BILL GKEArBoUsE.-The sag boat s. H.
Long remained at Cairo several days, not
long since, Bill Greathouse, E-q., in COM
mand. -- =
Bill 10 talSative and humorous, as OF old,
looks fresh and vigorous the very kind OF
man, he thinks, 10 go to Congress soon from
the Pocket Of Indiana. .lr,.,s
/ Well, he's . clever fe How, nows how to
make himself ug-eea Bile, and all that, but il
he ever do run for Congress. Isincrrcly hope
good Wing will beat him awiully-head
him from the word go!
Bills main strength hes In his "turn" for
electioneering. No man in your district can
ind half such pretty children, good corn
bread, really comfortable cabins, fine stock,
&C., among the country people, as Bill can,
nor SO conveniently assimilate himself to all
kinds of people and circumstances. Equal him
in this, and you'll beat him easily.
| MAKING Fun FOR OTHERs.-A particularly
funny Irish lad, on board the steamer Bul.
letin. last trip, thought he'd occasion some
rare sport for his fellows, by throwing buck
ct Of water on q gentleman on shore, just as
the boat left the landing. He succeeded adj
mirably. The gentleman gathered wheel
barrow (the only movable thing at HANDY
and dashed it at him with perfect ven
geance; and Pat, to avoid it, lodged into the
river! Immense merrimen; succeeded-the
boat moved on with the wheelbarrow, and
without the Irishman, perfectly satisfied ap-
parently with the sudden exchange.
FAcr.-We have a man in this communi-
ty with whom nature has been decidedly
prankish. His mouth is so very crooked he
can't avoid splitting in his own ear. Instead
of wiping his mouth, therefore, after ejecting
his tobacco juice he generally wipes his ear.
SokRY FOR IT GA big niger fell over

He had been robbing kitchen, and, burden

" A young man. respectfully clad, ar
rived here. per Southern cralt,a few weeks
since, and after having long rough box Sc
cureiy deposited on one Of our wharf-boats
without uttering word to any one, he PEN
etrated the adjoining woods. There he sat
alone for hours, giving himself away to the
most violent paroxysms of grief.
Three days before. in the neighborhood Of
Memphis, he had led a merry, lovely girl to
the altar-there became n husband, she
vile. The future opened to his vision as !
smooth and nower-strewn path--unchilled
by the thought of death. But ale who do
eth all things well,' called home the bride, |
and left on earth a groom with a broken
heart.
In that rude box was a sacred charge--,he
pale and cod remains of one upon whom he |
had iavshed the purest WORSHIP of his young,
warm heart. The jewel of his affections was
there; the hands that had carressed him, the
lips that had brea'hed an undying love--all
in the embrace Of death, returning fast to
dust from which they came. Over this he
mourned, careless but not uncared for, for
watchful eyes observed and generous hearts
s~ellcd with lively sympathy for his dis.
tressing fate. 4
His was a wild enthusiastic love; his new
life giving promise Of Unreasonable bliss; and /
having this all wrecked drove from out his
heart the very light of lie.
