A Precaution, Pat Murphy my footman desirous to suit, And so quick on his errands to ro; Hud walked till he fairly had worn inlu3 bootr A little round hole in the toe. Next morning I saw him intently at work (I scarcely could ask him for laughter,) In the heel he was boring a liole with a fork "Why Pat," says I, "what are you after?"" "Faith master,"" says he, "you tlio reason shall know, The cause I dont wish to conceal : 'Tis to letaiVthe wet that comes in at the toe jtlun immediately out at the heel." Mrs. Itoval treats her readers of the Paul Pry, with a sketch of the members of Congress. The following is her description of the members- from some of the Western Stetes: ! Ohio. O, Dear! Our country too t There numbers are in the way. Here are 000's, how many os? Weknowno't; and some are worse than nought. Ohio may boast of her numbers, but when she has done that she has done all. Excepting Senator Ruggles, Messrs. Kennon, Thompson Leavitt, and Creighton, they had as well send- so many "Coons such another set of blue diminutive men we would have supposed could not be pushed out of the State. A poor specimen,indeed of the g r o a t west- This is the beauty of money religion. They were hard run, indeed, to send an ostler (no disgrace, however,) to the Senate. Whoever wishes to see Shakspeare's glavcring smile, let them look at Senator Ewing, Mr. Ruggles is a very amiable and very gentlemanly man, and hates tracts, though he went for the bank. Hon. J. Thompson is a little bluish, but none to hurt; he is worth his weight in gold to Ohio. So is Mr. lyennon. Mr.-Leavitt we do not know, but lie voted well. Mr. Creighton is the only genteel, man in the .opposition. Louisiana. We littvc often mentioned (he members from this state, and have only to remark that Senator Waggaman and Hon. Thomas are all that are worth naming. Both these are high-minded honorable men. Indiana. This state is well represented. She figures quite respectable in tho Senate and in the House. All staunch republicans, though Mr. Boon, (the saucy rogue,) voted for the Bank, after we had tried so hard to make him be a good boy. . Mississippi. It would tako up a wfiole paper to give this state its due. But as we will occasionally recur to one of its members,-Mr. Poindexter, wc shall merely remark of this man that he is not only a. dis grace to- America to his state but to the human race. What could possess Mississippi ticket a mar. -who is bankrupt in every thing that can be called human? Think of the infamous wretch, with a real hangman's countenance, (he married here the woman must be in great need of a husband.) docs tot drive his carriage and two in tlic morning, and his coach and four in the evening!!!, and two sonants in livery, the only livery we ever saw. Even the dogs of the city showed their indignation. He conceited he was actually a lord, or just upon the point ot being one. It is said he got a part ot the money from Dunn- We will attend to the gentleman again, and hi3 mid5hipman. Air. Ellis is, on the contrary, a pattern of every tiling that ennobles man, and so far as we know, was faithful to his state, and thrice worthy her confidence. He is a firm republican. , Mr. Plctiuex, the Representative, is on every account equally entitled to the thanks and confidence of his constituents. He is a young man of very engaging and elevated manners, and very handsome personal appearance. To these advantages Mr. P. joins a well stored' mind, and a high sense of lienor. Upon the whole he ranks amongst the first men in Congress, or out of it. We are told be is a fiae speaker but have not seen any of his speeches. We are sorry to hear this gentleman has some thoughts of declining are-election. This would be a groat pity. Illinois. This beautiful state is likewise well represented. The Senators are men of ability and talents, though it appears Mr. Robertson went for the bank, though wc have not the yeas and nays before us? Mr. R. however, is a republican, a good speaker, and a gentleman of splendid appearance. Mu. Kean has been a Senator for some time. He. is a small, handsome, and very pfcusiat una, and a genuine republican.

Missouri. We arc now amongst tlic steam-boats, though Senator Benton, compared to them, is a 74; and though, we are not an admirer of Mr. Benton's mannersjby any means, we are a great admirer of his talents. No language that we are mistress of can give an idea of his reply to Mr. Clay, on tiro Bank veto; such was the force and power of his language, we forgot he was a man. His words rolled in torrents, mingled with thunder and lightning, transfixing the

liatners to their scats it was a succession of electric shocks. He scattered Mr. Clay's arguments to the winds like chaff. Mr. Clay was no more in his hands than a kid in the paws of a lion. He was so bold and earnest that every avenue of the Capital resounded. It was by the merest accident (calling on Mr. Kean) wo heard him, and but the latter part only of his speech. Senator Buckxek is a very pleasant man, liberal and gentlemanly in his manners, and a Jackson man, but he would vote- for the Bank, all we could say to him. Putting this Bank down wc trust will make many an lioncstman. General Ashley, the representative, is a keen sensible man, and though he voted for the Bank, is a faithful representative and an industrious member. Excepting poor unfortunato Ohio, the Western States are better represented now than at any time heretofore. Wre are oppressed with applications to reform tlio officers and clerks in the Senate and House of Representatives. The rr.orLE must do this ! ! I they must elect honest members, or why do they elect any at all. The Doctor against his will. The Grand Duke Boris Gudenow, who reigned during the years 1597 and 1005, was very much afflicted with the gout. At a certain period, when he suffered very severe pains, he caused it publicly to be proclaimed at Moscow, that he would reward with extraordinary favor and great riches tho man, whoever he might be, who would relieve him from those pains. It seems that no one voluntarily appeared to earn the favor of the Grand Duke; and, indeed no wonder, for a doctor had his whole existence at stake in those times, in Russia, if his cure failed upon some high or noble patient; and Gudenow was in the habit of making the surgeon, as if ho considered the latter as an absoluto master of nature, responsible for the result of his art. The wife of a certain bojaar, or counseller, of the cabinet, who received very harsh treatment from her husband, took the advantage of the public edict of tho Grand Dukey to revenge herself, in a cunning manner, on her cruel husband. She therefore had the Duke informed, that her husband possessed an infalliable remedy for the gout, but that he was not sufficiently humane to impart it. The bojaar was immediately sent for to court, and strictly examined; the latter declared by all that 'was holy, that ho was unacquainted with any such remedy, and had not tho slightest knowledge of medicine. But oaths would not avail him ; Gudenow had him severely whipped and confined. When shortly after, he was again examined, he repeated the same declaration, adding, that this trick was probably played upon him by htswiie; the Duke had him whipped tho second time, but more severelv, and threatened with death, if he did not speedily relieve him from pain. Seized with terror, the bojaar was now entirely at a loss what to bo at. He promised to do his best, but requested a few day3 in order to have the necessary drills gathered. Having with great difficulty, had his request granted, ho sent to Ozirbak, two days journey from Moscow, in order to get thence all sorts of drugs which were to be had there. He sent a cart load of them, mixed them all together and prepared herewith a bath for the Duke, in the hope of his blind cure proving successful. Gudenow, after having used the bath, really found somo relief, and the bojaar had his life spared him. Nevertheless, because he had known such an art, denied his knowledge of it, and refused his assistance to the Grand Duke, the latter had him again thoroughly whipped, and after being entirely recovered, he gave him a new dress, two hun dred rubles, and eighteen slaves, by way of a present. In addition to this, he seriously admonished the doctor never to be revenged on his wife. It is said, that the bojaar, after this occurrence, lived many years in peace and happiness with his spouse. English Paper, Baron Trexck. Tho famous Baron Trenck, it is known, had an armor with the youngest sister of Frederick the Great; and to this the unrelenting barbarity of the King is commonly attributed. He escaped from Glatz, and took service successively with the Russians and Austrians. Many years atterwards in 1751, as he was passing thro' Dantzic, ho was treacherously given up to the Prussian government, and was sent to the fortress of Magdcnburg. Here he was confined for nearly ten years, with circumstances of the most a ggravatcd cruelty. He was placed in a deep dungeon, loaded with irons of sixty eight pounds weight, almost starved to death, and finally tortured, being awaked during - his slumbers every half hour. This overwhelming misery however, did not break his spirits; assisted by the pity of the soldiers who guarded him he contrived to send letters to Princess Amclia, and to other of his friends. By this means he obtained money with which he bribed the soldiers to procure him files ami other tools, as well as lights, pens and paper. His various attempts to escape are very curious, as well as the hurculean labors he went through in the progress of them. Suffice it to say, not one of them was successful; but that he was finally released towards the end ot uie year 17U3, partly by the representation of the Princess Amelia, and partly in consequence of having succeeded in bribing the Imperial Minister at Berlin, who demanded his liberty as an oliicer of the Austrian service. He afterwords pass-

rd a turbulent and discontended life, always engaged in law suits and discussions respecting the succession of his cousin, Francis Trcnck, which ought to have descended to him, but was by treachery and chicanery improperly usurped by others. He became at different time a wine merchant, an editor of a newspaper, and an author of German poetry. At tho commencement of the French Revolution he came to Paris, where ho was guillotined during the reign of terror.

Useful Member of Society. Tin Missouri Republican gives the following offhand description of a candidate for Congress: "We have not much to say of Master Birch his history may be packed in a nutshell; ho has been an editor of a paper, without readers; an advertising attorney without clients; a country candidate without voters; and a politician, without knowledge or prin ciple. 7 . This same master Birch made a stump speech against the protective system, in which he said: "A tariff is a cartel plenipotentiary, and a cartel is a writing or agreement between belli ge rants!'. Tho editor of the Republican thinks his stylo a little too aldeberontophoscophomiochrononhotunthologistical for common fo)ks. A Substitute. General Dalzel passing by a sentinel at Portsmouth, the fellow complained that ho wanted shoes " 'Tis very fit you should have a pair," says tho General. Thereupon he takes a piece of chalk and chalks out a pair of shoes upon the sentry box.. "There's a pair for you, adds he," and goes his way. His back was no sooner turned than tlio soldier chalks out a man standing sentinel, and then goes his way. The General, presently after, was surprised to meet the fellow in the town, enquired, with severe threats, how ho camo to leave his post. "Sir," said he, "lam relieved" -"Relieved! that's impossible at this timo of day. Who's relieved you ?" "One, I'll answer for it, that wont leavo his post," replied tho soldier. Hereupon tho General goes with him to the place, "there sir," says tho fellow, "if I am to look upon this as a good pair of shoes, you must own that is likewise a very good sentinel." Amiable Fidelity. A young gentleman paid his addresses to a young lady, by whose mother he was unfavorably received. "How hardf said he to the young lady, "to separate those whom love has united." uVery hard indeed," replied she, with great innocence, at the same time, throwing her arms around his neck, "and so mother will find it." Political love and hatred. The unhappy state of party feeling exhibited in this country affords a striking illustration of the following remark of the Rev. John Wesley, "I know they that love you for political service, love you less than their dinner; and thev that hate you, hate you worse than the devil." Patronagc An Inn on the great road from Boston to Vermont, was some years since kept by a wag who had the reputation withal of keeping a very good tavern. One morning a countryman drove his team up to the door, and feeding his cattle from the wagon, entered the house saluting Bonifaco with, "Good morning Squire, I never was in your house before, but I hear you keep a main good one, and I mean to pat ronize you. Won t you draw U3 a mug of cider, will ye?" Tho traveller then produced his pack and taking from it a quantity of bread and cheese, cold meat &c. washed it down with mino host's cider. The repast finished he goe3 to the bar "Spose you dont charge any thing for cider the first time a man calls, do ye V"- Boniface who as wc have before said was a piece ofa wag, told him he did not. "Well then throw in a cigar, cant ye? lighting his long nine. Jonathan got ready for u start, hut before going, "Hquire" said he "you do keep a prime house, and I'll give yo the name on't." Thank you sir. "Yes," said Jonathan more and more pleased with his host, "and I'll send all my acquaintance here, when they travel this road." "No, no," said Boniface "'don't for G d's sake, your acquaintance would ruin a man in six months. The most confirmed drunkard we ever knew, was an old man in the land of pumpkins, who possessed the greatest of all possible abhorrence for 4 Anti-temperance. Having drank nine mugs of cider at a neighbor's house one evening, ho concluded to leave offin the pure denial by taking another. "I believe neighbor T." says old Guzzlefunction, that Til take another draft of your cider I do like good cider, as well as any body, but as for swilling it down as some people do, I never could! Camden S. C. Journal. Rather Tough A writer in the St. Clairsville (Ohio) paper, tells the following rather tough story as every word true ; "In November, 1827, then living in Harrison county, Ohio, I killed a small hog and dressed it on the face of a large red oak stump. In the March following, I observed most of the bristles left on the stump from dressing the hog, to be stilting into the wood endways and on pulling them out, I found to each bristle two or three roots from a half to three fourths of an inch long, having actually commenced a vegetable growth." The writer of this curious piece of natural history, must be the same man of whom it is told, that on a certain time when slaughtering a hog in the woods, he lost his jack knife, which dropped among tlio dried leaves; and in the following summer, hap-

pening to pass tho same placr, he was sur prised toeee a large bush covered with jack knives, which hung impending from the stems like fruit!

Prodigy. An Irishman recommending an excellent milch cow, that she would give milk year after year without having calves; because it ran in the breed, as she came of a cow that never had a calf. '.
