supercilious nabob of the East,

A Governor or General at least
have forgotten which
Had in his family humble youth,
Who went to England in his patrons suit
An unassuming body, and in truth.
A lad of decent parts, and good repute
The youth had sense and spirit:
But with all his sense,
Excessive difidence,
Obscured his merit
One day at table, flushed with pride and wine
His honor proudly free, severely merry,
Conceiv'di it would be vastly fine
To crack q joke upon his secretary.
Dung man. said he "by what art, craft,
or trade,
Did your good father gain livelihood ~
He was u sadd!er, sir, Modestus said,
And in his line was reckoned eood.''
a saddler, eh and taught you Greek,
va 'SoSii'hS you W sew
And why did not your father make
A Saddler, pray of you ?''
Each parasite then in duty bound,
The joke applauded, and the laugh went
round.
At length Modcstus bowling low,
Said, (craving pardon if too free he made)
:" Sir, by your leave, fain would know
IouT fathers trade ?''
" My fathers trade you rascal, that's too
My fathers trade.--why blockhead thou
art mad!
My father, sir, did never stoop so low
lie was gentleman I'd have you know ~
&C Excuse the liberty take"
Modestus said with archness on his brow,
6 Pray why did not your father make
A gentleman of you ?"

Messrs. BENSON & GREEN:-At the re.
quest Of the agent for the mail contractor, on the
route from Glasgow via Fayette to ST. Louis
l will inform you that the mail of the 9th No.
vembsr, enqured for by you, came to hand on
the 2lst November, twelve days arter it was dis.
patched, before it arrived at this office. ad.
dressed the Postmaster at St. Louis, enquiring
if mail had been put up for this office on the
9th November he informed me that one had,
and that through some mistake at St. Charles,
it was brought back TO St. Louis. Where that
mail was until the 2lst, is more than can
say certain it is, that it arrived here on the 21st
at the same time that the mail despatched on the
18th did. A similar irregularty in the mail has
recently happened at Mr.. Sections, where the
line Of stages meet; and whether these mistakes
ere occasioned by the NEGLIGENCE of the Posi-
Masters at those places, or the mail carriers
| cannot determine, but much inconvenience Ger
tainly results from it.

mother gave her, as an emetic, some salt and

AT the request of the President, noue
prose9ui has been returned to the indict-

Washington against several persons, for
riot at the Presidents residence on the
night after the first veto. The following
is the Presidents letter.
"WAsHrNcToN, Nov. 81, 1S4l.
"SIR: Having understood that prosecu-
ton was pending in the Criminal Court
of the District of Columbia against GER
tain persons charged with having been en-
gagged in riot in August last, to the dis
turbance of my family, l beg leave to sub
init to you the propriety of entering, with
the consent of the Court nolie prosequi
in the cases. 1t was one of those out
breaks Of popular feeling incident, in some
degree, to our form of Government, and
entirely evanescent and harmless in its
character. My confidence in the good
sense and becoming feeling of the people
of the District leads me to believe that
there will be no danger of similar occur
renee in future and that therefore those
who have been betrayed into thoughtless
proceeding will not be likely to repeat it.
