From the DsUwrt Gazette. SPBIXTCr. Hail beautiful Spring, bright emblem of childhood, How sweet to nay soul are the blessings you bring, When-away mid the flow'rs of valley and wildwood, I mingle with minstrels of nature that sing. How blest, at the hour of noontide, to wander

Alone on the banks of yon silvery stream; Or recline in the 6hadeof the sumach, and pon der, On moments long mellow'd in memory's dream. How delightful to dwell on the scenes that have shifted Since Spring broke in beauty on bo) hood's day, And the blest dreams of happiness time'3 tide hath drifted, From the bosom of manhood in fragments away. Gentle Spring, at thy shrine I bow down in devotion In thy blooms and thy blossoms a lesson I read; Ev'ry rose as it buds, blooms and dies gives emotion, And reminds of decay and time's hastening speed. MILFORD BARD. DR. JOWrSO,VS PUDDLXG. Last summer I made an excursion to Scotland, with the intention of completing my series of views, and went over the same ground described by the learned tourists', Dr. Johnson and Boswell. I am in the habit of taking very long walks on these occasions; 81 perceiving a storm threaten, I made the best of my way to a small building. I arrived in time at a neat little inn, and was received by a respectable looking man and his wife, who did all in their power lo make me comfortable. After eating flime excellent fried mutton chop?, and di inking a quart of ale, I asked the landlord to set down and partake of a bowl of whiskey punch. I found him, as the Scotch generally are, very intelligent, and full of anecdote, of which the fol lowing may serve as a specimen: "Sir," said the landlord, "this inn was formerly kept by Andrew Mac gregor, a relation of mine; and these haid bottomed chairs, (in which wc are now sitting) were, years ago, filled with the great tourists Doctor Johnson and Boswell, travelling like the lion and jac kal. Boswell generally preceded the Doctor in search of food7 and being much pleased with the look of the house, followed his nose into the larder, where he saw a hue leg of mutton. He ordered it to he roasted with the utmost expedition, and gave particular orders for a nice pudding. Now, says he, make the best of all puddings. Elatt-d, with his good luck, he immediate!) went out in search of his fneud, and eaw the giant of learning slowly advancing on a pony. imy dear Sir, said Boswell, out of breath with joy, 'good news! I have just bespoke at a comfortable clean inn here, a delicious leg of mutton; it is now getting ready, and 1 Halter myself that we shall make an excellent meal.' Johnson looked pleased 'And 1 hope,' said he, Hou have bespoke a pudding.' 'Sir, you will have your favorite pudding' replied the other. 'Johnson got offthe pony, & the poor animal, relieved from the giant, smelt his way into the stable. B swell ushered the Doctor into the hou?e, and left him to prepare for his delicious treat. Johnson feeling bis coat rather damp, from the mist of the mountains, went into the kitchen, and threw his upper garment on a chair before the fire; he sat ou the hob, near a little bo), who was very busy attending the meal. Johnson occasionally peeped from behind his coat, while the boy kept basting the mutton. Johnson did not like the appearance of his head; when he shifted the basting ladle from one hand, the other hand was never idle, and the doctor thought at the same time he saw somethii g fall upon the meat, upon which he determined to eat no mutton on that day. The dinner announced, Boswell, rxclaimed, My dear doctor, here comes the mutton, What a picture! dene to a turn, and locks so beautifully brown! The doctor tittered. After a short giace'Boswtll said: 'I suppose I am to carve, as usual; what part shall I help you to? The Doctor replied "My dear Bozzy I did not like to tell you before, but I am determined to abstain from meat to day 'O dear! this is a great disappointment,' said B 'Zzy. "'Say no more; I shall make myself ample amends with the pudding." Boswell commenced the attack, and made the first cut at the mutton. 'How the gravy runs; what fine flavour ed fat, so nice and brown too. Oh, sir, you .would have relished this prime piece of mutton.'' 'The meat being removed, in came the long wished for pudding. The doctor looked joyous, fell eagerly to, and io a fw minutes nearl) finished all the pudding! The table was cleared, and Boawtll said: 'Doctor, wnih'T was eating the mutton you seemed frequently iaclined to

laugh; pray (ell mo what tickled your fane) V 'The doctor then literally told him all that had passed at the kitchen fire,

about the boy and the basting. Boswell turned as pale as a parsnip, and sick of himself and the company, darted out of the room. Somewhat relieved on returning, he insisted upon seem the dirty little rascally boy whom h e severely reprimanded before Johnson. The poor boy cried; the doctor laughed. 'You little, filthy snivelling hound,' said Boswell, 'when you Lasted the meat, why did you not put on the cap 1 saw you in this morning?' 'I could'ut sir,' said the boy. 'No ! why could'nt you V said Boswell. 'Because my mammy took it to boil the pudding in !' 'The doctor gathered up h'n hercu lean frame, stood erect, touched the ceiling with his wig, stared or squinted indeed, looked any way but the right wan. At last with mouth wide onen j i (none of the smallest,) and stomach hea ving, he with some difficulty recovered his breath, and looking at Boswell with dignified contempt, he roared out , with the lunus of a Stentor 'Mr. B 'swell, sir, leave offlangbing, and under pain of my eternal dirpka sure, never utter a single syllable ot this abominable adventure to any soul living while you breathe.' 'And so sir,' said mine host, 'you have the fact from the simple mouth of your humble servant.' A ngelo's Hem in isciences. CURIOSITY GRATIFIED. Several years prior to the introduction of steam boat navigation into the western country, three robust boatmen, (foot passengers,) returning from NewOrleans to the central settlement f Kentucky, arrived in the evening at a cabin on the Ouo and called for supper and a night's lodging. The hos' welcomed them, as an earnest of if ; the fried-ham, the fried egus, gravy and coin bread were promptly prepared and adjusted upon, the table, and were as promptly disposed of by the hungry sojourners The a flair being settled, the hurried removal ot pots, benches &c. injunction with other circumstances, seemed to indicate serious preparations for a country dance, which proved to be the fact; the lads and lasses having already assembled and monopolized one corner of the cabin; from which advantageous position, they silently ogled the three intruding strangers, Our pedestrians being weary, proposed going to bed from which the. sagacious landlord took the hint, ad guessing thai they were sleepy, Seized the lamp, and hastily ascending the steep ladder into the loft, invited them tofolbw; to which the) cheerfully assented, by marching up in single file. Having undressed, and stietched themselves upon a pallet of blankets and bear skins, they bade defiance to the goutv t 'llti els of 'downy beds,' and within a few minutes began to sncre bynote. Now, ihe necessary prelude to a country dance being finished, a jolly frontier fiddler tuned his crazy instrument, and with a wild outlandish accornpanietnent of voice, sounding the signal, ik Possum vp the gun stump" the dance commenced with all the tumult and vigour that are usual on such occasions, to the great annoyanceof the drowsy tenants of the loft, who of course were aroused by the noiae below them. However, a3 soon as their recollection was completely awaked, they become composed and agriin laid down. But Johnathan Tbunderboliom, who was a fat short-legged fellow, had danced ! over a potatce hole to the tune of "hoe corn and dig potatoes," too often in his life, to lie still and not see what was going on below; he, therefore, with nothing but his short linen deshabille on, si) ly crept from his nest to a latge aperlure in the loft tloor, some of the planks having been removed, (the whole tloor in fact consisted of short plank;, extending from one joist to another.) From this position he seemed wilh the greatest satisfaction to reconoitre the party, contrary to the admouiiion of his companion?, who insisted that he should return to bed; "but," said he, "sink or swim I'll see what they are doirg. O.V. but damme, see how they prance !" His curiosity still increasing, he drew himself a little further forward upon his belly, to enable him to see those who were in the farthest part of the house from him; but the plank upon which he was lying happened to extend about two feet i ver the joist which supported it, so that the weight of Jonathan's; breast upon the end, (as he was straining to see all that was going on below) instantly destroyed Ihe equilibrium, upturnea tne ninuerena, and down went Jonathan, summerset fashion upon a small bed, that stood unoccupied in one corner of the ball room, and having lit upon the back of his neck and the projecting portion of his broad shoulders, with his heels pointii-c to his late residence, he poised for a mo-

merit in breathless anxiety. The surprise! the consternation! the agonizing screams of the timid lasses, must be

supplied by the reader's imagination, whilst we attempt to relieve our hero, His attitude not being the most agreeable, in the presence of so many wit nesses, he threw himself upon his back, and making a violent elFort sprang from the bed lo ihe foot of the ladder, and ascended to the loft, with the nrecinilate and almost unavailing exertions of atrenclh, that characterise the feats of a lubber, whilst a volley of billingjgatt and loud laughter burst from the astonished crowd, with shoals of"brenk from the fodder stark, Bob, the devil's at your heels!" However, Jonathan crept upon hi3 all fours to the pallet and whispered to his companion?, who were writhing under the convulsions of laughter, "boys! by Gosh, did you see that? but they were in too much torture to speak, and Jonathan having been much frightened declined giving them further interruption, but quietly rolling himself up in his blanket, he was scarcely heard to breathe until the rising sun summoned them to resume their iourney. Knoxville Reg. A Drink it g Association. In New Yoik, twelve individuals once formed themselves into an association for the purpose of whiting away their leisure hours over 'a socn, genteel bottle,' without the knowledge of their acquaintance. All but one have since died. The first victisn, in a fit of delirium, caused by drunkenness, 'illed his pockets with weights, and walked into the river. Another, in a similar derangement, shot himself in the head with a pistol. "Srme others,' says the only survivor, ''swallowed poison, some hanged tin mse.K es, and the last cut his throat, a few months since, and while bleeding and expiring, asked for a glaSvS it gli'!" Thus eleven of the genteel association died by their own hands! In their meetings they had ridiculed the Scriptures, bbphemed the name of the Saviour, and joff.-d at religion. Preparing for the worst. Once on a time it happim d that a poor wi$ht mariied a shrew, who led him a pious lite; she Ml ill, the doetor was called in, and the anxious affectionate husband inquired ot hnn how his dear spouse was; Galen shook his head, and told him to prepare for the worst. What," said he, "is she likely to g t over it?" Electioneering in Missouri. The followmy very pithy address may not bewithout some value to several of our readers, who want 'incite' in the very important science of ''pleasing the people."

Inscription A short time since, in a churchyard in Iiartfordshire, were written on a grave rail the following lines: 'Remember me as you pass by, As j 011 are now so once was I; As I am now so you must be, 1 hertfore prepare to follow me." Underneath these lines somex one wrote in blue paint: 'To follow you I'm not content, Unless 1 knew which way you wtnt' Jonathan's Watch Trade A smart young chap who lives 'aw ay down east,' gives the following account of his first "venture'' after arriving in Boston. "Nothing happened worth mentioning on the road, nor till next morning after I got here and put up in Elm street. I then got out my watch pretty curiously as you shall be informed. 1 was down in the bar-room and thought it well enough to look pretty considerable smart, and now and then compared my watch with the clock in the bar, and found it as near right as ever it was when a fellow stepped up to me and asked how I'd trade? and, says I, for what? and says he, for your watch and sas I, any way that will be a fair shake upon that, says he, Til give you my watch aud live dcilars. Says J, its

done! He gave mc five dollars and I gave him my watch. Now, says 1, give me your watch, and sajs he with a loud laugh, I han't got none and that kinda turn'd the laugh on me. Thinks I, let them laugh that lose. Soon as the laugh was well over, the feller thought he'd try the watch to his ear whysays he, it don't go no, says I, not

without its earned then I began to lauzh he tried to open it and could'nt ! start it a hair, and broke bis mumo nai into ihe bargain. W on t she open, says he?
