ICurr, Poking al Gt-mexnl Fremont Butyouhavo yet to learn my boy, what was the great reason for sending Fremont to tbe everlasting hills. Ou Tuesday, I asked a knowing veteran at Willard's what it really was. He looked at me a moment in immovable silence ; then he softly placed bis spoon gyiniiasyum ou a table, looked cautiously in all directions, crept tip to my ear on tiptoe, and says he: " Ferriages!" "Son of a bottle !" says I, "your information is about as intelligible as the ordinary remarks of Ralph Waldo Emerson." The knowing veterau suffered his nose to take a steam bath for a moment, aud then says be ; "Kerridges? Kerridges with six horses and the American ilag flying out of the back window Fremont's great mistake in the west was ker I season Humors of tlio War— X Practical Jo I*e. The soldiers in Kentucky arc famous for practical jokes, and are constantly on tbe lookout for subjects. Oue was recently procured in the person of a new teamster, who had the charge of six large, shagicy mules. Jehu was also proprietor of two bottles of old Bourbon—a contraband in camp —whieh a wag discovered, and resolved, to possess. Being aware that tlio dri<*er'a presence was an impediment to tho theft, be hit upon tbe following plan to get rid of him. Approaching the driver who waa busy currying hia mules, ho accosted him with, "I Bay, old fellow, what are you doing there now?" " Can't you see!" said Jehu gruffly. Certainly," said tbe wag, "but that is not r busiuese. It is after tattoo, and there is a fellow hired here by the Geueral, who curries al the mu'ea and horses brought in after tattoo." The mule driver bit at ouce, and wanted to know where the "hair dresser" kept himself.— Whereupon he was directed to Gen. Nelson's tenti with the assurance that there was where hung out.:' " You cau't mistake the man." said the wag—"he is a large fellow, and puts on a thundering sight of aits for a mau in his low business. He will probably refuse to do it. and tell you to go lo the devil, but don't you mind that; hi been drinking to day. Make him come out, **■ Jehu posted off, entered the tent where our Nai.iol.-on of the 4th Division sat in deep reverie probably considering the most expeditious method of expelling the rebel General Buckner troi native State, slapped him on tbe back with force sufficient to annihilate a man of ordinary size. Springing to his feet tho General accosted his uuiuvited guest with: "Well, sir, who aro you, uud what the devil do you want?" "Old boss, I've got a job for you now, six mules to be curried, and ri*- bt off, too," aud the captain ot mules, nothing dauuted at the flashing eyes ofthe General. " Do you know whom you arc addressing, Bir?: "Yes," said Jehu, elevating his voice to a pitch which rendered tho words audible a squ off, "yon are the fellow hired by Uncle Sam to clcau mules, and I won't have nuy foolishness- Clean them mules, and I'll give you a drink oi busthead." You infernal villian," exclaimed the General, ' perfectly furious, "I am Gen. Nelson, the commander of this Division." Jehu placed the thumb of bis right hand against e nose, and extending his lingers, moved them slowly, in a manner supposed by some to be indicative of great wisdom. The General's sword leaped from its scabbard, and Jehu from the tent just in time to save bis head. Our boys drank the big mule driver's health in Bourbon.

Who would marry a woman who puuetuates her love letters. Cupid is blind to everything—save pin-mor.ey. In society, compliments are loans, which the lenders expect to be paid with heavy interest, Praise woman's taste, aud you may attack her sense with impunity. Your candid friend has never anything pleasant to say to you. Ho reminds you of hia pet virtue by wounding you with it. If you want to know a woman's true character, linger after the guests are goue, and listen to what she has to say about them. A woman wins an old man by listening to him ; and a young man by talking to him. Enjoy to-day, for to-morrow the first grey hair may come. Hymen is only Cupid in curl papers. Women confess little faults, that their candor may cover greater ones. There are no reasons which explain love, but a thousand which explain marriage.

Towards the end of 1806, on a fine autumnal morning, Napoleon waa reviewing his troops, dee- orated with tiie laurels of Figypt, Germany and Italy, and he had already passed the fronts of era! regiments, whose dangers aud fatigues ill the field ot battle be had so often witnessed and shared, when he arrived at the 6th hussars, so remarkable for its splendid appearance. His eagle eye soon perceiving a volunteer who was caracoling out of his rank, he immediately exclaimed :■ " Why Is this hussar not iu his place, sir?"asked he of the colonel, " bow is it that in a regiment which Hrequen'Jy quote us a model, such a want of discipline is permitted in my presence? Let the soldier bo put in arrest for eight days.'' "Sire," replied the colonel,''permit me to appeal against this severe sentence, and to solicit during tbat nisket-ball, captain, died at ig the eagle vic- mputated oti the field of slaughter, and Breton Double, respected and admired by her late enemies, was conducted to Dob* [ lio, where she was obliged to undergo a second amputation above the kttee. After passing six years iu this country, everywhere honored and treated hospitably, she returned to France on the death of Louis XV1II, furnished wilh certificates from the French consul at Dublin and the ainba-- sudor la London. From her long absence, it waa eoucUided that she bad bjan killed at Waterloo, and in consequence, the name of this woman, so worthy of the order of the Legion of Honor, was not retained in Ihe list of members. She eventually obtained from Charles X.. a penuion of 280 francs ; but the revolution of July, so benelic'ml to others, did but add to the misfortuncsof Breton Double, who was deprived of the means ol subsis'- bieu States. ____^_ Italy Prussia—thii-i*.

" Colonel let a troop advance, and let the brave Breton join Ac ranks." " The colonel directed tho movements, which were executed by Breton Double with so much ardor and precisiou, that the Emperor was delighted and surprised at witnessing a woman manage her horse with tbe vigor and courage of an old campaigner. -"lam satisfied with your zeal an3 ability," said the Emperor, " and appoint you regimental quarter-master; take this toward your dress," at the same time placing a Napoleon in her hand and ordering twenty-five additional to be given her. "Go and rejoin your squadron ; we shall meet again.'' '' Breton Double expressed her grateful thanks to the L'mperor. aod lost no time in taking tbe position to which, by her new rank she became entitled, amidst the congratuUvtiona and cheers of the numerous witnesses of the scene. Tho 6tb hussars shortly afterwards joined the corps of the army in Prussia, and the battle of Eylau afforded Breton Double an opportunity of distinguishing herself- The action had continued more than two- hours, when Breton Double, who was sent to th-e right wing with an order, rejoined her corps, perceiving that tbe troops were surrounded- by a large body of Prussians, courageously dashed through the enemy, Bword in hand, killed the commander, relieved her countrymen, and returned to the camp proudly displaying tbe sash o f the vanquished officer. Tbe Emperor having been informed of this gallant feat, directed a golden medal to be presented to her, wbich was received by our heroine with grateful and religions respect. Subsequently, in me.cf tbat the Miuister Of Wat was iu expectation of being enabled to satisfy all the demands she had on ber country for her long aud faithful services, by re-admitting her to (he Cross of wounTle^'Viuarter-master, and also the widow of a captain.

He retired to rest, at night under a tree and was suddenly awakened by the presence of a e rattlesnake. In the act of striking the reptile with the butt of his gun, it missed the snake, struck against a tree and was discharged, but fortunately causing Richmond no injury. Again using the gun, tho snake was, as Richmond supposed, killed, The young man then endeavored to 'get out of the wilderness," aud after proceeding aliout a mile heard a rustling behind him, and turning discovered that he was pursued by the •'identical" snake which be supposed he bad killed a few hours before. [!] This time he discharged his gun at the reptile uud blew liU head entirely oft'. Journeying onwards, his endeavors to extricate himself fioin the woods were unavailing and when nlghl fell be again "slept out." At an early hour in tba morning he was awakened by tho growl of a bear.— Arousing himself he fired and killed the monster al the first fire. The firing of his gun led to bis discovery by some trappers who kindly cared for lllm and after providing refreshments directed liim his journey.— Ottawa {Canada) Gazette DiSisanoixo OiVALOT.—An order for disbanding a cavalry regiment has been issued on the ground tbat this arm of the service is already too large, notwithstanding tbe couven-ijn of many of the enlisted cavalry into infantry regiments.

Franklin stepped up to one of the cases, and in a very brief space of time set up the following passage from the first chapter ol John : -'Nathaniel maid unto him, OftD any good thing come out of Nazareth J Philip said unto him, come nnd see." It was done so quickly, so accurately, and contained a delicate repoof, so appropriate and pe-Werful, thatitatonce gave him character and ■ifuuding witb all tbe office. —There will be five eclipses Eoupbss i-'on I8i& this year, as follows : 1.

lAFU'S -QUESTION.
Drifting away
Like mote on theBtream,
Xo day's disappointment
Yesterday'B dream;
Ever resolving—
Never to mend ;
Such is our progress :
Where is the end ?
Whirling away
Like leaf iu the wind,
Points of attachment
Left daily behind,
Fixed to no principle,
Fast to no (rieod ;
Such our fidelity !
Where is the end '.'
Floating away
Like cloud on the hill,
Pendulous, treinulou.3,
Migriitiiie- sl.il' ;
Where to repose ourselves?
Whither to tend!
Such our consistency :
Where is tbe end?
Crystal the pavement,
Seen from the stream;
Firm the reality
Under the dream :
We may not feel it,
Still we may mend :
How we have conquered
Not kuowu till the end.
Bright leaves may scatter,
j SportB of the wind,
But stands to the Winter
Tbe great tree behind :
Frosts shall not wither it,
Storms cannot bend ;
Roots firmly clasping
Tbe rock, at the end.
Calm is the firmament,
Over tbe cloud ;
Clear shine the stars, throng
The rifts of the shroud ;
There our repose shall be,
Thitber we tend :
Spite ol our waverings
Approved at the lSud.

al Gt-mexnl Fremont
Butyouhavo yet to learn my boy, what was
the great reason for sending Fremont to tbe
everlasting hills. Ou Tuesday, I asked a knowing veteran at Willard's what it really was. He
looked at me a moment in immovable silence ;
then he softly placed bis spoon gyiniiasyum ou a
table, looked cautiously in all directions, crept
tip to my ear on tiptoe, and says he:
" Ferriages!"
"Son of a bottle !" says I, "your information is
about as intelligible as the ordinary remarks of
Ralph Waldo Emerson."
The knowing veterau suffered his nose to take
a steam bath for a moment, aud then says be ;
"Kerridges? Kerridges with six horses and
the American ilag flying out of the back window

Humors of tlio War— X Practical Jo I*e.
The soldiers in Kentucky arc famous for practical jokes, and are constantly on tbe lookout for
subjects. Oue was recently procured in the person of a new teamster, who had the charge of six
large, shagicy mules. Jehu was also proprietor of
two bottles of old Bourbon—a contraband in camp
—whieh a wag discovered, and resolved, to possess. Being aware that tlio dri<*er'a presence was
an impediment to tho theft, be hit upon tbe following plan to get rid of him.
Approaching the driver who waa busy currying
hia mules, ho accosted him with, "I Bay, old fellow, what are you doing there now?"
" Can't you see!" said Jehu gruffly.
Certainly," said tbe wag, "but that is not
r busiuese. It is after tattoo, and there is a
fellow hired here by the Geueral, who curries al
the mu'ea and horses brought in after tattoo."
The mule driver bit at ouce, and wanted to
know where the "hair dresser" kept himself.—
Whereupon he was directed to Gen. Nelson's tenti
with the assurance that there was where
hung out.:'
" You cau't mistake the man." said the
wag—"he is a large fellow, and puts on a thundering sight of aits for a mau in his low business.
He will probably refuse to do it. and tell you to
go lo the devil, but don't you mind that; hi
been drinking to day. Make him come out, **■
Jehu posted off, entered the tent where our
Nai.iol.-on of the 4th Division sat in deep reverie
probably considering the most expeditious method
of expelling the rebel General Buckner troi
native State, slapped him on tbe back with force
sufficient to annihilate a man of ordinary size.
Springing to his feet tho General accosted his
uuiuvited guest with: "Well, sir, who aro you,
uud what the devil do you want?"
"Old boss, I've got a job for you now, six
mules to be curried, and ri*- bt off, too," aud the
captain ot mules, nothing dauuted at the flashing
eyes ofthe General.
" Do you know whom you arc addressing, Bir?:
"Yes," said Jehu, elevating his voice to a
pitch which rendered tho words audible a squ
off, "yon are the fellow hired by Uncle Sam to
clcau mules, and I won't have nuy foolishness-
Clean them mules, and I'll give you a drink oi
busthead."
You infernal villian," exclaimed the General,
' perfectly furious, "I am Gen. Nelson, the
commander of this Division."
Jehu placed the thumb of bis right hand against
e nose, and extending his lingers, moved them
slowly, in a manner supposed by some to be indicative of great wisdom. The General's sword
leaped from its scabbard, and Jehu from the tent
just in time to save bis head. Our boys drank
the big mule driver's health in Bourbon. The
story boou got out, and is now the joke of the
SUMMONS.
