 Oh, take me to some wilderness, Far, far away from town, Where turkeys roasted run about. With gravy dripping down; Where people never have to work, As some do, night and day, Where you can get just what you want, And nothing haze t, pay. Oh, take me. friends! oh take me where Hard times none ever cry, Where bread and butter grow on trees, And sausages close by; Where oysters are both fried and stewed. And lots of sour-kraut, Where luxuries of every kind Lie scattered round about. Oh, take me where run streams of wine, Champagne and toddy teo, Where fine cigars lie strcwed about, And folks are never blue; Where grows the most delicious fruit The eye has ever seen, Where sponge-cakes roll from mountains
 down,
 And from every hill ice-cream, Oh, take me to tho land of peace, Where never comes dun, Where people never go.to law, Nor lawyers never come; Where crops are good and never fail, And each one gets his share, Where you can eat, and drink and sleep, Without an anxious care. Take me where wives good humored grow, And ladies never walk With hoops so large one never can Get near enough to talk; Where satins, silks and bonnets all May have full suprly, Where children are obcdient, And babies never cry. r Oh, take me, do! where all the folks Get plenty of clothes to wear. Where fashions never change, and pants Do never burst and tear; Where none do ever oider grow And soon the old are young. Where pain and sickness trouble not, And every doctors hung. Oh. take me, for fn awful sick, Far, far from banks away. Where ne'cr another note II give, Or have Il bill to pay; Oh, take me to some wilderness Where all these ihings are found; Oh. take me. take me quickly, for I'm alui6ss run aground

It referred to charge of fraud-no such charge has been made upon the fioor It alle- ged that the action of the convention would embarrass the present negotia- tions of the company. That was pre- cisely the purpose of the measure adopted. The State has an interest in the road of ten thousand dollars per mile. and forty thousand dollars in gold has been alrcad paid into the treasury of the corporation, of which no account has ever been given. It is the duty Of the convention, as the only representa- tive body now in existence, for the peo- pie of Arkansas, 10 protect the people against the result of these very nego- tiations, until their fair or fraudulent character can be established by proper testimony. 9
 1.-The books" this letter declared, ''werc always open for inspection of any of the stockholders" What indi- viduals hold onerfourth the interest in the road, that is held by the State
 We are told that the investigation will involve great expense. The ordi- nance specially provides that no ex- peuse shall be Incurred by the State. And then the writer proceeds to in form the convention that whenever they shall make inquiries ''i in proper manner,' any required information win be afforded. In proper man. ner!" A secretary of . one-horsc rail- road, that has been proving on the State, without any capital but that afforded by the State, informs the representatives of the people of tho State, that if the application shAll be made in proper manner, the proposi- ton will be considered.
 He moved to amend the motion for a reference, by declaring that the com munication be rejected.
 The communication was rejected yeas 43, nays Is.
 A communication was received from Henry Page, Treasurer of the State relative to telegra,ns received from Gen. Ord in relation to the payment

 Mir. Dale presented resolution in- structing the committee on franchise to enquire into the exrediency of .disfran chising certain parties, disfranchised by act of Congress, etc. l MT. Reynolds moved to lay the reso- ! lution on the table, and called for the yeas and nays.

He owed me four bits, but I forgive him. am truly virtuous and pious man. 1 never want to do such swcarin' any more as I did when 1 heard of his sud- den death.
 fla man wants woman he'd better take the best timber he can find. In courtin' her'it isn't good thing, gen orally, to talk about horse racin' or how well you can play a game of"seven up It is not bad idea to court the old folks about three months and then ta- per off gradually; but if man hasn't got any love about his person, courtin' is sort of scientific game. If a man truly loves woman, though, he don't know any more what he's doin' than a hen with the blind staggers. There's a sort of looseness about him when he goes to pop the question that makes shim feel like faintin every mint.
 As a general thing it isn't best to ask q woman to have you moro than once. If she refused you, it isn't best, either, to do as I have seen some men do, to tell her you were just jokin', or to commence talkin' scandal about her when you get out of doors, or to offer to lick any man who tries to poke fun at you about it. It won't do to lie, fight or steal over it. Better to take things cool. I guess. Some men when they get disappointed take q dose of "cold poison,' others run frog sticker into their throats, and thus end their sor- rows. But, then, that is not healthy no. not if you please!
 Some married women show their anger and disappointment in different ways. Some cry all the time, and won't prepare anything but gutta-pur- cha biscuit and dish-water coffee other lecture all night until they carry their point or break up the shebang, whilst others will go in heavy with broom sticks and frying pans, and leave headache every time they strike But marvin seems 10 be good thing after all. It wouldn't do to stop t, for it pears to me fl it were stopped, tue Democratic party would suffer. The cry of more voters has been ringin in my ears for Il long time. Let her ring on

HoLD ON. MR. DEyIL.--In the early days of the State of Indiana the capital was Corydon, and the annual session of the General Assembly brought to gether as a wild a set of wags as could be found in.thc State, who had to rely on their own resources for amusement as there were but few theatres, concerts or shows.
 The lovers of mischief Rad establish ed mock Masonic Lodge, into which they would entice such as were little green. and take them through variety of ridiculous ceremonies, to the infinite amusement of the spectators.
 On one of these occasions, it being understood that good natured, ath- letic young man, about half simpleton, was to be initiated, the room was crowded; aud Judge Grass consented to take the role of Devil--a character in which he was peculiarly happy. To make the service more impressive, he had put on false face and large pa per cap, surmountcd with horns and with some chains in his hand, placed himself behind screen.
 After taking the candidate through a vagiety afceremonies, he was brought to halt before the screen, and told that he had then to confess all the crimes he had committed during his whole life. The candidate confessed some triva' offences, aad declared that he could rccollect no more. At this the jndge came out from his hiding place, groaned and shook bis chains. The frightene candidate related some other small matters, and declared he had disclosed all fhe crimes he had committed. At this the groans of the pretended devil become furious, the chains rattled and he shook his horns 1 ill the face of the terrified candidate, who, starting back in alarm cried out {!
 .H-h-hold on, Minister Devil tiff I must tell you, Fl did kiss J-J-Judge Grass wife couple of timesv
 The grooming ceased and the devil disappeared.

LABOR THE REMEDY.

We called the attention the other day to the fact that many of the papers of the South are calling the attention of their readers, to the truth that the oniy thorough remedy for the evils that afiiict them, lies in labor The war destroyed an immense amount of material must be restored by the labor of those who are suffering the loss. The following remarks on this subject we copy from the Starkville, Miss, Era of January llth:
 Conceal the fact as we may, it is never theless true, that there is false senti- ment in Southern society in reference to physical labor. It is one of the evils en- tailed upon us by the institution of slavery. With our very children, their first ideas of labor were associated with slaves Direct the child to perform any work, he would almost instinctiyely suggest that there was such and such negro who could do the work. He looked upon labor as degrading, and that the negro was special ly created for that purpose. This idea still exist in our Southern society. All our young men are aspiring to be over seers of the negro. The idea of laboring themselves has never entered inte their calculations. To avoid what looks like labor, they are in search of all 'sbomb- proof situations" They are willing to clerk for food and clothing in preference to engage in agricultural and mechanical labor Of all the young men in thia
 community thrown out of employment by the war, only two or three had the man lincss--the moral nerve--the indepen. dence of character, to brook what they knew to be public sentiment, and engage in mechanical pursuits. What are term ei the ''lcarned professions" are over run with third and fourth rate men, who are common "laughiug stocks" in their paftlCuiat iuc, AuS stiic ASu ihiSHs have made respectable mechanics, and thus subseryed some useful purpose to so- ciety. Far be it from us to detract from the ''loarned professions but equally far from us be that pharisaieal spirit that would turn up the nose of derision' at any branch of useful employment, or would rob of its just need of honor any department of productive industry. The Great Director of the Universe has en- dowed man with physical as well as intsl leetual powers, and thus made labor physical controlled and directed by an enlightened judgment, the great law of our well being, and it is not to be despis- ed, whether employed in making pin, in fashioning boat, or in guiding plough.
 -GaIt is said proclamation will be is sued by the President forbidding all off cers of the army to hold or have any con- munication with Stanton as Secretary oi War, nor obey any orders he may issue Secretary McCullhch has issued an order to the heads of bureaus in his department forbidding them to recognize Stanton as l Secretary of War until bis status in that department Is settled. 1t Is said similar
