"rll hide me straight, and when my wife
And exc my neighbors know,
What's happened to my digging here,
They'll think that Pm below!
And so to save my precious life,
They'll dig the we'll, no doubt,
Ecn deeper than twas dug at first,
Before they find Inc out!"
And so he hid him in the barn
Through all the hungry day,
To bidc the digging Of his well
In this deccitful way.
But list what grief and shame befell
This false, ungratcful man,
The while he slyly watched to sec
The working of his plan;-
The neiehbors all with one accord
Unto each other said
With such a weight of earth above,
The man is surely dead
And then the wife, with pious care,
All needless cost to save,
Said" since the Lord hath willcd it so,
E'cn let it he his gravc!'

Come. listen; all while I relate =
What recently bciell
Unto farmer down in Maine,
While digging of well,
+. Fullmany yard he dug and delved,
And still he dug in vain;
(: =" Alatkf,rquoth he,, !" cen water seems
Prohibitedin Maine p
And still he dug and delved away,
Aud still the well was dry;
The only water to'be found .,
Vas in, the farmers eye;
: For BY the breaking of the bank
That iumbled from its station,
All sudtspIy his hope was dashed
OF fusufex .iaaidation &
. And now$his sands e,runnins fast.
And he had died no Doubt,
But tsat just When The well ,caved in,
He happened to be out

THE CouRr ON "PoKER."-A suit was re-
Gently brought before justice of the peace
in Yuba county, California, for the recovery
of sevente en- dollars, which y man had won
of another, or rather got possession of, by
"blufing," while he had four Jacks. The
Marysvlle Inquirer says the court '1et her
self loose" on the question, and held That
whore party coolly and deliberately bluff
ed" the holder of a small winning hand OF
his money, it might well be considered down
right robbery, and be punished as such; but
the court stated that while it would punish
the party who would be guilty of such
"bluffing,' it had no protection or mercy for
the man who, like the plaintiff in the case,
permitted himself to be ''blufed" with fours
in his hand! Such mau, in the opinion Of
the court. -sliond not Only lose his seventeen
dollar ''pot," but receive the jeers of every
good poker player in Yuba county.

No MoRE SWAMP LAEDs.-On Saturday
last, tie sale Of some seven hundred acres Of
swamp lands closed out the balance of the
one million of acres ordered to be sold by
the Legislature of 1855. The swamp lands
are now all taken up--absorbed mostly by
spectators, and they will reap harvest be-
tween this time and the next session Of the
Legislature, when more OF the same kind
NAV he ordered in market. This will not
interfere with preemptors on State Land, un-
der the act Of 1857. Lands which have
been in market over five years, and are not
liable to overflow from the Mississippi, Red
or Ouachita rivers, can still be had at the
graduation price of Is cents per acre; but
proof of the fact must be had on affidavit Of
two creditab.e persons, that they are not sub
ject to overflow by the streams above men
toned. The act of 81 does not allow one
person to enter in his own name more than
800 acres Of this class OF land.
