SONATHAN'S HUNTING Elk
CURSION.

''Did you ever hear of the scrape
! and uncle Zeikel had ducking ont
on the Connecticut river?" Asked
Jonathan 1imbertoes while amusing
his old Dutch hostess, who had
agreed to entertain him in consider
alton of bran new tin milk pan.
mo l never did--do tell it.
well, you must know that l and
uncle Zeke took it into our heads to
go cunning arter ducks, in fathers

We, and bime-by few of them lit

my powder horn to prime, and it
slipped right out of my hand and
sunk to the bottom of the river.---
The water was amazingly clear, and

Uncle Zeke, you're pretty clever

there he staid.
Here the old lady opened her
eyes with wonder, and a pause of
sometime ensued, when Jonathan
added

MODEST ASSURANCE.

A good-looking young fellow
stopped all last week at Major Bells
Hotel, Cahawba, Alabama, and Or
dered his baggage down to the boat,
and went down himself without pay
ing his bill. Said TIE Major:
"Sir, you must not leave without
paying your bill. / can't afford to
hire servants, buy provisions and
board people for nothing"
"You can't"
"No."
"Well, then, why in the thunder
don't you sell out your tavern to
some one who CAM"
Our informant is extremely anx-
ious to chalk that mans hat both
ways, as a slight tribute of respect
to his magnificent impudence.

FOR THE GIRLS.

Men who are worth having, want
women for their wives. A bundle
Of gew-gaws, bound with string of
flats and quavers, sprinkled with col
ogne and set in carmine saucer
this is no help for man who ex-
poets to raise family of boys and
girls on vegetables, bread and meat.
The piano and llce frame are
good in their places; and so are rib
bons, frills and tinsel; but you can
not make a dinner Of the former, nor
bed blanket of the latter. And
awful as the idea may seem to you,
both dinner and bed blankets are me-
cessary to domestic happiness
Life has its realities as well as fan
cies; but you make it all a matter Of
decoration-remembering the tas-
sells and curtains, but forgetting the
beadstead. Suppose young man
of good sense and of course good
prospects, to be looking for a wife,
what chance have you to be chosen?
You may cap him, or trap him, or
catch him; but how much better to
make it an object for him to catch
you, Render yourself worthy of
catching, and you will need no
shrewed mother Or managing BROTH
ers to help you find market.

Congress-.

The Providence Journal takes the fol-
lowing philosophical view Of the doings Of
Congress:
Congress deserves well of the country.
Three weeks have gone by, and as yet no
mischief has been done. No absurd act has
been passed, no wholesome law has been
repealed, the currency has not been tamper-
ed with; industry has moi been assailed; the
compromises as the constitution have not
been disturbed, and nothing has been done
towards getting us into a war"

what they have done in Kansas. The object
of the society, as stated by the resolutions,is
to raise money to defray the expenses of

emigration westward, and aiding in proriding
accommodations for the emigrants after aTrir-
ing at their places Of destination"
This was the object of the Society, and the
sole one, and no other assistance was ever rem
dered them, as sworn by the officers, except
in cheapening their tickets in consequence of
the discount procured Of the transportation
companies. These officers also swore, that no
emgrant was asked his opinion respecting sla-
very before he started, and that no abolitionist,
TO their knowledge, was a member of the So
ciety. The president retired citizen
The Society expected to make their profit in
land Purchases, no doubt, and in raising up n
population to consume their manufacturers
Those who represented the design or the acts
of the Society as any way contrary to this
statement were base and malicious slandercrs,
and this has at length been fixed upon them by
public opinion. Senator Douglas was one Of
the first to aid the Missouri ruffians in the cir
cuation of the calumny from his place at
Washington, which he has more than once
prostituted to ignominious uses. How little
reason was given for Missouri violence by any
thing the Massachusetts, Emigrant Society
had done, is conclusively shown by the official
census OF the territory taken a month prcvi-
Gus to the invasion, whereby it appears, that
of all the adult freemen then in the territory,
amounting to near 5000, only 100 were from
the New England States
We have now given in few words the gisf,
we believe, of the Kansas war. From this
truthful and plain statement, the answer can
readily be given, to the question, with which
we commenced, ssWho began the aggressions
in Kansas ?'' Atchison and the Missouri Ruff
fans began it for the shareholders in the field;
but he, Dixon, of Kentucky, and others, made
use of Douglas to begin it previously in the
Senate Councils. With these conspirators
Pierce was an accessory before the fact, and
Buchanan is an accessory after the fact.

EIGHTY YEARS AGO.

Bf CHARLES SPRAGUE.
Eighty years have rolled away,
Since that high, heroic day,
When our fathers in the fray
Struck the conquering blow,
Praise to them-the bold who spoke -
Praise to them-the brave who broke
Stern oppression's CALLING yoke,
Eighty years ago.
Pour the wine of sacrifice,
Let the grateful anthem rise
Shall we eer resign the prize p
Neyer-never-noi
Hearts and hands shall guard those rights,
Bought on Freedoms battle heights,
Where he fixed his signal lights,
Eighty years ago!
Swear it,-by the mighty dead
Those who eounselled, those who led -
By the blood your fathers shed,
By your mothers woe =
Swear it,-by the living few
Those whose breasts were Scared for you,
When to freedom ranks they flew,
Eighty years ago!
By the joys that cluster round.
By our wales with plenty crowned,
By our hill-tops-holy ground,
Rescued from the foe
Where of old the Indian strayed,
Whore of old she pilgrim prayed,
Where the patriot drew his blade,
Eighty years ago.
Should again the war-trurnp peal,
There shall Indian firmness seal
Pilgrim faith and patriot zeal,
Prompt to strike the blow =
There shall valor's work be done;
Like the sire shall be the son.
Where the fight was waged and won,
, Eighty years ago.
