A benevolent man was Absalom Bliss— At each and every talc of distress He blazed right up like a rocket ; He foil for ail beneath poverty's smart, Who wore fated to bear life's roughest purl— He felt for them in his inmost heart, But never fell in liis yivr/teE He didn't know rightli what was meant By the Bible’s promised four hundred per cent For charity's donation ; Bor he ac ted sis he thought railroad stocks Am: bod s ■ lie. In math ear lili locks, '4 ere bclivr,. with pc k ts bum full of rucks, l'ltnii ll' -iv Fitly speculation. Yet all said he was an excellent man ; I’o the poor he’d preach—for the poor he'd plan; To heller them Ire was willing ; But the oldest man who had heard him pray And preach for the poor in a pitiful way, Could hardly remember him rightly to say Mr. Bliss had e’er given a shilling. The Keiituckiiui’s Miniature. Daniel Long was a tall specimen of liu. manity, as his name implies, hailing front Kentucky ; he stood about six feet eight in his stockings, and was wanting in flesh, although he made up for it in siature. He had greai staring eyes, of that peculiat color which generally appertains to the leline trihe ; a nose commonly called a “pug;” a huge mouth, which, as the fa cetious Dr. Valentine observes, would go round his head, if it was not for his ears ; these ornamental appendages were con cealed by a dense shock of hair, of the reddest hue Imaginable. He was very decently clad, and one evening, while on his visit to one of out Eastern cities, he sauntered along the principal streets of . His attention was soon arrested by the display of some miniatures in a window ; attached was a card, informing the passers by that the artist was to he found at certain hours, ac enmpanied with a polite invitation to the public in general to walk up to his studfo and examine the collection on hand, to which there was “free admission.” Our her > accepted tl.e invitation forth with, and made his way up stairs, and, opening a door, found himself in tho pres ence of the painter ; he made an awkward bow, which was responded to by a cour teous salutation from the other. ”1 say, mister,” thus Dan opened the conversation, “did you paint all them pic ters in the winder down that - ?” “Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Easel. “Wall,” he continued, “they’re darned fine looking, and ym air an almighty smart (hap, I svvow. flow long does it take a feller to do ’em up slick, eh ” “It depends upon the style and the size.’ “Now look here, stranger, there’s a gal what loves m. , an I low her, and we both or us love t’ 'liter; I’m going to marry her, lam ; what’ll you have fir paintin' her pk ter 1” “If you wish a low-priced article, 1 can accommodate you at twenty five dollars ; but should you desire a mote finished arti cle, in my best style, 1 increase my price to fifty ——” “Oh, darn vour fifty,” rho Kentuckian .interrupted 1 ; “I say, mister, you may be gin it right away.” “Very well, sir ; when will the lady be ready for a sitting ?” inquired Mr. Easel. “Her what ?” ejaculated Dan. “Her first siting,” rejoined the artist, “when shall I first have the honor of see ing her I” “Seeing her !” our hero repeated.— “seeing Iter! YVhy, stranger, she’s way out West—-she won’t be here at all.” “And how am 1 to make a likeness, ne %'er having-seen her, or known anything of her 1" “Didn’t you tell me, stranger, that' you painted them picters down thar, and if vou painted them, you kin paint her ; she’s an all-fired putty gal as ever I seed, or you seed, or anybody else seed ; jist paint her as pretty as you kin do.” “But, my dear sir, are you not aware that there use different styles of beauty ? Hers are two pictures,” continued Mr. Easel, “of different persons, though both are considered beauties; the one a blonde, the other a brunette : you perceive there is-a remarkable distinction between them.’’ Daniel stared at them, and. after a mo ment, exclaimed “Wu!, I'll jist look round yous shop, an see if I cflr.’t scare up somethin’ tiiut’shke hor, anyhow.” NUMBER 6 And in accordance with this original idea, he run his eye over eveiy one of the paintings with which the vttidio was a domed, hot without seeing anything which could compare with his Dulcinea. At last he turned towards Mr. Easel with a sorrowful glance, and was about to speak, when he espied a pair of plaster casts, and vaulting over towards the man j tel-piece, on which they rested, exclaimed. “By golly, thar she is now ! ’ceptrn’ she's all white.” The cast was an Apollo ! Mr. Easel looked at him in perfect a mazemeut, revolving in his mind whether his visiter vva> a fool, n madman, or one playing off u practical joke. He teinem bored, too, t hat it was not the first of April. While he was thus undecided, Mr. Long began : “Now, Mr. Painter, here's ten dollars In begin with; do you paint her likei that ere stater, only make her took somethin’ like flesh and blood, and dress her tip nice. If I didn’t know she war alive this mo ment, I’d swar that is her ghost.” “But, sir,” responded tho painter, look ing at the note, and finding it genuine, “that is a cast of the celebrated Apollo, and ” “Never mind,” struck in Dan, whether it’s Polly or Nancy : I say it’s liko my gal, and jest you get to work and have the picter done agin I go home.” The paintei then inquired her complec tioo, color of hair, eyes, &c., and promised to exert himself to the utmost of his power Dan left ; the artist was in a genuine quail dary : but he resolved to tty at all events, and succeeded 1 in making a very good-look ing picture. Our Kentucky ftierul came in every day to see how his gal’s face was “gittin' on;'* and to eorrcct mistakes. At last the rriiniatuTe was completed, paid for, and Dan set offhomewat and bound. and in a few days arrived safe and sound. Alas! for the inconstancy of the female sex ! Mr. Mong found that a Mr. Short had supplanted him in the affections of his lady-love, and had made her Mrs. Short. “Cheated—humbugged !” screamed Dan ; “fifty dollars for your paintin’’ that ain’t worth fifty coppers to me now !” “Oh ! California is all that’s left to me !” And he took passage that very night. Dr\n Swift’s HaTim and of Fori’EitY.— Dean Swift was a great enemy to extrava' gance in dress, and particulat ly to tint ties tructivo stentation in the middling classes, i which lead them to make an appearance above their condition in life. Os his mode of reproving this folly in those persons for whom he had an esteem, the following in stance has been recorded. When George Faulkner, the printer returned from Lorn don where be had been soliciting subscrip tions tor his edition to the D< :■ s works, he went to pay his respects to Vm, dressed in a lace.! waistcoat, a ! g wi-.-. and Other fopperies. Swift received him with the same ceremonies as if he iiud been a stran ger “And pray, sir,” said he, "what ate yotw commands with tne 7 ’ “1 thought it was my duly, sir,” replied George, “to wait on you immediately on my arrival from London.” “Pray, sir, who are you?’’ • ‘George Faulkner the printer, sir.”— “You George Faulkner, the printer ! wlty you are the most impudent, hare faced icoui.drel of an imposter I have ever met vviiii George Fuuldnri is a platn, sober citizen, and would never trick himself out in lace and other fopperies. Gel you gone, you rascal, or I will immediately send to the house of collection.” Away went George as fast as he could, and hav ing change his dress he returned to the Deanery, where he was received with the greatest cordiality. “My fi iend George, I '' says the Dean, “I ern glad to see you re turned saie from London. Why, here has been an impudent fellow w itli me just now, dressed in a laced waistcoat, and ho would fain pass himself of for you, but I soon sent him away with a flea in his ear.” M:% TittMONiAL Advice. —The following short advice, by William Penn, should be kept in mind by all young-persons who are thinking ofcommiiling matrimony ;—uNe ver marry but fur lat e, aml sec that thou lore uhat is lonely. When boots first came into fashion, a pair wu* presented lo a worthy Mayor in some part of England. Hu examined them, attentively, and concluded they, were ‘a new kind of baskeis. Accordingly when he went to church the next Sunday, he slung otto round his neck and put his pray er book in it. His wife used the other to bring horn* her marketing in. BOOK AND JOB PRIN i .
