A Rich Practical Joke.

A friend told us joke few evenings ago,
and though it was told US in confidence we can
not resist the temptation Of laying it befJre our
readers, let the consequence be what it may
In the western part of this city live and flour
ish two 5ofiy young fellows who follow sign
painting for livelihood, and whoare some.
times in the habit Of cutting up what are term
ed high Shines 1t so occurred few days a.
90 that cne of the partners had some out door
business to attend to, and left the shop m'charge
of his partner and little boy who was employ
cd to grind paints.-Durng his absence, the
partner remaining went to work and painted
the boys neck so as to represent large cash,
and cut over theeye. lie then took red paint
bespattered it over the floor and clotted the boys
hair and made him lay down in a ecruer.--He
then painted great cash on his own cheek
barred his bosom, disordered his dress, dipped a
long bladed knife in 4 red pot, and patiently
waited the coming of his partner, Directly he
tseard hInl az the door, the performance COM
meuced. Tire partner stuck his head into tire
room door; one glance was sufficient-the boy
was prosrrate on the foor, with his throat cut,
groaning and crying rurder-chars, tables,
benches, Jugs and paint pots, were strewed a
round the room in dire confusion, while the mur-
derous looking partner, with the bloody looking
knife in his upiited hand, was running through
| the room uttcring wild and incoherent expires
sions. 1t was evident to the partner at the
door that his partner had killed the boy. The
thuoght was horrid.-Swift as lightning he
! flew to his father and informed him of the cir
cumstances. number of friends were mus
tered who repaired forthwith to the scene o
actlon.-The crowd augmented as it neorct
the shop-and in walked the whole posse-bu
what was their astonshment to find the boy
without mark of any kind, the room in periec
order, no marks OF blood perceptible, and tn,
partner engaged in lettering 4 sign and ut
ter ignorance of any transaction of any kind a
vowed by both him and the boy, to the othe
partners great mortification-more especially
ms the persons he brought there hinted to on
another that during his absence he might hay
indutgcd too freely in sire water?"

A I.M-s Fate.


An old Pole, bctweeen 20 and 50 years of
age, was sent up TO BIackwell's Island, some
time since, as a Vagrant lie could scarcely
speak a word of English, and though he posses
sed most soldierly and commanding appear
ance, ms poverty, as matter ofcourse, preven-
ted him from attracting any attention. This
mans histery teens with events of the utmost
lnterest-he has acted prominent part in the
most even,tu period of the worlds history On
the breaking OH, Of the French revolution, he
travelled on foot from Poland to France-joined
the Republican army, fought through every
campaign, was with Napoleon in all his grea.
battles, and received thirteen woandsat Water
loo. After Napoeon's exile he returned to his
native Poland, where he labored hard for Ii.
wing until the breaking out of the last insurrec-
ton in that country, which he Immediately
joined, and through the whole of which he
fought with a valor and desperation bordering
on frenzy, until he fell at the storming of War
saw, desperately wounded. Every male rela-
tive he had sE earth was killed in that glorious
but unsuccessful struggle, and he, in Common
with several others o. his unfortunate country
men, was sent an exile to our shores. The old
veteran, finding it impossible to submit by any
other means, enlisted in the Florida army,
and served his time out in that ingorious war
After his discharge he returned to this city,
where he got robbed OF the few dollars he pos.
sessed, when feeling very unwell he made ap-
plication at the lower police Office, for a permit
to the hospital for few days, when commit
ment was instantly made out, and he was in
stantly sent up here for six months as vagrant
Vixen the old hero arrived and fully realized
the degradation TO which whole life Of palri-
otism had brought him-the heart which leap.
ed with joy while death was dsaciag and whis-

within him, and he wept profusedly as he view,
ed the many scars he had received in Free
dom's service, at the heartless ingrotitude oI
her intended wershippers. His name is Be.
nowousky, and his time having expired some
weeks since, he is now at liberty; but the hero o
many wars the soldier Of many battles, and the
survivor of many fields of blood and carnage

DINING WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Colonel Crockett gives the following account
of his dining with the President -
"Well, walked all round the long table,
looking Tor something that liked. At last L
took my seat jst beside ia, geese, and help
ed myself to as much of it as wanted But
had mt took three bites when looked away, up
the table, at a man they called I'osh (attache.)
He was talking French to a woman on tUther
side ofthe table. He lodged his head, aud she
lodged hers, and tlren they got drinking wine
across the table. But when | looked back Il.
gain, my plate was gone, goose and all Sol
jist cast my eyes down te tc,hee end Of the Ia.
Bile, and sure enough seed white mau walk
ing of with my plate, says, Halo, Mister,
bring back my plate He fetched it back ia
hurry as you may think; and when he SAT it
down before me, how do you think it was
Licked as clean as my hand. If it wasn't,
wish may be shot. Says ne, What will You
have, sirN And says |, You may well say
that, after stealing my goose And he began
to laugh. Then saysI I, Mister, laugh if you
| please; but don't half like such tricks upon
travellers then filed my plate with bacon
and greens; and whenever looked up or down
the table, held on to my plate with my left
hand. Wren we were all done eating, they
cleared every thing off the table, and took a.
way the table cloth. And what do you think
There was another cloth under it. II there
wasn't, wish may be shot: Then | saw
man coming along, carrying a great glass
thing, with glass handel below, something
like a candleslick. 1t was stuck full os little
glass cups, with something in them that looked
good to eat Says |, Mister, bring that thing
heren Thinks I, let's taste them first. They
