SONG. TIIE FINE ARKANSAS GENTLEMAN. ! Now all good fellow? listen, and a story I will tell, . Ola mighty clever gentleman who lives extremely well, ‘ In the western part of Arka< eas, close to the Indian line, | Where he gets drunk once a week, on whiskey, and imme diate! v sobers hiraseU'compietely on the very best of wine; A fine Arkansas gentleman, clo.-e to the Choctaw line. I . “* ; This fine Arkansas gentleman ha 9 a mighty fine estate, | Os five or six thousand acres or more of land, that will be worth a great deal some, day or other, if he don't kill j himself too soon, and w ill only condescend to w’ait; ; And four or five dozen negroes that would rather work than j not, | And such quantities of horses, and cattle, and pigs, and j other poultry, that he never pretends to know how many > I he ha? got; j This line Arkansas gentleman, clo?*e to the Choctaw j line. i ir. This fine Arkansas gentleman has built a splendid house, i On the edge of a big prairie extremely well populated with j deer, and hares, and grouse ; / j And when he wants to feaa his friends, he has nothing j more to do, 1 Than to leave the pot-lid off, and the decently-behaved | birds fly straight into the pot, knowing he’il shoot them i il they don’t, and he has splendid stew ; This fine Arkansas ger Reman, close to the Indian line, iv. This fine Arkansas gentleman makessevoral l undred bales, | Unless, from drought, or worm, or getting a bad stand, or • , some other damned contingency, his crop is short, or i ; fails; ! And when it’s picked, and ginned, and baled, he put? it on j ! a boat, ■ And gets aboard himself likewise, and charters the bar, and 1 j has a devil of a spree, while down to New Orleans he | and his colton float; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choctaw line. V j And when begets to New Orleans ho sacks a clothing j store, | And puts up at the City Motel,the St Louis, the St. Charles, ! the Veranda, and all the oth*r hotels in the city, if he | succeeds in finding any more ; Then he draw's upon his nu reliant, and goes about and treats | Every man from Kentucky, aid Arkansas, and Alabama, j and Virginia, and tho Choctaw nation, and every other j damned vagabond he meets ; This fine Aikansaa gentleman, close to tho Choctaw \ line. vi. The last time he was down there, when ho thought of going back, Alter staying about fifteen days or loss, he discovered that by lending and by spending, and being a prey in general to gamblers, hackmen, loafers, brokers, hoosiers, tailors, servants, and many other individ als white and black, Ele’d di tributed hi- assets and g-t rid of all hi- means, \nd had nothing left t j -how for them, barring two or three headaches,an invincible thirst and an extremely geneial and promiscuous acquaintance in tho ai'ororaid New Orleans ; This fine Arkansas gonllcrnan, close to the Choctaw lino. VII. Now, how this gentleman got home is neither here nor there, But I’ve been credibly informed he swore worse than forty seven pirates, and fiercely comlted hi- hair; And after ho got safely homo, they say he took an oath That he’d never bet a cent again at any game of cards, and moreover, for want ot decent advisers, he forswore whiskey and women both ; This fine Arkansas gentleman, close to the Choctaw line. Till.

The last number of Blackwood has an inte resting article on the subject of “Club and Cluhhists,” in which %ve find some hold words respecting the fashionable dances of the day : ! “Tiie waltz as we dance it,” says the wiiter, “was decent of its kind, hut its character gradu ally became changed. From a graceful rotary motion it degenerated into a Bacciii movement, similar, no doubt, to the first Thespian per | formances, which were intended, as scholars tell i us, to he in honor of the young Lsens.” “You saw an infuriated-lookiug fellow throw ; his arm round a gill’s waist, and rush off with j her as if he had been one of the troop of Rom ulus abducting a reluctant Sabine. Sabine, j however, made no remonstrance, hut went along I with him quite cordially. They pursued a species of bat like race round the room—jerk I ing, flitting, backing, and pirouetting, without | rule, and without any vestage of grace, until j breath failed them, and tiie panting virgin was | pulled up short on the arm of her perspiring partner. Ghost of Count Hamilton! shade of DeGrammont! has it really come to this? You know, in your day, something about the Castlemaines and others; hut never did you w itness, in public, at least, such orgies as Brit | isli matrons and mothers now placidly contem- I plate and approve. “This, however, called for a reform; and it was reformed. By what ? Bv the introduction of the polka—the favorite dance, and no won der, of the casinos. View it philosophically, and you find it to he neither more nor less than the nuptial dance of Bacchus and Ariadne.— Our mothers or grand.mothers were staggered, and some of them shocked, at the introduction of the ballet in the opera houses. What would they sav now, could they see one of their fe male descendants absolutely in the embrace of some hairy animal—fronting him—linked to him—drawn to him—her head reclining on his shoulder, ami be perusing her charms—execu ting the most ungraceful of all possible move j meats, at the will of a notorious Tomnoddy? j No doubt everything is innocent, and the whole i dance is conducted—on one side at least— ! with perfect parity of idea. But somehow or | other, these grapplings, squeezings, and approx ; imations, look rather odd iu the eyes of the un prejudiced spectator ; and we, who have seen the feasts of Egyptian Almas almost surpassed in British ball-rooms, may he pardoned for ex pressing our convii tiou, that a little—nay, a good deal more of feminine reserve than is pres ently practised, would he vastly advantageous to the young ladies who resort to tiiose haunts w hich they have been taught to consider as the | matrimonial bazaar. “We abuse not dancing—we simply contend I against its abuse. The effect of it is just this, | that the most inveterate devotees of the polka I have the least chance of being married. No | man of refinement likes to see the object of his ! affections prancing wildly in the arms of auotli j er. Cupid, as ihe Americans say, is *a skearv jci liter;’ and a very little matter indeed is sutfi cient to make him take wing.” Fanny Peru’s Best Tiring. We think Fanny Fern vever wrote a better pair of paragraphs than the following from the Olive Branch : “Look un this picture, and then on that. — “Father is coming!” and little round faces grow long, and merry voices aie hushed, and toys are hustled into the closet, and mamma glances nervously at the door, and baby is bribed with a lump of sugar to keep the peace ; ! and father’s business face relaxes not a muscle; and the little group huddle like timid sheep in a corner, and tea is dispatched as silently as if speaking were prohibited by tire statute hook, and the children creep like culprits to bed mar velling that baby dare crow so loud, now that “Father has come..'’ “Father is coming!’’and bright eyes sparkle for joy, and tiny feet dance with glee, and eager laces press against the window-pane, and a hew of rosy lips claim kisses at the door, and picture books lie unrebuked on the table, and tops, and balls, and dolls, and kites are discussed, and i little Susy lays her soft cheek against the pa- ! ternal whiskers with the most fearless “abandon’ and Charley gets a love pat for his “medal,” and mamma’s face grows radiant, and the even ing paper is read (not silently, but aloud,) and tea, and toast, and time vanish with equal cele rity, for jubilee has arrived, and “ Father hus come.” A Wonderful Clock.—Towards the end of j the sixteenth century, Jaquet Droz, a Swiss, clockmaker, carried to Ferdinand, the Catholic King of Spain, a clock, which was the wonder of all Europe. The King paid the large sum of fiv hundred lonis (or about two thousand two hundred dollars) for it, ami when he arrived, gathered his most illustions noblemen to look at its marvelous works. The clock represented a land-scape, and when it struck the hour, a shep herd issued from behind some rock and played six different tunes upon his flute, while his dog very naturally fawned unon him. To show the king that the and .g was faithful, as well as affec tionate, Droz told him to touch the fruit in a basket by the side of the shepherd. The king laid hold of an apple, and the dog at once sprang at his hand, harking so naturally, that a i spaniel in the room replied, vviili great ferocitv, and showed signs of fight, At this all the court left, crying out. “.Sorcery !’’ and there was only left the king and the minister of ihe navy, j The king asked the shepherd what tine it was? The clockmaker told him that lie did not under stand Spoiisi; bit if iia wo.ild ask hi 11 in French he would reply. The king then put his question in French, when the shepherd instan tly replied. This was too much for the minis ters of the navy, and he instantly ran away The poor clockmaker was in danger of being burnt for a sorcerer, but he explained the won der to tlie grand inquisitor, who was convinced that, instead of being ttie work of evil spirits, it was only the result of great ingenuity.

Hamilton and Knox. ORIGINAL R E VOLUTION Alt Y INCIDENT. The New Haven Courier gives the following account of the siege of Yorktown, in 1781, whhhhas never before been iu print, and il lustrates the difference between theory and practice: With Hamilton, Knox and others, there were present behind a redoubt of hog -heads and pipes of sand, about 400 American troops. A gene ral order had been given, that when a shell was seen, they might cry out a shell —hut not to cry a shot, when a shot was seen. The reason of this distinction was, that a shell might he avoi ded, hut to cry a shot, would only make confu sion and do no good. Tins order was just then being discussed, Colonel Hamilton remarking that it seemed unsoldierlike to halloo a shell, while Knox contended tiie contrary, aud ihat the order was wisely given by General Wash ington, w ho cared for the lives of the men. The argument thus stated, was progressing with a slight degree of warmth, when suddenly spat! spat! two shells fell and struck within the redoubt. Instantly the cry broke out ou ail sides, “a shell! a siiel!!” and such scrambling aud jumping to reach the blinds and get behind them for defence. Knox and Hamilton were united in action, however differing in words, for both got behiuds the blinds; and Hamilton, to be yet more secure, held ou behind Knox, (Knox being a very large man, and Hamilton a small man.) Upon this- Knox struggled to throw Hamilton off, and in the effort, (Knox) j rolled Hamilton off towards die shells. Uamil j ton, however, scrambled back again behind the ] blinds. All this was done rapidly, for in two j minutes the shells burst, and threw their deadly j missiles iu all directions. It was now safe and j soldieilike to stand out, “Now,” said Knox,! “now what do you think, Mr. Hamilton, about crying out “shell, ’ —hut let me tell you not to make a breast-work of mo again.” Mr. Mon son added that on looking around and finding not a man hurt out of the more than 400, Knox exclaimed, “It is a miracle !” All Jut to Itising Statesmen. “One reason,” says a wiiter in ttie Boston Transcript, “why the Smith has almost all the Presidential nominations lias been that her poli ticians are better cultivated, socially, than ours, and are making capital with the leaders, at Washington, in t,.e drawing-room and at the dinner table, while our Northern politicians are spending all of their force making long and elo quent speeches. There is great influence in speeches and orations, undoubtedly ; but there are times and seasons when smiles and oyster sauce make a greater impression.” Elsewhere the wiiter observes: “I he true secret of Mr, j Clay’s undying popularity was that his man ners were so genial and engaging that those who had o ce approached turn never forsook him. So, too, Mr. Calhoun’s magical influence iu South Carolina may be traced mainls to the same cause. Ail who were honored with his acquaintance always loved hint. One of our citizens, who happened at one time to be in Charleston, when Mr. Calhoun arrived there from Washington, and saw how the citizens gathered around him, and witnessed tho frank, easy and natural manner w ith which all classes saluted him and entered into conversation with him, without form or introduction, was quite amazed, it was so different from anything he had seen north.’’ The same wiiter expresses the opinion that Daniel Webster would have reached the Presidential Chair,if his manner had been more gracious. A Funny Commercial ‘J'ransactioi?.. —The Mining Register says, “it will he some time, if not longer, before we shall awaken thee choes of our quiet sanctum with a laugh so irrepressi ble as a guffaw which has just escaped us, at a mercantile anecdote inimitably related by a German friend An old fellow living at Frank fort-on-the-Main, sent to a business correspondent at Frankfort on-the-Oder, a largo consignment of cotton stockings, and at the same time, lo another cor respondent at the same place, an equally large j consignment es cotton nightcaps, the product of his own manufacture. Ho wrote to each the price at which they were to sell, hut the sum J designated was found to be too large, of which [ fact they took occasion to inform him. Hu yielded a little in Ins demand, but still tin re was no offer lor his fabrics. Again he writes in reply to other letters of his correspondents’, naming a yet smaller amount; but weeks elapse, and yet no sales. At length lie writes to each ‘ correspondent to make some disposition of his manufactures; if they can’t get money for them, at least to exchange them, no matter at what 1 reasonable sacrifice, for any other goods. Un der these instructions, the stocking factor calls upon the nightcap agent, both unknown to each other in connection with their principal, and “names his views;” he wishes to exchange a lot of superior cotton stockings for some other goods; he is not particular what kind, as the transaction is for a friend, who is desirous of closing his stock.” The man at first can think of nothing which he would like to exchange for so large a supply of stockings; hut at length a blight thougiit strikes him. “i have,” said he, “a con-ignuient of cotton nightcaps from an old correspondent, which I shad not object to ex change for your stockings.” The bargain was soon closed. Tho stocking factor wrote back at once that he had at length been enabled to comply with the instructions of his principal He had exchanged his stockings for “a stiperi- | or article of ni_htcap,’’ in an equal quantity, j which he was assured were likely to be much j | in demand before a great while!

The Maine I.iquor Law in England. The following extract from the London Times handed to us hv a friend, will show how the Maine Liquor Law is regarded in England : It is very interesting to us who sit in old Eu rope, foil nving old methods of government a* a matter of course, to see what can be attemp ted and done by a people really and immediate ly self-governing. We may doubt and disap prove of some things done by our Republican brethren across the Atlantic, and think that we should not like this, or the other liability or cus tom of theirs ; but it is to be hoped that we can cordially admire and honor certain occasional achievements of theirs, which are quite beyond \ anything we can effect or dream of effecting.— We really hardly- know anything more striking than the history of the rapid abolition of the vice of drunkenness iu several of the States of the American Union ; and it is with feelings of the deepest respect that we desire to direct atten tion of our countrymen to the action of the State of Maine with regard to (hat vice. The Maine Liquor Law was obtained by the simple determination of the majmity to abolish intemperance in ihe form of drink.— They did it through the ballot boxes—by elec ting temperance men to the Legislature. For many years valuable experience had been arcru ing. The ordinary temperance movements had been tried there, as elsewhere in the Union; and with the same partial success. The success can never be more than partial where tempta ! tion and conflict remain. As long as rum and gin shops stand open, and smell of spirits is in j the air, the weak and wavering will suffer uii | der conflict w ith temptation, and often fall ; | physicians w ill tell hi private increase of soli j tary drinking—the worst of all ;atid the “pledg | ed” will he iu a 1> wer state than ever—having added perjury to their first weakness. It ap pears, from experience, that it is terrible mistake expect so serious and difficult a process as self control from such a stimulus as association iu a temperance society, and thus it turned out iu Maine, as elsewhere. So the Legislature was looked to. not to limit and regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors; not to institute a string ent licensing 8 stem, but to prohibit utterly the sale of intoxicating liquors lor drink within the j bounds of the State. Every city anil lown is rpqnhed or pertuhted : to appoint annually, through its municipal of- I fleers, an agent, who is licensed lor the year, un- I der responsibility to the magistracy, to sell j spirits for the purpose of the meehaiiic arts and medicine ; and. up to this time, it appears that a sufficient supply i$ obtained for all such purpos es by this provision. And in every other way, the law appears to work as a prohibitory law ever does, and certainly to the benefit of socie ty within that state. A dram shop may he opened here and there, just outside of the bound ary line of the state ; and a citizen here and i there, may import a cask of spirits, and give ! away the contents among those who will do him some favor in return; but these are small | matters. There is a general purification—the I smell is not in the air—the dram simps are not open before the eyes—the temptation does not j beset the will—-the struggle does not perp’ex ; and weary tho brain and conscience. The so cial results are so clear that the example has been followed. Rhode Island lias followed in the wake of Maine, and also has Massachusetts, with the exception of Boston, where tho muni cipal authorities strong in vested interest, still hold out. The doubt was, at first, whether a law so stringent could stand—whether the se cond year would not undo the work of the first. | It appears not. Experienced American citizens believe that it would now he impossible to get the law repealed. The first sentiment of Englishmen on hearing j this story seems to he amazement that citizens i will submit to such a law. They feel that there ] would be danger to our liberties il'-uch a law could pass our our Parliament and throne to moriow. No doubt; hut this is because we do not, as a people desire if. If the Americans were not self-governed, they would rebel sooner than admit of legisletion so stringent. But they are self-governed, and therein lies the chief interest of the whole matter. They decreed for themselves first, the universal education which disgusted them with drunkenness, aud warned them tn save the next generation from it ; and they next decreed, the exclusion of what they- j consider a physical, moral, and social poison.— j It has been the act as of a spirited man who, while disposed to resent dictation as to his per- | snuul habits, imposes a law on himself, and sub mils thus to a discipline which he would spurn if it came upon him in any other way. Our fel low citizens cannot hut watch with deep inter est tiie development of this very strong transa tlantic experiment. The Carrollton Mirror, in noticing the mar riage of Col.

The dispatch to the New Oilcans Picayune from Baton Kouge, where the Louisiana legis late e is in session, gays : “Much sensation has been created among the politicians here by tiie receipt of the news of Mr. Soule’s appointment as Minister to Spain. There are about a dozen candidates for his place in the Senate ” We believe that generally the politicians look with a sort of envy on the preferment of Mr. Soule ‘Phis results in a measure from his for eign biith; but more in consequence of the pe culiar dignity of character which he possesses. Mr. Soule has some of the qualities of our older statesmen. He will not stoop too low for self respect. We think the appointment is a most excellent one. It w ill lie good for the country ; first, be cause Mr. Soule understands belter than most of our home bred men the duplicities of foreign diplomacy. He spent his early life ill opposing the dynastic corruptions of Europe, and saw into their sources and habitudes w : th bis own eyes. But be is sensitive on the question of slavery, and has fathomed some of the necessities and proclivities of the institution. No sounder man on the subject can be found in the country. We only fear that he may carry his convictions too resolutely into his practice, when, perhaps, a lit tle stratagem would he useful. At this particular time, and if the-last news from Spain lie true—that England has prevail ed on that Government tn emancipate ils slaves— this mission will lie of vast importance—requir ing watchfulness, wisdom, knowledge, sound ness of coin ietion and earnest resoluteness of purpose. These qualities—or most of them— we think, are in the possession of Mr. Seule. [Mobile Tribune. Qnacliery, You have quack denlials in New-York, of course, as we have diem in Palis, but 1 doubt whether you can boast of such a tremendous operation as M. Duchesne's, to whom I have al ready alluded in your columns. This gentle man rides about town in a highly illuminated wagon, with a roof to it. Upon the roof is a I man dressed in the costume of the middle ages, ; and armed with a pair of symbols and a bass ! drum. The demist stands in front, with a hel j met and leather, and surrounded with the in striiments of his profession. He stops in some frequented place, collects a crowd by means of the cymbal, and then invites the afflicted to ap ply at once for extraction and rebel. A notice on the side of the wagon reads tnus: “5,000 francs if I miss a tooth.’’ This is surrounded by a halo of double ti • h, the roots of which are painted to resemble par snips, and out of whose centres grow a pleini fill crop of ladies’ delights. As 1 have long | since accustomed myself to be surprised at ; nothing. I am never astonished to see a line ; formed by the victims of the tooth ache, taking I their turn at having the rebellious nerve eradi- I cated. This line sometimes extends twice \ round the wagon. Each sufferer pays a fiauc, and leaves his tooth behind him. I had always supposed it required as much reflection to have a tooth out, as to jump into Vesuvius. But tho French do not think si . A maid servant passes M. Duchesne's equipage, remembers a sore spot in her upper jaw, leels in her pocket for a franc, and joins the ta'l end of the line. Each appli cant mounts on the seat with M.

It is held up in j tile air nu instant for the admiration of ihe mul titude, and at each extraction the drum gives a j hang of triumph. “Talking it Oerr." —Some years ago there was a good deal of excitement among the peo ple in a certain town in C county, Vermont, on the subject of religion, and almost every man in the place was more or less awakened to a sense of his sinlulness, and made public declara tion of his intention to lead anew life. Among the rest were three of the piincipal men of the village, (whom we will call M., B. and G..) who being all present at one of the meetings, took i art iu the proceedings, to the great j- y of the I faithful, and much to the astonishment of“the | rest of mankind’’then and there assembled.
