A GREAT COUNTRY.

The following is literal transcription Of letter
found on the road, and sent to by correspond
ent, who assures us it is genuine 1t appears to be
from some chap who has moved to Mississippi. He
says:
This is a great country! 1t has longer rivers
and more of them, and they are muddier, and deep
er, and run faster, make more noise, rise higher,
fall lower, and do more damage than anybody elses
rivers 1t has more lakes, and they are bigger,
and deeper, and clearer, than those of any other
country. Our rail are bigger, and run faster,
and pitch off the track ofener, and kill more peo-
pie, than all other railroad cars. Our steamboats,
carry bigger loads, are longer and broader, and
bust their bilers oftener and captains swear harder
than steamboat captains in any other country Our
men are bigger, and longer, and thicker, can fight
harder and faster, and drink more mean whiskey,
and chew more bad tobacco, and not be killed, can
spit more more and spit further than the men in
any other country. Our ladies are richer, pretter,
dress finer, spend more money, break more hearts,
wear bigger hoops, shorter dresses and kick up
the devil generally to a greater extent than the
ladies of any other country Our nggers are black
err, work harder, have thicker skulls, smell louder,
and need thrashing oftener, than the niggers in
any other State. Our children squall louder, grow
faster, and get too extensive for their pantaloons
quicker than the children in any other country.
Well, this is great country. Hang man that
won't praise his own country. l have written you
all the news Yours till DEATH

MARRYING UNDER DIFFICULTIEs.-A couple
were married in Gallatin, Tennessee, on Monday
last, who had walked one hundred miles for that
purpose. They were from Kentucky, and when
they arrived at Gallatin were out of money and
perfectly destitute, not having cent to pay for
their license The magistrate married them gratis,
and the young men of Gallatin gave them
sufficient sum to pay their expenses home.

FORGET ME NOT.

All no, I'll not forget thee,
Though we are doomed to part;
But often will regret thee,
And miss thy loving heart.
And as the sun is sinking
At eve into the west,
| often shall be thinking
Of her / love the best.
And as the stars at even
Come glist'ning to my sight,
I'll kneel and pray to Heaven
To guard thee, love, tonight.
Oh think not I'll forget thee,
1t were not easy done;
I'll love no other but thee,
Thou art the only one.

A PARTING ODE.

Like evening shadows creeping
Across the summer sky,
Come to our young hearts weeping
The last, the fond good bye.
We list its tones in sadness
While stealing on the ear:
We know that hours of gladness
With them will disappear.
As DER the sea wave dances
The SUMS bright golden rays,
Hath all that life enhances
Illumcd our youthful days;
Then ever, from the future,
A fearful sigh we'll give,
For those whose kindly nurture
Has made it sweet to live.

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.

When DR.. Hutton was Bishop of Durham. Gas
told by his biographer) and as he was travel
ling over Dam, Wenscydae and [ngleton, he sud-
denly dsmounted; and, having delivered his horse
TO u servant, walked to a particular place at some
distance from the highway, where he kneeled down
and continued some time in prayer. On his return
one Of his attendants took the liberty of inquiring
what was his masters motive for singular act;
in answer to which the Bishop informed him that
when he was poorboy, without shoes or stockings
traversing this cold and bleak mountain frosty
day, he remembered that he had disturbed red
cow then lying at that identical place, in order to
warm his feet and legs the spot.
The above anecdote, which so beautifully and
touchingly illustrates the character of the worthy
Bishop, is taken from Whittakers "History of
Richmondshire."
Does it not teach us two things? First: That we
ought never to be ashamed Of poor parents, and
the mean and lowy circumstances Of our early
days 1t is much greater honor, to any man, to
have raised himself by his knowledge, his industry
and his goodness to the highest position in society,"
than if he had Inherited such position merley by
the accident of his birth fortune.
Secondly: That when any little incident occurs
TO remind Of the lowliness or privatiOns Of our
former life VIC ought to make use of it as an outlet
for our gratitude to God, and motive for re-
ncTcd dcvotcdncss to Ills will and service, who
.'raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth
up the beggar from the dunghill," that He may
''sct them among the princes of his people"
