At last the gaol was reached, and as
Mr.. Pollywog assisted his fair fellow
passenger to descend, bestowing upon
her those numerous small packages, for
which young ladies are proverbial, she
invited him to call upon her, as she
would be very happy to hear of his
success.

favor me with your name and address,

"Certainly," she replied, and taking
a card from her port-monia she wrote
some words on it with a delicate gold
pencil; and with bewitching smile
and bow, she left him as much in love
as was ever any specimen Of the geaus
homo. He watched her till her grace
ful figure and blue silk dress were out
of sight, before looking at the card
she had left in his hand.
IF it had been his own death war
rant he could hardly have been more
astonished than at seeing in fine Ger
man text the name 'Miss Annie Pear
son." and underneath in pencil, the
homely but significant maxim: "Nev-
er count your chickens before they are
hatched."

Mr.. Rodolphus X. Pollywog took the
next stage for home. If it were not
for the danger and discomfort, he
would enlist, but as it is, if he wishes
and must haze ten thousand dollars, he
will have to earn it, as Nature intend
ed we all should, "by the sweat of the
brow"

CoLoRED TROOPS SoUTH.-The New
Orleans Pieayune of January 10th,
gives an account Of a grand review of
the rebel troops il that city on the pre-
vious day, from which we copy the fol-
lowing:
"We must also pay deserved COM
pliment to the companies of free col
ored men, all very well drilled, and
comfortably uniformed. Most of these
companies, quite unaided by the ad-
ministration, have supplied themselves
with arms, without regard to cost or
trouble. One Of these companies, COM
manded by the we'll known veteran,
Capt. Jordan, was presented, little
before the parade, with a fine war flag
Of the new style. This interesting GER
emony took place at Mr.. Cushing's
store, on Camp, near Common street.
The presentation was made by Mr.
Bigney, and Jordan made on this oc-
casion one of his most felicitous speech
es."
1t is evident that the rebels, at least,
have no tender seDsibilities on the
score Of employing colored men as SOL
diers.

Practical Jokes in Camp.

A correspondent writing from the
camp of Gen. Nelson's division in Ken
tucky, related this incident:
Our boys are furious for practical
jokes, and are constantly on the look
out for subjects. One was recently
procured in the person of new team
ster, who had the charge Of six shag-
gy mules. John was also the proprie-
tor of two bottles of old Bourbon-a
contlaband in camp-which wag dis
covered, and resolved to possess. Be-
ing aware that the drivers presence
was an impediment to the theft, he hit
upon the following plan to get rid of
him:
Approaching the driver, who was
busy currying his mules, he accosted
him with, I say, old fellow, what are
you doing there %
"Can't you e?'' replied Jehu gruff-
ly.
"Certainly," responded the wag,
'but that is not your business. 1t is
after tattoo, and there is fellow hired
here by the General who curries all
the mules and horses brought in after
the tattoo
The mule driver bit at once, and
wanted to know where the 'hair-dress-
err kept himself. Whereupon he was
directed to Gen. Nelson's tent, with the
assurance that there was where the fel-
low hung out
"You can't mistake the man. said
the wag; 'he is large fellow, and puts
on laundering sight of airs for a man
in his business. He will probably re.
fuse to do it, and tell you to go to the
devil, but don't mild that; he has been
drinking to-day. Make him come out
sure
