"Got tired OF New York, althouA ii It IsaY
town OF considerable consequence. Wanted TO
see the world; started Tor the scyen-by-nlne
State OF Rhode Island, where they single the
houses all over outside and in, ard put the
windows in the roof; where they make their:
rail fences out ofcobblc-stones; where the ducks
roost on fences and hatch their young ones in
the tops OF cherry trees, and where the men
look SO much alike, their wives often kiss the
wrong individual, (my friend says it is way
the women have the world over.) Went 10 the
city Of Providence, where ali the meh make
JcWelry, and all the women believe IN spirit
rappngs, where they've got a bridge " der
than it Is long and NlacadamIzed on OH both
sides; where all the plaster busts of great men
have gray wings on; where they light the gas
in the middle OF The afternoon; where they drive
five horses tandcm here the apples grow as big
as washtubs, and the oysters obtain to the enor-
nous size ofthree-cent pieces. Went into the
woods after chestnuts; couldn't find any, but dis
covered magnificent tree in the distance-re-
joced exceedingly thcreat-sarted for it
| tnree-quarters OF mlle away; went ahead
over stones, bitches, fences snakes briars and
stone walls, until at last reached 1t, and found
1t was an elm, no chestnuts on it-got very
mad; walked around the State a couple of times
and took the first train for home'
0(TGreat are the uses of whiskey. Great
and manifold are its blessings. Its riches are
past competition. 1t is bread to the hungry.
1t Is rament to the naked. 1t is Joy to the
heavy hearted, 1t is gold to the penness 1t
feeds the fires OF the patriots heart. 1t kindles

under all circumstances
| Here, before our office, are three Seymour
! lv in l.
The earth Is a little upsy under them-reeIs
gently ground swell. Their hats have all
seen about the same service, clothes ditto
| Their faces look like pieces OF dried beef dashed
with hectic of skOkeberres. They are the
" natural liberty . fraternity. their elbows, knees
pockets, toes--all free and unlrammeled bv
SUMMARY restraints. They eat what they want,
if they can get it-drink what. they want, it
they can show up the tin. They are men whose
fathers fought for liberty. They venerate the
constitution and drink to give it perpetuity and
strength. They are opposed to the right of
search and the destruction property. They
willingly make great personal sacrifices to sus-
tain the agricultural interests. They raise no
/, coarse grains 4" or "hops,' yet with a most
dlsmterested benevoence, pour spirits down to
down to keep the prices up. They do not be-
+ IIeve in cOerclve measures or the mingIng of
| temperance, politics and religion together.-
They never mix any temperance or religion
with heir politics. They believe in preach
ing the gospel" not iSmS. They drink often
get tuddled individually and generally, and
scattcrlngy. They love rum and Governor
Seymour; use the whole sidewalk and the lar

alton which is rarely seen. Reader, did YOU
ever see a stack of muskets on a camp groundt
: AS doth the muskets so do these men-s1and

i, A BULL N CHURCH.-Tn one of the letters
printed in the autobiography of the late Rev.
w. Jay, just published, he tells a story of q
bull entering church where the reverned gen.
tleman was preaching. 1.-THE congregation
was large; and just as was concluding the
a. sermon there a general CONSERVATION and
d. cutlery. All was confusion, the people treading
on one other, &c. 1t was rather dark, and tht
