I go, the dying Saviour said,
A mansion to prepare,
Thus ye, who in my footsteps trend,
May see my glory there.
And is mine ready, dearest Lord?
Aly spirit made reply;
Eager to claim the blissful word,
And dwell with God on high.
Yea, said the Lord, the mansion waits
Fast by the crystal sco,
And open wide its pearly gates,
Expectant cull of thee.
And truth, and love, and heavenly grace
Float the glad portals through;
NI) , glory fills thy ready place,
Till thou art ready too.
Ready, dear Lord, I tearful cried,
Chastened but thankful still,
Alll I not saved and sanctified
By blood that Thou didst spill?'
Dost thou not bear me day by day
Upon thy pierced heart,
And may I not, dear Lord, I pray
Be with Thee, where thou art?
Drink of my cup, the Lord agaiit
Made answer, filled for thee;
And be baptized by death and pain,
If thou would'st reign with me!
lierrceforth I bear a joyful heart
Beneath his loving rod,
Singing as earthly joys depart,
There's greater room for God.

• SHOOTING DUCKS
[A late number of Putnam's Monthly con
tains a capital paper entitled "Scenes in the
Western District," from 'which we make a
mirth-moving extract:—]
To-day, law, with even balance has
weighed out justice to our village. The
Honorable Court has been in session. It
consisted of a sleepy man, who is a turner—
not that fie belongs to any of your foreign
clans, or Turnccreins, but he makes. bobbins
in his lathe, when he is not too somnolent.
A notorious scoundrel was arraigned for
pilfering "beans, cabbages, potatoes, and
other agricultural products," from a man
less dishonest than himself by one degree.
No one, except the parties themselves, and
the learned counsel, seemed to care who
should triumph. The Honorable Justice of
the Peace was seated in a chair; while the
spectators who did not choose to set on sticks
of wood placed on end, were obliged to stand.
Two youngsters brought the milking-stools
from the barn-yard, and stationing them
selves upon each side of the Judge, sat like
priests upon their tripods. The mouth of
his honor seemed to be parched and dry, as
his attempts at spitting evinced. This did
not escape the eagle eye of the astute coun
sel for the defendant. He knew the idiosyn
crasies of the Court, and promptly offered
his Honor a plug of tobacco. Shrewd casu
ists, who trace connections between all sorts
of causes and effects, may hang a loop upon
this innocent roll of compressed leaves, and
spin a thread of sequences down to the final
decision. Of that I say nothing. The wit
nesses were called. It seemed difficult to
prove anything against the defendant, ex
cept that he had shot a couple of plaintiff's
muscovy drakes. Indeed, he confessed that.
The counsel for the plaintiff labored cam
, estly to show, that while there was strong
ground for believing that the defendant had
crept into the plaintiff's garden, and stolen
his "airly sass," ho was willing magnani
mously to waive that "pint," and ask for
justice only in the name of slaughtered
ducks. "Yer Honor," he concluded, "has
seen 'em, these 'ere ducks, a-sailin' along so
pooty and peaceful, scarcely waggin' their
tails once in three minutes, as tho' they
knowed that justice and purtection, in
. the
I form of Yer Honor, lived next door, and so
seemin' as innocent and calm as Ter Hon
or's own pure heart and conscience. And
now they're laid low; that. 'ore cannibal has
eat 'ern up. Shall sick things be allowed to
take place under our constitution? No, sir!
I know Yer Honor will slap the fines and
costs on to him, as the law
. directs; and so
I leave the case for Yer Honor's considera
tion."
The counsel for the defence briefly re
viewed the charges, and said that his oppo
nent might well try to appear magnanimous
about the "sass," for there was no shadow of
proof that his client was a man of so little
taste, as ever to wish to get, into the garden
of such a man as the plaintiff. He was not
without thought of suing for damages, on
account of the plaintiff's defamation of the
fair character by which his client bad so

SADDLE COURTSHIP

PUTNAM AS A SPY
FRO][ A RECENT ntoca_umY
Among the officers of the "Revolutionary
army, none_probably possessed more origi
nality than Gen. Putnam, who was eccentric
and fearless, blunt in Lis manners, the dar
ing soldier without the polish of a gentle
man. Ile might well be called the Marion
of the North, probably from the fact of his
lisping, which was verY apt to overthrow
any trickery he might have in view.
At this time, a stronghold called Horse
neck, some miles from• New York, was in
the hands of the British. Putnam, with a
few sturdy patriots, was lurking in the vi
cinity, bait on driving them from the place.
'Tired of lying.in ambush, the; men became
impatient and importuned the general with
a question as to when they were going, to
have a bout with the foe. One morning he
made a speech something to 'the following
effect, which.convinced.them somethingwas
in the wind.
"Fellows, you have
_been idle too long,
and so have I. I'm going_ to Bush's at
liorseneek, in an hour, with an ex team and
a load of corn. If I come back I'll let you
know the particulars; if I should not, let
them have it, by hoky."
He shortly afterwards mounted his ex:cart
dressed in the commonest order of Yankee
farmers, and was at Bush's tavern, which
was in possession of the British troops. No
sooner did the officers espy him than they
began to question him as to his whereabouts
and finding him a complete simpleton, as
they thought, they began to quiz him and
threatened to seize his corn and fodder.
"How much do you ask for your whole
concern?" asked they.
"For mercy sake, gentlemen," replied the
mock clod-hopper, with the most deplorable
look of entreaty, "only let me off, and you
shall have my hull team and load for noth
in'; and if that won't dew, I'll give you my
word I'll return to morrow, and pay you
heartily for your kindness and condeseen
sion."
"Well," saki they, "we'll . take you at
your word. Leave the town and provender
with us, and we won't require bail for your
appearance."
Putnam gave up tho team and sauntered
about for an hour or so, gaining, all•thc in-

There was a rich farmer in- coun
ty, who had four or five fine orchards of ap
ples, pears, peaches, and other fruit. Ile
had taken up amateur farming after having
been a "lamed" man, and a successful
money-making lawyer in the city. Now, he
was of a close nature, and did impart but
little of his fruits or his substance to his
friends and neighbors in the region round
about him. He would walk about with his
men in the mellow autumn-time, picking his
luscious fruits but seldom would he offer any
to the hungry passers-by, who might look
longingly upon his luscious treasure. Ire
would even with his jackknife, cut from a
half decayed peach, or apple, or pear, or
apricot, the diseased part, and put them in
a basket by themselves, that nothing might
be lost.
Now there was a plan formed by fire or
six of his neighbors' sons, whereby to make
him more generous to others of the fruitful
bounties of Nature wherewith he had been
blessed.
This was au appeal to his vanity of. vast
learning. One afternoon, while he was in
his orchard, picking apples and pears, near
the roadside, he saw live or six of his neigh
bors' boys approaching in the main road.—
They were apparently wrangling concerning
some question then at issue between them. I

One of the gentlemen who served on this
inquest held over the body of Wm. .Tdoopes,
whose sudden death we mentioned a few
weeks ago, communicates one or two inci
. dents so curious and rare, as to merit puhli
}cation. One illustrates the well known de
votion of "old dog Tray" to his master,.and
i the other is a curious circumstance relating
jto a pigeon. The deceased resided on the
Ifarm of Mr. George Roberts, in Willistown,
Chester county, and in the often-loon was
engaged in ditching at the y distance of three
hundred yards from the house. Mr. Hoopes
was a very quiet and orderly man, and his
constant companion was his dog. On• the
evening of.,kis death, about seven o'clock,
i the dog returned alone to the house, and
gave unmistakable signs of grief and dis
tress, by whining. The absence of Mr.
IHoopes, and the remarkable conduct of the
dog, created great alarm in the mother and
`daughter, and they fastened the dog in the
house and went for a neighbor to go to the
iplace where he had been working—who
soon discovered that their apprehensions
were but too well founded. It is supposed
that Mr. Hoopes died from a fit, at five
o'clock, as about that time the dog was
beard to howl, and he remained with the
body until nightfall, when he returned to
the house. The sagacious animal has given
the most unmistakable evidence that he is
conscious of the lose of a kind master.
Another ineideilt occurred on the same
evening, which in a superstitious ago, might
have been the subject of much grave specu
lation. When the jury of inquest over thii
body .was crowded around the spot where it
was found, a pigeon came and hovered over
them, and gradually fluttered down until it
brushed the hat of one of the .jurors—and_
then flew away. It was . eleven o'clock at
night, and the pigeon houses were 300 yards
distant. An incident so singular at thodead
hour, excited the comment of all present, not
to say especial wonder. We had heard
these things related, but refrained to speak
of them until well authenticated. It may
be said tho bird was attracted by the light
of the lanterns 'dimly burning,' buthow un
usual is it at such an hour to see the bird
attracted by the dim light of a candle. Su,
perstition would see in the bird,. the spirit of
the departed hovering over its tpnement.—
