MAEiNG AUGER-HoLEs WITH A GIMLET.
My boy, what are you doing with that
gimlet?'' said to flaxen-haired urchin,
who was laboring with all his might at a
piece Of board before him.
Trying to make an auger-hoIe," was the
reply, without raising his head.
Precisely the business of at least two-thirds
of the world-makIng auger-holes with a
gimlet.
Here is young A, who has lust escaped
from the clerks desk behind the counter
He sports moustache, his imperial, carries
Il rattan, drinks champagne, talks big about
the profits of banking or shaving notes. He
thinks he is really great man but every
body around him sees that he is only "making
auger-holes with gimlet."
Miss C. is a nice pretty girl, and might be
very useful, too, for she has intelligence-but
she must be the ton-goes to plays, lounges
on sofas, keeps her bed till near noon, mag
ines that she is bell, disdains labor, forgets,
or tries to, that her father was a mechanic
and all Tor what2 Why, she is trying to
work herself into the belief that an auger- hole
can be made with gimlet!

A COURT OF ERRoRs.-A certain limb Of

courts, was informed by his honor that the
case had already been decided by the court.
Il know it." responded the attorney, with a
peculiar nasal twang, for which he was then
somewhat remarkable, ''but l am going to
prove to the court that the court is wrong y
And at it he went, right and left, when the
Judge again interrupted him with, Il have

usual accompaniment, responded the attor-

Whig Feeling.

The late Wing demonstrations IN Boston
and Philadelphia IN favor of Gen. Taylor, or
the Administration, were marked by the great
est enthusiasm and good feeling. Such de-
monstrations as these, and they are not IN
common, show the Democrats how idle have
been their abuse and vituperation Of the Pres
ident If in the West there be any feeling Of
doubt, created by the bitter attacks upon the
Administration by the Democratic organs,
such feeling is not shared in the East. The
Wings there regard the Administration with
confidence, and lend it their hearty support
the Democrats view it with fear and trepida-
ton, as an administration opposed to them
and growing rapidly into public favor, and
strengthening the Wing party for another
triumphant victory at the next Presidential
election. If the Administration were really
feeble, and unpopular, and meeting with the
condemnation of public opinion, this venom
Gus enmity we now recognize as marking the
conduct of the opposition, would never be
seen. Nothing but the popularity OF the
Administration could ever bring down upon il
such scandalous attacks as Gen. Taylor and
his Cabinet have met from Democracy the
country over. 1t would be left to work ou
its own ruin, il its acts were such as to make
the Administration unpopular. From the
utter failure of the Democracy thus far to
create prejudice against Gen. Taylor, we
think the Wings should desire nothing better
than the rascally opposition now made, tc
achieve victory next Presidential election as
brilliant as that which placed the peoples
man in power.
