Uncle Ben's Bam.
BY BILL BKAMBLE.
Uncle Ben was a queer old man-—
A queer old man was he;
He owned a ram—a butting ram;
In fnct his butting propensities promp-
ted liim to butt at everything buttable ho could
see.
Uncle Ben liad a fat old spouse,
A fat old wife was she;
Who used to feed and pale his cows,
That came up into tho lawn every night,
.and stood under a largo pear tree.
This fat old wife never used a stool;
To milk would ne'er sit down;
And though Old Ben called her a fool,
Yet she would never hearken unto his
advice, but to reciprocate the favor, would say
he was a clown.
But one sad morn as brindle stood,
Beneath the stately pear,
Old Beu's wile, in merry mood,
Was milking her—occupying her usual
position, with her nether extremity a little
elevated in the air.
The ram and Ben tho fnct espied,
And loudly Ben did shout,
'Squat down! squat down,' he sternly cried,
But she didn't hear him, and before he
could interfere, the ram had turned his fat old
wife inside out.
Now uncle Ben was vory wroth,
Ah 1 very wroth was he;
He took the grindstone from his trough,
And tying a rope to it, hung it on a
i Jiiub of -tta.oid.pcar tree.
Then, like a heavy pendulum, .
He swung that mighty rock,
Which seemed to say, " I'm up to fun,
Mr. Ram, so just 'come in,' will you,
. y jland take an affectionate knock."
Right briskly then the fight begun;
?$•; The stone would not " give in,"
And Ben's old ram would yield to none,
So he butted all day, and when uncle
Ben went to bed, he was still butting like all
sin.
But when old Ben arose next day,
And went into the lawn,
The ram had butted himself all away,
And everything under heaven, but
about two inches of his tail, used up—com-
pletely gone.
A Stoky with a Moiial.—Many years ago
a merchant, worth near a million of dollars,
stood upon a wharf, watching the approach of
a rich snip, just arriving in port, of which he
\vns the owner. He was elevated with his good
fortune, 'and looked lofty and arrogant. A
poor seaman, suffering under grievous mala-
iHck stood near, and having experienced how
changeful is life, ho ventured to tell the trium-
phant merchant that "riches had wings."
"Pooh!" said the merchant, "there, you
sec that diamond ring I take from my finger?
See. me fling it into the river. As well may
you expect ever to see that ring again, as to
see me a poor man."
Sorno days afterwards, the merchant gave a
prcat dinner to his friends. Among the luxu-
ries provided for the feast, was a salmon, from
the river.
The cook happening to open tho Btomach of
the sulmon, found there, to her great surprise,
the merchant's diamond ring. She carried it
to him. His countenance fell, for he remem-
bered his boastful language.
Tho dinner was heartless and tedious to him.
The rich wines only made his thoughts the
inore poignant. He slept none that night—
He became "an altered man." His specula-
tions were all unfortunate. Loss succeeded
loss; and in a few years he was a poor man.
Wealth is the gift of God, and given for a
good-purpose. Not to be squandered—not to
lnuke its possessor hard of heart; but to teach
hint benevolence, to enable him to benefit his
, lei low men.
How to Make Love.—A bashful gentleman,
who had for some time admired a lady without
daring to disclose his passion, sitting near to
her one Sunday at church, hit upon the follow-
ing method of declaring it: Taking up his
Bible, be handed it over to her, having first
turned down a leaf upon which lie bad mark-
ed with a pencil the following, in the Epistle of
St. John, 2d chapter, 5th verse: " And now
I bescech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a
(vonurinndment unto thee, but that which we
liad from the beginning, tliat we love onean-
othcr." The lady in a few minutes returned
it with this passage turned down and marked
-'(Ruth, 1st chapter, 16th verse): "Whith-
er thou goest I will go; where thou lod|_
will lodge; thy people shall bo my people;
God my God. Where thou diest I will
ami there will I be buried also. The Lord do
so to me, and more also, if aught but death
port thee and me."
People often make atrange mistakes an to
the nature of angola. They are apt (o talk of
women as " angelsyet, there is not a word
in the bible about female angels—they arc
always ol the other sex.
Ben. JoMing** Description of a Walts.
The follówing " side splitter," illustrative of
a rough-and-ready Yankee sailor's idea of a
fashionable waltz, is from the Southern Star.
It shoulcrbe read by every one afflicted with
the "blues." We do not think that even those
.|1 00 jwrho especially affect " polking" can take ex-
ceptions to it.
When we got into tho place, we found a
a meetin' house,
great large room, as big as a
lighted up with smash in'big
all over with glass hangings.
nps, coi
glass hangings. The ladies look-
little angels, their faces as white
them in a flour barrel; such
over
ed as nice as
as if they dH
red cheeks 1 hairit seen in all Sleepy Holló ;
their arms all covered with gold bands, chains,
and shiny beads; such lips you never did see
—they looked " come-kiss-me-all-over;" their
eyea looked like diamonds; their waists drawn
to the size of a pipe stem; and made to look
like they were undergoing a regular Cutin'-in
operation by tyin'a string tight round
em; and the bosims—oh, lordy f all covered
two

up with laces an muslins, they rose, then fell,
then rose again, like—oh I1 don't know what
it was like, exceptin' the breathin' of a snowy
white goose, chucked in a tight bag with its
breast oat!
up
big horn and a little horn, a big flute and a
little flute, a big fiddle and a little fiddle, and
such a squeaking squallin', bellowin' groanin' I
never heard before; it was like all the rats,
pigs and frogs in Christendom had concluded
to sing together. They called it a German
Poker. I 'spose' it was made by some of them
Cincinnati Germans, ih imitation of thc squeal-
in' at a pork packery, and I guess it was a
pretty good imitation.
So soon as the music struck up,such a sight!
The fellers caught the gals right around the
waist with one hand, and pulled them right
smack up in kissen order, with the gals' bo-
soms agin their bosoms, and tho gals' chins
rcstin' on tho fellers' shoulders. At this the
gals began to sorter jump and caper,like they
were agoin' to push 'cm away; but tho fellers
just caught hold of the other hand and held it
off, and began to jump and caper, too, just like
the gals.
I 6\vou upon a stack of bibles you never
seed such a sight! There was some two doz-
en gals held tight in tho arms of them fellers
—they a rarin' and jumpin' and pushin' 'em
backwards over the room, (as I thought tryin'
to got away from them,) and the fellers holdin
on to 'em tighter and tighter; the more the
gals jumped and capered, the tighter the:
squeezed the gals, till at last I began to
the tiling was bein' carried On too far fc
I was a little green in these matters, arid sec-
I
w nun-
agcsti
52'i7
'art of ttys gals. So my dander kept risiri!
ligher and higher, till I thought my biler
would bust unless I let out steam! I bounc-
ed smack into the middle oS the room. "Thun-
der and lightening! every body come hero with
shot guns, six-shooters, and butcher knives 1"
bawled I, at the top of my voice; "for I will
be shot if any dad-blasted, long-bearded feller
shall impose on gals that ar where I am I" and
I was just going to pitch right into'em pro-
miscuously, when my merchant caught me by
the arm, and said, " stop Ben." " I'll be cuss-
ed," says I, " if I will see the wimrain' folks
imposed on! Look what them fellers are do-
in' and how hard the gals are rarin' and pitoh-
in' to jfet away from em! Do you s'pose' I
can stand still aB a little post and see gals suf-
fer so*? Look," says I, " there's a gal almost
broken down, and ready to give up to that
'rangotang of a feller! Yonder is another,
so'faint her head has fallen on the bosom of
the monster!" I tell youPwas ashy, I felt
like I could jump into 'em like a catamount
into a pig-pen.
When I looked into my merchant's face, I
thought he would have busted. He laft and
laft, and squatted down and laft. "Why,"
saya he, "Ben, that is nothing but the red
war waltz they are dancin' and them gals aint
tryin' to get away from them fellers—they are
only caperin' to make the fellers hold 'cm tight-
er, kase they like it. The more the gals caper
the tighter they wish to be squeezed. As
to layin' their heads on the fellers' bosoms
that's very common in this city. They expect
to be married somoof these days, and they
want to bo accustomed to it, so they won't be
a blushin' and turnin' pale when the parson
tells the groom to salute the bride. There is
nothin' like bein' used to such things."
" You may take my hat," says I to .my mer-
chant ; "I was tuck in that time.'' I tell you
though it was the first time I ever seed tho
like before. I have seen the Indian hug itttd
the Congo dance, but I teD you this red war
waltz knocks the crown out of every thing I
ever seed. j •• •.«! ';<> ?t>
After I had got out of the way and every
thing commenced goin' on agin, the music grit
faster and fester. Oh, it was as fast and fu-
rious as a nor-wester! The gals rarcd agin,
the fellers hugged tighter, And thCmusiomak-
erfi puffed out a blown'. -Then the gals and
fellers spun round like so many tops run mad.
The fellers leaned back and the gals leaned to
'em; the gals' fine frocks sailed out and pop-
ped in the air like sheets on «clothesline of a
windy day, and the fellers' coat tails stood out
so straight that an egg would not have rolled
off; their faces were as fixed and serious as*
sarment Around they went—it makes me
so dizzy to think of it. .Pop wont the coat
tails, crash went the music, and pitty patty,
rump dumple do dump went the feet of alb—-
By and by, as beautiful a craft as ever you
seed hi the shape of a woman, laying close up-
on a long bean pole lookin' feller, came sailin'
at the rate of fifteen knots an hour xlown our
way, whilst a fat dumpy woman arid a hump
shouldered, beaf-eaten' sort of a feller, at the
i speed went up the other. I iced there
to be some bumpin' and naturally trem-
bled for the consequences. Sure enough ca-
wballop, they aune together,.and slapdash
the whole on 'em feH flat in the middle of the
floor carryin' along with them every body
standin' near.

Extraordinary Scene in an Indiana Coprt.
The Richmond (Indiana) Palladium gives
the following account of a very singular Scene
which recently occurred on the opening of the
Court in New Castle, Henry county:
At New Castle, we found quite an excite-

of, this circuit, Hon. Judge Anthony. Tne
court met on Monday morning, but, before
proceeding to business, a member of the Hen-
ry county bar presented a petition, signed by
presented the petition stated however, that in
case he could not. resign, the petitioners had
agreed among themselveB that they would not
do any business in the court as long as he pre-
sided^ Another gentleman addressed the court
re asserting the determination they had agreed
to, and urged in'very plain terms the necessi-
ty of a resignation. Another followed, ex-
pressing the high personal respect he enter-
tained for the Judge %s a man and á tavern-
keeper, but justice required hjm to say that he
regarded the present incumbent of uie bfench
as utterly unqualified for the place he occupi-
ed, and hoped he would resign. ; He was fol-
lowed by another, and then by another,, and
he by another, until every member bad <
