The pliMHing ficility with which an old panoramic «how can beinanufacturcd into an entirely now one in aiiumiiifjly sketched by a military hero, rejoicing in the appellation of '''Colonel," who once a ceo in pained Arteuiua Ward in a steamer down the Ohio. The''Colonel" had traveled willi a pictorial show of the Crimean War, and Artemus asked liiin

Tho Russian* did not want much painting to turn tin-in into Secessionists, and we had only to paint out the red-coats of ^theliritish and color them in blue to make the Federals. Scbastopol stood a little too high on the rocks for tho city of Charleston, but we have painted tho rocks down. We turned Balaclava into

Castle l'iu kney, and we had room Enough in the Rluk Sea to slip in a very nice Fort Sumter.

to suppose the Major to le sur\e_\ing

TIIKKK is some drollery always going on around the markets. "The following js the first instance, in tho annalsof tho 5)rawer, where a lobster has been successfully introduced: A man who was fond o( r/ood

lobster, was looking wist

fully at a basket of them, with his dog bv his side, while another bv-st under was sticking the end of his cane into one of the disengaged claws of a big fellow at ho top. "How he d»es hold 011!" said the man wit lit he cane.

Yes," responded the man with tho dog "but it's because ho dent.s tho cane, and his claws won't stick 011 the wood. Hut he couldn't hold on to a critter in that way. When a lobster feels any thing ffirin' he stops pinchin'." "(hiess not," said the owner of the basket. "Yon put your dog's tail in that ere claw, and you'll

he'll hold on or 110:..*' No sooner tid than done. The man lil'.ed up his dog, dropped his tail into th" op* 11 claw, which closed instanter, and the dog ran oil', howling, at the top of his speed. "Hello!" exclaimed the owner "whistle back your dog. Blast him! he's running oil" with the lobster!"

Qm n: useless to attempt to get tho weather-gauge of a Second-Ad vent brother. In Michigan, for instance, dwells a worthy minister of that persuasion, who is tlie fortunate possessor of eighty aerosol land. While conversing recently concerning the nearness of tho Final Day, and the necessity of forgetting the temporal in the infinite, a good Presbyterian brother suggested, sineo the end was so near, that should give him forty acres ot his land, for which not only should his earnest thanks lu given, but the l^ord would impute his generous deed unto him for righteousness. "Besides," added I10, "what is the use of declining, when the change would onlv benefit me a little while?"

No, Sir," replied the good man of the Second Adv.—"»o, Sir! the Lord lias said to me. koarup/ till I come,'

SIT.AKINU of geese, ami December being the month in which they are supposed to be at their best, tho following verse, oopiojl $from a number of the r'lurcr.vii/ Magazine, published one hundred and one years ago (December. 17t»l»). shows the relative cost of that admirable bird then and now:

Thursday ntn'it some vidians broke Into the farm-yard of Mr. l'a«e, lleudon, near Ooport. and stole thereout «J and left a letter llitl round lh« gander's neck, wherein enclosed M., nud the following lines:

Privy, Mr. Page, don't be In rage If vou are we should not wonder: We have tnmght g**ese at a ji nny a piece,

And left the monev with the gander." That is the equitable way in which the surreptitious appropriation of poultry was adjusted in the eighteenth ecntUI'V.

DOKSTICKS" nuikes his first contribution to the Drawer as follows: Coming down from a tow that is situate "a small few of distance" up the Harlem Railroad the other day, 1 was at first annoyed, then amused, by the writhing antics of a green-looking chap who oceupicHi the seat just in tront of nie. Ho observed closely every |erson tliat came in, scrutinized their dress, lyanners. stvle, and conversation, and seemed to solve all social problems to his satisfaction, until at- last#he began to take a slranse and peculiar interest in those posts that are set uj) at tho approAch «f every station. These are luiintiHl white, and b*N»r. some of them the letter "\V." others "R/'that the engui' or may "whistle" or "riir^," as the eae miy*le. for the warning of the station-master.

M) iant genius looked with cver-Inen-.iMiu curiosity at these myslerio ptsts. Town after town was passed, station after station slipped by at every one he held the iH.sts ith the cabalistic inscriptions he could make nothing of ihoin. At latt ourtottity over-

Fact.

LSO MI N1 NO PARLOR

Tho materials employed aro good clear Faris white, and" water. I'aris whito is sold in New York city and Brooklyn tor two or three cents per pound. Itinerant kalsominers frequently charge twenty-five cents per pound they "use nothing but tho genuine silver polish, which 13 scarco, and very expensive."

In ease the wall of a large room, say sixteen by twenty feet square, is to bo kalsomined with two coats, it will requiro about one-fourth of a pound of light colored glue and five orsix pounds of l'aris white. Soak the glue over night in a tin vessel eontaiuin about a quart ofwarui water. If the kalsoniine is to be applied the next day, add a pint more of clear water to tho glue, anil set the tin vessel containing the glue into a kettle of boiling water over the lire,and continue to stir the glue until it is well dissolved and quite thin. If thegluepail bo placed in a kettle of boiling water, the glue will not be scorched. I Then after putting the i'aris white into a large water-pail, pour on hot water until tho liquid appears like thick milk

Now mingle the glue-liquid with whjt-

ing, stir it thoroughly, and apply it to

jj jHi a whitewash brush or

with a paint-brush. It is of so little consequence what kind of an instrument is employed in laying on tho kalsomino, provided the iiquid is spread smoothly. Expensive brushes, made expressly for kalsomining, may be obtained at brush factories, and at some drug and hardware stores. But good whitewash-brush, having long and thick hair, will do very well. In case liquid is so thick that it will not flow from tho brush so r.s to make smooth work, add a little more hot water. When applj-ing tho kalsomine, stir it frequently. Dip the brush often, and only so deej) in the liquid as to take as much as the hair will retain without large drops tiling 011 the lioor. If too much glue be added, tho kalsomine cannot be laid on smoothly, and will be likely to crack. The aim should be to apply a thin layer of sizing that cannot be brushed oil' with a broom or dry cloth. A thin coat will not crack.

"No I*sti IN CrssiN."—Most persons have doubtless heard the anecdote related by the Temperance lecturer, White, of the market 111:111 who was in the habit of swearing his way through life, and making the most obstinate and apparently insurmountable obstacles iu his pa tli yield to his highly concentrated and all-poworiul manner of employing his "Makers's name in vain." They will remember his trip to town with theold rickety cart, full of turnips drawn by tho old gray horse, and that long red hill, the lop of which, by his never failing elixir, snieod with a free use ofthe wliipon thoaforesaid grey, he had nearly reached when the back board ofthe cart fell out, and tho turnips followed, rolling, jumping, and chasing each other down the hill, and into the ditches by the roadside.

They can imagine, too, better than I can describe, the fellow's sudden "wo-o-oo!" to old Ijra}', and the rising up of his wrath, which choked down all utterance—how he paced the road, and, ran his fingers through his hair, as his oyes followed the retreating turnips, frolicking down tho hill, like juveniles turned our of school, 011 the eve of a holiday, ami the indignation which lirod his soul, when with arms akimbo, he earnestly declared, "It's no use a eussin! I can't do the subject justice

AWKUL.—" Henry, dost thou love me, dearest Ask the stars ifthey love to twinkle, or the flowers to swell. Love you! aye, as the birds do love to warble, or the breeze to fly. Why asks tho flannel of thy heart?"

Because my soul is grieved. Care has overcast the ioy which once spread a sunshine oer thy face anguish sits on thy brow—and yet your Helena Ann knows not tho cause. Toll me aching heart, why droops thy soul—has mutton riz?" "No. my Helena—thank thegods.no, but my credit has fell. Cleaver, from this day forth, sells meat for cash!"

Helena sereecher, faints, and falls into her husband's arms, who, in the anguish of the moment seizes a knife, and stabs himself—over the left shoulder—while the curtain drops.

is a popular error to Wliovo that materials for kalsomining are very expensive, nud also that few men have suflicient skill to apply the liquid oven after it has been properly prepared. For this reason, people are* frequently deceived into paving exorbitant prices for this kind or work.
