along side snd side and lash 'em together
and drive some thole pins in the oulmost

along two or three miles pretty well. But
by and by Bill johnson begun 10 complain.
He was always an uneasy harumscarum

else had an easier time than he had, and
when he was boy always used to be COM
plaining that the other boys had more but
ter on their bread than he had. Well, Bill
was rowing on the leward side, and he be-
gun to fret and said his side went the hard
est, and be wouldn't give US any peace till
one of US changed sides with him.
Well. Bill hadn't rowed but little ways
on the windward side before he begun TO
fret again, and declared that side went har
der than 'tother, and he wouldn't touch to
row on that side any longer We-told him
he had his choice, and he Shouldn't keep
changing so. But he only fretted the more
and begun to get mad. At last he clared
if we didn't change with him in five minutes,
he'd cut the laskings and take his log and
paddle off alone. And before We had hard
ly time to turn round, he declared the FIVE

dancing like a monkey to try to keep on the

to roll more and more, and by and by in he

pretty soon if be stayed there. be begun
to sing out like loon for us to come and

would row if we would take his log into the

Their side or both sides if you want me to,
if you'll only come and help me before l

But. said the President. hope you didn't
help the foolish rascal out till he got pref
ty good soaking. He got soaked enough
before we got TO him, says l, for be was

He SAYS that Missouri will hold to the
Union, and will not be frightened nor dra-
gooned into secession, but if the cotton
States persist in secession, she desires them
to 60 in peace. He opposes the idea of a
separate Government as rulnous 10 the
State, and says that the idea of voluntary Sc
cession is absurd and destructive of nation
al faith.
He says that the Northwest States will
never consent to have the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi cut off from them. Recommending
delay, reflection and consideration, he still
favors separation as last resort.
He extols the conduct of the military
under General Frost, and presents the
grounds upon which he sent forward the
expedition. He recommends more opera
tive military law for the arming and equip
ment of volunteers, and the encouragement
of a military spirit.
The estimated balance in the Treasury
for the year ending rct. l, 1861. will be
100000, subject to any orders of the Gen
eral Assembly.
In consequence of the present crisis and
depreciation of State Bonds, he thinks that
no future bonds should be issued in aid of
the railroads; but recommends that the first
lien which the State holds on the unfinish-
ed portion be released, on the condition
that the company. by mortgaging the por-
ton not yet completed. can procure sufi
Gent means to finish it, the S ate retaining
the first lien on that portion of the road in
running order at the time that the company
may mortgage the unfinished portion. and
taking second mortgage on the remainder.
He points out the importance to the State
of completing the gap from Sedalia to Kan
sas City, and from Kansas City to Weston.
He warns the Legislature against the sell
out policy.
He recommends that thesuspension of the
banks be legalized in consequence of the po-
ltical causes which compelled it.-Kansos

BRoUGHAM's HOMAGE TO BEAUTY.-WeI
have heard-and the story has an air of
VrGiScmLtdnce-tha one day, as BrouS ham
was leaving the House OF Lords, he met a
friend who was proudly escorting two very
handsome young ladies'. "Ah, Brougham,"
was his greeting, 81 am sorry you are leav-
ing, because my fair young friends had
made up their minds to hear you address
the House." Then" retorted Brougham,
casting An eye of admiration upon his ex
pectant audience. 'tLey shall not be disap-
pointed" and forthwith he returned into
his accustomed place among The Peers,
while the ladies were escorted 10 the gallery.
Lord Melbourne was then in Office; and
when the first pause in the proceedings oc-
CURED. up jumps Brougham. witb.a ques-
ton upon some intricate matter of foreign
policy. The poor Premier smiles amiably,
but bopelessly; he is not acquainted with
the facts; no notice has been given of the
question, he is very sorry, but must iu-
quire for information. This was all Brough-
am required. Once more he rises; but
this time with that terrible frown upon his
brow, and that rugged voice with which he
knew so well how TO crush an opponent
A philippe against the incapaciiy of the
Minister, the negligence with which public
affairs were conducted, the shameful supine-
ness and indifference manifested by the ad-
visers of the Queen, was poured forth with
all the rough, strong, rapid eloquence of
which this man alone was capable. Lord
Melbourne cowed in his seat; The rumors
of this great speech brought loungers from
the Commons to listen to what seemed the
death blow of the Ministry: Queen Victo-
ria herself heard what was going on, and
trembied for her amiable Minister. A lead
ing article appeared in next mornings

the last importance; and it was only made
after all to please pair of pretty woman
