Last .Saturday night, on/. My :thi:c . , , to Canton; I •foun "Myself seated .in front of*Erbrace of..wel ‘-dressed, but rather [suspicious looking ejaaps, who seemed familiar Witlithe term, at least,. if not ite'tnetining. ' 'One of them, ad dr,esalng hisv partner, said; "Bill, the papers say that them deadbeats in Cent press are going to !pi:itch. Andy John- Se n, do you think 'they l llll6 it?" Bill replied, " Can't tell, 'preps they will ;. , the ,t1, 7 --ia abolitionists 'peached An drew Jackson once, and its Jest like W . to'peach Johnson." ," Well, Bill," 're-._ plied the other, "-they'll have a nice Ods time if they do3et yet ' life; Andy Ain't no dead beat, ye know, and if . they do 'peach himAtill 'Make fightin ; the South 'IL fight for him, and the Demo-, crats 'Blight for him.

This interchange of thought was•eut Short by the car whistle, as the train ap proached a station, and the next mo ment, when the conductor sung out, " Antwerp," the two men were appa-._ ten tly asleep. - . - The train started up, and in due time 4,he conductor reached the bleepers, and . "skid, " tickets," at' which one of them awoke, and in ,a confused manner, re plied, "Tickets I dlidn't we pay to Ant werp?" "ies " was the answer, `'but we've just left Antwerp." " Devil, then $ we'll,have 0 Olin to the nest station." "Well, pay y ur fare toKeene's, then,!; " We'll be cussed if we do." •" You'll •be ettssed if yon don'e." With this gtai-L tic hint the conductor pulled the , bell rope, and as the train came to a halt, said, " Come, get oil:" The young Man addressed, saw two stoat brakesmen ap proaching to second the cordial invita tion, and naturally preferring Cantataa . in ease of war, refined, " we propose tO pay to Keene's; we ain't nit dead beats, ye- know," as the conductor again pressed the "Invitation" by laying Iris handon the shoulder of the one " lin gering in blissful repose."' The fellow opened his eyes, and I itail in, their ek presslon the followin receipt for a ras cal: " One 'part wl iskey, - three parts cat, and feu • parts ussedness." ,A:3 I finished read ng, the conductor gait(' the villainous c mpoun a slight-jerk, and 'said, " Com ; get of .."

"lt's too late-now ; come, hur ry up." .And the twain were hustled towards the rear of the s car, while, th 6 silokesman still insisted, with an hi- Jured air, that they were "not dead beats," The other showed the " spirit of ,a map," by clinging fast to the plat form, bu • was finally detached, and sent spinnint into a snow-bank. As he' strugglet there, With his head twatds China and his heels turned up defiantly to the full moon, his companion indig nantly continued to the conductor, " I know you, wind yob shall suffer for this. We ain't no dead beaAs, ye know." •I looked at his partner rti distress;stillin veiled, and kicking away at the in mindful moon, and remarked,- " I think he is right in saying that they are not both dead beats; one, at least, looks like a live turn-up." A passenger failed to see the 'joke, and as 1 returned to my seat I :heard him "wonder what that fellow meant by live turnip." I de clined to explain. .
