■ jrms .yy iM©[ao®¥ o “ Care to our coffin adds a nail no doubt, But every grin of laughter draws one out!” It seems that the race of the “ half-lmrse, half alligator” is not yet quite extinct. Yesterday, as we were passing by the Court House, where an election was going on, a real “screamer from the Nobs,” about six feet four in height, sprang out of the crowd and, rolling up his shirt-sleeves, commenced the following tirade : “ This is me ; if it arn’t darn tne and no mistake! Billy Earthquake, Esquire, com monly called Little Billy, all the way from the North Fork of Muddy itun ! I’m a small specimen, as you see, —a remote cir cumstance, a mere yearling, but cuss me, if I arn’t of the true “ imported breed,” and can whip any man in this section of country ! Whoop ! Won’t nobody come out and fight me ? Come out some of you and die decently, for lam spUeing for a fight! I han’t had one for more than a week, and if you don’t come out I’m “ flyblowed ” before sun-down, to a certingty! so come up to taw! “ May be you dont know who Little Billy is! I’ll tell you : I’m a poor man—it is a sact —and stnell like a wet dog; but 1 can't be run over! I’m tbe identical individual that grinned a whole menagerie out of coun tenance, and made the ribbed nose baboon hang down his head and blush ! W-b-o-o-p! I’m the chap too, that towed the “ Broad horn” up Salt River, where the snags were so thick that a fish could’ut swim without rubbing his scales off!—facts, and if any body denies it, just let ’em make their will! Cock-a-doodle-doo ! May be you never heard of the time the horse kicked me and put both of his hips out of jint—if it ain’t true, cut me up for cat fish bait! W-h-o-o-p! I’m the very infant that refused its milk be fore its eyes were open, and called out for a bottle of “old Rye!” W-b-o-o-p. P'r aps too, you never lieerd tell of the youth that tried to look loving at a gal and threw her into spasmodics, and slie’sa raving, roar in’ maniac to this day. Whoop ! I’m that 1 it the Cupid ! Talk to me about grinning tbe bark off a tree !—'taint nothing ; one squint of mine at a Bulls’ heel would blister it! Cock-a-doodle-doo! O ! I’m one of your toughest sort —live forever and then turn to a white oak post. Look at me, [said he, slapping his hands upon his thighs with the report of a pocket pistol,] I’m the ginc winc article—a real double acting engine and I can out run, out jump, out-swim, chaw more tobacco and spit less, and drink more whis ky and keep soberer, than any other man in these locaities! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Darn it [said Bill, walking otfin disgust] if that don’t make ’em fight, nothing will. I wish 1 may be kiln-dried, and split up into wooden shoe-pegs, if I believe there’s a chap among ’em that’s got courage enough to collar a :hen. Well I’ll go home and have another -•settlement with Jo Sykes. He’s a had chance tforafight, it's true, seeing as how lie’s hut ■ one eye left to gouge at, an * underbit’ out ■of both ears ; but poor fellow, he’s willing r.to Ido hi* best, and will stay a body’s appe tite, till the next shooting match.” —Exit 2. title Billy, grumbling. [First Love. —At the verdant age of seven rseen, I fell deeply and devotedly in love ■with Miss Julia Wiggins, a young lady four \years my senior. She seemed an angel. SSibe was very tall, and her shoulders had a sfitoop l thought very graceful. It is seldom tti>at shoulders match exactly, but the differ* • ence in the height of hers wasvery slight in • tleed. Her hair was a beautiful auhern, (barely a shade too light, and her eyes of ■.grey or hazel, I never could tell which, bad ;ti cast so light, that it would have been a ■libel to say she squinted. Her complexion was most fair—l may say too fair, for it made her freckle terribly; her nose bail a dlight turn, neither down nor up, but little ;to one side, and the down upon her lips ■would remind one of a peach, had it always ibeen trimmed sufficiently short. 1 loved her fondly, devotedly, but hope lessly. We sat one evening in the bower— at our feet were the cucumber vines, above ■us grew a gourd, around bloomed magnifi cent sunflowers. Floating across tbe gar •den, came the soft grunting of the pigs. I fell upon my knees, and squash went u musk-melon all over my new trowsers. “ Lovely being !” I cried, “ say but that thou wilt be mine.” I saw the rising blush—her eyes fell upon the ground, and she gave a sudden start. “Look there, you tarnal fool,” she said, “see how you have spattered my new silk apron.” A back woodsman in New York. —An amus ing scene took place lately in the upper part of Broadway, between an original from the west and a porter dealer. From what we could learn it appeared that the former had taken offence at some expressions of tbe latter, derogatory to the character of the in habitants of the great western valley, and being too well instructed in the rules of good breeding to resent the insult in his op ponent’s own shop, dared him into the street to have a fair fight. When we were pass ing, the Kentuckian was stripped to the buff, and in the attitude of “ Big Ben,” while the dealer in malt liquor wasquitely listening : to the effusions of his wounded pride, lean- j ing against the door, and puffing a cigar, j His eloquence had no affect on the impertur bable equanimity of the other, and he quit ted him instantly after the following saluta tion; “ You are too mean a chap for my no-” tice ; I would’nt whip you now at any late; but I’ve got a brother, only sixteen years I old—oh, how he’d lick you— he's the hyena of Kcntuck, wintering in Orleans /” A Pennsylvania editor thinks, and we suppose honestly, that the world will be stopped next April, according to Mr. Miller’s prophecy : but ho also thinks tbe suspension will be bnly temporary, and for the purpose of having the axles at the north and south poles greased ! The wag even goes so far as to recommend lard oil on the occasion, in order to test its qualities ! A clergyman told an Indian he should love his enemies. “ I do,” said the latter, “ for I love Rum and Cider.” A Yankee visited the West Indies, and having his attention called by the cries of an old man apparently one hundred, inquired the reason of his weeping, when the wrin kled and grey headed old man replied that his father had just whipped him. The Yan kee’s curiosity led him to see the father of a son so old, and finding him in a hut contig ous, began to reprimand him for chastising one so advanced in life. The father's apol ogy was this : “the rascal has been throwing stones at bis grandfather.” Joseph Coze was married a short time since, in Illinois, to Miss Susan Snarl. The | papers say that though it may be a Cozey \ affair for Susan, Joseph lias undoubtedly j got himself into a Snarl. A young dandy, who supported an enor i rnous moustache, asked a lady what she i thought of his looks. “Well,” said she, . “you look as if you had swallowed a poney, | and left the tail sticking out of your mouth.” Winter fashions for Gentlemen.—Absti nence from spirituous liquors—a regular at tendance at church—retrench merit in expen ditures—proper hours and proper company —society—love—courtship—marriage.
