A rule prevalent in England for ascer-
tanning the weight of each dressed quarter
will be one-seventh OF the live weight OF
the entire sheep; that's, if the sheep weigh
l40 pounds, the dressed carcase will weigh
so pounds. This rule is said to be tolerably
accurate for sheep in fair order not very
fat.

There arranging these traditions
Sixty days it occupied him,
And his gizzard hot within him,
Like a living coal his eizzarVl.
Now upon a summer evening,
This same humble Individual
This same Moses of the darkic,
Took some stars from Hell and Heaven,
/ Thirty-six he took in number
Good and bad ard altogether,
And rpon flag he placed them.A
The Heaven-born he placed at bottom,
And placed above the Hell-begotten.
Low down now, into his pocket,
Moses thrust his great proboscis,
And in tones efthunder beloved, - -
William Seward. William Seward. =
Have you there Constitution,
Good old fashioned Constitution
Kind they have in South Carolina,
That will let us fog Niger,
Ease your gizzard Hogging Dinah?
If YOU have, well take journey
To the doorway of the West wind,
To the portals of The sun set.
To the grave Of The great Douglas"
Moses wept as thus he ended,
Thus he ended in a blubbcr.
Seward answered thus his master
''-All you ask. o great Dictator,
is already at your service
o Great Moses, force out with us
Names 10 draw a crowd around us
Let US have the Great Ulysses
Hero of the Northern people.
Force him out 20 go long with US
Force some Others also with him,
So we'll get a crowd 10 see us.
Wrap this flag around your middle,
Vt one corner wrap it round you,
Tie the ether round my ankle,
Close around my ankle bind it.
Thus suspend me in your pocket.
Your capaciouS breeches pocket,
Head end downward to the bottom,
'Mong the trcasuesof Great Moses,
Snufliing after bread and butter.
Thus we'll swing around the circle,
Flinsing Stars and Constitutions,
Thiriy-six at every flinging,
At the stubborn common people,
At the laboring masses Westward.
Thus we'll terrify and awe them,
Until none shall vote for Schuyler,
None shall dare hurrah for Butler.
Logan too shall be defeated
Hook and line they shall be routed,
Copper johnson stock shall flourish,
Traitors too shall be rewarded"
Thus be ended much exhausted,
Crying family as he ended
Bread and butter, holy Moses"
All was ready now for travel,
of they darled ike the morning
Lurid seemed the sky above them,
Luiid seemed the earth beneath them.
Soon they came to mighty Cleveland,
Place all cursed with schools and churches
People not appreciative--, ffI
Took them for drove Of Asses
All except The great Ulysses,
And the others forced out with him.
Here the wrath OF Moses floored him,
Flung him back upon his launches;
AS he fell he caught beneath him,
Caught The head of Billy Seward,
Right between the end he sits on,
And the mud beneath the platform,
Caught and smashed his future greatness,
Into forty million fragments,
As his pate was downward pendant,
Way down low in Moses pocket,
His capacious breeches pocket.
All the other deeds Of valor,
And the many acts of greatness,
OF the wonderful Dictator,
As he swung around the circle,
They're forbidden, they're forbidden
Fer to be enunciated
Only this shall e'er be mentioned,
Mentioned 10 the shame of HOosiers,
How the stupid Hoosiers used him
Made him shut his spacious blow pipe.
Filled his holy eyes with water
Briny tears of deepest anguish -

Morals of Mexican Officials.

A City of Mexico letter to the Chicago
Tfd"ne says Twenty years ago the vicin-
ity of Nuarnatta, in the State of Michoican
was sadly infected with robbers, and a colo
mel was sent with regiment of cavalry to
break up the bands Of ladroncs which were
proving through the country. The Colonel
had no eye for spcculaton--was no business
man-was only soldier, whose sole ambi-
ton was to do his duty, and consequently,
unlike most officers, made no bargain with
the ladrones, by which they divided their
sPoils' In a few weeks he completely rout.

dence, approached, and a meeting of the
principal citizens of Xuarnatta was held. at
which the Colonel was invited to be present.
The meeting resolved to cclegrate Indepen-
dence Day in grand style, with fireworks,
dinner, procession, illumination, &c, and
appointed the Town Council to carry the
resolution into effect.
Everything went along swimmingly for a
while until the committee was brought to
halt for want Of funds. In this dilemma, a
happy thought struck the city fathers-thcy
called upon the Colonel and told him that
the celebration would cost more money than
they could raise, on account of short crops
and hard times: but if the Colonel would al.
low it they would stop the diligence and rob
the passengers, promising to rcligiously APP
propriate the proceeds of the robbery to the
celebration-thcn they could have n grand
time, and it would not cost anything The
Colonel very coolly made application to the
War Department for the required permission,
and the application is now on file among the
archives of this Government, What com
mcnt on Mexican morality
When Bustament-onc of the best rulers
that Mexico ever had was President, a
nephew came to this city to purchase n
trousseau for his bride, he being about to be
married. The icwelry, amounting to 800
600, was duly purchased, the fact being un-
known outside the palace, and the young
man, in company with two servants, set out
upon his return home. He barely passed the
gate of San Lazaro when he was attacked
by ten disguised robbers, who, after taking
from him his money and jewels, suffered him
to go at liberty. He noticed the course
taken by the robbers, and then FASTENED to
the President, who gave hima file ofsoldiers,
with whom he searched house he saw the
the robbers enter Here he found the entire
gang engaged in sharing their booty, and the
house was filled with stolen goods. The
robbers proved to be President Bustamenti's
chief Of staff and nine Mexican notablcs,
among the richest in the city. The officer
shot himself to prevent beingarrested. The
nine others were convicted and garroted. -
Several Of the most noted Mexican Generals,
Of both armies, commenced life as common
highwaymcn and murdcrcrs.

One Year Ago.

What stars have faded from the sky!
What hopes unfoded but to die
What dreams so fondly pondcred DER,
Forever lost the hues they wore
How like death knell, sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul, ''one year ago'
Where is the face we loved to greet,
The form that graccd the lire-side seat;
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our life path day by day
Where fed those accents soft and low,
That thrilled our hearts Zone year ago."
ALI vacant is the fire. side chair,
The smile that won no longer there;
From door and hail. from porch and lawn
The echo of the voice is gone;
And we who linger only know,
How much was lost Zone year ago!"
Beside her grave, the marble white,
Keeps silent guard both day and night
Serene she sleeps, nor hceds the tread
OF footsteps DER her lowly bed;
Her pulseess breast no more may know
The pangs of life Zone year ago!"
But why repine? A few more years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And we enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have fed;
To that far world rejoicing go,
To which she passed zone year ago!'

Cooling DRINKs.-During the past oppres
siveness of those breezeless days, when our
hearts wlted within US, and every one felt
that 'weariness of the flesh" which prompt
ed the long ago utterance of Sidney Smith,
that she wished he could take off his flesh
and sit in his bones," the Tantalus torture
was feebly reproduced in almost every indi-
vidual experience.
Thirst becomes unremitting in its de-
mands, but the iced goblet is luxury too
dangerous to be satisfactorily quafcd.
There are many compromises between in
terdicted iced water and unrelenting thirst
which may be made safely sanitary as well

Lemonade is of course, the commonest
home luxury in the way of drinkabIes.-
This is not always hcalthtul, however,
Many dyspcptics suffer agonies from the ma
tural action upon the .mucus membrane of
the stomach. Cream of tartar, swectened
and iced, is found an agreeable rCfrigerant
and is uniformly wholesome. For fever
drinks, currants, washed and sweetened, or
tamarlndS in water are most grateful.

Crushed mint with slight addition of
claret or hook Muscatel, Angelica, or any of
the California brands of light wines, is adj,
mirable for the weakly or delicate.
Invalid children, if free from any feverish
symptoms, will frequently be benefited by
slightly stimulating beverages, especially
during the extreme rigor of the dog days.
