HERCULES AND COLUMBIA.

We have all road marvellous tales of snakes,
They are stories that all must enjoy;
The goddess Juno, It's said, sent pair
To eat up a wonderful boy.
Hercules was his name-a bump little babe,
Good -humored, and smart as a trap
He throttled the serpents, choked them to death,
And crowed as they lay in his lap.
Centuries pass when Columbia lies
Half asleep in her crib near the door
But bark there's hiss she opens her eyes
And wonderingly looks on the floor.
It's a rattlesnake; ha see his horrid tongue,
His teeth, and his hateful eyes!
Bat the baby puts forth her chubby, fat hand,
And grasps him as firm as vice
He is dead-and Columbia, turning away,
Sees a coPPERHEAD coiled at her feet;
She grasps him at once he struggles and dies
Let her crow, tits triumph complete.

his mother, and managed her estates, giving
up and foregoing any other business in which
he might have engaged. In 1858, while in

protested against it. By this will all the

good story of an Illinoisan who was stopping
at the same hotel On Sunday, the Western
man. being desirous of hearing several of

church. but heard stranger preach from

to Beecher's Plymouth church and heard
the same discourse from the same preacher.
Going in the evening to DR.. Osgood's church
he found the same discourse and the same
theme" Simon's wife's mother lay sick of
a fever" The next day the patient hero Of
the thrice told discourse was crossing to
Brooklyn in ferry boat, when the alarm
bell in the Park agtated the air with its
shocks of sound, and a man behind him in.
quired why that bell was tolling. Looking

The following is an extract from a letter
written to the st. Louis Democrat, from
Long Branch, somewhat noted place of
summer resort. Wonder if the style will be
introduced here?
This galop is comparatively new dance.
Inc gentleman clasps his arm around the
iady's waist, and squeezes ad li6itum. and
the lady drops hers around his neck and
lovingly lolls her head upon his shoulder,
and both go spinning and painting down the
room at speed elsewhere seen only at
Dutch lager beer gardens after forty glasses
each. Imagine team consisting of blind
mule aud lame COW hitched to cart.
whereof one wheel is twice the size of the
other and neither is round driven rapidly
over superannuated corduroy road, you
you will have some idea of the motion of
the galop, and nothing short of that will do.
The old, graceful, plain waltz, the schot-
tsche and polka. with even their license,
were bad enough. but when the bottom of
skirts 90 flying far above where the dress.
tops ought to be-when the lady's flushed
cheek literally lies on her partners shoulder.
and his too often whisky scented breath
scorches her bosom-when the whole dance
seems to be especially contrived to secure
unrestrained hugging and to exhibit female
stockings in distended state, the thing,
though perhaps fashionable, becomes lit
tie too much for decent humanity.

Resolved. That we sincerely rejoice in the ces
s,tOn Of war and the return of peace throughout
our whole country; and we trust that the momcn
tous lessons Of the past four years will inspire
among all our fellow citizens greater reverence
for constitutional obligations and those iendly
and fraternal relations between the people o{ all
the States which are the most solid guarantee
for the perpetnity of the Union.
Resolved. That the Democracy of California
will in the future. rs in the past. give cordial
support to the National Administration in the
discharge of all its constitutional functions and
most especially in times of great national peril;
that in the face Of the manifold difficulties and
cmbarrlssmcnts resulting from the late war, the
Democr ,tic party will not withhold its suppoft
from the policy of the Administration far a
the same tends to secure the rights and lib,ert ie
of the States and Of their citizens.
Resolved. That upon every ground Of Justice
aud policy to the white people ot the country as
we'll rs of humanity to the negro themselves the
Democratic party is inaexibly opposed to negro

by action of Congress, upon the negroes of the
Southern States.

mand imperaively that her mining interests
should be developed and fosered and her peo-
pie are in the same degree opposed to any system
for the sale or taxation of her mines.
Resolved that the whole history of California
is triumphant vindicaton of her State policy OF
a gold and silver circulating medium; and that
any change in this respect would be disastrous in
the extreme; that unwritten contracts for work.

enforced in gold and silver coin.
Resolved, That the Monroe doctrine is an cs
scntial part of the policy of the Democratic party
and of the American people.
Resolved. That when the civil authority is in
