A Busy Pay Day.

A prohigate young fellow, a son of a law
yer OF some eminence in Rhode Island, on a
certain muster or inspection day, purchased a
horse of an Ignorant farmer, and engaged to

When the inspection day had come, and
the farmer, unsuspicious of the trick, suppo-

young man for payment The latter express
sed great establishment that he should call on
him before the note was out.
"But il is QUIZ said the farther; "yon

Senator Pugh--An Eloquen mt Extract.


The Cincinnati Enquirer has brought out

Geo. E. Pugh, made in that city, April 9Th,
1854. Is there an Ohoan, who loves bis

vision will greet his eyes! The noble State

and enviable, will have passed before him

Union for peace and protection, for means Of
access 10 the Sea, but even for its political
existence. Arrived at this capital of western
trade and power, this queen of cities, which
glasses herself in a river proverbial fol beau

industry and enterprise as superb in design
as il is magnificent in proportions, which, but
for the Unions continual care, would quick
ly fade into despair and ashes. Let him go
hence by the agency Of that subtitle minister
which enlivens 80 many wondrous forms Of
mechanism, until he has reached the States
which lie upon our southern border-those
fertile and sunny lands through whose allu-

from SAM and the vast assemblages which

meetings in Western Virginia, two Of sSam's'

to annoy and insul, him. Wise paused in
