pleasure in his boy heart, as he examined the
bright blades and tried the clicking springs,

Anecdote of Dudley Marvin,

We have read and heard many anecdotes ol
this distinguished gentleman, who is well
known in this section. The following, which
we have often heard repeated, we have never
seen in print. Perhaps it is not worth pub
fishing, bot the reader can Judge for himself :
Some years since, before the facilities for
travelling were quite as good as at present.
when the lawyers were obliged TO fill huge
pair of saddle-bags with dry-goods, and trav-
el MANY weary miles on horseback to the
scene of active operations, Mr.. M. came to
Ellicottvile, in real muddy time,' to attend
court. He put up at the Irwin, and gave the
horse in charge of the honest hostler,' who
happened 10 be keen emigrant from the EN-
erald Isle. Mr.. NJ, by way of amusing him.
self little, told Pat, in addition to feeding
and cleaning off the nag, that he must talk
to him. Pat started for the barn, and had
proceeded but few steps, when he was loudly
called by Mr.. NJ, who again asked him if he
would be sure to talk to the horse. Pat briefly
and Immediately informed him that his request
should be attended to, and made his way for
The barn.
Court proceeded, and was not brought to
close till several days afterwards. When i,
finally terminated, the reckoning was paid, and
the horse ordered to be brought to the door,
Pat led him out, saddled and brided, and held
him in readiness for his owner He at length
appeared at the door, and when ready to mount,
asked Pat if he had talked TO the horse.

The Know-Nothings

FOR Me Eastern Tune,
The Know-Nothings.
Dear reader. pray thee
Look over these lines,-
In friendship send them to you,-
And see if they don't
Every word, suit the times,
Because they are perfectly true.
For we are SO changing,
And changing fast,
Well soon all be changed to negroes;
I'm afraid they will hang us,
Or drown us at last,
To save their own Witches and Quakers.
These champions of freedom,
That have lately arose.
They call themselves Liberty's sons
Their fathers were tories.-
They are no sons of those
Who fought for their freedom and won.
Why hang out the banner
On Freedoms great nap,
Inviting the stranger to come,
Then boastingly taunt him,
When caught in their trap,
That freedom was made but tor them!
These night-banded despots-
In secret they plot.
To establish their blue-laws in Maine;
0. Genius of Freedom.
Will thy spirit not
Awake from thy slumber again.
Let not Names forest brushwood
In secret combine,
And say nothing shall grow here but oak
Well take from the banner,

With Lafayeit's sword
And brave band of foreigners too.

Religion has blest,
Though sceptics there may be who doubt
In the moral blessings
And know-nothing tests
Like Macbeth, it sticks in their throats.

With bigots unite,
Our pathway to freedom to close
We'd ask their jealous gods
If such counsels are right,
To make of their best friends their foes
