Nobody' Song
BY NORODV.
I'm thinking just now of Nobody,
And all that Nobody's done,
For I've a passion for Nobody
That Xobody else would own ;
I bear the name of Nobody,
For from Nobody I sprung;
And I sing the praise of Xobody,
As Xubody mine has sung.
In life's young morning Xobody
To me was tender and dear ;
And my cradle was rocked by Nobody,
And Nobody was ever neaf ;
I was petted and praised by Xobody,
And Xobody brought me up ;
And when I was hungry, Xobody
Gave me to dine or to sup.
I went to school to Xobody,
And Xobody taught me to read ;
I played in the street with Xobody
And to Xobody ever gave heed;
I rconuned my t-ilo to Xobody,
For Nobody was willing to hear;
And my heart It clung to Xobody,
And Xobody shed A tear.
And when I grew older, Xobody
Gave me a helping turn ;
And by the good aid of Xobody
I began my living in earn;
And hence I courted Nobody,
And said Xobody'a I'd be,
And asked to marry Xobody,
And Xobody married me.
Thus I trudged along with Xobody,
And Xobody cheers my life,
And I have a love for Xobody
Which Xobody has for his wife.
So here's a health to Xobody,
For " Nobody's now in town,"
And I've a passion for Xobody
That Xobody else would own.
MISCELLANEOUS
A Startling; Adventure.
In the summer of 1855, 1 was traveling
on business in the western part of Tennes
see. That purt of the Slnto which lies be
tween the Tennessee and MiifMssipi line
was ut that time a wild, dreary forest.
No roadi nothing but horse paths through
the woods, and the only marks to guide
the truvtler upon his journey were the
blazes" and notions" upon the trees. I
was dressed in the true back-woods fash
ion, and I rode a fiery mustang, with a
mane and tail as white as snow, a beau-
if il arch neck, and an eye like an eagle.
Ie was a perfect beauty, and as lleet as
the wind. Across his back I had thrown
a pair of saddle lugs, continuing on one
side a dozen "pones" of corn brt ad and a
piece of bacon, and to tallance thetn there
was a "pile of rocks in the other end in
the shape of two thousand dollars in gold,
which 1 hud collected and was transport
ing them to a bank in Kentucky, lo be di
posed of for eastern exchange. Two
arge wooden stirrups hung dangling from
my saddle, and the holster in front con
tained two beauties, in the shape of enor
mous pistol. Over these, to keep them
dry, was the sqirrel-skin covers
I had been riding for several hours,
swimming the rivers that crossod my path,
snuffing in the rich perfume of the forest
flowers, watching the squirrels playing
about in the tree tops, and listening tothj
music which issued from the throats of the
thousand urigni wingeu songsters im
which the woods abound. I hud not seen
. . .
soltary human being since morning, and
uight was rapidly approaching; indeed, it
had already begun lo grow dark, and I
made up mind that I would have to camp
out for the nighL I was looking around
to select some good place, when I wa:
startled by the neighing of a horse aheid
of me, and 1 presently saw two men ap j
proachmg me on horseback. I bey were
rough looking fellows, dressed m hunting
shins, and with squirrel skin caps on their
heads. I did not like their looks, and un -
seen oy mem, 1 orew op my pisiois ana
cocking them, replaced them in my hols -
ters, and casting my eye forward, I taw
one of the meu make a motion I did not
like. I resolved if they proved to be what
L LJ 6iVB -"J
Hgni, nun uic uiarc.j.
Pshaw! what a fool I was!" thought I,
as mcy iwue up uu uauo u.o Kuw c.c-
nmg. t conversed a lew minutes, when
one of them said:
"My youngster, what have you got in
your saddle bags that rattles so?"
"Nails," I replied.
"Nails." said he, '-eh, Bill, let's exam
ine the article and see'" and caught hold
of my hore by the pit,
Quick as lighting I drew my pistols,
and pointed mmzle to each of iheir hearts
anJt-aid:
Amusomonts and General Intelligence.
'(eiiilt'incn, mnkn n motion (0 drnw n
weapon, nnd tl tit t motion seal your fate!"
Tlity vto completely taken by sur
prise, mil wheeling their horses around,
struck on" into the forests. After idling
11 few rods oir, ono of them rinsed his lint
11 a throutoninu; attitude I drew the trig.
cer of my right hand tiiol, and the vil
lain s arm fell upon the saddle; and utior-
nir a yell of agony, they darted oil into
the woods. 1 reloudcd my pistol, strm k
my fjmrs into myhoro's aides, and nftrr ten
miles of the fnstest riding 1 ever experi
enced, I reached a log lioiiue, where 1 put
up for the night.
Two years after the incident jiiht noted,
took place, I whs traveling down the Mis-
itmsippi on an old folnoneU bout, when my
nhention was attracted to an individual on
hourd, whom I thought 1 hud met before,
but where I could not tell. I was deter
mined to follow him up, and see if I could
not call to mind where wo hnd met nnd
under what circumstances. At last I found
an opportunity take a pood looknt him, na
lie was sealed on un old barrel head ear
neslly engaged in a game of "seven up."
I stepped up and perceived that two fin-
sera of his right hand were missing. The
game progressed, until nn exciting mo
ment he nroso, and slinking his fist in the
face of his opponent, in answer to some
reinoik of the latter concerning the game,
he exclaimed:
i swear you lie!"
I placed my hand upon his shoulder and
turning mm arounu:
"Ah ha!" exclaimed I, "we've met be
fore!"
Lifting his ninimed hand, his faco turn
ed as white as a sheet, and, hoarse with
passion, he vociferated:
" Yes, we have met beforo, in the woods
of Tennessee, and I have sworn that you
should die! Take that!"
And the wretch ntlempted to draw
pistol from his coat, but the trigger caught
in the ragged lining of his pocket it went
off and he rolled over into the muddy wn
ters of the Mississippi a corpse! Life in
the West.
Mental Food In the City.
Tossing along Dearborn street the oth
er day we noticed a young Miss of six
teen, pcrhap, walk rtipidly along, and
glance eagerly over the lurge theater post
ers apparently satisfied, she passed on
towards the box office. We thought noth
ing more of tho matter until half an hour
later we took a seat in the Omnibus on
our way to dinner. The 'bus was crowd
ed. We were seated beside a youn la
dy who wus oblivious of all things except
a paper she was engeily reading. This
attracted our nuenyon, and glancing at
her features we discovered it was the same
young lady we had seen regarding the
bill of play with so much interest. An
other glance discovered to us tho fart that
the paper she was reading was the omni
present New York Ledger the article one
of those " thrilling stories. On her lap
In y the JSew York Picayune, and in one
hand was her portemonie and a theater
box ticket. That is the way hundre Is of
young men and women are being educat
ed in this city. That is the path they are
treading.
Is it hard to foretell the end ? Is it a
wonder thttt all manner of evil riots in
the land ? that vice and licentiousness is
the rule, while virtue and worth are the
exception?
What effort is made to create and sup
ply a demand for mental dose, which dis
ease the mind, and destroy the soul
while healthful, invigorating and elevat-
. : ...
, jng ali,neiit is disregarded and rejected,
ii0.v mdlv diluted is' truth ? Whnt home-

' ai; How slight the foundation of fact
for these etheral imaginative structures !
jow isf.nsibly, and yet surely the best of
U9 yield to th s influence. How great the
responsibility of writers and journalists
uuw fearful in extent and in the results,
jiow js tnat young lady being educated
; for jfe-g duljeil f What will she know of
: ju responsibilities? Who is educating
her What seed is being sown, and what

are responsible. Place before your child
1 8ubstantial food. If this be wanting other
ijjIMi4 wjh lake jts place. The waul of
pr0per mental food in families is a great
tnilse of menta dissipation, thou the pre- - . ' . frwiu.nliw lhe
, existence of poison.1 If turned intoWfo"'
proper channel, nrst, a lounuauon laiu
properly, there is less danger of wrecking

class of literature hawked about our streets,
and thrust in the face of citizens, and
winked at by them which in character

inch as no law oucht to allow circulated.
And yet WUD. !! th tare possible lo be

Indian Corn.
Maize, or Indian corn, originated in
America, and is not yet, we think, cultiva
ted to any extent on the European conti
nent. 1 hough the people of l real Britain
cannot be made to appreciate its merits
very fully; the aggregate exports of corn
in )8'6, in the form of whole grain, meal,
corn starch, farina, etc.,' amounted to be
tween seven end eight millions dollars, or
about one fortieth of the whole exports of
the whole country, and 6,700,000 bushels,
considerably moro than half, went to Eng
land alone.
Corn has always been an important ar
ticle in this country, both of consumption
and export. The total amount of this pro
duce exported in 1770, was 678,349 bush-
el; in 17'Jl, L0U1,IM bushels, of which
3- 1,095 were Indian meal. The value of
corn and its manufactures exported from
