TE FLIGHT OF YE R4YL-SPLIT7ER

A BALLAD. | Of all ye flights that ever were flown. by several persons, or one alone Ot Science, or Dr. Franklins kite: VI Mlnclo Raymond, away from the fipht: Or the night of Professor Lowe's balloon,
 From here to England, one day at noon:
 The funniest flight-of the dreariest bore
 Was Abrahams flight through Baltimore!
 Weary and worn, like haunted moose
 Limbs like the windmill, hanging loose
 Quaking at heart, and fighty at head,
 The old Rail-Splitter-he went to he'd
 But scarcely in his blankets enveloped was he.
 When he cried, '' 1 am struck with bright idee Procure me hither-and don't be long
 hot rum toddy, and make it strongl'
 Now, various dreams are like to come
 From brimming beaker of good old rum; And some of them too, are just as bad
 As any that Tam O'Shanter had
 And so, when Abraham laid him down,
 To dream of doing the Southerners brown, It chanced that phantasy bloody and grim, Came sailing over, and lit on him
 Dead men tossed about like stones,
 Broken bridges, blood and bones,
 Grinning deaths heads such as grace
 Every antique burial-place;
 Daggers, pistols, bludgcons, guns, Thundcr-showers of rcd-hot buns; These he saw or seemed to see, All because of the Upright idee.' Then suddenly, in from the murky night, There came a messenger, wild with fright, And he cried to Abraham, where he lay, ''Get up old fellow, and hurry awayn' So the dismal phantoms of sleep gave place To very practical view of the case; And the Rail-Splitter said, as he looked at him
 ''John,
 Just wait till get my trowsers on" So he swore an oath, by the Kingdom Come, That Satan was in that glass of rum And he said, May never split rails again, If don't run off by special train, ,' Then, shrouded closely, up to theeyes, With a cloak and Scottish cap likewise, He left his people dissolved in brine, And ran away, as the clock struck ninei Swiftly along the Central Road Went the fiery horse with his precious load And at every snort he seemed to say, '''Tis Western gentleman, running away, The greatest hegira under the sun See if it isn't glorious run!' Thus honest Abraham, safe and sound Stood at last on the Capital ground! An, very noble it seems to be, This modern standard of chiyalryi And very noble and very grand Is the chiefest magnate in the land. Abraham Lincoln, stalwart and tall, Who ran away, quaking from nothing at all The z Honest Uncle" in sixty-one Who skulked in the night to Washington.

For The Constitutional Union. THE LOVE OF GOD.

When tossed on life's dark turbid waves, Where hope decays and prospects fade, How sweet thingshe charming melody Of great Jehovah's love is made. How gloomy would this voyage appear When loved ones die, and friends prove false Without Our weary, sick and fainting hearts. How hard to bear the bitter ills Of life's tempestuous sea, The stormy blasts and wintry winds, Without hope of God in thee. But when VIC their love possess, There's naught disturbs us here; It comforts when in deep distress, And through every pathway drcar. This love can never be portrayed By human pen or tongue. In every heart of every grade, Let this great love resound. This love will bear the Christian OCT The rugged sea of life, And land them safe on wonder shore, Where all is peace and calm delight. That love will them their souls expand, And every praise inspire; And in that bright and happy land That love will tune their every Tyre.

A FRENcHwoMAN NOT DECEIVED BY THE SpLENDoR OF A UNIFoRM-Count de Or senne one day accompanied the Emperor on hunting excursion. The Emperor had been complaining of thirst, and some one seeing a woman at little distance, called to her. The woman did not know Napoleon or any of the escort She gave the Emperor glass Of wa ter mixed wi tn little brandy, and then curt sled for payment "Therc, my good woman," said Na,@ Icon, pointing to Count de Orsennc, "n is the Emperor, ask him for money he pays for us all." The woman blushed, and looked embarrassed; then turning to the Count she scanned his splendid uniform with the eye of connoiseur, and said, 'He, pooh. nonsense! Do you think believe that The Emperor is not such a coxcomb. You sir. look more like him yourself" The Emperor was much amused at the remark, and gave the woman double louis.

DIVERSION ON RED RIvER-lT PRoPES- Es TO Flow TO THE GULF BY A NEw CHAN NEL--Itha for some years been evident that
 by a sure and rapid process, tbe connection
 between Red river and the Mississippi is be- ing cut off The effect of the complete con- summation of the process, DOW going on with extraordinary and alarming rapidlty, will be to divert Red river into the Atchafalaya, which affords channel for its waters and compels it to flow to the Gulf at Berwick s Bay. Thus the whole of the immense and productive region lying in the valley of Red river will suffer the embarrassment of being shut off from communication with its natural market, while New Orleans will lose the rich trade which the river country annually pours into her lap These contingencies are not remote. They will surely happen within few years if something is not done to obviate it. For years the connection between Red river and the Mississippi has been growing more and more precarious, till in low water Il is almost entirely lost. In the high water season the volume of water which pours down the Atchafalaya exceeds the flow of Red riv- CT as the Mississippi actually backs up through old river, so that the current sets from, in
 stead of into, the main stream. N Q. Delta
