To Hon. d. Chamberlain.


Does Mr.. Hayes recollect how
Henry Clay, when lie was in " ash
ington, onre had some fun with
a goat2 NJ? Then we will tell
him. Mr.. Clay observed a knot
Of street Arabs on pleasurable
thoughts intent gathering round
a goat that was DOING in the sun
ana rolling an old boot like aswcet
morsel under his tongue. What's
up, boys ~ he said aflably. "We'rc
a-going to have some fun with the
goat" replied the nrchins. The
great Wing statesman looked up
and down the street; no one was
in sight. He loved fun, but had
never enjoyed 1t in connection
with a goat. "Boys," said he, al
believe will have a little fun with
that goat, too; how do yon get it
out of him ?'' "Grab him by the
horns," exclaimed a boy; and with
the divine confidence of Robinson
Crusoe or a Mason Of the thirty
third degree, Mr.. Clay seized the
goat. 1t was a powerful goat with
an abiding love of liberty, and 1t
was pretty doubtful for while
whether the goats horns would
come of, or Mr.. Clay's arms be
torn out of their sockets. " Boys"
painted Mr.. Clay. "boys--what-
do-T--d0-next?" "Do next!"
replied the boys, taking refuge
behind lamp posts, ash.barrels and
similar fortrcsses, "why let go
of them horns and run ike blazcs"
Mr.. Hayes's dilemma has got two
horns, like the goat. He had bet
ter let 70 of them both and " run
like blazes. ."--World.
