TIE TABLES TIILVED
At the mime of,'-Cale Meeksi what reminiscen
ces pass before our mental vision ! Old recollec
tions come crowding upon us, and we can see an
array of the "solid" pass before the mind's eye, in
the shape of seekers after the mythical Frank Mc-
Laughhn, the victims of croton and julep, for the
administration of which no medical reason exist
ed, and a long line of those who hard been hum
bugged generally without any specific regard to
the particular species of sell. Cafe was the prince
of dry jokers ; he lived, moved, and had his being
through a dirunel succession of sells; indeed, his
life was one great sell composed of a conglomersi
thin of the infinitesimal sells of fifty 'years dura
tion. Now Bixby, Nathan DWI, was one of
Cale's truest and staunchest business acquaintan
ces, althotigh he had never been introduced into
the domestic circle made glad by the portly pres
ence of Mrs. Cale, who was somewhat addicted
to jealousy. The reason for this lack of acquain
tance was that she lived a secluded life in one of
the little villages on Long Island, and Nat Dixby
lived in the Babel of New York. Well, one day
Cale was hard pushed for an object on which to
inflict a practical joke, and in his dilemma selec
ted his friend Nat ae his victim. The manner in
which Nat was - sold I do not choose to particular
ly describe. Suffice it to say that under the play
of Cale's exuberant fancy, Nat made a journey to
Albany, insisted that a lady there had sent him an
amatory . epistle, which he produced. The.lady
became inaignaiit, called in the aid of her hueband,
who literally i3kintied Mr. Diaby, who thereafter
returned to Gotham with a large and lively flea in
his ear. ' This event happened in the early spring
tithe, and on a clear day. About a week after
Nat's return from Albany, he met Cale. The sell
was disclosed by Cale, and a hearty laugh was-had
over Nat's mislay, and at his still bruised features,
in which he jomed ; but those present noticed the
fact that he did.not laugh an inch below the chin;
Indeed it was generally believed that Nat's mirth
was entimily simulated. -
"Now, Old! fellow," said Cale, "you don't bold
any malice, do you 7"
"Not a bit," answered Nat, "and in token of
amity, let as take a good smile all round."
Which thing was done in the -usual manner.
"Mow did you come to town 2" asked Nat.
"I drove up is a light wagon," replied Cale.
"And when will you return home 2"
"About six o'clock this evening," replied Cale.
Nat thereupon plead 'an engagement; and left;
but as soon as he was out of ear-shot of his joker
frieud,repaired to Gray's stable, in Warren Street,
where he hired a fast &free and a light vehicle,
and with which he started, 'through a by-street,
for the rekidenco of his friend Cale, on Long Is
land. On arriving, he left his horse and wagon at
public house, and proceeded to the aforesaid
tesidencedwhere he inquiretlof the servant if Mr.
Meeks was at home. On being answered, at he
kifew he Would be, in the negative, be
" This is unfortunate. I wanted- to pay him
Some money. If 1 could see Mrs. Meeks it whuld
do as welt; she could give a receipt in her hus
band's name." .
Mrs. Meeks was frugal andpndustrious, and al
wags attentive to her husband's interests: As
the last remark fell from the lips of Nat, a fine
looking Matron called from up the stairs Id the
Servant "Eo shows the gentleman in the 'pallor,"
where she followeU in a few minutes. Nat 'bow
ed, and said:
"I desire to see Mrs. Meeks, madam." •
" Very welt," replied she, " I am Mi. Meeks."
"Pardon me, madam," skid Nat, with a -doubt
,
itig shake of the head; "but this is a matter of
some importance—the payment of money:: and
you are not the lady Mr. Meeks introduced' to
tne as his wife last whiter."
"Not the lady? What shrieked she, do you
mean to tell me that—" .
"I simply tell you, madam," replied Nat, with
icy imperturbility, that' Mr. Meeks last winter,
in Broadway, near Leonard Street, introduced
me to a lady whom? he.ealled Mrs. Meeks, and
Yon are not the hilly."
-
.a
"Indeei . exeliiined Mrs. Meeks", her eyes
dashingfiro: "how old was she 1" •
Well, about twenty-five."
"'Twenty-fire! And how was sbe dressed ?"
' 1 "She wore ber,hair in ringlets, had diamond
ear-rings!"—
, • "Diamond ear-rings t"
"A heavy -silk velvet - dress, very large gold
bracelets, a magnificent watch and chain,"
" Well, go ou," she said spitefully.
"Bilk velvet hat trimmed with magnificent lace,
and a muff and-boa."
"Boa !" screeched out the how thoroughly
irate dame: "you'd better bUre your way out of
this Arouse, sir, ,mighty quick, or else somebody
will hilve the headace! No,i sir, I an' not Mrs
Meeks, and I want you to leave."
"0, certainly," said Nat, who saw the tallest
kind of a storm brewing, and who had good rea
iron to believe that the sturdy dame might launch
at his head a cook-shell or BOUM other heavy or.
'laments which adorned the mantle. Nat there--
Upon beat a hasty retreat from off the premises,
and placed himself behind a stone wall, from
which he could command a view of the Brooklyn
turnpike. He did not wait long before he saw
turnable Caleb driving down the road, all uncon
scious of the ambush of Nat. The expression of
Caleb's face was one of great amiability, and ex•
emplilied that lie was at peace with " all the world
and. the rest of mankind."
.In a brief apace of time Caleb's steed was given
in charge of a 6table-boy, and Auiconscinua and
happy, he entered his domicil and shut the'door,
'Xlie'vnornent he entered !in attentive ear might
have detected the sound of a voice in no Why

with amazement 'on his front and a mop in his
rear, the soft mat of which was under the direct
pod personal superintendence of u lady, who was
very red in the time add very sturdy in arms', and
Who' . xtrongly resembled Mrs. Mocks. The battle
Nadi commenced in the paisage-way. Caleb's
castor, which'sliene in the rays of the setting min
as he drove down the toad, was now very much
braised and out of shape—indeed, it wan driven
far down over Caleb's amiable physiognomy. '
"What in thunder's out?", yelled Caleb.
"Twenty-ftve years old!" shrieked the infuri
ated dame, and bang Cale caught the mop over
his i‘houlders. ".Corkscrew rthglets!" and punk,

the nextinstant Caleb's nose was as flat as•aq,

tempered Wife retreated into the mansion and left_
him alone in his gore. Slowly and with the most
keen sensation of pain, he raised himself to a sir
ling posture, and with many agroanof agony, pro;
needed to inspect his personal condition. : i

astonishment, a-look upon his former victim, :

A REMARKABLE PROPKECEI—NOt long ago
mns lona '
at Toledo, in Spain, in r a monastery, 'fa*-
paper containing the followibg prophecy :--In the
far West, beyond the ocean, wall rise a natioa ,
which will, be great in power and wealth; and
Satan, in one of his walks to and fro in the earth,
will observe thisnation, and determine to destroy.
their happiness, will there send two monstemone,
to the North and the other to the South, and, he
will give them strawberries, and they will, eat
them; and, after they have eaten, they will feel
great thirst, not to be quenehedwith linything,else
but blood, They mill, therefore, cause the broth.
er to slay the brother, the father to slay the on,,
.and the son the father, and they will drink, the
blood of the slain, and it will bring lamentation.
and wailing throughout the land.
And, when the time is fulfilled, there will rise,
a strong man in the North who will take the mon
sters and bind them and draw them into the .sea,
where it is the:deepest, and peace and tuippinees.
will again prevail throughout, and the people will
praise the Lord.
It is said the monks in said monastery main
tain that this prophecy was written before the
discovery of America by Christopher Columbus;
that Ferdinand and Isabella were in the main,
induced by it to fit out the ship for Columbus, and
that the first part of it is fulfilled in -America, and
that the other part will soon come to pass.
SLEIGH RIDING AND Witkows.—A friend' of
ours who has made sleigh-Tiding the study of ids•
life, assures us that widows (young, of course,)
were the best consolation hi-a sleigh-ride., They
are reputed dangerous, but the peril, pethapa, en
hances the pleasure. If a widow is net 'Attaina
ble, the singly blessed are eligible as substitutes;
very young ln,dies are not desirable; they. are apt
to get frightened if the horses should ripn a*ay,-.
and don't enjoy. the "spills." It requites a good
deal of dexterity to conduct the "spills"' , properly.
Dare,slionlif be taken in the selection ore. spot

, DON'T FORGET YOUR GLins.—When I lived
among the Choctaw Indians, (sap a travler,) 1
held a consaltationiWith one of their chiefs respect
ing the stages of their progress in the arts of civ
ilized life, and unong other things he informed me .
that at their start They made a great mistake,
they only seat their boys to school. These boys
came home intelligent men, but they married un
educated and uncivilized wives ; and the uniform
result was the children were like their motheoe.
The father soon lost all his interest both iii wife
and children. Aud now, said he, if we would ed
ucate but one class of our children, we should
choose the girls, for When they become mothers,
they, educate their tone. This is the point, audit
is true, No nation can become fully enlightened
'when . mothers are not qualified to discharge the
duties of home work of education. Parents give

Mt. Mal', coming home late one night froth
meeting, was met at the door by hit wife.
"Pretty, time of night, Mr. Toot ; for you to
come home—pretty time, three o'clock in the
morning; you, the father of a family. '
'Tisn't three—it's only one; I heard it strike;

means," replied the prince, "by which-I can
never see my country's ruin—l wilidie in the last

It aepealed to the Democracy: -The law of the

be made thexule ; freedom the exception. Slavery
must be declared supreme in the territories, or it
