Now as the "great orator Of the
West, is fond Of quoting poetry, and
as he may use this quotation to excite
the laughter and admiration of future
audiences, il may be we'll enough to re-
mind him than he has got it badly
mixed up and especially that no has
taken too much poetic license in pro-
~nouncing Hades as a word of n syll-
able, ever to make his MISTER come ont
right. 1.-THE young mar he once heard
Of has been heard of by agreat many
others. The lines which he has just
enough learning to misquote were actu-

They we're first used in q Congressional
speech several years ago by q Tennes-

In simmer cold, in winter hotj
Ye powers above, great God l wonder,
Andrew Jackson, hell and thunder"

somebody ought to supply him with a few choice
lines easily remembered. Such, for instance,

ooh, mighty water
What are you coming down here arter 2"
Or the down Casters address to his beloved
ooh, lovely Connecticut, how long hast thou
Bring ing shnd to South Hndlv, and freedom to
Ian"
Something like these will suit him admirably,
and may be beautifully brought in TO adorn
some Of the ideas he expresses in the naked
honesty Of prosei

allussion to the private affairs ofthe New York
Express. Brooks took advantage Of this to give
Butler one the most murderous castigations
ever administered to a member Of the House
