Steam Poetry About Steam Boats.
By A PASSENGER.

A" Who ever heard Of comfort on boat?
IT'S most absurd of all .foat."
These words are from no very few:
How true they are, I'll leave to you.
On all boats ire have never been,
Hence so 10 speak, would be sin;
But, on the. Perry and the Kaie.
We've had pleasant time of late.
OF them We'll sing truthful song
To give what's due, cannot be wrong.
The sun was on his burnish'd throne,
When on the Kate we left our home
To see The sights Of city life,
And buy our bub dcggish knife.
Upon the deck stood Captain JoE-
Gesture and smile his kindness show;
To gentlemen, polite and bland,
For ladies', also, just the man.
NJ. HrLLARD did the Office fill,
And, as clerk, just fills the bill.
At night, we danc'd, and smok' d and slept
While fast our quiet home we left.
The moon upon the water broke,
All rufled by our rapid stroke;
Behind, before. were landscapes fine,
While en- each side rose peaks sublime.
IT'S noueht we'll say Of peak or view
That swiftly by our vision flew;
But on 10 see the city Queen,
DESTINED to greater things, ween,
While admiration heav'd the breast
OF those who deck'd The Hotrard's crest,
As, with her banner, proud on high,
And music on the breeze did fly,
She pass'd, in beauty-speed so great
That water, boat, and barge did shake.
or city life we soon were tired,
And love for home our bosom fired
Anon, amid the Perry's crew +
Der Mississippi waves we flew,
While waved both flag and handkerchief,
To tell Of joy and of grief.
In stature great, stood Captain DurcH,
A man Of weight-though graceful touch;
A man of heart and feelings warm
He's much penchant to keep from harm
All those who travel IN his care;
And fuss and fun: he's always there
The first, rebukes with all his might,
The latter sanctions with delight.
While LOGAN d. we find below,
His pleasant face his feelings show.
No short rebuff he ever gave,
Nor does he swear, or fume, or rave.
The Perry is a splendid craft,
or rapid motion, av'rage draft;
Her berths are neat, wide and airy,
Nice for man or woman fairy;
Her tables fill'd with luscious fare,
Prepaid with skill and double care.
When day has gone, with all its heat,
Then Taylor's Band the crowd doth treat
To music rich, That raises high
The mind, and browns the the rising sigh.
Now, would you have pleasant trip,
Then on the Kate or Perry ship.

II you want the worth of your money, go where
they want money. Avoid the credit stores as you
would snake in The grass. Pay Day will come,
and big interest and large profits will consume your
substance. We sellfor cash and therefore can and
will sell cheaper than any credit house can. The
item of interest alone will pay profit. This
alone answers the question so often asked u.s.
"How can you sell so cheap" Quick sales and
small profits oftca turned, viii pay better than

fine. and the display imposing The Peek National

Of the day, delivered appropriate address, giving
brief history OF the Arsenal of the State, together
with the contents OF the box which about 10 be
deposited as record OF the proceedings being trans
acted After the box was deposited the procession
took up the line of march TO the grove, where the
Grafton was delivered by John c. Booth, Esq.
The subject Of the Grafton was the Citizen Sol
der" whose career was eoquently traced through
the Roman conquests down TO the present day. and
closed with glowing tribute to the American sol
der and hero who was the last resort of the execu
tive when law and order failed TO protect the cit
zen or property. The Grafton throughout was an
eloquent production and worthy OF the occasion that
called IL forth. II was listened TO with breaihless
attention, and all seemed delighted with the fine
sentiment contained in many Of its passages.
Gen. Cook was next called ont and made short
address. Judge Mexican also addressed the audience
paving gallant compliment TO the Black Plumed
Rfemen OF saltwater. which was acknowledged
by fine air from the band which belonged TO that
company.
The speaking being over, fine repast was spread
in the grove, which was partaken of with will,
characteristic OF camp liie brilliant display of
"crinone graced the scene throughout, and added
not little to the magnitude and good feeling OF the
occasion.

We take the above from the Washington cor

on the part of the writer to hold Mr.. Buchanan

CHARACTER OF CHIEF JUSTICE
GIBSON.
[Erfraet from his eniogy Judge Gibson, p. io7.-
BY non. WH. A. PORTER.

Ezfeaet from his enlogy on Judge Gibson, p 1911
His manner of reaching his conclusions, and
writing his opinions was we'll known. il IS be-
iieved he took little part in The consultations Of
the'bench, communicating his views usually in
short, detached sentences, sometimes not at all,
bat when he did, hitting the exact point aud
dliIusing additional light on the principles in
question. When appointed TO deliver the opin-
icn, he generally made an examination Of the
authorities, and sometimes, il must be admitted,
too brief an examination. His habit was then
TO think chiefly without the aid Of his pen, and
out OF the reach Of books. IL did this in his
chamber, on the street, a. the table, sometimes
on The bench during the progress OF other eau
s-s and not unireqneuily in the public room Of
his hotel. Persons whoapProached him OH these
occasions, were struck with, and sometimes
offended at. his distracted and careless air.
To those who knew what he was doing, he
frequently complained Of his difficulty in de-
terminjng what principles 10 pitch the cause,
without mentioning II particularly. He did
all the labor of thought before he commenced
to write, and he never wrote until he was ready.
Before be began the very sentences were for
med in his mind. and when he assumed the pen,
he rarely laid il aside until the opinion had
been completed. The bold, beautiful, and leg-
Die character Of his handwriting, AMI its free
dom from eFaSure, induced those who read his
manuscript, to suppose that he Transcribed
them, bot this was very rarely, if ever done; he
had 100 little time, and too much horror Of he
pen to atlemp; it. Such method Of writ ing
undoubtedly possessed great advantages. 1t
gave his fine logical powers foil play. 1t con-
tributed to that condensation which forms one
of the distinctive FEATURES of his writings. Ii
enabled him to proceed with directGeSs right to
his concusion, and 10 make every thing point
to it from the first sentence to the last. No
repetition occurs. We see each idea bat ohce,
and need not count Oh seeing even the shadow
OF it, more than once. Having always some
thing 10 do ahead, the pen spent no more time OF
the thought in hand ;han was necessary tc
| complete it. He knew precisely where he wa:
| to end before beginning, and he avoided ali the
! difficulties Of those writers wh begin TO write
when they begin 10 think and sometimes before il
and who produce works resembling, for the mos
part, the patchwork emblazontd on the bes
| beds OF. German housekeeP"rs, and giving evI
dence not be mistaken, OF the exact places a
which they have been Joined, and of the di
verse and heterogeneous materials out OF which
they have been composed. The most casna
reader of Judge Gibson's opinions must hav'
observed how seldom be processes TO give any
history OF the decided cases, and how nvaria
bly, he puts the decision upon some leading
principle of the law; referring bat to lev
cases for the purposes Of illustration, or to show
