AN EMIGRANT'S FIREWELL.

Farewell dear Scotia's shore, farewell
An exile far from thee ] roam;
But. tho in distant lands dwell,
I'll sigh for thee, my native home.
Nae MAR I'll climb the brecken lea,
OR wander thro' thy fowry dells,
Or Ger thy braes, VII careless glee
I'll gather bonnets and blue bells
Nae MAR the thistle waves for me
On rocky steep its tasseled head
Nae mair the yellow broom I'll soc,
Or tread DER hills VII heather spread
Nae MAR, sweet Teviot-gentle stream
When on thy waters moonbeams play,
I'll loter on thy banks to dream
OF future JOY and by-gone wac
Nae mair upon thy graves I'll weep
The sad yet soothing lial tear;
Yet, treasured in my soal, I'll keep
The memory Of my PARENTS dear
Tho seas divide, each wsll-known scene
Around auld Hawick wsel I'll mind
Tho fairer landscapes greet my cen,
Yet ano nlair dear / Gamma find
But, ali the friends love and leave,
] Gamma say to thee farewell;
The sad word makes my bosom heays
WI rising sobs Gamma quell.
Tho others may around me thraw
The rays of friendships cheering smile,
Yet frae my heart they Gamma draw
The dear ones left ia Scotia's isle.
Scotland, companions, friends, farewell
An exile far from thee l roam;
Yet, tho in distant lands ! dwell,
My heart shall turn to thee and home.

sible, knuckle of veal, and boil all together
in q gallon Of water, with little salt. Clear
it of the scum, as it rises, and have ready a
quart of split peas, which have been soaked

The ends of belt should always be cut
on square, not guessed at by the eye, but
ialo OH with tool. The holes ought to be
made with small punch at proper dis
lance from the end-the size. of the holes
ana the distances of them depending on the
width OF the belt. The use of an awl is
reprehensible, for the holes are apt to be
made irregular by it, and much larger than
there 1t need of. The end of the lace should
be tied with square knot in the middle of
the outside, for the corners of the belt
where 1t is cut are most exposed and apt to
whip out. Tieing a belt lace does not look
so neatly as where the ends are put through
an incision, but tieing saves the belt from
having extra holes made in it. The laces
ought to be Of the same thickness from end
to end, or as nearly so as possible 1t often
happens that laces have very thin spots in
them; such should be kept for short belts,
and never used for long ones. Moreover,
the holes must be made at equal distances
apart and not too many of them; every hole
weakens the belt, and none that are not
absolutely essential should be cut. All new
laces, as we'll as new belts, should be
stretched by hanging weights ON them before
they are used-petroleum, sawdust, resin,
and similar substances should never be
used. When belt gets harsh or dry,
neat's-foot oil is the best thing to apply
to II

SLIGHT OF UMBRELLA--MOns. Hermann
gave his last audience in Dayton specimen
of s' slight of handa not in the bills. The
chief objection to 1T was that the striking
feature was not visible to the public. He
was about to show how q lady's handkerchief
could be rent into strips and be returned in
perfect condition. A lady lent her hand
kerchief for the purpose, and Hermann S
assistant deliberately tore it to pieces Ito
all appearances YMeantime Hermann had
seized an umbrella for the purpose of show
ing that there was no handkerchief inside.
Unfortunately the assistant had given him
the wrong umbrella. The audience greeted
the faux pas With shouts of laughter, The
dismayed assistant rushed off the stage,
pursued by the hot prestidigitateur. Di-
rectly the curtain went down, and a series
of blows were heard. There seemed to be
fight behind the scenes. Some of the
ladies in the audience were frightened, but
the gentlemen thought it rather a good joke,
though disappointed at losing that part OF
the exhibition After considerable delay
the curtain rose again, and Hermann, con-
| siderably hgitated, proceeded with the show.
1t leaked out yesterday that when the show
man rushed off the stage, Hermann damned
his unlucky assistant with the umbrella nm
til it was disabled for all future ssslight OF
hand" performances. The assistant pro-
fessed regret for his slack performance, and
Hermann declared he was !" Never go mooch
mortify in his life," adding, g If ] have
been in New York shall have shoote my
self, l so much mortify" The lady received
her handkerchief after the performance

CAUGHT legislature of Oregon dur
ing its last session passed an act compelling
barber-shops to close business at 10 o'clock
A. NJ. ION Sundays. This has given rise to
many practical jokes; among the best is
this: A few Sundays since the governor of
the state stepped into barber-shop about
$50 A. NJ, and placed himself in a chair TO
be shaved, AT the same time giving his boots
to the boy to polish. The barber lathered
his excellency's face, the boy brushed on
his boots. About the time one hall the ex-
ecutive beard was shorn, and one boot sat
isfactorily polished, the clock struck 10.
The brush dropped from the boys hand and
the barber began hastily to place his instru
ments on The shelf The governor desired
him to proceed. Can't do it, Mr.. Gibbs; the
Sunday law is in force, was the reply. And
in spite of his protestations, the governor
was obliged to leave with one side of his
face unshaved and one boot covered with
dust.

THE New CRIME OF 6 MUZzLING. These
g muzzlers'' stand on corners, as a general
thing. They are separated and apparently
skylarkihg among themselves. :, Suddenly
one OF them falls down and rolls himself
against the pedestrian, who also must fall.
The other confederate is, soon on the
top of the latter, when he is down, and as
quick as flash places, his hand upon his face,
presses his nostriis together with his thumb
and forefnger, and covers his mouth with
his hand His cries are thus stifed, and the
unfortunate pedestrian is almost smothered.
While this is done by one, the others go
through the mans pockets and rife them of
their contents. This takes some three or
four minutes, during which time the victim s
breath is shut off. When the muzzlers get
through, the victim is so used up, exhausted
and unconscious that he is unable to give an
alarm, let alone pursue the robbers He is
obliged to lay there few minutes until he
RECEIVERS himself which allows the muzzlers
an opportunity to escape. Albany ~, T.

COLONIAL AND IMMIGRATION SocI-
ErY.-Agreeably to appointment, the
Senate, at 2 o'clock Yesterday. re-
ceived the officers and directors of
the Colonial and immigration Com
pany, of which Maj Gen. Thomas is
President.
BY request, Senator Bosom ex-
planned the object of the association
in brief but eloquent speech, in
which the advantages to the State
were set forth. He was followed by
Senators Thompson, Carrigan, Cate
and Cypert, all of whom spoke in the
highest terms of the object of the
company, and gave many reasons for
encouraging the same. They were
followed by Maj. Gen. Thomas, who
explained the means at the disposal
OF the company to introduce colonists
and laborers to develop the heretofore
hidden wealth of the State. He
thanked the Senate for the courtesy
extended to the officers and directors,
and hoped that ere long they would
see the practical working of the com
pany in the development of the re-
sources of Tennessee, the settling up
OF her waste lands, and the employ
ment of skilled laborers in evcrv
branch of agriculture throughout the
limits of the State
This is not political organization,
but one i'll which oil can join, the
great, grand object being the i'm
provement of our own lands, and the
development Of our inexhaustible
mineral wealth, which is unsurpassed
by any State in the Union.
