JOHN q. SAKE

J0HN q. SAKE
at a lecture of John G. SAKE, in Terre Haute,
Ind, a prominent gentleman of that place intro,
,duced him, much to the poets surprise and that
Of the audience, in. the following neat and ap.
propriate lines: 80
Good people, we=are met tonight
Motto behold some raree sight,
To gaze on. elephant or bear,
Though, snTe eroNgh, lions herel
Who is. and all The world doth know it,
a genuine live Yankee poet.
He comes with rich and 5racy rhylning,
With sparkling Nit and wisdom Ginning,
To tellus of the Yankee nation,
Whose fame extends DER all creation;
How Jonathan at homo is bred;
How, ere he leaves the parent shed,
He visits in pursuit of knowledge
The country school-the farmers college;
Ofpennies how be never lost one,
Except when he went down to Boston,"
Where lack Of dinner turned his head,
And-smacki they went-for gingerbread
And how he plods through weary miles,
Inquest of tickle fortunes smiles;
Hires out to work by month or day,
At chopping wood or making hay;
And while the farmers grass he's moving,
To kill two birds, his daughters wooing;
And how, when Cupid's 6lunted dart,
Rebounding from the fair ones heart;
How, when she frowns with sorrow smitten,
He meekly takes the profered rnitten;
But knowing no such word as fall
When evening spreads her dusky veil,
Beneath the woodbines clustering shade,
He plies anew the blushing maid;
She yieIds-and OIL surpernal bliSsl
He seals the contract with kiss;
Says to the Squire, I've got notion,
fyou'll set off your daughters portion,
To addmy wages to the pelf
And goto keepin' house myself"
How. Jonathan with patient toll
Cleans fairness from his sterile soil;
Digs granite from New England hills
To build her towers and cottonmillS;
Or, from the land that gave him birth,
He wanders DER this little earth;
Explores the sea with venturouS sail
In the Pacific strikes thewhale--
From China brings the fragrant tea,
Gunpowder, souchong and bohea;
Sets up tavern at MatanZas;
Or plants colony III Kansas
On some grand speculation bent
He counts his profits Gent per cents"
Subscribes to schemes ofeducation,
To bless the rising generation;
Or to the missionary board
Gives freely of his prudent hoard,
And sends the Gospels Joyful sound
To gladden. earth's remotest bound.
And whore thy sons with lore profound
Their trophies reap on classic ground;
Where pious faith her altar rears,
Orjustice stern her poignard BEARS
Orwhere thy counsels guide the state,
There, there New England, thou art great
But yield, my muse, thy humble flight
: To one who scales the starry height,
As taper fame with feeble ray
pnlns in kion Iiohk nfr iS;n0 El0I,.
And while her bard with graphic story
DelineateS New England's glory,
Himself shall prove her higher claim
TOrecorl on the roll of fame,
In one high niche among the great,
Which for their coming tenents wait,
Amid the honored other land,
New England's bard, her SAKE, shall stand.
Ny task is done-and nothing lacks
But to present you, John G. Sake.

TIE Bones RisING.-As natural and in

expansion of skirts, the value of whaebonc is
greatly enhanced. Indeed to such an extent
has this article been employed in the manu-
facture of hooped skirts, that it has bccbme
too scarce and costly to he used in the con-
struction of umbrellas. Consequently that
useful and timc-honorcd article is very scarce
in the market at present During this show
cry season, it is probable that the reduced
stock on hand will be used up, and then, alas
for those who can neither buy or borrow Not
content with usurping the whole pavement,
occupying five chairs and Keeping carriage
for itself crinoline now threatens to crush the
the humble umbrella out of existence. Thus
the graceful pyramid will not only mark the
rcpose of beauty but enshrine the bones of
departed umbrellas. II the existence of both
is impossible if they cannot both "spread
themselves" each in its own sphere---if it
comes to that -eqmplexinnr-we must cvehsoft-

will not prefer r'the shelter of the umbrella to

An Incident on tho Cars.

Conductor Woodall, Of the Little Miami
Railroad, is one Of those dashing, generous
fellows, to whom raifT6A life is just suited.
He likes the daily mixing with the throng,
the constant changing Of faces and delights
to read the couuicnances as they pnss. II
there is anything peculiar in a passenger on
his train, Woodul will penetrate it, aud no
one is more rcudysif occasion require to ten
der - sympathiling word or helping hand,
\ few days ago a female, about sixteen
years Of age, got aboard of Woodalls train
going co.t, it.a village few miles north Of
Cincinnati. lie approached her to collect
fare.
How fararc You going p he asked.
TO New York was the reply
Il take you only as far as Columbus. The
fare is three dollars to that point
The girl opened her pocket book and took

Yes, sir, was the reply.
How do you expect to get to New York,

Indeed remarked the CONDUCTOR now
deeply interested in the girl. And may l
ask what is taking you to New York p

This story was told so candidly that the
conductor, who had watched the narrator
T closely. could not doubt its truth.

Then take your money back was his an.
swer, and he passed along.
