principal 100000 year. 8. The credit OF
the Commonwealth shall not in any manner

Pork AND PIiNo.-An honest farmer was
invited to attend party at village squire's
one evening Wien there was music, both vo-
cal and instrumental. On the following
morning he met one of the guests who said;
swell, farmer, how did you enjoy yourself
last night; were not the quartettes excel

he, s'for didn't taste them; but the pork

The American Eagle.
DIV TIN DAD TTNCT0O

This is the greatest bird that has evel
spread his wings over this great anc
glorious country The place where he
builds his nest is called an eyrie, away
up on the precipices where the foot Of
man can't come, though perhaps boy
might. The eagleis ferocious fellow
and sits on the top Of the cliffs and
looks sharp for plumber. He gets tired
of waiting, and then he starts out in the
blue expansive heavens, and scars all
around on his pinions over the land and
water to see what he can pounce down
upon. And, though he is called very
cruel bird! he always preys before eat
ing, just like any moral man at the head
of his family. He eats his victuals raw
which is very unfavorable habit, but
it is supposed that he eats itso because
he likes to. He is a very coura geous
bird, and will fight like blazes for his
young, AMI steal chickens whenever he
can see them, He is a bird Of great
talons, and is much respected by birds
of the feathered tribe that are afraid Of
him. He is great study for artists,
but appears to the best advantage on
dollar gold pieces, and fifty cent
pieces, and pretty well on the dimes, as
he sits gathering up his thunderbolts
under him, as if he was in a great hur-
ry to be off. He has lately broken out
on the new cent, and seems as if in his
hurry he had dropped all his thunder.
The American Eagle is the patriots hope
and the inspiration Of fourth Of July.
He scars through the realms Of the po-
cts fancy and whets his beak on the
highest peak Of the orators magma
ton. He is in the mouth Of every poll
tician, SO to speak. He is said by them
to stand on the Rocky Mountains and to
dip his bill into the Atlantic while his
tail casts shadow on the Pacific coast.
This is all CANNON. There never was
one more than ten feet long from the
tip of one wing to the 'tother. His an
cry scream is heard ever so far, md he
don't care a feather for any body. Take
him every way he is an immense fowl
and his march is over the mounting
wave, with the stars pangled banner in
his hand and Nhistling Yankee Doodle.

SsPi..,

The Flint Democrat has long arti.
Gle on "Pi," from which, as it is good
we give an extract
"Pi.''-Well, do you know what il
| is, reader? We will tell you. Having
succeeded in getting up fifteen columns
Of reading matter for our paper this
week, we felt proud, but pride will have
its fall, and so will type, sometimes,
too. We got our "form'' upon the
press, and was lowering it to its place,
when-crash went our hopes and our
type together, in one confused mass of
"pi''-printer's cpl" Did you ever ar
rive Just in season to miss the cars?
Did you ever 90 a thousand miles to see
a particular friend, and arrive just after
he had left to 60 a thousand mile jour
ney? Did you ever aim furious blow
with hammer at the head Of a nail,
and catch the whole Of the blow upon
your thumb? In short did you ever feel
decidedly "Aat"- mot knowing whether
to laugh or cry, but feeling strong in
clination to do both? Then you can
imagine the humor in which our ''pi"
leaves us.

vindication of his prescriptive right thereto!
Did not Shields vote for the Nebraska
bill, and curse himself for the act Did he
not shake the dust off his military boots at
tine threshold of Illinois, and link his civic
fortunes with Minnesota Has he not made
Free Soil speeches, and cast Pro-Slavery

himself to agriculture, that political thrift
