THE STUMP TAILED COW.
A JERSEY ANEcDoTE

A good many years ago, man stole cow from
Morristown, N. ]. and drove her to Philadelphia
for sale. She was common COW enough, except
that she had lost her tail but about six inches.
The thief, fearing that by the shortness of her
tail he might be traced, had procured in some
way, probably from slaughter house, another
cows tail, which he fastened SO ingeniously to
the short tail, that it was not to be known that it
had not regularly grown there.
AS soon as the Jerseyman missed his COW, he
set off for Philadelphia, thinking she would pro-
baby be carried there for sale; and it happened
that when he came to the ferry, he got into the
same boat that was carrying over his cow and
the fellow who stole her. AS it was natural that
he should have his thoughts very much upon
cows, he soon began to look at this one with
great attention. She was, indeed, pery mach
like his COW, he thought. Her marks agreed
wonderfully, and she had exactly the same ex-
preston Of face, but then the expression of her
tail was so different. It must be supposed that
the new owner Of the COW felt rather uncomforta-
bic during this examination, for he soon saw that
this was the person whose property he had stolen,
and he was very uneasy lest he should take hold
of the tail, which he looked at so continually.
Upon the whole, he thought it best to divert his
attention, in some way, if possible, and therefore
steps up to him, and says, .neighbor, that is fine
COW of mine, wont you buy her! You seem to
know what a good COW is.'' sOh, dear me-
says the other I've just had COW stolen from
me- 'Well,' says the thief I'm sorry to hear
they've gotto stealing catte but I'll sell off, and
you cannot better replace your loss than by buy
ing this COW; Ill warrant she's as good as yours
Why says the Jerseyman, she was exactly like
this one; only that she had no tail to speak of,
and if this one had not such long tail, I'd swear
it was my cow Every now began to look
at the cows TAIL but the thief stood nearer to it
than any body, and taking hold Of it so as just to
cover the splicing with his left hand and with
jack knife in his right pointing to the tail, he said,
so, if this cows tail were only this long, you'd
swear she was your's---sThat would says the
other, who began to be very much confused at the
perfect resemblance to his cow, except in thus one
particular, when the thief, with a sudden cut of
his knife, took off the tail, just about one inch
above the splicing, and throwing it overheard,
bloody as it was, turned to the other and said,
now swear it's your cow? The bewilderment
of the poor man was now complete; but as he
had seen the tail cut off, and saw the blood trick
ling from it, he could, of course lay no claim to
the animal from the shortness of her tail; indeed
here was proof positive that this was not his
COW, SO the thief, going over with him, sold the
COW, without any further fear Of detection.--

DISINTERESTEDNESS

tE
A man with large property died-as was sup
posed; but had only fallen into a trance.
Adjoining the room in which he was laid out in
his grave clothes, were his heirs rejoicing over
his will, and expressing their satisfaction at the
decease Of the old gentleman twas at this time
that he recovered and rose up. He stepped softly
TO the door and listened to their conversation.
Having heard enough to satisfy him, he softly put
on his clothes, went to the bank and drew OUT att
his money, purchased travelling carriage and
horse, and left the country. 1t was not until Sc
veral hours after his departure, that the heirs be-
came aware of the detection of the corpse, but
still greater was their CONSERVATION when they
learned that he had carried off all his wealth with
him. His wife was the most inconsolable Of all,
for as soon as dccency permitted she was to have
welded a fine gentleman, who overlooked her
age and ugliness, in consideration Of her thirds.
When he became settled in foreign country,
the dead man wrote his heirs that he could not
damp their Joy at his departure, by second ap-
pearance among them. Their gratitude was no
doubt, unbounded.

The Rose and the Lily.--Malvini stood with
her father before lily which bloomed under
rose bush, of delicate texture like a beam of
light, the beautiful flower displayed its fragrant
chalice, above hung lovely full blown rose,
which threw its rejecting glance upon the silvery
leaves of.the lily, and thus mutual fragrance was
impaired. "Oh! what an interesting alliance"
exclaimed Malvini, and smiling, she bent towards
the flower. ssIt is the emblem of innocence and
love-" answered the father; and they remained i'll
silence. In the mean time approached Oscar, the
Hover Of Malyini. A blush mantled the cheeks of
the fair one. even as the lustre of the rose was
imparted to the lily. Then her father looked
mon her and said, "Is il not true, Mavini, flowers
have countenance and language?'' s'For inno-
cence and love-" added Oscar.

Punishment for Sacearing. A schoolmaster,
as a punishment to one of his pupils for using
profane language, ordered him to take pair Of
tongs and watch at hole in the hearth till he had
caught mouse. Obedient to the command, the
boy took the tongs and demurely waited for the
expected visiter. Directly after, he saw mouse
peeping out of hole to observe if danger was
near Cautiously placing leg of the tongs on
either side of the hole, he grasped the mouse,
and triumphantly swinging it alolt, exclaimed,
"PUe got him."

Egypt, and derived its name from Alexander
The present extent of its ruins is over Is miles
in length--about twice the extent of the city Of
London. The habitable part of the present city
Of Alexandria is only about four or five miles, and
the aspect is miserable in the extreme. In ap-
preaching it, the buildings present very mono
tonous appearance, and the present time is but
mere shadow of its former splendor. The popu
lation amounts to about 10000 people, com.
posed Of all varieties of the human race-Greeks,
Turks, Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese,
&c. &C., and the combined appearance Of this
place is that of world in miniature. The sole
occupation of the people is commerce; and it has
extended itself to England to America, and even
around the Cape of Good Hope. The population
appears to be about equally divided between Eu-
ropeans and Asiatics, and the singular amalgama-
ton of costume is worthy Of remark. Here may
be seen man arrayed in the flowing garments Of
the Turk, with the great square-toed shoes of the
Spaniard adorned with monstrous silver buckles,
while he would surmount this oriental garb with
the chapeau of the Frenchman, and the gold
headed cane Of the English physician; thus min

Mr.. Editor:

ton to the annexation of Texas has Just
terminated as the Abolitiouists desired
The vote upon that subject shows that it
is the settled policy Of the present Ad-
ministration to keep that fourishing Re
public separate and detached from ours
forever THE means, however, by which
the shameful. object has been effected, are
not less odious than the intentions of the
wire. workers of the scheme are base and
unprincipled. Mr.. Van Buren, knew We
ry well that the The ancient home of Re
Publicanism,-=the Southern and Western
States were rapidly uniting in opposit ion
to his administration, and unless he could
distract and divide their counsels, that the
principles Of Federalism by which he was
elevated 10, and retained in Office, would
be overthrow, and the pure doctrines
Of jefferson prevail in their place. To
accomplish these views, he recommended

gans, that if the State Rights party would
come to his rescue on that question and
forget their past political differences, that a

dy would eventually be the candidate Of

thereby seeking to ALLEVIATE them from the
