With a shoe about htlf done;

Thut you'd have thought he was only In

They may dig or teach or hew or preach,
Whatever tliey do you will see in each
Something Unit's always within my reach,
Or my duily custom mudo.
The purson may smile as down each aisle
Ills eloquence sonorous rolls ;
lie can only believe, when his sermon Is o'er,
auu silence broods oer the pews once

That ho merely performs what I've done
before,
For I am a curcr of soles.
The doctor delights, as he knowingly wrlles,
A prescription for pain and smart
Toihlnk think thut for nehes he can give

And also to think of the coming fees,

THE ART OF CONVERSATION.

LIFE ON THE PLAINS INTERESTING
.REMINISCENCES OF KIT CARSON.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial has had an interview with
Kit C::ron, who coiinniiidtated to him
the following interesting reminiscences s
All the Indians, hunters mid trappers

bow legged from it. It is more imp'or
taut to the Indians than to the while

'Why, yes, I an up to a good many of
their tricks, but they tooled mo once
they fooled me pretty b'ad that time.
I'll ti ll you about it. it was in let me
see ye, 1835. There were six ot us
hunters out utter buffalo, up in the snake

'I had just a little suspicion that th
wolves might be Indians, but when I

told a lie. and yet he was borne out by
.he bystanders; caterpillars turn over a
new leaf without much moral improve
ment; oxen can only eat corn with the
mouth, y t yon may give it- to them in
tho ear; food bolted down is not the
most likely to remain on the stomach
so(t water is often caught when it ruins
hard; high woids between men are fre
quently low words; steamboat officers
aro-vcry pleasant company, ond yet we
are always glad to have them give us a
wide bi-i tli; a nervous man is trembling,
faint, weak a man of nerve and a ner
voiis style are strong, firm, vigorous.
Our phrases ore not designed to be
construed too libernllv, Punch tells us
of a man who was n nested for attemp
ting to damage the rivet Thames, What

breaking a commandment; in catching a
train and catching a coldi in falling into
a ditch, falling in loye, falling in your

falling out of a carriage This pecu

What d we Koan by the awkward,
every day question. 'How do you do?'
What do we mean when we speak of
'old times,' knowing as i.e do that what
we call old 'limes,' were really the now j
and young 'times.' and that the present
is ihe true old ago of the world t Has
any debating society ever deei led
whether a lionse burns up or down?
What do we mean when we say, as we
often do. that we will, do a thing in no
timet Wehavano pucalon to laugh

Sheridan to his wild son Tom i ' 'Take

only the other day, in a new suit ot

Il noticeable in our language how a
word, bv changing its grammatical char

is seen in a statizi, in which a farmer
wonders ,

The New York Times. Hie Worhl.n'nA
the iVfiw all, in their comments on the
Fhiladclpl'iii canard,- utterly deny the
right of the Frctdent to assume tho
power that the false duspateh iinplicd.
There can be no mistaking public opin

was aroused by tho suggestion ot such
usurpation shows how healthy is' I he

quickly it would respond to any new de
mand upon its patriotism. .
'II anybody doubted where the people
would be found in annothergreat crisis,
says a Fhihidnlphia paper,' 'the rising
last Wednesday, w hen Andrew Johnson
was supposed to be .'wanning up' a new
rebellion, was sufficient to dispel any
such doubts. The spirit of April. 1H0I.
