Maine law, was told by Mr.. Lee, that
greatly amused the audience on re-
cent occasion in Syracuse /" / was
passing" said he, "along one Of the
streets Of New York, and saw some
firemen amusing themselves by throw
ing water from large hose that was
attached to the street hydrant. At
one time they threw it highin the air |;
then they sprinkled the streets for
great distance around anon they put
It directly along the street pavement
in straight line. Just as / passed
them, said the speaker "a large dog
was seen approaching the stream.
The fremen tested his spunk by play
ing in his face. With the energy Of
one determined to resist foe at all
hazards, the brave fellow sprang upon
the stream, barked, knashed with his
teeth, bit it, but all in vain. After a
desperate struggle, long continued, the
poor fellow gave up, and, amid the
jeers aud laughter ofthe crowd, skunk
away, with ears and tail dropped,
looking very much chagrined and dis
com6ted II was a clear defeat. He

Marriage Licenses.

A fellow went intoa Squire's office up
IN Norwalk not long since, and said,
Squire | swear l want an order for
woman" He was of course served with
marriage license.
Speking Of licenses, remindes us of
another incident which occurred not a
great way from the same place. A long
and lean Iankee came into the office one
day and asked for marriage license. 1t
was accordingly drawn up. Zeb, $50 we
call the Yankee,) gave in his name, but
on being asked for the name of the lady
replied: ....
"There, meow, Squire l guess you've
kinder got me-"
"How so, sirl"
"Why, dye see, up to where lived l
have been courting two gals; one ,em is
poor and the other rich. Meow Squire
darned If l like tn tell about it, but /
wills by golly. You see like both
gals all-fired well, but somehow 'nuther |
like the poor one best. My folks think
tother way. darn'em. So l calkelate Pm
in quand'ry, amt I, Squirrel"
Rather, sir. What do you propose to
do2"
"Golly. Squire, I've got it. You jes,
leave that ar place for the gals name,
blank. I'll 60 to hum, put on NY Sunday
go to meetn' clothes, 60 and call on both
of them critters, and which ever one ]
like best then-why, darn ye, Squire, be
he! don't We see!-I'll just put her name
in the blank, the darlin' gall"
No, no, sir! That is not allowed by
the law"
Meow du, Squire du. III act honest,
swear"
But our legal friend was inexorabe.-
He explained to Zeb that no such ar
rangement could be made without break
ing the laws. The Yankee coaxed, beg
ged, prayed, entreated, but all in vain.-
At last he gave over, and seating himself
was absorbed in silent meditation. In
ten or twelve minutes he got up.
Squire" he said, my minds made up
If can't have that ere place left blank, |
'spose choosing one or tother's the game
JENNY, but it's hard to give up that poor
gal, but our folks don't like her, so lest
put the rich gals name down therc--golly
I'm a married man."
This was accordingly done and Zeb
walked away slow Y and half sadly to
wards his home. This is all true reader.

H The Richmond Ennu;,

~ The Richmond Enquirer has a
letter from General Felix Huston to DR..
Samuel Cartwright, of New-O Orleans, on
the subject Of the comparative health Of
black and white laborers in the South,
and an extract from recent publication
by DR. Cartwright on the same subiec..
These papers show that while the white
laborsrs in the South have been swept to
the grave by the Southern epidemics like
chaff before the wind, the black slave has
been unhsrmed, thus showing that white
men are not fitted by nature for drugery
in the Southern climate. A correspondent
OF the Enquirer remarks that every mile
OF Southern rail road has cost hoosbead
OF white mems blood. The Enquirer
accompanies these papers with its COM
mendasions, and says that they undermine
the very foundations on which sbolitiouism
stinds. 5s

MISCHIEF MAKER

On could there in the world he found,
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasure might 60 round,
Without the village tattling
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery,
Of Gossip's endless prattling.
If such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim it rs her own,
And in it she might fix her throne,
Forever and forever:
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
The mischief-makers that remove,
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love,
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure.
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares unkindly then
They soon retail them out again,
Mixed with their poisonous measur re.
And then they've such cunning way,
OF telling their ili-meant tales they say -
"Don't mention what-I said pray,
would not tell another"
Straight to your neighbor's house they 90
Narrat'ng everything they know,
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh! that tho misunderstanding crew,
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would our villagers forget
To rage and quarrel fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things so much below them.
For It's sad degrading part,
To make another bosom smart.
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish
Then let us evermore be found,
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, joy and peace abound,
And angry feelings perish !
