SUPPORT HOME PAPERS.

AMUsING.-The editor of the Albany
Register, having been disturbed by an
assemblage Of cats under his window,
thus gives vent to his Indignation:
But those cats, in our opinion, are in
danger, and we warn all who have inter

cy, to look to them, We have been con-
strained to watch for hours, when We
ought to have been asleep. We have
heard the clock strike twelve, one, tw Q, Ot
intervals in their performances, and have
been tempted to the use of terms not to be
found in any religious work, or any of the
stan lard sermons of the day. We have
dropped brickbats among them, wastet

to spare, have taken cold by the exposure
to the night air becoming hoarsc by hal

loose pieces of brick, the smallest stick o.
our wood pile and our patience. In view
OF all these facts we submit that there il
nothing left for us but to move ourselves

move. We have prepared double bar

His TINE HAD CoME.--A few years
ago two men ofgreat physical strength
were elected to the Legislature in one
Of our western States, the one an excl
table lawyer, the other a blacksmith,
but unfortunately little deaf. The
latter was very troublesome to his
friends. His name commenced with
a letter A. He frequently voted wrong,
by mistake, and lead others wrong
By arrangement with the clerk his
name was put down second in the list.
and being a regular he submitted.
and voted invariably with the leader
that had been thus unceremoniously
permitted to outrank him.
One day his athletic friend and
brother legislator, the lawyer, got into
an exciting political debate-the lie
was passed, and in a moment the law
yer had his coat of, ready for fight
This unlegislative attitude paralyzed.
for moment, the House, which had
become proverbial for order and deco
rum. Directly, however, every per-
sons attention was drawn to the gigan-
tic blacksmith, who rushing up to his
comrade, exclaimed, pointing towards
the other side Of the House: "You
take the back seat, and | will take the
front. / can't legislate, but / car
whip my weight in wild cats"

do not believe the sad story.
OF ages Of sleep in the tomb:
We shall pass far away to the glory
And grandeur of Kingdom Come.
The palcness of death, and its stiffness,
May rest on my brow for awhile;
And my spirit may lose in its chillness
The splendor of hopes happy smile.
But the gloom Of the grave will be transient
And light as the slambers of worth;
And then shall blend with the ancient
And beautiful forms of the earth.
Through the clines of the sky, and til,

OF bliss, cvermorc shall roam,
Wearing crowns of the stars and the flower
That glitter in Kingdom Come.
The friends who have parted, before me,
From life's gloomy passion and pain.

Their voices are lost in the soundless
Retreats of their endless home;
But soon we sha meet in the bounlless

A BIT oE RoMANcF.--Somc years ago,

A BlT oE RoMANCF.--Somc years ago,
says the St. Louis lntelligencer, very
beautiful young lady was the ward of a
person i'll Louisiana, who defrauded her
out of quite large fortune. This lady
came to this city, where she married, but
not living on good terms with her hus-
band, finally obtained divorce from him
and retired TO aconvent Whilst she was
there she received letter from the son of
her former guardian, informing her of his
father S death, and that himself had heired
all his vast property, but that he could
not consent to retain that which had been
treacherously taken from another, and Of
lering to make restitution. The lady i'm
mediately proceeded to Louisiana, had an
interview with the heir, and received back,
both principal and interest, all that she
had been wronged out of. The strangest
part Of the story remains behind. Nc
sooner had she got possession of her for
tune, than she returned to this city, sought
out her former husband, and in a few
days was REMARKED to him. Verify, the
love of woman passeth understanding
The parties are now living in st. Louis
and it is to be hoped will agree better than
forlaerly.
