A HOLY PACK OF CAHDS. One Richard Middleton, attending divine service with the rest of the regiment, in church in Glasgow, instead of pulling out a bible to find the parson's text, he spread a pack of cards before him. This behaviour was observed by the clergyman and sergeant of the company to which he belonged. The latter ordered him to put up the cards, and on his refusal, conducted him after service before the mayor, and preferred a for.nal complaint of Richard's indecent behaviour. Well, soldier, said the mayor, what excuse have you to oiler.' If yon can make an apology, it is well, if not, you shall be severely punished. Since your honor is so good, replied Richard, as to permit ma to speak for myself, an't please your worship, I have been 8 days on the march with tha bare allowance of sixpence per day, and consequently could not have a bible or any other good hook. On saying this, Richard drew out his pack of cards, and presenting one of the aces to the mayor, continued his address to the magistrate as follows: When I see an ace, may it please your honor, it reminds me that there is only one God; and when I look upon a two or a three, the former puts me in mind of the Father and Son, and the latter Father, Son and Holy Ghost; a four, of the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; a five, the live virgins who were ordered to trim their lamps, (there were ten indeed,) but five, your worship mar remember, were wise and five were foolish; a six, that in six days God created Heaven and earth; a seven, that on the seventh day he rested from all that he had made; an eight, of the eight righteous persons who were saved from the deluge, viz: Noah and his wife and three sons and their wives; a nine, of the Ieapers cleansed by our Saviour, (there were ten, but only one offered his tribute of thanks;) and a ten, of the ten commandments. Richard then took the knave, placed it beside him and passed on to the queen, ivhich h observed as follows: This queen

reminds me of the queen of ihebe, who came from the uttermost parts of the earth

to hear the wisdom of Solomon, as her companion iloes to the great Kim' of Hea'ven, ami of king George II. Well, returned the mayor, vou have giv en me a good description of all tiie cards except the knave. If youi honor will not 'be mad with me, returned Uichard. 1 can 'give you the same satisfaction on that as j any of the pack. . Do, said the mayor. Well, returned the soldier, the greatest Iknave I know is the sergeant who bronoht j me before you. I don't know, replied the I mayor, whether he be the greatest knave 'or not, but I'm sure lie is the greatest fool. The soldier then continued as follows: When I count the number of dots in a pack of cards there are SOS so manv days are there in a year; when I reckon how many tricks there arc in a pack, 1 find there are 12 so many months are in a year. So that a pack of cards is both bible and almanac and prayer book to me. The mayor called his servants, ordered them to entertain the soldier well, gave him a piece of money, and said he was th cleverest fellow lie ever heard of in all his life. f Jellow Soil. A man boasting in a company of ladies that he had a very lux uriant head ot hair, one of the fail dam sels remarked that it was owing entirely to the mettoivness ol the soil. Absence of Mind. A drunkard beinorisited by a temperance agent just as he was about taking down his morninc a bitters, kicked the decanter out ot doors and swallowed the ag-ent. --es "Mass Dash," says Cutlce, "he be one raal geinman; he gid me half a dollar for ruch his boots, three quarter dollar for hold his boss, an whole dollar for calliu' him a eemman. An he be raal eemmaii: and no mistake." Speculation. A countrvman was seen staring at the signs in Yincenncs, when a pert clerk asked him if he wished to buy some "gape seed?" "jo, I don t want none. I'm lookin' at this town: I talk of buyin' it." Getting on. "Sam, how many logs have you sawed, eh?" "Why, ina'am, when I've got this and three other one's done, I'll have sawed four!" The last Jonathan. I'll tell you tin almighty strange thing how that gal (Ellon Tree) works on the feelings of critters. When she was acting Julia in our parts the door-keepers came away in, for it was tarnation cold and no one took no notice of the doors, cos no more could well get in; when an old hear smiled his way into the town and finding no one astir, for they were all at the play, what does the critter do, but stiills his way there too, and crawls up behind the boxes. I guess he mentto sup off sonic of us chaps; out however, ho listened, and listened, till he got quite uffectiJ, and sa moliiied that he vowed he would never go man-eating any more; next night he came again, and brought his wife, and the thinar was only discovered on the third night, when he was seen coming down to the box-office along with an alligator. London Sunday Timet. Peoria, (111.) .Match 31. Arrival Extra. A queer looking craft was seen crossing our lake on Wednesday under full sail which after exciting much euriositv and conjecture, turned out to be a canoe, of must unreasonable dimensions. It was 40 feet long 3 feet "beam" in the clear, 'Z 1-2 feet hold, and will carry 2 3 barrels of flour, or two cords of wood. it belongs to Mr. J. S. Adams, the proprietor and occupant of the flouring mill two miles from here on the opposite side of the lake, and leas nuvh: front a cotton irond free by some of his wood chopper)i. It runs up the tail race to hs mill door, receives a cargo, hoists sails, sets the leeboard and skims over here in 15 or 20 minutes. In the absence of a wind it is worked by oars, and is altogether the, comnletcst dug-out we ever saw. Register. IIOXORARY.

It i proposed to publish in the course of tho en suing spring, cither in this citv or in X. York a sfw Wzr.KLT Papkii, on an imperial sheet by teh above title, t the price of 2 per annum, payable in advanca. The object of this publication is to brinr; for ward the claims of WILLIAM HEXRY HAR RISON to the next Presidency, subject to the sane tion of the people. As the state of New York w as sufficiently patriotic, to hold two conventions for the purpose of Living him its support at the recent Presidential Election, and as it wa univer sally admitted that his claims were second to none othora at that time, there is no good raason why he should now be driven from the field, bv the headstrong measures, or the secret intrigues of self-constituted loaders, when a cordial union in his favor will insure us a glorious victory over our political oppressors.

I do certify that Ethiopian's dam was got by Albert, and out of a full bred Seler mare; Albert was got by Americus, who was full brother to Minerva, one of the best turf nags in Yirginia. I'rom the same mare on the sire's side, Minerva and Americus both were from old Shark. I cannot at this time give the blood of the dam of Albert, but the performance of her colts on the turf proves that she w as inferior to none of her day. A. CAMP.
