ATwo LEGGED LAMB.-A correspondent
at Westfeld writes us, under date of April
23d, as follows:
Having seen many reports in the Ag'tator
of wonders. both in the vegetable and animal
Kingdoms | take the liberty to transmit you
the following, which admit Is rather tough :;
"Charleton Phillips, Esq, of the town oi
West6eld has lamb about two months old;
In the extreme cold weather which we had
some time since, the lamb unfortunately was
frozen, so bad, at all events, that both hind
legs rotted off, close to the body: The lamb
as matter of course, was now IN very SAD
predicament; but however, after many truit-
less endeavors, it hit upon the following SIN
gular mode of locomotion. The lamb raises
itself upon its fore feet, with the body at an
angle ofabout forty-five degrees, and in this
novel position it walks and runs with appa-
rent ease. 1t also stands in this position
while feeding, and, strange as it may seem,
il will run as fast as any sheep in the flock.
The ease and grace with which it poises its
self, in its nearly upright position, would do
credit to mountebank. "-Er

Once our Fathers held convention,
Guided by George Washington,
And thought that would mention,
What noble work was done,
They had fought the Revolution,
On the glorious Union plan,
Now they asked a constitution
Founded on the right of man.
CHORUs-F0unded on the rights of man
Sages, less than inspiration,
Show better if youca
Thirteen colonies united,
Independence for to gain,
And to each their faith they plighted,
That they would their part sustain,
On many hard and bloody field,
Till the bird of golden feather,
Perched upon their battle shield.
CHoRUs-O the good old constitution, &c.
But the contest now was ended,
And the country peace proclaimed,
Liberty had been.defended,
And nation born and named,
Now each State claimed independence
As the prize for which they fought,
And no one should have ascendance
But all have the boon they bought.
CHoRUs-O, the good old constitution, &c
Some were bordering on the ocean,
And had commerce on the sea,
Others had machines In motion
Humming with their industry,
But the most were sturdy yeomen,
Hardy tillers of the soil,
All they asked of friends or foemen,
I. Was the fruits of honest toll
CHoRUs-O, the good old constitution, &c.
How to bring each different section,
Into perfect harmony, q.
And give each their due protection
And to all true liberty, I, .s a
Was the work before our sires,
To blend the many into one
With the wisdom God inspires,
Was the noble wonder DONE
CHoRUs-O, the good old constitution, &e-.
Now began the nations glory,
The starry banner floating high,
Let her greatness tell the story, -,
Onward, ons1ord was the cry,
Onward, on IN each direction,
And the watchman's cry was 'swell, y
Till the cursed black infection,
Broke the nation magic spell
CHoRUs-O, the good old constitution, &c
Ruin raved with blood and thurder,
And for years has held the s,way,
But we makea mighty .,fnnder, ss5 &. &
If it has not lad is day.
Q, ye sons of roDle sires,
Now arise, me crises meet,
Fan the flames Of freedom fires,
Make the victory complete
CHoRUs-Oi the good old constitution
And its laws they yet shall own,
Wen have southern restoration,

lodgings, she found in a bureau drawer of her new

She probably knew Of the existence of law in
Paris, making it penal ofense punishable with
Imprisonment, or the galleys, to use anything
the owner might be discovered. Mrs. M IN
scrupulously negotiated the shares, realizing
10000 francs. This sum supplied her extravagant
wants for four months, and was spent in dinners,
drives, and gayety generally The beautiful queen
OF pleasure procured also many new dresses and
some Jewelry. The money was exhausted, when
the loser of the stock by accident discovered who
had negotiated the shares.
He demanded reimbursement; the lady denied
all knowledge of the transaction. But the fraud
was proved she was tried and sentenced to St.

hands never before condescended to do more than
