DODGE'S ELOPEMENT.
BY FALcONBRIDGE.

The hero Of the following narrative is
Ossian E. Dodge, the celebrated Boston
Vocalis, who paid s625, for the frs, ticket
to Jenny Linds' first concert in Boston.
Dodge, the eccentric and unequalled
de!ineator or, as the ladies' call him, the
" incomparabIy ugly man," appeared "on
change" again last week AID the next eve.
ming after his appearance, Mllliken's fash
ouable saloon Dodge's head quarters,
was at an early hour densely crowded with
the " members Of the order," TO listen to
the rib tickling account Of the many Incl
dents ever 10 be me, with in The lie Of
Concert Singer.
Many time. and off, have we shaken
our sides with uncomfortable laughter. as
the ,ormen,ing sentences Of dry and spon-
taneous wit, fell from the lips Of the joker.
as unconcerned and as careless rs drops Of
spray from the overhanSing cliffs at Nj.
agara.
But few. however, Of the many rich
things related by him in our presence have
left the Laughter IL, US, like the following !;
but in order to be fully appreciated, the
readers should see Dodge tell the story.
Dodge. some years ago about the time
he quit teaching the art Of wax-fruil and
flower.making. and. fortunately, took up
that of concerning, at which profession he
has, accordin. TO repu,e, amassed an inde
pendent for,une-maje break across the
mountains, and one fine morning found
himself 10 the city Of Cincinnati.
Here he took passage in the afierward
unlucky steamer the B. S-,bourd
down to Memphis. vicksburg. Natchez and
New Orleans.
The boat was densely crowded, being
slowed full on deck with agricultural i'm.
plemenis, horses, cord wood, Dutch em.
grants, and other hardware while the
cabin overhead was filled up with trunks,
band boxes, carpet.bags, umbrellas, gals
and boys. men and women, and such like
plunder.
The boat showed out. fired her swivel,
and away she headed down srern. while
her old pipes brea,hed forth cook. cook,

hills 10 echo again.
After supper. Dodge having. by letter o

Satanic Literature.

A publishing house in New York, which
lately issued an immoral novel, has been
compiled, by the censures Of the press, to
send out a card apologizins for their con.
duct. assigning as their excuse ,ha, they
printed the work wi,hou, reading il, The
,epulalion Of the author being so high that
'ney did not imagine Re would write any.
thing impure. This compelled rciracIion
nay be regarded as signal triumph Of the
moral press over The Satanic literature.
We learn, in connection with this fact,
,ha! what are called the " fash" new.pa-
Pers are falling off largely in circulation.
l. has been matter Of as.onishment 10 US,
indeed, that So much patronage was aflor-
dsd 10 these corrup, and scandaIous jour
nails, novels, and oher improper works ti
The day. We arc glad. therefore, to no
lice this reaction against them. Perhaps
there is no position so responsible as that
OF the editor Of widely -eircull ted news
paper; for there is none in which he can
d. so much either TO improve or injure the
morals Of The community. Scarcely the
pulpit itself exercises so great an influence.
The publishers Of immoral books, and the
editors Of scandalous journals are worse,
~ some respects, than the felons who are
weekly sent from the criminals dock TO
the Penienliary-for they do indefinitely
more harm TO the Stale. We hail, there
