The man whose ghostly shadow seems A long and narrow line Who cats and drinks, and growcth not, Like Pharoh's evil kine!

He walketh in the market-place Amidst the stirring throng A locomotive skeleton g The bony and the long Like some wire-moved anatomy lie passefh by alone And men will pause, as if to hear The clash of bone on bone !

WESTWARD HO! Is the title of the 25th No. of "The Library of select Novels," Publishing by Messrs. J. J. Harper of N. York. It is in 2 vols, and written by that sterling son of Momus Mr. Paulding who has cured more people of dispepsia by writing "The Dutchman's Fire Side, " than Irving can lay claim to, in producing " Knickerbocker," though either may vie with Ifalstead in banishing the Blues from New York, and making the place too merry for hypochondriacism. Paulding is an American of whom his countrymen should feel proud and not only them, alone, but all who speak the language he writes in, and can enjoy his racy humor, and chastened hilarity. We predict that "Westward Ho!" will be much sought after in England; although there arc portions of the work the point of which will be in a measure lost there, from the imoranee of many of the peculiarity of idiom, and singularity in manner, of thousands of our Backwoodsmen. To show the varied style of the Author, we select at random two or three extracts : The first will show his power in describing the scenery of the "Far West." Old Countryman. "One of the most novel as well as en chanting scenes in Nature is the prairie, or delta, extending to a distance of many miles between the two great rivers (Mississippi nnd Missouri.) It is for a considerable portion of the year one sea of flowers, one wide sea of flowers, one wide region of fragrance; and its features differ from those of any other lands in any other country. Not a tree is to be seen except upon its outer edge, and I the blue horizon meets it every where, forming a long straight line, without the least appearance of irregularity or undulation. As you ccst your eyes over it, it is all one series of deceptions. Sometimes, owing to a particular state of the atmosphere, or the po sition ot the sun, distances and objects are increased or diminished like the vagaries the phantasmagoria; tnings that are near vdl appear as if at a great distance, and lise at a distance at other times seem as if yVcould almost touch them.

li'Athc hindlord of a w:nu' lacr:

-ii'i-

c;His dress displayed innumerable incongruities, being composed, or rather decomposed, of the remnants of many fragments of finery, eposterously disposed about his person. .Js coat had been once military, the rusty buttons bearing the vestiges of our national symbols, the soaring eagle and the thirteen stars: his waistcoat was of embroidered satin, with old-fashioned flaps, sucli as might have once appertained to a player; his trowsers of homespun tow linen, and his shoes, but of these little remained, for his wanderings had left his feet almost bare. On his head he wore an old cocked hat, ornamented by a wreath of evergreens and faded flowers', and something lake a star of tin was fastened on the breast of his coat. The landlord accounted for his military costume by the circumstance of his having exchanged his former clothes with a worthless discharged soldier, who had cheated him. The features of the peripatetic, tho' haggard, squalid, dirty, and almost hidden byan enormous bushy beard, still wore the remains of an aspect of some interest. The worthy host affected to take no notice of the intruder, and cont inued to discuss the various subjects of war, commence, agriculture, manufactures, matters which every man within the limits of these United States understands, at least as well as the mother that bore him. They were, however, interrupted from time to time by the man of rags, who, without raising his chin from his crossed arms, or his arms from his stick, now and then made a strange random observation, as he seemed to catch and comprehend a portion of the conversation between Leonard and mine host. Thus, on hearing the .words domestic manufactures, he chuckled forth an odd dry laugh, and pointing to his trowsers, exclaimed in a hoarse hollow voice, which indicated that he was laboring under a severe cold, 'Look! I am a great advocate for domestic manufactures; a black spider spun and wove these; they were stitched with the needle of the compass that pointed nine

ways from Sunday. Don't you see every stitch squints a different way?' Just then a musquito settled on his hand, which he caught, and squeezing the blood out of his body 'Good? musquitoes are your true insect soldiers; they live by blood. Huzza! boys, I shall conquer the whole nation one of those odd-come-shorts, and make every gallinipper a field-marshal.' Then, approaching nearer, he asked the landlord, if he could tell 1 lim the reason whv cats washed their heads with their tongues, and ran after their tails.' On his replying in the negative, the ragged Theban exclaimed most, contemptuously 'Tut! then go and twist your gray beard into a rope, and hang yourself on a sugarcane, as I mean to do as soon as mine grows long enough. You see I am nursin it, daddy. I sleep all night in the fields with my face up to the moon; they say it turns fish rotten, and men's brains upside down; but I don't believe a word of it, or I should have been mad long ago, instead of being a philosopher. But what was I saying? O! I sleep with my face turned up to the moon : they say it's made of green cheese, but I doubt that, for it would have been about my ears long ago in a shower of skippers. You'd be surprised at the queer tilings I see up in the stars there, sometimes, when every one is asleep; some think they govern men, but for my part I go by the moon when it shines, and when it goes down I strike fire with two Irish potatoes, and study philosophy till my eyes turn into dark lanterns, and will-of-the-wisp leads mo into the mire. Ho i was a blind dancing-master once.' 'Dont pester the gentleman with your nonsense, but go about your business; go to sleep, that is tho best thing you can do.' 'Sleep! Landlord, did you ever sec a goose stand sentry on one leg, to keep itself awake? that is your true reason: a philosopher must have a reason for every thing. Do you know why a goose always stands on her left, and a gander on his right leg'?' 'Diablo 1 not I,' answered mine host, petulantly. 'Then how dare you to talk to a philosopher, most ingnorant publican, and justly classed with sinners? I saw your fate in Mercury last night; you'll bo hanged for feloniously robbing a cask of your own whiskey, and filling it up with water." to an Indian whito man named, Bushficld, who has a moral antipathy to living in a city, understands shooting better with a rifle than the use of a knife and fork, and has all the independent teehng, and (mamtness of speech for which very many in the newly settled sections of Missouri aro proverbial: "The habitation of the Indian white man, as the slaves called him, was simnlv a lo cabin, the appurtenances of which were barely sufficient for the purposes of eating and sleeping. The forest supplied him with food, such as is considered the most delicate among the disciples of luxury ; the skins of the deer and the bear furnished him with bed and and clothing; his rifle was his purse; his powder and shot his ready cash; r. .1 1 I .1 I. r. lor muy uuurucu mm tiie medium ot exchange for every thing which they did not themselves enable him to procure in the surrounding forest." Bushfield liad a person with him named Kainstord who has dwelt in "civilized soof I ciety:' between whom tho following - n confabi lation occurs Stranger,' said Bushfield on occasion of tho other missing a squirrel which was crouching at the summit of a tree of moderate height, and which had been resigned to him as an easy shot; 'stranger, I reckon vou haven't had the advantage of being raised in tho woods, any how; why, I could have brought down that squirrel with both eyes shut, let clone one 'No; I had tho misfortuns to hr brought up in a city, where nobody carries un,

'Nobody cany a gun! why, w hit do they carry then, a dirk?1 'No; the young gentlemen sometimes carry a switch about as thick as uiy little fin-

rrcr. supposing they were to come right face to fuce'with a bear or an Ingcn? what a might v figure they'd cut.' 4 Yes; but there arc neither bears or Indians to fear.' 'Sure that's true enough; fori remember when I went home to North Carolina, to see the old place, I'll be fhot if there wasn't a little varmint of a town built right smack on the spot that used to be one of the best deer stations in the whole country. I couldn't stand that, no, that was too bad, so I cut a stick and made tracks, and came back to my old range ; but they won't let a feller alone where lie has plenty of elbow-room and I begin to think of leaving here soon, and carrying a trail across the Mississippi, any how.' 'Why so?' 'Why, I'll tell you, stranger. I'ts getting too dense hereabouts.' 'Dense?' 'Yes, tliQ people are getting too close together, they haint elbow-room Why, do you know there's a feller has had the impudence to locate himself over yonder within three miles of me. I saw the smoke of his chimbly tothennorning, and heard a strange dog bark; so I tracked the feller, and put it to him if he wan't ashamed to come and disturb tho peace in this neighborly manner, Bym-by, says I to him, a man wont have room to turn around here without hitting somebody's elbow, and the upshot of the business Is that cither you or I must cut a slick and quit this hunting-ground, or Fll see if I can't make you, anyhow,' 'Well, and did he cut a stick?' 'Not lie, the rantanckcrous squatter! ho said he had as good a right there as any bear or wolf that ever broke bread; as good as 1 had, that had been in possession here ever since old Rogers Clarke licked the Inens so beautifully. I'm a considerable IT old feller now, and followed close on the trail of old Boone, and it's a mighty pretty piece of nonsense if I haint a right to the country about here, as much as I can throw a stick at; and I wish I may be dragged head foremost though a thorn-hush, if this interloper shan't clear out pretty considerably in a tiurry or i n oc down upon mm iiKe an wrath, anyhow. I'd as good a mind as I ever had to shoot a wild deer, to have a fight with him oil the reel, and settle the right of soil at once; but then I bethought myself he might listen to reason some other time, and so 1 told him I'd give him till next month to make tracks, or make up his mind to get a most allmity licking, if nothing els e.

WAR DEPARTMENT, Pension On ier, Washington, October th, rnIIF. number of applications for Pensions under the recent Act of Congress already exceeding 12,000, together with the ktate of the health of this city for some time past, has prevented the examination and decision of these claims with as much speed as is anxiom'y de. sired by the Department, and as is due to the services and snlferingaof these meritorious vet erans, entitled to the bounty of their country. When it is recollected that these claims contain a minute statement of facts by the applj

cants, embracing their whole rcvo utioiury service, together with sucli corroborating proof circumstantial and direct, as they are able to collect, and that all these are investigated and compared with ti e rolls and other records of the Department, and that this process is necessary tYirly to establish just claims and to prevent the granting of fraudulent ons, and that nothing will ensure the latter object but the most careful examination and rigid scroti, ny, some idea may be formed of the time and labor requisite to eiTect these objects. It is impossible to go on with the current business of the ofHce, and to answer all the letters, as they are received .
