right of sowing discord in the great National family .' A good deal is said about some private letters from the (Jeneral at the Hermitage
that he wrote to the Globe man at Wash
ington. I haint had time yet to read 'em. but if they are what I hear tell'd on, 1
don't h-lievo the General ever wrote em'
and if he did, it don't amout to nothing. What a man writes afore he is President and what he writs after he has quit that office amounts pretty much to the same thing. The General wrote a very good lettt r once to Mr. Munro but it did not come to any good. One man's letter then, is ju.t as good as any other man's letter. Take General Harrison now for instance let him write a letter I don't think it would make the dav longer or shorter;
but make him president, and then all his letters so long as he is President would be consider'd by many as very important and some would think the world w as just
beginning, and some that it was just ending. This shows, then there nm-t be something 111 the office it may I"-' the 1 .. 1.:. !..,.... f...- ,.r

Well then, when he quits office I don t
sec why he should take all thr mother

should leave it whore he found it, for the benefit of the nest. I ain't one of those

The following clever hit at the "e.rpeririient" is taken from a late number of the National Intelligencer. IVIy Uncle's Tlnm Puddinfr. Reader, I believe I must tell you a storv about mv uncle's plum pudding.
This was a dish that uncle Samuel's numerous family were very fond of. You must know that he had charge of some dozen youngsters; whom he found it very diflicufl to please. He was very attentive to their wants, and furnished them daily with fresh pies. tart, custards, and other abundance. But the little fellows after a while got tired of these, and began to crv aloud for something new, and something better. The manner of the introduction of the plum pudding was as follows: They began anon, I say, to complain of the unvaried sameness and olduess
their messes. Grumbling and pouting
ed, and dally increased, and pies 1 ,- . 1
and tins were carried awav noui wr nble untasted. This placed Uncle Samuel
in rather a mortifying and perplexing sit
uation. The voangstcrs must be grati-
