THE C0CKNKY.

By JOHN q. SAKE.
II was in my foreign travel, ttJt
Alta famous Flemish inn,
That met stoutish person
With very ruddy skin;
And his hair was something sandy,
And was done in knotty curls.
And was parted in the middle,
In the manner Of o girls.
He was clad in chequered trousers,
And his coat was Of a sort
To suggest a scanty pattern,
1t was bobbed so very short,
And his cap was very little,
Such rs soldiers often use;
And he wore pair Of CATERS,
And extremely heavy shoes.
1 addressed the man in English,
And he answered in the same,
Though he spoke II In fashion
That I thought little lame;
For the aspirate was missing
Where the letter should have been,
But whers'er II wasn't wanted
He was sure to put II I'M
When spoke with admiration
or st. Peters mighty dome,
He remarked, "'Tis really nothing
To the sights we ave at 'omep
And declai ed upon bis honor
Though, OF course. twas very queer
That he doubted IL the Romans
'Ad the hart Of making beerl
Then we talked Of other countries,
And he said that he had heard
That Hammericans spoke lIinglish,
But he deemed II quite habsurd;
Yet he felt the deepest hinterest
In the missionary work,
And wsuld like to know II Georgia
Was in Boston or New York.
When left the man in CATERS,
lie was grumbling Ger his gin,
At the charges of the hostess
or that famous Flemish inn;
And he looked very Briton,
$50, methinks, l see him still,
As he pocketed the candle
That was mentioned in the bill

Secretary McCulloch has instructed
special agents of the Treasury Depart
ment operating in the South to inform
all persons in their respective districts
who have subscribed to the so-called
Confederate cotton loan that the Gov
eminent considers such cotton as the
property of the so-calied Confederate
States, and is, therefore, liable to seizure
and con6scation.
