The Song of the Speakers Chair.

The Song of the Speakers Chair
BY DEsMARAIs.
Not cheer was heard-not trumpha note
AS through the ballots they hurried
Not candidate reached the final vote,
Though the President grumbled and worried.
They dozed and voted till dead Of night
r By the gas expensvcly burning;
And smiled in their dreams--as well they might
At their daily eight dollars, thus earning
Vainly the Opposition tried
To weary them out by sitting;
Calmly they safe in their arm chairs wide
Till the shades of night were fiitting;-
Sternly they cast the unfllnching votes
To which party oaths had bound them;
Grmlv thev smiled, as they button'd their coats,
And wrapp'd their .shawls' around them.
Few and brief were the words they said,
And scarcely spoken in sorrow
As the last ballot still Intellectual spec,
For rich were the wines over which they hobnob'd,
And dainty the dinners they swaliow'c;
And bright was the peoples gold they fobb'd,
And staunch the leaders they Ioiiow'd.
So. still they doze in their cushion'd ranks,
And dine, aud drink, and ballot;
While still Messrs Richardson, Fuller and Banks,
Wait in vain, for the Speakers mallet
oh, is there no sturdy Rc,A|head band,
With an Oliver Croinw cil to lead 'em,
" ho would take these Congressman in hand,
And "Parliamcnt hcmily" read 'cm;
Who would order fnal choice at once,
And if any should snivel or stammer,
Would settle the brains of the obstinate Ounce
With rap of the Speakers hammer!

EmANeIpArIoE OF RUSSIAN SERFs.-Prlvate
letters from ST. Petersburg and other parts OF Rus.
sa assert that there is no truth in the report OF
its being The Cars intention to emancipate the
serfs throughout his dominions. Indeed, il was
but the other day that M. Lansko, the Home
Minister, addressed circular TO the nobility. as
surng them that all their privileges would be
maintained. It is an indisputable fact that dynss-
tic considerations and desire 10 enfeebIe their
power and resources weighed seriously on the late
Emperor's mind when he inflicted the curse OF
war on Europe. The same considerations or de-
signs have similar influence with the reiyning
sovereign; but the day is not come when ne can
attempt measure 50 bold as that of dePnvIng
landholders of the main source Of existence, and
thence, likewise, of contributing to the necessities
of the State. The stamp Office on cards tor play.
the receipts Of which go to the imperial board OF
education, has published curious notice invit'ng
persons to contract for the conveyance OF ABOUT
493 200 pounds weight Of cards TO different Pans
of The empire during the coming year. The sale
of such cards is m m,nopoly, much like the tobacco
"repie." ,

TIE FauIrs OF WAR.-1'he Albany Evening
Journal publishes list of the battles fought du-
ring the year 1855, with the number OF people
killed at each, beginning with the bombardment
of Shanghai by the French, at which one hundred
fell, and ending with the fall Of Ksrs, at which
1900 fell by which list it appears that seventy
three battles have occurred during the year, or
more than one for each week, with an average
loss ofover a thousand men killed in each. Ibis
list does not include those who have fallen by DIS
ease. or in skirmishes nor the wounded, dlsabled,
those who died in the hospital or the ambulance,
or were irreparably MANNED or missing, or prison
ers. The nutnoer left dead upon the field usual
ly comprises only about one fourth the entire loss
in battle. by this rule, the entire number
swept ont Of useful existence BY the wars OF 1850
must have reached over 100000 men. No year
has presented so bloody record since Waterloo.

remember ever having seen in print. VI course

a few years since a party of very disl,ngne
Southern planters, two Of whom were Democrats
and one Whig, being on visit to the North,
were invited about election time TO dine at the
house of a wealthy, arisocratic, and withal very
beautiful lady in Southern Ohio After being
seated at the table, which was luxuriantly spread
with all the decaces which wealth could com
mand, large burly negro came in and seated
himself directly Opposite the gentlemen at table.
The gentlemen were too we'll bred to notice the
intruder at the time, but Immediately upon his re-
tirement from the room, one of them remarked to
the lady: M e
"What could have induced you to insult US by
the presence of nIgger at your table"
-Why, gentlemen, he is my husband !"replied
the lady. ,g5a y ~ r
'.Your hnsband!" exclaimed the three simul-
taneously, with unfeigned astonishment.
"Yes; MY siser first ruined our family pride
in marrying, and resolved to equal her. This
colored man was wealthy and so married him."
"Pray, who did your sister marry2" asked one
Of the party.
"Vhy she married a Locofoco, and have
never been able 10 hold my head up since W
The two I.oc0focos made an excuse for cutting
their visit short. They endeayored to keep the
joke secret, but the Wing would tell, and 50 the
'sstury got out"
