A FRIEND.
I'VE LOST MT BRITCHES.
“It chanced to be a washing day,
And all the clothes were drying,
A storm came rustling through the line,
And set them all a flying !
I saw tite sheets and chimasettes
Go riding off like witches,
I lost - ah ! bitterly I wept.
1 lost my Sunday britches !
I saw them straddling through the a'r,
Mas. too late to win them—
-1 Nttv them chase the cloud as if
The and I had been in them ;
They were my darling and my pride,
My liybo<id's only riches—
Farewell, farewell, 1 faintly said,
By brifclies, oh my britches!
I have had many happy years with
A tailor kind and friendly,
But those young pantaloons have gone,
Forever and forever.
And not till fate has cut the last
Os all my earthly riches,
This aching heart shall cease to mourn,
My loved, my long lost britches !”
-
Regularly Sold Out.
During the month of January, 1850, while
stopping at the Sutter House, in Sacramento
City, California, I accidentally overheard a
conversation between two gentlemen, one who
was from New York city, and had been in the
country nearly a year, and the other had just
arrived.
The new comer was lamenting his condition
and his foil}: in leaving an abundance at home,
and especially two beautiful daughters who
were just budding into womanhood—when he
asked the New Yorker if he had a family.
4 Yes, sir; I have a wife aud six Children in
Now York—and I never saw one of them.’
After this reply, the couple sat a few mo
ments in silence; then the interrogator again
commenced:
‘Was you ever blind sir V
4 Xo, sir.’
Another lapse of silence.
‘Did I understand you to say, sir, that you
had a wife and. six children living in New York
and had never seen one of thefn.’
‘Yes. sir—l so stated it.’
Another and longer pause of silence. Then
the interrogator again inquired:
‘How can it be, sir, that you never saw one
of them.’
‘Why,’ was the response, ‘one of them was
born after I left.’
‘Oh all !’ and a general laugh followed;
and after that the New Yorker was especially
distinguished as the man who had, ‘had six
children and never saw one of them.’
Jons Randolph’s Rebuke to iiis Negroes.
—Returning to Roanoke after a long absence,
John Randolph discovered that the negroes
had been very negligent. The barns were
empty, aud there was nothing to eat He de
termined to assemble the negroes, and give
them a talk. ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen,” said
he, ‘ I appear before you with great diffidence
on the present occasion ; perhaps, ladies and
gentlemen, you feel as deeply as I do, for af
ter inspecting the barns, I cannot find any evi
dence of your industry during my absence.—
What is to be done ? We have nothing to
cat, and to avoid starvation, one of us must
necessarily run away. Now, ladies and gen
tlemen, I have a proposition to make, which is
this : that as one of us must run away, we had
better compromise the difficulty, and both of’
us run away together.”
Texas Legislature. —Mt. Bryan, on the
31st July, introduced in the House a joint
resolution, which requires the Governor to
convene a special Legislature on or before the
Ist of January, 1857, should the antislavery
candidate for Presidency be elected; and fur
ther, that the Govenor forward a copy of these
resolutions to the Govenorof each slaveholding
State. The resolutions were referred to the
Committee ou State affairs.
He got ik. —At a camp-meeting, last sum
mer, not more than fifty thousand miles from
Boston, the trumpet had called the congrega
tion together, but a crowd of ilders and row
dies stood outside the range of seats and would
not come in. The presiding elder invited them
twice with no effect. Then after singing a hymn,
turned to the crowd and said—“As man v of
yon as havn’t got the itch,’ or small pox, or any
other contageous disease, we shall be glad to
have come forward. All others will remain
outside.”—Not one was left out.
*S?*Two Irishmen, ojice crossing a field,
came in contact with a Jackass, which was
making “daylight hides” with his unearthly
braying. Jimmy stood a moment in astonish
ment, and turning to Pat, who also seemed
enraptured with the song, he remarked:—“lt’s
a fine large ear that bird has for music, but
lie’s got a wonderful bad cowld!”

Good News from New Hampshire.— A pri

“The prospccts*of Buchanan are very favor
able in this State, and we have strong hopes
of securing the Electoral vote of the State
