A Uatchclor'rt Hall.
For the Scntintl.
Did over you sco (I nsk tho ladies nil;
The inside rig of an old bntchelor'ir hall ?
If never, you say, I'll try -to dcscrlbo
The prlvalo npartmcRt of one of the tribe :
First, let your fancy have Us full sway.
And consider yourself, on a line summer day,
A sitting, unseen, in a batchelnr's hull,
Admiring tho pictures which bang on tho
wnll
Oh ! pictures. I said; sure, I'm blind as a bat;
Upon my word, ladles, 'tis bolter than that;
For pictures but shadows at best will bo
found,
And where light is shut out no bhadowB
nboiiud.
The bntchelor, truo to tho promptings of
taste,
Instead of tho shadows tho substanco havo
placed ;
And where, dear Indies, you'd hang up your
pictures,
Ho hangs up his hat, coat, and other such
fixtures.
Examino tho wall In tho rrnr of his bed;
lbv neatly you eeo it Is nJl'overspread
Three pairs of pants, two hats, two coats
nnd a vest
His wardrobe in full from the worst to tho
best ;
And under his lied, amongst litter nnd dust,
His old boots, a boot-jack, and an old, dirty
shirt,
Are just peeping out from their sullied re
treat, Hut back to be kicked by tho batchelor's feet.
Seo thero in tho comer, his center-table;
To tell its contents would seem but a fable:
Two plugs of tobacco, and pipes by tho
dozen;
The Skntinki., the Union, and " Life of Mun
chausen ;"
" Webster's Unabridged,'' and sundry pub
lic doc's;
A hammer, a pistol, and old candle-box,
Makes up tho full list, in motley nrray,
Of traps on this tutilo you'll find every day.
Ills toilet-table, that stands on tho right,
At best you will lind in a borriblu plight
Hcncath it Ids wash-dish, and soap on tlio
lloor,
And old nails and pipe-stems on top by tho
score.
All unused is scattered his brushes and
broom,
In graceful confusion, nil over the room,
With him in tho midst, tho lord of the custlo,
With nothing to do but, to. smoke-and tu
whistle.
Willi feet on tlio mantlo, In ensy poslsh,
Ho sits thero uud wonders what more man
could wish.
Add to this, na old gun, the bones ol n deer,
Au old cut and kittens, mi ugly old cur
You'll have the sum total of what you may
call
The contents, in. full, of. a Hatctiolor's Hall.
Honest Abo and the Triumphant
Now York Democrats.
A TALK IIY TMK OUKAT MACK'KltRt.KII.
Tho late election in New Yoik, my boy,
Ims I'lifl rilled everybody except our Hon
est Abe, wlio still goes about smiling, like
n long and unliable sexton, mid continues
to save our distracted country ul'ier tho
manner of no honest man. On Tuesday
night a high, morn I Democratic chap, of
much watchseal, who hud. just received a
dispatch all ubout the election, went to
see the lltmest Abe, for tho express pur
pose of telling him that the Democratic
parly had been bornugnin, and wnson the
point of protesting against everything
whatsoever, except tho Constitution of
our lorefutliers. lie found the Honest Alio
cracking some walunts before the fire, my
boy. mid says he :
"The celebrated Democratic organiza
tion, of which I nm Assistuut Knginccr,
lias carried the State ol New York iu a
manner impossible' to express, and will now
proceed to demand of you n vigorous pros
ecution of that unnatural strife in which
nro involved our lives, our liberties, and
the pursuit ol happiness. We iidmire to
see your harmless honesty," says tho chap,
blandly, 'Mind we believe you to boa fresh
egg; but we protest against tho arbitrary
arrest of men which is patriots, only con
servatively Demucintiu; and wc insist up
on a vigorous prosecution of Constitu
tional hostilities against our misguided
brothers who arc now offering irregulur
opposition to the Government."
The Honest Abe cracked a walnut, nnd
says he, "You uny, neighbor, that tho or
ganization still insists upon a vigorous
prosecution of the war?'
The Democratic chap sliced a toothpick
from the arm of tho cliair with his knife,
and says he : " That is tlio present plat
form on which we ore E Pturibus Uiinm."
"Well," says the Honest Abe," I be
lieve that you uicun well, but nin reminded
of a little story. When I was practicing
law out in Illinois," says tho Honest Abe.
twisting the bow of his black necktie
around from under his left ear, " thero wus
an old cock with two sons, living near me
at u tumble down old sliunty. Ho lived
there until hulf his roof blew off one windy
night, and then he concluded to move to
a new house, where the chimney didn't
take up all the upper story. On thu day
when he moved, he'd got most nil of his
other traps changed lo'tho other residence,
and had sent one of his sons to seo that
they were ull got safely in doors, when sud
denly a shower commenced In come up.
The old man and his other off-pring. who
had stayed to hurry him. were taking up
a carpet from the floor nt the tlmo the first
dose of thunder cracked, and the ollspring,
says he, Hurry up. old crazy bones, or
we'll bo ketched in the freshet before we
get up this hero rich fabric' Tho slcrn
parent heeded tho admonition, and went
ripping away the carpet around tho edges
or the room, until he came near where the
ofl'-tpring was standing, and there it stuck.
He pulled, but it wouldn't come, nnd lie
says, says he : ' Tears to me that dod rot
ted lock must be a ton penny nailit holds
on so. You see, tho old screw wns very
blind without his specs," says the Honest
Abe, buttoning his vest nskow, "and lie
couldn't see just wheio the tack was.
Another peal of thunder nt this moment
made tho irascible ollspring still madder,
uud lie soys, says he : ' You miserable old
cripple, if you don't hurry up we'll be
ketched, I tell you !' As ho made this
dutiful remoik ho went stamping to I he'

shoulder, it wua'faitt somewhere yet. II

'pears to me, Sammy, your utmullng on the
cnrjitl yourself !' And so ho was so he
was," says the Honest Abe, smiling into
the lire, ' nnd that wus the reason the car
pet had stuck in so many places."

the Democrat iu chap in the ribs with liu
knuckles ; " if your nrgnniswtinn wants mo
to move vigorously in litis war, toll tlinn
not to bo standing on my carpet all the
time. Otherwise, I must stilt keep tack

The Democratic chnp hnil been slowly
rising from his chair us this small moral
tale drew towards its exciting conclusion,
and at the last words ho fled the apart

A Hawk and Ui.Anc Ssakk. The
Lowell Courier snys : " We have been in
formed of n singular combat that took
place in I'elhnm, New Hamshire, a few
days pincc, Iwlween n hawk nnd black
snake. Tristnm P. Palmer, whilu walking
in a field in Pcllium. came upon a hawk
and blnck snake iu a life and death strug
gle. From appearances, tho hawk mndu
a descent upon the snake with tlw expecta
tion of mailing an easy prey of it, but tlio
result was fatal to both. Tlio snake wns
firmly held in the talons of the hawk, which
had managed to get a coil around thu
wing nnd one leg in such a manner ns to
prevent tho bird from disengaging itself.
lull the snakes body had been torn by tho
hawk, whose neck and head wercnt liberty.
Apparently the hawk stood the best
chance of winning tho fight, us tho inakn
appeared to be pretty nearly ti'ed up ; but
the struggle would havo proved fatal to
both, had not tho gentleman put nn end 'to
it by dNpatchinor the combatants. The
snake wns three feet und ten inches long,
unusunlly heavy for its length. Tlio hawk,
from tiii to tip of its wings, inensuted pre
cisely the snitic."
