A Ventriloquist Treating his Friends to a
Serenade of tut-*.
There happened to be only foiir bed rooms in
the house; the best of course was occupied by
Miss Madonna, the second hy Plumplee, the third
by Mr. Beagle, and the fourth by the servant;
but that ;n which Mr. Beagle s ept was a double
bedded room, and Valentino ujcl therefore, to
make his election between the spine-bed and the
sofa. Os course the former was preferred, and
as preference seemed highly satisfactory tu Mr.'
Beagle himself, they passed the remainder ol the
evening very pleasantly togetber.iand in due time
retired.
Valentine, on having his bed pointed out to
him, darted between the sheets Lj the space of a
minute. so» as Mr. Jonas Beagle facetiously ob
served, he had but to shade himiu If, and every
thing came off; when as he did pot by any means
feel drowsy at the time, he fancied that he might
as well amuse his companion for ifn f.our or so as
not. He, therefore, turned the tiling seriously
over in his mind, while Mr. Dea;|e was quietly
undressing himself, being anxiousfor that gentle
man to extinguish the light before he commenced
operations.
‘Now for a beautiful night’s I rest,’ observed
Mr. Jonas IJeagle to himself as jie put out the
light with a tranquil mind; and u|rned in with a
groat degree of comfort. •
* Mew ! —mew I” cried Valentijie softly throw
ing his voice under the l ed of Mb Beagle.
‘ Hish !—curse that cat!’ c u>d Mr. Beagle,
4 Wemu .i have you out at all events, my lady."
And Mr. Beagle at once slipped but of bed, and
having opened the door cried ‘hfsh !’ again ern
phaiically. and threw his breccias towards the
spot as an additional inducement for the cat to
‘ stand not on the order of her ao?ng,’ when Mr.
Valentine repeated the ery, and made it appear
10 proceed from the stairs, Mr, Beagle thanked
heaven she was gone, closed the door and very
carefully groped his way again into lad.
•Mew !—nievv !—mew !’ cried, (Valentine, just
as M . Beagle had again comfortably composed
himself.
‘ What 1 are you there still madam'?” enqui
red that gentleman in a highly sarcastic tone, •!
thought you had been turned od( madam. Do
you hear this witch of a cal'?’ he continued, ad
dressing Valentine with vieyy of conferring
upon him the honorable office oh Tyler for the
timebeing; but Valentine replied with a deep
heavy snore, and began to mew again with addi
tional emphasis. i
‘ Well, I don’t have a treat evjery day, it is
true; hut if this isn’t one, why Ipi out in my
reckoning, that’s all!’observed Mj. Jonas Beagle
slipping again out of bed. ‘1 doijt much like to
handle you my lady, but if did.j I’d of course
give you physic !’ and lie * hishiid !’ again with
consummate violence, and contitlued to ‘hish!’
Itntil Valentine scratched the bed-post sharply,
a feat which inspired Mr. Beagle; with the con
viction of its being the distuibir *,f his peace in
the act of decamping when he threw the pillow
very energetically towards the ijoor, which he
dosed, and then returned to his l>ed in triumph.
The moment, however he ha I comfortably tuck
ed himself up again he missed the pillow he had
converted into an instrument of vengeance, and
as that was an article without which he could not
even hope to go to sleep, he hud of course to
turn out again to fetch it.
* How many more times. I wonder,’ he obser
ved to himself,‘shall I have to i,et out of this
blessed bed tonight? Exercise is certainly a
comfort, and veiy conducive to health ; hut such
exercise as this—why where have you got V he
added, addresing the pillow, which, with all the
sweeping action of his feci lie w as for some time
unable to find— * Oh, here you aid, sir, arc you V
and he picked up the object of fss search and
gave it several severe blows in the belly ; when,
having reinstated himself between the sheets, he
exclaimed in a su Iden tone, ‘ NA ell, let’s try
again!’ <|i
Now, Mr. Jonas Beagle was a .man who pri
ded himself especially upon the liveliness of his
temper. His boast that nothing ijould put him
in a passion, and a* he had less thjiti most of his
co-temporaries, to vex him, he hat} certainly been
able, in the absence of all cause (for irritation, to
preserve his equanimity. As a. perfect natural
matter of course he invariably alJrjbuted the ab
sence of such cause to the imiajtp amiability of
his disposition; and marvelled tbfu men, men ot
sense and discernment, should so ?or forget what
was justly expected of them as reasonable beings
us to suffer themselves to he tortured by excite
ment. ina-much albeit as human nature and diffi
culties arc insepcrable, human nature is suffi
ciently potent not only to battle wit h those diffi
culties, hut overcome them. It Mr. Jonas Bea
gle had had to contend against many cl ihc ills
flesh and blood is heir, he in all probability woo'd
have acted like the majority us Ins fellow men ;
but as he had met with very lew; and those few
had not been of a very serious complexion, he
could affoid to be deeply philosophical on the sub
ject, and felt himself, competent! of course, to
frame laws by which the tempers; \ of men in the
aggregate should be governed. | <«> did, however
feel, when he violently smote the pillow. that the
little ebullition partook somewhat I of the nature
of passion, and just commenced reproaching hitn
selt for having indulged in that fittle-ebullition,
when Valentine cried, ‘rneyow l\ —* pit !—mey
ow!’ I
‘ Hallo !’exclaimed Mr. Jonas*; Beagle, ‘here
again !’ i j
* Mew !’ cried Valentine in a somewhat higher
kp y- : .
* What, another one come to contribute to the
harmony of the evening!’
* Mevow !—meyovv !’ cried \ a.online in a key
still higher. \
‘ Well, how many more ol vou ?*’ inquired
Mr. Beagle. “You will be able to get op a con
cert hy-and-hy ;’ and Valentine began to spit and
swear with gn at felicity.
‘Swear away, you beauties!’Miried Mr. Jonas
Beagle, as be iistend to this vollrybof feline oaths;
• I only wish that I was not so n.urh airaid of you
lor your sakes. At it again ? ell this is a
blessing. * Don’t you hear lues* devils of cals !’
he cried, anxious not to have a|i the tun him
self; hot Valentine recommenced- snoring very
loudly. 4 Well, this is particularly pleasant, he
continued as he situp in bed. ■ D->n t you hear?
M hat a com orl it is to he a! !e t sleep soundly .
which remarkable observation w ajsi doubtless pro
voked by the no less remarkable fafet that the sp.t
'■u,g and swearing became more ,\n«l more des
perate. ‘ What’s to be done ?’ ho inquired very
pointed’y. * What’s to be done?’ my breeches
ate right m the midst of them a|l . I can’t got
°bt now ; they’d tear the very lit! !i oil my legs ;
R nJ that fellow there sleeps like u . top. Hallo!
Do you mean to sav vou don t fv-ear these cats,
how they’re going it ?’ Vuleulineicerlainly meant
b> say no such thing, for the wot lo ol the time
that lie was not engaged in meyowing and spit
ting, he was diligently occupied in snoring, which
had a very good effect, and served to fill up the
intervals exceedingly wel .
length the patience of Mr. Jonas Beagle
began to evaporate; for the hostile animals con
tinued to battle apparently with great despera
t!°n. He, therefore threw a pillow with great
v °icnce into the hed of his companion, and
so loudly, that Valentine, teeling that it
V4 ° u *d be perfect nonsense for him to pretend to
he asleep any longer, began to yawn very natu
raiiy. and then to cry out “who’s there l ”
••’T.sl!” shouted Mr. Jonas Beagle “Don’t
yon hear the e witches of cats?”
‘ 'lish ! cried Valentine, “ why there arc two
I of them!”
Iwo 1 said Mr. Beagle, more likely two-and
i twenty! Ive turned out a dozen myself. There’s
a swarm, a whole colony of them here, and I
know no more about striking a light than a fool.’
‘ Oh, never mind,’ said Valentine ; ‘ let’s go to
sleep, they'll be quiet hy and bye.’
‘ It’* all very fine to say let’s go to sleep, hut
who’s to do it?’ cried Beagle, emphatically.
‘ Curse the cat's! I wish there warn’t a cat under
heaven. Ido with all my soul! They’re such
spiieiul vermin too, when they happen to he put
out, and there’s one of them in a passion, I know
by her spitting, confound her ! I wish from the
bottom of rny heart it was the very last spit she
had in her.”
V, hile Mr. Jonas Beagle was indulging in
these highly appropriate observations, Valentine
was laboring with great energy in the production
ot the various biller cries which are peculiarly
characteristic of the feline race ; and for a man
who possessed but a very slight knowledge of the
grammatical construction of the language of that
race, it roust in justice be said, that he developed
a degree of that fluency, which did him great
credit. He purred, and mewed, and cried, and
swore, and spit, until the peispiration oozed from
every pore, and made the sin ets as wet as if they
had been ‘damped for the mangle.’
M hat on earth are we to do ?’ enquired
Plum pice, I myself, have a horror of cats.’
J he same to me, and many ot ’em?’ observed
Mr. Beagle, ‘ let’s wake that young fellow, per
haps he don’t mind them.’
‘ Hallo !’ cried Plumplee.
‘ Hul-lo! shouted Beagle;’ but as neither could
make any impression upon Valentine, and as both
were afrat . to get off the bed, to shake him, they
proceeded to roil up the blankets and sheets into
Dal 1- and to pelt him with infinite zeal.
4 M bo’s there ? \\ hat’s the matter?’ cried
A alcntine, at length, in the coolest tone imagina
ble, although his exertions had made him sweet
like a tinker.
‘For Heaven’s sake, my dear young friend,’
said Mr. Plutnplee, ‘do assist us in turning these
cats out.’
4 Cats! Where are they ? Hish!’ cried Valen
tine.’
4 Oh. that’s of no use whatever. I have tried
the hishing business myself. All the hishing in
the world won’t do. They must he beaten out;
you're not afraid of them are you !”
‘ Alraid of them : afraid of a few cats!’ ex
claimed \ alenline with tlie assumption of some
considerable magnanimity, ‘where are they?”
‘ Under my bed.’ replied Beagle. ‘There’s a
brave fellow. Break their blessed necks!’ and
A alcntine leaped out ol bed, and after striking at
the imaginary animals very furiously with the
bolster, he hissed with violence and scratched
across the grain of the boards in humble imita
tion of those domestic creatures scampering out
of a room when he rushed to the door, and pro
ceeded to make a very forlorn meyewing die grad
ually away at the bottom of the stairs.
‘Thank Heaven I they are all gone at last,’
cried Mr. Beagle, ‘we shall he able to get a little
rest now I suppose;’ and alter very minutely
surveying every corner of the room in which it
was possible for one of them to have lingered, he
lighted his candle, bade Plumplee good night,
and begged him to go immediately to Miss Ma
donna, who had been calling for an explanation
very anxiously below.
As soon as Plumplee had departed, Valentine
assisted Beagle to remake his bed; and when they
had accomplished this highly important business
with the skill and dexterity of a couple of thor
ough-bred chamber-maids, the light was again
extinguished, and Mr. Beagle very naturally
made up his mind to have a six hours’ sound and
uninterrupted sleep. He had, however,scarcely
closed his eyes when the mewing was renewed,
and as he had not the smallest disposition to lis
ten to sounds so familiar to his ear, he started up
at once and exclaimed, ‘I wish I may die it they
are out now. Here’s one of them left! added he
addressing Valentine, but Valentine having taken
a deep inspiration, answered only by respiring
with a prolonged gargling sound. ‘He’s off
again hy the laving Jove!’ continued Beagle. ‘I
never heard of any one sleeping so soundly. Hol
lo my good fellow, ho!—Fast as afour-ycar-old?
Won’t you be quiet, you witch ? Are you deter
mined not to let me have a wink ofsleepto-nigh ?
She must be in the cupboard; I must have over
looked her; and yet I don’t see howl could. Oh!
keep the thing up dear! Don’t let me rest;’ and
he fumbled about for his box, and having taken a
hearty pinch of snuff, began to turn the thing se
riously over in his mind and to make a second
person of himself, byway of having under the
circumstances, a companion with whom he could
advise, and if necessary remonstrate.
‘ Well, what’s to be done now?’ enquired he of
the second person thus established. ‘What’s Jo
be the next step, Jonas? It’s of no use at all,
you know: we can't go to sleep; we may just as
well try to get a kick at the moon—nor must we
again disturb— Hish, you ; Jonas, Jonas,
keep your temper, my boy!—keep your temper.
Don't let a contemptu.le cat put you out!’—and
Mr. Beagle look another pinch of snuff, trom
which he apparently derived a great degree of
consolation—‘What, at it again!’ he continued,
‘1 wish I had the wringing of your neck off mad
am ! You want to pul me in a passion; but you
wont, vou can’t do it! therefore, don’t lay that
flattering unction to your soul!— Well, Jonas,
how are we to act ? Sha 1 \vc sit here all night,
or take up our bed and walk, Jonas? —eh ?
Jonas was so struck with the expediency of the
latter course, that he apparently urged its imme
diate adoption; for Mr. Beagle, in the first place,
half dressed himself in bod, and in the next,
threw the counterpane, a blanket, and a sheet
over his shoulder; when, tucking a pillow and a
bolster under his arm, he said, ‘We’ll leave you
to your own conscience, madam; good night, and
left the room with the view ot seeking repose up
on the sofa.
Valentine was asloni-hed at the coolness dis
played by Mr. Beagle throughout the entire tran
saction; and after reproaching the spirit of mis
j hies that was within him, and striving byway
of punishment to disturb his own repose, and
succeeded too as well as the monks of old did
when they inflicted the scourge upon
—he proceeded to justifjk himself upon tnc
that his object was to learn the .rue charaeiers of
men, and being perfectly satisfied with that jus
tification, went soundly and solemnly asleep.
In tl: e morning, of course, nothing but tales of
hoiror went down, Mr. Plumplee told his with
the air of a man conscious of having been in>pi
red with the spirit of valor; and Miss Madonna
told hers w ith great feeling and effect; but when
Beagle began to explain to them how he had
been persecuted, they forgot their own, and laugh
ed heartily at his, which was certainly, under the
circumstances, exceedingly reprehensible, howev
er naturally, philosophers may hold it to be for
the risible tacult#s of men to be provoked by the
little vexati others endure.

Cotton —Since our review of Saturday morning
last, the Cotton market has been in a more dull
and inactive state than we have known it to be
during the present season, the sales for the three
days having only averaged about 900 bales per day.
This want of animation in the market may be at
tributed in some degree to the limited stock on
sale, particularly of Lousiana and Mississippi cot
tons, for which descriptions there is still the great
est inquiry, but the scarcity of vessels and con
tinued high rates of frieght, and the unwillingness
of holders to yield any material concessions, may
be mentioned as the most prominent causes, as
buyers no longer seem disposed to operate exten
sively at such full prices as have lately prevailed.
Some of the sales made yesterday showed a slight
downward tendency in the market, but formerquo
tations have, one the whole, been fully sustained,
and we therefore continue them unaltered.

Sugar —Louisiana.—A rather better demand has
existed within the last few days, particularly for
prime Sugars, which have advanced fully a quarter
of a cent, and we now quote the general range of
the market at 3 a 5 cents. The stock on the Le
vee is "moderate, and is almost entirely in second
hands, who hold firmly at the improvement above
noticed, and in most instances claim a further
slight advance on strictly prime qualities ; indeed,
we are advised of one sale of 30 hhds very choice
at a fraction above our highest figure. Inferior
and middling qualities are in but little request, and
remain at about our former figures. There is
some inquiry for lots on plantation, and we under
stand otiers have been made for several crops, but
we cannot learn that any transactions have been
closed since our last. ,
Molasses —The Levee has a rather better supply,
but no improvement has taken place in the de
mand, which is confined to limited transactions.
Prices, however, remain the same as last quoted—
say IS al9 cents per gallon in barrels. We have
heard of no sales on plantation for some days past.
Whiskey —The receipts, since our last report,
have been unusually large, while only a moderate
demand has existed, and the consequence has been
a decline from the prices then cur-
We now quote Rectified at 23 a 24 cents
per gallon.
Mobile, June 11, 1840.
The market was uncommonly dull yesterday,
and we heard of no transactions. We have dates
of Ist June from New York. The Cotton market
was firm at previous quotations. Sales reached
9000 bales for the week ending Saturday the 30th,
at from 6J a 12 cents.
Cotton —Since our last we have received 3,405
bales, and shipped 26,940 bales, leaving a stock on
hand not cleared, of 115,182 bales. The receipts
since the Ist of October last, are 443.537 bales, and
the exports, 329,553 bales. Last season, at the
corresponding period, the receipts were 251,591
bales; exports 234,144, and the stock on hand,
not cleared 17,-506 bales.
The appearance of the market has been quite
uninteresting during the week, and has continued
very quiet; the great scarcity of shipping, and the
light stocks on sale, contributing to this end. It is
presumed that, together with the receipts of the
week, there are nut to exceed 7 or 8,000 bales on
sale. Yesterday there was rather more animation,
but sales were small. Holders advanced their pre
tensions in some instances, and the market may be
considered firm at our quotations.
