OUR FOREMOTHERS.

Some good-natured wag, jealous for the honor of womanhood, has given utterance to the following tribute to his ancestors on the female side. It is we'll done, and we'll worth the reading
 "We hear enough about our forefathers They were nice old fellows, no doubt. Good to work, eat or fight Very we'll But where are their companions--the "chums' -who, as their helpmates, urged them along? Who worked and delved for our forefathers, brushed up their old clothes, and patched their brooches Who almost in- volved themselves for the cause of liberty ? Who nursed our forefathers when sick--sang Yankee Doodle to their babies-who trained up their boys? Our foremothers.
 Who landed at James River, and came over in the Mayfower, and established the other early settlements Were there any women among them? One would think not Our Yankee neighbors, especially, make a wonderful talk about the Pilgrim Fathers who squatted on Plymouth Rock, there is a great ado made over it every time they wish to get up little enthusiasm on liberty, and refresh themselves by growing over freedom; and the chivalry of Virginia are not whit behind them, when they take notion to vauut themseIves upou the glory and great ness of the Old Dominion aud our staid Pennsylvania Quukers, too, like to plume | themselves slyly upon the merits and doings of William Penn and his associates but | with all the blarncy" so plentifully distri buted on all sides what do we hear or gath CT about the foremothers Didn't they land on rock too <? Didn't they encounter pers md hardships /? And, after all didu't they, with their kind hearts, sustain the | Tagging spirits of their male companions Who ushered us into this world--oul forefathers ? Bah No, indeed, it was our foremothers Who nursed G George Wash ington, Anthony Wayne. Ben Franklin, Is rael Putnam, and d host of other worthies whose names will live forever, and taught them to be men and patriots Didn't our foremothers And who gives them the credit they deserve Not one.
 "We have our monuments commemorating and our speeches, our songs, our toasts, aud our public dinners, celebrating the wonder ful deeds of our forefathers, but where are those in honor of our foremothers ? We had better be getting them ready. We talk ourselves hoarSe, and write ourselves round shouldered while boiling over with enthusi asm about the nice things our forefathers did, and yet nothing is said about our fore, mothers, to whom many virtuous act and brave deed may be ascrbed, such as any he. TO would be proud to own.
 We wish not to detract. All hail to the noble old men, our forefathers, Say we May the glory of their deeds never be less but the good Book tells to "render unto Cesar" etc, and we wish to speak word in season for women generally, and especial. y for our noble and selfsacrfcing foremoth. CTS, lest time and the one-sided page of his. tory shall blot them forever from our memo, ries"

* There is said to be an old farmer living ir Red River county, Texas, welIto-do in tho world and hospitable, but who had most inconceivable prejudice against Tennessee and Tennesseeans, and insomuch that he would not entertain man from that State
 His mode of ascertaining Tennessean is something like pro-slavery men in Kansas determining Yankee, by the pronunciation of the word "cow," the Yankee calling it keow." His word is calico, which he says the Tcnnesseans uniformly pronounce kaliker." A stanger rides up and proba- ply asks the- privilege of spending the night at his house. The old planter before all swering definitely, pulls out piece of cali co from his vest pocket, and showing it to the stranger, asks what he thinks of it. Why, that's kaliker, ain't it 2" he natural ly replies. Hang me, sir P shouts the old planter, "you're from Tennessee, sir; you can't stop here, you must ride on p

LOBSTER SToRY.-The following good thing was contributed to the KnicktrbOeksy
 Magazine, by the late c. M. Leupp:
 There was much surrounding cachination where this circumstance was mentioned the other evening A man who was 'somedele" fond of Holsters, was wistfully regarding Q basket of them in the market, with his dog by his side, while another bystander was sticking the end of his cane into one of the disengaged claws of big fellow at the top |" How he does hold on p said the man with the cane. Yes," responded the man with the dog, " but it's because he dents the cane. and his claws won't slip on the wood. But he couldn't hold on to a critter, or you or I. in that way. When he feels any thing giv- an,' lobster always stops pinchin." Guess a.ot," said the owner of the basket. "You put your dog's tail in that there claw, and you'll see whether he'll hold on or not" No sooner said than done. The lobster lover lifted up his dog, dropped his tail into the open claw, which closed instanter, and the dog "as- smit by sudden pain, "ran of howling at the top of his speed. "Hello l" exclaimed the owner, Whistle back your dog, d-n him he's runnn' off with my lobster l" Whistle back your lobster :" rejoined the other that dog aint comin' back that dog's in poin." I can't get him to come near me when he's in pain 1" That humane citizen dined that day upon as fine lobster as there was in that basket, "any. how"

 A STORY AS IS SroRY-We are not much given to sensation articles, but occa- sionally remarkable thing will come under our notice, and it would be sin to keep 1t from the public.
 We cannot vouch for the truth of the fol- lowing story, told us this morning by an old Sucker, but venture te say such things have been heard of before, Gin the Arabian Nights Entertainment) " It is just twenty years ago yesterday" said our narrator, that party of us fellers went over ito Cahokia Creek on skating match. The day was colder than ten icebergs all stuck together, but the ice was as smooth as glass, and we made up our minds to have heap of fun. Bill Berry was the leader of the crowd. He was tall six-footer, full of pluck, and the best skater in all creation. Give Bill Der. " good pair ofsskates, and smooth sailing, aud he could make the trip to Bafin's Bay and back in twenty-four hours, only stopping long enough at Halifax to take a drink We'll, we got to the creek and fastened our skates on and, after taking horn from Jo Turner's flask, started off ill good style, Bill Berry in the lead. As was tellin' ye, 1t was dogonned cold day, and so we had to skate fast to keep the blood up. There were little breath holes in the ice, and every now ard then we would come near going into lem skates got loose, and stopped to fas. ten lem. Just as I had finished buckling the straps heard a noise. looked up and saw something shooting along on the ice like lightnn.' It was Bill Berry's head. He had been goin' it like greased electricity, aud before he knew it, he went into one of them holes. The force Was so great as to cut his head off against the sharp corners of .he ice. |" It is all day with Bill Berry," said I. And all night too," said Joe Turner. Just as he got these words out of his mouth l looked at Bills head, which had been go. ing on the ice, and all to onct it dropped in- to another hole. We run to it, and l heard Bill Berry say, "for Gods sake, boys, pull me out v looked into the hole and there, as true as Im sinner, was Bill Berry's body. which had skooted along under the ice and met the head at the hole in the ice. It was so thunderin' cold that the head had froze fast to the body, and we pulled Billy out as good as new. He felt little numb at first, but after skating awhile he was as brisk as the rest of us, and laughed over the joke. We went home about dark, all satis- 6ed'with the days sport About o'clock in the evening, somebody knocked at my door, and said 1 was wanted over to Bill Berrys. l put on my coat aud went over. There lay Bil's body in one place and his head ill another. His wife said that after he came home from skating, he sat down by the fire to warm himself, and while attempting to blow his nose, he threw his head into the fireplace.
 The Coroner was called that night, and the verdict of the jury was that Bill Der. ry came to his death by skating too fast"

Immediately to Cambridge, where General
Washington had arrived and taken COM
mand OF the Revolutionary forces some weeks
previous. He related several interesting
anecdotes concerning the march of recruit.
The day after his arrival the battle of
Bunker Hill was fought. 1t was the first
time he had seen gunpowder fired in anger,
and he spoke fthe scene as being q terrible
one. "Oh!" he said, musingly, that was
bloody scene; it was terrible slaughter"
Subsequently he served through the several
campaigns of l775-77; was present at the
surrender of Burgoyne in l776-that event
which encouraged the Continental nations
of Europe to espouse the American cause
and did not retire from the army until 1850,
