THE THREE KISSES . .Aliiricu.
Lara. Good day, lair gentlemen! a merry
day.
Hugh. It might be ra< trier.
Basil Might be sadder, say.
Lara. It might be both. Our project, by
the way.
When last wo met, you know, oar fancy
moved
Us eaclite tow he'd kiss the one lie loved ;
And here we meet, as our appointments
were,
To tell our fortune,
f brtune is a cur!
I'll give you inii.e, sirs. This is wind befell:
Last night I found the scornful Isabel
Working bad tulips in her tupestrie;
I stole upoa her softly as may be,
And throw my arms about her.
Basil Very geod!
Hugh. Na, very bad ; for rising where she
sttood,
fShe desk too six such bullets on the ears
That I saw stars in all the glittering ifdieres!
Lara. Your pain was great because your
ears were long!
.4. clever girl, find only half i‘ the wrong.
A handy dame! Now. Basil, wluit is yours ?
Hugh. First let me say that bandy dames
are bores.
Basil. I must allow that my success in this
Was such as filched the value from the kiss.
Until t’ds day, Angelin had Keri
So coy, so modest, such a prudish queen.
Methought a kiss would stop her pious
breath,
And that the maid would bfen-h herself to
death 1
To break the matter gently as I could,
I—l asked her.
Lara. An’ now, by Holyrood,
That tens most modest!
Basil. When, to my surprise,
She looked straight through me with her soft
blonde eyes,
And then put up the daintiest kind of mouth ,
For lae so kiss—and kiss I did, forsooth !
Lara. An honest lady ; but she’ll learn ,
•non
That favors are not valued, lightly won.
Hugh, (to Lira,) I hope your lady nearly
murdered you!
Lara. She did, in faith, by all that’s good
and true!
Her eyes were sharp stilettoes, and she gave .
Some wonndsthatl shall carry to my grave! •
Basil. You kissed her ?
Lara. Ay. You should have seen her face.
So half-indignant at her lips’ disgrace;
(For. gentle sirs, I did undo my love.
While she unlooped the fastening of my
glove !)
She stormed at first, then knit her fingers—
so :
And I stood laughing at her pretty woe:
She blushed, laughed, wept, then blushed
and w ept again ;
Until her cheeks were roses drenched with
rain.
A merry day fair gentlemen !
Hugh. It might be merrier !
MUSICAL SNOBS
Thackeray, as our readers know, has written
a book of Snobs, in which the merciless satirist
has exposed and lashed w ith an unsparing hund
the meannesses, the weaknesses, the follies, in
a word, the snobbishness of modern society.
The various kinds of Snobs, both male and
female, have been depicted by him with a vi
vidness and accuracy which continually remind
us of some of the living specimens of our ac
quaintance in the society around us.
He defines a Snob to be “one who meanly
admires a mean thing," and this characteristic
runs through all the varieties of the speciea.
There is one sort of Snob, however, which
Thackeray has failed to notice, but a liieli is as
vulnerable as any of the varieties which abound
in Snobdom. We mean the Musical Snob— :
and wo define this sort of Snob to be a man or ,
woman who sillily and extravagantly admires •
music which neither he nor she understands or
appreciates. The Musical Snob is generally a
person of rather feeble powers of mind who
has a vague impression that all persons of cul
tivation and refinement have n knowledge of
music and patronize the operas and concerts,
•nd that iu order to maintain a respectable po
sition in Snobdom it is absolutely necessary tor
him to affect an ecstatic appreciation and en
joyment of musical entertainments, about which
he in fact knows nothing whatever. It is a
cheap way of earning a reputation tor culture,
and is admirably suited to the capacity of his
intellect. It is true that the Musical Snob
knows nothing of foreign languages, indeed he
is miserably deficient in his own, but the degree
of his enjoyment is always in proportion to his
Ignorance of the words which some charming
cnntatrice is torturing into very questionable
harmony, lie almost swoons with rapture
when she sings in German or Italian, and if he
could only hear an opera in Sanscrit or Japan
ese, the agony of his enjoyment would be too
much for hi* feeble body. lie knows the names
and histories of all the Frimu Donnas and all
celebrated vocalists who have ever condescend
ed to sing for his enjoyment and that of Snob
doin. He criticises with minute accuracy the
difference between Malibran and Stmt.-lg, I’arodi
and Jenny Lind. His knowledge of tenor, al
to, contralto and soprano is wonderful beyond
belief. Y’ou stand amazed at the flippancy and
volubility with which he draws the subtlest
distinctions. Indeed you have been lost in
wonder:
And still the wonder grew
That one small head could carry all be knew.
Tn the opinion of the Musical Snob, the man
who can play the fiddle on one string is a great
er hero than Alexander, Walker, or qpy other
renowned filibuster. Such an one is an orator
s. whose winning notes are more thrilling ami
inspiring to Snobdom than the eloquence of
Patrick Henry or Edward Everett.
Snobdom in this city, (hiring the last week,
has been agitated and excited to its inmost core
by Tlialberg's concerts. Hundreds of snobs of
both sexes have flocked to hear them at rate
of admission which they would think extrava
gant for the privilege ot hearing all the elo
quence of the American Senate. But this is
one of the peculiarities of Snobdom when it
developes itself in a musical direction—the
higher the price of admission, the greater the
enjoyment and the more absolutely necessary it
is that the Snob should show his musical en
thusiasm.
Young Spooney has an office near our sanc
tum, and attended all the concerts last week.
He cherishes a tender regard for Miss Muggins,
who lives on a fashionable street. He heard
her repeat, in one of her sentimental moments,
some quotation expressive of her utter abhor
rence for the man who has no music in his soul.
He felt that lie cotrhl not hereafter look her in
the face and say that he had not heard Tlial
berg and Vieuxtemps. So Spooney went with
Miss Muggins to the concerts, lie could not
afford it. Indeed, being on terms of intimate
acquaintance with him, he confided to us the
Sut <4 Ida being "strapped.” and we know that
xi eeZMeqitencc of it he has put off the payment
of his washerwoman till next week. But he
has had the satisfaction of going to the con
certs and of telling all his friends. He has
»in«e talked it all over with Miss M. They
have compared and contrasted the merits of
Thai berg and List, of Ole Bull and Vieuxtemps:
and after the most impartial discussion, they
have settled it to their own satisfaction that
Thallierg is the greatest of Pianists and \ b ux
temps the king of the Violin. <>, Snobbish
Spooney, you know that neither ot you under
stood what you were talking about. T ou know
that Miss M„ the adorable, knows us little
about it as you do. Yon know that she has a
piano on which she has not played since she
stopped taking music lessons. You know that
whenever you ask her to slug she is afflicted
with a cold. In short, you know that you are
both a couple of young impostois. Butthen.
our dear fellow, for your comfort, we will tell
sou that yog nre not the only Musical Snob in
town. Indeed, we hope that you have not been
: .as silly as some of your brethren. We hojie
I that when Thalberg poured out his passion
\ ate and sublime strains, you were not so over
whelmed wiih unendurable bliss as to cry out
in mercy for one false note to break the flow
I of uninterrupted harmony, and so relievo your
overwrought sold. Me hope that you did not
cry out in tlig divine inspiration which filled
your soul, “glory !” "glory !" under a false im
pression that yon were in heaven, and would
have no tradesmen’s bill to pay. W« ]«ipc that
when yon mid Miss Muggins were returning
home you did not, in the heated phrenzy of
yonr brain, compare Vienxtemp’s bow to the
Rainbow, bringing joy mid peace to your trou
bled soul. We will pardon, in consideration of ’
your youth, what you said about brilliant swel
ling crescendos and soft, fading cadences; but
Vou must learn to lie honest, Spooney, and not
• pretend to know ledge that you don’t possess.
Os course a great many persons w ho attend
ed these concerts really enjoyed ami apprecin-
I ted them, and we suppose that they were as
I admirable and excellent as they are desaribed
Ito have been. But many of our readers, we
fear, will recognize in these remarks some truth
applicable to themselves.
After all, what better can a man do who lives i
in Snobdom than to conform to its customs and 1
obey it- b<-h. -t-’. Vive la humbug! Vivek
Snobdom!— Biehnnn.d Eraminer.
ITtIdTEL IN ARKANSAS.
Arkansas! The state of all the southern
confederacy worst ridden by demagogues and
politicians. Itich in her soil and mineral
wealth, and poorest in everything like internal
: improvements and commercial facilities of all
kinds. Iler public roads are quagmires, and |
her rivers innocent of any improvement save
those afforded by nature. Jogging along over
one of these self -mne roads, 1 broke my bitg
igy trying to drive round a suspicious spot,
I where some philanthropist had erected a liicko
‘ ry suppling bearing the ominous words,
"No 11(1111 M Hkaii.”
Delayed ami benighted, 1 at last reached a
. log-house, whose blazing tire-light through the
open door promised comfort ; and, if I guessed
aright, some half dozen horses hitched at the
■ gate indicated that “ something was going on.”
1 hailed: "Halloo! who lives here?”
•• Me, Bob Woods. What dove want?”
“ Supper ami lodging, if you can accomtno
i date me ?”
This brought “ Bob Is” to the gate,
where he proceeded to imform me that his I
i "darter Melindy was bout getting married; ■
but he’d as leis make a dollar as not, e! I'd feed j
I my horse myself, and sleep on a corn-shnek
shake-down afore the fire." I jumped at the
offer am! out of my buggy, fed "Lightning” a
I better supper than he ever had in his life be
fore, w ashed my hands, and went, in to see the
fun. I was made at home in a moment. The
idea of an “Orlecn feller” currying and feed
ing his own horse w as something entirely new, ,
; ami I wns a favorite in-tautcr, guaranteed by
■ a prompt invitation to "liquor." The parson
imbibed, drew an enormous red bandanna
across his lips, and announced that "he was
ready to talk when the rest was.” This brought
forth the happy couple. The groom was a
lanky specimen in homespun, and led his bride
Iby the hand. She wasa bouncing, rosy-cheek
cd damsel, following a step or two behind,
I feeling evidently in a novel position. “Yen
Melindy, take yer linger outen yer mouth!”
Melindy east a defiant look at her maternal
relative, withdrew the offending member, wiped i
it on her apron, and quickened her pace. The ;
; young parson, after some little trouble, ar- ;
ranged them to his satisfaction, and proceeded:
"John Stribner, do you take Melindy Woods,
i in the presence ot these witnesses, to lie your
; lawful wedded wife I"
“ That’s wot I’m hy ar for," answered Mr.
Stribner, cramming his hands into his breeches
■ pockets.
“ You will please answer, ‘Yes or no.’”
“ Yes or no,” promptly returned the gentle
man.
“ No, no ! —say yes."
| “ Y-a-a-s, then!" casting a sheepish look!
I around him.
| “ Meliudv Woods.”
! “ Y-a-a-s!”
“ Wait a moment, please. Melindy Woods,
do you take John iStribner, in the presence of ■
these witnes-es, to he your lawful wedded hus
band ?”
" 1 reckin."
“Then, in the presence of the witnesses
spoken of. I declare you mini an' wife ’cordin'
to the laws of Arkansaw an’ the Gospill; an’
wot’s thus jined let no man put in sunder.”
The parson turned away, flushed and excited,
but was recalled by a query from Mr. Stribner.
“ Mas’ a’ kiss her now, George?”
“As you please, John: she’s yours now.”
“ Hole tip yer inonf, Melindy.”
“Shan't do it—right here afore folks.”
Jonn didn't argue the point, but sidled up to
I the grinning group where I was standing, and
proposed that "us boysshould take some ‘bust
I head’” (whiskey.) Meanwhile I heard Melin
dy’s triumphant voice among some of her com
panions: Kiss! humph! Jawn's turned fool, 1
b’lieve.” I slept on my corn-shuck shake
down afore the lire soundly that night, being
separated from the bridal apartment by a cur
tain extemporised for the occasion. From be
hind its folds 1 heard "Jawn’s" remonstrating
voice, followed by a host of loving apologies
from Melindy for the refused kiss. I'll take
my all'ydavy” that lie received Hint one n hun
dred told, with interest.
Next day's journeying would have tried the
patience of Job himself. A cold, raw, rainy
day, and the celebrated D’Arbonne were before
me, as I set out in the morning, and 1 need not
I assure you the prospect was cheering. On we
went, Lightning and I. (my horse was so named
on account ofhis wonderful speed—say three
miles mi hour.) Up the hill-side we plodded
through the rain, mid ran races down the oth
er w ith the mimic rivers the rain was making
in the wagon ruts, they tearing madly along as
: though old Nick were to pay if they didn't
reach the bottom in time. They reminded me
j of human kind —the most pretentious and noi
sy are ever of the least value or true import
ance, (bear that in mind, will you.) To wear
away the time, 1 proceeded to exercise my su
perb bass voice in chantingthe praisesof‘Home,
! sweet home,” much to the amusement and edi
fication of the wild hogs sheltered beneath the
oaks at the roadside. During the performance,
my 1101‘sc several times camo to a dead halt;
ami a’Otten ns this occurred his hide suffered,
until the brilliant idea struck me that perhaps he
stopped- to hear me ttimj . r Mollified and re
pentant, 1 appropriated the tacit compliment,
and proceeded to the execution of the next
verse, incorporating all the latest variations,
when, lo !he stopped again! My lin k of pa
tience got the better of my vanity, and out I
jumped into the mud and rain to examine the
harness. All right there: “Now, confound
you, git up!” and my whip was called into
play. Drenched and muddy as 1 was, 1 bore it
philosophically; ami when my blood settled I
concluded to prove my even temper by the last
! stanza. I watched the brute, and he watched
i me: and 1 ascertained the mysterious cause of
' his frequent halts, and wiiat d'ye supposed it
was? Why, whenever I came to "H-o-m-e,
ffsweet, sweet Home.” (imagine the melody !)
the blamed hypocrite pretended he thought 1
said "Whoa!”and would halt, and lean against
! a shaft, as if awaiting my further pleasure.—
Horses can he deceitful as white folks; but
Lightning’s hide did penance for his deceit very
amply, until a warm dinner improved his mus
ter’s temiper. To any blessed with the latter
trait, I would say—-don’t try to travel to Ar
kansas in a buggy.—A'. (>. Delta.
HOW A CHUBCH WAS CUBED OF FREMONTISM.
The Hartford Times relates the following :
A Congregational Church in a neighboring
State got so completely enlisted in the Presi
dential contest, for Fremont and Jessie, that
little attention was given to religious ques
tions. The minister was constantly preaching,
pray ing, exhorting upon political issues—and
his deacons and the laymen followed suit nt
the prayer and conference meetings. Finally
a worthy old farmer, one of the staunchest and
best members of the church, and a firm unde-
viating Democrat, was called upon to oiler a
; prayer.
“’<> Lord,” said lie, "ujihold the old Demo
cratic party, which has received Thy protect
ing support ever since the great Jeffersonian
struggle. Continue to bless that old party
which has, under Tby protection and provi
dence, brought great blessings upon this Re
public. Ifitbc Tliy pleasure, and I believe it
will be. (» carry that party through this strug
gle to a complete triumph. Bless James Bu
i chamm, the tried mid honest statesman, mid
i guide him safely to the Presidential chair.—
Bless John (’. Breckenridge, the young and
zealous Democrat, and open to him the path
! of duty as well as that which leads straight to
J tiie \ ice Presidency. Give them victory. O
bless the opponents of Democracy personally,
I but utterly destroy their fanatical and injurious
political schemes, if it be Tby will so to do, as
1 verily believe it is. Be on the side of De
mocracy, O Lord, as thou hast been for the
past lifty-six years and on the 4th of March
next we shall witness the inauguration of
Pennsylvania's favorite son, and the people of
this country will once more settle down in
their peucctiil pursuits instead of warring wick
edly, section against section, interest against
i interest, and man'against his brother. And O, ,
! I bc-eech Thee, especially free the Christian
Churches from the political strife and bitter-
I ness w hich arc rending asunder, destroy ing 1
their usefullness, and turning them unhappily, i
into mere political associations. Let us hear ■
something of Thy word mid mercy on the Sab
bath. We have already been plied to fulness
with political fanaticism, mid our minister has ;
become a stump orator against the good old ,
party w hich Thou in Thy wisdom hast upheld
I so long, and so repeatedly guided to x ietory, :
mid sustained in the establishment of sound
measures. O, turn his mind from these things ,
and dileet his attention to his legitimate relig
ious duties, or turn him over directly into the I
hands oftlic Federal or Abolition party, mid '
let them take care of him, and provide us with '
a true minister of the Gospel. At any rate,
the present state of things cannot hist. If pol
itics are to rule, I shall claim one half of the
time in behalf otthe Democratic party, so that
there may be fair discussion within these
walls—Amen!”
This was a stumper. It was the first prayer
ever publicly ottered in that church for the suc
cess of the Democratic party and its nominees,
though hundreds of prayers and exhortations
had lieen made against that party. When the
i old man had finished, there was a silence for
hillfan hour, and the meeting then adjourned.
: And thus ended the political preaching iu that
church. From that time forward the minister
attended to his gospel duties and left all politi- .
cal questions to be settled by the people out
side of the church. Again his society pros
pered, there was a better feeling among its
I members —more Christian charity—more broth
erly love. The old man’s earnest prayer was
j answered in more respects than one.
FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE FOB FEBBUABY.
(From ttio New York correspondent of the Char
luston Mercury,
The changes observed are mostly variations
in ball and evening costumes, of which great
numbers have recently been made in this city
for the fete» at the Capita). Among these we
may mention a few, which strike us as being
particularly elegant. One was a white crape
i with a double skirt each bordered by two
I broad stripes of green satin, which on the up- |
I per one extended up the sides. Between these !
-tripe-- were beautiful bouquets of flowers and '■
leaves, embroidered in green and cherry silk ;
and gold thread. Body very low. short pulled ;
sleeve and pointed brettelles, with a double j
border to match the skirts. The corsage sloped !
down towards the front, and at the centre a
very full cluster of small gold grapes, green vel
vet leaves and cherry buds were placed. A
wreath of the same was designed for the hair.
Another was a robe of rich pink taflettas In a
new design. A long and a short breadth i
formed n double skirt in front, bordered with !
i raised satin flower-. These also formed sn
j perb side stripes which reached from the top
i to the bottom giving the effect ot the robes
i ipiille. the "apron" style, mid the double skirts
j ill front, but leaving it entirely plain behind.—
i The body was high across the back, square at
■ the front, and headed with a row ot lace, head
ed by a ruche of white satin ribbon. Sleeves
1 a Vemtieuur, lined with white silk and finish
ed with blonde ruche on the inside and a ruche
of w bite and pink satin ribbon on the out
side.
Two dresses are made of fine‘silk illusion —
one white and the other black: both had three
skirts, the lower one trimmed with five putt’s,
the second with four, and the third with three.
Through the puttings on the white dress, a
blue ribbon was run, w hile those on the black
were spotted all over w ith scarlet marabout
feathers. The bodies of both w ere low. the
sleeve* short and putted, w hile the tiny waists
were almost covered with pointed puttings
trimmed to match the skirts.
A silver cordon, fastened with a bow. and
long ends of blue ribbon, formed the head
dress iu one case, while in the other, a double
wreath of scarlet marabout fringe, tipped with
gold, added a superb effect to the prettv toi
let.
A very handsome robe of China blue cord
ed silk w as made w ith a double skirt, trimmed
with seven illusion puffs, barred with loops of
bluechenille. A pointed tulle berthe, trimmed
to match, decorated the low corsage.
Very pretty dresses are made of white India
muslin, with two or three skirts, looped up
with tint bows of black velvet; the boddies
trimmeiFwith chenille berthes, small scarlet
and black fichus, or brettelles of black guipure
lace.
Black is greatly in vogue for promenade cos
tume. Velvet cloaks are richly trimmed, al
most covered, w ith deep guipure lace, and
worn w ith the superb velvet robe dresses.
Beaver cloaks have very wide hanging
sleeves, plaited at the top and adorned with
vnudebougs.
Very beautiful opera cloaks are made of
white merino, bordered with white or color
ed silk, quilted in small diamond pattern ; this
is edged with deep-knotted moss fringe.
Bonnets are still worn very small, the most
recherche being made of one colored velvet,
black or dark green, and without trimming, ex
cepting u narrow row of drop-bugle lace ex
tending round the front and curtain. Some
times a wreath of small velvet daisies, iu crim
son or ponceau, is added, placed near the edge
of the front, and with bugle centres.
Another pretty idea for a plain velvet bon
net is a small scarf of plaid or dark bright
' colored velvet edged with fringe, which is
i placed across the front, the ends descending
upon the curtain.
The great Calico Ball at the Academy ot
Music is the subject ot conversation nt all the

a genuine "calico’’ ball, the committee have

they can transform themselves from the bloom

GEORGIA ANECDOTES.
Harpers Magazine for February contains the
following brace of Georgia Anecdotes:
We have a corresptindent in Georgia who
overflows with good things and is always wel
come to the Draw er, He sends ns the follow
ing :
Judge Dooly, nn eminent jurist in Georgia
forty years ago, was a great wag a* well as a
great judge—witty as well as wise. His grav
ity gave effect even to his jokes, and these were
more frequent t linn his decisions. Ono of his
fancies was to take people down who were in
the habit of exugeration. The way he used up
Austin Edwards, keeper of the hotel at Elbert
. ton, is a caution to all story-tellers, *>l whom
Aii'tin was the prince. He alway s told the
■ truth and more. "It was natters!,’’ ho said;
! "he liked uncommon things better than com
mon ones—’twas a heap moreamnsin’anyhow.’
One morning at the breakfast table this long
bow landlord had lieen relating one of his ex
traordinary yarns, and Judge Dooly, being at
the hotel and listening to the story, sat in sol
emn silence when it was over, and then re
marked that ho had an awful dream in the
night, and was very much depressed thismorn-
i ing. The landlord was awake in a Ihoment,
1 and begged the Judge, if it would be no vio
| lence to his feelings, to relate the dream as all
! would like to hear it. The Judge still declined,
■ as it might hurt, the feelings of others.
“Oh, do tell it. Judge—we must have it!”
I urged the landlord, and theeompany joining in,
I the Judge proceeded as if he w ere about to
J sentence a criminal lo be hung:
"Well, 1 dreamed last night that two law-
I yers and my self had retired to a private room
to divide among us a fee received from a hard
’ case, which had been carrie 1 through w ith a
l mighty deal of lying on all hands. While we
i were settling the division in steps the devil,
i who, without any formality, said he had come
I for us—we had told lies enough, and if he left
us any longer w e might repent, and so he
would lose us. We di<l our best to persuade
him to let us oft’, but he was inexorable, til! nt
last I ventured to ask him if he would take a
substitute.
“Whom do you offer?” he asked.
“Austin Edwards,'! said, keeper of the El
liertton Hotel,’
"Good! he ll do,’said he, ‘send him along.—
I’ll take him for nil three of you!”
The table was in a roar, and the landlord
cured, for a time at least, ofhis habit of over
drawing. He passed away a few years since,
and Judge Dooly is gone too, so there is no
harm done in telling the story.
THALBERG ON THE BANJO.
The Courricr tells the follow-
ing good story of the great piano-forte k?lig,
; which we believe to be true. At any rate, we
have seen an advertisement of Thai berg's teach
er on this classical instrument announcing the
fact, accompanied by a recommendation from
the pianist, not of the instrument, indeed, but
of the professor:
“Thalberg, returned to New York from his
triumphant tour in the interior, is reposing
gracefully and quietly on his laurels. At pres
ent he dreams only of a for niente season at
i the sea side, and if, from the force of habit, he
must indulge in some musical recreation, it is
! not with the piano-forte.
“Not the piano-forte ?” do you ask. “And
' what, then, may it be?”
AVe give you ten. yes a hundred guesses,
but we counsel you, as you value your comfort,
•to ‘give up’at once. Know that Thalberg, the
great'i halberg, reposes from his royal sov
ereignty in cultivating the banjo! We have
written it—the banjo!
“Here are the facts. Entering his apart
ments the other day at the St. Nicholas, in
place of the magnificent Erard we were accus
tomed to find there, there appeared a suspi
cious box of > »mewhat musical form, and bear
ing the significant addres <
•’in the name < f St. (A; ilia, is it not a banjo
case ?”
"it is nothing vis replied Thalberg. in his
usual quiet and modot tones.
“And, we con tin tied, ’you play on this odd
instrument t”
“I have taken ten lessons,' responded, im»t
humbly, the celebrated man ; and encouraged,
doubtless, by the admiration plainly depicted
on onr countenance, he added:
“Ami 1 will acknowledge that I have made
considerable progress already.'
“Pray let us have the special favor of judg
ing for ourselves! All the world has heard
Thalberg on the piano-forte; I t us have the
privilege of hearing him on the banjo.”
"With his uniform kindness, he at once open
ed Uie case, it was empty. Thalberg with
the enthusiasm of all young students, had at
tacked with too much warmth the melody ;
“0 Susannah ! don’t yon cry forme,
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my
knee.’
Ami ahis! the instnicmcnt was now gone to
the shop for repair.
“Thus we have not yet heard Thallarg on
the banjo! When we have that honor, the
world shall surely know it. Oh! that we
could be in Paris, when, on the artist's return,
this new acj’ompanimcnt is made known to
the public of that city! Nothing of the like
has been dreamed of there, ami all the little ec
centricities of Vivier will be entirely eclipsed.
Every man will be button-holed in the streets,
not for the salutation, ‘How do you do ?' but
j with the query, ‘Have you heard Thalberg’s
j banjo ?’
“The banjo ! What in the nane of Saxe is
that ?
“An original affair; the national instrument
of America, (the black part of it at least;) a
guitar finger-board attached to a good drum.'
“For a week, Paris will think of nothing else.
Government may, if it pleases, make a new
coup d'etat : no one will pay the slightest atten
' tion to it, for the great affair of the hour will
; l>c to hear Tlialberg's banjo!”
“Governor Gilmer, of Georgia, ’’ so says a
Georgia contributor “had a pa»ion for buying
all sorts of old iron truck, broken-down wag
ons, and such rubbish, wfyich he had piled up
in the yard, under the impression that it would
come into use some time or other. It annoyed
his wife excessively; and one day, when the
Governor was away from home, she had the
whole pile carted off to auction. It so hap
pened that just the auctioneer had put up
t he lot tbcGovernor was riding by, and buy it
he would; for. as lie looked at it, he declared
that he had a lot at home in which there were
several things to match. He bid ten dollars,
’ and the whole concern was knocked down to
' him. A few days afterwards he was admiring
Mrs. Gilmer’s new bonnet, and asking her its
cost, she said, ‘Ten dollars, husband; the same
; ten you paid for your own old iron, ami if you
1 don't clear it out of the yard I shall sell it
again!’ The Governor shortly after that re
tired from tho iron business.”
Moral CoriiAGE.— The journals in various
! parts of the country just now. tell of numerous
I cases of young men committing “suicide”—
i “not being able to get any employment,” often
leaving behind them " wife and children.” It
. is difficult to say exactly how much physical
1 courage is required to cut one's throat, or blow
one's brains out —but nothing is hazardous in
saying that all such suicides are the worst sort
of moral cowards, and as such, perhaps they
are as well out of the world.
When the I landi.-hiik Lt* of life are gone.
■ The coward sneaks t » death—the brave live on.
