OLD WINTER IS COMING.
Old Winter is coming ho, ho! ho, ho!
Old Winter is coming with rain and snow;
Old Winter is coming a royal old fellow,
With his snow white benrd & his hand so yellow.
Old Winter is coming his mantle of snow,
O'er Ihe hills and the vallies,and the woods he
dotn throw.
Old Phcebus to melt it in vain tries his ravs.
His beams are thrown back again full in his
face.
Old Winter is coming we'll welcome him here,
With a good blazing fire, and plenty of cheer.
We will melt all the icicles off from his beard,
And show the old fellow he no more is fear'd.
Old winter is coming bring plenty of wood,
Bring cider & apples, and hickory nuts good;
And thus blessM with our lasses, we'll pass time
away,
So pleasant that Winter himself would fain stay.

P. was not a wife in tlic cyus of the low.
He consequently stole an interview with
injr,' und had an explanation of affairs.
The "hour for retiring" had not yet arri
ved, and the groom began to be in the
fiilgets-nbout his bride; she was sent for,

Chase was instantly made; but the lovers
were-4mJ' tieet tor their pursuers, niuj
reached Boston and were lawfully wed

is said they frequently laugh at the joke
a laugh which must be greatly at the ex
pense of Mr. F. . . U-
Whimsical Mistake An immense
Treasury document waslaid on the table
of Members of Congress, a few days
since, which was found to be u statement
of the monies received for various purpo
ses at each Custom House during the last
war! No one could tell what it was
printed for, or who ordered it, until Mr.
Senator Silshee stated that he offered at
the last session, a resolution which was
adopted, requiring the Treasury officers
to prepare and have printed a statement
of the Custom House monies during the
last year! By some slip of the pen the
year became war, and hence the mistake,
which relieved Uncle Sam's pocket of a
goodly number of dollars, and nil for
nought, unless it be that Duff Green, the
Nullifying Printer to Congress, was ben
efitted to the tunc of five hundred or a
'Soudand dollars.
A new Article Shoes made of cloth,
saturated and painted with gum clastic,
otherwise called India rubber, have been
sent from New England into the New
York marker. The surface of the cloth
is highly polished, somewhat resembling
kid, and is said to be impervious to wa
ter. They are intended to supersede the
common gum elastic shoes generally
worn, both in utility and appearance.

A Yankee Trick. The Baltimore Vi
sitor says: There has been a good deal
of talk in this city, as well as those cities
north and east of us, concerning the mar
riage of a Miss Phelps with two gentle
men, Mr. Roswell M. Field, of Fayette
ville, and Mr. J. H. Clark, of Boston. It
appears that these two marriages, in
which but three were concerned, were
announced simultaneously in the Boston
and Windsor papers, and rumor, of
course, began to conjecture. The "Tra
veller and Times," of New York, throws
some light upon the mystery. It seems
that Miss P. possessed an ample fortune,
besides every other charm that could
make a young lady lovely in the eves of a
suitor; she was betrothed to Mr. C. with
the consent of all parties he beino- n
gentleman of medium circumstances, and
a merchant of Boston. In the mean
while in steps Auld Robin Gray, in the
form of a Mr. F. a rich crentleman from

parents were charmed with the slitter of
gold, and,ot course, used all their endea

Narrow Escape of the King of France,
An attempt was made on the 19th Nov
ember to assassinate the King of the
French; a pistol was fired at him as he
was on his way to the Chambers. The
following are the details, as given in Ga
lignani's Messenger: Amongst the per
sons who on seeing the King shouted the
loudest acclamations, the spectators re
marked a man, ill dressed, aged about
30, of middle siztv, who waved his hat
with his right hand. At the moment the
King arrived opposite this individual, the
latter drew from his pocket a pistol, and
presenting it at his majesty with his left
hand, continued to waive his hat with his
right. A young woman near him, obser
ving his movements, seized hold of his
right urm,and thus changed the direction
of the shot. The assassin disappeared
immediately amongst groups composed
of ill dressed persons, who appeared dis
posed to protect him. In his flight he
threw down the pistol which he had fired,
and a second pistol which was loaded.
The ball grazed the hat of M. Gabriel
Delessert, Aide Major General of the Na
tional Guards, who formed part of the
procession. Disclosures made to the
authorities have been the means of tra
cing the assassin and a conspiracy of
which he was to have been the instrument.
