[Extracted from Mr. Saxe's Poem, read at the late Manchester. N. H. Fair.] The daughter sits in the parlor, And rocks in her easy chair! She’s clad in her silks and satins, And jewels are in .her hair— She. winks and giggles and simpers* And simpers and giggles and winks, And though she talks but little, ’Tis vastly more than she thinks. Her father goes clad in russett, And ragged and seedy at that— His coats are all out at the elbows; He wears a shocking bad hat, He’s hoarding and saving his shillings, So careftilly day by day, While she, on her beaux and poodles, Is throwing them all away. She lies a-bed in the morning, Till nearly the hour of noon; Then comes down snapping and snarling, Because she was called so soon; Her hair is still in papers, Her cheeks still dabbled with paint, Remains of her last night’s blushes, Before she intended to faint. > She doatsupon men unshaven, And men with “the flowing hair,” She’s eloquent over moustaches, They give such a foreign air, She talks of Italian music, , And falls in love with the moon, And tho‘ but a mouse should meet her, She sinks awav in a swoon. Hoosier is a sort of cross between the Southerner and the bear, with.all his quali ties—mental, moral and physical, just a- bout equally divided between the two ra ces— w ith a touch of the wandering Arabs. He is a wandering Arab. He is wander ing animal, and his home and house are wherever his wagon happens to be—near some timber, or fence, or firewood—add where there is water enough for coffee-— whiskey he takes raw—and washing is tp him and his a work of supererogation. The young Sucker, the rising generation of alf these hetrogenous materials, materi als is the devil just as nearly as he is any thing else—unlettered, ignorant, unciviliz ed, self dependent, free, lawless, unpolished resolute careless, confident, tobacco-chew ing, whiskey-drinking, suspicious Of good clothes or good manners in others, and fi- .. . ° i • Effects of Monotony on Health.

The smoking phlegmatic German, the Sweed, the .Norwegian, the beer drinking Dutchman, the self-complacent John Bull, the canie Scot, the cheating Israelite, the mercurial Frenchman, the rolicking Irish man, and the ever inquisitive, ever active Yankee, together with Buckeyes from Ohio, the Hoosier, from Indiana, and the illiter ate drinking, fighting, generous Southern- all are here in about equal propor- ‘shucks’ for law, gospel, or devil.’ One gen eral characteristic of the animal, is that he is always anticipating somebody to ‘'feel big,” which he^cpnsidSfsnTis duty to, -re- sentjififbre'if Happens. The way the* youDg Sucker volunteer fought in Mexico, may give you some idea of his characteristics. He was there per- fectlv desperate in the fight. One of the officers related to me a little scene which oc curred at Buena Vista.—It was in the very crisis of the fight when the 'Indiana troops broke and retreated, and left the whole brunt of the Mexican advance to be borne by the Illinois regiment. It seemed as though they would be annihilated by su periority of numbers, and^there were some signs of wavering when a young Sucker drew his rifle deliberately and dropped a Mexican. “Set up the pins,” he shouted, and the whole regiment took up the word, and at every fire would shout like demons, and with as much drollery as if on a spree. At another time, a charge was ordered, one of the officers happen to think of the word and he shouted—“Let’s rip !” and dashed in among the Mexicans, laughing and shou ting this new battle cry. Many curious and laughable scenes are of daily occur rence in the courts of justice. I will relate one which occurred in Eane county, in the circuit court a few years ago, when Gover nor ForcUwas the presiding judge, which will serve as a specimen. An old miner and land contractor of con siderable wealth was summoned as one of the grand jury. He came to. court glori ously drunk and rather late, in fact not un til the court was organized and was en gaged in trying a case. He came stager ing in, dressed in buckskin, and making his way to the bar addressed the court and peo ple with the ‘How are ye all d-n ye V at the top of his.voice. The .judge put on a decorous frown, and said, “Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of five dollars against Mr.— .” “Wal, Judge, I guess you think this old " S. B.'CRAFTON, Attorney at Law.

The Hoosier “allows,” the South erner “suspicions,” the Buckeye “reckons,’ while the Yankee “calculates,” and the Missourian “opinions.” The State has yet rib settled character—its different elements not having yet had time to harmonize and settle together. So its laws, its manners, and its languages. An Illinois farm house for instance a mere cabin, constructed with out regard to looks, convenience or comfort. The furniture, cooking utensils and dress of the inmates correspond with the house, while the fences and outhouses, are of the most wretched description/ and the door yard and fields are given up to weeds, and .the crops wasted with the most reckless dis regard to thrift. Cows will be allowed to run all the season with their calves to save milking—or if milked, only when they hap pen to come up of themselves, or when the boy happens to find them, which is rare. Families with good farms will have no but ter, but they will have eggs and chickens without stint. It is not uncommon to see two hundred hens about a man’s door-, and four pounds dressed is no commpn weight. So common are they that you can purchase them for a “bit” a pair. The Yankee here is the same as the Yan kee an where—only more so. More liberal less saving, less religious, less honest, less careful of appearances—but quite as enter prising, and. bound to t get a living- at his own, or somebody’s expense. An Irishman is improved here—more in telligent. thrifty and steady, and in every respect more of a man and a better citizen than he is elsewhere where I have seen him, The Englishman gets a good property here. He fares well—drinks his grog when he likes, and always alone or with his coun trymen—keeps a pointer or setter, a doub- hle barreled gun, and enjoys field sports when he pleases. A great many are scat tered over the country but do not readily assimilate with the people, and continue to prefer brandy to corn whiskey—in which I think they show good taste. The Scotchman here is always a good citizen and a man of property—steady thrifty and law-abiding. The German and the Jew do the fiddling and the huskster- ing, the gardening, wood-sawing, cooking, and a large part of the thinking. The only men I have seen drunk here, were Germans and yet, they are good citizens. The Swedes and Norwegians are steady, hard-working fellows, and givq nobody any trouble. The [from THE N. O. PICAYUNE.] The Dog that Understood Freiicli. There is a gentleman of our acquaint ance, living in the neighborhood of this great and never sufficiently to b’e admired “No man for any length of time canj Orescent City, who is the fortunate posses- . • _ -f ! e _ 1 : of repose. Periodicity is stamped upon it. Nor is it enough that it is awake and in ac tion by day, and in silence of the night ob tains rest and repair. That same periodi city which belongs to it as a whole, belongs too, to all its constituent parts. One por tion of it'eannot be called into incessant ac tivity without a permanent injury ensuing. Its different regions,: devoted to, different functions, must have their separate times of rest. The excitement of one part must be coincident with a pause in the action ot an other. I do not think it possible tor men tal equilibrium to be maintained with one idea or one monotonous mode Of life. There is necessity for men of great intellectual en dowments, whose minds are often strained to the utmost, to fall back on other pur suits, and thus it will always be that one seeks refuge in the pleasures of quiet coun try life, another in the chase, another in foreign travel, another in social amuse ments. Nay, with , all men, even those whose fot has been cast in a more lowly condition, whose hard destiny it is to spend their whole lives in pursuit of their daily bread, with one train of thought, and one unvarying course of events, what would be come of them if it were not for such a prin ciple as this ? Men often say that the pleasures of religion, and . of a Christain faith, are wholly prospective, and to be re alized only in another world. In this they make a mistake-; for those consolations com mence even here, and temper the bitter ness of fate. The virtuous laborer’ though he may be ground down with the oppres sions of his social condition, is not without his relief; atjthe anvil, the loom, or even at the bottom of the mine, he is leading a double existence—the miseries of the body find a contrast in the calm of the soul—ttlie, warfare without is compensated by the peace within—the dark night of life here serves only to brighten the glories of the prospect beyond. Hope is the daughter of despair. ’ Aud thus a kind Providence so overrules events, thatit matters not jn what station we may be, wealthy or poor, intel lectual or lowly—a refuge is always at hand, and the mind worn out with one thing turns to another, and its physicial excitement is followed by physical repose.’* A few days since, he under- It appears At least.so says his owner. That was what he said not long since to a gentleman whom he had invited out to dine with him one day.— “Don’t be afraid of the dog ; just tell him in French Allez ! or Passez ! and he’ll not meddle with you. He don’t understand English. You understand French, eh ?” “Yes.; a little? A word or sol” replied the other, with long dormant visions ofLe vizac’s Grammar rising to his memory. “Very well ! Mind at sharp tllree ! And don’t be afraid of the dog!” and the inviter turned off waving his hand in a friendly adieu. “Hang the dog ! Don’t understand English ! Let me see : allez / passez ! pas- l” hoss hamt got the money, but your’e mis taken, old feller;” Judge—“Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of ten dollars.” ' “Wal, old feller, I can fork up,” and he threw down the gold to pay the fine. Judge—“Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of twen ty dollars.” “Wal, Judge here’s the pewter, but only we two are going to play this game, put up your money if you rake down the pile.” Judge—“Mr. Clerk, enter a fine of fifty dollars.” . “Hold on, Judge, that’s too big an ante. This old hoss’s got the lead, but won’t pay if you don’t put down the stakes—I draw the bets. By this time the Judge was savage, while the whole crowd were vastly amused. * Judge.—‘Mr. Sheriff, commit this man to jail for contempt of court.’ “Hold on, Judge, your’e too fast, for I be —and I gaess it’s me. I bid off the jail- yard, jail and all, for the taxes—and I guess I own that are public institution^— and you won’t imprison a man, in his own house, I reckon.’ This was said with an air of drunken gravity, that made it irretistiblv ludicrous. The Sheriff dragged him off, however, and the next day when he was sober, he made an apology and was forgiven. Dodging the Responsibility—“Sir,” said Fieryfaces, the lawyer, to an unwilling wit ness, “Sir, do you say, upon your oath, that Blimpkins is a dishonest man?” “Idid’nt say he was ever accused of be ing an honest man, did I?" - “Does the Court understand you. to say, Mr. Pipkins, that the plaintiff’s reputation is bad?” inquired the J ridge, merely putting the question to keep his eyes open. “I didn’t say it was good, 1 reckon.” “SiF,” §aid Fieryfaces, “Sir r, upon your, oath—mind upon your oath—you say that Blimpkins is a rogue, a villain and a thief?” “You say so,” was Pip’s reply. “Haven’t you said so?” < “Why, you’ve said it,” said Pipkins, “what’s the use of my repeating?” , “Sir-r!” thundered Fieryfaces, the Deroos- thenean thunderer -of Thumbtown, “Sir, I charge you upon your sworn oath, do v6u or do you not say, Blimpkins stole things?” “No, Sir,” was the cautions reply of Pipkins; “I never said Blimpkins stole things; but I do gay— 1 “he's got a way of finding things, that nobody has lost!'''! “Sir ” said Fieryfaces, “you can retire;” and the Court adjourned. An Exciting Scene, on board a steamer jfrom Memphis to Cin cinnati, was a large crowd of passengers. Onr attention was drawn to the unusual number of passengers flocking below on deck; with the captain and two or three oth er officers of the boat, we joined the crowd in search of an incident to drive away the monotony of a steamboat trip. Arriving at the spot which seemed the centre of the excitement, we found a man in Quaker like atti re, sitting upon a large chest, declari ng it should not be broken open unless they killed him. Soon from the -chest, as if in distress, .was heard a voice apparently of a colored person. “Let me out—I had rather go back to master—oh, mercy, I can’t stay here any longer.” ‘flLook here, my friend,” says the captain, “you’ll have to get off that chest.” “I’ll be darned if I do,” he replies. “Oh, dear, let me out—let me out!”— came distinctly from the chest, as if in ap parent suffocation. » “Mate,” said the captain, “bring some men, take that person off that chest, and break it open.” The person showing fight, was seized by the passengers, all believing he was carry ing off Mr. Darkey, contrary to law made and provided. The mate- seized an iron bar and forced it between the lidJand the body of the chest. “Oh, don’t! you’ll kill me, says the stifled voice; “I want to get out; I want to go back; oh, dear! I shall die.” “Hold out a few jninutes longer,” says a good natured philanthropic person, step ping out, “you shall soon be. released.” Quite an intense feeling was now raised in the crowd, when the mate forced off the lid. As ft came from the chest, an unearth- sez !. allez /” And off he went, too, repeat ing the talismariic words. About 2 o’clock P. M., the invited guest perched himself in a buggy , and set off for his host’s country residence. Multifarious business arrangements had entirely driven the “dog” out dfhis head. The buggy and he went quietly and smoothly on together : a fast trotting horse preceding both and drawing both. “Hellothere! Here,some one !” called out the guest, as he dashed up to the front gate of his friend’s neat little cottage, and jumping down, began to stretch his limbs and arrange the reins and harness. “Bow ! wow ! wow !” The invited start ed. “Bow. wow!” and an immense, curly haired, black dog, with fierce red eyes, dash ed round the corner of the fence, 50 yards off, and made at the new comer. “The big dog, by thunder !” exclaimed the latter ‘■go away! get out sir !” “Bow ! wow ‘ replied the dog, louder than ever, and show ing a formidable row of teeth. Just then his host’s hint about the animal’s lingual accomplishments flashed on his mind; but the dog came rapidly on, and the new com er could not for the life of him recall the only words that could save him from -an attack. • “Get out, sir!” shouted he, flour ishing his whip threateningly ; “back, you rascal! French language 1 Parleyvous / Get out! Bow jour!" That did not stop the canine, monster he had apparently forgotten his French. In another moment he would be in dangerous proximity to the invited one’s lower limbs Shouts, threats, gestures, were of no avail There was a sudden rush on the part of the dog, and a sudden jump on the part of the guest. The former, barking' and growling, had his fore paws on the edge of the bug gy ; the latter was inside of it. His French suddenly returned to him. “Comment vous portez vous ?" he exclaimed fierc e ly holding his reins hard with one hand, and lashing away at his assailant with the whip in the other., “Confound you ! Comment vous portez vous ? Comment vous portez vous, you infernal villain ! Comment vous portez vous! !" This last phrase had hard ly been uttered, in a tone of the utmost anger and passion, ■when the fastetrotting horse/frightened out of his wits, broke into a run, knocked the dog over, and disap peared down the road, bis driver in as pret ty a passion as was ever concocted. When the guest and the host next met, the former was rather cool and reserved He thought it was all a trick,. He was fi nally prevailed on to relate his adventure “The infernal ugly beast! I did talk French to him, but the more French I uttered, the more savage he became.” “What did you say to. him i” “Say ! oh, everything!” new idea struck him. “By the Lord Harry I’ve sold myself! No wonder he didn’t up dei stand me. There was I asking him in French, How he was, instead of sending him in*the same lingo to parts unknown ! Don’t laugh, now ! Losing my dinner and being run away with were bad enqugh. Never say ‘dog’ to me again, and I’ll treat you to a dinner ! But, confound it, old fellow, do hire a schoolmaster and have your domestic tiger taught that Comment vous portez vous don’t always mean How <Pyou do?"
