arkansas Mode of Enioyment.

The tate of society in Arkansas was exces-
sively rough several years since. We hope and
believe it has improved latterly The most
frightful tragedies were frequently enacted, yet
the people seemed to think nothing of them. -
A dangerous cutting scrape was regarded rath-
er as a comical affair than otherwise, as witness
the following, which is substantially true:
Two desperad0es net at tavern in Helena
one evening. They were named respectively
Tom Screggs and Bill Pike. Says Scroggs-
How's things7'
Peart, says Pike.
Heard you said you'd bleed me next time
we met says Scroggs.
That's me- says Pike and two bowie knives
flashed forth.
The fellows had carved each other pretty
briskly for ten or fifteen minutes, when las Pike g
ears had been shaved off and his abdomen been
puncturcd, it suddenly occurred to him that he
had had enough of it, and he struck his colors.
What's all this? 2 tremblngly inquired a
stranger,who entered the room just as the tight
ended.
Oh, its of no count, says the landlord, an
ETHEREAL creature of some two hundred and ten
pounds weight, and with face OF barn door
proportions faint nothin'. Some OF the boys
hev benn enjoying tharselves little-that's all.
Will yer hist in little pizen, stranger?' and
the genial landlord set out black bottle aud a
yellow bowl of brown sugar.
A curious country, that Arkansas, several
years ago

Cur IT SHoRT.-A certain barber, having
the great gift of CAB, used to amuse his custom
ers with his long yarns while he went through
with his functions on their head and faces
One day an old codger came in took his seat
and ordered shave and hair cut. The barber
began to work and began at the same time one
of his long stories, to the no little dissatisfac-
ton Of the old gentleman, who, becoming irri-
tated at the barber, said:
Cut it short.
Yes sir, said the barber continuing the
yarn, until the old gentleman again ordered,
Cut it short, 1 ssy-Cut it short.
Yes sir clipping away and Cabling the
faster.
Cut it short ;.cut it short-I say says the
gent.
Yes sir, says the barber going on with his
story
Will you cut it short !? bawls the old gent in
a rage.
Can't sir says the barber for if you look
in the glass, you'll see I've cut it all off,
~- And to his horror, upon looking in the glass,
the old gentleman found the hair all cut from
his head.

THE EXECUTOR.
CONTINUED.
THE HOUSEKEEPER.

On the other side of the road, at the same
hour, Nancy prepared her tea in the house of
which she was temporary mistress. There could
not be any doubt, to look at her now, that this
tall, dry, withered figure, and face full of char
acterstic wrinkles, was like Mrs. Christian
The resemblance had been noticed by many
And as old Mrs Thompson had not hesitated to
avow that her faithful servant was connected
with her by some distant bond of relationship. it
was not difficult to imagine that these two were
really related, though both denied it strenu.
ously. Nancy had a friend with her to tea
They were in the cheerful kitchen, which had
window to the garden, and window in the
side wall of the house, by which a glimpse of
the street might be obtained through the gard
en- gate. The freight shone pleasantly through
the cheerful apartment. All the peculiar orna-
ments of a kitchen-the covers, the crockery.
the polished sparkles of shining pewter and
brass-adorned the walls. Through it all went
Nancy with her new black dress and
ample snowy-white apron. She carried her
head high, and moved with certain rhythmy-
cal elation. 1t is surely an unphilosophical con
clusion that there is no real enjoyment in wick
edness. Nancy had no uneasiness in her tri-
umph. The more she realized what her victory
must have cost her opponent, the more entire
grew her satisfaction. Remorse might have
mixed with her exultation had she had anv pity
in her, but she had not; and, in consequence,
it was with unalloyed pleasure that she con-
templated the overthrow of her adversary
Perhaps the very satisfaction of good man
in good action is inferior to the absolute sat.
isfaction with which, by times, bad man is
permitted to contemplate the issue of his wick
edness. Nancy marched about her kitchen,
preparing her tea with an enjoyment which
possibly would not have attended a benevolent
exercise OF her powers. Possibly she could al
most have painted to herself, line by line, the
dark tabeau of that twilight room where lay
Mrs. Christian, driving herself crazy with wild
thoughts. She did the gloom of the picture full
justice. If she could have peeped into the win
dow and seen it with her own eyes, she would
have enjoyed the sight.
III make Mr.. Brown keep me in the house,
said Nancy sitting down at table piled with
good things, and which looked an embodiment
of kitchen luxury and comfort, and get me
girl. 1t was what missis always meant to DO
III show it to him out of the will that 1 was
left in trust to be made comfortable. And in
course of nature her things all comes to me-
It's deal easisr to deal with single gentle
man than if there was lady poking her nose
about into everything. Thank my stars, up
starts like such as them Christians shall never
lord it over me; and now / have more of my
own way, I'll be glad to see you of an evening
whenever you can come. Bring bit of work
and we'll have quiet chat. consider myself
settled for life"

KENOSHA WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1861.

A lady In the st. Louis Union, over the signature
mes, on the eve of marriage:
Father, come before thy throne,
With low and Blended knee,
To thank Thee with grateful tone
For all Thy love to me.
Forgive me, ifmy heart this hour
give not all to Thee,
For deep affections mighty power
Divides it now with Thee.
Thou knowest, father, every thought
That wakes within my breast,
And how this heart has vainly sought
To keep its love suppressed;
Yet, when the idol, worshipped one,
Sits fondly by my side,
And breaths the vows cannot shun
Tome, his destined bride
Forgive me il the loving kiss,
lie leaves upon my brow,
Is thought off an hour like this,
And thrills me, even now.
He's chosen me to be his love
Aud comforter through life;
Enable me, Oh God TO prove
Allowing, faithful wife.
lie knows not, Father, all the deep
Affections I control
The thousand loving thoughts that sweep
Resistless, DER ny soul
He knows not each deep font oflove
That gushe warm and free,
Nor can he ever, ever prove
My wavm idoatry.
Then guard him, Battle-Ground his way
Thy choicest blessings cast,
And render each successive day
Still happier than the last.
And Father, grant US to live,
That when this life is DER,
Within that happy home you give,
We meet to meet to part no more

The Wisconsin EsOys Go the Whole
Hog.

Hog.
The Wisconsin First Regiment has commenced
active service by going 'the whole hog Beau
regard will do well to keep out of the hands of the
Badger Boys, ifhe does not wish to share the
fate of the first unfortunate wanderer into their
camp. A lively correspondent of the Milwaukee
Sentinel writes from Chambersburgh, Pa, as fol-
lows:
s'The Indiana Eleventh, which routed the reb-
els at Romney Va, had left the camp when we ar
rived here on Wednesday morning. Early on
Thursday arrived the Pennsylvania Eleventh and
the Connecticut Fourth, before referred to and en-
camped by our side. Col Starkweather has the
honor of recommending the post.
Hearing that the Connecticut boys, their
arrival, were destitute of provisions and nearly
starved boys made liberal donations from their
own short allowances to feed their hungry broth
els. just at this juncture, large hog broke over
the guard lines into the camp, and the impulsive
Badgers pursued Lin with bayonet and butcher
knife. He was soon captured, butchered and car
ried off in triumph, over to the Connecticut Regi-
ment for breakfast.
Col, Mcclure who owned the hog, was advised
of the occurrence. He laughed, forgave the boys,
and said it was all right. When we get into
/" Diyie's Land" you will hear of more brilliant
oragng than this. / will then send you further
accounts of the doings ofthe First Wisconsin Reg
iment.
Probably the expectations of our friends have
been raised somewhat by the commentators
which have greeted us so freely here in the East
We will endeavor not to disappoint them by our
action in the field"
