A CHEAP GUN.-lf the maxim 'the Aest
is the cheapest" is true OF any one thing
more than another, that one thing, we are
inclined to think, is gun. Of ali abon ma,
BILE dangerous things cheap gan is the
worst, and were we, as foreman Of Grand
Jury, to hear Of nan being killed by the
bursting of fve-dollar gan, we shou Id be
strongly disposed to indite the ender Of the
weapon for nanslaughter. 1t is true,
we should not much regret the loss of the
man who Would buy such an article, but
some valuable life might become the sacri-
fee.
But what's worse of ali, is for parent to
purchase cheap gun for his son, or to per-
init him to purchase it ''to learn to shoot"
and issprprising that any parent should 90
triEe with the life of his child, fer it is moth
ing else. We heard, day or two ago, Of
an accident which had nearly proved fatal
happening to lad by the bursting of four
dollar gun with which be was shooting birds,
The barrel burst length wise, from one eud to
the other, and the lock struck him in the
forehead, tearing the scalp almost entirely
from his head, and laying him sepseless and
quivering on the ground. His compa lion,
brave little fellow Of thirteen years oiG,
ran to the pearost water. lied bis hat from
it, and repeatedly spripkting it into the
wounded boy's face, restored bin to con
sciousness and assisted lin home, first tax
ing the precautIon l" discharge Lis cwn gun
lest some further accident might tappen.-
We trust We may DeSer have to record cb
another occurrence.

The TURF.-A scrub race was gotten up at
Deep Greek yesterday between horse from
North Carolina and one from Virginia.
They had never trotted in race BEFORE and
when we take this fact, and the more remar-
kable one, that they had been in training
only fortnight into, consideration, we may
safely assert that it was the best time on re-
cord. The distance run was from Deep
Greek to South Mills an back, making for
ty-two miles. The horses in single harness
carried eighty-five pound sulkies with heavy
drivers, and started at FIVE minutes past s,
A. M.
( Major VIM. Collins, entered the Virginia
horse, eight years old.
David McLindsey, Esq, entered the North
Carolina horse, eight years old; each gen
tleman handling his own ribbons.
At the word, they both got off at fair
pace, passed up tie tow-path side by side,
crossed the South Mills bridge, turned hub
to hub, and started on the back track, which
they kept hip and thigh for ten more miles,
when the Major, finding that his nag was
likely to loose the race, held him in, and
took it leisurely for the remainder of the
race. The North Carolina horse however,
was not held ia, but came dashing in, and
made the Judges Stand at two minutes past
eleven, A. M, having accomplished the
whole distance in three hours and too m IN
,,tes. In eighteen minutes more the MAJOR
drove quietly up, acknowledging that he had
been beaten. ..
We understand that the race was for
purse of $3.50; and besides this, the betting
was spirited, each State betting on its own
horse, without o Ids. Neither Of these hor-
ses had ever run race before, and when we
remember that they had averaged each mile
in four minutes, twenty seconds, and this for
forty 'two consecutive miles we may even
challenge Flora Temple.
The tow path of the Dismal Swamp is in
some places livery sandy and exceedingly
heavy, but such is the bottom of these two
hitherto obscure horses that they came back
to the starting point very little distressed
and moved off for Norfolk as b ithely and as
supple as tho they had only rua a nile.-
We propose that both these horses be entered
at the Fair of the Seaboard Agricultural So.
ciety, and that the Major-who handle the
ribbons beautifully-and Mr. McLinds I who
is also most excellent "whip," be Induced
to give us another trial of speed and bottom.

The dangerous waistcoat, called by cockney vest,"
The things named ''pants' in certain documents,

One single srecept might the whole condcnse:
Be sure your tailor Is man Of sense:
But add a little care, decent pride,
And always err upon the sober side.
Three pairs Of boots pair OF foot dcnuahdr,

Long, narrow, light the Gallo boot OF love,
kind OF cross between a boot and glove,
But not to tread on everlasting thorns
Aud sow in suffering what is reaped in corns,
Compact, but easy, strong substantial, square,
Let native art compile the medium pair
The third remains, and let your tasteful skill
Here show some relics OF affection still;
Let no stiff cowhide, reskng from the tau,
No rough caoutchouc, no deformed hrogan,
Disgrace the tapering outline Of your feet
Though yellow torrents gursle through the street
But the patched calfskin against the food
In neat, light shoes, impervious to the mud.
Wear ssemly gloves not black, nor yet too light
And least Of all that once was white
Let the dead party where you told your loves
Bury in peace its dead bouquets and gloves;
Shave like the goat il so your fancy bids,
But be parent, ,-don't neglect your kids.
Have good hat the secret Of your looks
Lives with the beaver in Canadian brooks;
Virtue may flourish in old cravat,
But man and nature scorn the shocking hat.
Does beauty slight you from her gay abodss!
Like bright Apollo yoa must take to Rhoades,
Mount the new eastor,-ice itselfw will melt
Boots gloves may fail the hat is always fslti
De shy ofbreastpins; plain, well-ironed white,
With small pearl buttons, s,--twoin in sight,
Is always genuine, while your gems may pass,
Though real diamonds, for isuIble glass.

That round his breast the shabby rustic ties
Breathe not the name, profaned to hallow things
The indignant laundress blushes when she bring!

'IKE,s PEAK ON THE OTHER SIDE
BY MRS. JONES',
Far, far to the south, and away to she west,
Where lofty peaks, rear a hsaven.ward crest,
Great discoveries of late have beca made,
Which throw Eldcrado completely in shade;
Aud the men are all wild, their fortunes to seek,
In the golden sands Of that wonderful creek
Have you heard the news direct from the Peak!
Is the first salutation you hear in the street,
And they dream by night and build castles by da,
OF treasure so precious, in the mines far away.
Alas! for the fever that SO fearfully RACES,
Will take all the males in incipient stages,
Always provided, they can muster the dimes,
Which is impossible, so hard are the times!
Zen matrons dear souls, their scandal give Ger
Prsmulsatc che fashions, and gossip no more,
And have quite loft of the boring our ears,
With astonishing heats Of their sweet little dears
They're doomed to be widows in sorrow to weep,
While husbands afar travel on to the "PeAk."
Fair maids bctrothed have lost their roses,
Tho salt tears flow adown their noses;
Now don't it exceed the venerable Harry,
That lovers no more entreat them to marryl
But of for the ''diggings' are bound to clope,
And leave them to pine, without the bright hope
That ere warm love. ha, time to grow cold,
They III return again, with bushel Of gold.
To be sure they beguile them with promises lair,
or beautiful dresses, both costly and rare.
And sweet little bonnets with ribbons 50 fine,
When once they return from the gold cleaning min,
But this is all fancy, you are doubtless aware,
And should they return, it Is likelicr far
They II be weary and worn, with visages lorn,
And clothes on their backs all tattered and torn,
And gladden. the maids and widows bereft,
With gold in profusion, just over the left!
Nevertheless.
II I was an old bachelor, aud hadn't any wife
Nor children to love, and was sick Of my life,
Without money, or friends, or house, or store,
Neither land, reputation nor credit any more,
No longer I'd tarry for breezes bland,
But to-day set out for the golden land:
A soon as arrived I'd choose me . squaw,
And make her my own according to law!
I'D ''loaf" on the grass and pleasantly dream,
Or gently reclins in the shade at my ease,
Eating the fruit, if it fell from the trees;
Else for variation, I'd swing on q bough,
And eat no bread by the Sweat Of my brow"
Perhaps might fancy ON Eden once more,
Blooming anew on that dssolate shore,
And than q king might be happier too,
With "rocks' in my pockets and nothing to do!

She blossomed in the country,
Where sunny summer filings
Her rosy arms around the earth,
And brighter blessings brings;
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dover;
never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet . flower.
Far distant from the city,
Aud inland from the sea,
My lassie bloomed in goodness,
As pure as pure could be:
She cansht her dewy freshness
From hill and mountain bower,
I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained SO sweet flower.
The rainbow must have lent her
Some of its airy grace;
The wild rose parted with blush,
That nestled on her face;
The sunteams got entaDgled In
The long waves of her hair,
Or she had never grown to be
So modest and SO fair. ....
The early birds have taught her
Their joy ous matin song,
And some Of their soft innocence.
She's been with them 50 long;
