an OLD JOKE YERSIFIED.

In a far Western town-so they tell me the tale
A shanty served both for stable and Jail.
The judge Of the courts was a man without guile,
Who carved up his justice in pretty good style,
The fact notwithstanding, which can't be denied,
That he had tile misfortune of being cross,eyed.
In certain tough case he was charging the jury,
And working himself into eloquent fury,
When voice in rough and boisterous strain,
Shouted, AGO it old gimlet eyes hit him again !"
Who was that 2? roared the judge, rather nettled no
doubt.
/" Twas me, hoss," the culprt himself bawled out.
The judge struck his fist on the judicial table;

RAILROAD DIsAsrER-This morning, as the pas
senger train on the Muscogee Railroad was coming
engine ran off the track, killing the white fireman
(whose name we have not learned) and negro
woodman, also breaking the jaw-bone and leg of
Mr.. George Smith, the engineer. Mr.. Smith had
formerly had leg fractured while running the same
engine. The passenger cars we learn, were not
thrown from the track. The accident is said to have
been caused by the sinking down of the track prob.
ably by the washing and undermining of the heavy
rains last night. This lamentabe accident delayed
for time the delivery of the Eastern mail at this
office this morning. columbus Enquirer, 3lst

disaster which occurred the same morning, on the
same road, about sixteen miles from the city, many

II Is gem that hath the power TO show
If plighted lovers keep their faith or 10.
II faithful, it is like the leaves Of spring;
Iffaithless, like those leaves when whitening.
Take back again your emerald gem,
There is no color in the stone;
1t might have graced diadem,
Bat now its hue and light are gone.
Take back your gift and give me mine
The kiss that sealed our last love VOW;
All other lips were pressed by thine
My kiss is lost and snllied now.
The gem is pale, the gift forgot,
And, more than either you are changed !;
But my true love has altered not;
My heart is broken-not estranged.

And in the stiffness of the night,
Bright thoughts that end in dreams as bright,

Our attention has been called by citizens Of this

in reference to the concerts being given In tbs

It is stated by the Sum- that the leader and principal
arisfe OF this company, gave, during the Kansas
element in the North, one or more beneftsr for the
aid of the reesoiers in Kansas. We are glad to eco
that our esteemed contemporary has been thus vigi-
liant in exposing the direct abolition anities Of men
who thus presume to demand patronage at the hands
OF Southern people. We do not assert that the facts
stated BY the sun are true, but we see no reason
doubt them and the statements Of 80 reliable or-
nal must be entitled to- and will doubtless receive due
credit.
In our opinion, it behooves Mr.. Strakosc6, before
ever applying for license at the hands Of our City
Council, to offer reliable proofs Of the erroneous ma
ture of the article in the Sum- If it be erroneous
which We have no reason to believe, the concert
troupe has been unusty treated OF the hands Of
contemporary, who will doubtless be eager to mako
due repatriation. If, however, the statement be truer
we think that our esteemed and energetic City Cow
eminent will have good reason for refusing the con-
freres OF Gerrit Smith and Henry Ward Beeches -
