NUMBER 10.
a Poem In the EAOmeriC style.

On pine wood shed, in an alley dark,
where scattered moonbeams, shining
through a row of tottering chimneys, and
an awning torn and dropping fell, strobe
back and forth, with stiff tense>drawn
muscle and peculiar tread, a cat. His
name was NorTai; on yonder neighborins
shed his father fought the cats that came
in squads from streets beyond Dupont, In
search of food and strange adventure.
Grim war he courted, and his twitted
tail and spine upheaving in fantastic curve,
and claws distended, and ears fatty pressed
against head thrown back defiantly, told
of impending strife. With eyes a-gleam,
and screeching blasts of war, and steps as
silent as the falling dew, young Norval
crept along the splintered edge, and gazed
moment through the darkness down,
with tail wagging triumphantly.
Then, with an impression and growl,
in direct vengeance hissed, he started
back, and crooked in body ike letter 5,
or rather like U inverted, stood in fierce
! expectancy.
Twas well. With eye>balls glaring
and ears all aslant, and open mouth in
which two rows of fangs stood forth in
sharp and dead conformity, slow up
post from out the dark below, a head ap-
peared.
A dreadful tocsin of determined strife
young Norval uttered then, with facs
unblanched, and moustache standing
straight before his nose, and tail flung
wildly to the passing breeze, stepped back
in cautious invitation to the foe.
Approaching the other, and with pre-
parations dire, each cat surveyed the al
vantage of the field Around they walked,
with tails uPlifted and back high in air,
while from their mouths, in accents Kissing
with consuming rage, dropped brief but
awful sentences of hate.
Thrice round the roof they went in
circle, with an eye upon the foe intently
bent then sideways moving, as is wont
with cats, gave one long drawn, terrific
savage yell, and buckled in.
The fur few. A mist of hair hung
LE-,, - e Il. High 'bove the din of
over the UitItIc IieIu. r. 5rooIf,I +nrnpIr
passing wagons rose taaiI when ,,1-.,e,,I;,,,-
of the strife and battle of the sII0z.-
cats. So cleaned their eyes in frenzy,
that to me, who saw the conflict from q
window near, nought else was plain but
fiery stars that moved in orbits most &C.
centric.
An hour they struggled in tempestuous
might, then faint and fainter grew the
squalI Of war, until all sound was hushed.
Their went 1 forth with lantern, and the
field surveyed. What saw II
Six claws-one ear-of teeth, perhaps
handful; and save fur, nought else
except a solitary tail. That tail was
| Norvars-by ring l knew't. The ear
was-but We'll let the matter pass. Tho
tale will do without the ear.

A FREEHoLDER.-A gentleman who is
rather given to story telling relates the
following:
When [ was a young [ spent several
years in the South, residing for while at
Port Hudson, on the Mississippi river. A
great deal of litigation was going on there
about that time, and it was not always an
easy matter to obtain a jury. One day l
was summoned to act in that capacity,
and repaired to court to get excused.
On my name being called | informed
his Honor, the Judge, that | was not
freeholder, and therefore not qualified 10
serve.
"Where do you reside ," inquired the
Judge.
81 am stopping, for the time being, at
Port Hudson"
"You board at the hotel, presume 7"
81 take my meals there, but l have
rooms in another part of the town, where
lodge"

eyes SIR"
''How long have you lived in that man
ner 2"
''About six months
''I think you are qualified gravely re-
marked the Judge ''for / have never
known a man to keep bachelors hall the
length of time you name who had not dirt
enough in his room to make him free
holderi The court does not excuse you" !"

WHAT He THoUGHT IT WAs.-A pas
senger by a night train on the Hudson
River Railroad tells the following: The
train was detained at Greenbush for a
little while, and, while waiting, cattle
train came on the other track and stop
ped. Such noise has seldom been heard;
the cattle beloved, the sheep set up =
bleating, and the hogs grunted, until the
passengers were nearly crazed.- One old
fellow had slept for hours, but this noise
awoke him. Rubbing his eyes, he listen>
ed in amazement. ''Good heavens !"
says he, whats this I" Peering into
the darkness without discerning any thing,
and listening more critically, he at last
satisfied himself, and set the passengers
roaring by the exclamation. 'sWhy, this
must be political convention

A BACHELOR on SLEIGHING. Things
matrimonial are sour grapes to old bach
elordom sleighing is matrimonial kind
of thing; at least good deal of IDatri~
mony has always followed closely on the
heels of good deal of sleighing. An old
dried up, shriveled up, hard rp old chap.
whose heart never experienced the divine
afflatus that comes with love, thus talks
of sleighing:
''If you meet couple, one of whom is
a female and the other amt, and the one
that amt is trying to meke figure IS Gu
The snow with a whip, and squirting b.
bacco juice into the circles, while the NO
man looks straight ahead or leans a little
t'other way, it may be safely set down as
a man and wife of some standing. If two
youthful heads are bent down over sonts
pretended curiosity on the robe, while
the horse has the getting along left wholly
to his discretion, this indicates the first
symptoms of a softening of the heart snd
generally of the brain
"When you meet dashing par, with
team that is equally on the dash, rib
bons twisted all around the drivers arms.
with very long whip in the socket, they
may be set down as somebody else's wife
taking an airing with somebody else's
husband
''W hen you see blooming young wild
ow smuggling up to beaver overcoat like
a sick kitten to a hot bgick, this means a
wedding-thafs if the widow can only
have her way about it. And so on"

the skins off. the apples, core them, and
Law them in deep dish. Beat the whites

ABOUT So.-Some people keep their
sterling worth in all changes of fortune
others, if changed in condition, lose their
characters. Bars of gold are less priced
than diamonds, but gold reduced to dnst
is valuable, while diamond dust is alDess
worthless
