A DANGEROUS RIDE.-As Governor
Allston was proceeding in his carriage to
the parade-ground, near Granville, he
overlook one Of the bone and sinew of the
land, when something like the following
dialogue took place.
Bone and Sinew--I say, stranger,
you've got nice carriage, and plenty o
rooms pose you give Sal and me lift
to the review?
Governor-Certainly, sir, you are well
come to ride.
They thank him. get in, and ride some
distance in silence.
Bone and Sinew-Stranger, you look
like a mighty clever fellow; who mought
you be?
Governor-Well some call me the
Governor of the State
Bone and Sinew-Gra-a-a-te J-e-r-u
s-a-lem! Sal, get out o'here.
And sure enough, they got out. as no
solicitation could avail to make them ride
with live Governor. They would as
soon have sat hy a rattlesnake.

PERFECTLY CooL.--A waggish friend
of ours tells the following, which we do
not remember to have seen in print:
ga certain man, whom we will call
NJ, was noted for possessing great
courage aud presence Of mind, and the
crossest wife in the neighborhood
More than one attempt had been made
to frighten NJ, without success but
one dark, stormy evening, one Of his
brother chips resolving to see if there was
any scare in him, fixed up in the most
ghostly style possible, and stationed him
self in lonely piece Of woods through
which NJ had to pass Oh his way
home.
The pretended ghost had scarcely set
tied himself in his position, when NJ
hove in sight, and came whistling along
unconcerned as usual. Suddenly the
ghostly figure confronted him, and in a
sepulchral voice, commanded him to stop.
NJ did 50, and after regarding his
companion for moment, said with the
utmost GOODNESS =
a can't stop, friend; you are a
man, must request you to get out OF
the way and let me pass; if you are the
devil, come along and take supper with
me, l married yo1 sister.

astonished
''Arithmetic! no, sir

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought ana notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
TO strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gid the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland & Jakeman--mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them a call.

that the unterrided Democracy of Nebras-

it may afford. .HtI III' HH.
After the hay is cut and put up in stacks,
proper care should be taken to guard
against prairie fires. IL the hay that
was burned last season, had been saved
it would have been sufficient to keep the
cattle in good condition, and saved num-
bers from starvation. ~ .l o..
1t is asserted by those who have had
the opportunity of being informed on the
subject, that nearly half of the cattle thai
were in the Territory last fall, died be-
fore spring, and tia. too, from outright
shiftlessness on the part of the owners in
neglecting to secure hay enough TO keep
them alive. We hope that the good sense
of our farmers will prevent a repetition
of the same, the coming winter.
