thai comet and squawks under my winder period
Oily and makes me mad exceedinkly.
You missuble speckled critter, yon !
"What'n thnnder aryou squawkink about 1
Does anything hurt you bad 1 Or do you sqnawk
That way in Ginny, where you came from,
And so squawk now lrom educational prejudice?
What'n mischief do you pull your homely head
Out'n from under your wing and squawk,
You speckled "cuss f "
Something offensive, I rcck'n, elswise
You'd keep it there, for it looks better hid.
"What do you get on the fence and squawk for t
Do you see anything al:irmink,you white-gilled,
Speckle-feathered, squawking fool 1
Row do you expect a feller can read, or rite,
Or sleep, or live, you discordant old busted
Brass French horn, with all the keys open
And the mouth-piece cracked ?
I wish I could pizen you, you everlastin', per

What're you thinking about ? home 7
You rascally epitome of a Ginny war gong,
A congo tum-ttiin and conch-shell,
And a down-East Village brass band !

You boiler-maker's exacerbated echo !
Yon squawking abstract of Pandemonium,
Do you think a feller can aflurd to furnish boot

And so forth, to chunk you with daily, dog you?

Pax of Gravy.- Ba-a-a ! Ba-a-a !' shrieks
a half-naked infant of about eighteen months
old.
What's the matter with mamma's thwect
yittlednck?" says its affectionate motherwhile
she presses it to her bosom, and the young
tarplnt in return digs its talons into her face.
"Da den, Missis, I know wot little massa
Jim wants," exclaims the cherub's negro
nurse.
"Yon Mack hussy ! why don't you tell mc
then !" and the Infuriated mother gives Dinah
a douse iu the chops with her shoe.
""Why he wants to put his foot in dat pan
ob gravy, wots on de barf!" whimpers the
unfortunate black.
'Well and why don't you bring it here, you
aggravating nigger you," replies the mother
f the brawling young one.
Dinah brings the gravy, and little Jim puts
Lis bare feet into the pan, dashing the milk
warm grease about its sweet little shanks to
the infinite amusement of its mother; who
tenderly exclaims
"Did mamma's yeetle Dimmey want put to
its teeny-weeny footeys in the gravy. It shall
paddle in the pan as it chooseys wooseys, and
then shall have its pooty red. frock on and go
and see pappy yappy."
As astronomical fact. A bright star,
iiamcd Sirius, or the Dog star, passes over us
in the season called dog-days ; and some peo
ple hare foolishly supposed that its presence
may cause madness or hydrophobia, in dogs.
It is caculated to be 2,200,000,000,000 miles
distant from the earth ; 17,000 times as dis
tant as the sun is. A ray of Jight from Sirius,
travelling as fust as a cannon ball at its grea
test speed, would not be seen on the earth for
523,211 years. But this is the nearest fixed
itar among all the multitude over us !
. Obakge Peel. The New York Journal of
Commerce learns that a little son of Robert
Oliver, of that city, about five years of age, is
now lying in a very critical condition from the
effects of eating orange peel. Parents cannot
be too cautious in keeping orange peel from
their children, as it contains an active poison
ous oil, which in many instances baa caused
the death of persons who indiscreetly made
use of them. Life is jeopardized every time
the rind is taken into the stomach.
jLfr"An Exchange contains the following
excellent, plain, j. radical advise to young
men : "Be content as your mouth is full and
your body covered remember the poor, kiss
the pretty giris, don't rob your neighbor's hen
roost, never pick an editor's pocket, or enter
tain an idea that he is going to treat ; kick dull
care to the devil, black your own boots, sew
on your own buttons, and take a paper and
pay for it."

Dr. Shaw, of Texas, states that he has found

r(J THOSE WHO WANT FARMS.
A FARM WITH IN THE REACH OF
EVERY MAN.
THE RIDGWAY FARM COMPANY has made ar
rangements by which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
the best limestone soil of the most superior quality
for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into
which an extensive emigration is now pouring.
The property is located in Elk Connty, Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10.000. Th climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
also has an abuudance of the best quality of Coal
and Iron. The price to buy it out is from ?3 to
!?20 per acre, payable in instalments, to bo located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 25 acres
entitling to locate the same for S.'JOll, payabln SO
per month or 12i acres payable SI per mouth.
1'iscount for every sum f Slt'O and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over 5100 a discount ot 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to
thi locality tho following are presented :
First The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising tho heaviest crops, owing to which this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
Second It is the centre of the great North West
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
the greatest business places in the State. It will
supply the great Lake market (according to popu
lation and travel the greatest in the Union.) It
has five workable veines of the best Bituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which makes 22,000 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Third The eminent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jackson of Boston, has made a geological sur
vey of the land, and analysed the coal, the iron
ore and the limestone. This report together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
Funrth Thrco railroads are laid out through
this property. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market foroureoal to the Lakes it runs
from Eric to Philadelphia. A large part of this
road has been finished, and is now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erio to
wards our land in the western direction, the means
for the completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allegheny Valley Rail
road connects ns with New York, Boston and Pitts
burg. Tho Venango Road connects us with the
West.
There are already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration and
settlement w,bich has already taken place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now offered
to the man who wants to provide himsolf a home
in an easy way, and mike a settlement where he
can live in prosperity and independence in a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of fever ever having been known to oci
cur in this settlement. It is not like going to the
backwoods of the West, among perhaps intollerant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, where the price of land is high, and where
the emigrant, after being used to the healthiest
climate in the world, has to endure sickness and
pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
family. Rut here is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de
sired. There is a cash market at hand. The lum
ber trado last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works'and manufactories will soon
he started ; they are at present starting them ex
tensively at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to go there, the payments are such that they
can easily buy a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence
by the riso which will take place in the value of
lands By an outlay scarcely missed, a substan
tial provision can be made
