Oh, come, Ac. i ' A FASHIONABLE WALTZ r : . :. , Ai Described, by Ben. Jonsing : Nothing is more common when a country gentleman of any distinction visits a city, than for his merchant to extend to him the usual courtesy of "showing turnaround." Hence du ring his visit he is lionized and taken to all the places of public amusement," that he may see the town and the manncrs and customs of society.- i. Colonel Jonsing was similarly feted du ring a late visit to a Southern Cit, where a mong other places, he visited, with his mer chant, a soiree, which he described in a letter tto his friend, the editor of the Southern Star; and as the Colonel's description of a Waltz and "Sorry," was altogether so original and unique, bis friend gave it to the public. Here it is : When we got. into the place, we found a gTeat large room, as big asv-a meetin' house, lighted up with sruashin' lamps, covered all over with glass hangings. The ladies looked as nice as little angels, their faces as white as if they dipped them in a flour barrel ; such red cheeks I haint seen in all Sleepy Hollow; their arms all covered with gold bands, chains, and shiny beads; such lipsyou never did sec they looked come-kiss-me-all-over,-- their eyes looked like diamonds ; their waists drawn to the size of a pipe stem-jand made to look like they were undergoing a regular cuttin'-in-two op eration by tyin a string tight round 'em ; and the bosims oh, lordy ! alL covered' up with laces and muslin' they rase, then fell, then rose again, like hoi I don't know what was like, exceptin' the brcathm of a snowy white goose, chucked in a tight bag with its breast'out! -r. L And the gals and younsters had walked round and round for a considerable spell, the music struck up;and such music? there was a big horn and a little horn j a big flute and a little flute, a big fiddle and alittle fiddle, and such a squea- kin', squallin!, bellowin', groanin',1 never beard before it was like all the rats, pigs and frogs in christenduiu had concluded o sing to gether. ' They called it a German' Poker. ' 'spose it was made by some of them Cincinnati Germans, in imitation of the sqneallin' at a pork packery, and I guess it was a pretty good imitation. ' - ' . So soou as the music struck up, such a sight The fellers caught the gals right around the waist with one hand, and pulled them right smack up in kissen order with the gals' bosoms agin their bosoms, and the gals'chin restin' on the fellers shoulders. At this the gills began to sorter jump and caper, like they were agoin' to push 'em away; but the fellers just caught hold of the other hand, and held it off, and be gan to jump and caper, too, just like the gals. ... I swou upon a stack of bibles yomievcr seed such a sight! There was some two dozen gals held right in the arms of them fellers they a rarin' and jumpen' anil pushen' 'em backwards over the room, (as. I thought tryin"" toget away from them,) and the fellers holdin' on to 'em, tighter ; the more the gals jumped and capered, . the tighter they squeezed the gals, till at last I began to think the thing was bein carried to too far for fun. I was. a little green in these matters, and sein' the gals a tryin' harde and harder to get away, as I thought, and the fel lers holdin' tighter, it was very natural I should take the part of the girls. So my dander kept risin' higher and higher, till I thought my biler would bust unless I fet out steam !"i pbnnced smack into the middle of the room. "Thunder and lightning! every body come here with shot guns, six-shooters and blitchef knives!" I bawled the top of my voice ; " for I will be shot if any dad blasted,long-bearded feller shall im pose on gala that arwhere I am !" and I-was going to pitch right into ' em promiscuously, when my merchant caught me by the arm, and Mid, "stop Ben." "I'll be cussed," says I," if I will see the wimmin' folks imposed onj Look what them fellers are doin' and how hard the gals are rarin' and pitchin' to get away from' 'em! Do you s'pose I can stand still as a little post and see gals so? Look,',' says, I, there's a gal almost broken down,and ready to give up to that 'rangotang of a fellerj ; Yonder is another so faint her head has fallen on the bo som of the monster!" I tell you I was ashy,I felt like I could jump into 'em likc'a cata mount into a pig-pen. ' , i i When I looked in my merchant's face I thought he would have bujjsted. He laffc .and laft, and sqnatted down and laft. - "Why, " says he, "Ben, that is nothing but the red war waltz they are dancin'"and them gals aint tryin to get away from the fellers they'are only caperin' to make the fellers hold -"em tighter; tase they like it. The more the .-ikrancr the ti-rhterthev wish tobe squeezed. As to layin' their heads on the fellers' bosoms that's very common in this city. They expect to be married ' some of these days, and they want to be accustomed to it, so they wont be a blushin' and turuin' pale when the parson tells the groom to salute the bride. There is nothin' like bein' used to such things." - "You may take my hat,"said I to my mer chant; " I was tuck in that time. I tell you though is was the first time I ever seed the like before. I have seen the Indian hug and the Congo dance, but I tell you this red war waltz knocks the crown out of everything I ever seed. After I had got out of the way and every thing commenced goin' on again, the music got fas ter and faster. Oh it was as fast and furious as a norwester The galls rared again, the fellers huged tighter, and the music-makers puffed out a blown'. Then the galls and fellers spun round like so many tops run mad. .,The fellers leaned back and the gals leaned to 'em ; the gals' frocks saLed out and popped in the air like sheets on a ciothsline of a windy day, and.the fellers coat-tails stood out so strait that an egg would not have rolled off ; their faces were as fixed and ierious a.z a garment. A rOTiad. they went it makes .! me so dizzy to think of it. Pop,vrent the coat-tails,-crash went the music, and-pitty patty, rump dumple de dump went the feet of all. . By and by, as beautiful a craft as ever you seed in the shape of a woman, laying close upon a long bean pole lookin feller, came salln' at the rate of flfteen knots an hour down ourw'ay, whilst a fair, dumpy woman and a humpshouldered beef-eaten sort of a feller, at the same speed went up the other. I seed there was to be some bumpin and naturally trembled for the consequences. Sure enough, cawhallop, they came together, arid slap-dash the whole on 'em fell flat in the middle of the floor, carryin' along with them every body standin' near. . Such mixin' up of things as then took place haint occurred before or since old father Noah unloded his great "Ark. There was legs and arms, with kids and prunellas, patteht leather and satin gaiters, shoe strings and garters. neck ribbons and guard chains, fals curls and whiskers, woman's bustles and pocket hand kerchiefs, all in a pile, the gals klckin' and squalin', and the Tellers a gruntin', and apoli- gison'. , - ; " Oh, lordy !" says I for I was considerably frustrated at this sight " stop that music, blow out the lights), or alliiands shut their eyse till these wimmin folks get unmixed." . At this, such a laugh you never heard. "Why, Col Jonsing," says my merchant, (C that is nothing, it frequently happens, and is one of the advantages of the red war waltz. Llf the gals aint learned how to mix with the world, how can they ever get along ?" " I would rather have 'em all a little mixed," says I, "but that is too much of a good thing. However, let us leave, for I seed enough of the Sorry in that pile just now to satisfy me fora week ;" and at that we bid 'em good night and left, promising to go to. the next one arid take a few lessons in the coniraoii Poker and - Shou tish dance. How I came out, may be I may tell you in another letter. Your friend, - Ben Jonsing, : ' " Of Sleepy Hollow A Lumberman Sold. A little scene occurs to me, that though oc curring long years ago, comes up, I don't know exactly how, all at once just as I want it. ", In 18-334 I was learning the f-'art and mys- terv" of ; print in r, andr occasionally in the spring and fall, taking atrip down the Susque hanna on a raft. We had in those days a tes ty, tolerably rich, and infernally mean lumber merchant, named (for this purpose) Thomas. Old Thomas was the most inquisitive curmudg eon ever allowed to walk on top-of the ground. He was bound to know what was going on eve rvwh ere public or private. No one's dwell ing was safe from his Paul Pryish intrusion, and of course he" was universally detested, tho' his money commanded a certain degree of re spect. He knew all this and made himself the more disagreeable on account of it as he said, in jolly revenge; though what he meant by "jolly" I don't know, for I never saw hiur have an honest laugh. ; . , , " .. But the old fellow's impertinence aiid curios ity was sometimes well punished. . - During the spring of 1833 there were two very high freshets, and a large amount of lum ber arks, staves,&c. were lost by'tlie sudden rising of the water. It happened that jiist at this time old Thomas had three arks loaded with shingles, waiting a rise of water. One Fred P '. a very quiet young gent, (when his. mother was by,) happened to know that T. had three shingle arks, and meeting, the old codger in a barber shop, was soon in convcrsa .tiou the flood being the all-prevailing topic, of course, as both were concerned in the river trade. , - "Great destruction below, I hear," said Fred to-j-nobody. ; , - - ; - hl . ."Eh, what?" gasped old Thomas V -V- ' "Ten or twelve rafts and three arks smashed on the head of Big Island.,' : "Good God!, Thred arks did you say!"; "Run on about 3 o'clock this morning two men known to be lost ,r- - r '' V ! ; ' "But the arks, Fred what was.in the arks2" "Four of the rafts got off pretty well, but the rest are all dead stuck as for ' the arks' they sunk at once." v . But whose arks were they?", gasped' old T. by this time half frantic for he knew nobody else had arks up in that region but him. V- "As I told you before," said Fred, with great gravity, "there were known to be two men on board one of the arks, and they are undoubtedly lost." .... : By this timeold Thomas was perfectly wild. "Fred," cried he, "for God's sake tell me, if you know, what those arks were ioadea witli." "Certainly;" said Fred, as-cool as a cucum ber. ": - . . . J . : .

Lest this scene should bo thought to be exag gerated, the journalist affirms its truth to the letter, in every particular. . ... Governor and Scarecrow. Gov D. of nomatter what State was plain, farmer-like man; in fact, aside from his political office, his profession was that of a far mer. He had an orchard behind his house to which he paid a great deal of attention. - In personal appearance the Governor was not ver3' prepossessing. He was tall and guunt and when about his work, was generally in the habit of wearing a faded dressing gown which was of exceeding length, coming nearly to his feet. It chanced one day that a gentleman fashion ably dressed, called at the governor's residence and inquired for him. He. was in quest of a certain office which lav in the Governor's gift. - : ; "He is not at home iust at present," said Mrs. D., "but if you. will come in and take a seat, no doubt he will be along soou." ! . The visitor accepted the invitation, and seat ed himself in the plain' sitling room, entered into conversation with the Governor's lady. "I 'believe," said he, "that this is consider ed a fine asricultural place. Does your hus band own much land?" ..' . , . . "Some thirty acres. He is quitoji farmer." "I caught a glimpse of an orchard just be hind the house. That I suppose belongs to him?" .. . .! - "Yes He prides himself on his orchard." "I see you find it necessary to use scare crows to frighten away the birds." : "Scarecrows?" The governor's lady was astonished. "No," said she, "we never em ploy any." "Why, I am quite sure I saw one in one of the trees, rigged up in a long, fluttering robe." "I don't think Mr. D. has put any one into the orchard. You can look from this window and perhaps you can see. the object which yon mistook." "There it is now," was the reply as he poin ted out a figure, standing on a limb of one of the trees dressed in a pair of overalls, with a faded robe fluttering in the breeze, "that's ' the scarecrow! I was sure I was not mistaken!" "That a scarecrow!" said Mrs. D., in amaze ment, "why, that's my husband!" , The victim of this embarrasing mistake had just enough voice to inquire for his hat, upon which he "immediately withdrew, thinking ,it best to defer his application for office to a more convenient season. , ' .

A peep through, oar Grandmother's Spectacles. ; It is pleasant and ever profitable in these days, when our sands of life are running with railroad speed," and we are' surrounded by the improvement of these latter days our rooms w:armedby hot air, and lighted by gas the news brought us from every part of the country in a few minutes, when even a fortnight seems along time to wait for a steamer from Europe, to look back and see the many circumstances that have combined to form our character, to trace through the ramification of families the influence of this trait and that peculiarity in forming the different . types of man, and from thence, the causes, the changes and the condi tion of the universe- Every life is as much a world in the universe of God, as the earth we inhabit, and every human event the thought or act of human agency. As we used in play to put on our grandmother's spectacles to see what more we could see than we did see, so now it is well to bring back those days, and we find it as difficult to bring back their simplicity of thought as it is to look forward and compre hend when we shall know no " time, nor space, nor distance, when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed.' Our memory brings to us a pleasant little roon?, warmed by a bright wood fire on a hearth, and lit by a tallow candle no star or sperm, but a truly tallow one, home made. On one side of the hearth sat a fair plump, kind looking old lady, with a muslin cap and kerchief of spotless white laid , over her bosom the style not uncommon in these days ; the dress, which was finish ed with a drawing string, was straight across the front, and full, which gave a roundness to the form, added to , the ; small sleeves, , narrow back and short waist, made my perfect figure of a woman of seventy. She was our grand mother, living . with us (lonely indeed seemed that home that had no grandmother) in the then distant ' West, not more than ten days' journey from the city of New York which now can be travelled in twice the number of hours. There were no railroads then, and our learned ministers had not found out they were even prophesied of no' stages, except on the road from 'Albany, west somewhere; I know not what conveyence from Albany to a lake; then a boat, with setting poles and men to keep it off the rocks, floated, or pitched, according to the rifts , or smooth deep places it passed over, until it came to its landing, in sight of the deep blue waters of Ontario. In tLis so questered spot lives manytt tender recollection of childhood, wafted there by many a wander- ei in distant climes. . . . One cold winter evening a knot of vil lage worthies were convened around the stove of a country store, in a Western town, warm ing their fingers by the stove-pipe, and telling stories and cracking jokes. The schoolmaster, the blacksmith, and the barber, and thecon-i stable, and the storekeeper, and the clerk, all were there.; ; ... ; -.,"-. ; . - Alter they had drank cider and smoked ci gars to their hearts' content, and when all the current topics of the day had been exhausted, the schoolmaster proposed a new kind of game to relieve the monotony of the evening. Each one was to propound a puzzle to his neighbors; and whoever should ask a quest ioV that he himself could not solve, was to pay the cider reckoning for, the entire part'. - The idea took at once ; and the schoolmaster,' 'by vh-fue of his office. called on Dick D whom most folks thought a fool, and a few a knave, to put the first question. ' Wal, neighbors,' sa:l Dick, drawling out his words, and looking ineffably dull and stupid, 'You've seen wherc'squirrels dig their holes, haven't you ? Can any of you tell me the rea son why they never throw out any dirt?' This was a 'poser;' and even the 'master' had to 'give it up.' , It now devolved on Dick to explain : 'The reason is,' said Dick, 'that they first be gin at the bottom of the hole!' . 'Stop ! atop !' cried the schoolmaster, startled out of all prudence by so monstrous an asser tion: 'Pjy, how does the squirrel get there?' 'An, master,' replied the cunning fool, that's a question of your own asking !' ' The result had not been anticipated. The 'schoolmaster was abroad' at that particular juncture! ; " A Lawyer's Eetaining Fee. A correspondent.Iets offthe following anec dote of Mr. Biirchard, the revival preacher, while he was at Lockport, N. Y. which is .ra ther amusing. It Was Mr. B's custom to go about the villages to enlist the wealthy and in fluential to attend his preachtng, and give eclat to his meetings. In the course of his perambulations one day, he fell in with Bob S-, an attorney of some reputation and very famous for wit and readiness tt repartee: "Good morning, Mr. S." said the revivalist, "I understand that you are one of the leading men of this town, and a lawyer of high stand ing ; I have called upon you in hopes to en gage you on the Lord's side.'.' "Thankyou," replied Bob, with an air of great sobriety, and with tho most professional manner possible ; "thank you I. should be most happy to be employed on that side of the case if I could do so consistently with my engagements, but you must go to some other counsel, as I have a standing retainer from the opposite party." The itinerant was amazed, piqued, non-plusscd and departed without further ceremony. "Doctor,", said an old lady the other day to her family physician, "kin you tell me how it is that some folks is born dumb?" "Why hem!, why certainly,. madam," repli ed the doctor, "it i owing to the. fact that they come into the world without the power of speech !" :; . '.--. ; - "La me !" remarked the old lady, ''now jtrst see what it is to have a physic edication I've axed my old man more nor a hundred times that are same thing, and all I could ever get out on him was 'kasc Ihey t'j." ' "Well I'm glad I axed you, for I never fcho'd a died satisfied without kuowin' i." . A Good Excuse. There is a society in existence which, like most other associations of the- kind, has a standing rule that all members who come late or absent themselves shall be fined a certain sum, unless they are able to give a sufficient excuse for tardiness or absence. On one oc casion a member came in after hours, and the chairman asked him his excuse, for being late. "Really sir," said he, I was not able to get here before. Domestic troubles perplexities of mind I cannot say which will die first, my wife or daughter!" v ! .. : Ah!" said the chairman, expressing much commisseration for the father and husband, I was not aware of that. Remit the fine,"- Mr. Secretary; the excuse is a good one!' - The member consequently , took his seat. The next morning another member met him, and with much feeling asked him how Ins wife and daughter were? . , . - ., . . "In excellent health,'.' replied he. , . - "How? I thought vdu said last night that you did not know which would die first?" " "I did; and am still in a quandary. Time, however, will decide the questiou." , Cotton is Kino. Charlos Dickens,. in late number of his Household IVorJ,after enumera ting the striking facts of Cotton, says: - "Let any social or physial convulsion . visit the United States, and England would feel the shock from Land's End to JohnO' Grants. The lives of nearly two million of our country men are dependant upon the cotton crops of America; their destiny may be said, witnout any sort of hyperbole, to hang upon a thread. "Should any dire calamity befall the land of cotton, a thousand of our merchant ship would rot in dock; 10,000 mills must stop their busy looms, and two million mouths would lack food to feed them." ' Wouldn't Btte. A witty clergyman had been lecturing one evening in a country village on the subject of temperance, and", as usual af ter the lecture, the pledge was passed round for signatures. . , h. -Pass it along that way, saidthe lecturer, pointing towards a gang of bloated and red nosed loafers near the door. Pass it along perhaps some of those gentleman would like to join our cause. We don't bite at a bare hook, grufil mut tered one of the rummies. - Well, replied the ready clergyman,! believe there is a kind offish called suckersthat don't bite. .'" . , A young lass who went to a camp meeting and back, full of the revival which they had, did nothing the following week or more but sing; "Shout! Shout! we're gaining ground!" She had the tune so pat, that all she said was a continuation of that song,, and not unfre quently the rhyme was too long for the tune. Old Jowler slipped in and took a bone off the table, and just as he was making for the door, she sung out "If you dou'tg(j;out I'll knock you down, , . - .
