THE OLD oAKEN BUCKET

The subioined revised edition of "The
Old Caken Bucket" strikes US as almost a
parody, but we may be mistaken. At any
rate, its revelations" will remind many a
country born metropolitan of what he saw and
experienced in elites young day."-Kn;cker-
booker.
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my
childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view !!
The cheese press, the goose-pond, the pigs in
the wildwood,
And every old stump that my infancy knew.
The big lincum- Eastwood, with widespread
ing shadow,
The horses that grazed where my grandmoth-
er fell,
The sheep on the mountain, the calves in the
meadow,
And all the young kittens we drowned in the
| remember with pleasure my grandfather
goggles,
Which rode so majestic astraddle his nose,
and Goggles"
That belonged to old Dolly, now free from her
woes.
And fresh in my heart is the long maple
woodspile.
Where often I've worked with beetle and
wedge,
Striving to whack up enough to last good
while,
And swearing because my old axe had no edge.
And there was the kitchen, and pump that
stood nigh it,
Where we sucked up the drink through quill
in the spout,
And the hooks where we hung up the pump
kin to dry it,
And the old cider-ptcher "no doing without :"
The brown earthen pitcher, the nozzle-cracked
The pain easing pitcher, "no doing without"
And there was the school-house, away from
each dwelling,
Where school-ma' ans would govern with abb
soute sway,
Who taught me my arithmetic" reading and
spelling
Ard '.whaled me like blazes" about every day.

Which led to the loft in the peak of the house.
Where my grandmother hung up her 'punkin
and sassage."

mouse.
But now, far removed from that nook of crea-
ton,
Emotions of grief as big as tea-kettles swell,
When FANCY rides back to my old habitation,

The meek little kittens. the milk loving kittens,
The poor little kittens We drowned in the 1-ell.

PAT AND THE OYSTERS.

Pat, who had just been transplanted,,
had been sent BY his master to purchase
half bushel Of oysters at quay, but
was absent so long, that apprehensions
were entertained for his safety. He re-
turned at last, however, putting under
his load in the most musical style
"Where have you been, Pat :" ex-
claimed his master
"Where have I been? why, where
should be: to fetch the oysters
"And what, in the name Of St. Pat
rick, kept you SO long''
''Long! by my soul, think I have
been pretty quick, considering all things::'
"Considering what things;''
"Considering what things why, con-
sidering the cutting Of the fish to be-

''Gutting what fish -
"What fish: why, blur an'-owls, the

THE Bitter Brian aneedote is
told in connection with the drawing of
the Art Union which illustrates the
precocity of California youths. A bog,
twelve or thirteen years of age, had spS-
eral tickets in partnership with his en-
pleyer, on Sansome street. Shortly af-
ter the drawing commenced, he wrote
down list Of numbers purporting to be
those drawn, and placed the number of
ticket which he held jointly with his
employer at the head of the list, which,
of course, would have entitled them to
the $4,000 ingot. He went down to bis
place of business and carelessly handing
the list to his employer, teld him that
those were the first numbers drawn
that he had not time to examine them,
and asked him to compare them with
their tickets and see if they had drawn
anything. On looking at she list, his
employer saw, at glance that the first
number set down was exactly that of
one of their tickets. Crumpling the pa
per up, he stuffed it in his pocket and
declared that they had not won anything,
and appeared to dismiss the subject from
his mind. Presently, returning to the
hoy, he asked him what he would take
for his share of the tickets the boy re-
piled $50, which his employer promptly
paid him, but soon found to his great
chagrin and discontinue that in attempt
ing to swindle the young scamp he had
been swindled himself. Herald.

One scarcely knows whether to laugh,
or to "point moral y in the following
story of " worsted !" tradesman, lately
"taken in and done for" in provin-
cial town in England:
A man some six feet three inches
in height, and of Herculean build, went
into the place of one Of the Worcester
shop-keepers, and asked if they had got
any 'whirlers that is, stockings with
out feet.
"'No,' said the shop keeper but
we have got some famous big and strong
stockings, as will just suit such a mar as
YOU
"Let's haze look at 'em,' said the
man.
"The counter was Immediately COW
cred with quantity. The working
Hercules selected the largest pair, and
said:
&c What's the price of them p
"'Four shillings and ninepence,' was
the reloinder.
"s Can you cut the feet off of them p
was the next query.
"Oh, certainly said the shop-keep-
err.
"sThen just cut them off," was the
laconic direction.
"No sooner said than done. The
long shop-shears we're applied, and in
stantly the stockings were fo6tless.
"And what's the price Of 'em mou =
asked the customer, with all the COM
posure imaginable.
"'Price of them moao . echoed the
worsted merchant, surprised beyond
measure at the absurdity of the question !;
why four shillings and ninepence, to
be sure =
"'Foar shilings Gad ninepence!n ex-
claimed the purchaser L never gave
but one shilling and sixpence for pair
of !" whirlers :" in my life,-and he laid
down the amount upon the counter.
"sWell, replied the tradesman, chop
fallen and fairly outwitted, throwing the
mutations at him, take them, and be
off with you You've 'whirled me this
time. but I'll take good care that Meth
err you nor any of your roguish gang
shall do it again as long as l live y p"
This will remind the reader, perhaps,
of the cute Yankee auctieneer, who, af-
ter disposing of violin, after hard
bidding, to elose-fsted buyer, went
on:
"Now gentlemen, how much m offer
ed for the Bow how much how
much M offered for the Bow :"
Expostulation was useless. The fid-
die and the bow, said he, were in sep

From the Herald of Yesterday.
The Baltic,s Intelligence.

The news by the Baltic, in It's leading features
is more and more warlike, and in reference 10 the
policy of England is oft highest moment. The
return of Lord Palmerston TO the cabinet il is nm
derstood, is equivalent to deliberate determine
lion TO prepare for war with Russia His coun-
sells are held TO be indispensable TO decisive and
united action.
The decline in the French funds, on receipt Of
Palmersons return to the Ministry, is a most sig
nfcant Interpretation of the mQXsGlent. II is con-
strued at the Bourse as foresl VI the call OF
the Continent TO arms.
There is no difficulty with Louis Napoleon
none with regard 10 the universal wishes Of the
French army and the people. France is ready,
and is only waiting the tardy movements of her
ally across the channel; SO that, when the cabinet
of England begins 10 move in the same direction
with the popular sentiment OF England, France
and the United States the barometer of the Bourse
gives warning of hurricane.
The consent of the Sultan TO detail a represen-
tative 10 the new conference of the great powers
at Vienna, amounts TO little or nothing, when he
declares that the evacuation Of the personalities
or a guarantee 10 that effect is the sine qua non
of Turkey for paciicaion.
Nor are the symptoms in Austria Of an inclina-
ton TO side with the Gar favorable TO peace. Nor
is the dubious attitude OF Prussia satisfactory
In fact, the prospect of war by England and
France against Russia must inevitably, al all haz-
ards, unite Austria with the cause OF the Gar
otherwise Austria is Immediately destroyed. AS
il is, her position is vastly critical than that
ofTurkey. From the revolutionary elements with
in the diversified Austrian dominions, she will,
perhaps in any alliance, only escape destruction
in a general contest, from the saving intervention
Of England and France in the final treaty Of peace
A detail of the news referred TO above we shall
give in to-morrows paper.
