A PUNGENT CONSIDERATION Of the Various Trades and Callings. 11Y I'JvIVATE MILES O’HEILLY Of all the trades that men may call ‘ • , Unpleasant and offensive, The Editor’s is the worst of nil, For ho Is ever pen-slve; His leaders lead to nothing high, ■ Tlis columns are’unfitabio, ‘ And though the printer makes him pi, It docs not suit his table. ’ The Carpenter—his course Is plane; His bit Is always near him; He augers every hour of gain, ‘ He chisels, and hone jeer him. Ho shaves, yet close, they say, The public pay his board, sir; Full of wise saws, ho bores away, And so he swells Ills hoard, sir. • St. Crispin's son—the man of shoos. Has awl things at control, sir; He waxes wealthy in his views, But ne’er neglects his solo, sir. His is indeed a heeling trade, And when wo come to casting The toelal prollls ho lias made, We ilnd his ends are lasting. The Tailor, too, gives fits to all, Yet never gets a basting; His cabbages, however small. Are most delicious tasting;' His goose is heated—happy pig! Unstinted in his measure; He always plays at thimble-rig, And seems a man of pleasure. The Farmer reaps a fortune plump, Though harrowed far from woo, sir; His spade forever proves a trump, His book Is I've an hoc , sir; However corned, he does not slip, Though husky, never hoarse, sir; And In'a plough-share partnership, Ho gets his share of course, sir. The Sailor on his giddy mast— Comparatively master— Has many a bulwark round him cast To wave away disaster; Even shrouds to him are full of life. His mainstay still Is o’er him, A gallant and top-gallant crew, Of bcoux csjiriti before him. The sturdy Irish Laborer picks . ■ And climbs to fame—’tis funny; He deals with none but regular bricks, Aud so ho pockets money; 0 11 e friend sticks to him (mortar Tis,), In hodden gray uubnlUed, Ho leaves below an honest name When he ascends the scaffold. The Printer, though his.case be.hard, Yet sticks not on his nap, sir; ’Tis his to canonize the bard, And tripa a Homan cap, sir, Siomc go two-forty—what of that? Ho goes It by the thousand 1 A man of form, and fond of fat. He loves the song I now send. The Engine-driver, If we track His outward semblance deeper, Has got some very tender traits— He ne’er disturbs the sleeper; And when you switch him as he goes, He whistles all the louder; And should you brake him on the wheel, It only makes him prouder. I launched this skiff of rhyme upon Tito trade-winds of the mdses ; Through pungent seas they’ve borne it on, The boat no rudder uses. So masticate its meaning once. And judge,not sternly of It— You’ll find a freight of little puns, And very little profit. TKIIEIIVO A IHJNTEII, Buffalo hunting is not at all sport with out peril. The hunter frequently risks his life, mid numerous have been the fa tal results of encounters with these ani mals. The bulls, when wounded, cannot be approached, even on horseback, with out considerable risk, while a dismounted hunter has but a slight chance of esca ping. The buffalo runs with a gait appa rently heavy and lumbering—first bear ing to one side, then to the other, like a shiir at sea; but this gait, although not equal in speed to that of a horse, is far too fast for a man on foot; and the swiftest runner, unless favored by a tree or some other object, will be surely overtaken, and cither gored to death by the animal’s horns, or pounded to ajelly under its heavy hoofs. Instances of the kind are far from being rare, and, could amateur hunters only get at the buffalo, such occurrences ■would bo fearfully common. I was once travellingwith Bent’s train from Fort Independence to Santa Fe. — One evening, after the wagons had been corralled, and my animal had got some rest and a bite of corn, I leaped into the saddle, and set out to see if I could find something fresh for my own supper. It was a rolling prairie, and the camp was soon hidden from my sight—as it lay in a hollow between two swells. Trusting to the sky for my direction, therefore, I continued on. After riding about a mile, I should think, I came upon buffalo signs. It was not the first time for me, and I akw at a glance that the sign was fresh.— There were several wallows; and I could tell by the tracks, in the dusk, that there had been nothing but bulls in that quar-' ter. A cow track would have pleased me better; but, after all, thought I, a fresh bull’s tongue is better for a change than salt bacon; so I followed the trailiu hopes of getting one. Shortly after, I came to a place where the ground was ploughed up, as if a drove of hogs had been rooting it. Here there had been a terrible fight among the bulls —it was the rutting seas on, when such conflicts occur. This au gured well. Perhaps there 'are cows in the neighborhood, reasoned I, as I gave the spur to my horse, and followed the trail with more spirit. I had ridden full five miles from camp, when my attention was attracted by an odd noise ahead of me. There was a ridge in front that prevented me from seeing what produced the noise; but I knew what it was—it was the bellowing ofa buffalo bull. Atintervals, there were quick shocks as of two hard substances coming in violent contact with each oth er. I mounted the ridge with caution, and looked over its crest. There was a valley beyond; a cloud of dust was rising out of its bottom, and in the midst of this I could distinguish two huge forms—dark and hirsute. I saw at once that they were a pair of buffalo bulls engaged in a fierce fight. They were alone; there were no others in sight, eitherin the val ley or in the prairie beyond. . I did not halt longer than to see that the cap was on my rifle, and to cock the piece. Occupied ns the animals were, I did not imagine they would heed me j or, if they should attempt flight, I knew I could easily overtake one or the other— so, without any further hesitation or pre caution, I rode towards them. Contrary to my expectation, they both winded me and started off. The wind was blowing freshly towards them, and the sun had thrown my shadow between them, so as to draw their attention. They did not run, however, as if badly scared; on the contrary, they went off apparently indig nant at being disturbed in their fight, and every now and then both came round with short turriipgs, snorted, and struck the prairie with-their hoofs In a violent and angry manner. Once or twice I fan citd they were going to charge back upon me; ami had 1 been otherwise than well mounted I should have been very chary of risking such an encounter. A more formidable pair of antagonists, as far as appearances went, could not have been well conceived. Their huge size, their shaggy fronts and fierce glaring eyeballs gave them a wild ami malicious-seeming, which was heightened by their bellowing, and the threatening attitudes in which they continually placed themselves. Feeling quite safe in my saddle, J gal loped up tirthe nearest, and sent my bul let into his ribs. It did the work. JTe fell to his knees —rose again—spread out his legs, as if to prevent a second fall— rocked from side to side like n cradle— again came to his knees; and, after re maining in tills position for some min utes, with the blond running from his nostrils, rolled quietly over ou his shoul der, ami lay dead. I had watched these manoeuvres with Interest, and permitted the second bull to make his escape—a side glance had shown me the latter disappearing over the crest of the swell. I did not care to follow him, as my horse was somewhat jaded, and 1 know it would cost mo a sharp gal dop to come up with him again; sol thought no more of him at the time, but .alighted and prepared to deal with the one already slain. There stood a solitary tree-near the spot—it was a stunted elm. There were others on the prairie, lint t hey were distant; this one was not twenty yards from the carcass. X led my horse up to it, and taking the trail-rope from the horn of the saddle, made one end fast to the bit ring and the other to the tree. X then went back, drew my knife, and pro ceeded to cut the buffalo. I had hardly wetted my blade when a noise from behind caused me to leap to an upright attitude and look round. At the. first glance I comprehended all. A huge,dark object was passing the crest of the ridge, and rushing down the hill to wards the.spot whore I stood. It was a buffalo bull—tho same that had just lelt me. The sight, at first thought, rather pleased me than otherwise. Although I did not.wantany more, Ishould have the triumph of carrying two tongues instead of one to the camp. I therefore hurried ly sheathed my knife and laid hold of my rifle, which, according to custom, i had taken tho precaution to re-load. I hesi tated n moment whether to run to my horse and mount him, or fire from whore T stood; that question, however, was set tled by tho buffalo. The tree and the horse were to one side of the direction in which he was running, but, being at tracted by the loud snorting of the latter, which had begun to pitoli and plunge vi olently, and deeming it perhaps a chal lenge, he suddenly swerved from Ins Course, and ran full tilt upon (lie hor.-o. — The latter shot out instantly to the full length of the trail-rope—a heavy, 1 * pluck 1 ’ sounded in my ears, and the next instant I saw my horse part from tho tree and scour off over the prairie as if there had been a thistle under his tail. I had knot ted: tho rope negligently upon the bit ring, and the knot bad coma undone. I was chagrined, but not alarmed yet. My horse would no doubt follow hack ins own trail, and at the worst I should only have to walk to the camp. I should have the satisfaction of punishing the buffalo for the trick he had served mo ; and with this design I turned towards*hini. I saw that he had not followed the horse, but was again heading himself in my direc tion. Now, for tho first time, it occurred to me that I was in somethingofapcrapo. The bull was coining furiously on. .Should my shot miss, or even..should it only wound him, how was I to escape ? 1 knew that he could overtake mein three min utes’ stretch—'T knew it well. I had not much time for reflection—not a moment, in flict; the infuriated animal was within ten paces of me J raised my rifle, aimed at ins fore-shoulder, and fired, I saw that I had hit him; but, to my dis may, he neither foil nor stumbled, but continued to charge forward more furi ously than ever. To reload wits ini possi ble. My pistols had gone off with my horse aud holsters. liven to rcacli (lie tree was impossible ; the bull was between it and me. flight in the opposite direc tion was the only thing that bold out the prospect of five minutes’ safety ; f turn ed and ran. I can run as fast as most ■men, and upon that occasion I did my best. It would have put Gildcrslccvc in to a white sweat to have distanced me: but I had not been two minutes at it when I felt conscious that the .buffalo gained upon me, and wiis almost tread ing upon my heels. I knew it only by my ears —I dared not spare time to look back. At this moment, an object appeared be fore me, that promised, one way or an other, to .interrupt the chase, it was a ditch or gully that intersected my path at rightangies. Itwassevcral feet in depth, dry bottom, and with perpendicular sides. I was almost upon its hedge before I no ticed it; but the moment it came under my eye, I saw that it offered the means of a temporary safety at least. If I could only leap this gully, i feltsalisfled that the buffalo could nut. It was a sharp leap— at least fifteen feet from cheek to cheek : but I had done more than that-in niy time; and, without halting in my gait, 1 ran forward to the edge, and sprang over. I now ascertained how near my end I had been : the bull was already up to the gul ly. Had I not made a leap at the moment I did, I should hare been by that time dancing upon his horns. He himself had balked at the leap—the deep, ehasmlike cleft had cowed him. He saw that ho could not clear it, and now stood upon the opposite bank with head lowered, and spread nostrils, his tail lashing his smooth flanks, while his glaring black eyes expressed the full measure of his baffled rage. I remarked that my shot had taken effect in his shoulder, as the blood trickled torn his long hair. I had almost begun to congratulate myself on hiving escaped, when a hurried glance to the right, and another to the left, cut short my happiness. I saw that on both sides, at a distance of less than fifty pa ces, the gplly shallowed out into the plain, whefe.it ended ; at either end, it was, of course, passable. The bull ob served this almost at the same time as myself, and, suddenly turning away from the brink, he ran along the edge of the chasm, evidently with the intention of ■ turning it. In less than a minute’s time, we were once more, on the same side, and my situation appeared as terrible as ever; but, stepping back for a short run, I re-leaped the chasm, and wo again stood on opposite sides. During all these manoouvors I held on to my rifle ; and seeing now that linight have time to reload it, X commenced feel ing for my powder-horn. To my aston ishment, I could not lay my hands upon it. I looked down to my breast for the sling—it was not there; belt and bullet pouch, too,—all were gone! I remember ed lifting them over my head, when I set about cutting the dead bull. They were lying by the carcass. . This discovery was a new source of chagrin; but for negli gence, I could now have mastered my an tagonist. Toreachthoammunition would bo impossible—l should be overtaken be fore I got half-way to it. I was not allowed much time to indulge in my regrets; the bull had again turned the ditch, and was once more upon the same side with me, and I was compelled to take another leap. I really do not remembur how often I sprang backwards and forwards across that chasm—l should think a score of dmes at least: I became wearied with the xerciso. The leap was just ns much as I Y0L.,53.—N0. IT. could do ul. my best; and as I'was grow ing weaker at each fresh spring, I became satisfied (hat 1 should soon leap short, and crush myself against the stoop rocky sides of the. chasm. Should I fall to the bottom, my pursuer could easily reach me by entering at either end, and't began to dread such a finale. The vengeful brute showed no symptoms of retiring—on the contrary, the numerous disappointments' seemed only to render him more deter mined in his resentment. An idea now suggested itself to my mind. I had looked all round to see if there might iijpt be something that offered a better security. There wore trees, hut they wore distant, the only one near was that to which ray horse had been tied.— It was a small one, and, like all of its species, (it was a cotton-wood,) there were no branches near the root. I knew that I could clamber up it 'by embracing' the trunk, which was not over ten inches in diameter, t’ould I only succeed in reach ing it, it would at least shelter mo better than the ditch, of which I was getting heartily tired. But the question was, could 1 reach it before the bull? It was about three hundred yards off. By prop er mamouvoring, I should have a start of fifty. liven with that, it would be a “ close shaveand it proved so. I ar rived at the tree, and sprang up it like a mountebank; hut the hot breath of the buffalo steamed after mo as I ascended, and the concussion of his heavy skull against the trunk almost shook mo back upon his horns. After a severe effort, I, succeeded in lodging myself among the brandies. I was now safe 'from all immediate danger, but how was the affair to end ?'T knew from the experience of others that my enemy might stay for hours by the tree—perhaps for days. Hours would be enough. I could not stand it. 1 hunger ed, but a worse appetite tortured me; thirst. The hotsun.the dust, the violent exercise of the past hour, all contributed to make me thirsty. Even then I would have risked life for a draught of water.— What would it come to should T not be relieved ? I had but one hope—Unit my companions would come to my relief; but I knew that that would not bo before morning. They would miss me of course. I’orhaps my horse would return to camp —that would not be before night had fal len. In the darkness, they could not fol low my trail. Could they do so in the light? This last question, which 1 had put myself, startled me. I was Just in a condition to look upon the dark’ side of everything, and it now occurred to mo that they might not bo able to find mo! There wore many possibilities that they migiit.not. There wore numerous horae trails on the prario, whore Indiana had passed. 1 saw this when tracking the bnllidn. liesidcs, it might rain in the night, and obliterate them nil—my own with the rest. They were not likely to find mo by chance. A circle of ton miles diameter is a large tract. It was a rolling prairie, full of inequalities, ridges with valleys betwe.cn. The tree upon which I was perched stood in the bottom of one of the valleys—it could not be seen from any point over throe hundred yardsdistant.— Those searching for mo might pass within hail, without pereeiviiigcitherthe tree or the valley. , 1 remained fora long time busied with kneh gloomy thoughts and forebodings. Night was coming on, but the fierce and obstinate brute showed no disposition lo raise the siege. Tie remained watchful as ever, walking round ami round at in tervals, lashing his fail, ami uttering that snorting sound sowell known (otheprai rie-hmdoiv and which so much resembles the snorting of hogs when suddenly al armed. While.walcl liny his various iiianoeuvers, tin object on (he ground attracted my .at tention— it was the trail-rope loft by iny horse?; One end of it was fastened round tho trunk by ;i firm knot—the other Iny fur out upon the prairie, where it had been dragged. My attention hail been drawn to it by tho bull himself, which in’-cros sing hail noticed, and now and then paw ed it with his hoofs. All at once a bright idea Hashed upon mo—a sudden hope arose within mo—a plan of escape presented itself, so feasible and possible, that I leaped in my perch as (ho thought; struck me. The first step was to get possession of the rope. This was not such an easy matter. The rope was fastened around the tree, but tho knot had slipped down the trunk and lay upon the ground. I dared not descend for it. Necessity soon suggested a plan. My “ picker”—a piece of straight wire wit h a ring-end—hung from one of my breast buttons. This X took bold of, and bemt into tho shape of a grappling-hook. I bad no cord, but my knife wn-~ still safe in its sheath ; and, drawing (his, i cut several thongs from the skin, ofniy buck skin shirt, and knotted them together un til they formed a string long enough to reach the ground. To oneend I attached tho picker; ami then letting it down, I commenced angling for the rope. After a few Iran verse drags, the hook caught the latter, and I pulled it up into the tree, taking the whole of it in until I held the loose end in my hand. The other end I permitted to remain as it was se curely knotted round the trunk, and that was just what X wanted. It was my intention to lasso the hull, and for, that' purpose.! proceeded to make a running noose 0.1 the end of the trail-rope. This! executed with groat care, and with all my skill. X could depend upon the rope; it was raw hide, and heller was never twisted; hut I know that if any tiling should chance to slip at a critical mo ment, it might cost me my life. With this knowledge,.therefore, i spliced tho eye, and made the knot as firm as pos sible, anil then the loop was reeved through, and the thing was ready. I could throw a lasso. tolerably well, hut the branches prevented me from winding it. It was necessary, therefore, to got the-animal in a certain position under the tree, which, by shouts ami oth er demonstrations, I at length succeeded in elleethiff. The moment of success had arrived. XXo stood almost directly heh w mo. The noose was shot down ! had Hie gratification to see it settle around Ins neck ; and with a quick jerk I tight ened it Tho rope ran beautifully through the eye, until both eye and loop„>wei - o buried beneath tho shaggy hair of the an imal's neck. Xt embraced his throat in the right place, and I felt confident it would hold. The moment the bull felt (.lie jerk upon his throat, he clashed madly out from the tree, and then commenced runningaround it. Contrary to my intention the rope had slipped from ray hands at the first drag upon it. My position was rather an unsteady one, for the branches were slen der, ami I could not manage matters .as well as I could have wished. But now I felt confident enough. The bull was tethered, and it only remained for me to get out beyond the length of his tether, and take to my heels. My gun lay one side, near the tree, whore I had dropped it in my race ; tills, of course, I meant to carry oil' with me. 1 wailed, therefore, until the animal, in one of his circles hail got round to the opposite side, and then slipping .down the triad;, f sprang out, picked up my rille, and ran. t knew the trail-rope to ho twenty yards in length, hut I.rah one hundred at least before raa kiuga hull. I had oven thoughts of eon ; tinning on, as 1 still could not help some misgivings about the rope. The bull was one of the largest, and strongest I had ev er seen. The rope might break, the knot upon the- tree might give way, or the ADVERTISING TERMS.

Curiosi ty, however, or rather a desire to be as sured of my safety, prompted me to look around, when, to my joy, I. beheld the, huge monster stretched upon tho plain.— I could see.tho rope as taut as a bow string; and tho tongue was protruding from the animal’s Jaws, showed me that - ho was strangling himself as fast as I could . desire. ■ , At the sight, the idea of buffalo-tongue : for supper returned in all its vigor; and it now occurred to me that I should eat that very tongue, and no other.

I had the tongue from between his. teeth in a twinkling; and, proceeding to the,, bull, I finished tho operations I had com menced upon him. I was too tired to think of currying a very heavy load, so I eon tented myself with, the tongues, and slinging those over the barrel of my' rifle 1 shouldered it, and commenced groping my way- buck to tho camp.

Several who had a relish for fresh meat, galloped back to strip t.ie two bulls of the remain ing tit-bits; but before midnight all had returned, and to tho accompaniment of the hump-ribs spurting hi tho cheerful blaze, I recounted to my companions the details of my adventure. A STISOY 1IUSI1ANI). Our train rolled out from tho Union de pot in the early part of the night, bound for the North. The weather was just sullicieutly cool to make one feel agree able in goodcompany. The whistle soun ded for the station north of the Hoosier Capitol. As usual, ovciwhody “poked” their heads out to see something, if it was there. “Just married,” spoke an old lady, as she drew in her head, after satis fying woman’s curiosity, and who could see further into a mill stone than anyone else of our party. . Every one was satisfied that the old lady was correct, as they' witnessed the “ hugs and kisses” on the give and take principle, and saw the surviving relatives climbing into their country wagons.— The conductor passed the new couple to a seat, and the cars, rolled swiftly away. The first parting hiul been gone through with, and the dear old homo and the loved ones there could he seen only by the eyes of memory. The fairyouiigbridehad forsaken homo, parents and all thatwasdear to Iter youth ful heart, for the one she believed was dearer than all the world beside. The brightest pictures of joy and life dazzled her eyes to the sorrow and grief of the future.. An hour passed, and passengers were getting drowsy. Many began to change positions, ami, fold themselves up, cat fashion, on the seats. The conductor of the sleeping car soon came along, and passing from one scat to tiro other, ho no-' tilied them of a chance for a good rest in the rear car. At length ho came to tlio groom and brde. " Double berth in sleep ing car, you mm have it if you wish —nice bed and falling curtains,” said the con ductor. The bride blushed, dropped her eyes a, moment, and then looked into the face of her chosen. Her eyes rested upon him, and spoke mure love than one can write in two weeks. Her swelling bos om told of the heart that was struggling lo leap from its prison house, to embrace, the object of Us affection. “ What does, it cost in sleeping cal's?” asked the hus band. “ Only one dollar and a half,” an swered the conductor. The husband commenced calculating. He was in deep study. The wife felt as any other wo man would feel under the circumstances, and looked a thousand times better and sweeter than a basket full of ripe cher ries. ' Hut oh 1 tlio cuss that she had cho - sen for life. Would that some humane being had served him as a refuse pup, and drowned him when ho was llrst born, for he had not souse enough to enjoy life, and was so mean and stingy that he would not give one dollar and a half of “rag currency” to sleep with his beauti ful and loving wife the night they were married.'
