A Soldiers Dead Rodx.

AT the departure Of the Scott Legion
from Philadelphia recently, an immense
crowd Of people were at the depot to see
them Oh, and many Of the parting scenes
were very affecting. A tall, muscular
solaier, with an abundance Of red beard
about bic throat and chin, paused ut the
command OF order arms to lean upon his
musket. Directly q bluff, burly fellow
sAcrged from the crowd, and seeking out
the soldier with the red beard, shook his

The soldier leaned heavily against the
musket, and shut both eyes, speaking, at
the same time, 10 low, changed voice:

The following story is told Of a Yankee
captain and his mate Whatever there
was plum-pudding made by the captains
orders, all the plums were put into one
end Of it, and that placed next the captain,
who, after helping himself, passed il to the
mate, who never fOnud any Tlums in any
spart of it. After this game had been
played for some time. the mate prevailed
on the steward TO place the suet end next
TO the captain, who no sooner perceived the
alteration, than, picking up the dish, and
turning it round. as if to examine the
china, be said, "This cost me two shiliings
in Liverpool" and pat it down, as If with
out design, with the plum end next to him
self els it possible !" said the mate, tax
ing up the dish. 81 shouldn't suppose it
was worth more than shilling" and, as
If in perfect innocence. he put il down the
cnntrnry way. The captain looked at the
mate; TIE m1ts looked at the captain, and
boih laughed. ''Ill tell you Whist young
