He paasad thro’ the yard and overtb* style.
Tbs big dog barbed as ha went along by.
And followed hiui near a mile,
And be eat him down on a hickory log,
And whittled a lively tune, this boy,
Which took the ear of the barking dog,
And he wagged his tail for joy.
The beetle stopped from pinching the fly,
And the toad in his bole stood still,
And the tom-tit heard with & tear in his eye,
And a fishing-worm In his bill,
And the grasshopper said, “ 1 know that air,’1
But I cannot whistle it so—
The tune of the msn with no hair on bis bead,
Where hair ever ought to gijnw.
Anecdote.—A Washington corres
pondent of the Cleveland PlainJealer,
under date of February 4, notes a visit
to the White House, says the President
did his full share of joking and telling
anecdotes, among which he says he re
lated an anecdote of an eminent lawyer
of Pittsburg, which was well told and will
bear repeating. James Ross was fitted
first for the ministry, and being about to
preach his trial sermon, which he had
committed to memory, he went to the
woods alone, as he supposed, for the last
rehearsal. A venerable old patriarch of
the church, Father McMillan, suspecting
Ross’ intention as well as bis piety, fol
lowed at a safe distance, and, creeping up
behind the ambitious youth, stood secreted
behind a tree. Ross spread himself, and
finally wound up with “Amen! I’ll be
damn’d if that won’t just suit old McMil
lan," and wheeling on his heel, old Mc
Millan stood before him. “ No James
Ross,” said the old man, “ that does not
just suit old McMillan, nor will you do
for a preacher.” Ross reviewed the evi
dence of his calling, and concluded that
(be law was “just the thing for him.”
