Let a man be ruined, he has been the
victim of some tleachery. or the dupe of
some designing friend, or else it is the
result Of circumstances over which be

his own fault!
Let glass or crockery be broken in
your household, or few spoons be alb
sent without leave, not one of the SER
wants knows any thing about it.
Let an umbrella be missing, no one
has ever seen it.
Let the dinner be late, to believe the

let horse turn out queerly or badly,
It is very straDge;-there never was any

evidence of its frankness and intrepidity
in arranging the political authorities who
have usurped the control of the Seeded

expressive of the critical judgment

when the tempest of passion has apent its

and. while all this is VIGOROUSLY SO. the
imbecli,y which has produced it is per-
petually taxing its ingenuity to devise
some new expedients, finding fresh pre-
texts for rewarding hangers-on of dis
appendages of the old militia system
The following observations are lnstruc-
tive, both because OF the frank admission
they contain as to the parties really re-
spouslble for initiating the present war,
and because Of the freedom with which

old Puts Frightened.

1t is generally SUPPOSED that Israel Put
nam, OF revolutionary memory. was pretty
brave man. The stories that have been re-
lated Of him about his descent to the wolf s
den, of his escape from the British down the
stone stairs at Horseneck, and his duel with
the British officer, setting upon a key Of on
Ion seed, which was supposed to be powder,
are all remembered. a Correspondent Of the
Norwich Courier, however, says thai, Old
Put, brave as he was, got thoroughly fright
ened once in his life 1t WAS in this wisc:--
1t is generally known that rattle snake
that has been recently killed. and without
dIHiocatinB any part will Oh being lifted bv
the TAIL recoi in such manner as to strike
its head against the hand. When Putnam
was alive and lived in POmlret. some one
caught rattle snake, and gave an opportu-
nifty to all that came upto test their courage
but none stood the test of the first trial, as
they saw the head slowly rising, and before
it touched the hand. they were sure to let it
drop. Soon Putnam was seen to approach,
and every one thought that he would not
finch, as his courage was well known. Be-
ing invited to try it, after suspciously eye
ing the reptile he took hold and raised it stead
lily and slowly, hut no sooner had its weight
fairly left the ground then up came the head
and down dropped the snake. A little dis
comtittca by the laughter which followed the
natural impulse that forced him to quit his
hold, he held ON TIL its head simply touched
his hand, when he dropped it az .in like a
red hot iron, amid the loud guffiws Of the
spectators. Probably his courage never stood
u more severe test than Oh that occasiou.-
Such is the story among the old men OF PROM
fret and the adjoining towns.
