Putting Things too far Apart.

Sambo was q slave to q master who was con-
stitntionally addicted to lying sambo, being
strongly devoted to his master had, by dint of
long practice, made himself an adept IN giving
plausibility to his masters stories.
One day, when the master was entertaining
his guests in the customary manner, he related
an amusing incident which took place on one of
his hunting excursions.
II fred at buck, said be, raj hundred
yards distance, and the ball passed through his
heel and his head just back of his cart
This evidently producing some little doubt in
the minds of his guests, he called upon sambo to
corroborate him.
"Yes, massa," said the almost COMPOUNDED
slave, after moments hesitation, "me see de
ball hit i'm. Jes as massa lift up de gun TO de
eye, de old buck lift i'm foot to i'm ear, and
massas ball went clear through i'm heel aud
i'm head at de same time.h
The guests were perfectly satisfied with Sam
bo's explanation, and swallowed the whole with
out hesitation; but when the guests were gone,
Sambo ventured 50 far upon his masters good
humor as to demonstrate.
''For goodness sake, nlassa, said the slave,
when you tell 'nudder such big lie, don put
'em so far 'part-me had very hard work TO get
'em togedder."

POETRY Y.
aTOGETHER %
By EDWARD wILLErT.

Together together Oh, Why should we part
Together in hand, and together in heart
Shoulder to shoulder, as ever before,
Oh, still let us strive for the Union Of yore
Oh we'll may we bleed, as our forefathers bled,
For liberty dies when the Unionas dead.
Then still let Us cling to our Union Of old;
Il is better than all of our lives and our gold
Northerner, Sontherner, still you are one,
Spite OF the foul deeds that traitors have done
Spite Of your bloodshed and spite of your hate
Living or dead, you are joined in your fate.
As one you hare risen as one you must fall;
And one flag or no flag must float over all.
For better or worse we have plighted our troth,
And the ruins Of Union must bury US both.
Then bloody and long though the contest may be,
Our freemen must fight Tor the cause of the fiee;
Though rivers of blood may yet deluge the land,
Our heart must not fail u.s. NOR slacken our hand.
10 counting of costs for the Union is worth
