John, undo his tail. There ladies and gentlemen is the wonderful boy constrnctorso called because he constructs many pleasing images with his ser penie form. The constructor is u long animal as you will perceive, and is very lonp-liyed II. lives hundred years more, if he don | die beforehand He IS oi the worny species and worms hisself long the ground without legs He is capable of climb ing the highest trees, which he is fond of concea ing hisselt m the branches whereof. that he may impose upon the benghted traveler, or other baasi whereby 10 sssa'ise his hanger.

How Cirty Got the Beef.

On a trip up the Tennessee river. Jim and his crew got out of meat. They could not think t far to be without meat in cane country, and where there many fat cattle So, as usual, they selected the best aud fatest beef they could find they obtained one that would weigh about 200 pounds they dressed il neatly and took it on board. About three hours afterwards, fourteen men came down to the boat with rifles, charging Jim with having stolen beef. Jim did not show fight The crew did not pay attention to what was going on some sitting the running boards, with their feet dangiiug in the water-seyera lying upon deck on bIankets--every se-taed dull and stupeiied. Jim seated ou the bow of the boat, his head resting on his hand, when again as- sailed. -
 "l say, your men have been stealing the best beef ia all these parts"
 There must be some mistake" said Jim very quietly.
 You lie, your men were skinningit." "There is strangers about there. may be, said Jim "Yes, yes, we know there Is strangers here on his boat they have the beef on board, aud we will have it."
 The boat is open, go look for you rselyes gentle men; but you II ind mistake certain--but satisfy V you rseives geH,lemrn, that head. "
 That wili and in an instant, or have the beef"
 So ati they went. first having placed three men a guard, to see that the crew did not play some trick The others made d search bv rolling and re-
 
 found. One fellow declared that they had Ieft no place unseaTched where the four quarters of . cat could be hid, let alone big OK. The same gravity was preserved by Jim; he wished the gentemen to be satisfied.
 The fact was, while the crew were skinBing the beef, one ot them discovered man watching them from behind tree. They took no notice of it, but when they came 10 the boat, they told Jim they were caught. He scratched his head awhile, and then prepared for just such a visit ss-he received lie placed the oar quarters Of beef the deck the boat and spread the hide them on this he spread all the blankets, and four men lay down on these blankets Jim, as before stated, the bow of the boat, continually wi"bing " the gentlemen to be satisfied, but they would hBd mistake sartiu ' '" Look about ana be satisfied. gentlemen; look where you please, gentIemen be satisfied but there is one thing must ask of you; not 10 disturb them sick mea-we buried twoIyesterdny with the small. p0X-ana them There four men are very sick-veTy sick indeed, gentlemen, aud must beg of you not to disturb them; it always Is the worst thag you can do, to disturb siek man. especially if he be near his last-il kiod O makes the blsod fy taJ the head, 10 be disturbed" But long before he had closed his speech. he had no listeners 1T ever there were pale faces, fallen Daws, aud ghastiy looks among A set of tnen, II about that tilne and place.

 And stories has it known. Perhaps this is the liquid which the san,

 The iirst-created whale. Perhaps it is this water that did sake

 Which were the first that fell. Or when the wheiming rains had almost ceased
 And sudden shone the sun, Perhaps, in falling drops, this decked the clouds
 With rainbog number one Or this for Rachel did young Jacob draw,
  Or gave the sheep, which he 80 cunningly

 As ancient histories tell; Or this perehance, did fanting Samson drink, From Lehi's wondrous well It may be this from Arron's seathing-pot

 An axe of ancient note ( hat 6orrosced axe) did, a. the prophets sign,

 And nobly would not drink. This may be of the water, whereupon
