fork over. If there be any among you, one

to know why we dun them, this is our an

rather that we 60 to Jail, and you 60 free,
than you pay our debts, and We all keep
moving? As we agreed, We have worked
for you; as we contracted, we have furnish
ed our paper to you; as We promised, We
have waited upon you and you don't pay, We
dun you! Here are our arrangements for
job work; contracts for subscription !;
promises for long credit; and duns for de-
ferred payment. Who is there so mean that
he don't take paper? If any, he needn't
speak, we don't mean him. Who is there
so green that he don't advertise? If any,
let him slide-he amt the chap either
Who is there so bad that he don't pay the
printer? If any, let him shout, for he's
the man we're after. His name is Legion,
andhe's been owing us for one, two, three,
four, FIVE, six, seven and eight years--long
enough to make us poor, and himself rich
at our expense. If the above appeal to his
conscience don't awaken him to sense Of
justice, We shall have to try the law, and
see what virtue there is in writs and consta-

If your heart has become dissatisfied with

a fragment of heart in his bosom can see

A few weeks ago we were witness of q
parting that touched us nearly. 1t was be-

not been parted for a day, hardly for an

words-the only consolation left, and so

WHAT LADIES HAVE NO PATIENCE
WITH.

Ladies, like their male kindred, are prone
to be impatient and fdgety; so much so, that
not the most amiable and self-controlled,
can master the weakness wholly, for at
times, in spite of all their efforts to conceal
its workings, it shows up all its native disa-
greable features. But there are few things
especially that a lady can have no patience
with. They are thus enumerated by Punch
excellent authority, by the way. Though
the scenes are laid in England, the whole is
equally applicable nearer home:
She has no patience with men who 60 and
spend their money on dinners at Richmond
OF Greenwich, when their wives are obliged
to content themselves with a mutton chop
at home.
She has no patience with servants who
dress their hair in ringlets, or wear pretty
little French caps with gay ribbons, or sail
about the house with the same number of
out with Indian rubber hoops, or stand of
on evening tanning themselves at the area
gate. ,h.u-.-
She has no patience with gentlemen who
come into dinner an hour after their time,
and expect the dinner to be on the table the
very moment they come in. ...
She has no patience with Custom House
officers who rummage your boxes as though
they were servants and they were police
men who had been sent to examine them,
and who pull your summer dresses out, and
rumple your linen with no more concern
than washerwoman would who was gong
to take them to wash.
She has no patience with persons who
find fault with their children because they
make little noise and say they cannot sleep
on account of the racket the baby makes
during the night-just as if they hadn't
been children and babies themselves once in
their lives! r-
She has no patience with men who indulge
in personalities and all kinds of absurd rail-
leries against the female sex, and fancy
themselves extremely clever in saying few
smart things when they are only supremely
ridiculous. so.... ...-..s
She has no patience with ridiculous old
maids appearing in low dresses, and giving
themselves all the mincing airs Of the young
beauties. 81 .
She has no patience with young men and
little chitts Of boys, who 60 to the different
evening parties and will not dance, perhaps
because s'they're getting too old for that
sort OF thing" gr, .s... .-...
She has no patience with stuck up vulgar
individuals who contradict her, and in their
arrogance pretend to know so much better
than she does. r. ...
She has no patience with your fine GENTLE
men, who, when they happen to injure your
feelings, make you most beautiful promises
about taking you to the opera, or to Paris,
or tour up the Rhine, or beautiful sail on

deceitful promise. -. ~. ..-F..a

THE PORKER DlSSECTED.

DR.. Dixon, OF the Scalpel, dissects the
dietetic qualities of porker, as readily as
he slashes into the anatomy Of diseased hui
manity. Either the doctor is right, or Moses
Of old was wrong:
"The wisdom Of the Jewish law which
prohibits the use Of pork, will soon be ac-
knowledged by all rational beings. That
swine are afflicted with the scrofula and tu-
bercle, We have repeatedly shown, and every
killer of hogs well knows it; the indigesti-
bility of the flesh is acknowledged, and if
people were enlightened, the hog would be
raised for his fat alone. This is available
in all cases instead of whale and other fish
oils, and will doubtless be made so in place
OF vegetable oils-a few excepted Of the
finer kinds for eating. Mutton and beef,
If our farmers ever become enlightened,
may pro6tably take the place of the hog,
and would add greatly to the health and
dignity of the farmers household. If-and
We cmphatically aver 1t correct criterion
the material and getting up Of the family
meal Classics the occupant of household
among rational and intellectual beings, then
We say, that those on whose table pork is
most frequently found, are the least intel
Egent and most grovelling in their views.
We know distinctly the full bearings of what
We utter, and precisely how it will be receiv-
ed, nor do We care a farthing for the anathe-
mas that will be hurled at us for the asser-
ton. What motive remains for his eleva-
tion, if human being is taught to look
no higher than to such repast for the
nourishment Of body, and to the nearest
priest for the welfare of his soul?-
Now compare this fairly with the poor far
mer, such as we have often seen him ut the
family meal-ay, as you may now find him
all over our country, with his salt hog, po-
tatoes, and sour rye bread and his miserable
husbandry, and thousand excuses for not
raising sheep, protecting and feeding his
cattle, and changing and cultivating his
fowls. You need make but small search
for his pig-pen, his foul barn-yard, his
whiskey- bottle and tobacco-box, or his
nauseous pipe. The devils, we think, Sc
lected very appropriate lodgment when
they besought the Savior to send them into
the hogs.

GETTING THE NEWS.

The difficulty one experiences now-a- days
in getting hold of reliable news, when every
political partizan paper finds its interest in
telling good story FORTS own side, reminds
me Of an incident related by an old sea cap
tain some twenty years ago. lie says:
81 was coming from Calcutta, in the
good ship then commanded, had been
away from home eleven months, during
which time had heard no news from thence
either public or private.
OFF Barnegat, We fell in with a fishing
smack, having on board man and boy.
father and son. We wanted some fresh fish
and the father coming aboard, we then made
bargain with him, receiving in exchange
for red Indian bandanna handkerchief, a
plentiful supply.
ssWell, skipper" !" said /, after tho barter
was over, "what's the news?o He nodded
his head thoughtfully for a moment and

FARMERS AND POLITICS.

EDS. RuRAL:-It is not from desire
that have to establish or begin newspa-
per controversy with any one, though Imust
say that do not like the sentiments ex-
pressed by that "Old Fogy," about farmers
boys being farmers and politicians at the
same time. IF 1 understand him correctly,
he means to convey the idea that farmer
may some day become President, if he was
only educated sufficiently to fit him for that
station. Now it, is fact well known, that
a man, no matter if he has good educa-
tion, or if he possesses good traits and is ey-
eryway qualified to hold Office, that could
get it without seeking it, and if man be-
comes an ofice-seeker he ceases to be a
farmer, from that moment. For Instance
a farmer is elected constable of his district,
he is proud of having beaten his opponent,
and he gets a slight remuneration-enough
SO that he will not have to work very hard
that season-and he lets his farm 90. He
don't want any more money than his Office
will bring him. Thinking thus, he spends
his time in the bar-room, and lounging
around, and perhaps becomes in time a.
drunkard
a Another man becomes a Collector. Su-
peryisor, Town Clerk, or gets some Of the
