ttr n i i mi in r ' <-■ him— ii NAT HARRISON; —OR,— Tbe Representative from Hamilton. BY HAZEL GREEN, ESQ. 'ln early day old Nat Harrison was elected to the Legislature from this county, said an old fellow, as we were all seated around the stove, in the little hotel at McLeansboro,’ Hamilton county, Illi-, nois. ‘Old Nat was a regular old brick. He was elected just because there was no one to run against, him. Our county was rather bad; off fur intelligent people in those days. A. few days after old Nat had gone to Springfield, to attend to the duties ofhis office, I happened there also, on some business of a private character, and thinking he would be glad to hear from the folks at home I concluded to call on him at the ‘Prairie House,’ and, inquired after,his health.’ ‘l’ve been well, Tom,’ said he, but 1 got awfullv scared the first night 1 staid in this ere darned place.’ ‘How was that?’ 1 inquired. ‘Well,’ said Nat, ‘l’ll tell you all about it. You see that feller there behind the , counter —the fellers, here call him the i Most —well, I told him 1 wanted to see my i bed, so I’d know where to sleep when I come in after & while. He took me up stairs to a little room, and said I could sleep there, and then he went down. I took good notice of it—brown door, with yaller streaks here and there—and a white yearthen lock-handle. I started down, a ihinkin about this, and 1 woudn’t i look at no other door, for fear I get em kinder mixed up in my head, and then forget which was mine. About twelve o’clock that night I come in with a kind of half grown hummin' in my head, and , the very first thing 1 found at the top of | the stairs was my own identical door, with the yaller streaks and white lock-handle. ‘Good!’ says I, and in 1 lumbers. I walks up to the bed, and what do you think?. Why, 1 finds one of your long lagged, black whiskered town fellers in it—fast | asleep. I takes him by the beard, rears 1 him up on his eud, and gives him a short sarment —tells him to leave as quick as double triggers or I’ll be d <1 if 1 wouldn’t kick him down stairs —tells him I don't want to do it nuther, for I am a member of the Legislature —the Representative from Hamilton —but if I git to fightin he’d find me to be a full team.— The feller looked orfully scared, and ■without sayin a word he got up very humble like, and started for his dry goods, which hung on a chair up in one corner. I sot down the light and begun to undress; and says I to bitn, 'Draw on them duds and toddle from here, or I’ll be cussed if I— ’ turning around at the same | time to look fierce at him, I sees hiu> a comin at me with one of the drottedest butcher-knives in the world. ‘Well,’ thought I, ‘Nat you’ve got yourself in a close place, by Jingo!’ and so we begun to lumber around the room like the very nation. Here I went, and here he come. At last I got between him and the door, and out 1 shot. ‘This beats all h—ll.’ said I, ‘a Representative to the Legislature treated in this way.’ I went down stairs and told the feller behind the counter that some cuss ' wfis in my room. lice i v o> j g Uegs no',' said | ie ; ‘perhaps Dawsr ■ ■ ■ . , e is some mistake--your room is nuniwas ca. ... J forthor jiTimksl there may be some mistake; h' r ,affd so 1 goes baqfi, When I got up to the top of the stairs 1 began to count at the first door, and on till I had counted eight. 1 found that they all looked just exactly alike. 1 opened the eighth door and went in, feeling certain that it was the one picked out for me. A candfcr burning on the table, by the light of which 1 saw tliat some person was in the bed.— Not feeling inclined to kick up another fuss, I concluded to crawl in with him and say nothing about it. In a very short time 1 was in bed and ready to go to sleep. 1 had not been in bed long before the door opened, and a young man and woman came into the room and took seats by the candle stand. ‘Something else on hand, Nat,’ thought I to myself, ‘but let em up ’ They looked very serious at first’ but finally it wore off, and they got to chatting very lovingly, and to huggin and kissen a little. I was delighted with the performance, and thought the feller in bed with me ought to see it. and enjoy the fun to; so I whispered to him — ‘Say, Captain—old boss' jest look up.’ They both started up, like a shocken mill had touched cm, and they seemed to fc be orfullv scared, tiTl the gal said, ‘it was W only the wind blowin agin the winder. They soon got to huggin and Li»siu

agin, and as I could not rouse my friend 1 thought I’d jest have a little fun to myself. i 'Slips,' says I, jest as they was afetchi ing their lips together, and up they sprung ■ like lightning and loped for the door: but, as fortune would have it, the young feller had dropped the key, and he couldn’t ’ git out. I ‘Never mind,’ said I, ‘its fun for me as I well as you. I love to see sich things a goin on. This seemed to scare em more than ! ever. It was rich—soo rich to enjoyed a-1 lone, ami sol determined to wake up my bed-feller: 1 slapped my hand on his ehin—it was as cold as ice. 'Thunder and St. Louis, Nat,’ said I, ‘you’re in j bed with a dead man,’ and without wait-1 ' ing to consider the matter 1 sprung to ! the floor. The youngsters gave a loud (iinll fetched agin the closed door, and 1 pitched with em, which resulted in .mashing the darned thing open. Without waiting for’ ceremony or formalities we all bolted for the stairs. Hearing (the racket, the landlord who occupied a room still further back, came bolting after us. Catching a glimpse of him I took him to be the dead man, and so I put all the steam on, and ran close in the wake of the lovers. I could not pass them, however, for they were frightened out of their senses, having no idea but i1 was the decease in close pursuit. In ; this condition we all tumbled promiscu- j lously down stairs into the barroom. ‘Now let’s go and take somethin, old boss, said Nat, 'but don’t say anything I about this when you get home, or Sally may be uneasy about me.’ Be Modest. , There is a call upon mankind to value and esteem those who set a moderate price upon their merit; and self-denial is I frequently attended with unexpected bles- ; sings, which in the abundantly recom- ' pense such losses as the modest seem to [suffer in the ordinary occurrences of life. Then the curious tells us, a determination m our favor or to our disadvantage i made upon our first appearance, even i before they know anything of our chari acter, but from the intimations men gather from our aspect. A man, they say, wears the picture of his mind in his conI tenance; and man’s eyes are spectacles to Mis, who licks at him trrread his heart. Bu> though that way of raising an opini ion of those we behold in public is very fallacious, certain it is that those, who by their words and actions take as much upI on themselves, as they can but barely de- ' tn Bnd in the strict scrutiny of their deserts, will find their account lesson every I day. A modest man preserves his character, as a frugal man does his fortune; if either of Uiem live to the height of either, one wilf find losses, the other errors, which he has not stock by him to make up. It were therefore a just rule, to keep your desire, your words, and actions within the regard you observe your friends have for you and never, if it were in a man’s power, to take as much as he possibly in preferment or reputation. In the tragedy of Macbeth we are wonderfully taken with the skill of . the poet, in making the murderer take fear to himself from the moderation of the prince whose life he was going to take away. He says of the king: ‘He bore his faculties so meekly;’ and justly inferred from thence, that all divine and human power would join to avenge his death, who had made such an abstinent use of dominion. All that is in a man’s power to do to advance his own pomp and glory, and which he forbears, is so much laid up against the day of distress; and pity will'alwaye be his pu-tion in adversity, w|io acted withgentliness in prosi perily. Manifest Destiny. Will Central America be annexed to this Republic? is a question which is ' much discussed in all quarters now-a-days and one which is of no small interest to 1 the thoughtful mind. Judging of the fu- ■ ture by the past —which Patrick Henry said was the only way to Judge of it—--1 we should say that Central America will soon be ours. The ineradicable instinct L of the race—or races—of which we come is to garb everything-within their reach, ‘ and go in search of what lies beyond it.— ‘ This is the truth, and there is no use at--1 tempting to gainsay it. The Central Ar mericans must either exterminate us, or we shall ‘nbsoru* them. It would be a tyrannical outrage to bo sure, but it will 1 be done, nevertheless. , . . .g—»... ■— A far-seeuig teatontabie being asked the meaning of sy•ax, wittily replied: i I'hc t.iv unchaste p*y targeting drunk.
