them that curse you; do good to then
,hat hate you, and pray for them who
despitefully use you. and persecute you,"
&c.; and with the brief exordium, ''le
us pray" kneels and invokes in spirit
stirring language the blessings of the
Most High.
The prayer ends the night passes; th.
morning dswns and the glorious sun.
beams kiss lovingly once more the cold
bosom OF mother earth.
Solon Sly, Esq. is jogging along on his
winding way. his feet almost trailing op
fhe ground, and his small eyes twinklins
ike two gimlet holes above the foxy ap-
pendant to his chin.
The scene changes. Turn we our at.
tentiou to another part of the Territory.
The magic genius which presides over
and engineers the unfolding of our COM
plicated tale, gently sweeps aside the cur
tain of the past and reveals scene lit
tie anterior to the notable pony excursion
of Solon Sly, Esq.
We are led up one flight of stairs, and
ushered into small room where we
stand in the presence of several individu-
als-gentlemen, of course-who are very
husily discussing something which seems
to be of paramount importance, and their
manner Of conversation suggests the idea
hat the subject requires secrecy, for
hey converse in low, muffled voices
Still, by close attention, we may learn
'omcthing important, and gain some
knowledge of the subject which seems to
claim their particular and profound atten-
ton.
The meeting is not conducted accord
ing to the rules and customs of Legisla-
tive bodies; it partakes more of caucus
to concert measures for supporting party,
nr for the overthrow of one which is con-
sidered obnoxious to the public veal.
The first individual who sits there op-
posite to the door. by which we have
Just entered, is man above the medium
,tature; has sanguine, nervous tempera-
ment; quick, active, restless blue eyes
possessed ofgreat activity of mind as well
body, and isa ready writer, somewhat OF
speaker, is thought by many to be elo-
Iuent; but his elocution is, at times, so
hurried and jumbled together, that words
seem to be smashed and jammed out Of
heir native form and a sentence sounds
much like'the very earnest, emphatic, log
zeal, argumentative and unanswerable
,obble of a fully expanded turkey
,ock.
Some, even, wildly dream that he pos
sesses eminent military and diplomatic
.bility and that as statesman he ha:
few equals aud no superiors-position'
md assumptions which we are neither
prepared nor inclined to controvert. Ii
nay be that he is by birth a foreigner
nut on that account he is neither better
Tor worse, and we are not among thos'
who would withhold from him any cour
esy or privilege because he was not borr
in the land Of the free and the home o
he brave"
True, it may be misfortune to q mai
to be born at all {; or, it may bo misfor
une to Others, but no man, we think, anC
IN this point we solicit the favorable
Judgment of the reader-no man ought Il
cast reflections upon, and blame himsel
Tor being born.
Colonel Scribble, the person before us
is least of all inclined to do so, for b
moves with consciousness that he fills
place in the world which cannot be tilleC
by any other person-man, woman o
:hild.
That person there on the right Of tn
rsdoubtabls Colonel, and much his infe
rior in physical and mental endowment:
is, nevertheless, born to be man Of re
nowu. His name is Gun. There is eer
tainly a good deal of percussion abou
| him, and his explosive powers are tire
mendous. He speaks; there is q sligh
Yorkshire accent in his enunciation. bu
that is not important.
That man on the left Of the Colonel
he of the red face and frey eye, with
slight impediment in his speech-is Can
non. He is not whit behind his col
league Gun in all the elements Of precc
cious greatness, yet it is thought he
not so deeply involved in filtration wit
the muses.. Certainly in point of musci
and mental power, be is more like q car
non than he is like simple gun.
