Now, good fellows, listen, and a story I will tell, Os a mighty clever gentleman, who lived ex tremely well, In the western part of Arkansas, close to the Indian line, Where he gets drunk once a week on whiskey, and immediately sobers himself completely on the very best of wine; A fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line ! This fine Arkansas gentleman has a mighty fine estate Os five or six thousand acres or more of land, that will be worth a great deal some day or other, if lie don’t kill himself too soon, and will condescend to wait! .And font or five dozen negroes that bad rather work than not, And such quantities of horses, and cattle, and pigs, and other poultry, that he never pre tends to know how many he has got ; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line 1 This fine Arkansas gentleman has built a splen did house, On the edge of a big prairie, extremely well populated with deer, and hares, and grouse; And when he wants to feast his friends, ho has nothing more to do Than to leave the pot-lid off, and the decentlj behaved birds fly straight into the pot, know ing he’ 1 shoot ’em if they don’t, and he ha a splendid slew ; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line! This fine Arkansas gentleman makes severe hundred bales, Unless from drouth, or worm, a bad stand, oi some other d—d contingency, his crop i.‘ short or fails; And when it’s picked, and ginned, and baled, he puts it in a boat, And gets aboard himself, likewise, and charters the bar, and has a devil of a spree, while down to New Orleans ho and bis cotton float; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line! And when he gets to Now Orleans ho sucks a clptbing store. And puts up at the City Hotel, the St. Louis, tho bl. Charles, the Verandah, and all tho other hotels in tho city, if he succeeds in finding any more ; Then he draws upon the merchant, and goes about and treats Every man from Kentucky, and Arkansas, and Alabama, and Virginia, and tho Choctaw nation, nnd every other d—d vagabond he meets, This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw lino! The last time be wont down there, when ho thought of going back, After staying about fifteen days, or less, he dis covered that, by lending and by spending, and being a prey in general to gamblers, backmen, loafers, brokers, hoosiers, tailors, servants, and many other individuals, white and black, He'd distributed his assets, and got rid of all his means, And had nothing to show for them, barring two or three headaches, an invincible thirst, and as extremely general and promiscuous ac qnaiutanco in tho aforesaid Nbw Orleans ; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to tho Choc taw lino! Now, how this gentleman got home is neither hero nor there, But I’ve been credibly informed that he swore worse than thirty seven pirates, nnd fiercely combed his hair; And after ho got safely home, they say he took an oath That he’d never bet a cent again at any game of cards; and, moreover, for want of docent advisors, ho foreswore women and whiskey both ; That fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line.' This fine Arkansas gentleman wont strong for Pierce and King, And so came on to Waabiugton io get a nice fat office, or some other mighty comfortable thing; But like him from Jerusalem that went to Jer icho, Ho fell among the thieves again, and could not win a bet, whether he coppered or not, his cash was bound to go ; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line I So whou his money all was gone he took unto his bed, And Dr. Reyburn* physicked him, and the cham ber maid, who had great affection for him with her arm bold on his head; And al! his friends came weeping round, and bidding him adieu, And two or tbroe dozen preachers, whom hi didn’t kndw at all, and didn’t care a curse il ho didn’t, came praying for him too ; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choc taw line! They closed his eyes and spread him out, al ready for the tomb, And, merely to console themselves, they openei the biggest kind of a game of faro righ there in his own room; But when he heard tho checks bo flung the linen off his face, tnd sung out, just precisely as ho used to do when ho was alive: “Brindle,f don’t turn ! hold on ! 1 go twenty on tho king, and cop per on the ace 1” this tine Arkansas gentleman,close to the Choc taw line! 3 A famous Washington physician, fl ho Croekford of Washington. [From Louisville Journal, JUtli ult. ENTIRELY TOO POLITE. A MEMPHIS BANKER LOSES A GOLD WATCH, A DIAMOND RING AND A WAD OF GREEN BACKS. About three weeks ago there came to Louisville, by the mailboat from Cincinnati, a young girl who announced to her fellow passengers that she was en route for New Orleans, whither she was going to occupy an engagement she had already accepted as governess to a wealthy creole family. She was an agreeable person in her appear ance and manners. Dressed in Subdued but exquisite taste, with a languid, melan choly cast of countenance that lighted up in the most flattering way when it was ap proached, she attracted attention in spite of an apparent effort, which she made at first, • to evade it. Iler brother—“clerk in a heavy Main street house”—was to meet her at the wharf. She was to spend a day or two in Louisville ; thence she would go direct by the cars to New Orleans. The passage down the river from Cincin nati was very lively. The boat was crowded with gay people, and after supper our young lady entertained quite an audience, who collected about the piano, playing and singing in a ravishing manner. Indeed, one middle-aged gentleman, a Memphis cotton broker, became enchanted, and did not leave the cabin until a late hour. Next morning he reappeared, found the object of his sudden devotion quietly waiting the arrival of her brother, and took up his po sition by her side, declaring that he should not leave her until she was in safe hands. The brother did not appear. One—two —three hours passed. No brother—not even a cloud of dust upon the levee. The cabin-boys and chamber-maids were clean ing the saloons and state-rooms for the return trip. The steamer was in confusion. What should be done ? The Memphis gen tleman proposed that Miss should go up to one of the hotels and dispatch a note to her brother. She assented, a carriage was called, and they entered it : but to, when they reached the hotel, the porte-monnaie of young lady, containing over one hun dred dollars, was gone. Th/carriage was 4 searched. No port-monnaic. They drove back to the boat. The state room occupied by Miss the preceding night was searched. Not so much as the scent of a greenback. The gentleman was nonplusssed. Ihe lady was in tears. She sat down, in fact, in the vacant state-rooin and howled. And what did the Memphis cotton broker do 1 Gener ous man I lie went below, bribed a waiter, put a wad of bills in his band, and sent him up stairs to say to the lady that tho money had been swept out of the cabin, and per haps it was hers. Perhaps it wr» ; of course it was. She dried her eyes at once, and pocketed the money, and returned to the hotel a happier and, with her new-found escort, a richer woman. Old Memphis was a little taken aback by this. It was now well on to mid-day, and still the Main street brother had failed to come to time. Should he not go himself and look up the negligent young man? Oh, no, Miss said, not for the world ; her brother was very peculiar; he would come pres ently. Presently came, however, without the brother—and late that afternoon she an nounced that he was not in the city; that her letters had miscarried ; that her brother was, n fact, off on a drumming expedition. At the same time she declared her intention to wait for him. When Memphis heard this he-said he would wait too, and that evening the couple visited the negro minstrels together. They were quite happy and contented. After the minstrels they stopped in at an ice-cream sa loon and had supper. During supper Miss noticed that her beau was wearing a very beautiful watch and chain. She asked to look at it. Memphis took it oil' and she playfully put it on. It was very becoming, she said, and did he mind her wearing it a little while? Gallantry was only too de lighted to see her wear it. Next she noticed a diamond ring on his forefinger. This he put on her finger himself, and what a charm iug little hand she had to be sure. They were vastly complimentary and happy, and got back to the hotel about eleven o'clock, when they separated to meet at breakfast next morning. What Memphis dreamed of we know not. Doubtless his dreams were blissful. He woke, dressed, descended to the parlor, rang for a servant, and sent to No. 13 for the Indy. Presently the servant returned —. “Nobody in No. 13, sir.’’ ■What?” “No, sir. Lady stayed there last night, but she went off on the early train - ” Memphis actually staggered, and could only gasp : “Which early train ?” To which the servant replied, in one tragic trisyllable, “Chicago.” It was too true. At four o’clock, when the omnibus,started across the river, Miss ap peared among the passengers, paid her bill, and wc'nt with it. Memphis telegraphed Indianapolis. No go—train gone. He tele graphed each road leading thence, but in vain. His one hundred dollars in greenbacks, his watch, worth five hundred, and his dia mond ring, worth a thousand, were all gone, “like tenants Jhat quit without warning, down the back entry of time.” He got a detective, went to Chicago, returned by St. Louis, all to no purpose. Finally he reached Memphis, accounting to his afflicted family for his protracted absence by “the .sudden rise in funds.” RAILROAD SCHEDULES.
