Behind her Langs a hood Jas: level with her chin. An Indian squaw might find it good T o put a baby in. Os her hair she shows the root*. Sham flowers the rest conceal; And she's eripp’.ed by her boots With the military heel: Streets off you hear them stalk Whene’er she ventures oat; And she seems to waddle more than walk. Her hoops so sway alwut. Her figure may >•» good. But that no eye can tell; A mere lay-figure would Show off her dress as welt She inky have ankles neat, But they re concealed by skirt, V hich chiefly serves to hide Lee feet, And gather up the dirt.

I nave never been able to ascertain the caase of the quarrel between the Crickleys and the Drakes. They have lived within a mile of each other in Illinois for five years; and from their first acquaintance, re had been a mutual feeling of dis...i between Use two familes. 0;:c evening, Mr Drake, the elder ware'urning home, with bis ‘pocket full of rocks' from Chicago, whither he hat b *ti to dispose el a load of grain. San. Esrston » as with him on the wagon, and as they approached the grjve which intervened, he observed to his companion: •What a beautiful ehot Colonel Crick hys old roan is, over yonder? 'Hang it." mattered old Drake, ‘soil is. The uorse was standing under some trees about twelve rods from the road. Involuntarily, Drake stopped his team He glanced furtively around, then w ith a queer smile the eld hunter took up his rifle from the bottom of the wagon, and raising it to his shoulder, drew a sight on the Colonel's horse. ‘Beautiful, inuttered Drake,’oTrcrin'* ■ - . . , , t 1 • Ins rifle with the atrof a man resisting a powerful temptation. ‘I could drop old Boan so easy!’ •Shoot’’ suggested Sam Barston, who loved fun in .-.ny shape. •No, no. ’iwonldn't do.’ said the old ■ hunter, glancing cautiously around him again. •I won’t tel!,’ said Sam. •\k ail, I won’t shoot this time anr way,' tell or no tell. The horse is too nigh. If o •;e was fifty rods off instead of twelve, so there'd be a bare possibility of mistaking bitn for a deer. I’d let fly. At it is I’d give the Colonel five dollars for a shot.’ At that moment the Colonel himself stepped from behind a big oak, not half a dozen paces distant, and stood before Mr. Drake’ ‘U ell, why don't you shoot;' The old man stammered out tome words in confusion: ‘That * you, Colonel? I—l v?as tempted to, I declare! And as I said I’ll give you s ’ V ’ for one pull. * "Say an ‘X.‘ and it's a bargain?’ Drake felt of hi* rifle, and looked at old Roan. •How much is the horse truth?’ he mut tered in sam's ear. • About fifty dollars ’ •Gad Colonel, I'll do it Here’s your X! The C-lonel took and pocketed the money, muttering—‘Hanged if 1 thought you’d take me up.’ ; AVith high glee the old hunter put a f’-.-sh cap on hit rifle, stood up in his wugoa, and drew a c'om sight at old Roan f. . n Bar-tor. ebtsck'. d. The Colonel put i > hands before his f,.ce aad chuckled 100. ‘Crack!’ went the rifl". The hunter tors o‘"t u horrid oath, which I w-j? n<n

repeat. Sam was astonished. The Colonel laughed. Old Roan never stirred. Drake stared at Lis nfle' with a face ablack as Othello's. ■What’s the matter with you, hey?— Fust time you ever sarved me such a trick I swau" And Drake loaded the piece with great indignation and wrath. 'People said you'd lost your knack o’ shooting.' observed tbe Colonel, in a cutting tone of satire. •Who said so? It’s a lie!’ thundered • Drake. ‘I can shoot’— •A horse at ten rods! ha! ha?’ Drake was livid. ‘Look here, Colonel, I can't stand that! ' be began. ■Never mind, lha korte can,’ sneered I the Colonel. ‘l’ll risk you.’ Grinding his teeth, Drake produced another ten dollar bill. ‘Here,’ he growled, I'm bound to have another shot, any way.’ ‘Crack away,’ said tbe Colonel, pocketing the note. I Drake did crack away—with deadly aim, too —but the horse did not mind tbe bullet in the least. To the rage and unutterable astonishment of tbe hunter, old Roan looked him right in the face, as if he rather liked tbe fun. ‘Drake,’cried Sam, ‘you’re drunk! A horse ata dezen rods—oh, my eye!’ ‘Just shut your mouth, or I’ll shoot you!’ thundered the excited Drake. ‘The bullet was hollow, I’ll swear.-— Tbe r.sn lies that says I can’tshoot. Last week I cut off a goose's bead at fifty rods , and I can do it again. Colonel, vuu can laugh, but I'll bet now, thirty dollars, I ;can bring down old Roan at one shot.’ The wager was readily accepted. The stakes were placed in Sam’s Lands. Elated with the idea of winning back his two tens, and making a ten into the bargain, , Drake carefully selected a perfect ball, and even buckskin patch, and headed the I rifle. I', was now nearly dark, but the old hunter boasted of being able to shoot a . bat on the wing by starlight, and without 'Hesitation be drew a clear sight on old Roan’s bead. A mmole later, Drake was driving through the grove, the most enraged, the most desperate of men. His rifle, innocent v.etim of ire, lay with broken stock in the bottom of the wagon. Sam Barstor; was too much frightened to laugh.— Meanwhile the gratified Colonel was roll- ■ ing on the ground convulsed with mirth, and old Roan was standing undisturbed under the trees. When Drake reached home, his two .sons discovering his ill-humor, and the mutilated condition of his rifle-stock, hastened to arouse Lis spirit* with news, which they were sure would make him dance with joy. ‘Clear out” growled the old man. ‘I j don’t want to hear any news; get away or • I shall knock o e of you down.!' ! ‘But father, it is such a trick played off on the Colonel I* ‘On the Colonel?’ cried the old man, beginning to be interested. ‘Giad if you’ve played the Colonel a trick, let’s i hear it.’ ‘ ‘Well, father, Jed and I this afternoon went out for deer ' I ‘Hang the deer, come to the trick!’ i ‘Couldn’t find any deer, but thought we must snoot something; so Jed banged away at 'he Colonel's old Roan—shot i him dead? ‘Shot old Roan?’ thundered the hunger, ‘Jed did you shoot the Colonel’s old i boss?* I didn’t do anything else.’ 'And then,’ pased Jed, confident the i joke part must please his father,’ Jim and . I propped the horse up, and tied his head back with a cord, and left him standing under the treejust as if Le was alive. Ha ha! Fancy the Colonel going to catch him! Ho! ho! wan’t it a joke?’ Old Drake's head fell on his breast.— He felt of his empty pocket-book, and looked at his rifle. Then in a rueful tone he whispered to the boy—‘lt’s a joke! But if you ever tell of it —or if you do, Sam Barton—l’ll skin vou alive! Pre been shooting at that dead horse half an hour, at ten dollars a shot.' At that moment Sam fell into tbe gutter. Sam had laughed himself almost to death. ‘Mother mayn’t i have the big Bible in your room? Yes, my son; and lam glad to see you desirous of perusing that book.

THE GLOBE: THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS I PUBLISH now my annual Pro-pectus of The Daily Globe, and The Congressional Globe and Appendix, i.o remind sabacribers.j and inform those who may desire to-■ibscribe, that Congress will meet on the first Monday of next December, when I shall recommence pu > lishing the above named papers. « hey have been published so long that most public men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of matter thev will contain. _ , The Daily Globe wi 11 contain a report ofine Abates in both branches of Congress as taken down bv reporters equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this or an v other country. A majority of them will, each, be able to to”report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken bv fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hnudred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than fortycolumns they shall appear tn the Daily Globe of the next morning, r. L ch will contain, also, the new- >f the dav. together with such editona. articles as may'be suggested by passing events. It is abomy intention, from time, a- occasion mav require, to publish my reminiscences of the public men with whom I havebeeu associated during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes of General Jackson,and the leaders of the party which he conducted, and the leading men of other parties, will, I believe, be interestmgnow when partisan bitternesshas abated. In becoming the reporter cf the debates of Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the G!o& would never I* a partisan paper. This pledge will no. oe forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of 0.0...:ter which distinguished the public men of mv time. Although! am. and intend to remain, a thourough democrat, I will never obtrude my p i-rip'...- i;. -way to make t’ueiv obnoxious toany party But in regard to persons andeveuts which go to make up history. I hope to make the Glo'oe at* hanest .tnorr; and w:.li that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. ’ The Coxgressioxal Globe axd Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress,! revised by the speaker-, the messages of the Pre-'dent of the Ut :ted States, tin; annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, | the laws passed during the session, and copious indexes to all. They will be printed onadou- • ble royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto s:z*. each number containing sixteen pages. The . whole will make, it is believed, 3,3 '(» and 3,932 pages, as the longsessious for many y ear* have ranged between those numbers, and the text session will be what is termed a “long one.” — This I telieveisthe cheapest work ever sold :in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript eopy. taking for data the average umber of words of the long session since the rear 1843. The average number of pages is 3.876. and the average number of words eu a -:. . - of words of a long-ession is 9,29',772. As I have sold to subscribers that numberof word’ for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cent* for every 10 word I have furnished them, while I havepaid my reporters | 29 for every 2,397 words, of ; this work, in tnann-cript’ Ha- any ether bo>kseller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first instance, while it wa- new, at so low a -ate? I believe not; and so Strang is my belief that I ' hereby agree to give to anv p.-rson who shall i . prove th ■ contrary a complete --t ' the debate- ; running back to 1833. mak -:g forty-thr-e ! quarto volumes, which sellfor $5 a volume. An <e‘ ■f C > gres- authorizes these papers to go by mail free of postage. The next session will be, without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it will be the first under a new admttiistralion, and several complex questions must be niscussed in it—for example, the currency. Kansas, revenue, and other questions. The Glob» will be a-heretofore, the only s ocrce from which full debates can be obtained.
