Death Of " Satan"

The following capital impromptu on the death
Of DR., James w. Smiths dog, well known about
town and which bore the cognomen of" Satan,
we need hardly say is from the pen Of that hui
norous genius and clever dramatist, DR.. North
all;
Could not thy potent namc oh sotan hold thy BREATH
Secure against the fatal tyranny Of death
Must thou, too yield to his determined call
As Adam did when Adam had fan
Do Man and Dog one common law obey?
Ave 10th composed OF congenAI clay
Ifso what difference is there tween man and dog
For a dog may be man, man dog " in cog"
But man, by death, to future life is led,
Whilst dogs, by Death, are made forever dead,
Oh for some Dogberry's hook to write thy tate in,
Poor used up, dead, annhiIaed " Satan T"
dog must have his day and thine is past;
For DoG-DAys, Satan, are too hot to last,
Thy BARK upon Lies stream was sorcly tossed
But now, alas thy little BARK islost
And Dr.. Smith alone remains to vail
The sad relation of thy little TAIL.
Thou couldst not rake a Till or spread PLASTER
To aid the business of thy worthy master;
But all his " WHINE AND BARK" he had from you,
And that was doing all a dog could do.
Reques.cAr I'd say since death has broke the lease,
Eut where there WAS a cat you'd have no peace.
! cannot Of your WIT, poor Satan, bmg,
Although your TAIL, 'tis true, was quite WAC.

To Daniel Webster.

vou,re not the GodIe Daniel now, what mighty fall
n strivinu TO be President you lost your human ALL
ANGELS who kept their estate were doomed the chains
TO wear,
And vou sir now must follow suitwith fallen angels fare
The Bav State used to sing yourpose New England join
ed the theme,-
They loved YOU for your labor in Emancpatons scheme
Ru sir YOU have at last betrayed the State that gave you
births
Your rmer Views YOU now declare be of little worth
In eighteen hry.seven you spoke in Nblos garden welt
In Congress too you boosted you would for Freedom tell
You told the TRUTH defending us,and every heart was
glad,
But since you have betrayed all, we re getting almost
mad
The Bill that's called the TugNe-by what means was
it passed?
And how do you think that that same law VIII laSE
What is the money that you received Seceiays bait
Compared with warm hears and respect obtained in every
State?
Do you suppose that you take our citizens as soNe
By band of Southern hunters, clique OF legal khVe
If we've not hats that equal theirs, we've hearts az large
and true
We've for every hat and hands enough for
you.
Come on then, sir, with all your troops you've assum
ed the rod
Before you gun at us secure your peace with God
You must have lost the Of wneor history, 10 think
That you sell Vomonter as the Sheriff sold your drink
But sir YOU are Fugitive, and death is your track
Will the Frepmen Of the Northern States presume to send
you back?
No before Jury you must stand, whose verdict sure
will be
Deuded Statesman boughtand soldto Southern policy"

CUrran's Ingenuity.

n farmer attending fair with hundred
pounds in his pocket, took the precautlon
of depositIng it in the hands of the land
lord OF tile public house at which he stop
ped. Having occasion for it shortly after
wards he resorted to mine host for the bail
ment, but the landlord, too deep for the
cnnntrymar. ,"o"do.e4 What hundred he
meant, and was quite sure no such sum had
ever been lodge in his hands by the aston
ished rustic. After Intellectual appeals to
the recollection, aud finally to the honor of
Bardolph, the farmer applied to Curran for
advice. Have patience, my friend" said
the counsel: "speak to the landlord civilly
and tell him you are convinced you must
have left your money with some other per-
sou. Take friend with you, and lodge
with him another hundred in the presence
cf your friend, aud then come to me- We
must imagine and not commit to paper, the
vociferatons Of the honest dupe, at such
advice; however, moved by the rhetoric
or authority of the worthy counsel, he fol-
lowed it, aud returned to his legal friend
"And now, sir, | don't see as Pm to be bet
Ter off for this, if | get my second hundred
again but how is that to be done 2" Go
and ask him for it when he is alone" said
the counsel, Gay, sir, but asking won't
do, lie afraid, without my witness at any
rate" "Neyer mind, take my advice,
said the counsel, edo as bid you, and re-
turn to me" The iarme. returned with
his hundred; glad at any rate to find that
safe again in his possession "Now, sir, |
suppose | must be content, but don't see
as Pun much better off," "Weu, then"
said the counsel, "now take your friend
with you, and ask the landlord for the
numbered pounds your friend saw you leave
with him" We need not add, that the
willy landlord found that he had been taken
off his guard, while our honest friend
(whom one would almost wish to have tried
two the second time) returned to thank his
counsel exuItngly with both hundreds in
his pocket.

Power of Intellect.

An octogenarian policeman, having invt-
ed Lord Shaftesbury and another friend to
dine with him, took occasion, Immediately
on the removal of the cloth, to say that his
object in asking them to dine, was that he
might obtain their opinion as to the pro-
prlety of his marrying his housekeeper.
ooh my lord" said Shaitesbury, "you
may as well not keep us in suspense we
see you are married, and pray present US to
her ladyship."
"WelI," replied the noble host, II am
indeed married, but | wished, before in
forming you of it, to hear your opinion"
On retiring, Lord Shahesbury was asked
by his companion, how he could have
OWNED as he did that their entertainer was
married
" Because" was the sagacious reply,
ono man who had not already committed
such folly, would have asked advice con-
