Sweet records, promises as sweet
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles
All nature smiled approval to the act; in the pure
gushing light of this brightest morning of May
wreathed with the first roses of the year. and wing
ed songsters warbling their choicest Spring time

FREE MEN.-"We have broken up ore ferry, as we
had right to do and we will establish another in
defiance of these gentlemen"
The above extract from the speech of Alderman
Freeman, made last Saturday evening at the Court
House, shows little Of the spirit which animates
that gentleman in the discharge of his official duties
With him, might makes right; and the breaking of
contracts together with the damages arising there
from. are such uay trifling matters as to be "of
no consequence at all.
We congratulate our citizens that we have one
Alderman who can say what he means. While
some of the Council cannot "shpeak VERY veil
Deutsch' and some cannot "sbpeak VERY veil
Enklish," this Alderman presents ahapPy contrast
of so,;1 inst ,chat he means in words fifty spoken.
Marx how exactly his language expresses the fact,
,'',se haze broken up," &c. The eve OF this auto
cratic speech NAV include the freebooters of the 76
We admit the fact that, for the present they have
sbroken up the ferry, and we make no doubt that
the Alderman has adopted as his motto while serv.
ing q in the Council, 'Dont obey orders and break
OaCners.
s'Spell it with 'we,' Sammy, spell it with a
'we.'"
This excellent advice of the senior Weller we
recommend to those Aldermen who talk so freely
about ewoting." "Spel it with a we" 1t is bad
enough to have such miserable legislation without
being called upon to listen to such violence to
mother tongue.
There can be no question that stranger listening
10 our City Fathers in session, would pronounce
them gerry common Council indeed.

The Landlords Joke.

Not far from the city of Montgomery,
in the State Of Alabama, on one of the old
stage roads running from that city, lived
jolly landlord 10y the name Of Ford In
far weather or foul, in hard times or soft,
Ford would have his joke. One bitter,
stormy night, or rather morning, two
hours before daybreak, he was aroused
from his sumbeIs by loud shouting and
knocks at his door lie turned out, but
sorely against his will, aud demanded
what was the matter 1t was dark as
tar, aud as he could see no one be cried
out, "~ho are you there ?"
.Burdcr aud Yancy and Elmore, from
Montgomery" was the answer, "on our
way to Tuscaloosa, to attend Court. We
are bcnighted, aud want to stay all night "

you, but that's impossible"

with fltigue-held brief ''consultation,
aud then, as they could do no better, and
were too tired to 60 another step, they
asked:
swell, can you stable our horses and
give US chairs and a good fire till morning.
40, yes; can do that, gentlemen"
Our learned and legal friends were soon
drying their wet clothes by a bright fire,
nnd composed themselves to pass the few
Remaining hours in their chairs, doing,
nodding, and now and then swearing a
word or two of impatlence, as they waited
until day light did appear.
The longest night has morning,and at
last the sun came along, aud then in due
time good breakfast made IFS appear
ancc but, to the surprise of the lawyers,
who thought the house was crowded with
guests, none but themselves sat down to
partake.
"Nhy, Ford, thought your house
was so full you couldn't give US a bed,
last night ?" said Burder.
al didn't say So, replied Ford.
"You didn't? What in the name Of
wonder, then, did you say7'
"You asked me to let you stay 'aN
niyhi,' aud | said that would be impossi
bic, for the night was nigh unto two.thirds
gone when you came. If you only want
ed beds, why on earth didn't yoo say so p
The lawyers had to give it up. Three

The preacher bad for his theme one day

how could you do it?" said bystander
"Why," said the Yankee, 81 would whip
one, and then | would take another, and
so would 60 along till l had whipped
the entire nation"
At the close of the sermon, Mr.. Spur
geon and several friends retired into a
vestry. Soon there came in a tall, lean:
ong-faced, solemn looking man, who
balled from the State of Maine. He pre-
sented to Mr.. Sturgeon letter of intro
duction, and was welcomed by the preach
er. Soon, Mr.. Spurgeon addressed the
