SILVER MOON.
As I strayed from my cot at the close of the
day, -3 I I ■
To muse on the beauties of June,
’Neath a jessamine shade I spie d afairtnaid
And she sadly complained to the moon:
u Km n hart on flic mountain my lover so brave
So handsome and manly to view,
So kind and sincere, and he lov'd most dear,
Ob Edwin, no love was more true.
"But now he is dead! and Ms youth once-so
, e*y>
Is cut down like a rose m full bloom;
And he silently sleeps, and I'm thus -left to
weep.
By the sweet silver light of the moon.
‘■But bis grave Ill seek out ’till morning
appears,
Ami weep for my lover so brave;
1’H embrace the cold earth aud bedew with
rhy tears
The flowers that bloom o'er his grave.
• Ob uever again can my heart throb with
My iost on 11 hope to meet soon—
Am! kind friends will weep* o’er the grave
, where he sleeps,
By the sweet silver light of the moon.
"Roll on silver moon, guide the traveller on
hU way,
"While the nightingale’s song is in tune;
I never, never more from my lover will estray
By the sweet silver light of the moon.”
’Brief strain
A Professional Preference.—
IIow do you like the character of St.
Paul?’’ i asked a parson of a landlady one
day, during a con versa: ion about the
old saints and the apostles. “ Ah, he
was a good, clever old soul, I know, for
he once said, you know, that we must
eat what is set before us, and ask no
questions for conscience sake. I always
thought I would like him for a bo rder.”
Top-boots are all the spasm in New
York now. The cream of Broadway
wear tassels to them, and a sporting
whip thrust out from the sidepocket
completes the tableaux. Next thing we
shall hear of will be gilt edged shirt
collars.
A witness in a liquor case at Man
chester, N. II. the other day, gave the
following testimony: “ Sal .soda is ice
and water, and corns stuff squirted into
it from a concern. Don’t know wheth
er it is intoxicating or not—it makes
one feel good—feet lift easier.”
The following laconic epitaph, carved
upon a Spanish tomb-stone, should be
remembered : * I was well—tried to
feel better—took physic, and here 1
ant.”

T. BISHOP* SON.
A man was once arrested by a farmer
for stealhg ducks. The farmer said
he should know them anywhere, and
went to describe the peculiarity,—‘Why,
said^ the counsel for the prisoner, ‘they
can’t be such a rare breed—I have some
like them in my yard.’ ‘That’s very
likely sir,’ said the farmer; ‘they are
not the only ducks 1 have had stolen
lately.’
To undertake to reason a girl out ot
love is as absurd as would be the atlerapf
to extinguish Vesuvius with a glass of
water.
Dr. Franklin used to say that rich
widows were the only piece of second
hand goods that sold at prime cost
Gallant.—A lady, playing on t
pianoforte, on being called on for a
dead march, asked a celebrated pro
fessor of music what she should play?
lie replied, “ Auy inarch that you play
will be a dead one, for you’re sure to
murder it”

A PRIVATE ROOM.
OR, THE EFFECT OF PUNCn DRINKING.
One particular dark, damp, dull,
drizzly j|and disagreeable day in the
latter part of November, a tall, gaunt,
queer-looking customer, dressed in a
blue coat, with metal buttons, with “yal-
ler’ striped pantaloons, and calf-skin
terminations, sat ‘‘ solitary and alone,”
in-a little room, situated in a certain lit
tle tavern, in—-—i-treet, Philadelphia.
Before him was a little, round table,
on whose marble top was «* not a little”
pitcher of smoking punch, “screechen
hot,” and a wine glass. The solitary
individual was York—nothin’ else—dear
—*nd that was his second pitcher
fun—nigh his second empty. One
minute after, and you couldn’t—fact,
you see—have squeezed a drop out of
either pitcher or glass, by a forty-two
pounder hydraulic press.
York rang the bell, The waiter
popped his head in the door,
“ Ring, sa ?”
•‘ Of course I did. Is it clearing
off?”
** No sa—damp, sa—fog so thick, sa,
you could ladle out ’ith a spoon, sa.—
Have anything sa?”
“ More punch, and strong.”
" Yes, sa,—-immediately sa.”
The waiter withdrew and in a few
seconds’returned with the third pitcher
of punch, and York was beginning to
feel glorious, when, on raising up his
eye?, he saw his own figure in n pier
glass, directly opposite. He rubbed
his eyes again.
“ By thunder!” said he, ** here’s some
fellow sitting right before me, I’ll swear
there’s impudence for you! This is a
private room, sir, for my sole accommo
dation.”
The Battle op Life,—Its several
stage; may be «hu« defined* Court
ship is the engagement or siege, the
proposal is the assault, and matrimony
the victory. And what comes after
matrimony? Why, lam sure I don’t
know,unless.it is the Te Deum (indium)
that comes after most victories.”
Ground and Un-ground Feed.
Those experienced and skilful farmers
the Lebanon (N. H.) Shakers, state
that more than 30 years practice leads
them to estimate ground corn at one-
third higher than unground, as food for
cattle, and especially for fattening pork.
The same experience also induces them
to put a higher value upon cooked than
upon raw meal; and for fattening ani
mals, swine particularly, they consider
3 of cooked equal to 4 bushels, of raw
meal. Until within the last three or
four years they have fattened annually,
for 30 years, from 40,000 to 50,000
pounds of pork, exclusive of lard and
offal; and their constant habit has been
to cook the meal.
A True mother.—A writer beauti
fully remarks that a man’s mother is the
representative of his Maker. Misfortune
and mere crime set no barriers between
her and her son. While his mother
lives, a man has one friend on earth
who will not desert him when he i?
needy. Her affection flows from a pure
fountain and ceases only at the Jocean of
eternity.
He waited a minute, expecting an
answer, but liis reflection only stared at
him and held its peace.
**I was saying, sir, that this is my
private roj.m, mine, sir,” cried York,
fetching his voice an octave higher than
it was before. No answer was made,
and he rang the bell furiously. The
waiter made his appearance again.
“ Ringsa ?”
44 Yes 1 did ring. Did’nt I a»k for a
private room ?**
• ** Yes sa, this is a private room, sa.’*
** It is! Why there’s a fellow sitting
right opposite me now, on the other side
of the table. Rot his impudence.”
“Table, sa—fellow, sa?”
•‘‘Yes there is. Well, just never
mind. Bring on some more punch and
a couple of glasse.”
In a very short time, tbe|fourth pitch
er, with two glasses, made its appear
ance.
York filled one of the glasses, and
then shoved it over the table.
“ Will you drink, said he addressing
the figure in the glass.
“ Oh you won’t eh ? Well, I-I will*
And so.be did.
“ Better drink, old fellow,” continued
he. *• Your liquor is getting cold,” and
you look as if you was fond of the
thing.”
No answer being returned, York finish
ed the pitcher, and rang the bell again.
In popped the waiter,
•* Ring sa.”
“ To be sure 1 did. Did’nt you h»*ar
the b-b-bell ?” ‘
“I did.”
“ Did’nt I order a -p-p-prhrate room ?
Eh ?”
“ Yes, 6a, this is a private room, sa.”
•* A pretty private room this is, with
a f-f-fellow {sitting right opposite that
won’t take a glass of punch when it’s
offered him, aud a r-r-red nosed man at
that O, well, never mind, bring me
more punch, and t-t-tuto biers. I’ll try
him again.”
Presently pitcher number 5,,and glass
es to match, was borne in with doe
state.
“ Belter try some, old boy,” said
York, coaxingly, to his double.The
reflex merely looked good natured, but
said nothing.
“ Well, continued York, with a sigh,
if this is’nt the most infamous, Ivever
mind, I’ll drink the punch.” *
And so he did, every bit of it. About
five minutes sufficed to end the pitcher.
York rang the bell superfuriousiy. The
waiter came again.
f t J^J n cr ^ ? *
<• Why! certain. Why should’nt I 7
Where’s the man—who keeps the—
place?”
“ Boss, sa 7 I’ll see ’im sa.
Shortly r.fter, mine host, a quiet-look
ing little man, with a mottled, calico-
patterned face and a shining bald head,
made his appearance. *****
m W-w-what’s to pay?” demanded
York, rising and assuming an air of
dignity. , . . „
“ Five punches—five levies, sir.
>t There’s the money, sir,” said York,
forking over the coin. “ And now I
want to know why, when I call for a
private room, you should put me here
with s-s-somebody else ?”
.« There’s nobody here but you and I,
sir!”
» Nobody !. Do you s-s-sposc 1 can t
see? Do you think 1 am drunk? There,
look there ! two of ’em by jingo J” ?
m Well, sir, I must confess I can t see
any but us two.” jfe
“You can’teh?” And York dragged
“ Look
to the
the land-lord to the table,
there,” continued he, pointing
glass. “Th-th-theie’s the rascils now.
One of ’ems enough like you to be your
brother, and the other is the mos Lord-
forsaken, meanest looking white man I
ever saw.”
OLD, BUT GOOD.
Soon after the revolutionary war,
Capt. P., a brave Yankee office?, was at
St Petersburg, in Russia, anti while
there, accepted an invitation to dine;
there was a large number at table, and
among the rest an English lady, who
wished to appear one of the knowing
ones. ■- *
This lady, on understanding that an
American was one of the guests, ex
pressed to one of her friends a deter
mination to quiz him. She fastened on
him like a tigress, making many in
quiries respecting our habits, customs,
dress, manners, and modes of life, edu
cation, amusements, etc., etc.
To her questions Capt. P. gave
answeis that satisfied all the company
except the lady ; she was determined
not to be satisfied, and the following
short dialogue took place:
Lady.—Have tbn rich people in your
country any carriages? For I suppose
there are some that call themselves
rich.
Capt. P.—My residence is in a small
town upou an island, where there are
but few carriages kept—but in the
larger towns and cities on the main
land, there are a number kept in a style
suited to our republican manners.
Lady.—I can’t think where you find
drivers—I should not think the Ameri
cans knew how to drive a coach.
Capl. P.—We find no difficulty on
that account, madam; we can have a
plenty of drivers by sending to England
for them.
Lady —(speaking very quick)—I
think the Americans ought to drive the
English, instead of the English driving
the Americans.
Capt P.—We did, madam, in the last
war, but since pence we permit the Eng
lish to drive us!
The lady half, cht ked with anger,
stood mute a minute, and then left the
room, whispering to her friend, “ the
Yankees are too much for us in the
cabinet as well as in the field.”
“ How do you keep books?”—■“ By
double entry. I make one entry and
father makes another.”
Several children have recently re
ceived at the baptismal font the name of
Hiawatha.
