Who Left That OK Yoke There

Don't know, sir, s'pose Jake"
Well that is the way with all my articles.
Now that OK yoke lays there to night in
the dew and rain; if wanted to use to-
morrow, when the time comes for yo-
king up in the morning. the bows will
be swollen, and ere they can be drawn
from the yoke and replaced, anger, and
of:en hard words are the consequence
A gain. if not wanted to- morrow, it LAYS
IN the sun, is cracked, checked and
sprung, until when it is wanted it is
found nearly useless. All this is easily
avoided by having the yoke regularly
put under cover at night, or when the
cattle are released from it. We never
saw thrifty, successful farmer yet, that
permitted his tools to lay" around loose"
a, tie vulgar phrase is, nor did we ever
visit rm or garden where every tool
was in its place, but we found the owner
successful in all his undertakings his
crops were good, and invariably he re-
ported profit from year to year.

Slavery in New Mexico.

1t is known to our readers that the
Territorial legislature of New Mexico
some time since enacted law for the
protection of slavery within that Terrific
~. 1t now turns out that the whole
scheme was concocted at Washington
City; that members of the Territorial
Legislature were induced by palpable
mlsrepresen TO vote for the law,
and that the great mass of the population
are IN entire ignorance that any such &C.
ton was contemplated. The matter was
brought about through the agency of A.
M. Jackson, Mr.. Buchanan's Secretary of
the Territory, and undoubtedly with the
knowledge and appreciation Of the Ad-
minlstration. Jackson was written to by
Mr.. Otero, the delegate in Congress from
that Territory, requesting him to prepare
bill for the protection of property in
slaves and "cause it to be passed by the
legislature" This request, Otero says,
in his letter, was made g at the solicita-
ton OF Gen. Reuben Davis" member of
Congress from Mississippi. The letter
goes on TO say, that the writer is aware
that slavery is established in all the Ter
riories by virtue Of !" the laws of the
United States, the Constitution, and the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
bred Scott CASE" nevertheless it is
thought best to have law for its protec-
ton enacted by The Territorial Legisla-
ture.
Jackson, in obedience to his orders
from Washington, " caused such law TO
be passed" Members Of the Legislature
were assured that its sole object was to
protect Southerners in their slave proper
ty passing through the 7erritory-that
without such law the Pacific Railroad
would give the Territory wide berth,
and that its future Prosperity turned up
on it. By such misrepresentation as
these, the bill was put through, and sla-
very is now one of the institutions of
New Mexico. A Santa Fe correspo nd
emit OF the Missouri Democrat says the
law has not been published in the L erri-
tory, that at least four ffths of the popu-
Ia'lon are in utter ignorance of its pas
sage. and that of those who are cogniz-
ant of the fact, but few can be made to
believe that it has any bearing whatever
on the Territory. Such is Democratic
Popular Sovereignty ! Chicago Tribune.

Thrilling accounts are given in the
Marysville papers of the chase of two
loryers oy an enraged third party 1.-THE
pdrient) who, as we take up the story,
was following them across the Yuba river:
Augustus saw the fury depicted in
the old mans face. and deeming dlscre-
ton the better part of valor, made dead
halt in the road, and concluded to sur
render. Maria was frantic, leaped sud-
denly from her horse, and walking around
through mud three feet deep, she gath
cred her husband by the legs and drag
ged him to the ground. Then grasping
him tightly around the neck, she shout,
ed to her father, who was now in sneak
ing distance" You shan't part US
Right here up to our knees in mud, we
will love and die together !! -
The old man started back in amaze
ment.
Yes, answered the half used up
Augustus, "we'll die right here in the
mud"
But Maria-my child ''-eroaned
the old man, are you not my daughter
slill?"
Yes, F." was the reply, "and l am
his wife, too. :"
And are you married ?"
We are, I" exclaimed both.
The old man looked daggers for mo-
ment. closely scrutinized the couple as
they clung to each other in the mud, and
turning his horses head towards the CT
~, he started of, saying
That's all l wanted to know. You
can now get out of the mud and come
home. +"

Wemay safely say, that We6ster'S Dictionary,

followed by majority of American writer's so
far as our observation extends.--N. Carolina

Websters works appear to us at least as good

These alterations, (orthography) appear to us
not only reasonable, but also popular, when we
are told that ten million school books are annu-
ally published in the United States, compiled by
authors who recognize Webster as their stand
ard of photography. Too high praise
cannot be bestowed on the execution of the rood

is an advantage, because they could thus e

A Ludicrous Slip.

The Neosho (Missouri) Herald relates
the following amusing incident of pic
MIC party: Muggins, the ubiquitous
Muggins, attended picnic on Saturday
last. Well, Muggins was :" in clover .
the pic-nicers' assembled in beauti-
full grove short distance from town
what wi III dancing, singing, and spark
ing, the time passed off unnoticed, and
the shades of evening were fast approach
ing, when it was agreed to wind up
by kissing round-Muggins to begin
the good work. Now, il happened that
Sue L., a beautiful, bright-eyed, no
sy checked lass, was at the extreme end
from where the kissing commenced, but
getting impatient, not only to start for
home, but also to receive her share of the
" busses," she clapped her hands, ex-
claiming. " Boys, Kiss tile girls at both
ends - The boys yelled right out, the
girls giggled, poor Sue blushed all over
said she didn't mean that" and
Muggins fastened to our sanctum, and
confdentially informed us of Sues pro-
position. After explaining to the igno-
rant rascal that Sue meant to kiss them
at each end Of the row, and nowhere
else, we ordered our devil to kick him
out, and forbid him ever again TO enter
our presence.
