JOSH BILLINGS AND ARTE
MUS WARD.

4
We don't believe, says the Troy On. "
Fudge {, Josh Billings ever wrote anything
prettier or more touching than the follow
| ing. We don't believe that philosophy
was ever better united to the tenderness of
grief. 1t is poetry in dishabille; 1t is the
heart of an honest man in yellow plush:
"Josh Billings to Artemus Ward,
Deth has done q cruel thing lately. Deth
seldom is imparshall this liz all that ken be
sed in his favor. He moves his sithe swl
round the world, now in this field, now in
that; wheat, flowers and weeds drop, wilt
and wither, for he .ithe. early and late, in
Cit and town, by the harth stun and away
oph where the wanderers are.
Deth has done cruel thing lately
Deth is seldum kind. Here father,
mother, wee small thing, but month on
visit; that Mary and Charley GO down, in
white clothes-Deth moves; menny fields
are all bare, for Dcth cuts cluss as well as
cruel
Dsth luvs to NOV; It's his stils He is
old, and silk with his sickle; he moved for
Abel of old and for Abel of yesterday
Dcth mows strangely, and round fall the
daisy and grass, and alone, snarling, stands
the koarse thissel, left for what? Deth
haht tel, lOr OOu only KNOWS.
Deth, yu hav dun cruel thing lately: WI
hav moved where the wittiest one ov them
awl stood, whoze words hay gone iafflng
awl over the world. whose heart waz as
good and az soft az q mothers.
Deth, you hav moved where my friend
Artemus stood, and Humor wears mourn
ing now for the child of her heart. l am
sad and l am sorry
Writing to us, continues the Budqet.
Josh says modestly, as if an apology were
necessary, II cannot write epitaphs in nv
style, and if don't use my style, nobody
will Thank me for the effort. II man
| stands on his head once, he has got to stand
on bis head the balance of his days. We
can't put on the cap and ever wear the cit
zens dress again. This is the misery that
fools suffer when they would like to quit
| playing the fool and creep In among sensi-
Bile folks. Artemus was kind to me once
and that is enough for me. had rather
have slice of mans heart than 70 have
his bank account.

The Eufala he1os, under the heading
1.-Two Big STATES After a Little One"
thus humorouslY speaks Of the proposal
to unite a portion OF Florida to Alabama
I" From the way some of the Alabama
and Georgia papers are talking, il seems
that the little peDinsular state of Florida
is about to be gobbled up by Georgia and
Alabama. The scheme Of a~nneXing
West Florida TO Alabama has long been
an open question and though the peO-
pie of that state n C spurned the propO-
sition with all the disdain that a board
ing school miss Of sixteen would spurn
a loving swain beneath her station, yet
the Pensacola Observer thinks it not so
certain that the people would reject it if
referred 10 them now Alabama is a
noble and gallant state, and if our pretty
little sister wants to marry she'll never
have a better chance. Its true the ar
dent swain is just now under the weather
a little; but, then, 'Flory is not much,
if any, better OIL, and We should be de-
lighted to see the loving pair join hearts
and haRds in adversely, and rise superior
TO all the hardships, opposition and op-
preston of their cruel PARENT, Uncle
sam.

LONDON, April 9, pm.-It is now
known that Napoleon, deeming the pos
session Of L%uxemburg indispensable for
the military security Of the French
frontier, not long since commenced ne
gOtiatiOns with the king OF Holland for
the purchase Of the Grand Duchy and
its Incorporation with the French En-
pire; but as the fortress Of Luxembourg,
which is n Of the strongest in Europe,
was held by a Prussian garrison, aud the
Prussian government was backed by the
whole of Germany, who firmly objects
to the transfer Of the Duchy 70 France,
the king of Holland has withdrawn
from any further negotiations on the
subject, and the French emperor insists
that his proposition shall be carried out
and the treaty completed The pride OF
France has been deeply wounded. snd a
wild Rnti-Prussian feeling has seized the
country, aud in the meantime while the
dispute is pending, both Prussia and
France are making military prepsra-
tions. This threatening state of affairs
is the cause of the financial panic which
now exists in London, Paris and all the
principal cities Of Europe.
