POETRY.
THE MODERN BE EEE.
[Extracted from Mr. Saxe's Poem, read at the
late Manchester. N. H. Fair.]
The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair!
She’s clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels are in .her hair—
She. winks and giggles and simpers*
And simpers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
’Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russett,
And ragged and seedy at that—
His coats are all out at the elbows;
He wears a shocking bad hat,
He’s hoarding and saving his shillings,
So careftilly day by day,
While she, on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies a-bed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes down snapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is still in papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains of her last night’s blushes,
Before she intended to faint. >
She doatsupon men unshaven,
And men with “the flowing hair,”
She’s eloquent over moustaches,
They give such a foreign air,
She talks of Italian music, ,
And falls in love with the moon,
And tho‘ but a mouse should meet her,
She sinks awav in a swoon.
Hoosier is a sort of cross between the
Southerner and the bear, with.all his quali

He is a wandering Arab. He is wander

some timber, or fence, or firewood—add
where there is water enough for coffee-—
whiskey he takes raw—and washing is tp

A travelling correspondenlT writing to a
Canada paper from Illinois, describes some
of the peculiarities of Suckerdom, as fol
lows :
This state has-a sort of heterogenous
population—a sort of pepper and salt mix
ture of all the different laces of mankind.
The smoking phlegmatic German, the
Sweed, the .Norwegian, the beer drinking
Dutchman, the self-complacent John Bull,
the canie Scot, the cheating Israelite, the
mercurial Frenchman, the rolicking Irish
man, and the ever inquisitive, ever active
Yankee, together with Buckeyes from Ohio,
the Hoosier, from Indiana, and the illiter
ate drinking, fighting, generous Southern-
all are here in about equal propor-
‘shucks’ for law, gospel, or devil.’ One gen
eral characteristic of the animal, is that he
is always anticipating somebody to ‘'feel
big,” which he^cpnsidSfsnTis duty to, -re-
sentjififbre'if Happens.
The way the* youDg Sucker volunteer
fought in Mexico, may give you some idea
of his characteristics. He was there per-
fectlv desperate in the fight. One of the
officers related to me a little scene which oc
curred at Buena Vista.—It was in the very
crisis of the fight when the 'Indiana troops
broke and retreated, and left the whole
brunt of the Mexican advance to be borne
by the Illinois regiment. It seemed as
though they would be annihilated by su
periority of numbers, and^there were some
signs of wavering when a young Sucker
drew his rifle deliberately and dropped a
Mexican. “Set up the pins,” he shouted,
and the whole regiment took up the word,
and at every fire would shout like demons,
and with as much drollery as if on a spree.
At another time, a charge was ordered, one
of the officers happen to think of the word
and he shouted—“Let’s rip !” and dashed
in among the Mexicans, laughing and shou
ting this new battle cry. Many curious
and laughable scenes are of daily occur
rence in the courts of justice. I will relate
one which occurred in Eane county, in the
circuit court a few years ago, when Gover
nor ForcUwas the presiding judge, which
will serve as a specimen.
An old miner and land contractor of con
siderable wealth was summoned as one of
the grand jury. He came to. court glori
ously drunk and rather late, in fact not un
til the court was organized and was en
gaged in trying a case. He came stager
ing in, dressed in buckskin, and making his
way to the bar addressed the court and peo
ple with the ‘How are ye all d-n ye V at
the top of his.voice.
The .judge put on a decorous frown, and
said, “Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of five dollars
against Mr.— .”

tions, and give about their equal quota to
the character of the State and supply a
choice variety of their expressions to its
language. The Hoosier “allows,” the South
erner “suspicions,” the Buckeye “reckons,’
while the Yankee “calculates,” and the
Missourian “opinions.” The State has yet
rib settled character—its different elements
not having yet had time to harmonize and
settle together. So its laws, its manners,
and its languages. An Illinois farm house
for instance a mere cabin, constructed with
out regard to looks, convenience or comfort.
The furniture, cooking utensils and dress of
the inmates correspond with the house,
while the fences and outhouses, are of the
most wretched description/ and the door
yard and fields are given up to weeds, and
.the crops wasted with the most reckless dis
regard to thrift. Cows will be allowed to
run all the season with their calves to save
milking—or if milked, only when they hap
pen to come up of themselves, or when the
boy happens to find them, which is rare.
Families with good farms will have no but
ter, but they will have eggs and chickens
without stint. It is not uncommon to see
two hundred hens about a man’s door-, and
four pounds dressed is no commpn weight.
So common are they that you can purchase
them for a “bit” a pair.
The Yankee here is the same as the Yan
kee an where—only more so. More liberal
less saving, less religious, less honest, less
careful of appearances—but quite as enter
prising, and. bound to t get a living- at his
own, or somebody’s expense.
An Irishman is improved here—more in
telligent. thrifty and steady, and in every
respect more of a man and a better citizen
than he is elsewhere where I have seen him,
The Englishman gets a good property
here. He fares well—drinks his grog when
he likes, and always alone or with his coun
trymen—keeps a pointer or setter, a doub-
hle barreled gun, and enjoys field sports
when he pleases. A great many are scat
tered over the country but do not readily
assimilate with the people, and continue to
prefer brandy to corn whiskey—in which I
think they show good taste.
The Scotchman here is always a good
citizen and a man of property—steady
thrifty and law-abiding. The German and
the Jew do the fiddling and the huskster-
ing, the gardening, wood-sawing, cooking,
and a large part of the thinking. The only
men I have seen drunk here, were Germans
and yet, they are good citizens. The Swedes
and Norwegians are steady, hard-working
fellows, and givq nobody any trouble. The

The Dog that Understood

There is a gentleman of our acquaint
ance, living in the neighborhood of this

of repose. Periodicity is stamped upon it.
Nor is it enough that it is awake and in ac
tion by day, and in silence of the night ob
tains rest and repair. That same periodi
city which belongs to it as a whole, belongs
too, to all its constituent parts. One por
tion of it'eannot be called into incessant ac
tivity without a permanent injury ensuing.
Its different regions,: devoted to, different
functions, must have their separate times of
rest. The excitement of one part must be
coincident with a pause in the action ot an
other. I do not think it possible tor men
tal equilibrium to be maintained with one
idea or one monotonous mode Of life. There
is necessity for men of great intellectual en
dowments, whose minds are often strained
to the utmost, to fall back on other pur
suits, and thus it will always be that one
seeks refuge in the pleasures of quiet coun
try life, another in the chase, another in
foreign travel, another in social amuse
ments. Nay, with , all men, even those
whose fot has been cast in a more lowly
condition, whose hard destiny it is to spend
their whole lives in pursuit of their daily
bread, with one train of thought, and one
unvarying course of events, what would be
come of them if it were not for such a prin
ciple as this ? Men often say that the
pleasures of religion, and . of a Christain
faith, are wholly prospective, and to be re
alized only in another world. In this they
make a mistake-; for those consolations com
mence even here, and temper the bitter
ness of fate. The virtuous laborer’ though
he may be ground down with the oppres
sions of his social condition, is not without
his relief; atjthe anvil, the loom, or even at
the bottom of the mine, he is leading a
double existence—the miseries of the body
find a contrast in the calm of the soul—ttlie,
warfare without is compensated by the
peace within—the dark night of life here
serves only to brighten the glories of the
prospect beyond. Hope is the daughter of
despair. ’ Aud thus a kind Providence so
overrules events, thatit matters not jn what
station we may be, wealthy or poor, intel
lectual or lowly—a refuge is always at
hand, and the mind worn out with one
thing turns to another, and its physicial
excitement is followed by physical repose.’*
A few days since,

says his owner. That was what he said
not long since to a gentleman whom he had
invited out to dine with him one day.—
“Don’t be afraid of the dog ; just tell him
in French Allez ! or Passez ! and he’ll not
meddle with you. He don’t understand
English. You understand French, eh ?”
“Yes.; a little? A word or sol” replied
the other, with long dormant visions ofLe
vizac’s Grammar rising to his memory.
“Very well ! Mind at sharp tllree ! And
don’t be afraid of the dog!” and the inviter
turned off waving his hand in a friendly
adieu. “Hang the dog ! Don’t understand
English ! Let me see : allez / passez ! pas-

hoss hamt got the money, but your’e mis
taken, old feller;”
Judge—“Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of ten
dollars.” '
“Wal, old feller, I can fork up,” and he
threw down the gold to pay the fine.
Judge—“Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of twen
ty dollars.”
“Wal, Judge here’s the pewter, but only
we two are going to play this game, put up
your money if you rake down the pile.”
Judge—“Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of fifty
dollars.” .
“Hold on, Judge, that’s too big an ante.
This old hoss’s got the lead, but won’t pay
if you don’t put down the stakes—I draw
the bets.
By this time the Judge was savage, while
the whole crowd were vastly amused.
* Judge.—‘Mr. Sheriff, commit this man to
jail for contempt of court.’
“Hold on, Judge, your’e too fast, for I be
—and I gaess it’s me. I bid off the jail-
yard, jail and all, for the taxes—and I
guess I own that are public institution^—
and you won’t imprison a man, in his own
house, I reckon.’
This was said with an air of drunken
gravity, that made it irretistiblv ludicrous.
The Sheriff dragged him off, however, and
the next day when he was sober, he made
an apology and was forgiven.
Dodging the Responsibility—“Sir,” said
Fieryfaces, the lawyer, to an unwilling wit
ness, “Sir, do you say, upon your oath, that
Blimpkins is a dishonest man?”
“Idid’nt say he was ever accused of be
ing an honest man, did I?" -
“Does the Court understand you. to say,
Mr. Pipkins, that the plaintiff’s reputation
is bad?” inquired the J ridge, merely putting
the question to keep his eyes open.
“I didn’t say it was good, 1 reckon.”
“SiF,” §aid Fieryfaces, “Sir r, upon your,
oath—mind upon your oath—you say that
Blimpkins is a rogue, a villain and a thief?”
“You say so,” was Pip’s reply.
“Haven’t you said so?” <
“Why, you’ve said it,” said Pipkins,
“what’s the use of my repeating?” ,
“Sir-r!” thundered Fieryfaces, the Deroos-
thenean thunderer -of Thumbtown, “Sir, I
charge you upon your sworn oath, do v6u
or do you not say, Blimpkins stole things?”
“No, Sir,” was the cautions reply of Pipkins;
“I never said Blimpkins stole things; but I
do gay— 1 “he's got a way of finding things,
that nobody has lost!'''!
“Sir ” said Fieryfaces, “you can retire;”
and the Court adjourned.
An Exciting Scene,
on board a steamer jfrom Memphis to Cin
cinnati, was a large crowd of passengers.
Onr attention was drawn to the unusual
number of passengers flocking below on
deck; with the captain and two or three oth
er officers of the boat, we joined the crowd
in search of an incident to drive away the
monotony of a steamboat trip. Arriving
at the spot which seemed the centre of the
excitement, we found a man in Quaker like
atti re, sitting upon a large chest, declari ng
it should not be broken open unless they
killed him. Soon from the -chest, as if in
distress, .was heard a voice apparently of a
colored person.
“Let me out—I had rather go back to
master—oh, mercy, I can’t stay here any
longer.”
‘flLook here, my friend,” says the captain,
“you’ll have to get off that chest.”
“I’ll be darned if I do,” he replies.
“Oh, dear, let me out—let me out!”—
came distinctly from the chest, as if in ap
parent suffocation. »
“Mate,” said the captain, “bring some
men, take that person off that chest, and
break it open.”
The person showing fight, was seized by
the passengers, all believing he was carry
ing off Mr. Darkey, contrary to law made
and provided. The mate- seized an iron
bar and forced it between the lidJand the
body of the chest.
“Oh, don’t! you’ll kill me, says the stifled
voice; “I want to get out; I want to go back;
oh, dear! I shall die.”
“Hold out a few jninutes longer,” says
a good natured philanthropic person, step
ping out, “you shall soon be. released.”
Quite an intense feeling was now raised
in the crowd, when the mate forced off the
lid. As ft came from the chest, an unearth-
sez !. allez /” And off he went, too, repeat
ing the talismariic words.
About 2 o’clock P. M., the invited guest
perched himself in a buggy , and set off for
his host’s country residence. Multifarious
business arrangements had entirely driven
the “dog” out dfhis head. The buggy and
he went quietly and smoothly on together :
a fast trotting horse preceding both and
drawing both. “Hellothere! Here,some
one !” called out the guest, as he dashed
up to the front gate of his friend’s neat
little cottage, and jumping down, began
to stretch his limbs and arrange the reins
and harness.
“Bow ! wow ! wow !” The invited start
ed. “Bow. wow!” and an immense, curly
haired, black dog, with fierce red eyes, dash
ed round the corner of the fence, 50 yards
off, and made at the new comer. “The
big dog, by thunder !” exclaimed the latter
‘■go away! get out sir !” “Bow ! wow ‘
replied the dog, louder than ever, and show
ing a formidable row of teeth. Just then
his host’s hint about the animal’s lingual
accomplishments flashed on his mind; but
the dog came rapidly on, and the new com
er could not for the life of him recall the
only words that could save him from -an
attack. • “Get out, sir!” shouted he, flour
ishing his whip threateningly ; “back, you
rascal! French language 1 Parleyvous /
Get out! Bow jour!"
That did not stop the canine, monster
he had apparently forgotten his French. In
another moment he would be in dangerous
proximity to the invited one’s lower limbs
Shouts, threats, gestures, were of no avail
There was a sudden rush on the part of the
dog, and a sudden jump on the part of the
guest. The former, barking' and growling,
had his fore paws on the edge of the bug
gy ; the latter was inside of it. His French
suddenly returned to him. “Comment
vous portez vous ?" he exclaimed fierc e ly
holding his reins hard with one hand, and
lashing away at his assailant with the whip
in the other., “Confound you ! Comment
vous portez vous ? Comment vous portez
vous, you infernal villain ! Comment vous
portez vous! !" This last phrase had hard
ly been uttered, in a tone of the utmost
anger and passion, ■when the fastetrotting
horse/frightened out of his wits, broke into
a run, knocked the dog over, and disap
peared down the road, bis driver in as pret
ty a passion as was ever concocted.
When the guest and the host next met,
the former was rather cool and reserved
He thought it was all a trick,. He was fi
nally prevailed on to relate his adventure
“The infernal ugly beast! I did talk French
to him, but the more French I uttered, the
more savage he became.” “What did you
say to. him i” “Say ! oh, everything!”
new idea struck him. “By the Lord Harry
I’ve sold myself! No wonder he didn’t up
dei stand me. There was I asking him in
French, How he was, instead of sending him
in*the same lingo to parts unknown ! Don’t
laugh, now ! Losing my dinner and being
run away with were bad enqugh. Never
say ‘dog’ to me again, and I’ll treat you to
a dinner ! But, confound it, old fellow, do
hire a schoolmaster and have your domestic
tiger taught that Comment vous portez vous
don’t always mean How <Pyou do?"
