Siltriib |otlii. The Mim;*; of Horrid "tYi-atUtu-. BY WR0XOFILL0W. The following piece appeared In tha Hide IVest ot a late date. It is an excellent parody oa Longfellow's new poem. Tiik Soxo of Hiawatha. The great poet ban, in this instance, unhappily laid himself open to the most ludicrous imitations of hie atyle and mode of thought and sentiment.— HiAWA'rn.v coniains many highly poetic passages, the beauty of which only tempts the mischievous parodist th« more strongly. The work bas met with a very largo sale in the Eastern States. Besides tho pleasure arising from a successful parody, The SONG of HoBBID Wkather will bo found interesting and amusing, from the genial humor that runs through it all. There isa mine of mirth in tbe droll spelling of the " proper names." If, in spite of the commandment, The commandment, the eleventh, Von should ask me whence these stories, Whence these stories of tbe weather, Of tbo very muddy weather, Muddy with tbe tears ofheaeen, Muddy witb the eliy's damp dust. Muddy with the wet tliat oozes From beneath the planks when troiUt&Br, From the springing plank that flits up At the end that is not trod on, Like the worm tbat turns wben trod on, I should answer, I sbould tell yuit Not to turn to tho commandment, Not to the commandments ji/!** one, And there learn bow one now wealthy, One particularly weiKhy, Such became by that commandment, Hy obeying that commandment, But in answer I would tell you That this very simplo story Ofthe very muddy weather Came from walking iu the night-time, In tho unillumined night-time, Where the waters of the black bay, Of the miasmatic black bay. Rush beneath the p'.anks of Long-wharf, I..ongwharf, bom of street Commercial, Where the voices ofthe Cheepjous, . Of the modest, timid Cheepjous, Recommend to simple passers, Passers unsophisticated, In their vestments an investment, So miraculous in its cheapness That it really is a wonder, How they realize a profit, Realize a living profit. ii. But I wander while you wonder Whence I get my inspiration in relation te this weather, To this song ol horrid weather. Ko returning. I will tell yoxf, From the hiatus iu planking, (Called a hole in common parlance,) Which yon meet at every live steps, Where you fall nt every live steps In the thoroughfares along which Rushes wildly tho bleak north wind, The bleak north wind, styled EbaoosaQCO, By all men who have to face it, Have to faco it ia tho night-time. in. Should you ask me who is singing This wild wail of horrid weather, The sad song of horrid weather, J should answer, I should t"ll you Jehrenullvau the Noosman— Pa-Tul who ruu« the Tountauk— .Seepeekirabal Karyur Kayze— Soolay, tho lariat poet— Alt bewail tbis horrid weather, Even Jaymes of Wilyum Monarch, He who fills the post meridian With the thunder;"! of Afrecpresa, Of Afraepress tbat unflinching Braves the wrath of Koocsuiijarraa, Koocanparma, mighty bankers, Witb tbeir faithful bird, the Koeben, Bird that Maid sing, bird thaj wouldn't, But a bird that when a jail-bird, Jail-bird caught 'midst cord of -.Learner, Yielded to tho sweet persuasion Ofthe Kownsul that besought it And gave forth its wondrous music, Music in the key of Adam, Music full of notes peculiar, la the long-boat key of Adam. IT. By the rays of dark lantern, Dark, because the ligbi had gone out, Had been put out by the north wind, By tbo bleak north wind, Ehnoosance, Did our hero Hifalutin, Poet-worshipped Hifalutin, Strive to regulate his walking, Walking rendered somewhat crooked, By a beverage Teutonic, Rashly mingled in the drinking, Witb tho Gallic torrent Koueyak, Here he bendeth, there he swayeth, Like a pine whose top is heavy, Swaiyeth 'ncatb the snows of winter, When the South wind breathes upon It, Wben upon i t breathes the South wind. Now he struggles through a deep slough, Through a deep slough where the planking Where the tempest-rotted planking, Has been ground by wheel of carriage, Wheel of carriage, dray or wagon, Into mud the moat tenacious, Mud that fain would be persuading Boots to leave the foot of wearer, Boots to linger iu the black slough. There emerging, Hifalutin, Faint, unsteady, touches bottom, But a bottom so uncertain. That his two feet cannot grasp it, And bis lower limbs, upflying, Fill the night air with the black mud, And his figure finds a level^^^fc in tho thoroughfare, fllong^BM Howls the bleak uorth wind Enmosanc-*). Up arose young Hifalutin, Hifalutin thus unlucky With a wrath for words too mighty, For the Sacksuntung too mighty. He in vain sought for his lantern, For his Jrusty, good dark lantern. But he nothing touched save black mud, Nothing found he but the black mud, And bii spirit raged within bim, Raged and burned his soul within bim. And ho cursed tho Raynesezun, Cursed the blessed Uaynesajzon, And he cursed the Komrnunkownsil, Kommunkownsil tconomic. And against the Gaskumpunny, Gaskumpuuny poor but honest, Raised he high his voice of anger, Voice of anger most emphatic. Then bis mighty heart grew lighter, And his spirit cooled within him, As the Sherikobler cooled is By the shaking of Bartcndur. From his hands the clinging black mud Thon ho wiped upon his "long hair, Long hair weeping for his lost hat, Hat that none save Harfaueegle Could replace upon his bare head, Aud to him great Harfanecgle, Had fbr long months been a stranger. As a ship 'gainst wind goes onward, Tacking hither, t.icking thither, Till lie reached ;*. fatal chasm, Chasm bridged by plank unsteady. Bridged by DariOW plank unsteady. Boldly stepped young Hifalutin, Heedless of the danger near him, On this bridge across this chasm, Chasm bottomless and muddy. As he stepped a terror seized him, As he stepped a terror shook him,' And his teeth together clattered, Clattered as if Chilzanfever, Kwinye's foe, great Chilzanfever, Of his person had possession, Had possession of bis person. Wonder not tbat Hifalutin Trembled on the narrow planking, For the form tbat stood before him, Stood before him on the planking. Was the form ot Lokalitums, Lokalitums dull and dreary, Lokalitums, from whose fingers, Fires flow aud dreadful murders, And whose task it is to tlonblo Suicides and city riots ; And whose pen bad tilled the chasm, On whose brink stood Hifalutin, With the forms of borse and horseman, With the frames of dray and drayman, Daily doubled, sometimes trebled, In their numbers by his power, liy his power in tho Altir, And in twic? a dozen other Dailies, where the metal pen is Deadlier than the soldier's sword. Thus to him then Lokalitums, Spoke to him them Lokalitums— '*pause and ponder, Hifalutin, If the beverage Teutonic Aud the Gallic fluid Koneyak Grant thee leave to sober listen. Put not foot before tbe other, Step not on the plank unsteady. Lo ! below thee lie an hundred. Hundred victims of ray prowess Lie bslow thee in ibe black njud, in the black mud lie below thee, Pause, and step not thou to join them.' For a moment Hifututia Paused, aud then rushed madly onward j What recked he of Lokalitums . Apocryphal Lokalitums ! Spite of beverages mingled, With rash steps he gained the centro, Gained the centre of tho planking, Gained it but to feel the sharp point Of fhe pen of Lokalitums. Of that pen than sword more deadly, In bis bosom, then upon it He was poised above the chasm, He wns dropped into the chasm— Chasm full of d?'ays and draymen— Chasm, grave of horse and horeeman. Witb the sun of tbo next morning, In the Sun of tbe next morning, One might read of Hifalutin, 01 the fate of Hifalutin, Who, alone and in the night-time, In the unillumined night-time, Fell by the bond of Lokalitums, Stabbed by pen of Lokalitums. Was " found drowned" in murky chasm, In the murky chasm "found drowned." ttsi iwnpaittts.

Gospel Privileges to tub Highest Bidder.— The c'aurcli in Brooklyn bave generally managed to do a good business in the way of renting peavs, but Plymouth Clmrch, of which the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is pastor, aeetns to transact by far the largest -share of btisiues in the piety marlcet. The reason of this is doubtless to be found in tbe fact that Bro. Beecher ia iu the habit of "speaking right out in meeting" on certain theological points. The world is progressing on matters of religion as well as all otber matters, and the hell- fire and brimstone doctrine has lost its charm for even the most rabid of tbe straight-laccd gentry. The annual renting of tha pews ia Plymouth Church occurred last month. Tho roi-ult waa, one hundred and BeveiHy-three seats were taken, the rents of which amount to §1.0,785. The premium-, paid were $1,760. about thirty per cent, above last year. A large assembly was present, and the bidding was so spirited that Ihe whole business was dono in less than two hours. The aggregate receipts for pew-rents, the present year, ■"expected to be over $13,030, a larger sum, per- _aps, than in any other church in the country. Tlie house is to be open every morning through the week, and on Sunday evpning, to rent the rs- rnaiuder of the seats, numbering over one hundred,— Sunday Dispatch.

Poultry yards aud sheep fold* have been robbed to a frightful extent, and in several instances the hungry beasts have not been inclined to spare the human species. The Keokuk Post says : "About three weeks ago, a man was returning from a prayer meeting, accompanied by his two daughters, one sixteen aod tiie other twenty-three years of age. They were all riding the same horse, when suddenly a pacfc of timber wolves assailed them, and being unable to escape by flight they attempted to defend themselves. But the ferocious brutes attacked the horse, rendering him unmanageable. Tbe oldest daughter was partly thrown aud partly dragged to the ground, and instantly devoured. This enabled ihe father and the other daughter to escape.

The AnaiTicsn brig Cecilia, Captain S.vmtnos, on one of ber royagoa from New York to Rio Janeiro, had on board a splendid specimen of toe Newrounrliaod breed namt,J Napoleon. He was owned by a man named Lancaster, who was naturally extremely fond of him. Captain Symmes. however, was not partial to aaira.aif- of any kind. and had an unaccouuta.,!*} repugnance, to a do_;; bo much po. indeed, as if all his ancestors bad died of'hydropbob a, and he dreaded to be bitten like in unfortunate predecessors. This dislike he one day developed in the most unfeeliiu manner, for as Napoleon had se^nd times entered his ptate- room, a?id by waggiajf hia great banner of a tail traccfe-HlI paper and ink off hid desk; on the next occasion the captain Beiasajd a Knife, and cut half the i aor animal's £»i] off Tlie dog'»y*?n broagbtiiis master to the epot, and Beeiog the cruel cttu^e nnd the author of it, he, without a mo.T?i':it,'s btaitation, felled Captain Symmes to the cabin floor with a blow from bis aledge-liammer-f.sl. The result was that Lancaster wai pat in irons, from which, hoiyet'er. he was soon released. Cap- tun S. partly repented the cruel deed on learning th*t-Niipoieon had once saved the owner's life. The while shark, as all my friends are we'l aware, is one of the very largest of the species. [t averages over twenty feet, and have seen it thirty-seven and ahalffaw? ia length. Itisthe ii::rceRt and most formidahle ofal! sharks. Cut a few days elapsed after the catastrophe of poor NapoUon, ere he became the hero ofa most thrilling occurrence, firing tbe interval th« no- ble beft*.t was not at all backward in exhibiting bis wrath at ihe captnin by fow growls wben he ap ;ir'iached. In vain did bis musier, fearful for lbe life of his dog. essay to check these signs o[' anger. Captain Syuimes, however, offered the noble dog no Further harm*. One morning, as the captain was standing on the !Hy.v-_]r,t, he loat his footing, aud fell o*rer- board', the Cecilia then running about ten knots The boat was now pulling toward* th« brig. and not many minutes clap-ed before the captain was oil dfCk again, feeble from hia efforts, but h&le to appreciate the st?i vices of our canine hero.

Slowly the fatigued swimmer made his way while frequently his head sank in the wares, ami behind him the baftk of Ihe voracious animal told what fearful progress he was making, while Lancaster, iu the how ol the boat, stood w;th a knife ia his upra sed hand, watching alternately the Captain and hia pursuer, and the faithful animal who had saved hisown life. 'Great God! what a swimmer!' exclaimed the men who marked the speed of the splendid animal. 'The shark wiil have one or botb, if we don't do our best.' The scene was of short duration. Ere the boat could overtal.. the dog. the enormous shark had arrived within three oars'length of the captain, and suddenly turned over on hia back, preparatory to darting on the Sinking man, and receiving him wi'.b'ri bis extended jaws. The wild ,-hi'iek of the captain annouced that the crises had came. But now Napoleon who seemed inspired with iner-.ased strength, had also arrived, and wi*h a fierce howl leaped upon the gleaming belly of the shark, and buried lai.--- teeth in the monster's flash while the boat swiftly near- ed them. 'Saved! if we ure half as smart as that dog is !■ cried the mate, as all saw the voracious monster shuddering in tbe sen, and Smarting with pain. turn over ngain- Ati Auction Scene* " Gentlemen.

THs, of coarse, attracted alleyes to the individual ; but he not abashed, replied : •MYall.I reckon I did." " And didhit use a handkerchief?" This query caused a roar of laughter, far auctioneers such as this one always manage to impress their audience tbat everything they i^ay is witty. The young Hoosier, however, not in the least disconcerted, replied : "I reckon I didn't.'-' '' Now, gentlemen, do yon hear tbat," cried the auetiono' r.

The Mim;*; of Horrid "tYi-atUtu-.
BY WR0XOFILL0W.
The following piece appeared In tha Hide IVest
ot a late date. It is an excellent parody oa Longfellow's new poem. Tiik Soxo of Hiawatha. The
great poet ban, in this instance, unhappily laid
himself open to the most ludicrous imitations of
hie atyle and mode of thought and sentiment.—
HiAWA'rn.v coniains many highly poetic passages,
the beauty of which only tempts the mischievous
parodist th« more strongly. The work bas met
with a very largo sale in the Eastern States. Besides tho pleasure arising from a successful parody, The SONG of HoBBID Wkather will bo found
interesting and amusing, from the genial humor
that runs through it all. There isa mine of mirth
in tbe droll spelling of the " proper names."
If, in spite of the commandment,
The commandment, the eleventh,
Von should ask me whence these stories,
Whence these stories of tbe weather,
Of tbo very muddy weather,
Muddy with tbe tears ofheaeen,
Muddy witb the eliy's damp dust.
Muddy with the wet tliat oozes
From beneath the planks when troiUt&Br,
From the springing plank that flits up
At the end that is not trod on,
Like the worm tbat turns wben trod on,
I should answer, I sbould tell yuit
Not to turn to tho commandment,
Not to the commandments ji/!** one,
And there learn bow one now wealthy,
One particularly weiKhy,
Such became by that commandment,
Hy obeying that commandment,
But in answer I would tell you
That this very simplo story
Ofthe very muddy weather
Came from walking iu the night-time,
In tho unillumined night-time,
Where the waters of the black bay,
Of the miasmatic black bay.
Rush beneath the p'.anks of Long-wharf,
I..ongwharf, bom of street Commercial,
Where the voices ofthe Cheepjous,
. Of the modest, timid Cheepjous,
Recommend to simple passers,
Passers unsophisticated,
In their vestments an investment,
So miraculous in its cheapness
That it really is a wonder,
How they realize a profit,
Realize a living profit.
ii.
But I wander while you wonder
Whence I get my inspiration
in relation te this weather,
To this song ol horrid weather.
Ko returning. I will tell yoxf,
From the hiatus iu planking,
(Called a hole in common parlance,)
Which yon meet at every live steps,
Where you fall nt every live steps
In the thoroughfares along which
Rushes wildly tho bleak north wind,
The bleak north wind, styled EbaoosaQCO,
By all men who have to face it,
Have to faco it ia tho night-time.
in.
Should you ask me who is singing
This wild wail of horrid weather,
The sad song of horrid weather,
J should answer, I should t"ll you
Jehrenullvau the Noosman—
Pa-Tul who ruu« the Tountauk—
.Seepeekirabal Karyur Kayze—
Soolay, tho lariat poet—
Alt bewail tbis horrid weather,
Even Jaymes of Wilyum Monarch,
He who fills the post meridian
With the thunder;"! of Afrecpresa,
Of Afraepress tbat unflinching
Braves the wrath of Koocsuiijarraa,
Koocanparma, mighty bankers,
Witb tbeir faithful bird, the Koeben,
Bird that Maid sing, bird thaj wouldn't,
But a bird that when a jail-bird,
Jail-bird caught 'midst cord of -.Learner,
Yielded to tho sweet persuasion
Ofthe Kownsul that besought it
And gave forth its wondrous music,
Music in the key of Adam,
Music full of notes peculiar,
la the long-boat key of Adam.
IT.
By the rays of dark lantern,
Dark, because the ligbi had gone out,
Had been put out by the north wind,
By tbo bleak north wind, Ehnoosance,
Did our hero Hifalutin,
Poet-worshipped Hifalutin,
Strive to regulate his walking,
Walking rendered somewhat crooked,
By a beverage Teutonic,
Rashly mingled in the drinking,
Witb tho Gallic torrent Koueyak,
Here he bendeth, there he swayeth,
Like a pine whose top is heavy,
Swaiyeth 'ncatb the snows of winter,
When the South wind breathes upon It,
Wben upon i t breathes the South wind.
Now he struggles through a deep slough,
Through a deep slough where the planking
Where the tempest-rotted planking,
Has been ground by wheel of carriage,
Wheel of carriage, dray or wagon,
Into mud the moat tenacious,
Mud that fain would be persuading
Boots to leave the foot of wearer,
Boots to linger iu the black slough.
There emerging, Hifalutin,
Faint, unsteady, touches bottom,
But a bottom so uncertain.
That his two feet cannot grasp it,
And bis lower limbs, upflying,
Fill the night air with the black mud,
And his figure finds a level^^^fc
in tho thoroughfare, fllong^BM
Howls the bleak uorth wind Enmosanc-*).
Up arose young Hifalutin,
Hifalutin thus unlucky
With a wrath for words too mighty,
For the Sacksuntung too mighty.
He in vain sought for his lantern,
For his Jrusty, good dark lantern.
But he nothing touched save black mud,
Nothing found he but the black mud,
And bii spirit raged within bim,
Raged and burned his soul within bim.
And ho cursed tho Raynesezun,
Cursed the blessed Uaynesajzon,
And he cursed the Komrnunkownsil,
Kommunkownsil tconomic.
And against the Gaskumpunny,
Gaskumpuuny poor but honest,
Raised he high his voice of anger,
Voice of anger most emphatic.
Then bis mighty heart grew lighter,
And his spirit cooled within him,
As the Sherikobler cooled is
By the shaking of Bartcndur.
From his hands the clinging black mud
Thon ho wiped upon his "long hair,
Long hair weeping for his lost hat,
Hat that none save Harfaueegle
Could replace upon his bare head,
Aud to him great Harfanecgle,
Had fbr long months been a stranger.
As a ship 'gainst wind goes onward,
Tacking hither, t.icking thither,
Till lie reached ;*. fatal chasm,
Chasm bridged by plank unsteady.
Bridged by DariOW plank unsteady.
Boldly stepped young Hifalutin,
Heedless of the danger near him,
On this bridge across this chasm,
Chasm bottomless and muddy.
As he stepped a terror seized him,
As he stepped a terror shook him,'
And his teeth together clattered,
Clattered as if Chilzanfever,
Kwinye's foe, great Chilzanfever,
Of his person had possession,
Had possession of bis person.
Wonder not tbat Hifalutin
Trembled on the narrow planking,
For the form tbat stood before him,
Stood before him on the planking.
Was the form ot Lokalitums,
Lokalitums dull and dreary,
Lokalitums, from whose fingers,
Fires flow aud dreadful murders,
And whose task it is to tlonblo
Suicides and city riots ;
And whose pen bad tilled the chasm,
On whose brink stood Hifalutin,
With the forms of borse and horseman,
With the frames of dray and drayman,
Daily doubled, sometimes trebled,
In their numbers by his power,
liy his power in tho Altir,
And in twic? a dozen other
Dailies, where the metal pen is
Deadlier than the soldier's sword.
Thus to him then Lokalitums,
Spoke to him them Lokalitums—
'*pause and ponder, Hifalutin,
If the beverage Teutonic
Aud the Gallic fluid Koneyak
Grant thee leave to sober listen.
Put not foot before tbe other,
Step not on the plank unsteady.
Lo ! below thee lie an hundred.
Hundred victims of ray prowess
Lie bslow thee in ibe black njud,
in the black mud lie below thee,
Pause, and step not thou to join them.'
For a moment Hifututia
Paused, aud then rushed madly onward j
What recked he of Lokalitums .
Apocryphal Lokalitums !
Spite of beverages mingled,
With rash steps he gained the centro,
Gained the centre of tho planking,
Gained it but to feel the sharp point
Of fhe pen of Lokalitums.
Of that pen than sword more deadly,
In bis bosom, then upon it
He was poised above the chasm,
He wns dropped into the chasm—
Chasm full of d?'ays and draymen—
Chasm, grave of horse and horeeman.
Witb the sun of tbo next morning,
In the Sun of tbe next morning,
One might read of Hifalutin,
01 the fate of Hifalutin,
Who, alone and in the night-time,
In the unillumined night-time,
Fell by the bond of Lokalitums,
Stabbed by pen of Lokalitums.
Was " found drowned" in murky chasm,
In the murky chasm "found drowned."

Gospel Privileges to tub Highest Bidder.—
The c'aurcli in Brooklyn bave generally managed
to do a good business in the way of renting peavs,
but Plymouth Clmrch, of which the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher is pastor, aeetns to transact by far
the largest -share of btisiues in the piety marlcet.
The reason of this is doubtless to be found in tbe
fact that Bro. Beecher ia iu the habit of "speaking
right out in meeting" on certain theological
points. The world is progressing on matters of
religion as well as all otber matters, and the hell-
fire and brimstone doctrine has lost its charm for
even the most rabid of tbe straight-laccd gentry.
The annual renting of tha pews ia Plymouth
Church occurred last month. Tho roi-ult waa, one
hundred and BeveiHy-three seats were taken, the
rents of which amount to §1.0,785. The premium-,
paid were $1,760. about thirty per cent, above
last year. A large assembly was present, and
the bidding was so spirited that Ihe whole business was dono in less than two hours. The aggregate receipts for pew-rents, the present year,
■"expected to be over $13,030, a larger sum, per-
_aps, than in any other church in the country.
Tlie house is to be open every morning through
the week, and on Sunday evpning, to rent the rs-
rnaiuder of the seats, numbering over one hundred,— Sunday Dispatch.

BiVAOKS of Wolves i.\" Iowa.—Two Persona
Devoured.—Owing to the extreme cold weather
for some time past, the wolves in Pottawattamie
county, Iowa, have become dangerous neighbors.
Poultry yards aud sheep fold* have been robbed to
a frightful extent, and in several instances the
hungry beasts have not been inclined to spare the
human species. The Keokuk Post says :
"About three weeks ago, a man was returning
from a prayer meeting, accompanied by his two
daughters, one sixteen aod tiie other twenty-three
years of age. They were all riding the same horse,
when suddenly a pacfc of timber wolves assailed
them, and being unable to escape by flight they attempted to defend themselves. But the ferocious
brutes attacked the horse, rendering him unmanageable. Tbe oldest daughter was partly thrown
aud partly dragged to the ground, and instantly
devoured. This enabled ihe father and the other
daughter to escape. Several neighbors were soon
mustered, but upon repairing to the spot nothing
was fouud but one shoe, and a very few remnants
of tha, ainff.rfi.na.ii. girl's clothinir. A boy of
