Curing bacon is like the Irishman's mode of

Just so with curing bacon; after following the

What is tiik Prick of Ditcks? A gentle
man asked: "What is the price of dncks?"
Then he confessed he could not tell. He had
U: an out that very day with his wife, and he
l'iij purchased no fewer than three ducks.
Firstly, there was a "duck of a dress;" secoiidl'
a "duck of a parasol ;" and thirdly, n "dnck of
n bonnet." The first was made of Genoa velvet,
the second was trimmed with Yaleneienncs
lace, and the third had a magnificent bunch of
ostrich feathers. The united cost of these pre
cious "ducks" was $275, so that each "duck"
luid stood liim no less than $91 and a few
shillings apiece. He supposed there were
"ducks" to be had in market cheaper, but for
himself whe'n he hears his wife mention the
word "duck" he always trembles from head to
foot, for lie knows at once that it means some
thing inordinately expensive.

Cromwell's Speech. The following arc the
very words spoken by Oliver Cromwell to the
Long Parliament. The document was found
among sonic old documents which had belonged
to the Cromwell family:
Spoken by Cromwell when he put an end to
the Long Parliament, 1653.
"It is high time- for me to put an end to your
itting in this- place, which ye have dishonored
by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by
the practice of every vice. Ye are a pack of
mercenary wretches, and would, like Esau, sell
your country for a mess of pottage; and like
Judas, butray your God for a few pieces of
money! Is there one vice which ye do not
possess? Ye have no more religion than iny
horse Gold i-s 3"Our god which of you have
not bartered away your conscience for bribes?
Is there atnau among you that hath the least
care for the good of the commonwealth? Ye
sordid prostitutes! have ye not defiled this

pass without a dissenting voice. Such a
tribute will show that Texas treasures the
memory of those patriot heroes who so nobly
offered np their lives on the altar of her inde
pendence. On that honored list the name of
Davy Crockett stands first and most gloiTuns.
We shall never forget tiie last time we saw
him. It was in the fall of 1835. Whilst en
route for the Alamo, he sojourned for a few
days with the father of the writer, his old per-

The cracking dawn of the revolution had just
commenced. Doubts and misgiving prevaded
the public mind. The odds against us were
truly fearful, and many thought the enterprise
hopeless and rash. Not so with Davy Crockett.
He knew no such word as fail, and harbored no
doubt or misgiving as to the glorious result.
We remember his words of hope and eteourage
ment that animated the most desponding hearts
the visions of glory in which he indulged; the
pictures of a happy, prosperous a id glorious
future which he drew of the future Republic.
He seemed to revel by anticipation in the glo
rious strife that awaited him, and to snuff ti e
battle from afar off. He is painted before us
nw nc be appeared to our youthful mind his
museular form towering to its majestic height,
his kindling ye flashed with excitement, uu
m-i.- bosom swelling with emotion, as he
dwelt on the coming contest, aud with his san
guine temperament -admitting no aouois, poiui
cd out a successful and glorious termination to
the revolution, and a happy and prosperous
career to the Republic. No premonitory fore
boding warned him of his impending fate, but
he l-iuThed to scorn all ideas of harm or danger
of himself. The last words we ever beard from
Davy Crockett, as mounted on his horse, with
his faithful rifle on his shoulder, were, memora
hi ..! characteristic: "I'm as good for Santa
Anna's scalp as a ninepence is for a dram.'

A sad sight. A mother and child frozcn?to
death. The subjoined is copied from the Scho
harie (New York) Patriot:
"We learn from John Brooks, Esq., deputy
sheriff of this coimtr ' livinir in the town of
Broome, that on the 8th of January, Mr Joseph
Thompson of that town, having occasion to go
to a mill about four miles distant, left home for
that purpose. His wife informed him on
leaving that she was going to a quilting at Mr
Reed's about three quarters of smile fromibeir
residence. Her husband told her to remain .
there until his return, and he would call for her.
She went, taking with her three children one
a boy abont seven years old, nn infant about
.;..,e month. oXl, pwd sister' child ahoofc. .
f m(. - P4,ficifc lwl i(
women ' present, ainl laid his hand ; on Mrs
Tliompsoii, when she slapped him in the face,
at which he threw her on' the fire. "A son of
Reed, a young man, interfered to protect the
woman, when a scuffle ensned between them, in
which the young man had his leg broken.
. "Mrs; Thompson now left the house, it being
about Go'cloefc. fearinr to remain lonircr. and
d'rectet ',er wa7 ac ross 'ots fr ner home. The
night was intensely cold, and when about half
way irom lier House the little boy became so
cold as to be unable to go further, and laid
down in the snow. The mother with her baby
crouched down beside him, and told the little
girl to lie down with her. The girl did so, and
they all lay there till morning.
"Mr Thompson, on arriving at home, took a
lantern and went in search of his wife and
children.
"The girl, who survived, said she saw a light
in a house at some distance ' from them, bnfc
she dare not make a noise for fear Reed would
come and kill them. At daylight this girl was
still able to walk, and wandered off till she got
within sight of Justus Ilagadom's house, when
she was discovered, and brought into the house.
When able to speak, she informed the family
where and how she had passed the night. Mrs.
Thompson and the little boy were found frozen
to death; the infant when found, was not frozen
but dead. The little girl will survive, with tho
loss of two of her toes on each of her feet."
A Si.avk TKAPEit int Chixa. The Friend of.
China, received by the last steamer, says:
Very few coasting vessels ever leave Shan
ghai or Niugpo without an assorted lot of boys
thrown in to make up the cargo. The traffic
in girls is still more general, in consequence of
the prevalence of infanticide, which counten
ances the murder of female infants as soon as
they are bom. We hear of one hundred girls
ready for shipment at one place, for the scgar
factory at Manilla, and an order for two thou
sand girls for Cuba has lately been received.

Tin: Maiivi.avd Lotteries. That species of
gambling legalized in Maryland under the per
mission to vend Lottery policies, is a severe
infliction upon the country, beyond the limits
of that State; but in such places as Baltimore,
nearer the source of the evil, its pernicious
effects are most apparent. The Baltimore Pa
triot represents them as deplorable. Speaking
of the manner in which the venders of policies
operate in that city, the Patriot says: -
t'They taken)) bets to any amount, from three
cents upwards,, that a certain number in a
specified lottery will not be drawn from the
wheel. If the number is drawn, they agree to
pay. four, times., the amount their victim has
betted. If the better not only lays his wager
that a particular uumber will be drawn, but
also indicates its peculiar position in the draw
ings they promise to pay him sixty times the
amount of his bet all of which, if he happens,
for a wonder, to be successful, lie may get if
he can. .For several consecutive weeks during
the past year, the mania ran on the number 19.
Fifty-one d ra vings look place before it made its
appearand In one day, five thousand dollars
in small sums, were received for bets on this
particular number; and the whole amount real
ized during the run is said to have amounted
to upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars.
During the Christmas week, a single policy
shop took bets on No. 19 alone to the amount
of, nine tliousand dollars.
. "It is high time' that these infamous practices
encouraged by white men and carried out
chiefly by negroes, should be subjected to sum
mary punishment. The evils. which enure from
them to society are manifold, and are daily in
creasing. The distress produced among the
lower classes of society by this abominable
traffic is beyond conception, whie its ntimate
consequences nre, crime, madness, and a dision-
Tho State of Maryland derives an annual in
come of $21,000 from Lottery licenses, but the
Legislature has wisely provided for the extinc
tion of the whole system in that State, after
the expiration of the term for which the present
Lottery grants were issued.
DiscoN-cEimxG an Orator. It is an aston
ishing thing how little a matter will sometimes
disconcert a man who is accustomed to 'speak
in public, and to have his thoughts about him',
and ready at command on almost all occasions.
"I was once opening a speech from the stump7
said a distinguished western political orator to
us recently, "and was just beginning to warm
with my subject, when a remarkably clear and
deliberate voice spoke out behind me, saying:
"Guess he wouldn't talk quite so - hifalnting
if he knew that his trowscrs was bu'st clean oat
behind!" -
"Front that moment I couldn't 'get on.' t The
people in front began to laugh, and there was a
loud roar iu my rear, and I dared not reverse
my position, for fear of having a new audience
of my condition. I made, or rather invented8,
an excuse for delay, and sat down. The mali
cious scoundrel V continued the orator; "it was
only a mean trick after all. . There was nothing
uuder heaveu the matter with my unmention
ables I". : .-
