has been SAID and so little done. This is in

a lew years ago, there lived near Brawton'.
a man named John Simpson, a second. cousin
To the Hon. Joel Simpson, who, for many
years represented the district i'm Congress-.
'oIn was a worker in gim-cracks; always
seeking 10 invent something, though never
succeeding. His affairs had consequently gone
10 decay, and he was very poor.
John was very fond of the old Colonel who
Issued to humor his fancies a good deal. anil
was particular patient in listening to his LONG
stories OF things that might be invented-ifo one
knew how. The old Colonel Issued to saw. 10
others, that he tolerated Johns twattle. be-.

efforts were on the eve Of being crowned with
complete success. As soon as one mr. tyvo

THE ADMINIsTRATIoN-Tbe admin.

THE ADMlNISTRATlON.-The admins
tration OF President Polk goes smoothly on.
We hear OF appointments in the East, West,
North and South, and the people are satisfied;
If not, they submit, believing it is all done for
the best, and that the administration, to be
useful, must be sustained. This shows a spirit
OF patriotism and philanthropy, worthy the
party, who elevated the chief magistrate to his
high position. May it continue to be so, dur
ing his career as Presidedt Of the United States.
Argus.
Genuine Loco-focoism, by these hits! If
''the people are satisied"-well. IL not, they
must submit" 1t is truly "worthy of the
party" Right or wrong, the administration
must be sustained" Patriotism and philan-
thapy!-what droll nonsense our neighbor
writes.

ANECDOTE.-We heard a story some time
since, OF Joe -, which will bear repeat
ing:
Joe was one evening seated i'm the bar-room
OF a country tavern in Canada where assem-
bled several old countrymen discussing vari-
Gus matters connected with the "pomp and
circumstance of war" In the course of some
remarks, one of them stated that the English
Government possessed the largest cannon i'm
the world and gave the dimensions of one
winch he had seen. Joe's yankee pride would
not allow him to let such an assertion pass
without contradiction.
"Poh gentlemen said he 81 won't deny
but that is a fair sized cannon but YOU are
a leetle mistaken in supposing it to be the lar
gestin the world. Its not to be named i'm the
same minute with one of our Yankee guns,
which saw in Charlestown last year. Jupi-
ter! that was a cannon. Why, sirs. it is SO
internally large, that the soldiers were Obliged
to employ yoke of oxen to draw in the baii!'
"The devil they were" exclaimed one of his
hearers, with a smile of triumph; pray can YOU
tell me how they got the oxen out AGAIN."
"Why, you fool" returned Joe, "they I'M
yoked 'em and drove 'em through the VENT"

And swore twas Hell in harness" there

And seeing a locomotive come
So far from Bumbletown-its home
Der hills and hollows safely brought
Not riding rails, as such things ought,
They thought railroads unnecessary

For if the Cannaw folk can send
a locomotive To attend
Our Council, and to urge their PRAYER,
Without u rail from here to there,
Why surely they could send him DER
With all their trade To Elsinorc."
So then our hero told too well
The tale that he was sent To tell,
For seeing his people did not need
Railroads to give their trade new speed
The House resolved this road should 90

BE silent, Muse, nor sing the ire
Which set our hero's breast on fire!
To quench the flame of burning wrong,
With locomotive speed along
His homeward track he straightway flew,
Nor halted until he came TO
Blueville, where he took to water.
Whigtown to shun (for he had fought her)
He went about as long a road

He'll stay at home now-and he ought.
