Joi■ Anderson. My Ao.
This exquisite ballad, constructed by
Robert Burns out of a different and
somewhat exceptionable lyric, has al
war left something to be wished for
and regretted; it is not complete. But
who would venture to add to a song of
Burns! As Barns left it, it rune thus:
John Anderson, my jo, John,
%lien we were first acquaint,
Tour locks were like the raven,
Your bonnie brow was brent ;
Slat now your brow is bald. John,
Your locks are like the slow;
Bat blessings on your frosty pow,
Jobe Anderson, my jo.
John Anderson, my jo, John,
We clamb the bill thegither;
And moray a minty day, John,
We're had wi' ane anither;
Now we maun totter down, John,
!Tut band fu band we'll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.
Fine as this is, it does not quite satisfy
n contemplative mind; whoa one has
;ono so far, he looks and longs for
something more—something beyond the
foot of the hill. Many a reader of Burns
must iitzve telt this; and it is quite
probable that many have attempted to
"apply the deficiency ; but we know
of only one sitceets in so hazardous
an experiment. This is the added
v (The :
John Anderson, iny jo, John,
When we hare slept thegither
The sleep that if mann sleep. John,
_We'll wake wi' ane auither:
Antt in that better %arid, John,
Nae sorrow shall we know;
Nor fear we e'er shall part again,
John Anderson, tnyjo.

407 YEAR.
A THEATRICAL INC/DENT.
Some years ago the manager of a
" well regulated Theatre" somewhere
along the Erie Cdnal, engaged a good
looking and brisk young lady as a super
numerary.. It happened that the young
lady in question had formeriyollicialud
in some capacity as a " hand" on board
a canal boat, a fsctwhich she was ex
tremely sm rims too:incest. She evinced
much anxiety to master the details of
her newly chosen profension, and soon .
exhibited a more than ordinary degree
of comic talent. She was duty pro
moted and in time became a genet'sl
favorite with both manager and the
public.
One night when she was announced
to appear in a favorite pen i s couple of
boatmen fbnnd their way into . the pit
near the foot lights, partieulatly anxi
ous to ice the now famous comediene.—
The house was crowded, and after the
subsidence of general applause which
greeted her appearance one of the boat
men slapped his companion on the
shoulder, and with an emphatic exple
tive exclaimed, loud enough to be heard
over half the house :
"Bill. I know that gal!"
" Pshaa- ! dry up !"
"But Pm d—d if I don't now,
Bill. It's Sal Flunk►ns, as sure ah you re
born. She's old Flunkins' daughter
that used to run the Injured Polly, and
she used to sail with him."
"Tom," said Bill, " you're a fool, and
if you don't stop your infernal clack
you'll be put out. Sal Flunkins ! You
niumt know• a sight if you think that's
her !"
Tom was silenced, but not convinced.
He watched the actress in all her mo
tions with intense interest, and ere long
broke out again.
" I tell ye, Bill, that's her—l know
'tis. You can't fool me—l know her
too well :"
Bill, who was a good deal interested
in the play, was out of all patience at
the persistent interruption on the part
of tom, and gave him a tremendous
nudge in the ribs with his elbow as a.l
emphatic hint for him to " keep quiet."
Tum without minding the admonitipn,
said, " You just wait—l'll fix her; keep
your eye on me."
Sure enough he did fix her. Watch
ing his opportunity when the actress
was deeply absorbed in her part, he
sung out in a voice which rang through
the , rallerics,
" low Bridge !"
From force of habit, the actress in
stantly and involuntarily, ducked her
head, to avoid the anticipated collision.
Doom came the house with a perfect
thunder of applause at this " palpable
hit," high above which Tom's voice
could be heard, as he returned Bill's
punch in the ribs with interest—
" Didn't I tell ye, old boy. I know'd
'twas her. You couldn't fool me."—

The Married Man.—How im it, that,
girls can always tell a married man
from a single one ? The fact is indis
putable. The philosophy of it is be
yond our ken. Blackwood says that.
" the fact of matrimony or batchelorehip
is written so legibly in a inan't. appear
ance, that no ingennity can conceal it.
Everywhere there is some inexplicable
instinct that tells us whether an individ
ual (whose name, fortune and circum
stances are totally unknown) b e, or
be nut, a married man. Whether it
is a certain subdued look, such as that
which characterize& the lions in a me
nagerie, and distinguishes them from
the lords of the desert, we cannot tell;
but that the trut i b is so, we positively
affirm."
A Thick Iliad.-4 duel was fou ght
at Calaveras, Cal. a few days previous
to the sailing of Cal. ,
last steamer, be
tween two colored "gemmen. ' After
the first shot, the officers of the i kvw in
terfered, and arrested the parties.--
During the trial before the Magistrate,
one of the duellists discovered a small
bole in the top of his head, and upon
examination it was ascertained that the
bullet from his adversary's pistol had
entered the cranium a. short distance
and flattened, but had not, niaohad the
brain.

During the severe cold of Last winter
I had occasion to make a journey to the
West by rail. The road was in shock
ing order, having settled in many
'places in such a way as to recall to the
bruised and battered travellers vivid
reminiscences of the corduroy roads of
the olden time. ' One night, as most of

air A bomb-shell was thrown into the
ilepublican ranks by Gov. Bigler, near
tile close of th e
. discussion in the U. S.
Senate, last Thursday week. Mr. Wil
son, of Massachusetts, had been indulg
ing in the most unrestrained allegations
of fraud at the elections, on the part of
the friends of the Locomption Consti
tution, in Kansas. 31r. Bigler arose,
at the conclusion of this tirade, and
staled that he had before him the offi
cial returns of the Vote in Kansas, for
delegates to -.Congress last October, and
also the official vote against the Consti
tution on the 4th of January. They
exhibited a few singular facts which he
desired the Senator from Massachusetts
to explain. It appeared by these re
tiaras, that while the Republicans of
Leavenworth City polled.less than 700
votes for Alr. Parrott, their candidate
for CongresS last October, they had
given nearly 1400 agair.st the Constitu
tion in January. Another extraordi
nary fact was, that in Shawnee, whore
Mr. Parrott had 749 votes and Mr. Ran
som had GI, making in all 810, 1720
votes had been cast against the Consti•
tution. In Donaphin and Brown coun
ties the rote against the Constitution
is almost double t h at given fur _Mr.
Parrott, having increased trate about
500 to near 1000. Mr. Wilson did not
attempt an explanation; in fact, lie

EVERY WORD TRUE
The Chambersburg Talley Spirit, in
an - article on the Kansas question, has
a number of well-put points, which we
extract, and endorse. It says :
Mr. BUCHANAN had no share in bring
ing Kansas so prominently before the
public, and be can have ye ambition but
to dispolie of her in the mode best cal
misled to promote the peaoe and pros
perity of the country. he Nation de
manded his services at a time of life
whoa the Presidency had in a great
meamrre lost its attrtetions for him.—
saeepting his high trust, he announe
ed ttiat he would lay it down at the
close of a single term. He has, there
fbre, no personal "..ends to !observe to
the detriment of the puWie. His inter
ests are Identical with the Interests of
thu country; and if he has any ambi
tionAit must be to live in history as a
Chief Magistrate who did all that in him
lay to render' his country prosperous
and happy, and to bind its several
Sulu* together with links of affection
too strong to be broken. His claim to
the confidence of his countrymen is
unustially strong, and nothing short of
a flagrant dereliction of duty on his
part would justify them in withholding
from him their cordial support. The
Democrat, especially, who fails to sus
tain him, will need to make out a strong
ease to justify his own course to "the
sober second thought of the people."
And what say the numerous admir
ers of Gen. Cass ? Is ho the man to
sanction ouch a "villainous contrivance"
as the Lecompton Constitution is said
to be by the few Democratic papers.
that, • have espoused the Abolition side
of the Kansas question? Does anybody
believe that the old patriot would close
his political career and tarnish his great
reputation by attempting to "force a
fraudulent Constitution upon an un
willing people ?" Gen. CABS has lived
more than " three score years and ten;"
his life has been spent in the service of
his country, and he has made himself a
name that is known and respected
throughout theXivilixed world. What
ambition can he have, expecting, as ho
must, soon to bo called from the scenes
of earth, hut to do his duty to the
country he has loved and served so long
and se well ?
And let us ask the Democracy of
Pennsylvania, but more especially the
Democracy of Franklin county, wheth
er they think that Judge BLACK would
favor the admission of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution, if that
Constitution had not been lawfully
made ? It is not claiming too much
for dpdge BLACK, and perhaps it is not
claiming enough, to say that his 'moral
and political character is quite as good,
and liis perception of right and wrong
quite as sharp as that of the noisy jour
nalists and windy orators who have tht
nounced as a "fraud " and a "villainy"
whathe bits declared to be " the lawful
work of a lawful body." Our Democ
racy know Judge KLACK ; they have
confidence in him; and no man need tell
them'that a measure which meets his
approval is tainted with fraud or vil
lainy. They will not abate their high
confidence in him at the bidding of men
whom they know to be unfit to tie the
latehoil of his shoed.
And Ilown.t. Cosa—the honest, fair
minded, high-toned Georgia statesman,
whom the Democracy of Franklin list
ened to with so mach delight in our
Court House in the campaign of 1854--
is he too a conniver at " villainy " in
Kansas ? We think our people will be
slow to believe that he would sanction
a fraud. We are sure they have more
couPlenee in.him than in the disap
pointed and embittered politicians who
are covertly wailing the administra
tion of which he,is part.
The Spirit's article concludei :
The truth is, as we hate already
stated, the misnamed "Free State" mon
of Kansite did ooi and do not now want
the Shivery question settled. They
went' it kept open till the Presidential
eleetion in 180 , 1111411 to keep it open
they would trample wider foot all the
Constitutions, and all the laws in the
universe. Tey have defied the laws
from the. beginuing, and they will defy
them "to the end. If they can get the
Constitution referred back to: them,
they will kick it about from year to
year, and use every exertion to keep
the Slavery question open for agitation
thrOukhout the North. The only
chance for speedy peace lies in the im
mediate admission of Kansas under the
Constitution she has lawfully formed.
If that Constitution does not embody
