THE ARKANSAS MAN WHO NEVER SAW
PIANo,-One time an Arkansas man, a genuine
character who had been born and bred in the
backwoods, happened to be in a river town on
the banks of the Father Of Waters when
one OF its largest and most magnificent steam
boats was lying at the pier. Oar hero was
magnificently clad in wolf skin cap, and
blue homespun trowsers, thrust into his enor'
nous cow-hide boots. His huge red hands
were adorned with brass rings, and numerous
warts as large as nutmegs, which gave note
of his approach as he walked, like the rattle
Of the reptile Attracted by the sound of mu-
sic, the genius strolled on board the boat and
accosted the captain:
'Mornin' stranger? Pretty peart music
hereabouts. What moughtntit come out OF
"A piano forte, SIR

Certainly, sir, walk down.

formation. He went down stairs into the

swing of his coat flaps, but so intent was he
upon the music and piano at the farther end
of the cabin, that he needed not the ruin he
created. Approaching the instrument he lit
orally devoured it with his eyes. The young
lady who was seated at it continued playing,
and the stranger was wrapt in silent wor-
der. AT length when the sounds ceased. he
raised his cap respectfully, and addressed the
audience:
Ladies, I'm much obliged to you for the
kindness you have done me. never heard
one O. them afore, and never 'spect to agin' >

From the Pennsylvania
BLOWING HOT AND COLD.

Albert Gallatin recently published a pamph-
let on the subject Of the Mexican war in which
he takes ground against his country and in
defence of Mexico. Thereupon, MIR. Clay,
as in duty bound, eulogises Mr. Gallatin and
his production. He says:

without any concert between us, find that he
takes similar positions to those which l had
previously occupied. He fortifes them by

Professional Promptitude.-A celebrated
Dublin surgeon was once known TO give les
son of economy to a wealthy and fashionable
young man, remarkably fond of his handsome
face ard person. He was sent for, and found
the patient sitting by table, resting his cheek
upon his hand, whilst before him was display
ed five pound note After some little hest
tation, he removed his hand, and displayed
small mole on his cheek.

Does il Inconvenience you /"
Not in the least.''
"Then why wish for its extirpation |"
al do not like the look of it,
." Sir" replied the surgeon, 81 am not in
the habit of being disturbed for such trifes
moreover, | think that that little excresence
had better remain untouched, since it gives
YOU no uneasiness; and make it rule only
to take from my patients what is troublesome
to them"
So saying, he took the FIVE potnd note, slip.
ned il into his pocket, and walked out OF the
room, leaving the patient in state of perfect
establishment.
It is related OF physician who received his
daily fee from rich old miser, who had 1t
clenched in his fist when he arrived, and turn.
ed his head away when he opened ms hand
for the doctor to take it, that on oeing INFORM
ed his patient had died in the morning; not IN
the least disconnected, be walked up TO the
dead mans chamber, and found his clenched
fist stretched out as usual: presuming that it
st;II prasped the accustomed remuneration,
with some difficulty he opened the fingers,
took out the guinea, and departed.
