POLITICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.
ssDO You Think He Is Married.''
BY JOHN G. SAKE,

BY JOHN G. SAKE.
Madam-you are very pressing,
And 1 can't decline the task;
With the slightest gift of guessing,
You would hardly need to ask.
Don't you see hint of marriage
In his sober-sided face?
In his rather careless carriage
And extremely rapid pace?
If he's not committed treason,
Or some wicked action done,
Can you see the faintest reason
Why bachelor should run?
Why should he be in a furry?
But a loving wife to greet,
Is circumstance to hurry
The most dignifed of feet!
When afar the man has spied her,
If the grateful, happy elf
Does not haste to be beside her,
He must be beside himself!
1t is but trife, may be
But observe his practised tone,
When he Gains your stormy baby,
just as if it were his own!
Do you think certain meekness,
You have mentioned in his looks,
Is chronic optic weakness
That has come of reading books
Did you ever see his vision
Pecring underneath hood,
Save enough of recognition,
As civil person should?
Could a capuchin be colder
When he glances, as he must
At a f1nalu ro,,nJoJ cbo,,llor
Ora proudly swelling bust?
Madam-tllink of every feature,
Then deny it if you can
He's a fond connubial creature,
And Gerry married man!

n. P. WILLIS ON PERs1MMoNs.-"O
OF the first Of my Virginia experiences was
the very new sensation Of eating persim-
mon. By its frequent mention in negro
songs, this fruit has become classic, and [
was as interested in tasting it, as traveller
in Italy with his first pluck of ripe fig
1t resembles small apple, as seen hanging
upon the leaaess twi g; though the tree grows
taller and with more spready branches than
the apple tree. There were plenty Of them
in the fields, as we drove past the corn plan
tations in the open country, and our friend
and conductor kindly jumped over the rail
fence and brought me handful. What
this fruit can especially be intended for by
nature [ am little embarrassed to under
stand-possibly to close the gate after
enough has entered-for, of all the contrac-
tile agents, this seems to me the most puck
cry and unrelaxing. The mouth and lips
are drawn so obstinately together, by eating
persimmon, that it would be difficult to
follow it, even with 'a drink" though [
am not sure that all it's effects are so preven-
tive, as the traveller, for the next mile or
two after the taste of it, looks very much as
if getting ready for a kiss-a kiss, however,
of which till the lips relax, the secret is very
sure to be kept Now why would not
persimmon tree, Qet me ask Mr.. Gin brede,)
stamped upon note paper, or craven on
seal; be pretty hieroglyphic for secrecy?
And why would not a persinenaon KISS, ESQ
called from this sweet lesson Of Nature to
''kiss but never tell" be very handy
phrase for common usage ?-Honae Jour.
How He PROVED IA lover had been
offered kiss if he would prove his assertion
that locomotives are accustomed to che,o to-
6acco, as well as smoke out of their pipes
Giving his arms the proper gank,
To initiate an engine crank,
The motion forward first to show,
And then the backward motion too;
Eager to press the promised prize,
He puckered his lips and twinkled his eyes,
To smack her:
"Observe the sound
AS the crank comes round" 81
He archly said:
'sIt's choo-choo-choo,
To 60 ahead,
And choo-choo-
To bQcker"

Desperate Shoe kiAg!3

Or Saturday last, few houxs after our
papers had been distributed, while we
were busily engaged sticking type, editors
out west must work as well as write, J
a heavy footstep was heard on the steps
leading to our office, and, sans ceremonie,
a large man, fearfully excited, and armed
with "murderous" cane, rushed into
the Office, and in hoarse voice demanded
if the editor was in. We quietly informed
him that we were that individual, when
quick as thought-precluding oil posi-.
bility of our preventing the rash act--he
thrust his hand into the breast pocket OF
his coat, and drew forth heavily charged
pocket book, and paid for the Register
one year in advance. Without the least
hesitation, we entered his name OH our
subscription book, gave receipt for the
money, aud then went about our business.
Now. we candidly submit to all right
thinking men, and especially the "moral
sentiment in our community" whether we
did not act rs become man.
We are willing to be assaulted in like
manner again.

Important to Pre-. .mpt ors.

We call the attention Of our readers to
a letter in this paper from the Register Of
the Land Office at this place, conveying
the important information that settlers, or
those who may desire to settle upon the
even numbered sections within six miles
of tho lines Of Railroads that have received
grant Of lands from the Government,
have still! an opportunity TO become the
owners OF these valuable lands By pre-
emption. BY this means settlers secure
one years time in which to pay for tie
land /; and as Land Warrants, which it will
be seen are taken in payment, can be
bought for much less than the Govern
mept minimum price, the cost of the land
will be materially reduced.

DeclinattOM.

We are authorized by Judge MOORE to
announce that he has concluded to with.
draw from the canvass, and will not permit
his name to be used before the Convention,
soon to meet, in connection with the
Judgeship. The reason assigned by Judge
NJ. for this decision, is that the interests
of his private business will not admit Of
the loss of time which will be necessary to
devote to the canvass.
Knowing his uprightness and ability as
Judge, his worth as a man, and his
great popularity throughout the district,
we are sorry that Judge NJ. has come to
this conclusion. However, whatever may
be his position he will always receive the
respect and admiration due his merits.
