SPIRIT or A MaS.-,Joe Doyetail had a
wife--a strong minded wife. She looked
upon Joe rs sort of necessary evil, trcat-
ing him very much az the lady did her hus-
band on the North River steamboat, who
ventured to object to some Of her arrange
ments for travel, when she shut him up sud
| denly by telling him in the hearing Of doz-
en- passengers, . Why, what is it to you? If
had known you were going to act so, |
wouldn't have brought you along.' But
Joe and Mrs. Joe Dovetail never travelled.
They were always at home, though Joe was
rarely seen there or elsewhere. She had
long trained him to the habit of retiring un-
der the bed when company called, and 50
familiar had he become with that retreat,
it was question whether, in default Of per-
sonai service, q warning t. n militia training
would hold him, unless left under that bed,
as being his last usual place Of abode"
During the stay Of Mrs. Joe's friends, he oc-
casionally thrust out his head, like q turtle,
but one glance Of the loving eye Of his
spouse would send him back under, with cold
shivers running up his back. One day, as
she was hob-nobbing over the fire with a
friend and social glass, Joe thrust out his
| figure head, and defed the shakes and
frowns Of his wife, till growing valiant and
desperate, he sung out" My dear, you may
shake your head just as much as you please,
but tell you, MS long as Eve got the spirit
Of man, will peek.
GEs. WALKERS EARLY LovE.-The history
of General Walker, like that OF all other
men cf marx, = -. free from the romance
of love as we'll as that of war. Whilst law
student at New Orleans, he conceived a warm
attachment for an interesting young lady,
who was born deaf and dumb. She had
t tbeen we'll educated, and was Of very cngag-
ing manners. Her misfortune drew towards
her the sympathies and regard Of oil tender
hearted persons. With his characteristic
originality and popularity of feeling and
sentiment, Walker became warmly cnamored
of this young lady. She recprocated his
regard, and for some time they were never
happy unless together. He soon acquired a
knowledge of her signs, and they conversed
with great facility, the medium Of their con.
versation no doubt adding zest to their en-
joyment. At last some slight misunderstand-
ing interrupted their intercourse, and before
n reconciliation could be effected, the young
lady died. This event gave tinge Of mel
ancholy to the thoughts and character OF
Walker. Perhaps, as many Of his friends
thought, il produced the change in his char
acter which ensued-a change from the quiet,
modest student, to the bold, daring, daunt-
| less revolufionist and warrior
