Pound Master ! spare that hog ;
Touch not a singlo 'bristle ;
He roots in yard aud bog,
And scampers if you whistle.
In youth he was a pig
A lively, frisky pet ;
He wore a spotted rig,
Or else 'twas white, or jet.
His tail is kinked and curled.
In a "beau-catcher" style ;
You'd think, for all the world,
That you could sec a smile.
Play round about his nose,
(The little piggish sinner.)
And when, with instinct close,
He fought his way to dinner.
But ah I old Time its changes
Have made our pig a hog;
And now, where'er he ranges,
He's worried by a dog.
We must a warning give
To all of-swiuish race;
They cannot safely live
Where dangers fly their face
So look out, Mr. Shoats,
Or you will be impounded ;
And then, alas! your throats
Will by a knife be sounded. .
And on n butcher's hook,
In Church & Judd's will swing,
Where epicures can look,
And wonder as they sing :
"Oh! this is very hard,
To cut a pig up so ;
But then wo must have lard,
And "sausages," you know.
"And dogs arc getting tough,
And very poor, at that;
But pounded pig's the stuff
To make a sausage fat."
Oh 1 wondrous swinish race.
By Jews 'tis true you're spurned,
But now a sp-a-re r-rib-b s tc

Icvcninsc the animal was accustomed
vcrberate for half a mile or more in'cvc
r' direction. Mrs. Swisshelm says these
sounds were the shrillest, and at the same
time the most mournful she ever heard.
They might perhaps be likened to thc
scream of a woman iu an agony of terror,
The natural ferocitj of thc panther was
; at lencth so far subdued, that his fair mis-
tress sometimes ventured to stroke his
head and feel his paw, when he was in a
cood humor. On one occasion, indeed"
when he had truken his chain, aud all the
men in thc house, with the exception ,of
Mrs. Swisshelm, had fled to the barn for
'safety, she seised him by the collar as he
! took refuse in thc dining room, and held
him until ker husband took effectual
' measures to secure him. At length, how-
ever, Mrs. Swisshelm was thrown from a
carriage and so severely injured that she
was confined to her bed several weeks.
Sho says:
"When we appeared on crutches wcuin
advertently went quite near him and we
were warned by a low growl that he was
regarding us as his prey. We turned
and found him couched within five
or mx feet of us, ready to spring his
eyes green and blazing; and tho tip of his
Kail moving from side to side. Wc kept
our eyes fastened on his; there was no
one within call, and we tried to make him
remember us by talking to and naming
him.
'Tom, poor Tom!' but Tom's eye lost
none of its fire3 and thc tail kept its regu
lar motion.
Then we tried to intimidate him as wo
had often done before, by assuming a
voice of command. 'Tom, Tom! Down
Tom,' but Tom kept his hostile attitude,
and we, in doubt as to whether his chain
was long enough to reach us or strong c-
nough to resist the spring we saw he in-
fended making, kept our placc and tried
,.: 1 r x
to stare him out of countenance
After what appeared to us a long time,
trusting to thc power of the eye to keep
him still, we set our crutches, and still
speaking to him, threw ourself backward 1

Her pet Tom never showed thc same
desire to attack a man that he did to at

was in sight he would pace uack

sometimes scream with rage that he could

its backers repeatedly refused to allow the
bill to be so amended as to empower the
Legislative Assembly to establish or pro

conspirators is, to rule Slavery into thc
Territories under thc Federal Constitution,
and deny to tho Legislative Assembly a
ny power to turn it out.
They did not fail of course to put as
much slavo catching into the bill as possi
ble, viz :
"Sec. 10. And Ic it further enacted,

Good Advice.
The St. Louis Intelligencer m an article
I " the Boston riots, gives tho people of
the North the following piece of advice:
"Instead of killing U. S. officers, who
are discharging a sworn duty iu trying to
execute the laws that you hate, you would
show more sense and justice in hanging
a few of those dough-faced kuaves that
you habitually send to Congress to mako
such laws. Who is responsible for tho
so-called Nebraska perfidy?" Who but
men of the North, sent to Congress by tho
voto of Northern people? They havo
the unmcrcial majority they could easi
ly have defeated the "Nebraska perfidy."
But they did not do it. They bartered
your votes and their souls, according to
your account, to Frank Pierce, Stephen
A. Douglas and the devil."
The suggestion, coining, as it does, front
the Southern paper, may be. worthy of at
tention. One thing is certain that these
traitors should be politically gibbettcd,
and wc hope to see it done, vory effectu
ally, next fall.
