THAT SHEET IRON BAUD. -
Inscribed to my Musical friend, John.
How sweet upon a summer’s night
By moonlight breezes fann’d,
Is music’s mellow notes, but, Oh!
Not that Sheet Iron Band.
My nerves, friend John, I scarcely yet
Can properly command,
You shock’d me so the other night
With your Sheet Iron Band.,
I heard yon give the order, John,
When all were at their stand,
And then how well the boys obey’d—
That bold Sheet Iron Band.
Sure there are many noises, John,
Upon the sea and land,
But never heard 1 such an one
As that Sheet Iron Band.
A mad bull in a China shop,
Would make a noise quiLe grand;
But ’twouidnot be a circumstance
To that Sheet Iron Band.
Some people boast how they could sleep,
Though cannon shook the land;
But neter woman, man nor chad,
Fear that Sheet Iron Band.
But (privately) come tell me, John,
W hy serve poor Peter so;
Just such u noise at sucii a time,
Might play the misciiief, O !
When next you lead your boys abroad
VViih all these.things in hand,
May 1 be one full mile away,
Trout that Sheet IronBaud.
And, now, I throw my verses, John,
Upon the Printer’s nand,
That iie may help immortalise,
That loud Siieet iron Band.

feb. 22. Hy
While travelling through Alabama a ft w
years since, 1 put up .for the night at a coun
try tavern. After supper a youug mau a-
bout twenty years of age, who resided on a
neighboring plautat'ou came iu, and we
soon fell into a social couversatiou. After
conversing on various topics for about au
hour, he asked me if he could have a few
minutes private chat with me. I replied by
all menus. Jie theu told the landlord he
would like to have a room for himself and
Lhe stranger. The request was readily ac
ceded to by the obliging host, aud I soon
found myself seated iu r spare room by the
side of my new acquaintance ; the weather
was warm and pleasant, and being early in
the fall, we were comfortable without a tire.
My companion closed the door, and placed
the light en the table, and took a seat be
side me.
Stranger, he remarked, I expect you will
think it decidedly queer that 1 should.call
you out here for a private confab; but the
fact is, I am iu a considerable of a scrape,
and 1 am sure you can help uie without
much trouble ; and theu if you will do so,
here is a §>1U bill for your pains.
Anything that I can reasonably do for
you, 1 replied, shall be done with the great
est pleasure; but being as you are aware,
a stranger in these parts, and having to de
part oh my journey, I cannot conceive that
1 could render you any assistance.
Gan you write ? asked he.
Yes, i replied, most men of my age cap
do that.
Most people may, but I cannot. The fact
is, there is no school-house within twelve
Hides of this place, and as my parents are
not very well oil', my education was neglec
ted. Now, i’li tell you what a fix I’m iu.
It’s about love.
Indeed ! I replied. Well, I suppose you
don’t want me lo go a courting for you, at
least I hope not: tor if so, I must disappoint
you.
No, I don’t, want you to do it personally,
but I want to state to you my case; imd
then you must write a love letter.
Well, my friend, you cap state your case ;
but I fear I should make a sorry fist at
writing other people’s love letters, for 1 al
ways found it impossible to write one Lo
please myself.
Never miud, I’ll risk lhat—for I never
saw a whale, hut I know how oue ought to
be made. Now, I can’t write, tut 1 know
what I want written, so I will tell you, and
you must write it for me.
O, well, that I can do.
\Vell, lhe fact is, I have been courting
Lucinda Simpson for the last three years.
Her father’s plantation is only three miles
from ours, aud 1 had got along so well, that
I supposed we should be married this win
ter; but calling on her last Sunday night,
she snapped me up as short as pie crust,
and finally left me. What is in the vviud
I don’t know, but I am sure if I could write
her a letter, I could touch her feelings, and
bring her back Lo whe'-e she belongs. Sol
will get a pen, ink aud paper, and you must
write as I tell you.
I assented to this arrangement, and sta
tionery, being produced, 1 took my seat to
indite the lines according to order.
Now, said he, begin the letter strong,
blow her up sky high, ask her if she is
not ashamed of he seif to treat me in this
way; give her to understand I’m-no old
woman to be bamboozled in this manner,
aud that I won’t stand auy of her non
sense.
I did as I was directed, and soon read to

1 did as I was directed, and the letter
was finished ; and another such love letter ;
1 thiuk never was written since Adam took |
Eve to wife. The romantic lover insisted j
on my taking the ten dollars. I declined
his other, aud then told him that if 1 had !
done him a good favor, 1 was glad of it, i
he was welcome ; but he would not be de
nied, so 1 pocketed the X. The letter was

my hand and giving it a squeeze, which 1
did not soon forget, he exclaimed, “My

knew it must. It brought my dear Luciu-

Madam, my indignation know

(aud 1 choose to do it iu writing,) how you
dare have the presumption to treat me iu
the brutish mauuer which you did on Sun
day last! Do not your cheeks tingle with
shame when you remember how you insult

From Household Words.
Uceused to Juggle.
About fifteen years ago a short iron-built
man used to balance a scaffold poll upon his
chin, to whizz a slop basin round upon the
! end of it, and to imitate fireworks with gol-
i den balls aud gleaming knives, in the pub
lic streets of London. I am afraid his geni
us was not rewarded in his own country; for
of the law. When they see that I could
get a ’oncst living, an old cove.in a cocked
iiatses he to me, ses he, “You’re a saltim-
baue, you are. Wery good. You go to
the borough of police for public morals, and
the minister (uoL a parson, but the hin-
spector,) if lie’s satisfied with your charac
ter he’ll give you a ticket.
“And did he ?”
“Course he did; and I’m now one of the

with; leastways, without I’m donkey e-
nough to go on the.cross and be took up.
That’s the ticket,’ he exclaimed triumphant
ly; pulling out a brouze badge, “I’m num
ber thirty-live, I am.”
“And can you perform anywhere ?”
“No; the police picked out thirteen good
places—‘pilches,’ we caffs ’em—were we
cau play. There’s the list—thirteen on ’em
all of a row—-beginitig on the Boulevards^
at the Place de la Colonne de JJhliet, anti
ending iu the Champs Elsyee.” He un
folded a neatly written document that
plainly defined the limits of Paris within
which he, iu common with his co-profes
sors-, was allowed lo display his abilities.
With a small gratuity for the uew light
thrown upon the subject of street perfor
mances, I parted from my enterprising
countrynmn, wishing him every success.
I have sometimes wondered whether—
considering that we have all sorts.of licens

sworn to love aud protect you forever, you

Lewis the fun Cloving Editor of the N. M.
.Union is a candidate for the Legislature. In
the last number of his paper he publishes a
Circular to his fellow-citizens of teujkt xdl-
umns. Whereupon he savs;
It may be asked why I write so long a
Circular. An anecdote will illustrate my
answer. Once upon a time an old ladjr
sent her grandson out to set a turkey, On
his return the following dialogue took
place.-
’’Sammy have you set her?”
”Yes grandma.”
“Fixed the nest all up nicely?”
“Mighty fine.”
“How many eggs did you put undfer
lier?”
”120, grandma.”
“Why Sammy, what did you put ao mauy
under her for?”
’’Grandma 1 wanted to see /her spread
herself!”
My opponents will pitch kite this Circular—
hope they will have a good time in making &
large percentage of it. A short one would

“What do you prefer to drink?” I en
quired,

The epicure! Quality and not quantity
was evidently his taste; a sign of, at least a
sober follow.
“You find yourself tolerably well off in
Paris?”
“I should think I did,” he answered,
smacking his lips, “fori was awagabou iu
London; but here I am a artist!”
“A distinction only in name, I suspect.”
“P’raps it is; but there’s a good deal of
difference, mind you. In Ingland (I have
been a’most all over it) a feiler in my line
is a wagabon. He don’t take no standing
in society. He may be quiet, never get in
to no trouble, acd never give nobody else
none; but that don’t help him. ‘He gits, a
livin’in the streets,’ they say, and that’s
enough. Well, ’spose he does? he as to
work tremenjus hard for it!’

We hope the Tishemingo boys will
spread themselves for Lewis; if they -don’t
we shall always think they ought to”—
that’s all.—Aberdeen,{Miss.)Independenl.
