THE BUSS OF IXOSIE.
EY THOMAS H. BHREtE.
Mine be the joy which beams around
The hearth where pure affections dwell—
[ Where love, enrobed in smiles, is found,
And wraps the spirit with its spell.
I would not seek excitement’s whirl,
Where pleasure wears her tinsel crown,
And Passion’s billows upward curl,
’Neath Hatred’s darkly gathering frown.
The dearest boon from Heaven above,
Is bliss wlsi«b-brightly hallows home,
*Tis sunlight to the world of love,
And life’s pure wine without its foam.
; There is a sympathy of heart
* Which consecrates the social shrine,
f Robs grief of gloom, and doth impart
A joy to gladness all divine.
It glances from the kindling eye,
Which o’er Affections sleepless tends—
It gives deep pathos to the sight
Which anguish from the bosom rends—
It plays around the smiling lip.
When lovo bestows tho greeting kiss,
And sparkles in each cup we sip
t
Round the domestic board of bliss.
Let others seek in wealth or fame,
A splendid path wherein to tread
l’d rather wear a lowlier name,
With love’s enchantments round it shed.
[ Fame’s but a light to gild the grave,
And Wealth can never calm the breast—
Blit Love, n halcyon on life’s wave,
Hath power to soothe its strifes to rest,
A HUMOROUS SCE \ T E.
A correppondunt of the Farmer’s Register,
in an interesting letter on rural economy, has
introduced the following graphic sketch:
Some years ago, I rode in the night to visit
a patient, and as I passed the house of Mr.
Samuel Poe, in the lower end of Prince Ed.
ward, I heard the tones of a banjor, and was
told by the old gentleman, (Mr. Poe,) that his
servants had brewed a barrel of persimmon
beer, and he gave them the privilege of having
what they called a “beer dance.” Curiosity
induced me to ride to tho door, accompanied
by Mr. Poe, and the other gentlemen. And
here we saw rare sport! an “unco sight!” Not
however, such a sight as Tam O’Shanter saw
when he peeped into “Kirk Alloway,” for the
/lancers there were “warlocks' 1 and “witches;”
sere they were Virginia slaves, dancing jigs
and clapping “juber,” over a barrel of persim
mon beer. It occurred to me, that if Tarn
'’ould have made bis appearance about this
lime on his gray mare Meg. tho scene would
have frightened Maggie more than the “blceze”
of “Kirk. Alloway;” and Tam might have roar
ed out, “weel done Cutty Sark!” a thousand
times, and tarch lights would not have been
extinguished.
The ball was opened with great ceremony,
l>y singing a song known to our Virginia slaves
by tho name of “who-zen-John, whoza.”
“Old black bull come down de hollow,
Ho shake hi’ tail you hear him beHow;
When ho bellow he jar do river,
lie paw de ycarth, ho make it quiver.
VVho.zen.Jehn> whoza.”
This was a sky rocket thrown out as a pre
lude to tho grand exhibition, and will give the
reader some idea of what is to follow. Those
who could not get seats in the house, took
their stand outside, peeping in the door and
through the logs, making remarks on the dan
cers; and here I will observe, that there was a
complete Babel jargon, a confusion of tongues!
‘Down de road, come show me de motion.’
‘Set to your partner, Dolly. Cut him out,
Gabe.’ ‘Sal, does put her foot good.’ ‘Yon
dor come do coal black horse.* Tho yallow
voan’s up! hear how ho lumbers! he’s a rael
stormcr, ring clipper, snow.belcher and drag
out-’-—‘Congo is a scrottger, he’s up a gum,
and no bug-eater, I tell you, he carries a broad
; ow> weeds out every thing—hoes de corn and
< delator.’ ‘Molly look like kildce, she
moves like handsaw—seo how she shako her.

■Jiiiko her foot! she ken pull the whip saw
<hwn,* ‘Nick! come hero and see Ben cross
hi’ bowlegs! look at hi’mouf! when ho grin,

b ick? I reckon if Tamar’s cat stay in there
»’uch longer, they will mash her guts out; her
c.kin 'ont hold peas. Come here, Gabe; coine,

Ull ngton’s Nance! see how she quivers? Now,

in to the South, she bin to the East, she
• to tho West, bin so far beyond the sun, that
...v , j th© gal for Dick hadn’t no by»i

I c » knock-knee’d, and ugly enough to eat
< .‘■o.* ‘Well, 1 know that; sing on Sambo:’
l “"at (torn the Great-house, dawn to the kitchen,
" g t a knot of light wood, to see to go a fishing.
To treat granny Dinah;
I wo • tade stable, I catch master gray horse.
1 c ;• he sa<id.e yon him and he trot like ha don’t care, 1
He don't care, he don’t care.
Having become tired of this out of door con-'
versation, we concluded to view the group in
the house. Here the banjor-man, was seated;
on the beer barrel, in an old chair. A long ;
white cow.tail, queued with red ribbon, orna
mented his head, and hung gracefully down
his back; over this he wore a three cocked,
hat, decorated with peacock feathers ; a rose:
cockade, a bunch of ripe persimmons, and to
cap the climax, three pods of red-pepper as a
top-knot. Tumming his banjor; grinning with
ludicrous gesticulations and playing off his
wild notes to the company. Before him stood
i two athletic blacks with open mouth and pearl
■ white teeth, clapping Juber to the notes ot the
, banjor; the fourth black man,held in.his right
’ hand-a-jnfl? gourdj-of persimmon beer, and in
hts left, a dipper or water-gourd to serve the
company; while two black women were em
ployed in filling the fire place, six feet square,
with larded persimmon dough. The rest of
the company, male and female, were dancers,
except a little squat wench, who held the torch
light. I never had seen Juber clapped to the
banjor before, and you may suppose I looked
upon such a novel scene, with some degree of
surprise. Indeed, 1 contemplated the dancing
groupe with sensations of wonder and aston
ishment! The clappers rested the right foot
on the heel, and its clap on the door was in
perfect unison with the notes of the banjor, and
palms of the hands on the corresponding ex
tremities; while the dancers were all jigging
it away in merriest possible gaiety of heart,
having the most ludicrous twists, wry jerks,
and flexible contortions of the body and limbs,
that human imagination can divine.
‘'Fhe whole world is a ball we
The water dances to the wind,
The sea itself, at night and noon,
Rises and dances to the moon.
The earth and planets round the sun,
Still dance; no» will their dance be done,
Till nature in one blast is blended,
Then may we say the ball is ended.’
The rude ballad set to Juber, corresponds
admirably with the music and actors in this
fantastic dance. While the clappers were la
boring in the performance of their office, they
responded at the same time to the notes of the
banjor,
“Juber up and Juber down,
Juber all around de town,
And Juber roun’ the simmon vat,
Hoe corn! hill tobacco!
Get over double trouble, Juber boys J über.
Uncle Phil, went to mill,
He suck de sow, he starve the pig,
Eat the simmon gi’ me de seed,
I tole him, I was not in need.
Hoe corn ! hill tobacco!
Get over double trouble, Juber boys Juber.
Aunt Kate? look on the high shelf,
Take down de husky dumplin,
I’ll eat it wi’ my simon cake,
To cure the rotten belly-ache.
Iloe corn! hill tobacco!
Get over double trouble, Juber boys Juber.
Raccoon wontlo simmon town,
To choose de rotten from the soun,
Dare he sot upon a sill,
Eating of a whip-poor-will.
Hoe corn! hill tobacco’
Get over double trouble, Juber boys Juber.”;
When supper was announced, the banjor
; man was first served; then the clappers and
beer bearer; and lastly, the beaux and their
partners. Each had n huge loaf of larded
1 persimmon bread with a gourd of beer.
Thus ended the beer dance, and as I left tho
House, I thought to myself, that Virginia
slaves were the happiest of the human race—
-1 and I still think so.
“The learn’d ia happy to explore,
I The fool is happy that ho knows no more.”
Solomon, the wisest man, says—“in much
wisdom, there is much grief; and ho that in
creaseth knowledge, incrcaseth sorrow.”
The beer dance, I have attempted to des
cribe, is a faint representation of what actually
occurred. It requires an abler pen to do it (
justice. I feel mortified that I cannot give a
more vivid and glowing description of these
black beaux, who acted so conspicuous a part
with their partners in the persimmon junket.
The broad grin, the smile of the little squat
wench, seen through her torch-light—and
humid lip, tho twist of tho tongue, the white
teeth, the oblique look, the glance of the eye,
the toss of the head, the quaint bow, the curv
ed shin, tho bandy leg, the nimble jig, the af
fected air of the wenches, the profuse perspi
, ration the cloud of dust, the lucid room, the
phiz of tho banjor’s turn, turn, turn, and Juber’s
song and clap, would call forth the combined
talents and lively 4 imagination of a Wirt, an
Irving, a Burns, an Addison, and n Dryden.
1 And if a northern abolitionist, with his pocket
, tilled with inflammatory documents and reso
; lutions, could have witnessed such a «cenc in
Virginia, he would, in my opinion, have con-
1 signed them to the flames, his great love for
the blacks, to the contrary notwithstanding.
THE STUMP TAIL COW.
■ A good many years ago a man stole a cow
from Morristown, N. J. and drove her to Phil
adelphia for sale. She was n common jyw e
'■ rough, except That she had lost her tail but a. I
bout six inches. The thief, fearing that by
the shortness of her tail he might be traced,
had procured in some way, probably from a
slaughter house, another cow’s tail, which he
fastened so ingeniously to the short tail, that'
it was not to be known that it had not regu
larly grown there.
As soon as the Jersey man missed his cotv.
ho set off for Philadelphia, thinking that she!
would probably be carried there for sale, and
it happoned that when he came to the ferry he,
got ; i’.o the same boat that was carrying over
his cow. and the fellow who stole her. As it
was natural that he should have his thoughts '
very much upon cows, he soon began to look i
at this one with great attention. She was, in- ,
deed, very much like his cow, he thought. Her I
marks agreed wonderfully, and she had exact- '
ly the same expression of face, but then the j
expression of her tale was so very different.:
It must be supposed that the new owner of the ;
cow felt rather uncomfortable during-this ex- |
amination, for be soon saw that this was the'’
person whose property he had stolen, and he i
was very uneasy lest he should take hold of
the tail, which he looked at so continually.
Upon the whole he thought it best to divert his
attention in some way, if possible, and there
fore steps up to him and says “neighbor, that
is a fine cow of mine, wont you buy her? you
seem to know what a good cow is.” “Oh,
dear me,” says the other, “I’ve just had a cow
stolen from me.” “Well,” says the thief,
“I’m sorry to hear that they’ve got to stealing
cattle, but I’ll sell off, and you could not better
replace your loss than by buying this cow; I’ll
warrant she’s as good as yours!” “Why,”
says the Jers-eyman, “she was exactly like
this one, only that she had no tail to speak of,
and if this one had not such a long tail, I’d
swear it was my cow.”—Every body now be
gan’to look at the cow’s tail, but the thief stood
nearer to it than any body, and taking hold of
it so as just to cover the splicing with his left
hand, and with a jaeknife in bis right pointing
to the tail, he said, “so if this cow’s tail were
only this long, you’d swear she was yours?”
“That I would,” says the other, who began to
be very much confused at the perfect resem
blance to his cow. except in this one particu
lar, when the thief, with a sudden cut of his
knife, took off the tail, just about an inch above
the splicing, and throwing it overboard, bloo
dy as it was, turned to the other and said, ‘now
swear it’s your cow’’—The bewilderment of
the poor man was now complete, but as he had
seen the tail cut off, and saw the blood trick
ing from it, he could of course, lay no claim
to the animal from the shortness of her tail; in
deed, here was proof positive that this was not
his cow, so the thief going over with him, sold
the cow without any further fear of detection.
