which he has tried on many hors-

be badly off with them, raise the
foot and pour them on, dropping
the foot directly. In two hours
the horse will move with ease to

have been. The disease is imme-
diately cured by the application.

LOVE-A Kittens Chief
Attraction.
BY sHoRTFELLow.

What most prize in kittens
Is their affection--not their intellect
And if my kitten gently frisk, and
In the silken softness of her Maltese coat
Dsmurely wait my coming, content am 1.
No rivalry fear; and, as / gently pat
That furry head, and listening, bend to catch
That half-uttered NEW, l feel my greatness
A kittens lord am land my soul rises
In its grandeur, towering sublimel
Compare me with the great men of earth
What am I? Why pigmy among giants
But if thou, my kitten, lovest-mark 1 say
lowest
The noblest woman on whose fair brow
Intellect has set its seal excels thee not.
The world of affection is thy world
Not that of mans ambition. In that stiffness
Which most becomes kitten, thou sittest
Purring by the freside of my heart,
Winking at its bright flames. The element of
fire @~
Is nure 1t cannot change its nature;
But burns as brightly in kittens heart
AS in woman's soul.

WHOLE NO. 6ls,
The End of a Gambler.

Among the innumerable anec-
dotes related of the ruin of persons
at play, there is one worth relating
which refers to Mr. Porter, a
gentleman who, in the reign of
Queen Anne, possessed one of the
best estates in Northumberland,
the whole of which he lost at haz-
ard in twelve months. Accord
ing to the story told of this mad
man-for we can call him nothing
else-when he had just completed
the loss of his last acre, at q GAM
bling house in London, and was
proceeding down stairs to throw
himself into carriage to convey
him home to his house in town, he
resolved upon having one more
throw to try to retrieve his losses,
and Immediately returned to the
room where the play was going
on. Nerved for the worst that
might happen, he insisted that the
person he had been playing with,
should give him one chance Of re-
covering or fight with him.
His proposition was this: That
his carriage and horses, the trink-
cts and loose money in his pockets,
his town house, plate and furni-
ture-in short, all he had left in
the world, should be valued in q
lump at certain sum, and he
thrown at one single cast. No
persuasion could prevail on him
to depart from his purpose. He
threw, and lost; then, conducting
the winner to the door, he told the
coachman there was hismaster, and
marched forth into the dark and
dismal streets, without house or
home, or any one creditable means
of support. Thus beggared, he re-
tired to an obscure lodging in q
cheap part of town, subsisting part
ly on charity, sometimes acting as
the marker at billiard table, and
occasionally as helper in a livery
stable.
In this miserable condition, with
nakedness and famine staring him
in the face, exposed to the taunts
and insults of those whom he had
once supported, he was recognized
by an old friend, who gave him ten
guineas to purchase necessaries.
He expended five in procuring
decent apparel; with the remain
ing five he repaired to q common
gaming house and increased them
to fifty. He then adjourned to
one of the higher order of houses,
sat down with his former associates,
and won 100000. Returning the
next night he lost it all, was once
more penniless, and after subsist-
ing many years in abject penury,
died a beggar in st. Giles,

THE HOoPED SKIRT AND BAPTISM

THE HOPED SKIRT AND BAPTISM.
AT Detroit last week q rather
amusing scene took place during
the baptism of a young lady by the
pastor of the Tabernacle. The
minister requested her to assume
the dress peculiar to such occa-
sions, but she declined to take off
her hooped skirt. The minister
told her of the inconvenience that
would result from her obstinacy,
but like a true female she persist
ed; but when she came to descend
into the bath the inflated skirt
touched the water, and rose up
around her like balloon. Her
head was lost to the congregation;
she was swallowed up in the swell
ing skirt. The minister then tried
to force her down into the bath,
but she was kept above the sur
face by the floating properties of
crinoline, and was buoyed up SO
successfully that it was not until
after much difficulty, and many
forcibRe attempts to submerge the
lady, that the minister succeeded
in baptising the fair one. Final
ly it was effected, to the relief of
the minister and seriously inclined
audience, who could not keep from
chuckling in their sleeves and
laughing in their pocket handker-
chiefs.

the match to the Treasury Build
ings would finally be detected; and
two years after he yielded the
"Royal Mace" to Mr.. Van Buren,,
two men were arrested, charged
with the crime; and one of them,
though he was convicted, was sub
sequently pardoned, because it
was ascertained that he was guilt
less, and had been condemned on
perjured evidence. This was the
most extraordinary and wonderful
part of the Treasury Building af-
fair; and the amount OF crime and
villainy it developed. staggers hu-
man credulity. Neither time nor
space will admit of my relating
the history of this last and post
extraordinary incident in the his
tory of the times Of General Jack
son; and therefore, must defer it
to be embodied in another number
of these papers. In the mean
time, and in advance of the un-
published history, and the de-
3aoa.eme,at of individual and off,
cial crime-contemplating as l do,
what may yet characterize the ac-
ton of subsequent administra-

times of the "Tudors," and am

cable to ultimate events, the ejac-
ulatory imprecations Of the Fourth

U. s. Agent for the Paris Exhibition of
1867 has been in attendance on Congress
for several days, to explain to members the
necessity for prompt action, If an appro-

BUFFALO, March LIN the Albany Leg
islature to-day Mr.. Low offered the follow
ing, which were referred to a select com
mittee of five:
sReSolred, That in the Judgment of this
Senate it is the right and duty of Congress
to determine when and upon what condi-
tions the rebel States shall resume their
normal connection with the Federal Gov
ernment and be entitled to their represen-
tation in Congress-. -- -s.
ReSolued, That the immediate and uncon-
ditional admission of the Senators and Rep
resentatives from the rebel States, with
their increased representation in Congress,
and without further guarantees to secure
the rights of the freedmen and the loyal
citizens of those States, would be unjust to-
wards the people of the loyal States and a
grievous wrong to those entitled to our pro-
lection, who have stood by the Govern
ment and been faithful to the flag through
out the rebellion. t.
Resolved, That recognizing in Congress
q body OF faithful and devoted champions
of constitutional liberty, truly rejecting
and representing the wishes of their con-,
stituents, we shall look to them, in co-oper-'
alton with the, President, to initiate and
perfect such measures as shall secure to the
States in rebellion the admission of Rep
resentatives to Congress upon such terms
as will be just to the North, that shall pro-
tect from wrong the loyalists of the South,
as will secure to all men the equal enjoy
ment of ''life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" - .7,..
Resolued, That his Excellency the Gov
ernor be requested to transmit copies of
these resolutions to the President and to
our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress. . Haa
