SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
The way the natives sometimes talk
is amusing. The following dialogue
occurred on the Dividing bridge of the
Devils and Cony Forks. Old Sense
met Dan Looney, and they were stran-
gers to each other. Says Old Sense
"Good morning, sir; are you well?"
If you call man well that has run
twenty miles, [ am that"
/" Did you see any bear"
off you call big black thing about
the size of Peter Whetstone's black
mare or horse, I did,
Had you gum"
Now you hit me !"
Did you draw blood?"
g Do you call double handful Of
brains blood"
"Had you dog?"
!" Is old Bose a dog~
Did you skin him?"
"Well, if you call a man in his shirt
sleeves with knife seventeen inches
in the blade, among the ribs and meat,
.skinning, I was that -
" Was he fat -
'sDoy call cutting eighteen inches
on the ribs fat'''
. "Did you pack him in -
If you call four poney loads pack
ing, why, packed some.3
" Light loads, I reckon?"
C If four hundred pounds to poney
is light load, they were light"
Did you eat any of it -
"Do you call drinking quart Of
besy's oil eating?''
F." You must have meat"'
{" If you call two thousand pounds
Of clear meat, without bone, safe in
side of q snoke-house, meat, we have
got somep0
-"They must be fat at your house?"
"Do you call a candle fat ?"
Here Old Sense brought a perfect
squeal, and.declared he had found the
very man he had been looking for.

with patriotism, pronounce the paper

intelligence; others have taste for
love, murder, prodigies and monstrous
births; others again wish for nothing
but romance and fiction; some com
plain because the articles are too long,

1.-THE world is still; if there is moth
ing happening on which the editor can
sexperiate for calumn or SO, he is pro-
nounced an incident, worthless fellow;
if intelligence is stale, and every ex-
change comes with news thrice pub
lished, in addition to the annoyance Of

copy, the community will brand him as
a man Of no spirit, and cross him from

he is often driven to the necessity Of
fabncating intelligence to satisfy his
greedy patrons.
And generous reader, could it be ex-
pected that a paper can be furnished in
every respect 10 suit the various palates
ofthe reading community ?-and espe-
eially in these piping times of peace,
that the editor can always furnish you
with a well-served dish Of literary Vi

would be more frugal in layishing their

A BALLAD OF BEDLANI

BALLAD OF BEDLAM.
o, Lady, wake-the azure moon
Is ripping in the verdant skies,
The owl is warbling his soft tune,
Awaiting but thy snowy eyes.
The Joys of future years are past,
To-morow's hopes have fled away;
SO let US love, and cen at last,
We shall be happy yesterday.
The early beam of rosy night
Drives off the ebon morn afar,
Whilst thro' the murmur Of the light
The huntsman winds his mad guitar
Then, Lady, wake! my brigantine
Pants, neighs, and Frances to be free:
Till the creation I am thine,
To some rich desert fly with me.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.

The Locos have cndeavored to make capt.
tai out of the passage of a Bankrupt Law, and
charge 1t as grievous sin against the Wings.
They seem to have fotgotten that Mr.. Van
Buren, advocated such law, and, when re-
minded of it, they insist that it was merely such
Bankrupt Law as is in fore e in England, one
designed solely for the benefit of the creditor
They deny that he ever contemplated anything
like voluntary Bankruptcy, which is a feature
of the law passed by the Wing Congress Of
l84I. He certainly was in favor of a bank
rupt law of some kind, but he possesses the
remarkable faculty of expressing himself up
Oh every question. in such a manner that he
can afterwards assume any position he may
prefer in gard to it. But Col. Johnson,wh
is one of the several Democratic candidates Tor
the Presidency before The people, and whom
the Loco Foco party is pledged to support, il
he should receive the nomination Of their ma
tional convention, would find it difficult mat
ter to explain away the following letter and
show that he did not contemplate such law as
was enacted.
