establishing colonial settlement for the
cultivation Of sugar cane, coffee and other

Congress.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American gives description of the
auction sale of the furniture of Pendle
TONS gambling house at Washington, and
exposes its bad effects upon members OF
Congress:
These gambling resorts have increased
tearfnlly at Washington within the last
ten years, aud it is notorious that they have
done more to demoralize legislation than
all the other debasing and corrlptrg in
iinences which have been brought to bear
upon weak, venal, or needy members OF
Congress. lwas deeply impressed by the
silent but eloquent witnesses Of this fact,
when the draws of Pendletons desk were
opened yesterday, and numerous bills re-
lating to schemes before Congress, were
exposed to public view. The misery and
wretchedness and degradation inflicted
on men and families by these hells are ap
palling, and even the imperfect disclosures
which have reached me accidentally, OK
hibit a state of morals in Congress which
would astonish the country if exposed.
Some of these gamblers, and others who
are concerned as capitalists with them,
are openly employed IS lobby agents, from
their supposed ability to control votes
through obligations incurred by members,
and the fact is one of common town talk
that their tables are the daily resort Of q
large class Of such voters, in preference to
the hotels. Strange rs it may seem,
the influence has so rami6ed that it VA

house was nearly equally divided, tha, the

Hymn OF Marsellaise.

The Marsellaise was inspired by genius,
patriotism, youth, beauty and champagne.
Rouget de Lisle was an officer Of the gar.
rison at Strasburg, and native of Mount
Jura. He was an unknown poet and com
poser. He had a peasant friend, named
Dietrck, whose wife and daughters were
the only critics and admirers of the sol.
der poets song. One night he was at
supper with his friends family, and they
had only coarse bread and slices of ham,
Dietrich, looking sorrowfully at De Lisle,
saids "Plenty is not our feast, but we
have the courage of soldiers heart; I
have still one bottle left in the cellar
bring it in, my daughter, and let us drink
to liberty and our country ~
The young girl brought the bottle; it
was soon exhaust d, and De Lisle went to
bed ne could not sleep for the cold, but
his heart was warm and full of the beat
ing Of genius and patriotism. He took a
small clavicord and tried to compose a
-
song; sometimes the words were compos
ed tirst-sometmes the air. Directly he
fell asleep over the instrument, and wax
ing at daylight, wrote down what he had
conceived in the delrium of the night.
Then he walked the family and sung his
production At first the women turned
pale, then wept, then burst forth in cry
of enthusiasm. 1t was the song of the
nation and of terror.
Two months afterwards Dietrick went
to the scatfold, listening to the self same
music, composed under his ows roof, and
under the inspiration of his last bottle of
wine. The people sang it everywhere; it
dew from city to city, to every public or
chestra. Marseilles adopted the song at
the opening and close of its clubs-hencs
the name "Hymn Of the Marsellaise;' then
it sped all over France. They sung it in
their houses, in public assemblies, ard in
the stormy street convocation. De Lisle's
mother hearing it, said to her son, "What
is this revolutionary hymn sung by bands
of brigands, and with which your name is
mingled ?" De Lisle heard it, and shud.
dered as it sounded through the streets of
Paris, rung from the Alpine passes, while
he, royaIist. fled from the lniuriated peo
pie, trenzied by his own words. France
was grea; ampha,heatre Of anarchy and
blood, and De Lisle's song was the battle
cry.
There is no national air that will com
pare with the Marseillaise in sublimity
and power. 1t embraces the soft caden-
ces full Of the peasants home, and the
stormy clangor of silver ard steel when
an empire is overthrown; it endears the
memory Of the vine dresser's cottage, aud
makes the Frenchman, in the exile, cry
LA belle France!' forgetful Of the torch,
and sword, and guillotine, which have
made his country spectre Of blood in the
eyes of nations. Nor can the foreigners
listen to it, sdng by company of exiles,
or executed by a band of musicians, with.
out feeling that it is the pibroch of battle
and war.

Modes or Walking.

Observing persons move slow, their
heads move alternately from side to side,
while they occasionally stop and turn
around. Careful persons lift their feet
high and place them down fat and firm.
Sometimes they stoop down, pick up some
little obstruction and quietly place it by
the side of the way. Calculating persons
generally walk with their hands in their
pockets, and their heads slightly inclined.
Modest persons generally step softly, for
fear Of being observed. T,mid persons
often step off from sidewalk, on meeting
another, and always go around stose in.
stead Of stepping over it. Wide awake
persons "tee OUT" and have long swing
to their arms, while their hands shake
about miscellaneously. Careless persons
are forever stubbing their toes. Lazy per.

on the other. Very strong minded per.

/
Our present member Of Congress is well
known to he (although at the same time
he is quite . ladies' man) one of the
plainest and most hsmespun dressed mem.
bers of our northern States, and although
not celebrated for his extraordinary per-
sonal beauty, yet celebrated for his ster
ling and enterprising spirit, and, by his
mild manners, exerting an electrical
influence over the male and female sex,
lately determined to take q trip to Iowa
City on public business. As he never
dressed up, even when in ladies company
neither does he dress up when he goes
abroad, and if people don't find him out,
he makes no endeavors to find them out,
and in the language Of Banks, one of his
great political "gods,' be "lets 'em slide. -
But to the story. When he got to Daven-
port he was recognized by one Of the main
officers, who at once said to the Board,
"He is the member of Congress from the
northern district, and as good stroke of
policy, We should give him . free pass

"Well, how much is it, anyhow ?" and
pulled out his pocket book.
The conductor told him, and the neces
sary pewter was handed over, and he
said,
swell, now, l have great notion to put
you Oft the cars, anyhow. Do you think
that any decent looking man would take
you for member Of Congress ?'
The congressman sat dumbfounded, and
did not recover his thoughts till he saw
another Hon.. when hs asked him.

In the town of Nj, Lewis County,
resided, several years ago, worthy old
gentleman. With his son and daughter in-
law. The latter being Of querulous dis
position, was always complaining of her
hard lot, and expressing her determination
to commit suicide as the earliest tavora-
BILE opportunity. One day, when the hus.
band had gone ''to mill" she called Der ia
ther>in law to see her commit the act of
self-destruction. The old gentleman put
OF his coat aud accompanied her to the riv,
er's bank and cooly waited for her to
Jump in." This was rather a damper to
the lady; but, at last she bid him good
by" and was about to plunge in, when the
old gentleman cried out to her, saying
"Not there, not there it amt deep
enough here's better placer'
The coolness of the old gentleman
knocked the romance of the thing out Of
the daughters mind: she gave up her in.
tention, and returned to her home and her
duties quite reformed.

The Yankee and the Dutc I'M ans Dog

Abner was quiet, pescesble sort Of a
Yankee who lived on the same farm on
which his fathers had lived before him, and
was generally considered a pretty cute sor,
Of : fellow; always ready with . trick, whom
ever it was Of the least utility, yet when he
did play any Of his tricks, twas done in
such an innocent manner, that his victim
could do no better than take it oil in good
part.
Now it happened that one of Abner' 8
neighbors sold farm to tolerable green
specimen of Dutchman--one of the real
unintelligent, stupid sort.
Won Vlom Sehlopsh had dog, as Dutch
men often have, who was less unintelligent
than his master, and who had since leay-
ing his ''fader lant," become sufficiently
civilized not only to appropriate the soil as
common stock, but had progressed so far
in the good work as to obtain his dinners
from various sheepfolds on the same prin-
ciple.
When Abner discovered this propensity
in the canine department Of the Dutch
mans family, he called over to his new
neighbor's to enter complaint, which mis-
sion he accomplished in the most natural
manner in the world.
"Wal, Won, your dogs been killing my
sheep"
"Ya-dat ish bad-he ish ven goot dog
-ya-dat ish very bad.'
"Sartin it's bad, and you'll have to stop
him."
"Ya-dat ish alias goot--but ich weist
nicht ?"
"What's dat you say, he was nicked?'-
Wal, now look here, old feller, nickin's no
use-crop him-cut the tail close Off
chock up to the trunk-that'll cure him"
''Vat is dat?' exclaimed the Dutchman.
while faint ray of intelligence crept over
his features. "Ya. dat ish goot-- dat cure
Won sheep steal, eh?"
"Sartain it will--he'll never touch sheep
meat again in this woIld."
"Then come nit me-he Won nifty good
dog. all the way from Yarmany; ! not take
one five dollar-but come nit me and hold
his tail. Ich chop him Off"
"Sartain, III hold his tail if you want to
but you must cut it up close"
"la, dat ish right. lch make him Won
goot dog. There. Bitten. ONE right here
you Won sheep steal rashkul, l chop your
tail in one two pieces"
The dog obeyed the summons, and the
master tied his feet fore and aft, for fear of
accident and placing the tail it the Yam,
kee's hand, requested to lay it across a
large block of wood.
Chock up said Abner, as he drew the
hut of the tail close over the log ---
"Ya, dat ish right. Now you Won dam
tief sheep, | learns you better luck,' and
he raised the axe.
1t descended, and us it did so, Abner,
with characteristic presence of mind, bro't
Blitzen's neck over the log, and the head
rolled over the other side.
"Wal swow,' said Abner with appar>
ent astonishment, as he dropped the head
less trunk Of the dog, ''tha: was a leete too
close
"Mine Cot ~ exclaimed the Dutchman.
