A LAUGRABLE STORY.

The following extract, is from an amusing story,
in the New York Spirit of the Times, called =" The
Big Bear Of Arkansoi." The way in which the
native of " the finishing up country sets forth the
qualities of the MUsquito, and the Bar, and the
fertility of the SIZE, is unique!
"Where did all that happen 2" asked a
cynical looking Hoosler.
Happen! happened in Arkansaw ;
where else could it have happened, but in
the creation State--the finishing up coun-
try; State where the stle runs il the
centre of the 'arth, and government gives

Well, stranger, except them, for It ar
a fact that they are rather enormou' and
do push themselves in somewhat trouble.
some. But, stranger, they never stick
twice in the same place, and give them a
fair chance for few months, and you will
get as much above them as an alligator.
They can't hurt my feelings, for they lay
under the skin, and never knew but one
case of injury resulting from them, and
that was u Yankee; and they take worse
to foreigners anyhow than they do to the
natives. But the way they used that iel-

Though friendiess now, will dream il had friend.
Who with the weight of years would wish 10 bend,
When youth itself survives young love and joyl
Alas! when mingling souls forget 10 blend,
Death hath but little left him to destroy
All! happy years once more who would not be q

Thus bending DER the vessels having side,
To gaze on dams wave reflected sphere;
The soul forgets her schemes Of hope and pride,
And Hies unconscious DER each backward year.
None are so desolaie but something dear,
Desrer than self. possesses or possessed
a thought and claims the homage of a tear;
A flashing pang of which the weary breast
Would STILL albeit in vain. the heavy heart divest.
To sit on rocks, TO muse DER food and fell,
To slowly trace the forests shady scene,
Where things that own not mans dominion dwell,
And mortal foot hath Ter, rarely been;
To climb the trsckless mountain all unseen,
With the wild flock that never leeds fold;
Alone DER sleeps and foaming falls TO lean;
This is not solitude; it's but to hold
with Nalure's charms and view her stores
unroll'd.
But midst the crowd, the hum, the shock Of men,
To hear TO see, TO feel, and To possess,
And roam along, the worlds tired denxen,
With none who bless US, none whom we can bless
Minions OF splendor shrinking from distress
None that, with kindred consciousness en6ued,
If we were not, would seem to smile the less
OF all that natter'd follow'd, sought, and tued;
This is to be alone; this, this ia solitude
