Ballads for Bad Memories.

A frequent excuse put forth by persons asked
to sing is the declaration that they would bc
delighted, if they could remember the words. =
AS words, in the present style Of singing, really
matter very little, we give the following verses
as sample Of the kind of thing that may be
sung by people with short memories.
Oh, if 1 had lumty tum lumty tnm too,
In the land Of the olive aud Gg,
would sing OF the lumty tum tumti to you
And play on the thngumy jig.
And if in the lumty tum battle fall,
A tumti tum's all that crave;
Oh, bury Inc deep in the whatyoumaycal,
And plant thingumbobs over my grave.
In case this should be too great an effort fol
the memory, We have dashed OFF the succeeding
lriile III which, by Il clehr and loud delivery oi
the lines, the hearer viii imagine he knows what
ii is all about.

Labor in the South

We cannot conceive how any man who
has ever lived both North and South, can
give place to the ridiculous idea that labor
was ever regarded as more ienobe at the
South or as degrading man in the estima
ton Of either the rich or the poor, the slave
holding or the non slaveholding. On the
contrary, the only place where the laboring
man, and especially the mechanic was never
cIogged i'll bis efforts to rise anon his tel-
low men, where his employment aud the
hardness Of bis hands never cave exclusion
from company, where bis family easily passl
ed into the charmed circle Of good society,
when their accomplishments suit them there
for, was the South. The favolite mayor of
New Orleans, the one who longest retained
his position, was a journeyman halter, an
other printer, nor can single instance be
! shown in the State where man was helped
into Office by the reputation of being an
"arslocrat," or man OF wealth. So in Mis-.
sissippi; It's tavorite Governor, Joe Mathews,
was a well-digger; Governor Tucker, black
smith and its Senator, John Henderson, a
shoemaker. A man aspiring to high place
in the affections of the people, had always
to appeal to evidences of early industry and
! L'li " IiO'O b'itioSii W oO I'tdCLiCdi iiIouO
Of the people and to know their wants. In
truth, the "aristocracy" Of the South has
always been Of poor men. True, there were
some who affected to despise labor and la
boring men, but these were invariably such
as had travelled N Norh and learned snobbish
ness among the vulgar rich at Newport ant
Saratoga. Ask the mechanic who has jour
neyed over the Southern States and .tht
North alike, in which Of them he was treate(
with most respect? 1t has been the fashion
for years, for the Northern press to asser
that labor was considered degrading to tn
white man in the South The South did no
deem the accusation worthy Of reply
When it is repeated in our midst, and thrc
the sutfrance of men. who know better, W
deem it our duty to reply to it with emphs
sis, that it is less true of the South an
Southern people than of any other upo

An AnecdOte of Henry Clay.

"Perley," the Washington correspondent
of the Boston journal, in al article on the
Supreme Court. relates the following anec-
dote Of Henry Clay:
Mr.. CLAY was Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives when he was retained by the
Governor OF Kentucky to appear before the
Supreme Court and maintain the rights OF
that State against the pretensions OF Virginia,
in long contested suit growing out OF what
was termed the Occupation laws " When
he rose, it was with some slight agitation OF
manner, but he soon recovered his wonted
composure, and held hi. auditors in admir-,
ing attention, while he pronounced the most
beautiful eulogium upon the character OF the
sons of Kentucky, The judges sat in their
black robes Of Office, sedate and attentive.
One of them, Judge Washington, "a nephew
Of the Pater Patrie) was an invetera.e

observing this, instead Of proceeding, ad-
vanced gracefully to the bench with his
thumb and finger extended, and helped him
self from Washington's box. AS he applied
the pinch, he observed, 81 perceive that your
honor sticks to the Scotch" aud Immediately
resu,ning his stand, he proceeded in his
argument without the least embarrassment.
So extraordinary a step over the usual bar
r;er which separates this Court and the
barrisers excited not little astonishment
and admiration among the spectators, and it
was afterwards ap,ly remarked by Judge
Story, in relating the circumstance to
