It’s “Oil for a Quiet Spot...
BY DANIEL H. HILLIEB.
It’s “Oh for a quiet spot,”
A place where the waters sleep, n M
a * —?
A home in the forest deep.
A dog for the woodland game,
A dollar to spend or to keep,
A black, and a brown, and and a brindle cow,
A horse and a flock of sheep.
A duck and a guinea hen,
A goose and a gander too,
A turkey, proud—the poultry king-
And a pair of doves to coo.
A Pig and a yoke of steers,
A cat, and a bird to erra*
A place for the comfo*"' - them,
And a place for th 3 and hoe.
An axe for the »>rdly tree,
A plow for the stubborn soil,
A faith in the promise of good,
And a strength and a will to toil.
And a kind and gentle wife ;
A little girl and a boy—
Ob what can equal in life,
The farmer’s fire-side joy ?
What a souroe of pleasure to him
His fathers rarely knew—
“ The Paper’’ ready for use,
And that paper, “paid for,” too.
It’s “Oh, for a quiet spot,”
A place where the waters sleep,
A little f&rm in a sheltered vale,
A home in the forest deep.
Extension of the Kttilroad.
We know that we test the credulity of
our readers whenever we offer any remarks
under this heading, principally because of
the unreliability of any information that we
have as yet been able to attain in reference
to the matter. But the information comes
directly from General Littlicfield, President
of the J. P. &M. R. R., that the road will
be completed to the river by September
next. Tho iron has been puichased aud is
now on tho way. Furthermore, the General
assures us that a large number of their
bonds have been sold in London at a very
flattering figure, aud that the chief condi
tion of the sale was that the proceeds were
to be deposited in pledge of their faithful
and exclusive application. An amount
sufficient to construct the bridge over the
Chattahoochee river, and to extend the Road
one hundred miles beyond, is now on de
posit in a New York banking house. This,
wc arc sure, will be gratifying intelligence
to the people of the State, whose greatest
anxiety we thiuk has been on account of
the honest employment of the aid extended
by the State to the Road. If the bonds have
been sold and the Road is to be extended*
we are compelled to express ourselves
gratified with the prospect, and we don’t
think anybody will object to the avrange
ment. —Tallahassee Floridian.
How Counterfeit Money is Made.-—-A
party of men say from three to a dozen, hand
together and hold frequent meetings, and
act according to a plan laid down. One or
two will find out some copper plate printer
in the employ of the bank note company
in fact, all such printers are known by the
party. These men will then manage to meet
one of the printers in the evening, get ac
quainted, drink and have a good time gen
erally with him, and so proceed for a few
evenings. Then they offer him 150 to a
SIOO to procure a certain kind of impics
sion. This impression is made in this wise:
The printer will take the impression upon
tin foil from the plate from which he is
printing, which can be done in a moment.
Thus, you see, every line and the size are
obtained correctly. From this tin foil an
electrotype plate is made. They then get
some plate printer that can be found about
the city, have a good time with him, engage
him at twenty dollars a day to do the print
ing. By this P lau thousands of copies are
shuck off that defy detection, except ia the
quality of Urn paper, which will differ from
the'gcnuiuc. —fix.

Korn iz a serial, i am glad ov it.
It got its name from Spries„_A,
woraau, and in her
is s iirStimes^caI -** a^ze »
grows in su»t» parfp -- ebcru-fSffßStry
very amaiz"^-
j oeen it out there 18 fool hi (i don’t
the aktual korn itself, but the tree on
which it grows.)
Korn has cais, but never has but one
ear, which is as deaf as a ladder.
Injun meal iz made out ov korn, and
korn dodgers iz made out ov injun meal,
and korn dodgers are the tuffest chunks,
ov the bread purswashun known to man.
Kom dodgers are made out ov water,
with injun meal rnixt into it, and then
baked on a hard board, in the presence of
a hot fire.
When yon can’t drive a 10 penny nail
into them, with a sledge hammer, they are
eed, hi good judges, to Jae well done, and
are ready to be charged upon.
They will keep five years in a damp
place, and not grow tender, and a dog hit
with one of them will yell for a week and
then crawl under the barn, and mutter for
two days more.
I have knawed two hours miself on one
side of a corn dodger without producing
enny result, and i think i could starve to
death twice before i could seduce a korn
dodger.
They git the name dodger from tho im
megiate necessity of dodgeing if one iz
hove horizontally at yu in anger.
It iz far better tew be smote bi a 5 year
old steer, than a korn dodger, that iz only
three hours old.
Korn was first diskovered by the injuns,
but whare they found it i don’t know, and
don't know as i care.
Whiskee (noble whiskee) is made out of
korn, and whibkee is one of the greatest
known tew roan.
We never should hav bin able tew fill
our State prizons with energetick men, and
our poor houses with good eaters, if it
want for noble whiskee.
We never should hav had enny temper
ance sons ov society, nor demakratik poli
j’ticiaiis, nor prize sites, nor good murders,
nor phat aldermen, nor whiskee rings, nor
nothing, if it want for blessed whiskee.
If it want for korn how could enny bod
d} r get korned ?
And if it want for getting kerned, what
would life be worth?
We should all sink down to the level ov
the brutes if it want for getting korned.
The brutes don't git korned, they haint
got enny leason nor soul.
We often hear of ‘drunken brutes,’this is
a compliment to oxen which don’t belong
tew them.
Korn also haz kernels, and kernels are
often korned, so are brigadier ginerals.
Johnny cake is made out of |korn, so iz
hasty puddin.
Ilasty puddin and milk is quick tew eat.
All you got to do iz to gap, and swallo,
and that is the last of the puddin.
Korn was familiar to antiquity. Joseph
waz sent down into Eglpt after sum koin,
but his brothers didn't want him to go, so
thev took pitty on him and pitted him in a
pit.
When his brothers got back hum. and
were asked whare Joe woz, they did‘t ac«
knowledge the korn, but lied sura.
It has been proved, that it is wicked to
lie bout korn. or anyother vegetables.
Thare is this difference between Being
and sawing wood, it iz easier to lie espesh
ly in tbe shade.
Korn has one thing that noboddy else
lias got, and that iz a kob.
Thiskob runs thru the middle ov the
korn, and izaz P l * ull ov korn as Job was of
biles-
I alwas feel sorry when I think ov Job,
and wonder how he managed tew set down
in a chair,
Knowing how tow sit down, square on a
bile, without hurting tue chair, iz one ov
the lost arts.
Job was a card; he had more paschunce,
and biles, tew the square inch than iz
usual.
Oue hundred and twenty-five akers ov
born tew the bushel iz konsidered a good
krop, but I have seen more.
I have seen koru 6old for 10 cents a
bushel, and in some part of tbe western
country, it iz so much, that thare aint no
good lay against stealing it.
In konklusbun, if yu want tew git a suie
krop of korn, aud a good price for the
krop, feed about 4 quarts ov it tew a
shanghi. rooster, then murder the rooster
immejiately, aud sail hun for 1* cents a
pound, krop aud all.
[’• j.. ri A Maiden’s Love.
yrTUomnan nature has no essence more pure

J North even a Taint outline of tbe
enthueiatic sentiment. And Providence has
made the richest language poor in tho same
respect, because tbe depths of hearts that
thrill with love's emotions arc too sacred
for the common contemplation. The musi-
cal vrace of love stirs the scource of the
sweetest thoughts within the human breast
aud steals in to the profound recesses of the
soul, touching chords which never viber
ated before, and calling into gentle com
panionship delicious hopes, till then un
known. Yes, the light of a young maiden's
first love breaks dimly but beautifuly upon
her, as the silver lustre of a star glimmers
through the thickly woven bowers ; as she
feels the primal influence, is faint aud
pure as that which a rose leaf might cast
upon marble. But how rapidly doe3 that
light grow stronger, aud that flush deep
er, until the powerful effulgence of the one
irradiates every corner of her heart, and
the crimson glow of the otherxsuffuses
every feature of her countenance.
Freaks of Fashion.
Ear rings are now made to imitate gold
fish balls:
Stripes are all the rage in all sorts of
gentlemen’s clothing.
Opals are said to be the only kind of
precious stones that cannot be imitated.
Race parasols are tbe prettiest and the
costliest that can be carried on promes
nade.
Ladies' watches are now made in oval
case to look like lockets, aud worn on tbe
necklace
Sane gentlemen aro wearing sleeve-but
tons of colored marble, about the size of the
top of a ceqtre table.
We" have "seen very pretty negligee hats
made of white flannel ; band and binding
of bright silk ribbon.
A whisper from over-sca says Russia
leather is going to be a lavorite for dress-
Uimming next winter.
Tho most fashionable canes are small,
aud the natural stick, knobbed and knotted.
English blackthorn is the favorite.
White and black lace capes are worn
with low necked black slik dresses for full
everfing dress, and make very stylish, toil
ets with the addition of a handsome Ro
man sash.
All shades of yellow ribbon are just now
more than ordinarily fashionable, and
multitudes of bonnets and hats, trimmed
with at our most advanced and stylish
milliners. In neckties the same colors pre

Autograph fans has died a natural death.
Although a fearful bore to a youth who
hold not the 'pen of a ready writer, tuey
are altogether a pleasing shrine for sum
mer memories. Many a witty thirtg and
many a pretty thing has been wiitten on
them.
Black lace basques and jackets are mak«
ing their appearance in great variety, and
promise to be very Open and
flowing sleeves arc so much newer, and
considered so much more desirable than
the close ones, that there is a difference of
several dollars between the cost of one

There is nothing new to record in bon
nets or hats. Frou Frou gypsies of straw
or chip; trimmed with the invitablo stream

especially among young ladies, while the

A singular story comes from Washing
ton county Kansas. A man named Ham
mond was aroused by his wife the other
night with the cry thut there were wolves,
about the house. JHalf asleep, he grasped
his gun and excitedly ran out, and w&nton
a keen run for about half a mile before he
stopped at the Bight of a wolf. He raised
his gun to take aim, when he found that it
had been discharged. On returning to the
bouse he found his wife a corpse, and"his
four children crying about her bleeding
body. As the husband rushed out of the
door the lock or the trigger of the gun had
caught on the jam and was discharged, the
contents lodging in the breast of the unfor
tunate Woman. Tbe singular part of the
affair is that Hammond did not hear the re
port’ of the gnn nor feel its concussion.
This was his statement, at least, aud the
corner’s jury believed him, as he was ac
quitted of all blame in the matter.
Unlucky Days for Matrimony. —We may
possibly be doing a service to some of our
readers by informing them (on the authori
ty of a manußCiipt of the fifteenth century,
quoted from the Book of Days) that there
arc just thirty-two days in the year upon
which it is unadvisable to go into join-hand
—namely: seven in January; three each in
February, March, May and December; two
each in April, June, July, August, Septem*
ber and November; and one in October; so
that January is the Worst and October the
best month for committing matrimony, the
actual unlucky days being these: January

September 6th, 7th; October 6th; November
15th, 16tb, and December 15th, J6tb, 17th.
As to which is the best day of the week,

year, a gentlemen seeing an officer reading afood
uuder a great tent to a large number cf people,
asked ofa policeman who was keeping order what
the officer was reading. •‘Dickens’ Penny Picnic,
sir,” said the policeman. This was simply laugh
able, and nobody would have enjojed the man’s
harmless misknowledgo more than Dickens him
s°lf. But it must have been rather a different casS
when, at a party at Oxford, a gentleman In no way
distinguished by any look of peculiar stupidity,
asked Hawthorne if he was not the author of “Tha
Red Letter A." It would weakon the interest some
writers take in litorary glory, if they would only
keep their eyes open to the fact that the greater

The First Forokd Ban* Fota.— Sixty-soils yetfi
after tho establishment of the Bank of England
the first forged note was presented for payment,
and to Bichard William Vaughan, a Stafford linen
draper, belongs Ihe. melancholy celebrity of haring
led tho van in this new phase of crime in the yea?
1758. Tbe records of his life do do not show want,
beggary, or starvation urging him, hut a simple
desire to stem greater than he was. By one of the
artists employed (and there Were several engaged
in different parts of the notes) the discovery waa
made. The criminal had filled up to the cumber
of twenty and deposited them In the hands of a
young lady to whom be was attached, at a proof of
his wealth. There Lno calculating ho* much
longer bank notes might have been fcoe trom imi
tation had this man not shown with what ease they
might be counterfeited. From this period forged
notes became common. His execution did not
deter others from tbe offence, and many aaeek waa
forfeited to the halter before the late abolition of
capital punishment for that crime.
A Fashionable young lady of rather attenuated
figure, while in the hands of her draMiaakecs,, be
came alarmed at the spaciousness apportioned to
her bodice, declared that.'she cou*d never wear
it, and the silk had been wrongly out. “Pardon
