Sleighing Song.
—"Some love to-roam."
How swift we go
Thro' the sparkling snow, •
In the moonbeam's milses_glance,
And our glad song- swells,
'While the jingling bells
Seep time with oar proud steeds' prune.);
And the hollow glen,
Sends back again,
Our laugh and glad halloo:
While the diamond spray
Flies every way,.
And the moonlight dashes thro'.
'Tis cold to-night,
But these eyes so bright,
A
_glow on the young heart shed,
- And - these lips - that - move
Tri the tones of love,
With the senile of pleasure spread ;
Then onward speed, •
While the snorting .steed
Slakes the spangles from nuine ;
We'll join in the flight
Of' the elves of - night,
And love. and delight shall reign.

The Seller Sold.
An incident recently occurred in a town on
the connecticut Riyer, which illustrates the
danger of -practical joking, and served, at the
time, its purpose of fun and railery.
A.certain barber happened in at a store. A
clerk, who wished to play the barber a trick,
offered him abuttle"of hear's oil. The latter
did not want it, but being Over urged, took it
and paid for
,it.
On his opening it, in his shop, the oil wits
found to be lamp oil, with a very rank smell.
—Nothing was. said of the shave which the
clerk had practiced, and the barber shaved
along as usual, until the matter had time •to
be forgotten. • .
A few evenings 'since, the clerk went into
the barber's shop, to be shaved, preparatory
to a ball. After the harvest . of the thick,
beat ded chin was reaped, the clerk straighten
ed himself up and exclaimed :
"Now clap on the oil."
A good handful was poured out, slapped on
and rubbed in. A second followed, but, before
it could be rubbed in, the clerk -smelt such
in'," and leaped .frein the chair as if he had
been shot, at the same time giving utterance
to Sundry expletives, coining under the cogni
zance of the statute against profane swearing.
The barber assured the enraged_ customer
that he had put bear's oil on his head, and
from the very bottle he hid sold him. If it
was poor oil it Was the clerk's fault.
There was no resisting this, and the matter
was settled by refunding the money paid' fur
the oil, and a shampooning at the clerk's ex
pense.
The clerk went to the ball, but the rank
lamp oil stuck to his. hair, and the snuffs of
•thuse who came near him, showed that the
barber was wicked when he shatupooned him.
AlonAL.—Honesty is the best policy,. and
lamp oil is by no means the best thing to make
the course of pleasure -run smooth."
A Strong Story.
A wild friend of ours (Selina Tom) told us,
the other day, the following tough► story :
Tom says he got acquainted with a very
companionable tclloty, from one of the moun
tain counties, .who happened to be in Selma on
business. This was in August last. Moun
tain Sprout was a member of the church, but a
long way from home, and having never experi
enced ictd-cocktail before; he •took on as much
as he could wag with,"—Toin aiding and abet
ting.. In due time Sprout went home, but
rumors of his potations followed him, and the
church brought him "to law" for drunkenness.
Sprout. on trial admitted that he had. while in
Selina, got a little "foxy," but then he told his
brethren the •big lumps of ice they had at the
bar were so very inviting, he couldn't help
drinking."
Thereupon an old brother got up and.said,
that for his part if the young brother had only
got drunk under the circumstances of being
away from home and falling into bad company,
he should have been in favor of forgiving him,
on his making proper acknowledgments.—
"But, brethren," he wound up, "this matter
is worse than drinking. It's downright lying !
Did you hear what brother Sprout said about
ice, and in August ? I'm for jerking him out
for lying !" and out he went. M
(Ma.) Mail.
A Funeral Sermon.
Parson S—, a rather eccentric character,
was called upon to "preach the funeral" of a
hard case named Rann, which he did, iu the
following unique style :
—My beloved brethern and sisters, if our be
loved Brother Kann would a wanted somebody
to come here and tell lies about him, and make
hint out a better man than he was, he wouldn't
have chose the to preach his funeral.
'No, my brethern, he wanted to be held up
as a 'burning and a shining light,' to warn
you from the error of your ways. He kept
horses, and he run'd 'em : he kept chickens,
and he fou't Our dear departed brother
had many warnin's, brethren. The first warn
in' was that he broke his leg, but he still went
on in the error of his ways. The second
warnin' was when his son Pete hung himself
in jati ; and the last and greatest warnin' of all
was when he died himself !"
The pr 7 acher enlarged on these topics, until
he sank Rann so low that his hearers began to
doubt whether he would succeed in getting him
op again, and, as is usual in “funerals," land
ing him hale in Abraham's bosom. This was
the of juct of the second part of the sermon,
which started‘off the% :
••ly brethern, there'll be great rneracles,
greui met acles in heaven. And the first ruera
de will be, that many you expect to find there
you %von't see there. The people that go
round with long faces, utakire longprayers,
won't he there ; and the second tner;cle
that. many you don't expect to find there—as
per haps :)otne won't expect to find our dear de
parted brother Kann—you'll see there ; and
the last and greatest tneracle will be, to find
yourselves there."

Test of Abolitionism.
All is not gold that shines, and etc:loudest
mouthed philanthropists And reformers soine
times cave in When P9t to a severe practical
test like the following :
t a brother-in-law. said. nose Parkins,
who was. one of the ravenest maddest. re, est
hottest abolitionists you ever see. I liked the
pesky
hottest_
well enough, and should have
been very glad to see,him cum to spend a day,
fetchin' my sister to see me and, my wife, if he
hadn't 'lowed his tongue to run' so 'bout nig
gets and the equality of the races, and the du
tyof overthrowing the Constitution of the
United States, and a lot of Other - things, some
of which made me mad, and - the best part of
'em right sick. - I puzzled my brains a good
deal to think how I could make hint abet up
di - iiorsy head %but - abolition. --
Wall, one time, when brOther-in-law come
ever to stay, an idea struck me: I hired a
nigger to help me 'haying time. lie was the
biggest, strongest, greasiest nigger you- ever
seed.. Black ! hewas bleaker than a stack of
black cats, and jest as . shiney as'-a' new beaver
hat. I spoke to him. "Jake'," sez I, "when
you hear the breakfast belt ring, don't yon say.
a word, but yon come into the parlor and sit
right down among the folks and oat your break
fast." The nigger's eyes stuck out of his head
about a feet.! "You're jokin', truism," sez he.
"Jokin'!" sez I. "I'm sober as a deacon."
"But," sez he, "I shan't have time to wash
myself, and. change my shirt." "So much the
better," sez I. Wall, breakfast come, so did
Jake, and he sot down 'long side my brother
in-law. stared, but he didn't say a word;
—There warn'[ no mistake about it. Shut
your eyes and you'd know it—for he was !odd,
tell you. 'There was a - lirst-rate chance to
talk abolitionism, but brother-in-law never
opened his head.
"Jake," sez I, "you he on hand at dinner
time," and he was. Ile had been workin' in
the inedder all the forenoon—it was hot as
hickory and bilin'. pitch—and—but I leave the
rest to your imagination.
Wa 11—in" the afternoon —hrother-i n-law come
up to me, madder than a short-tailed bull in
hornet time.
"Mdse," see he, .'r want to speak to you."
"Sing it out," sez I.
"I havn't but few words to say," sez he,
"but if that 'ere c , nifounded nigger coineS, to
the table egiii While I'm' stoppite here, I'll
clear out.'
Jake ate his supper that night in the kitch
en,. but from that day to this. I never heard
my brother-in-late open his head about aboli
tionism. When the fugitive slave bill was
passed, I thought he'd let out some, but he
did'at,fio. he know's! Mat Joke was still work

A Rough Bedfellow.
There is good story going the rounds of
the papeis. told of a ina o in Arkansas, wh
had been drinkfng till a late hour at night . , and
then startol for home in a state of sweet oblivi
ousness. Upon reaching his own premises, he
was too far gone to discover Roy door to the,
domicil he teas about- to inhabit: . and there
fore laid himself down in a-shed which was-a ,
favorite rendezV.ous for the hogs. They hap;
petted to'be out when the new-comer arrived,
but soon returned to their bed. The weather
being rather cold. they, in the utmost.kinduess,
and with the truest hospitality.gave their biped
companion the middle of the bed, sonic lying
on either side of him, and others acting the
part of quilt." Their warmth prevented him
from being. inquired by. exposure. Towards
morninf , c' lie awoke.. Finding himself comforta-.
ble, in blissful ignorance of his whereabouts,
he sup posed himself enjoying the accomnioda
tion of a tavern in company with other gentle
men. Ile reached out his hand, and catching
hold of the star bristles of a hog. exclaimed :
"Hallo, my good friend, you've got a of a
beard ! When did you. shave last ?"
( -- "Quillip" told a good story of a man on a
Mississippi. steamer, who was questioned by a
Yankee. The gentleman, to humor the fellow,
answered all his questions straight-forwardly,
until the down-easter was fairly puzzled for an
interrogatory. At last he enquired--
"Look here, squire, where was you born ?"
"I was born,' said the victim, "in Boston,
Tremont street, No. 4-1, on' the kst day of Au
gust, 1825, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon."
Yankee was answered completely. For an
instant he was struck. Soon, however, his
face brightened, and he quickly said—
" Vat's ; wal, I calc'late yeou don't recollect
whether it was a frame house or a brick house,
dew yeou ?"
(1:7•A Down-east paper gives • the Maine
liquor law a thrust after the following fashion.

a hotel, and asked 'for some spirits. s •
"Stranger," said the landlord, "you forget,
I guess, you're in the State of Maine. We've
no spirits here, but we have

The lmonade was acceded to, brought and
tasted. The lemonade was half whisky and
water. .
'This is rather powerful lemonade," said
our friend.
"Why, yes it is," said the landlord; "but you
see, stranger, the weather is hot, and to keep
our lemonade, we are obliged to make it cruel
