In whom my soul first,learned to trust
And perfectly confide.

John Peck’s TCpitupli.
Here lies a Teen, which some men say
Was first of all a Peck of clay
This, wrought through skill Divine, while fresh.
Became a curious Peck of flesh;
Through various forms his Maker ran,
First adding breath, made Peck a.man,
Full fifty years Peck felt life’s bubbles,
Till death relievad a Peck of troubles;
Then fell poor Peck, as all things must,
And hero he lies, a Peck of dust.

A Celebrated iCeiit.uclty
Uiflit,
The skill of the old Kentucky hun
ters is a matter rif history, and tin
pithy sayitius of tlifeoS.inen have passed
in’o proverbs, (’he shot gun was un
known in frontier life, or it known,
looked upon with contempt. The bear,
the deer and the wild-turkey were the
game that the old hunters went in quest
of but when they could hot. he found
the rifle was sighted at a sqirrej, and
the hall sent whizzing through the head.
To hit a sqirrel in any otliet pi .ce than
the head was the sign of a poor marks
man, and poor marksmen were held at
a ureat discount b\ she hardy pione* r<
Hut times have greatly changed. The
old hunters are fast being gathered into
the fold of death, and a iiew race ol
shoo'ers has come upon tfie carpet.
The larger game has disappeared before
the advanced tide of civilization, so
that a rifle is of very little practical
value now. Birds, which cleave the air
on rapid wing, are the tilings that ex
"■ite the enthusiasm of the sportsman
li&e wav, the shot gun is called into re
qiii ition. >otwithstanding that the
t ines have altered so much, it is pleas
ani to drift through the reminiscences
of pioneer life, aud to recall the glori
ous reign of the rifle. One of the most
celebrated shots of Kentucky is Dr. 0.
Orahitm. His aim was next to iufali
ble, and in his yduncer days lie killed as
effectively at long as at, short ftjtlge.
The Louisville Courier Journal tells us
that I e could ring the bdl or trike the
bull’s eye every shot at a distance ol
two hundred y -.rds, while a turkey stood
little cl ance of retaining life if lie drew
a head on it four hundred yards. For
hall a esntury the doctor used a favor
ite rifle of primitive make, which lie
christened Blurcher. The gun was al
ways kept lii (he best condition, and he
loved it tis fondly es he could have loved
a child. The barrel was thirty three
inches long, and the bore nine-six
feertthS of art inch, carrying tfiifty two
halls »o th** podnd. The doctor.is now
an old man, and hns beqmathel his
•rifle to osteritv. He has placed it in
the museum at Louisville, and it hangs
side by side with the rifle that proved
such a terror to the Indians in the hands
of Daniel Boone. It is well to treas
ure op (he relics of frot tier I fc, for
they are a part of the history vs the
StS'e tha( once was I iolied upon by the
civilized wo'rfd as the ‘darß and 1 bloody
g rotted.’
Horrible Discqvkky.— (Jn tfie ar
rival ot the 3:55 Leeds express at St.
f’ancras (Londunjst ition. one Saturday
morning recently, the giard found ai
(haft's head wedged between (he spring
and if] e bra Ite cT his van. The head
presented a horrible spectacle, being
covered with diist and blood, with the
tongue protruding ftum the mouth. It
had been' cut* ff at the junction of the
jaw arid the neck. A" inquiry was
immediately Gent to Borrow by tele
graph, and ah ansvyef was received,
saying that the accident occurred there
to a plate layer, who was proceeding
to his work, at about seven o’clock iu
tl-e morning. The severed head had
been carried a distance of 120 miles.

The Experience of the wag of the
Danbury News was no doubt realized
by an mber of pi ople in this vicinity
within the past 43 hours. He describes
his preregrin.itions along the slick by
ways of Danbury thus:
‘Right in front of me, on theslipperv

he could never make his way through

came down harder,and that if he did he
would go through an ong the ‘heathen

the interest I manifested. He invited
me to a place where i6e rover forms on

and emphatic manner, and I reached the
door just m time to see rny better-half
sliding across the side-walk in a sitting
posture. t I suggested, as t-he limped
back to the door, that there might be
sucha thing as too much celerity; but
she did not seem inclined to carry on the

Hurrah for Women ! —We loyfj

The WUIe lb A" row. —ls you have
Occasion to use a wheelbarrow,leave it ? ‘
when you are through with it, in front
of the h'bbse with the hanmes. toward
the doer- A wheelbarrow is the most
complicated thing to fall over on the
face of the earth. A man will fall over
ono when he would never think offal
ling over anything else ; he never knows
when he gets through falling over it
either, fef it will tangle his legs and
arms, turn over with film, and rear up
in froni of him, and just as he pause? in
his profanity to congratulate himself, it,
take? anew tu in dad a bops more skin
off of him, and he commences to evolute
anew, and bump himself on fresh places.’
A man never ceases to fall over a
wheelbarrow until it turns completely
on its bacA, or brings-up agrtust some*
tning it cannot upset. • i£ is’ the most
inoffensive looking object there is, but
it is more dangerous than a locomotive,
and no map is secure with one unless he
has a tight hold of its handles and is sit
unjPSfo non something. A wheelbar
row has its uses, without doubt* but in
its leisure moments :t is ihe great blight','
course on true dignity.

A Connecticut fisherman one day
baited his hooA with a live frog After
patiently waiting some time fora a-bite,
as He chatted with g friend, he found
that his lively bait had swam ashore,and
was qtnetly sitting on a rock by his side
looking at him- He wound up his line
and went home.

to a noisy lad,‘what are you holeerin for
