II AYE YOU SEEN SAM.
I floated down the river.
On the schooner Polly Ann;
I landed at York Island,
A very verdant man ;
I ratherd up my baggage,
In a shocking crowd and ran ;
When a felhjw jump'd before tne,
Saying, " have yon seen Sam?"
I don't know Sam,
t don't know Sam ;
Confound this noise and bother,
I don't know Sam.
I thought the fellow crazy,
And-fled before the wind '
The Astor rose before me,
My coat tail stream'd behind;
Soon up the steps I scrambled,
And shouted, "here I am
Another fellow tapp'd me,
And ask'd, 44 have you seen Sam V
I don't know Sam, Ac.
I then went straight to Barnnm's,
To see the mighty show ;
The Shanghais and the Babies,
How loudly they did crow !
I stood and gaz'd about me,
To see if 'twas a sham ;
I emooth'd the bearded lady's cheek.
She aigh'd, "have you seen Sam?'
I don't know Sam, Ac.
I hunted through each corner,
Till nearly out of breath ;
I ask'd about the wooly horse.
The mermaid and Joice Heth ;
Men laugh'd. the Shanghais cackled,
I left old Captain Sham ;
And as I turn'd to leave the place,
The monkeys chatter'd Sam !
I don't know Sam, Ac.
I went up to Albany,
To see the wires at play;
T was pulling here, 'twas pulling there,
Has Sam been here to day?
To Washington I went to see,
The Senatorial jam ;
I told them of the war in York,
They ask'd if I'd seen Sam?
I don't know Sam, Ae,
I told them horns and bugles blew,
A fearful warlike blast ;
That crochets, quavers, fiddles blew,
In bloodless conflict past ;
The lifers scream'd their piercing notes,
The drummer's beat their flam ;
While high above the noise and din,
The cry was, 44 Where is Sam ?"
I don't know Sam, Ac.
I'm going up the river,
My purse is running down :
No matter whom I chance to meet,
They ask if Sam's in town ;
It's Sam around above me,
In Croton or in dram ;
With luck. I'm off to-morrow,
Who is this fellow Sam ?
I don't know Sam, Ac.
AS ITEM OF OLD-TIME DIPLOMACY.
BY LEVEB.
For twenty minutes and more Sir Peter
abased the Dutch, be called them hard names
in English, and some very strong epithets in
bad French. Meanwhile his courier busied
himself in preparations for departure, and the
"Honorable Jack' undertook to shawl the
young ladies, & performance which, whether
from the darkness of the night, or the intri
cacy of the muffling, took a most unmerciful
time to accomplish.
44 "W shall never find the hotel at this hour,"
said Sir Feter angrily.
44 The house will certainly be closed," chim
ed in the young ladies.
4 Take you five to two on the double event,"
replied Jack, slapping the alderman on the
shoulder, and preparing to book the wager.
I did not wait to see it accepted, but step
ped 'over tho side, and trudged along the
44 Boomjes," that long quay, 'with its tall elm
trees, under whose shade many a burgomaster
has strolled at eve, musing over the profits
which his last venture fromUatavia was to re
alize ; and then having crossed the narrow
bridge at the end, I traversed the Erasmus
platz, and rang boldly, as an old acquaintance
has a right to do, at tho closed door of the
Schwein Kopf." My summons was not long
unanswered, and followed the many-petticoat-ed
handmaiden along the well-sanded passage,
I asked, 44 Is the Holbein chamber unoccu
pied V while I drew forth a florin from my
purse.
44 Ah, Mynheer knows it then," said she,
emiling. 44 It is at your service. We have
had no travelers for some days past, and you
are aware that, except greatly crowded, we
never open it."
This I knew well; and having assured her
that I was an habitue of the Schwein Kopf, in
times long past, I persuaded her to fetch some
dry wood and make me a cheerful fire, which,
with a krug of scheidam and some canastre.
made me as happy as a king.
The " Holbeiner Kammer" owes its name,
and any repute that it enjoys, to a strange
quaint portrait cf that master seated at a fire,
with a fair headed handsome child sitting cross
legged on the hearth before him. A certain
half resemblance seems to run through both
faces, although the age and coloring are so
different. But the same contemplative ex
pression, the deep-set eye, the massive fore
head and pointed chin, are to be seen in the
child as in the man.
This was Holbein and his nephew, Franz von
Holbein, who in after years served with dis
tinction in the army of Louis Quatorze. The
back-ground of the picture represents a room
exactly like the chamber a few highly -carved
oak chairs, the Utrecht velvet backs glowing
with their scarlet brilliancy, an old-fashioned
Flemish bed, with groups of angels, Xeptunes,
bacchanals, and dolphins, all mixed up con
fusedly in quaint carving ; and a massive frame
to a very small looking-glass, which hung in
a leaning attitude over the fire-place, and
made me think, as I gazed at it, that the plane
of the room was on an angle of sixty-five, and
that the least shore would send me clean into
the stove.
" Mynheer wants nothing," said the vrow
with a court 'sey.
" Jfothing," said I, with my most polite
bow.
Good night, then," said she; "tcklaff
wohl, and don't mind the ghost."
Ah, I know him of old," replied I, strik
ing the table three times with my cane. The
woman, whose voice the moment before was
in a tone of jest, suddenly grew pale, and, as
she crossed herself devoutly muttered "Nein !
neinl don't do that;" and, shutting the door
hurried down stairs with all the speed she
could muster.
I was in no hnrry to bed, howeverThe
44 krug" was racy, tho 4 canastre" excellent: i
so, placing the light where it should fall Willi
good effect on the Ilolbein, I stretched out
my legs to the blase ; and, as I looked upon
the canvass, began to muse over the story witn
which it was associated, and, which I may as
well jot down here for memory's sake.
Frank Holbein having more ambition ana
Ies industry than the rest of his family, re
solved to seek bis fortune ; and early in the
September of the year 1G81, he found himself
wandering in the streets of Paris, without a
liard in his pocket, or any prospects of earning
one. newasa fine-looking handsome youth,
of some eighteen or twenty years, with a sharp
piercing look, and that Spanish cast of face
for which so many Dutch families are remark
able. He sat down, weary and hungry, on one
of tho benches of the Point de la Cite, and
looked about him wistfully, to see what piece
f rnrtnne miffht come to his succor. A loud
shout, and the noise of the people flying in
every direction, attracted him. He jumped
up, and saw persons running hither and thither
to escape from a caleche, which a pair of run
away horses were tearing along at a frightful
rate. Frank blessed himself, threw off his
cloak, pressed his cap firmly upon his brow,
and dashed forward. The affrighted animals
slackened their speed as he stood before them,
and endeavored to pass by ; but he sprang to
their heads, and, with one vigorous plunge,
grasped the bridle; but though he held on
manfully, they continued their way; and, not
withstanding his every effort, their mad speed
scarcely felt his weight, as he was dragged
along beside them. With one tremendous
effort, however, he wrested the near horse's
head from the pole, and thus compelling him
to cross his fore-legs, the animal tripped, and
came headlong to the ground with a 6mash,
that sent poor Frank spinning some twenty
yards before them. Frank soon got up again ;
and though his forehead was bleeding, and his
hand severely cut, his greatest grief was his
torn doublet, which, threadbare before,, now
hung around him in ribbons.
44 It was you who utopped them ? are you
hurt ?" said a tall handsome man, plainly but
well dressed, and in whose face the trace of
agitation was clearly marked.
44 Yes, sir," said Frank, bowing respectfully.
44 1 did it, and see how my poor doublet has
suffered !"
44 Nothing worso than that ?"said the other,
smiling blandly. 44 "Well, well, that is not of
so much moment. "Take this," 6aid he, hand
ing him his purse ; 44 buy yourself a new doub
let, and wait on me to-morrow by eleven."
With these words the stranger disappeared
in a caleche, which seemed to arrive at the
moment, leaving Frank in a state of wonder
ment at the whole adventure.
44 How droll he should never have told mo
where ho lives!" said he, aloud, as the by
standers crowded about him, and showered
questions upon him.
44 It is Monsieur le Ministre, man M. de
Louvois himself, whose life you'vo saved.
Your fortune is made for ever."
The speech was a true one. Before three
months from that eventful day, M. de Louvois,
who had observed and noted down certain
traits of acuteness in Frank's character, sent
tor him to his bureau.
44 Ilolbein," said he, 44 1 have seldom been
deceived in my opinion of men. You can be
secret, I think ?"
Frank placed his hand upon his breast, and
bowed in silence.
44 Take the dress you will find on that chairj
a carriage is now ready waiting in the court
yard ; get into it, and set out for Bale. On
your arrival there, which will be mark me
well about eight o'clock on the morning of
Thursday, you'll leave the carriage, and send
it into the town, while you must station your
self on the bridge over the Rhine, and take an
exact date of everything tht occurs, and ev
ery ono that passes, till tho cathedral clock
strikes three. Then the caleche will be in rea
diness for your return ; and lose not a moment
in repairing to Paris."
It was an hour beyond midnight, in the ear
ly part of the following week, that a caleche,
travel-stained and dirty, drove into the court
of the minister's hotel, and five minutes after,
Frank, wearied and exhausted, was ushered
into M. do Louvois' presence.
44 Well, monsieur," said he impatiently,
44 what have you seen ?"
44 This, may it please yourExcellency," said
Frank trembling, . is a note of it ; but I am
ashamed that so trivial an account "
44 Let us see let us see," said the minister,
44 In good truth, I dare scarcely venture to
read such a puerile detail."
44 Read it at once, monsieur," was the stern
command.
Frank's face became deep-red with shame,
as he began thus :
44 Nino o'clock, I sco an ass coming along,
with a child leading him. The ass is blind of
one eye. A fat German sits on the balcony,
and is spitting into the Rhine ."
44 Ten. A lievely servant from Bale rides
by, with a basket. An old peasant in a yellow
doublet "
44 Ay, what of him ?"
44 Nothing remarkable, save that he leans
over the rails, and strikes three blows with
his stick upon them."
"Enough, enough," said M. de Louvois,
gayly. 44 1 must awake the king at once."
The minister disappeared, leaving Frank in
a state of bewilderment. In less than a quar
ter of an hour he entered the chamber, his
face covered with smiles.
"Monsieur," said he, "you have rendered
his majesty good service. Here is your brevet
of colonel. The king has this instant signed it."
In eight days after was the news known in
Paris, that Strasburg, then invested by the
French army, had capitulated, and been re
united toTTBgdom. The three strokes of
the caffebeinz the signal which annoiinr.pd th
ccess of the secret negotiation between the
ministers of Louis XIV. and the magistrate of
Strasburg.
