MY UNCLE THE PARsoN.
BY JOHN WATERS.

BY JOHN WA1ENSs
It's the title of capital thing in the
January number of the Knickerbock-
er. We copy the concluding por-
ton:
At the dinner table our 'parson'
takes bottle of cayenne pepper
from his pocket, to season his meal
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
exploring genius of Ajax lebanon was
iresistibly excited by the pepper, a
condiment that was altogether new to
him; and perceiving that the effect
was grateful and appetizing, 'Pray,
sir, said he, would you have the good
ness to let me taste little of that red
sALr?'
with pleasure replied the parson,
sbut l must apprize you that it is pep
per and not salt; pepper of the strong
est force. that l received fiom friend
in the tropics, and, said he, handing it
to him, "a few grains will go great
way
A half derlsive glance at the size
of my uncle and then at his own portly
figure seemed to intimate that he
thought the caution very little worthy
of notice by man Of his cubicular in
ches. He raped the bottle on the side
as he had seen the parson loosen the
grains of his fiery stimulent, APP
piled it in the same way, but with
out the same caution, to his gra-
Wy, and then used it freely with his
meat.
The pepper was not long in making
his acquaintance, but he resisted man.
fully the first limitations of this inter-
nal assailant; hemed stoutly and re-
peatedly, as if he was determined to
maintain his ground, his face then be-
came scarlet; an unnatural warmth
took possession of his frame; the tom
sils of his throat began to swell; his
eyes glistened, he dashed away tear
from his obstructed sight, spread a
broad his arms like Sampson grouping
for the reminding pillars Of the. tenn
pie of GAIA, and rose in an agony Of
distress and pain, unimaginabte.to him
in his dreams before. His first note
was that Of great brindled buIl in his
own cattle yard al home. The word
roar does no justice whatever to the
sound.
Fortunately he did not cough! My
uncle, much concerned at the incident,
recommended him TO allay the pun
gency with glass Of water. He
caught at the word He endeavored
to say, will that PIT it out?' and made
for large jug that had been replen
ished, he raised it boldly to his lips,
and took draught, that had its con,
tents been more gentle, might for its
length, breadth and depth and height

APPLE BUTTER.
A1R-"Roy's wife,

AIR--ssRoy's wife,"
'Twas spring and near the last Of lent,
When days were bright, and long and sunny,
When heat began as if it meant
To ruin apple sauce and honey;
A certain little thrifty dame,
Whose name it suits me not to utter.
Though, by re- stewng. TO reclaim
The flavor Of her Apple Butter,
She told her husband he must buy ~
A crock, or jar for the occas ion;
Which he forgot-The reason why,
Was owing to his meditation.
The little dame began to scolc
That is to say-io make sputter,
And to her husband plainly told.
She meant to save her Apple Butter.
Then to neighbours house she ran,
Though in pet, quite free from sorrow,
She there developed all her plan,
And mentioned what. she wish'd to borrow;
Then home she bore massive jar,
Which in perspration put her;
Resolved was she that nanght should mar
Her plan to save her Apple Butter.
The stove was heated nearly red,
w men sue hdu Ill TIC udPPiHss icoux,
She call'd her mar, whose name was Ned,
(Or more Familiarity call'd Neddy.)
Within the stove he put the jar,
An oath till then he meier did utter.
He burn'd his hands-which made him swear
And almest curse the Apple Butter.
The jar was in-and there it staid,
For out it never could be taken;
Ned did his best, but was afraid,
Within the stove to risk his bacon.
The little Dame was in the dumps.
And did most lamentingly mutter
Her sad complaints-and stirred her stunps,
In hopes to save her Apple Butter.
The lower border of the frock
The Dame picked up, to mend the blunder,.
And pull'd -and pull'd-at length the crock
Was absolutely pull'd assunder!
And she was scalded on the shins!
Said Ned by gol that ends this sputter,
And now guess as how your sins,
Are sorter washed in Apple Butter

LATER FROM MEXICO.

The New Orleans Picayune has received pa
pers from Mexico TO I7th ult. two weeks later than
previous adyices.
The papers contain the correspondence between
Gen. TAYLOR and Santa Anna relative to the ter.
mination Of the armslice
Public attention is very much engrossed with
the preparation for the meeting of Congress. The
official paper says that the Executive is anxious for
the assembling of that body, even before the time
fixed by law, in consequence ofthe urgent nature
of the subjects which 10 be brought up for con.
sideration.
The first in importance are stated to be the events
of the with the U. S. the necessity of great re-
sourses to sustain it, and some other point relative
10 this important business
The papers are filled with official communications
from the different states, assuring the government
ofpublic tranquility.
There is no indication Of Almonte leaving the
war department, and great variety Of orders are
published emanating from him.
In an urgent appeal made to the new congress
from San Luis Poosi, they are entreaed 10 enlrust
Santa Anna with dictaorial power for the prosccu-
ton OF the war.
There is nothing definite from the army at San
Luis and no mention is made of the dissensions
which were said to exist in Santa Annals ranks
lie had directed that the capitol should be fortified
with energy, and considerable number of troops
were armlng for the defence of the city.
Senior VIlamil had been appointed Minister 10
France and took the oath Of office on the 18th ut
The tone Of the Mexican papers is less arrogant
towards the United States.
In the correspondence between Gen. Taylor and
Santa Anna, terminating the armstice, the latter
complains ofbad faith bu; says he is ready TO meet
him on the field of battle.
Gen. Taylor asks the release of the American
prisoners sent into the interior on the ground that
all the Mexican prisoners have been set at liberty
Santa Anna says in his reply that the generosity of
Gen. Taylor had been responded to in the same
spirit. All the prisoners at that post, San Luis, z

seventy dollars TO procure sustenance upon the
road.

The Prospect Of Peaee.-The official journal at
Washington, fearing that some hopes Of speedy peace
with Mexico might be raised from the tone ofthe Pres
dents Message, puts forth the following disclaimer
against any such notion being enterained;-
We would most respectfully suggest TO some Of the
politicians IN w ashinglon, not to misunderstood, not
TO ritter away the Presidents Message by interpret
ing il altogether into a message of peace He Offered
the olive branch 10 Mexico in the spirit Of peace; but
the executive of Mexico did not meet the proposition
in prompt and corresponding spirit The President
knows well the extraordinary character Of the Mex
lean people to rely upon his own wishes, even their
professions He goes for vigorous roseculion Of the
war, until treaty Of peace has been made and ratified.
One Of the most courteous correspondents of the New
York press from Washington, writes: THE President
evidently expects peace. He has doubtless good rea'
sons Tor entertaining this expectation. The Message,
IN fine, gives US the cheering prospect oil speedy
peace There ought 10 be mistake upon this ques-
lion. An error at this point may extend its mischev-
Gus influence to Mexico. However much we may de-
sire peace, there is no certainty oft. We risk little 10
saying that the President has positive private good
reasons for expecting peace, however much he may
prefer IT, His own message shows that he is in favor
of the vigorous prosecution OF the war; and no
considerate man can expect peace, II we relax our
exertions in the slightest degree.
