Of Jobs running horse-done to fret him. II
was by no means a correct one. Lazy Sam
was well made pony ofthe Printer stock,
but was oie mile, sleepy, sluggish disposition,
uatil his metal was reused, He generally
went@with his eye hall shut, and his head
dropping ahaa angle Of forty degrees. When
the General viewed him he was ia this Cundi-
ton.
The horses were in the Generals stable and
the check for twenty-five hundred dollars was
in the hands Of gentleman present. The
General had no doubt OF keeping all Jobs fine
horses and sending him home on his ten toes
Lazy Sam was led along by Jobs boy, ms
sleepy rs usual. The prelminaries were ud-
justed, and riders mounted. As Job threw
Jim on Lazy Sam,-he sprung all four off the
ground, and his dali, sleepy look was changed
into wild, almost devilish expression.
He looked as Job did when he 'caUorted."
The General lost his mahogony color, and
looked pale: but said nothing.
Lazy Sam won the race by thirty feet.
Job was suddenly cool as cucumber. And
as he put the twenty-five hundred dollar check
in his very greasy pocket~book, which he dG
very deliberately, he looked round cunnngly

He turned round suddenly to his rider-"Jim,'

he'd been squeezed through the little eend o
nothing, or less.

PPoF. WEBsTER's DEATH WARRANT SIeNED.
Professor Webster is said to have been fully pre-.
pared for the decision Of the Executive council
at least, when he learned it from the evening
papers, he did not appear To- be disappointed.
His wife and daughters; slso MI, sOheir, one
Of his counsel had an interview with him in
Jail on Friday.
It is understood that professor Webster had
expressed wish that il he were TO be execu-
ted, .an-early day might be fixed; and that bic
family might be kept in ignorance of the time,
For long time the family have abstained
from reading any newspaper whatever.
The prisoner was visited this morning BY
the High Sheriff Eleventh, who found him
calm and apparently resigned. Prof. Webster
had probably long before abandoned ell hope
of the favorable action oi the Governor and
council. His ExcellenOy, the Governor, has
affixed his signature 10 the Death warrant,
which has been duly transmitted 10 the High
sherf.'-BOsEOn Transcript

TO HENRY CLAY,
BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON

BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.
God speed thee, noble champion of the right.
10 do the glorious work that Heaven as
signed
The world will bless thee for the radiant light
That emanates from thy transcendant mind.
lhou art the tue benefactor of mankind,
Far greater in the evening of thy DAYS
Than when thy treasured name was first en-,
shrined.
Upon the altar where our country pays
To tried, true, sterling worth, the need ofloye
and praise.
Not with the banner and the flashing steel;
Not with the battle clarion's thrilling tone 1
Not with fanaticism's purbIind zeal,
is thy devotion to thy country shown,
But with the eloquence of truth alone
Thou hast essayed to stay the restless band,
Whose naughty bearinr and mperious tone
Have added fuel reCklessy, and famed
The fires that madmen first enkindled DER the
land.
Speak, forthy words of wisdom, true and warm
May check lanaticsm's wild career
May stay the tightening Of the gathering
Storm
That threatens all that liberty holds dear.
In thy true heart there is no craven fear;
And thou canst make the path oil duty plain
Speak, for thy listening country waits to
hear
The thunders of thy mighty voice again
Thine eloquence, thank heaven, is never heard
in vain.
SpaIe not the traitor, whose envenomed heart
Would sell the glorious birthright God has
given:
Would rend our bond of brotherhood apart,
A nd vaunt his 'basenessi in the face Of heaven
The man who Stays his fellow man is driven
From mans companionship; and future time
Will award the wretch, whose soul hath
striven
To crush our youngrepublic in its prime,
The iguominious shame Of darker, deeper
crime.
Stand by the Union firm; it is the star
That God appointed to transmit the light
Of freedom and equality, as far
AS tyranny enshrouds the earth in night,
And it will still shine on, undimmed and
bright,
When we have mingled with our kindred clay
When thrones are crushed that bOased iron
might;
When sceptres, crowns, and empires pass a.
way,
Before the blessed light of full milIenial day,
Indianapolis, July 80, 1850.

HOW LAZY SAM WON THE RACE.
A Kentuchian horse drover being in South
Carolina with a drove, happened to take it to
the neIghborhOod of General Il, whose
character for jockeyiug and maneuvering in
trade is much more celebrated than his feats
in arms. The Kentuckian having perfect oc-
quaintahce with his character, went to see him
to sell him horses-or to swap-or 10 run a
race, as the destinies might order and decree.
He was one of you. careless, unconcerned.

lows; who would assume just as much simplc-
ity of counen and address as circums tam
ces might require. He had the appearance Of
about twenty-five or twenty-three years of
age, and as usual, was dressed in the blue
mixed jeans to hide dirt, and wore a drab col.
ored hat for the same reason.
'Gineral,' said he, | am just from old
Kaintuck with some powerful nice horses, and
may be you want some. Daddy told me If

power OF money, and understood tradin to a
scribe. Here's letter from him. handing

While he was thus Introducing himself nd
telling his business, the General opened the
letter as follOws;-
Dear General--I take this opportunity, to
wright to you by my Job, who is taken the
first drove he ever driv, and want you to roll
logs leetle for him, if so he suits you. Job:

PETER ToMPKINs.
The hero Of horse races, cotton bags, ant
sugar hogsheads, thought he perceived nea
speculation and acted accordingly. Mr.. JoI
TompknS was received with much courtesy
