SEXTIHEXT AND FCX. i 41 A little nonsense, now and then. Is relished by the wisest men."

Knowin that for men uv my profound convickshins, holdin my views ez" to eotisiliashen and eich, I hed5, no call to "go to the Postmaster-General, who is a Ablishnist, I went dreckly to the Second Jaxon hisself. I succeeded in getting a audience late, in the afternoon. Our patron saint wuz a sitin at a table eggsausted with re. ceevin delegashens and sushi ' - Well?'Psed he. 1 Honerd and- spected (sir,?,aid I, 'I am a applicant for the pbstorfis at Oonfedrit X Roads; wich is at present held by a Ablishnist who does not beleQve m yoor poIicy,"wien 1 do beieeve ia solemnly.

Git out, yoo iraposter," and I wuz too wunst ignominiously showed , to the door. I didn't quite understand the lay uv the land around the White House. 1 In vane I tried to git back that I might convince him 1 did ez much for the Honfedrasv ez mv humble abilities permitted, and, that I needed consiliatin ez badly ez anybody. - Then hart broke and dead broke, not having the wherewith" to prokoor more sootable lodgin, I lay-me-' down on the cold stun steps and sought refuge from niy troubles in fsleep, . .-r - -vtt- : I dreamed, ,a , dream.. Methawt ,1 wuz in a room at the White . House. Stretched out on one side uv the room was the corpse ' uv a giant, a monsterrin hize and strength, and withal uv a pleasin presence and fair to look upon." Onto its head wuz a liberty jcap, and by i its side wuz A sword considerably dintedT and ; with all the giltin knocked ofL ? l ".Wat is these?" said I; pointin'to the corpse, askin a sort uv a attendant.-1 "- ')'" "Them,",' replied1 be,;. ilis'the. defunct carcass, uv Kepubllcanism.i " He was a hefty yooth in his day, but he died tlyflinornin' -Look I the mourn ers ate a comin" to 'divideliis clothes."

At the head was the second Jaxon, which the w4bilish.unists;-. derisively... called Moses, who appeared tabe angryjand lost behind him was Seward, a weepi n' out.:uv one eye and a smilin out uv tother 'and Jim Lane,' who hed a bandkerchr - which j he occasionally put to' hi cyes,'but wich I "noticed wuz" -ez dry ez a lime kiln, and Doolittle and Lee and Raymond and Beaure.gard and Cowan ; a nd Stephens and Th-ariow;Weed and Vallandighamand Oov.

The company stood by to see it out, for it made but little difference to them wich got it. ; Iu the skirmage Johnson happened to ram Seward up agin a window on the north side uv the room, and smashed it out! Jest then , a blast uv north - wind poured ; into the 'room through the aperture and blowed onto the face uv the corpse. The effect was elektrikle. Life ran through his veins, his face flushed, and the livid hue was changed to the ruddy glow uv health. The dead wuz alive the giant raised to his feet and looked around him. . shakin off them 'ez wuz1 a hangin' to'nim like insex. . Noticin the trinket wieh. hed caused the skirmage in Johnson's hand he tookhiin by th&'Tieck and twistm it out uv 'his hand, flung him gently throogb the winder.
