The next morning, when the stage came
along in good repair, and took leave of
the worthy farmer and his family, I held
out my hand to the noble dog, who placed
paw in it, with dignifcd gravity, and
gave me parting look of intelligence that
haunts me to this day, and which, were 1
an artist, should have long since drawn
up canvass. Had that animal a mind and
soul! Sometimes, when I compare him
with the human brutes | meet with almost
daily, l am tempted to believe he had
both, and that the latter have neither.

institution by and of himself He inks the
type, or turns the crank, or "lays on tho
sheets" (Other people sometimes do the
latter.) If it we're not for him the paper
would not 'come out" He sweeps cut

cause some one has "hooked the kindlings."
He does the "chores at the house, He
''quicts the baby" Yet his most impor-
tant duty is to keep watch on tho street
corner so as to inform the editor when the
sheriff is after hsm
With all this, the Devil" shoulders all
the bad or smutty jokes of the editor
When the mighty man of the pen is
ashamed of an expression, and still desires
to utter it, he says, "our Devil says thus
and So and the poor devil has to stand it
Nevertheless, the "Devil' is an imper.
tant parsonage in society. He attends
lectures. He frequents concerts, shows,
and the opera; butt say it more in sor-
row than in anger-he seldom attends

possesses more than single shirt,) as
''member of the Press and so presses his
claims that he is admitted without tho
accustomed quarter. But our young friend
is not alone. He is too much of a gallant
for that. His "woman" is with him, and
he and his "woman'' pass in and enjoy the
entertainment, which, whatever it may be,
is taken down in doses alternated with pea.
nuts and tobacco. For the "Devil chews

ny EDWIN rsUs,
Columbia's shores are wild and wide,
Coiumbia's hills are high,
Aud rudey planted side by side,
Her forests meet the eye.
But narrow must those shores be made,
And low Columbia's hills,
And low her ancient forests laid
Ere freedom leaves her fields.
For It's the land where rude and wild,
She played her gambols when a child,
And deep and wide her streams that flow
Impetuous to the tide;
And thick and green the laurcls grow
On nevery rivers side.
But should translantic host,
Pollutc her waters fair,
We'dmcot them on the rocky coast,
And gather laurels there.
For OF Columbia's sons are brave,
And free as oceans widest wave.
The gales that wave her mountain pine,
Are fragrant and serene;
Aud never clearer sun did shne
Than lights her valleys green
But puirid must those breezes blow,
That sun must set in gore
Ere footsteps of a foreign fee
Imprint Columbia's shore;
For o! her sons are brave and free.
Their breasts beat high with liberty.
For arning boldcst cuirassicr,
We've miacs of sterling worth.
For sword and buckler, spur and spear
Embouclled in the earth,
But ere Culumbia's sons resign
The boon their fathers won,
The polished ore from every mine
Shall glitter in the sun.
For brights the blade, and sharp the spear,
Which freedoms sons to battle bear.
Let Britain boast the deeds she's done,
Display her trophies bright,
And count her laurels bravcly won,
In well contested fight.
Columbia can band array,
win wrest that laurel wreath,
With truer eye and steadier hand,
Will strike the blow Of death;
For whether sn the land or sea,
Columbias fight is victory.
Let France in blood through Europe wade,
ana III ner tfantlc mOOu,
In civil discori draw the blade
And spill her childrens' blood.
TOO dear that skill in arms is bought
Where Kindred life blood flows,
Collmbia's sous are only taught,
To triumph DER their foes;
And thln to comfort, sOuth. and save,
The filings OF the conquered brave.
Then let Columbia's Eagle soar,
Aud bear her banner high;
The thunder from her dexter pour,
And tightening from her eye.
And VIII she sees from realms above,
The storm Of war is spent,
Descending like the welcome dove,
Th; olive branch present;
And then will bcauty's hand divine,
The never fading wreath entwine,
