GEORGE PoTTER-It Will be recollected that
this individual forfeited the conditions upon which
he was pardoned by the Governor, by returning to
the State Of New York. He was accordingly
arrested and confined. His counsel took ground
that the Governor had no power to grant pardon
condtonaly; and, therefore, Potters violating the
conditions OF it, did not affect the pardon at ALL

Poured out by hands divine, my friends,

From springs and wells it gushes forth,
Poured out by hands divine.
Cold water, too, (tho' wonderful,

The weakest of all earthly drinks
Doth make the strongest men;
Doth make the strongest men, my friends,
Doth make the strongest men;
Then let us take that weakest drink,
And grow the strongest men.
And as the bells of tulips turn,
To drink the drops that fell
From Summer clouds-then why should not

The two lips of a belle
What sweetcns more than water pure,
The two lips of belle
The sturdy oak full many a cup
Doth hold up TO the sky
To catch the rain, then drinks it up,
And thus the oak gets high,
IT'S thus the oak gets high, my friends,
IT'S thus the oak gets high,
BY having water in its cups;
Then why not you and /?
Then let cold water armies give
Their banners to the air
So shall the boys like oaks be strong,
The girls like tulips fair,

The boys shall grow like sturdy oaks,

MY UNCLE THE PARSON-OR THF
EFFECT OF RED PEPPER


The Knckerbocker contains capital story by
John Waters, of which the following is the con.
clusion:
AT the dinner table our "parson'' takes bottle
of cayenne pepper from his pocket, to season his
meat with.
The two farmers were attentive to all his
movements. The addition of the sauce when
there was such full supply of gravy in the dish,
seemed TO them merely superiority, but the eS-
ploring genius of Ajax Thelamon was irresistibly
excited by the pepper, continent that was al
together new to him, and perceiving that the effect
was grateful and appetizing, &c Pray sir,'' said he,
sc would you have the goodness to let me taste a
little of that red sALr?''
With pleasure replied the Parson, "but |
must apprise you that this is pepper and salt
pepper of the strongest force, thar received from
a friend in the tropics and said he handing it to
him "a few grains will 60 great way
A half dersive glance at the size of my uncle
and then at his own portly figure, seemed to init
mate that he thought the caution very little wor-
thy of notice by man of his cubicular inches
tie raped the bottle on the side as he had seen
the parson loosen the grains of his fiery stimulant
applied it liz the same way but without the same
caution to his gravy, and used it freely with his
meat
The pepper was not long in making his &C
qualntance, but he resisted manfully the first in
ly and repeatedly, as if he were determined to
maintain his ground, his face then became scar
let; an unnatural warmth took possession of his
frame: the tonss of his throat began to swell ;
his eyes glstened, he dashed away a tear from
his obstructed sight, spread abroad his arms like
Samson cropping for the remaining pillars of the
temple of GAIA, and rose in an agony of distress
and pain, unimaginabe to him in his dreams be
fore. His first note was that of great brindle
bull in his own cattle yard at home. The roar
does no justice whatever to the sound.
Fortunately he did not cough My uncle
concerned at the incident, recommended him TO
allay the pungency with glass of water. He
caught at the word. He endeavored to say,
=" Will that put it out? and made for large
jug that had been replenshed, he raised it
boldly to his lips, land took draught, that had
its contents been more gentle might for its
length breadth and depth and height, have
won from Bacchus, the whole conquest of the
Indies.
" Jedediah" said he, as soon as he could artcu-
late. for the lords sake does my mouth blaze ?"
No." said the other, with imperturable cool
ness. " but it smokes consumedly, Hiram, | tell
you"
Another jar of water seemed to reassure him of
his safety against internal combustion and his
powers of speech in some measure returning and
with them his entire self possession he strobe in
front of my uncle, and accOsted him:
