OR HOW THE POXY BUN HIS LEGS OPP ! A queer liule animal was Joe Dunk- lin’s pony—one of those freaks which sometimes happen even in the well re gulated family of old dame nature.— And yet he was anything but a monster. You could contemplate him, in fact, with feelings of pleasure, ^for a more bcucvolent, good natured looking quad ruped never ambled upon legs -—legs— aye, there’s the rub. Poor Dick’s were bis only weakness. To hi* otherwise faultless symmetry, these appendages formed a roost striking ana ludicrous contrast, there being not jrqje than six inches of legs from each of lheToiir joints to the hoofs; and when be was in mo tion, heaven protect you from weak blood vessels or apoplexy. On one occasion, when Joe and Dick were in town, a crowd collected to con template this marvel in horse-flesh.— While at its thickest, Joe emerged from a neighboring bar-room, where he had just been burying his nose in a julep, and elbowing bis way to-tbc focus of at traction, addressed himself to the near est looker. Well, stranger, what do you think of the critter? he’s one of’ era aint he ? I have seen the Si’mese twins, and the two legged bear—besides any quanity of insects, from a bed-bug to a boacon- strictor—but I never saw one that run himself into that predicament yet!” “You don’t pretend to say that horse ran his legs off?” said the individual, incredulously. “I don’t pretend to say anything else, responded Joe, looking the stran ger full in the eye, “and I’ll tell you how it was.” With this Joe mounted a hogshead, and, addressing the crowd, began. “One day—no.matter when—I was riding Dick slowly across one of them infernally broad prairies, that seem to have no end nor sides, (lying between Fort Leavenworth and the Rocky Moun tains,) and lbinkingai>out the probable chances of losing my traps and scalp in case I met with the Pawnees, when a low, rumbling noise fell upon my ear, like the muttering of distant thunder.— 1 looked up, there wan’t a cloud—the sky was just os blue and quiet as my wife Sally’s eye. So it couldn’t be thunder. It might be an earthquake.— This wasn’t a very pleasant reflection, for, as I had lived in New Madrid, and seen the giound gape some, I expected every minute to find myself and Dick beautifully buried, without the assis tance of undertaker or sexton. “ The sound by this time had increas ed to a pretty chunky roar, and as there was no chance of being swallowed up, I thought it only reasonable to take an observation, for things began to look as if they wouldn’t last long. Turning in my saddle, I saw oneoi the most inter esting spectacles, to a man situated as I was, that I ever expect to look on again. About half a mile behind me, roaring, snorting, blowing, and ranning as if fiends were alter them, was one of the most unrighteous piles of buffalo ever congregated together. And they put it down as if each fellow was stri ving to be the first to get a dig at me.- nut>u<.~m.chn tiUt IbK.n. u>. 1 lncJ to appear cool, but it was no use skeleton, with Iom of appetite and general derangement —my hair kept rising, till it got SO Stiff that each bristle Vould have balanced a lo give up my office here, which I held in the custom-1 P ,a t e * ; Heavens! how fierce they look- »«-—— 'ed, with their eyes flaming like fire- coals, and their shaggy manes stream ing in the wind!” ♦ DR.

Instances of Presentiment. I have heard of several cases of peo ple hurrying home from a presentiment of fire ; and Mr. M. Calderwood once, when absent from home, seized with such an anxiety about his family that, without being able in any way to account for it, he felt impelled to fly to them and remove them from the house they were inhabiting: one wing of which fell down immediately after wards. No notion of such a misfortune bad ever before occurred to him, was there any reason whatever to pect it; the accident originating from some defect in the foundation. A cir cumstance exactly similar to this, is re lated by Stilling of Professor Bohm, teacher of mathematics at Marburg; who, being one evening in company, was suddenly seized with a conviction that he ought to go home. As, howev er, he was very comfortably taking tea, and had nothing to do at home, he re sisted the admonition; but it returned with such force that at length he was obliged to yield. On reaching his house, he found everything as he had left it; but he 1 now felt himself urged to removi his bed from the corner in which it stood to another ; but, as it had always stood there, he resisted this impulsion also.— However,the resistance was vain;absu rd as it seemed, he felt he must do it.- So he summoned the maid, and with her aid drew the bed to the other side of the room ; after which he felt quite at case, and returned to spend the rest of the evening with his friends. At ten o’clock the party broke up.and he returned home, and went to bed and to sleep. In the middle of the night he was awakened by aloud crash, and on looking out he that a large beam had fallen, bring ing part of the ceiling with it, and was lying exactly on the spot his bed had occupied. One of the most remarkable cases of presentiment I know, is that which oc curred not very long since on board of Her Majesty’s ships, lying off Portsmouth. The officers being one day at the mess table, a young Lieuten ant P. suddenly laid down his knife and fork, pushed away his plate, and turned extremely pale. He then rose from the table, covering his face with his hands, and retired from the room.— The president of the mess supposing him to be ill,, sent one of the young men to inquire what was the matter, first Mr. P. was unwilling to speak ; but, on being pressed, he confessed that he had been seized by a sudden and ir resistible impression that a brother he had then in India was dead, died,” said he, “ on the 12th of August, o’clock; I am perfectly certain of No arguments could overthrow this conviction, which, in due course of post, was verified to the letter..

Lobk at that angel,” he said, “ with a serious mien,, as if u.hard duty were be fore him ! His charge is the child of the rich and noble of the land, who will, bring him up in pride and luxury ; and his heart will grow hard and selfish, and selfishness in high places has few sor rows, and without sorrow the voice of his good angel will hardly be beard. “ And see that spirit who passes with eager, hopeful look! To him is commit ted the child of a vicious father, who is rioting at this moment that a child is born unto him. But open vices are not so baneful as specious virtues. The child’s heart will be wounded and bum bled in the sins of his father, and, in pay ing the penalty of another’s guilt, he will himself seek the paths of virtue.” Then another spirit passed, with firm but peaceful aspect. “Hischarge will be arduous. The child now born will have wilful and tu multuous passions, and his heart will be stubborn and perverse, and he will de fy authority, and go far wrong, and the world will say there is no redemption for him, and even his father’s face will be turned from him. But, in the silence of a sick chamber, a mother;, will plead incessantly for him, and the child of many prayers shall yet be brought home to the fold.” Then came one with anxibns mien, and he was guardian to a genius who would win the applause and idolatry of thousands ; and a second, with heaven ly compassion, beautiful and moving to behold, and he was hurrying to the ob- oflsp: ‘ mg it, even in summer. We remember seeing^Ir. A. two win ters since* when he was going down Broadway by this house. A couple of servants were assisting .-him across the pavement to a sleigh that was drawn up by the curb-stone. The old gentle man’s head seemed bent completely down \viih ; age and sickness ; lie was muffled in furs, and entirely unable help himself. The very groom, a hearty young Irishman, with perhaps not two dollars in his pocket, looked with pity on the great millionaire! Certainly u< man, of the crowds that hurried aloii' that busy promenade, would have ac cepted the rich capitalist’s wealth, tied to the condition of being ‘ in his shoes.’ Some curiosity has long been felt at the north, to know the disposition of Mr. A’s immense wealth. It is rumored that a benevolent bequest has been made of several hundred thousand dollars; that literary institutions have been founded, aud so on. We shall soon learn whether there is any truth in these stories. Fitz Green Halleck, the poet, has for some years been the confidential clerk of Mr. A. and will doubtless receive a hand some legacy.
