An Alliance correspondent Of the Canton
TO- Repository relates the following:
Some days ago there was a dancing party
given for the benefit of the Fenans. on the
outskirts of the town, and several OF the ladies
present had little babies, whose noisy pervers-
ltJ required too much attention to allow their
mas to enjoy the "hop." A number OF gallant
young men volunteered to guard the infantry
while the ladies engaged in the break down"
no sooner had the mothers lett their cherubs in
the hands of the mischievouS wreEches, than
they stripped the darlings, and changed their
clothes, giving the apparel of one to another. =
The dance over, the mothers each took, as she
thought her own baby, and hurriedly left the
scene ofgaieties and started TO their homes, sew
eral miles apart, being far on their way HON
before the peep O day" On the following
day there was a tremendous row in the settle-
menG. Mothers discovered that single night
had changed the sex of their babies, and then
commenced some of the tallest female pedes-
trlanism. Living miles apart, it required two
days TO unfix the little cnerubs, and will re-
quire as many weeks to restore the mothers TO
their natural swe dispositions.

INDIAN Pony Trade.
A Bonham correspondent of the Houston
(Texas) Telegraph gives the following account
The Irdians are all quietly holed up on the
other side of the river. The pony trade is
stagnant Do you understand this pony trade?
1t is very brisk during the winter and sum
Iner A brave viii come over, say TO PARIS
with one and lmetimes two or three noble
ohargers-horses full twelve or thirteen hands
high, with haggled names and oalf-eaten tails,
and sell them, especially when in philan-
thropic and singing mood, for three or four
dollars head. This is temptingly cheap
You buy; the brave goes home, but takes no
money back with him-takes nothing back but
the recollection of abundance of fun Now
Indian ponies love their old range like ducks
do water. After solourning awhile and doing
good service in cattle-driving and otherwise
they begin to long for the dear scenes OF home
at the first opportunity they revisit those dear
scenes Their former owner greets them with
JOY, and IN short time brings them to Bon
ham and re-enacts his Paris conduct. The po-
mes soon re-enact theiI conduct. Next time
the brave goes to Sherman, and the same re-
suits follow. This is all fair An Indian pony
is worth more than three or four dollars, and
by process Of a few sales brings his fair value.
1t is a kind of forced hire. The purchasers
keep their animals just long enough to remu-
nerate them. Sometimes when an Indian is
"bad off" pony may be bought for quart Of

POET NJ v
Love in "a Cottage.
ny N. p. WILLIS,

They NAV talk of love in a cottage,
And bowers Of trelhsed vine,
Ofnature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids half divine.
They may talk of the pleasures of sleeping
In the shade of spreading tree,
And walk in the fields az moROnS
By the side OF footstep free.
But give mo o sly filtration
By the light Of q chandelier,
With music TO play in the pauses'
And nobody very near;
Or q seat on a silken SOFA;
With glass of pure Old vine,
And mamma too blind TO discose' ltk
The small white hand III iiihe'
Your love in cottage gets hungry,
Your vine is a nest for Mes,
Yonr milkmaisl shocks the graces,
And simplicity talks Of pies.
You lie down to your midnight slumber,
And wake with bug in your ear;
And your damsel that walks in the mornine
Is shod like a mountaineer. ats ia
True love is at home ON carpet,
And nightly likes his ease,
And true love has an eye for dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing Is the fan of a lady,
His foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipped with jewel,
And shot from silver string.
