A Happy Land.
The following is very old, but pretty gooj
and will bear Second reading
"oh is there not happy land
A land beyond the seas
Where pot-pie smokes in boundless lakes
And dumplings grow on trees?
Where gingerbread is found in stacks,
And smearcase by the ton;
And when you do a JOB of work,
iou get the ''ready john"
Where natures lessons may be read
In every babbling brook7
Where banbIe-bees don't sting chap,
And muly cows don't hook ?"

MUD AND sLUSH. H.-fhe Gold winds Of a
few days ago. when the earth was clad in her
raiment Of white, has yielded to the iiore
gentle breezes Of the sunny South, disrobihg
nature other winters attire, and producing d
medley and tumble that never entered into the
calculations of the most distinguished Of Alma
nae Makers. We have consulted old Gfubers,
and we find that his calculations are as wild
as the fickleness ofthe weather itself. We hard
ly know how to account for this condition Of
things, without it can be attributed to the re-
cent discovery ofa great oil tank in Hancock
County, which becoming ignited, has heated up
the earth, thus producing the.riost conglomerate
mixture that we have everseen. Such mud and
slush we hardly remember of ever seeing in De-
cember before. II the weather continues in this
unsettled state long, we prophecy busy time
for the Doctors, and as consequence u rich
harvest for the undertakers
p. S.-Since the above was put in type, the
mud has frozen, and the earth has put on her
white robe.
