THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.
By AN FRESHMAN.

Oh, for some deep secluded dell,
Where brick and mortar life may cease,
TO sit down in q pot Of grease,
No--nO-I mean grot OF peace.
I'd choose a home by Erin's wave,
With not sound to mar life's lot,
I'd by the cannon have a shot
No-by the Shannon have cot.
How fair that rocky isle around,
That wild eXpanse to scan it DER,
I love shiver with a roar
mean river by the shore.
Romantic Erin's sea girt land,
How sweet with one you love the most,
To watch the cocks upon the roast
mean the rocks upon the coast.
'Twere sweet at moonlight's mystic hour,
To wander forth where few frequent,
To come upon tipsy gent
No-no-l mean gypsy tent.
Ia that retirement, love, would
Pursue some rustic industry,
And make myself boiling tea
No-no-I mean toiling bee.l
Beneath shady sycamore,
How sweet to breathe loves tender VOW,
Your dear one bitten by SOW
Mo- mean sitting by bough
Or sweet with your fond wife to sit
Outside your door at daylight's close,
While she's hard hitting at your nose
Il mean hard knitting at your hose.
Perhaps on early cares you brood,
While sympathy her sweet face shows:
IT'S good to walk upon ones toes
= mean to talk upon ones woes.
All still you watch that fairy shape,
A summer dress which does adorn,
Admiring much her laugh Of scorn--
No-no-I mean her scarf of lawn.

PRINCE POLIGNAC.-The rebels imported
a Polish Prince, Camille dc Polignac, to
help fight against their Government. The
Prince has been writing letter to the
Paris PresSe. Polignac is one of the ia
nous family that rendered Napoleon dis
tinguished services. He has learned at
the South the old political clap-trap, and
accuses the North of holding all the liber-
ties of the South beneath the point Of the
sabre. He concludes with considerable
naiuete "Such is an American peace-by
no means unhealthy for those who i'm
pose it, but exceedingly SO for those upon
whom it is imposed. IL has secret anal
ogy with the process by which teeth are
pulled without pain--to the extractor
When Polignac commanded cavalry
brigade on the Red river, a Texas company
came to brigade headquarters and com
menced growing in their amable Texas
way about their rations. We have 1t from
an eyewitness that Polignac put on his
sabre and stepped to the front of his tent,
and spoke to the men thus: "You have a
leader, suppose" eyes," said one Of
them, 81 am captain" Step to the
front, sir" said Polignac and, immedi-
ately drawing his pistol, he shot the man
dead. General Polignac regarded this
man as a mutineer, and sternly exercised
on him, without trial, the extreme rights OF
the laws Of war.
