Rejoice with me, my boy, that l have got back
my gothic steed, Pegasus, from the Government
chap who borrowed him for q desk. The splen.
did architectural animal has Just enough slant
desk; and then his tail is co handy to wipe pens
on. ! In a moment Of thirst he swallowed bot
tie OF ink, aud some fears we're entertained for
his life but gross Of steel pens and a ream of
blotting paper, Immediately administered, caused
him to come out all write. 4al.
In gothic sense, my boy, the charger contin.
ues to produce architectural illusions. He was
standing on hill side the other day, with his
rear elevation toward the spectators, his head
up and ears touching at the top, when q chap
who had been made pious by frequent conversa-
tion with the contrab ands, noticed him afar of,
and says he to the soldier, "What church is that
behold in the distance, my fellow-worm of the
dust?" The military veteran looked, and says
he, at does look like church, but it's only an
animated hay-rack belonging to the cavalry"
Il see" says the pious chap, moving on; "the
beast looks like church because he's been &C.
customed 10 stceple chasea" gts
/ have also much satisfaction in the society of
my dog, Bologna, who has already become 20
attached to me that I believe he would defend
me against any amount Of meat Like the Old
Guard of France, he's always around the bony
parts thrown; and, like bon uiponf, is much
given to whining after his dinner.
The last time I was at Paris, my boy, this in.
teresting snimsl made good breakfast off the
calves Of the General Of the Asckerel Brigadicr's
legs, causing that great strategical commander
| to issue enough oaths for tue whole Southern
Confederscy "Thunder n says the General, at
the conclusion of his cursory remarks, ~ shall
have the hydrophobia and bite somebody. It's
my opinion says the General, hastily licking q
few grains Of sugar from the spoon be was hold.
ing At the time: "Is's my opinion, that shall 60

"Then you're perfectly safe, my conqueripg
hero, says ]; "for when you see water, the A.
lantic ocean will be principally composed Of
brandy pale" 80, ,sl.,s.l5
Speaking Of Paris, it pains me, my boy, 70 say
! that Captain William Browns proclamation for
! she cancellation Of Southern Union men has
been repudiated by the General Of the Hackerel
Brigade. "Thunder" says the General, taking
1 . cork from bis pocket In mistake for wsteh
key, .'its against the Constitution to open bar
! 20 far away from where Congress sits." And he
at once issued the following
SIS soiisgn PROCLAMATION.
