LIFE IN MISSOURI
CLASSIC NANEs.


In one of those long journeys to1a frontier
post that we were once accustomed to make,
which always recalled to memory pilgrimages
TO the holy shrine, 1--WE traversed oone day a
twenty mileprarie. Itwas in the midst ofthe
eeasoi called fly -time;s the days were lrlopg,
and the weather unmercitully hot.ap Several
gentlemen of,the army and some citizens were
of the number Of ofsufferers ont the occasion:aud
all lookedto usas an old traveller on the route,
and placed entire reliance onus for the choice
Of stopping places, roads, distances, &c. The

A VAGRANT WAG.-As we were emerging
from the prison, representative from those
conclaves of miscreancy in which crime is con-
cocted, accumuations of humanity which fer
ment and reek like compost, in all large cities,
was pointed out, leisurely engaged in carrying
out the plan of Mr.. Madam, with a long
handled hammer. He was bit of wag, we
are informed whose wit had often stood him in
good stead.--He had been repeatedly before
the city authorities for divers misdemeanors,
and each time promised well for the future;' but
although he always kept his countenance, he
never kept his word. On one occasion, he was
just about to be sentenced with other sanscu-
lottists, as common vagrant, when, with the
most imperturbe sang .froid, having suddenly
harpooned a good idea, he pulled from capa--
cIous pocket of his tattered coat loaf of bread,
and half of dried Goldfish, and holding them
up, with triumphant look and gesture, to the
magistrate, exclaimed; 'You don't ketch hna
that way! Pm no wagrant. Ant them wish
BILE means o support, | should like to knowg

NOVEL SIGur.-Yesterday the elephant at
tached to the menagerie of Mr.. Hobby, which
has been exhibited here for several days past,
not feeling disposed to trust his person on board
the ferry boat plying between Norfolk and
Portsmouth, resolutely refused to bulge from
the wharf, and babe defiance to the threats, and
repelled the coaxings Of his master. Itwes at
last determined to conduct him to the waters
edge near Town Point, and let him work his
own passage IN the water, which he did ina
very handsome and business-like style. A
boat accompanied him, not to pick him up, as
was the design of the one that attended Byron
in his swim from Sestos to Abydos, or the late
aquatics at Brooklyn, but merely to guide his
motions in the water. 1t was well for hiss
"eburnean majesty" that the explorers have
dropped down, or else they might have taken
him up for strange craft. While swimming,
hslong snout protruding ou: Of the water, his
motions resembled those of porpoise. Re-
freshed by his bath, and in good spirits, lie
landed safely on the Portsmouth side.
