How sweet to a smoker when weary, Is the breath of a fragrant spgar ' What a balm to the spirit when lonely, To gaze at the smoke as it flies ! And bright as the dreams, tho' dreams only, That with each floating circlet arise ! When cares flesh is heir topcrplex us, And trifles, more harassing far, Arise in our path arid sore vex us, llovv soothing a fragrant segar ! If friends should prove false and leave us, W e can pass oft' the thing with a joke, Nor allow tin ir desertion to grieve us, But let the wound vanish in smoke. When riches seem slow in collecting, And prospects look gloomy as night, ; There’s nought like segars for directing Our fancy to visions more bright. Though life seems unpleasant and weary, And its path unhiest by a star, Yet the smoker will feel when lie's weary, That there’s bliss in a fragrant segar. Taking the Census. Our next encounter was with an old lady notorious in her neighborhood for her gar tulity and simple mindedness. Having been warned of her propensity, and being somewhat hurtied when we called upon her, we were disposed to get through busi ness as soon as possible. Striding into the house, and drawing our papers—“ Taking the census, ma’am !” quoth we. “Ah! well ! yes! bless your soul, take a seat. Now do ! Are you the gen le man that Mr. Fillmore has sent an to take the scnsisl 1 wonder! well, how was Mr. Fillmore and family when yo seed him 1” We told her vve had never seen the president; did'nl know iiim from a ’’side of sole leather;” we had been written to, to take the census. “Well, now, there agin ! love your soul! Well, l ’spose Mr Ft.lmore writ you a letter, did he ? Nol Well there’s mighty little here to take down times is haul; but it looks like people can’t get their jest rights in this country ; and the law is all for the rich and none for the poor. Did you ever hear tell of that case my hoys has got agin old Simpson ? Looks like they will never git to theeend of it. The children will suffer, 1 am mighty afeard. Did you ever see Judge B ? Yes! Well, did you ever hear him say what he was agwine to do in the boys case agin Simpson; Not vv t?u, Mjiui i you ax >jirn f !ic iicXt tin<o you see him, and wiite me word, and tell him what 1 say; I’m nothing but a poor widow, and rny boys hasn’t got larniu,atid old Simpson tuk ’em in. It’s a mighty hatd case, and the will oughn’t never to a been broke, but ” Here we iulerpostd ami told the old la dy that our time was precious. After a good deal of trouble we got through with the description of the members of her fa ini ly, and the “statistical table” as far as the article "cloth.’’ “How many yards of cotton cloth did you weave in ISSO, ma’am ?” Well, now!—less see! You know Sally Higgins that used to live in the Smith setlement? poor thing, her daddy druv her off—poor gal, she couidn t lieip it. 1 dare say. Well, Sally she come to stay wi me when the old man druv her away, and she was a powerful good hand t'» weave, and I did think she and help me a power. Well, arter she'd bin here awhile, her baby hit took sick, and old MissiSti ing er she undertuk to help it she’s a power ful good hand, old Miss Stiiuger, roots and yearbs, and sicli like! Well, she made a sort of a tea, as I was saying, and she gin it to Sally’s baby, it got wuss—the cieetur—and she gin it lea, and looked like, the mote she gin it tea, the more—” “My dear madam, I am in a hurry— please tell me how many yards of cotton you wove in 1850. 1 want to get through and go on.” “Well, well, vvho’d a thought you’d'a bin so snappish ! Well, as I was say in,’Sail’s [ child hit kept gitting wus, and old Miss ! Stringer, she kept a givin’ it the yet b tea ; j till at iast the child hit looked like hit tcouJd 1 die any how. And ’bout the time the child was at its wust, old Daddy Sykes he he cum alon, and he said if we’d git some : night-shed betries, and stew them with a I little scream and some hogs lard—now old NUMBER 7. Daddy Sykes is mighty fine old matt, and he gin the boys a heap of mighty good counsel ’bout that case—boys, says he, I'll tell you what you do : you go and ” “Old lady,” said we, "do tell about your cloth, and let thesickchild and Miss Strin ger, Daddy Sykes, the boys and the law suit go to grass. I’m ,;n a hurry !” “Gracious bless your dear sou!! don’t git aggravated. 1 wasjist tellin’ you how it come I did’nt weave no cloth last year.” “Oh, well, you did’nt weave any cloth last year. Good ! we’ll go on the next at ti le.” "Yes ! you see the child hit begun to swell and turn yaller, and hit kept a wallin’ its eyes and a moanin’ and knowd ” “Nevermind about the child—just te!| me the value of the poultry you taised last year.” "Olt, well—yes—thechickensyou mean. Why, I recken you never in your born days seed a poor creter have the luck that 1 did—and looks like we never will have good luck agin ; for ever since old Simp son tuk that case up to the Chancery court ” “Never mind the case; let’s hear about the chickens if you please.” “Bless you, honey, the owls destroyed and about the best half that I did raise.— Every blessed night they'd come and set on the comb of house, and boo, lion, boo. and one night in particklur, I remwmber, l had just got up for the night-shed salve to 'int the little gal with “Well, well what was the value of what you did raise 1 “They got so had—the owls did—that they tuk the old hens as well’s the yountr chickens The night I was tellin ’bout, 1 heard somthiu’ s-q-u-a-11, s-q-u a l-l ! and says 1, I’ll bet that's old Speck, that nasty audacious owl’s got; for 1 seen her go to most with her chickens, up in the plum tree,formest the smoke house. Sol went to wbar old Miss Stringer was sleepin', and says 1 Miss Stringer ! Oh Miss String er sure’s you’re born, that stinkin’ owls got old Speck out’n the plum tree ! Well, old Miss Stringer she turned over *pon her side like, and says she, what did you say, Miss Stokes ] and says I ” We began to get very tired, and signi fied the same to the old lady, and begged she would answei us directly, and without circumlocution, “ Love your dear heart, honey, Im tell in' you as fast as l kin. The owls they got wuro-; after they’d swept old Speck and all her gang, they went to work on 'to theis; mid Bryant (that’s one of my buys) he ’lowed he'd shoot the pestersome crea ters —and so one night arter that, wehearn one holler,and Bryant, ink the ole musket anti went tint, and sure enough, there was owley, (as he thought) a setlin’ on the comb of the house; so he blazed away and down come ! what on airth did come down, do you reckon; when Bryant fired? ’ “The owl, 1 suppose.” “Nosich thing, no sich thing! tho ow| warn't thar. ’Twas my old house cat came a tumblin' down pinin’ sputterin, and scratching and the fur a flyin every time shojumped, like y- u’d a busted a featherbed open? Bryant be said, the cat instead of the owl, he seed somethin’ white ’’ “Mrs Stokes! give me the value of your poultry, or say you will not! Do one thing or the other,” Oh, well, dear love your heart,l reck, on i had last year, nigh about the same as I’ve got this.” “Then tell me now many dollars worth you have now and the thing’s settled.” “I’ll let you see for yourself,” said the widow Stokes and taking a ear of corn out of a crack between the logs of tho cabin, ami shelling off a handful, she commenced sca teiiugthe grain, all the while scream ing, or rather screeching—“chick—chick chick-ee—chick-ee—chichee—ee !” Here they came, rooster, heri3 and pul lets, and little chicks—crowing, cackling, chit ping, flying and flulferin over beds, chaits, and tallies; alighting on the old woman's head and shoulders, fluttering a gainst her sides, pecking at her hands, in confusion altogether indescribable. The old lady seemed delighted, thus to exhibit her feathered ‘stock,’ and would occasion ally exclaim—“ a nice passe 1, aint they —a nice passel!” But she never would say what they were worth; no persuasion ■ould bring her to the point; andourpapers at Washing on contain no estimate of the value of the widow Stokes’ poultry, though as shesaid herself, she had “ a mighty nice passel.” ROOK AND JOB PRINTING, Will he executed in the neatest style, and upon the most favorable terms, at the Office of the 3CT7TEE&IT TP.IBTJinS, -BY— WM. B. HARRISON. wii-w , n ii, Tiie Neclecxed son.— A certain farm er, in England, had an only son. lo whom he was greatly attached, and never could think of chastizing him for his faults.— When he arrived at the age of twelve years, he bid adieu to his father's house, and went with h hand of gipsies. For nearly twenty years he was never heard of. It appeared, however, that the old man was under the necessity of taking a journey a considerable way, with a latge sum of money. He had to pass a wood, and as he went on, a man rushed from it, seized his horse, and demanded his mo ney. The old man remonstrated with him.—He would not hear, but again de manded his money. Most reluctantly be gave it up. The robber, gazing at him, said, “Do you know me 1” “No,” said the old man. "Well,” said the robber, “I am your son!” and returning his money added, “Had you corrected me when young, I might have been a comfort to you ; now 1 am a disgrace to you, and a peat to society. j An Elopement.— Some astounding de velopetneiits, rela ive to the recent disap pearance of a young girl name Drown, tho daughter of a highly respectable abolition ist, have been made. It appeats the father had expressed himself as indifferent as to whether his danghter married a white man ot negro. Sho took him at his word, and a few weeks since eloped with a black man, manied him, and in his company went to the different dens of Ann streeG in one of which she was discovered by au officer, and carried to her father. She is now in the lunatic asylum. The affair has been hushed up here, on account of the respectability of the parties. We should think there is very little re spectability involved in the matter. Ruinous Effects of Rum. —A startling incident,connected with the misery which follows in the train of King Alcohol, says the Potlsville(Va.) Press.occurred inßev, Mr. Johnston's Second Methodist Church, of that borough, on Sunday evoning last. While the collection was being taken up,a man whose personal appearance evidently denoted a shatered constitution, and con sequent misery and suffeting, threw into the basket a small paper carefully rolled up, which on subsequent examination was found to contain a half dime, the remnant, it seems, of a wasted patrimony; on the paper was written, “This is the last of four thousand dollars left me by my father Rum and Effects !!” Who the poor fel low was, is not known, for he was a stran ger, and evidently a wanderer upon the face of the earth. In an Out. —An Irish pteacher was con siderably annoyed (as many before and since have likewise been) by presons get ting up and leaving the Church during his sermons. His patience being exhusted, he stopped his discourse, and in a rowdy way exclimed “ Gu on mo lad, I’ve seen the top of your head, that’s enough.” The fellow turned around with an angry menacing look, muttered— “ I’ll see you again, sir.” “You had better see me now.” replied the preacher, “for when I’m out of it I fight for meself." They say there is a saw mill Down East which saws so easy, that, while a yonrig man was sitting on a log while the saw was running through, he was sawed in halves, and did not discover it until the overseer told him to roll off. He that hath a trade hath an estate; and he that hath a calling, hath a place of profit and honor. A plowman on his legs is higher than a gentlemn on his knees. |Q“ Life is short and they mistake its aims and lose its best enjoyment, who de pend for happiness, on outward things, and not on the state of the heart. A Puzzle. — ls the apple which Willisn Tell shot from the head of hia son, gaveli« berty to Switzerland, how many bushels of the 6ame size, from the same orchard, would it have taken to make a barrel of cider I Candor.— “ Mister,* said a ragged lit le urchin the other day t<> a shop keeper, here’s your paper I stole, but as there'e oo politics in it, mother bid me to bring back to you.”
