These works have such a wide circulation, and have been so universally approved and sought after bv the public, that we deem it necessary only in this prospectus to say that tlicy will be continued at the next session of Congress, and to state, sue cini-tly. their contents, the tbm in which they will be published, and the prices for them. The Congressional Globe is made up of the dai lv proceedings of the two houses of Congress. The speeches of the members are condensed to bring them into a readable length. All the reso lutions ollered, or motions made, are given in the mover's own words; and the yeas and nays on all the important questions. It is printed with small type brevier and nonpariel on a double royal sheet, in quarto form, each number containing 16 royal quarto page?. The Appendix is made up of the PiesidcntTs annual message, the reports of the principal offi cers of the Goverment that accompany it. and all the long speeches of members of Congress, writ ten out or revised by themselves. It is printed in the same form as the Congressional Globe, and u sually makes about the same number of pages. As some persons wUo may receive tins puospeo tus may wish to subscribe for our regular papers, through which we speak to members of Congress and their constituents, we will here state that we Polish daily paper at $ 1 0 ; a semi-weekly paper at arm a weeniy paper, wmi to it, at $3 a year, payjple in advance. TERMS. For the Congressional Globe, 1 per copy. For the Appendix, $1 per copy.

'By accident,' continued the postil lion. 'I was firing at a bush, and the beast ran across my aim, all of his own- accord.' The gamekeeper tells a different story,' replied bus lordship. 'Och! don't put faith in what that man says,' said Tim Ryan, 'when he never cares about spaking the truth, any how. He told me t'other day yer lordship was not so fit to fill the chair of justice as a jack-ass!' 'Ay, ay,' ex claimed Viscount Ktlskiddery, indeed, and what did you say?' Plaise yer lordship, I said yer lordship was! i From the Hartford Times. The last Procession. Mcthought at eventide I paused, One cold November day, Where dry and grim an "ash-pole" stood, Like ghost beside the way ; When on mine ear a wail arose, And slowly o'er mine eye, With solemn tread a lengthened train, In funeral guise, swept by. First, with a face whose depth of gloom Ambition's blight had cast, The "Mill-Boy of the Slashes" moved The chiefest mourner past ; And then to soothe his rising grief, With sympathetic tear, With solemn air, so meek and good, Walked Frelinghuysen near. With u branding-iron" in each hand, From his far travels come, Unsolaced in his deep despair, Stalked "Roorback," dard and glum ; While dolorous upon the breeze, All wheezingly and wide, Like his own windy bellows, the " Poughkeepsic blacksmith" sighed. And then that " coach expresdy built," And decked with silk and gold, The great "embodiment" to bear, With sullen motion rolled ; And as along the dusky way Its darkening course it kept, Beside it, with his Clay Tribune," Poor Greeley walked and wept Then thronged a long and dismal host, A thousand men or mere, And each upon a frowzy rag A scurvy motto bore ; And colporteurs, with "Junius" tracts, A crushing, weary load. Bent down with weariness and woe, In sad procession trode. And so-ely on his wounded calf, With tear-drops in his eye, The great god-father of the "Whigs," Th' immortal Webb, limped by ; A doleful dirge Joe Hoxie sang, Amidst that sorrowing train, And "Glee Clubs" and '-'Clay minstrels" joined The melancholy strain. And thus they passed in long array, Ai evening's sombre hour. And grief was heavy on each heart, With its o'crmastering power ; For broken, "bnstcd," "gone to pot," Exploded, vanished, fled, The great Whig party was no more "That same old Coon" was dead Who is Mrs. James K. Polk ? The Whigs were at first at some loss to know something about the President Elect. The enquiry ran thro' their papers, M Who is James K. Poll?" Since the people found out who he is, and since the whigs now know him to be the President Elect of the United States since they know that he is the stone carved out of the mountain, without hands, which smote the image upon his feet, that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces" since they know who James K. Polk is, and are des tined to know much more of the man, who is armed by the authority of the peo- pie with the highest off:;e in the Republic, another enquiry has been started, " Who is Mrs. James K. Polk ?" Upon this sub ject, as married ladies change their names without losing their virtues, some more dif ficulty has been experienced and the ques tion is running the rounds through the pa- pers. Some error has been committed up - on this subject, and the lady has almost been as much mistaken as the master of the household. We have already pub lished a paragraph, that her maiden name was Easton, but this is corrected in the following paragraph from a Northern pa per : The President's Lady. We are in formed, that the article published in our paper of Wednesday last, and copied from one in Philadelphia, m relation to the ear-j greatly superior. Here then are three bat ly connexions of Mrs. Polk, is not correct, j ties, not to name more, which were fought Mrs. Polk, the lady of the President Elect, ! on the sabbath, and in each case the force was not Miss Easton, a member of Gen'l 1 which began the attack were defeated.

They were all distinguished by beauty, grace, and accomplishments. They combined to throw a charm around the private hospi talities of the President, ana they gave brilliancy to his public levees.

With great dignity of person and manner, she possesses rare cul tivation of mind, and the greater affection? of the heart, which at once command re- spect and inspire esteem." We understand that Mrs. Polk's maiden ie was Childress, the daughter of Judge Idiess of Tennessee. Thev have no cmwren, and thus the President Elect is . . able to devote more of his precious time to the interests of his country. Our peo ple must be his children, as it has been wah so many of his predecessors ; whilst she niay dedicate her taste and talents to grace the station to which an enlightened people have called her fcusband, and to smooth off the asperities which still pre vail among the great parties of our country. Hoe tibi erunt artes. We understand, by a gentleman who lives in Columbia- (the place of Col. Polk's residence,) that he is eminently respected for his private virtues, and she for her amiable and attractive cha racter. Richmond Enquirer. A Charming Portrait. Gaze into a pure fountain in the moment in which day divides itself from night ; see the magic light of morning at once mirroring itself there in with the heaven and its glittering stars, and thou has an image of Nina's soul. So pure was she so gleamed in the depths oi her being ever eternal truth. But all this sweet splendor broke as thro' a twilight; it was a foretelling of light, not of light itself. She was the original man as man in his innocence in his first, holy beauty. Her soul seemed to be one with the beautiful body, it belonged to it, and appeared mo! ton in it. Her manner possessed that charming repose, which nothing ol self-consciousness can counter feit. Unconstrained but modest, she was still self-collected. It gave sweet tranquili ty to the mind and to the eye to contemplate her. How beautiful and harmonious were the movements of her tender arm, of her fine white hand ; her gait how floating, how quiet and noble! It would be difficult to give a description of the beauties and charms of her countenance ; but he who has seen the pure finely arched brow made radiant, silken soft hair, the wonderful eve beneath their dark lashes, the small Gre- cian nose. tl? bewitching mouth, the sweet oval of her face, and the dazzling fair skin must have declared with Miss Greta, that she was the loveliest creature of God's creation. Her eyes had the same form as those of Iter sister Adelaide, but with a much less lively glance. Over Nina's dark blue eye, lay, as it were, a mist of twilight, whose magic was indescribable. Something pensive, something dreamy, lay in her glance. No clear day, no gay life, spoke out of it; but something fore boding, something of an inward emotion. When she listened to the words of anoth er, she had the most amiable expression of present sympathy; and when she answered in her own manner, rather slowly, but in the most delicious tones of voice, one learned then to estimate one of the most beautiful, but commonly most neglected, of God's gifts to man. Southey. Battle's on the Sabbath. Great men , and military men, of whom it has been said of the latter, "they know no sabbath. are no more justified in violating the sab bath on a large scale than on a small one, no more than the most humble in the land. The battle of Waterloo was fought on the sabbath, and Napoleon who began it was 1 defeated. The battle of New Orleans was j fought on the sabbath, and the British ar my, who began the battle were defeated with terrible slaughter. The naval battle fought by commodore McDonough with the British fleet on lake Champlain, took place on the sabbath. The British began the attack and were defeated, although their force was so great that it was a mat ter of wonder that a small American force should have been able to capture a force soj way be accounted for. Christian Repert. How to catch Crows. Wilson, in his American Ornithology, says that crows have been employed to catch crows, by the following .stratagem: A live crow is pinned by the wings down to the groOon his back by means 0 forked stick-. Thus situated his I cries are loud and incessant, particularly 'if any other crows are within view. 1 hese , " . ... sweeping down about him, are instantly gTappted and held fast by the prostrate .1 . .

This method of catching i crows is, I believe practiced in some parts j of England to catch jay, b. make most violent outcry when pinned to the ground. What is Providence. BY MIS 3 SEDGWICK. Take, for example, a young girl, bread delicately in town, shut up in a nursery in her childhood in a boarding school thro' her youth, never aecustimed either to air or exercise, two things that the w of God maa.o toot 111101 tu iiuauiii OilC IllUlTlcs I , ., , , , , her strength is inadequate to the demands upon it. Her beauty lades early. She languishes through her hard offices of giv ing birth to children, suckling and watching over them, and dies early. W hat a strange Providence, that a mother should be taken, in the midst of life, from her children." Was it Providence? No! Providence has assigned her three score years and ten; a term long enough to rear her children, and to see her children's children; but she did not obey the laws on which life de pend? , and of course she lost it. A father, too, is cut off in the midst of his days. He is a useful and distinguished citizen, and eminent in his profession. A general buz rises, on every side, of "What striking Providence." This man has been in the habit of studying half the night, of passing his days in his office and the courts, of eating luxurious dinners, and drinking various wines. He has every day violated the laws on which health de pends. Did Providence cut him off? The evil rarely ends here. The diseases of the father are often transmitted ; and a feeble mother rarely leaves behind her vig orous children. It has been customary in some of our cities, for young ladies to walk in thin shoes and delicate stockings in mid win ter. A healthy blosoming young girl, thus dressed in violation of Heaven's laws, pays the penalty; a cheched circulation, cold, fever, and death. "What a sad Provi dence!" ej&claim her friends. Was itProv idence, or her own lolly ? A beautiful young bride goes, night after night, to parties made in honor of her mar riage. She Ivas a slightly soar throat, per haps, and the weather is inclement: but Me musi wear ,,er ana arms Dare 1 - , 1 t t. : - t lor 8aw a bride m a dose evening dress? She is consequently seized with an inflammation of the lungs, and tHegiave receives her before her bridal days are o ver "What a Providence!" exclaims the vorld. "Cut off in the midst of happit ness and hope!" Alas, did she Hot cu the thread of life herself! A girl in the country exposed to our changeful climate, gets a new bonnet in stead of getting a flannel garment. A rheumatism is the consequence. Should the girl set down tranquilly with the idea that Providence had sent the rheumatism upon her, or should she charge it on her vanity, and avoid the folly in future T Look, my young friends, at the mass of diseases that are incurred by intemperance in eating or drinking, or in study, orin bu siness; also being caused often by neglect of exercise, cleanliness, pure air, by indis creet dressing, tight lacing, &c, and all is quietly imputed to Providence! Is there not impiety as well as ignorance in this ? Were the physical laws strictly observed from generation to generation, there would be an end to the frightful diseases that cut life short, and of the long list of maladies that make life a torment of trial. It is the opinion of those who best understand the physical system, and this wonderful ma chine, the body, this goodly temple, would gradually decay, and men would die as if falling asleep. The First Wedding. Major Noah thus pleasntly and philoso phically discourses upon the "first wed ding." He says : We like short courtships, and in this, Adam acted like a sensible man he fell asleep a bachelor and awoke to find him sc4f a married man. He appears to have popped the question almost immediately after meeting Md'le Eve, and she, without auy flirtation or si; y ness, gave him a kiss and hen elf. Of that fiist kiss in this world we have had, however, our own thoughts, and sometimes in a poetical mood have wished we were the man 'what did it.' But the deed is done thecha'.ice was Adam's and he improved it. We like lhe notion of getting married in a garden. It is in good .taste. We like a 0 private wedding. Adam's was private. No envious beaux were there; no croaking old maids; no chattering a tin Is arid grumbling grandmothers. The birds of Heaven were the minstrels, and the glad sky flung its lights upon the scene. , . "One thing about the first wedding brings queer things to us, in spite of its Scriptural truth. Adam and his wife were rather young' to :r5fe married -some two or three days old, according to the safest speculations of theologians mere babies larger but not older without experience, without a house, without a pot or kettle, nothing but love and Eden. Population nf Buffalo, N. Y. By a recent centos, we tee that the population of Buffalo is now 26,000, an increase of s,000 since UBiO.

Jl l'i ..v face for one minute fas he stood next fheV for the thick smoke, and the next 1 found him choaking. retching and vomiting .lfi the agonies of death, and clutching my ve ry feet. Sometimes a shot went tearing through our ranks, and almost shaking the. part of (he square where I had been for some hours standing, seeming to loosen our files as it knocked the poor fellows head over heels, like ninepins on a bowling green; and, then we heard the familiar tones of the old Colonel, to prepare for cavalry as these devilish cuirassiers poured upon us, and we were wedged together into a wall of iron again to receive them. Thate all I kno w about my feelings, sir,' said the old soldier, tit was a terrible sight, and awful to look upon. It was hell upon earth,' he muttered, as he resumed hie spade, and commenced digging with en ergy. United Service Magazine. Marriage Outright.- In one of the up per counties of the Slate ol North Carolina, a young Iellow . named Ben Sykes, had courted a fair one for socne years, but eith er was not ready or willing to put. the qustion; she was fully willing perhaps too wining Din lie never come to tne scratch.' At last she jot mad, and said she would marry Bill Patterson, if he ever courted her again. Bill, on hearing of this determination, went once more and put his claim;he was a scurvy fello w in somethings, and neither 'ma ma' nor 'dad' was willing to it. So he secretly goes to R , got a license, and that night made off for a Gretna squire. In their road to happiness, however, who should they meet but Ben Sykes. He had got an inkling of what was going on; and when he met them he understood how the case lay. 'Sally,' says he, kI have fooled you, that's a fact, & I am sorry for it. But if you still prefer me to Bill Patterson, just say so, and I will give him a thrashing, take his li cense, .and old Moody shall marry us to night. .The old love was too strong for the new. Beij'gaVe Bill a thrashing, took his galr' and (what lie haled more) his license, which cost him 75 cents, and was off with hi(f)ludder to Moody's. The old squire did not so welt understend how one man could be married ef a license granted to another. Ben said he did not himself un derstand the law quibbles,' but this he did know, that unless he did it, he (the sqeire) would catch it too. This hint was enough for Moody, who, whithout more ado, pro nounced them man and wife. Political Courtship. The following little story, (says the Bait,; Sun,) which belongs to lhe New York Mercury, is de cidedly one of the best things produced du ring the. late campaign, and inasmuch as all the States hereabouts have concluded their labors with the Presidential contest, we think we shall run no risk of overset ting the Constitution, or treading upon the most fastidious toe in the universe, by af fording our readers a chance for Uie same hearty laugh into which we were betrayed,' spite of the multitude of units, tens and thousands, which the election returns are constantly whirling through our inner man Herei the anecdote ir , .. , . 1 Jonathan walks in, takes a seat, and' looks at Sukey.
