friends with me all are at strife
BY heaven no longer I'll standit, T
But quick put an end to my life! aa
I've thought of the means-yet shudder
A dagger, or ratsbane, or rope; II,
At drawing with lancet my blood, or
At razor without any soap.
Suppose should fall in duel, ,.,
And thus leave the stage with eclat;
But to die with bullet is cruel,
Besides 'twould be breaking the law.
Yet one way remains--to the river
I'll fly from the goadings of care
But drown?-oh, the thought makes me
shiver-
A terrible death declare.
All no! I'll once more see my Kitty
And parry her cruel disdain, If. Ia
Beseech her to take me in pity, J!
,, And dnever dismiss me again.

an interview with her in Erie, resolved to take
her on board the Madison, and proceed to some
place where we could accomplish our desires.
Upon our arrival at Ashtabula, it was found

Immediately despatched, but unfortunately be-
fore his return, the Jefferson arrived with a
strong force, to take her back. Upon her ar
rival, told Miss Hamot that they had come af-
ter her. She saidit would make no difference
for she would not go back. We were sitting
by window fronting the wharf--she with her
bonnet and cloak on. AS soon as they saw us
they rushed for the room, the door Of which
was without fastening of any kind; and many
of them asked her if she wanted to return
her answer was, Il cannot, nor will not That
appeared to satisfy all except captain in the
er told him to take her back, dead or alive, and
he should do it. Accordingly he put his arm
around her, and called to the others to assist,
which they did,and succeeded in forcing her a.
way, and in SO doing they tore both sleeves out
of her dress. She was then dragged along
the wharf in hurried manner, notwithstand-
ing her request to be allowed to walk more
moderately. After getting her on board the
boat, the gallant Captain, for want of side arms,
took an axe and paraded in front of the gang
way, to prevent others from going on board.
1t is source of high qualification that
have been warmly received by all who knew
me; and that for the last three weeks, have
been publicly where Mr.. Hamots advertise

felt disposed to take any notice of it, although
he represents me as a criminal of the darkest

IMPROVEMENTS OF INDIANA.--The resources,
the prospect, the progress of internal improve
ments, of the western world, furnish useful aud
exhaustless topics for speculation and remark.
Every new project which is started, brings
to light some heretofore obscure point, whose
natural advantages but require development, to
render obvious the importance of Its position.
We frequently take up a western paper, con-
tanning some new scheme for improving exist
ing routes or striking out new ones, and CLAN
cling over the map to trace out their locality,
are absolutely overwhelmed with the vastness of
the magnificent plans of internal improvement,
which are chequering the whole country be-
tween us and the Mississippi.
One of the links in this grand chain is allu-
ded to in an article from the North Bend Press,
Northern Indiana, stating that the Legislature
of that commonwealth has appropriated $780,
900, to be expended on the canal connecting
the river ST. Joseph with the Wabash and Mau.
NEE canal, which, running longitudnally
with the Ohio river, and consequently connects
the southern part of lake Michigan with lake
Erie by the Maumee, aud the Ohio river by the
Wabash. This willafford straight route from
the mouth ofthe Missouri to Cleveland in Ohio.
1t is computed that the route from the ST.. Jo-
seph to lake Michigan, to lake Erie, by Fort
Wayne and the Maumee, cannot exceed 600
miles, while the route between the same points,
by the way of Mackinaw, cannot be less than
800 miles, making a difference Of 600 miles in
favor of the southern route. In addition to this,
it is supposed that the difference on the score
of obstruction from ice, is at least ten weeks in
favor ofthe southern route.-Bgfalo Patriot.

DANGER OF PLANTS In A BED RooM.-Ani-
mails in process of respiration, absorb oxygen
Of the atmospheric air, more especially during
the day time, which they return to the atmos-
phere, combined with the free carbonic acid.
Plants exposed to the rays of the sun absorb OK
ygen and carbonic acid from the atmosphere,
which they decompose, sezing upon the carbon
and exhaling the oxygen which they inhale
combined with carbon. From this arrange
ment ofdlvine providence, we find that plants,
vitiate the atmospheric air, for the use Of ami
mails during the night time, and meliorate the
state of the atmosphere during the day time.
We ought not therefore to sleep in rooms in
which plants are placed.-We give this hint,
as the spring, with all its agremens, is now
at hand,

Chicago, May 8, 1888.

The Vice Chancellor of Trinity College,
Dublin, was remarkably fond of ham. He
frequently asserted, that he thought men ought
to adhere to the principles IN which they were
educated, and ABIDE by the customs which be-
longed to the creed of their fathers. His wor-
ship being once present at table where hot
ham was brought into the rooms the flavor see
med to delight him, but before he could make
an inclslon, one Of the company requested he
would answer the following question: "Ifyou,
sir, had been educated a Jew, how would you
have acted, ifwhen you were very hungry,
such ham as this had been placed before you?'
"Sir," replied he, 81 would have pulled of
my hat, made low bow, aud said with Agrip-
pa, almost thou persuadest me to be christian" "

THE ERIE ABDUCTION.

Mr.. Editor-1t appears that many of the
public prints have copied an article from the
Erie Observer, a paper under the control of
P. 8. V. Hanoi, of that place; also, an adver-
tisement, offering $500 for my apprehension;
that am charged with the forcible abduction
of daughter of his. The delicacy of my
situation, where an amiable young lady is con-
cerned, can be appreciated by an intelligent
community l however, feel it due myself,
that, brief statement of the facts should be
made attending the circumstances alluded to,
that an impartial public may Judge whether
am criminal or not. i1-4 s5n5 r3
/ became acquainted in the family Of Mr..
Hamot about fifteen months since, which led
to an intimacy; and afterwards to contract
of marriage with his daughter, which was to
have takenplace earlylast December. 1t re-
ceived the full sanction of her PARENTS; and it
was arranged that she should spend the winter
on tour east and south with me. According
ly every arrangement that is usual on such oc-
casions was made, even so far as to give invi-
tations to the wedding. Every thing passed in
the most fattering manner until the evening
before the morning we were to have been mar
ried. Mr.. Hanoi then said that he was unwell
and that the travelling was very bad, and he
thoughtw we had better defer it for short time.
My only objections were that it would
make subject of public talk. He replied that
as we were to be married, 1t was no conse-
quence what was said; and that could be at
his house as much as chose, and Mrs. Hanoi
says, " Yes, and we will treat you as a, son."
At the close of the evening, some of the cake
that had been prepared for the occasion was cut,
of which we partook with glass of wine.-
