TUNE — 44 Waif for the Way on," The locofoco party, boys, Are crowing nnglity fierce, Since they have nominated Their ' last man/ General Pierce. They say he'll be elected In eighteen fifty-two, And march into the White House, But that he will not do. CiioKt's—Wait till November, Wait till November, Wait till November, And they'll all turn blue. The Whigs have settled on a choice, The people do approve— Old SCOTT AND GRAHAM are the boys To make this nation move. The locos think they'll floor them, lit eighteen fifty-two, And inarch into the White House, But that tliev will not do. CHORUS —-W ait, &e. Oh. come along my gallant .boys, We'll shout a loud hurrah, As we introduce our Champion, The brave old Chippewa, The locos think they'll beat him, In eighteen fifty-two, And march into the White House, But that they cannot do. CHORUS —V. ait, Ac. Old Scott's the boy, my hearties, To bring down loco game; tie's sure to beat both Pierce and King, For W IN-FIELD is his naino. They know they cannot crush liini In eighteen fifty-two, Then he'll march into the White House, For that he's bound to do. CHORUS —Wait, Ac. llow to iiuild a Steeple. The Town Hall of Alexandria, in Vir ginia, is a spacious building, occupying, with its out building, two sides of a pub lic square, in which the city markets are held. It is ornamented with a clock and steeple, concerning the erection of which the knowing ones about town, tell the fol lowing yarn, which we tell as it was toid us. A gambler from the south, learning that the fields were ripe lor a golden harvest, dropped down upon that ctty for the pur pose of catching some pigeons. The net was spread, the liait very inviting, and the game went on gloriously for several days. Mr. Blank, whom, out of respect to his family, we shall call Mr. Smith, at last fell into the snare of the fowler ; and not being able to cope with professional villainy, false cards, loaded dice, and all other honorable means which are prac ticed by 4 men of honor,' to 4 do' a 4 pigeon' out of his money, he found himself at the end of the game smoking to the tune of §3OOO. This, as 4 a man ol honor,' he could not refuse to pay, and as whipping a black-leg was sorry satisfaction, he cast about to see what revenge the law • in such cases made and provided,' would al ford hint. It seems that among the old colony laws of Virginia, the wisdom of Old Do minion had seen fit to provide, that if any man could not show some ostensible means of obtaining a livelihood, he should be sold into servitude to prevent his being a tax on the parish. The wisdom and mercy of such a provision is not at this day to be doubted. Thus it was written, and that was the end of the matter. A pint is a pound the world round ; and to say that law is not reason is dangerous treason. Mr. Smith therefore entered a complaint against the man of fortune as one who had no ostensible means of liv ing. Dice and cards do not seem to come under that denomination in the laws of Virginia; and the gambler was accordingly condemned to be sold at public auction and outcry to the highest and best bidder. Not dreaming that any one would bid on such trash, he took it for a capital joke, and made himself quite merry. But they may laugh who win. Mr. Smith appeared on the ground and bid SIOO. The gam bler laughed and doubled it. The bidder offered S4OO ; and he rose by hundreds again. At SISOO the gambler began to feel some alarm, and was anxious to know 4 what possible advantage it could be to the bidder to buy HIM V 4 To tote him down to New Orleans, and trade him off for corn !' said Mr. Smith, firmly. This was not a catastrophe which the black-leg had at all anticipated, and he be gan to change his tone of banter for that of supplication. 'Mr. Smith,' said he * I pledge you my word of honor that I cannot bid another dollar. I have lost every cent I have won of you.' 4 1 have then so much the better chance to buy you,' replied the determined bid der. 4 Sixteen hundred dollars, Mr. Auc tioneer !' The gambler groaned, but was compel led to rise one hundred dollars. 4 Seventeen hundred,' said Mr. Smith. 4 Oh, Mr. Smith,' implored the other 4 how can you be so hard upon a poor fellow. Every dollar I could raise wouldn't make up that sunt.' 4 Then I will buy you !' 4 Eighteen hundred,' groaned the favor ite of fortune. 4 Two thousand,' bid the pigeon. And higher yet the siu ascends, while the gambler rose hundred by hundred, with protestations, which put to shame those of Isaac of York when stretched on the rack by the gentle King John, and re spectfully declining, on the score of ex treme poverty, to loan to his sovereign prince the gold that was concealed on (lis person. Mr. Smith finally consented to li t his victim off at $3,500, which was speedily forthcoming, and the authorities not know ing to what purpose the 4 proceeds of a white man could he lawfully applied, ad ded a steeple and bell to their Town Ilall, that all the citizens of Alexandria might be daily TOLLED the advantage of having 4 the ostensible means of an honest liveli hood.' Penalties. Punch says that the penally of buying cheap clothing, is the same as that of go ing to cheap law—the certainty of losing your suit and having to pay for it. The penalty of marrying, is a mother in-law. The penalty of remaining single, is hav ing no one 44 who cares a button" for you, as is abundantly proved by the state of your shirt. The penalty of thin shoes, is a cold. The penalty of a pretty cook, is an empty larder. i 'The penalty of stopping in Paris, is be- I ing shot. The penalty of tight boots, is corns. The penalty of having a haunch of venison sent to you, is inviting a dozen friends to come and eat it. ; The penaby of a baby, is sleepless nights. The penalty of interfering between man and man, is abuse, frequently accompanied with blows from both. The penalty ola godfather, is a silver knife, fork and spoon. The penalty of kissing a baby, is a half j a crown, five shillings, (if you are liberal.) i to the nurse. The penalty of a public dinner, is bad wine. The penalty of a legacy of fortune, is the sudden discovery of a host of poor re lation* you never dreamt of, and a number i of debts you had quite forgotten. The penalty of lending is, with a book I or an umbrella, the certain loss of it; and with a horse, the lamest chance of ever seeing him back again sound. 4 Jerome, Jerome !' screamed Mrs. But terficld, the other day, to her biggest boy, : • what is that you arc throwing to those j pigeons !' 4 Gold beads, mother and the darned fools are ealiu' 'em ; I 'sped they think its corn ! Mrs. B. ran out instantly, but her beads gvrated through the air in all directions, and the young sprout's pedal appendages llew up and down at a prodigious rate, till they were far out of sight in a neigh boring field. 4 The fire is going out, Miss Filkins.' 4 I know it Mr. Green; and if you would act wisely, you'd follow its ex am pie.' It is unnecessary to add that Mr. Green ! never axed to set up with that gal again. Poor fellow. Douglass Jerold savs 4 1 he women are all alike.

One person having asked another it he believed in appearance of spirits. 4 No,' was his reply ; 4 but I believe in disap pearance, for 1 have missed a bottle of gin i since last night.' An Irishman being in church where the j collection apparatus resembled election boxes, and on its being handed to him, whispered in the carrier's car that he was | not naturalized and could not vote. The flesh of a dog, a pig, a hippopota mus, and a man, when cooked, resemble each so closely as scarcely to be distin j gushed by the King of the Cannibal Isl lands himself.

The blast of that horn may be the signal for the porter to open the gate to death. The Hartford Courant states a new enemy to the potato, a black bug, has made its appearance in Simsbury, Conn. It is in length from one half to an inch, with a lomewhat large body, but small, slim head and neck. As seen in the vine, it appears to be striped ; its body is ash color. In that town it is confined to pieces or. or near the mountain. It strips the potatoe tops ol the leaves, taking the whole piece in succession, in some eases nearly an acre, while other pieces in the vicinity are untouched. It has appeared also in Granbury, and on the mountain. I\'eiv Series —Vol. 6—fto. 46. &&rtcultural, szc. Imperfect and Immature l-'ruit. AH fruit not fit for present or winter use. should be fed to cattle, swine, or other do mestic animals, unless us-J for cider. Most animals are remarkably fond of ap ples, especially of sweet fruit; and the hog, somewhat peculiar in his preference, is a great admirer of apples which are sweet or remarkably sour. All wind-falls are good for food for these animals, and should be gathered up and fed to them. An old farmer of my acquaintance, con siders good apples worth twenty-five cents a bushel for fattening swine; hut this is perhaps a high-estimate, and a few farm ers with us would probably pay one-half that amount for them, except under very peculiar circumstances. For my own part 1 consider them valuable, and know, from my own experience, that swine may be fattened on them as easily almost as on corn, for 1 have frequently kept my hogs on ihetn for months, and have slaughtered large animals which had been fed exclu sively on sour apples, and found the pork to be hard and good. Cooking renders them more palatable and nutritive, but whether the cost of time and fuel is not not more than sufficient to counterbalance this, 1 must leave for economists to decide. 1 would however suggest to every one who has a large orchard and no other pro fitable method of appropriating his small or refuse apples, to feed them to his swine, either cooked or in the raw state, as he may think best. Cows and sheep eat them with avidity, and half a bushel per day, with a feed of hay morning and night, will carry an animal well through the winter, and keep them in good health. Mo farmer should allow his refuse ap ples to remain unconsumed on the ground beneath the trees They are generally in habited by worms which produce the cttr culio, and ought, therefore, to be destroyed, if not used. By allowing cattle and swine to range beneath the trees, after the valua ble part of the crop has been harvested, all these infected apples will be "used up," and the evil alluded to limited in its extent the following year, in the ratio of the worms destroyed. It is an excellent plan, indeed, to keep a few swine in the orchard from the time the small fruit begins to fall till the apples are of sufficient size to render them valu able for use, ant! to turn them in again im mediately after the general harvest, if they have been removed as they sometimes are, or should be, while the fruit is ripening.— Gcrmantoivn Telegraph. Hashes. I consider August the most favorable season of the year for cutting bushes. Nothing can be more unprofitable to the farmer than the rank growth of bushes, or shrubs of any kind, in mowing arable or pasture lands, and it is well to attend to them at this time, and sec that they are cleanly cut and carefully burned. So far as mere lunar influence is concerned in imparting efficacy to the work when per formed at this season, 1 have not the slight est faith in the theory, and account for the success which almost invariably attends the operation when performed at this sen sun by supposing that, as the period of growth is, in most bushes, about consum mated for the year, the energy of the sys tem is greatly weakened preparatory to the " winter sleep," the roots do not so readily send up sprouts, as when cut at other sea sons when the vital current is more ripe, and the system in a healthy tone. At all events, whatever may the cause, bushes cut at this season are much retarded in their advancement, and rarely grow again with the same rapidity and vigor as before. If pasture lands are cleansed thoroughly at this season, by cutting and burning the bushes and small trees, the presumption is that years will transpire ere they again become infested with them, and to the same harmful extent as before. Yet, where it can be done, 1 would recommend pulling in preference to cutting. By this method every root (providing the root-pul ler be employed) may be abstracted, not a vestige of the plant left to occupy and pol lute the soil. Extracted by this imple- bushes may be drawn together in piles and burned. The ashes will af ford an excellent manure to spread over the soil, and the earth which has been disturbed by the operation, can be leveled carefully, and sowed with grass seed.— Gerfhantown Telegraph.
