Lines respectfully addressed to Miss' Pedford, a
teacher in one of the public schools of Philadelphia.

Roman! spare that boob, ,
Keep off thy bloody hand, ; .
-. There's danger in thy look, .
I And life is thy demand. -....
, Touch not that sacred page, -.-There's
hatred in thine eye! .
Ah, Roman ! cease thy rage, ,
, ... I'll keep this book or die! ' .
That good old bock I love,
'' ' ' It bids my sorrows cease;
It loads to joys above.
And gives the mourner peace.
It is the orphan's stay.
And hotib the widow's heart.

" ' With tins I'll never part.' '."" ? j
Behold these tender youth,
Whom Jesus diad jo suve !
I'll teach them hers his truth,
Or il a martyr's grave!
The cri;nes ere ne'er forgot,
The deeds of thee and thine,
Go. Ilomau! touch it not,
- That holy Look is mine!
. -- Reman! spare that book, -Oar
fathers long ago,
Thy idav ish creeds forsook, -
Iti preeious truths to know.
Their children now are freo
from error's galling chain;
- Go, Reman! let it be,
That book shall here remain! i
Give np that book to thee,
And rob my sonl of God? " ,
To Papists bend my knee.
And kis3 the tyrant's rob ?
"Never! while I have breath,
To raise my feeble hand.
I'll tread the freeman's path,
In this my native land !

... ET SAM SLICK.
"VTell, wo danced and Lurrwed without any
thing of particular interest to happen till about
three o'clock, when the darndest muss was
kicked up you ever did see. Jim Smith sot
down alongside Bet Ilolden (the steel-trap gal)
and just give her a bug, "bar fashion. She took
it very kind till the seed Sam Henry a lookiri'
oa from belaud about a dozen of gals then
she fell to kickin and a LoIIerin', and a
eefcreenin like fill wrath. Sam, ho come up
and told Jim to let Bet go. Jim told him to
go to a fur-on" country whar they give away
brimstone and throw in the fire to burn it.
Sara hit him stratc atween the eyes, and after
a few licks the flghtin' started. Oh, hush ! It
makes my mouth water now to think what a
beautiful row wo had. One fellow from Ca
"dy's Cove knocked a hole in the bottom of a
fry in' pan, over Dan Tucker's head, and left
it'hrogin' round Lis neck, the handle flying
ibout like a long quieue, and thar it hung till
Jake Tburman cut it off with a cold chisel
next day. Thut was his share for that night,
sure. . Another feller got knocked into a meal
barrel ; he was as mealy as an Irish tater and
as hot as a. horse-radish; when he busted the
hoops and came out he rared a few. Two fel
lers tit cnt of the door, down the hill, into the
creek, and there ended it in a quiet way, all
alone. A perfect mule, from Stock Creek, hit
iao a wipo with a pair o' windin' blades; he
made kindliu' wood of them, and I lit on him.
We had it head and tails for a very long time,
ail ovep the house, but if the truth must he
told, and shame my kin, he warped me nice;
just to save his time I hollered. The lickin'
he gave me made me sorter uneasy and hostile
like; it wakened My wolf wide awake. The
little fiddler came a scrougin' past, hohiin his
fiddle up over his head to keep it in tun?, f-yr
the figLtin' 'was gettiu' tolerable brisk. Vou
are th? nne, thinks I, and I just gcaVoed t!;e
doush-tray and split it plump over his head !
He rotted down right thar, and I raddled his
tether end with one of the pieces! While I
was a nollyfyin' my feelings in that way, his
gil .slipped up behind me and fetched me a
rake with the pot -hooks. Jule Sawyer was
thar, fcnd jiit onnestd to her right oif, and a
mighty nice light it was. Jule striped and
checked her f-ce nice, like a partridge net
hang oiFa white fence. She hollered lor her
fiddler, but oh, pshaw! he couldn't do her a
bit of good; he was too busy rubbin' first his
broken head and then his blistered extremi
ties ; so when 1 thought Jule had given her a
plenty, I pulled her o3, and put her in a good
humor by given' her soft sawder. -Well, I
thought at first if I had a dtink I'd be about
done ; so I started for the creek, and the first
thing I saw was more star3 with my eyes shut
than I ever did with them open. I looked
around, aud it was the little Sddlor's big bro
ther! I knowed what it meant, so we locked
horns without a word, thar all alone, and I do
think we fit an hour. At last some of the fel
lers hearn the jolts at the house, and they cum
and dug r.s out, for wc had Ct into a hole
where a big pine stump had burnt ont, and
there we was, to our girths, a peggin'
away, face to f.ca, and no dodgin'.
. BEAtTirri. Ex.iba.ct. "i hen the summer of
youth is slowly wasting away into the night
fall of age, and the shadow of the past years
grow det per and deeper, and life wears to its
close, it is pleasant to look back, through the
vista of time upon the sorrows and felicities
of our earlier years. If we have a home to
shelter, and hearts to rejoice with us, and
friends have been gathered together around
onr firesides, then the rough place of our way
faring will have been worn and smoothed
away, ja the twilight of life, while the sunny
spots we have passed through, will grow bright-
er and more, beautiful. Happy, indeed, are,
they whose intei course with the world has not
changed the tone of their holier feelings, or
broken those musical chords of the heart,
whose vibrations are so melodious, so tender
and touching in the evening of age.
' One of 'Pikes' noblemen intends apply

Smith, in his recently published 'The
atrical Journey work5 by the way, an exceed
ingly interesting and amusing volume, as ex
hibiting the early struggles of tho drama in
the west and south-west relates the following
odd occurrence during his peregrinations in
Georgia: -
'Between Caleba Swamp and Line Creek, in
the 'Nation,5 wc saw a considerable crowd
gathered near a drinking house, most of them
seated and smoking.' We stopped to see' what
was the matter. It was Sunday, and there
had been a quarter race for a gallon of whis
key. The first thing I noticed on alighting,
was the singular position of one of the horses
of the party. lie was kneeling down and stan
ding on his hinder feet, his head wedged in
between the ends of two logs of the grocery,
and he was stone dead, having evidently run
directly against the building at full speed,
causing the house partially to fall. About five
paces from thehorse lay the rider, quite sense
less, with a gash in his throat which might
have let out a thousand lives. As I said, most
of the crowd were seated and smoking.
-. What is all this V I inquired. 'What is the
matter here?! .
'Matter?5 after a while answered one, in a
drawling voice, giving a good spit, and refill
ing his month with a new cud. Olatter enough;
there's been a quarter race.5
'But how come this-man and horse killed?'
I asked. '
'Well,5 answered the chewing and spitting
gentleman, 'the man was considerbly in liquor,
I reckon, and he run his boss chuck again the
house, and that's the whole on it.5 : -
'Has a doctor been sent for?5 inquired one
of out party. '' . .
I reckon there ain't much use of doctors
nERi:,' replied another of the crowd.- 'Burnt
brandy couldn't save either of 5em manorhoss.'
'Has this man a wife and children?' inqui
red I.
Xo children, that I knows on,5 answered a
female, who was sitting on the ground a short
distance from the dead man, smoking compo
sedly. 'He has a wife, then ?5 1 remarked. 'What
will be her feelings when she learns the fatal
termination of this most unfortunate race4.5
'Yes,' sighed the femnlc 'it u-as an unfor
tunate race. Poor man, he lost the whiskey.'
Do you happen to know his wife? has she
been informed of the untimely death of her
husband?5 were my next inquiries.
'Do I know her? lias she been informed cf
his death?5 said the woman. Well, I reckon
you ain't acquainted about these parts. ' 7am
the unfortunate widdtr.5 , ,
' You, madam ! You the wife of this man who
has been so untimely cut off?' I exclaimed, in
astonishment. , - ?
Yc3, and what about it V said she. 'Un
timely cut ofi'?'' His throat's cut, that's afl,
by that 'tarnal sharp end cf a log; and as for
it5s being untimely, I don't know but it's as
well new as any time he isarn't of much ac
count, no ho'x !
She resumed her smoking, and we resumed
our journey.
HAVE YOU GOT ANY If AILS!
A tall, gawky-looking countryman, during
the height of the business season last fall,'
walked into one of the largest wholesale dry
goods houses on Broadway, and entirely dis
regarding the invitations of the numerous
salesmen to inspect their latest .patterns, he
strode into the counting room, where the
heads cf the establishment were sitting in
solemn conclave. After taking a cursory
glance of the room, and surveying attentively
the f-ices of its occupants, he asked with an
unctuous Yankee nassal twang:
'Say, ycou got any nails?'
" 'Nails, sir! nails." repeated the most digni
fied Dcnibey of the lot, 'No, sir, what should
we do with njils?5-
'Wal, I dunno thought maybe you might.
Haiut got no nails, eh?5
'No, sir,5 replied Dorubey again, with an
emphasis, and pointing to the door.
The individual in search of nails took his
time about it, but left the counting room. In
turn he asked eveo clerk the same question,
and received the information from all, that
'nails' formed, no part of the stock of the
establishment.
'Weli,' said he, going towards the door,
'donrt keep nails here nohow ?5
The principal, salesman, whose dignity was
hurt by the idea that any one should suppose
that an establishment where he held a promi
nent place, should keep nails, headed the
countryman ofi' as he was proceeding towards
the entrance, and asked him abruptly what he
wanted there.
Want,' said the countryman, as cool as a
cucumber, 'I want to knsw il you've got any
nails V
'Nails, no, sir. You've been told again and
again that we've got no nails so you'd better
go.' -
'Yaas but you really ain't got no nails?'
'No, sir, I've "got no nails,' thundered the
principal salesman.
'Aint got no nails, eh ? Well, then, jist look
a' here, Mister, if you ain't got no Dails, uhat
an cur ful fix you'd been in if ycu'd happen to
have Hie itch ! "
The countryman opened the door, dodgpd
the boot with a foot in it aimed at the seat of
his pantaloons, and left the principal salesman
and all his satellites to the knowledge of the
fact, that for once instead of selling they had
all been sold.
Ay Aixeoort A humming bird met a but
terfly, and being pleased with tho beauty of its
wings made an otter of perpetual friendship.
'I cannot thins of it,' wasth j reply, 'as you
spurned me and called me a crawling doit.'
'Impossible !' exclaimed the humming-bird; I
always entertained the highest respect forscch
beautiful creatures as you.' 'Perhaps you do
now said the other, 'but you insulted me when"
a caterpillar. So let me give you a bit of ad
