The wedding day was to be on tho mor

he will sell at very uear the Barae prices

will ever prnvo by word and dood their

in Ihe cypress swamp at tho battle of New
Orleans. My mother always cautioned
mc to be careful how I meddled with edgo
tools. I cannot go.
HI. I am rather delicate ; most havo a
fire in my chamber; couldn't live in a tent;
must have my mulled wine at ten ; besides,
what should I do for lobster salad nnd
broiled oysters ? Pray havo mo excused.
IV. When I was poor I could not re
strain my patriotism ; but somehow or oth
er it has not troubled mo much of lato.
This war lias lasted long enough. I have
married a rich wife. I cannot go.

VII. My heart in with our ffillant
tro.ips, No tonguo can tell how I long to
join tho Army. But, when I refer to the
subject my poor wife goes into h) sterins.
"Dearest Eleezer," she cries "have you
tho heart to leave your own, your dearest
Jeruiha Matilda Aone I" and over she
goos, tossing up her arms, aud kicking out
her legs, liko all possessed. It is irrcstis
tible. I give it up. I cannot go.
VIII, I have no time for it. Tho very
few hours I can spare from eating, drink
ing, smoking, and sleeping, I givo to the
fine arts. War is not ono of these. I would
be excused.
IX. I should go, were it not for my ro
ligious scruples on the subject of war.
Often, as I have been sitting all alone, in
my distillery, something within has told
ine that war was wrong probably the
workings of tho spirit I cannot go.
X.l have consulted the spirit of old Mrs
Pitcher, of Lyon, aud am assured that, if
I went, I should certainly run away and

XI. My mind is in a very unsettled state.

for secoision ; and upon every Union vic

might be tempted lo voluotrer ; but 1 can- ;

A Heminiscuxce. How the lXews of
Peaicwas Received in 1810. Yars ogo
the office of th'i old Gazette was in Hano
ver square, Boston, near tho corner of
Pearl bireet. It was a placo of resort
for news and conversation, especially in
the evening. The evening of February
15, 18I5,was cold, and at a lato hour only
Alderman Sebra aud another gentleman
were left with father Lang, the genius of
the place. The office was about being
closed, when a pilot rushed in, and stood
for a moment so entirely exhausted as to
be unable to speak.
'Ho has great news!" exclaimed Mr'
Lang.
Presently the pilot, gasping for brca'b,
whi-pered intelligibly "Peace 1 Pcaco !"
The gentlemen lost their breath ns fast
as tho pilot gained his- Directly the pilot
was able to say
"An Knglish sloop.ii below, with news
of a treaty of peace 1"
They say that Mr. Ling exclaimed in
greater words than ever he used before
and all hands rushed into Hanover square
exclaiming "Peace! Peace"
The windows flew up for families llf
cd tbcro then. No sooner wero the. in
mates sure of tho sweet sound of peaco,
than the windows begun to glow with
ol which Urockct was noled for ivliich
was, "if bo fired at tho tu'rkoy's ho would
of course sker thejdeer, aud if he fired at
tuo deer he would "skcr," the turkcys,"a3
he only had one load left ho would resort
to said strategy. Taking out a pocket
knife, ho split tho ball in half and ram
mod down one ball, and then broke off
the blade of his knifo and rammed that
also down, in tho centre of his rifle bar
rcl, and then forced the other, part of tho
ball home, ono half of tho ball now being
on ono sido of the bls'do and the other, he
(David) brought his rifle to an aim at tbe
deer, and then as quiok as a flash of gross
ed lightening he drew off andjfirod at tho
turkey's which split the limb on wbioh
the turkeys had been roosting. He hail
now done what ho wanted to do, ono half
of his bullet lodged in thu brain of the
deer, which killed him as dead as a door
nail, and the ethor half ball split tho limb
on which the turkeys had been standing,
which wont together as soon, as th ball
had traversed the limb, and caught the
turkeys by llicfect. Davy then climbed tho
trco and cut the limb off, which fell into
tho creek, going in tho creek for to drag
