LADYis WATERFALL.

sHE wore monstrous waterfall the night when
first we met
A roll, halfhorse, halfhuman hair, hung in a
bended net;
It rested on her shoulders, for the first time put
g.. in use,
And she looked just like Digger squaw when
Juggling papoose;
On, taking good rearward squint at head and
hair together,
Just like horse, with tail tied up, in very mud
dy weather!
And she stood beneath her burden she thought
was passing fair,
With her dainty head drawn backward and her
nose turned up in air;
I saw her but moment, so graceful and so tall
Bending, sweating meath the burden Of her cher
ished waterfall.
Oh, when will Fashion give Us back the charms
weprized so long.
The web Of siIken splendor- theme Of many
a song
The shining hair that kissed the brow in many
an airy curl,
And gavethe crowning beauty to every lovely
girl?
When will sense resume its rule sgaih--Eashion
receive check,
And our loved ones no more carry round pillow
on their neck?
A thing composed of horses tails, OF wool, Of
jute, Of cord
A monstrOus, mean Disagreement, by every man
abhorred,
A load upon their shoulder, at home, abroad, at
ball.
A foolish bag-a senseless bump, they call a
waterfall.

miles from Dubuque, the other day. 6ea
A man was brought before the, SQUIRE to
be tried for assault and battery. Nowr6s il
remembered that the said Squire has an ard
ent love for the "crsythur," and when his
love" is indnlged at any extent, he is OUT

trial of a case.

continually in hot water with some Of his
neighbors in consequence of the depredations
committed by his unruly live stock. A few
weeks since Van Amburgh's Menagerie, trav-
cling through GoIumbiana, was obliged to
pass his residence, A little before daylight
Nash, tho keeperof the elephant Tippoo saib'
as he was passing over the road with his ele-
phaut, discovered this pseudo-QuaEer seated
upon fence up7n the roadside; watching a
bull which he had turned out upon the road,
and which was paving, believing and throw
ing up tremendous dust generally. In fact,
from the fury Of the animals demonstrations,
one would readily have taken him for one Of
the identical breed that butted the locomo-
tive off a bridge.
"Take that bull out Of the way" shouted
Nash, as he approached.
Proceed with thy elephant" was the re-
ply.
"If you don't take that bull away he will
get hurt" continued Nash, approaching while
the bull redoubled his belligerent demonstra-
tions.
"Don't trouble thyself about the bull, but
proceed with thy elephant" retorted Friend
shavey, rubbing his hands with delight at the
prospect Of an approaching scrimmage the
old fellow having great confidence in.the in
vincibility of his bull, which was really the
terror Of the whole country around,
Tippoo Saib came on with his uncOuth,
shainbIng gait; the bull lowered his head
and made charge directly upon the elephant
Old Tippoo, without even pausing in bis
march, gave his cow-catcher sweep, catch
ing the bull on the side, crushing in his ribs
with his enormous tusks, and then raised him
about thirty feet in the air, the bull striking
upon his head as he came down, breaking his
neck and killing him instantly.
I'm afraid your bull has bent his neck
little" shouted Nash, as he passed on.
Bent the devil, cried old ShaVey, with
troubled look at his defunct bull thy ele--
phant is too hefty for my beast, but thee viii
not make so much out of the operation as
thee supposes. I was going to take my fam
Ily to thy show, but III see thee and thy show
blowed to blazes before I go one step, and
now thee may proceed with thy elephant and
be d-d,-please ;" The "please" being added
as Shavey took a second look at the proper
ton Of the stalwart elephant keeper Cincin-

Missries Of MilliOnalrss,

UNDER this head the New York Sunday
Times reads forcible homIly upon the idea
that all is not gold that glittOrs, and that the
man who has made his pile has not in conse-
quence sowed coutentment among his days.
The Times in illustration gives three pictures
"a triune of wealth-in the following sit
tings:
Look at VIM. B. Astor, as he slowly and
with automatic gait moves along Broadway,
glancing neither to the right or the left, and
evidently deeply immersed in mental arith-
matte. Manifestly he is the oppressed pack
horse Of his own great afairs--a being that
might have tripped gaily through the world
with light heart and a thin pair Of breech-
es, had he not been a pet Of PIutus; but
who, as it is stoops under weight Of rent
roll and bond and mortgage, almost too heavy
for elderly humanity to bear. Unfortunate
financial Atlas, with world of wealth upon
its shoulders, and care and anxiety, sitting
like twin iueubi, perched upon It's top, how
we pity himI And yet such is the effect Of
habit in reconciling and even attaching man
to bis burdens, that he would be more like
ly to denounce than thank US, should we
philanthropieaIly offer to ease him Of part Of
his. s LES
Commodore Vanderbilt seems to have
more backbone than Mr.. Astor, and bears
his S4O,OOO.oOO with porter-like pluck, We
say SAC, ,OOO, 900 because Mr.. Parton, bis bio
grspher, appraised his real and personal at
