GOV. n. S. FOOTE,

The N. o. Crescent, a political
friend of Gen. Foote'S, gives the fol-
loving amusing yet true- description
Of this erratie gentleman:
A word or two in regard to Gov.
ernor or Genrral Henry S. Foote.
II. Stuart FoOte, II. S. Foote. (he
has used all these signatures) his
torlan Of Texas. author of the Mis-
slssippi "Gallon law" etc, may bot

in Mississippi, We understand, about
twenty-five years ago. He was then
a ranting, rearing, plupgiug, stnpen-
dous Wing. a few years afterwards
ne became a ranting, rearing, plum;
glng Democrat. A few years after
that be was elected Governor, Beating
JEFF. Davis ION the Union question,
in 1851, 999 votes. He wasn't re-
elected Senator, but Davis was. AZ
ter he had served his gubsrnatorial
term, he removed 20 California;
When KnOw-NOthingism expanded
in tbs Golden State, be became an

date for United States Senator.
He wasn't elected United States Sen
ator. a shors time after the hap
pening Of this remarkable event he
returned to .he valley of the Mis-

either in Tennessee or Mississippi.
According TO tie report Of bis speech
in the Memphis Enquirer. he is nog
a frst'rate, out-and-out Simon-pure
Democrat, although opposed to the
Administration of President Bueh-
anan. Here in a few words, is a

| Knew She WnuId.


Deacon w. was a staid and homes
Baptist deacon in one Of the interior
towns in this State, who had 6
vein of dry, caustic humor in bis
composition The deacon had a boy
of some dozen summers, who was
somewhat inclined to be little ugly
when not under the parental eye
In school especially, John was a
source OF constant annoyance to the
teacher. One day the Mistress pun.
lshed him for some misdemeanor
and John went bone. crying, to en-
ter bis complaint, and told bis father
that the Mistress had whipped him.
What !! exclaimed the deacon e.
ievstiDg his eyebrows, been wbipbed?'
.'Y-a-s,' sobbed the boy. sAnd did
you let a woman whip you?' shouted
the old deacon. 'Y-a-s. | couldn't
help it, We'll, john, you little ras-
Cal, you go to school tomorrow, and
II Mlss--undertakes to whip We
agaiu,you jest pitch in;den't let a To-
man whip ye if ye can help it. Don't
take any stick to strike With, but
you may strike, scratch, bite. and
kick as mrch as ye're a mind 90
The next day the boy went to
school, and emboldened by the per.
mission given by bis Gatber,was soon
brought before the tribunal of viola
ted rules. The teacher undertook to
correct him, and he did as his father
had told him. The result was that
John got a most unmercifol trounc-
ing, and was thoroughly subdued.-
When he vent home. to his faith
er crying, We'll, dad, got an aw-
ful bad licking today 'What!' said
the old deacon, have you let that
woman whip ye again. Vas /
wblmpered John. 4 kicked her. and /
struck her, ard fit all | could, but !
she lammed me orfnl!y.' 'Ahal |
chuckled the humorous old deacon. !
you taraal little fool, l knew she !
would, and she'll give ycu a troune-
ing every time she undertakes it.

IN the future John began to have
some perception Of his fathers mo-
i've, and ever after was ssdder and
wiser boy.

Probably no truer analysis OF W0-
mans character has ever been given
than in the following, by Mrs. Ann
S. Stephens:
woman, woman! truly thou art a
miracle, Place her among flowers
foster her as tender plant, and che
Is thing of fancy, waywardness, and
folly-annoyed by dew drop, fret
led by the touch of butterfly s
wing, zephyrs are zoo rough, the
showers too heavy, and she is over
powered by the perfume of a rose
bud. But let real calamity come
rouse her affections --enkindle the
fires of her heart-and mark her then,
how her heart strengthens itself
how strong is her purpose. Place
her In the heat of battle--give her a
child, bird, anything that she loves;
or pities. to protect and see her as
in q relative instance, raising her
white arms as a shield, as her blood
crimsons her upturned forehead.
praying for life to protect the dark
places Of earth--awalen her energies
to action, and her breath becomes a
healpg--her presence a blessing
She disputes, inch by inch, the stalk
ing pestilence, when man, the strong
and brave, shrinks away pale and
frightened. Misfortune daunts her
not; she wears away life OF silent
endurance, and goes forward with less
timidity than to her bridal. In pros
perity she is bud full of imprisoned
odors, waiting but for the winds OF
adversely to scatter them abroad =
pure gold, valuable, but untried in
the furnace. Ia short, woman is a
miracle, mystery, the centre from
which radiates the great charm oil ex-
istence."

The Women of Poland.

There, girls do not jump from in
fancy to young ladyhood. They are
not sent from the cradle directly to
the parlor TO dress, sit still. and look
pretty. No they are treated as
children should be. During child
hood, which extends through a period
of several years, they are plainly and
loosely dressed, and allowed to run,
romp, and play in the open air
They take in sunshine as does the
flower. They are not loaded down,
girded about, and oppressed every
way with countless frills and supera-
5undant hcunces, so as to be admir-
ed for their much clothing. Nor are
they rendered delicate and dyspeptic
bv continual ssuiling with candies
and sweet cakes as are the majority
of American children. Plain, simple
food, free various exercise, and abun-
dance of sunshine during the whole
period Of childhood, are the secrets
of beauty in after life.

Story of a Dog.

We have good story for the
commencement of the season =
Tewes, wbo keeps a restaurant on
William Street, has large New
foundland dog, a finer specimen OF
bis kind than is ordinarily met with.
Among bis other wonderful marks
of Intelligence, we witnessed this q
day or two ago. A gentleman en-
tered the restaurant holding by a
cord a dog which served as a watch
on board ship. While in the
place, the gentleman suppose the
dog was safe, and released his hold
upon the string. The door was open
ed while the parties were in couver-
sation, and the dog made his escape.
Mr.. Tewes said to his Newfound-
land, "Go bring him back, sir" The
dog obeyed the mandate, and within
a block or two overlook the fugitive.
He first proceeded to give the object
of his charge slight reprlmand for
his delinquency, by means of a smart
shake or two, and then took the rope
in bis month to lead the dog back to
his master. Some holding back was
manifested, the string was dropped
and another shaking was administer
ed. Finally by alternate chastlse-
ments and pullings at the cord, the
runaway dog was brought into the
restaurant, and Newfoundland, with
SLY wink to his master, seemed to
say "there be is. The scene was
witnessed by many, and created no
little excitement. Taken all in all,
we think it is about as good a dog
story as usually finds its way into the
papers, and has the advantage o. be-
ing true, too.--N Y. News.

SHORT SERMoNs.--In letter to, a
lady in 177l, John Wesley thus
gave his opinion about the extent Of
religious services, and We think he
is more than half right:
If any, then, of the preachers
exceed their tine, (abont one hour
In the whole serviee) | hope you will
always put them in mind what is the
Methodist rule. People imagine the
longer the sermon is, the more good
it will do. This is grand mistake.

himself. And he does not need that
we should use many words.

Pleasant Dreams be Thine.

I Good night, and pleasant dreams be thine,
How oft, in accents soft and low,
When round us quiet moonbeams shine,
And night winds wander to and fro,
I We list from lips we love full well,
These words that charm is like spell!
Good night, aud pleasant dreams be thine;
Twas in the far off long ago.
When home, and much loved friends were

And joys that now Inev er know,
That first felt the myst ic might,
To cheer the heart, of this good night.
Good night, and pl easant dreams be thine;
Those words were, oh how sweetly said,
By her, whose love must ever twine
Around my soul, when am laid
In the col ground: All, then we'll meet
And know love is divinely sweet
Good night. and pleasant dreams be thine;
The simple words can only thrill
The heart round which affections twine,
And where there truly fingers still,
Some memories Of the hopes aud Joys,
That filled our hearts when we were boys.
Good night and pleasant dreams be thine:
Oh that throughout life's stormy way,
Some friend whore thoughts and loves are
mine,
May always at the close ofday,
Whisper with hope, this fond good night;
My dreams must be fair an1 bright
Good night, and pleasant dr. cams be thine,
And when through Deaths drear clouds l see
Life's latest starlight dimly shine,
Aye. when my soul is bursting free
From all Earth's cares, fain would hear
These words, from lips l love most dear.

She loves thee still; OH leave her not
To misery and woe;
She's loved thee long, and ne'er forgot
Vows spake so long ago.
She trusted thee through seasons long
And never dreamed of change,
And often sings thy favorite song;
O!why thy heart estrange?
Forgotten tits so hard to feel
All this word implies,
When memories fond across us stoal,
And hope within us dies.
O!leave her not! she clings to thee,
And trusts thy promise sweet,
And faithful thou should'st ever be--
Then hasten her to meet.
The world may never hold for thee,
Again, so great prize;
First love, so guilcless, from doubts free,
And free from all disguise.
Far happier she will make thy home,
Than wealth or beauty rare
Then cease thy yearning heart to roam
For other maids more fair.
Add not another to the list
OF maids who've loved in vain;
Look where thou wilt, there's none, wist
Will love so well again.
She loves thee still; oh! teach her not
That lesson wor ld-renowned
But few escape--'tis woman's lot,
While false hearts so abound.

A TALE OF TAILs.-We see, from

mode upon the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Of ticketing passengers.-
The company at this time are carry
ing over the road a large number oi
hogs, for the safe delivery of which
the conductors are held responsible.
The conductor at the depot where
the hogs are received on board the
cars, cuts off each hogs tail and care
fully keeps them until he arrives at
the place of destination, where tie
agent comes cut, and, as each hog
makes its exit, calls out ''hog," In
answer to which the conductor says
"tail," and, of course, il the number
Of hogs and tails correspond, it is all
right. 1t is certainly a convenient
