Jingo! if I don't think.Betsy Davis are some
"kin to a yaller bird, for she's about the snug
gest little . baggage at ever gin corn to a hen !
Drat it! how oderrifferons she does look-meek-er'n
a lam got me fowler nor a picked roost
er an I expect I shall have to take a reef in
the tale of my cote putty quick, for I'm engag
td. ' Ever since she slapped me in the barrel
of brine, an' I got my cloze off" me, I've been
sorter 'feared on her, and thinks I, I'll never
shin up to that critter agin, but did! i
-1 hilt back putty tite, till one night I seed a
'cademy boy a makin turky trax in the terrect
tion of old Mrs. Davis's house, an he had on
grasshopper boots. When I seed that in course
I could'nt stan' it could yon ? Jim Burrazo's
baby! if I didn't soot hum, an' get on my sat
tinet trowsers quicker'n four taps of a wood
pecker's bill. Then I had on a shurt-with ruf
fles, an' a pair of spurs what uncle Ben had
fetched from Mexico an' boots.. I didn't
have much whiskers to be sure, not mor'n aite
or ten, but I had my hare chock full of goose's
grease, an' looked jist like a bride. I feltmid
dlin' peart,1 too, an the way I did lean for
Miss Betsey's were delicious. - TVhen I got up
to the fence, an unmerciful dog came a kirn'
after ma, an' if I hadn't, ha' got up on the
gate-post, putty mill dam quick, he'd a bit
a beef-statke out o' my leg, surc's a injin.
'Git couf, you bominable cuss! sesl, an'he
run into a barrel an' hollered.' In the impulse
of the moment, I shot in the house ; the old
woman and Betsey was thar. . I thought they
was gwine to bed, for I seed Betsey's gown an'
night-cap a hangin , on the cheer . back, an'
their old torn cat cum an' smelt of my boots
he tbo't they was meat. But I didn't see no
'cademy boy around, an' I felt uncommon slick.
The old lady looked dreadful wild at me, and
sed, how's the babies V an groaned shocking
an' Betsey turned redder'n a rooster's gills.
That made me kinder fainty, so I ups an' sets
on the cheer where Betsey's night gown were
a hangin, and went to wistlin'. See the old
woman Do you know the news V , '
Ses I, 'Old Miss Fairbank's house got a fire
last nite, an' she's monstrous fat, an' she run
ut with nothin on her but a but a night
gown, aa' she fetcht up amongst a flock of
geese, an' they pecked her like the d 1. -' ;
Like what V exclaimed the old woman. .
'Like little cat with creeps, ses I mity polite.
Scs the old womlin, 'Grate laws of masscy !
poor creeter, I reckon she's knit her last pair
of socks. O! me,' an' she shut her eyes an'
I swapt a buss along ov' Betsey. Thunder !
how it crack't, and the- old woman hollered ! "
'Mercy met the cat's lappin' the milk. . Shew,
kaUyou varmint, an she flung her shoe to'
ards the knbboard. Betsey laffed, and snick
ered an' stuck. her little hand out, an' pinched
my trowsers and then ses she- :-.- i ;
'What does thatere truck cost you a yard?'
Ses I sorter soft, "Get eout '' an stneky

'do let me be! " Ses I, I aint tctchin' ye.'
Ses Bhe, ain't yon going to V. ' V: "'
Lord!' ses I to myself, 'ain't, that nice.'
So I told the old lady to look up the chim
ney, for I smelt fire. When she did look by
gosh! what a smack that gal got, and my cheer
sorter tilted, an' I happened to look down to'
ards the floor, to ketch myself from fallen,
when hush I were stuck up m a heap. It
there waren't a hole in my. trowsers, an a
great piece of shirt a hanging out like a play.
Be darned! if I didn't drap my hand quicker!
an' then took t'other hand an' sorter shoves it
in like a cat creepin' into a piece of stovepipe.
Sop and molasses! but I were mity scared, an'
swet drapt off of me, for Betsey was kinder
sbyin' her eye, an' a snickerin' awful, while I
was a sittcn on a pin. The old woman won
dered what 'pon yarth alcd her darter, when
Betsey up an' wliooied like a stunned dog. I
swan to man, if I could bare that, so I hop
ped up like a bed wench an' ses I . r - ? '
I guess I'll go now, fur there's an old cow
out door's a hollcrin' fur me. Good nite.' .,.
'Good nite,' says Betsey, a gigglin', and I
dodged out of that door quicker than a swal-
ler bird can dodge a stone, an' then I lissen-
en to the winder to here what they'd say.
Pooty soon the old woman ses . . .
Betsey, what is you snickerin' at V
'Nothin',' scs, Betsey.
Why don't you stop, then V" 5 . : '
'Cause I can't,' ses Betsey.
'Then why don't you fix yourself for bed?'
'He ! he !', ses Betsey, 'Ned dlbro has har
ried off my night-goven, an 1 can't !' -
I've seen little bob-tailed dogs afore now run
like chain lightning, with apiece of stovepipe
tied fast to the stump of their extreme end,
but Jehu ! you orter seen me leave Betsey Da
vis's house. The way I tilted over fences an'
things, would have skeered the telegraph. But
I kep' that 'ere night gown. By darn! it's the
greatest curiosity this side of Japan. I never
went to sea but I went to see that ere gal, tho,
a good mess of times arter that time, an' lamt
the difference 'tween courtin' an' hookin' a
gal's night gown. Now, wan't it comikal?
As IsGExiors RoGre. The .following de
tails of a piece of roguery, lately practised in
Paris, surpasses, in inginuity. and wit, any
thing recorded in the annals of the living: ?
An individual, well dressed, presented him
self at the shop of a female who sold ready
made linen, in one of the retired parts of Par
is, and observed to her that she appeared to
keep a large assortment of gentlemen's shirts.
"Oh, yes; she had them of all descriptions,
and very cheap."
"Pray, madam,"said he, "have yon any
garments of a similar description and superior
quality for ladies? I am about to be married,
and wish to make my intended wife a present
of threedozen."
'Certainly, certainly, sir, I have some which
I am sure will suit you," and forthwith three
parcels, each containing a dozen, were ex
hibited on the counter. . t - . -
One was opened, and the stranger exam
ined it with much attention. At last ho said,
"I am afraid these are , too short;" then
seeming lost for a moment in thought at the
difficulty which presented itself to his mind of
ascertaining the precise size wanted an idea
seemed to strike him: "Madam." he . said,
"you are about the height and size of the la
dy I shall shortly marry would it be asking
too much of you to draw ' one of these over
your dress?" ; '
"Not. at all, I'll' do it with a great deal of
pleasure." . : . ,
In a minute the good woman appeared in
the shop compleatly enveloped in one, .Th$
stranger looked at her, walked round her and
stooped, apparently to draw down the garment
behind her to its full length, in doing which,
he very adroitly fastened her cloths to it with
a large pin. She, supposing his examination
finished, attempted to take it off again, when
to her astonishment, she found her cloths rose
up with it. At this moment the fellow grasped
the parcels and made off with them. The
poor woman hesitated to follow made anoth
er attempt to divest herself of the superfluous
covering, bnt, failing to do so, ran after' him.
So much time, however, was lost, and so many
boys collected about her, at the novel appear
ance she presented, that she was soon com
pelled to return to her shop, and put up with
the 10SS. ;" " " ' :c .r: :
Q" An Irishman went a fishing, and among
other things,he hauled out a large-sized turtle.
To enjoy the surprize of the servant girl, he
put it in her room. Next morning the first
that "bounced into the breakfast table was Bid
dy, with the exclamation ' , . . -. . - r i
! Be jabbers, 1 have got the devil

'Why, the bull bed bug, that -hair been eat

SF" When Rev." Mr. Burchard, the great re
viyalistj" writes a Boston correspondent, was a
youig mui, he was a hard nut. One town
meeting cansus", ,hc was pushing some motion
through, steam engine fashion, when the town
clerk;- incumbent, belonging to the oppi site
faction, arose and interrupted him wiUi- . :
' Burchard, you're making an ass of yourself !'

some moneyj was once directed to him with

not know he has any very brilliant ideas, to, hold
out in Urge capital to-datsla peopU'a eyes
'Graham" will.be pretty much what it Lat'been
the last volume, with some improvnU which
experience suggests. No number will contain leu
than 100 pages of matter, and the readers of '-Graham"
may rely with great confidence upon this
the volume shall contain
OVER TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES I
Of the very best reading matter that capital caa
command from ojiginal source, or taste select front
the vast mass of available material. 1 " - -
The aim of the editor will b to produce a pub
lication which sholl be valuable in matter, and
choice iu taste and style; and be flatter himself,
from the known tlents of hi contributor, that he
will be able to present aa many good original ar
ticles to his readers as any publication of the day.
He shall not, however, hesitate to publish, from
time to time, articles from English author, and
translations from the best German and French
writers, provided the pieces have never before ap
peared in print in this country. :: Ersay on i rap or- "
tant Political Subjects will likewise be inserted,
and criticisms on the Literature - ot' America and
the movenjeuts of the Age. The Leview Depart
ment, in which a large and liberal spirit of crit
icism will always be maintained, will b extended.
For the defence of American Diterature the editor
will always be ready ; the maintainance of a cor
rect tone in the Magazine, he will, if possible, be
still more watchful. . - - , ... -. .

FIXE STEEL TLATE IN AnDlTlOJt TO THK CHOICE-
DKSIGNS AND ESGR AVINfiS OF PEVERrX,
who will supply illustrations for the text ' ia the
body of the book. The aim of the editor will not
be so much to increase the number of his engrav
ings, as to secure for those he publishes the at
most finish the artist can give them ; for common
wood-cuts are so easily multiplied, that the most
indifferent publication may outrank in dreary dis
play the choicest periodical. . , .., k
The EdiAor docs not feel, that with Lis own Tea.-,
ders, he can increase his clai jis to respect by in
sisting on any very great superiority of -Graham'
over several similar publications, but thinks he
may safely confide in their friendship for the
Magazine, and in its past ruunagcrucnt for its pre
sent list, and sueli .increase as naturally grows out
of an extended circulation in ' a country where
renders arc multiplying so rapidly.
Of the January number the first adition will ba
"0,000 copies, and tbc editor trusts his old friends
will be so prompt iu renewing old clubs, and ex
tending the list among new unes, that the first

timately establish, as tho permanent circulation of
