    The N^Xt Has An American Twan G With If,...

    The n ^ xt has an American twan g with if , which is something : — . « The Firi eaUr of the Washington Southern Press s . ys that we seem to mca . u e our respect for : him by fee -number of those that agree with hm We believe that , nobody agrees with him , and we doubt , if he ci er agreed with anybody . If a cannibal or an anaconda were to swallow him , we doubt if he ' would agree with the man or the snake . Where our Yankee editor would be learned he is generally at -. fault . . Even iiv Shakspeare he loses his way . For instance , he attributes " silence , that dreadful bell , " to Macbeth , when it is sa . d by Othello , and credits Hamlet with a saying only to be found in another play . lhe followine is a specimen of a frequently recurring type : — " A man in our State , who attempted to hug a beautiful young woman , Miss Lemon , lias sued her for striking him in the eye . Why should a fellow squeeze a lemon unless be wants a punch ? We outfit to commend the above extract to a facetious contempoiary it mi-ht serve him for a motto , but perhaps the personal application would be a little objectionable . The ladies are great favourites ^ vith out paragraph ^ , and with two or three jests . relative to them we shall couclude our remarks . Is not the following exquisite — - We wonder if the Illinois ladies , who presented Gov . r . « ith a _ pet - coat , accompanied the present with a bustle tt e presume so , for his Excellencv seems to have been in a great bustle ever since . . - ml * i ?« % l \ v , sooth-like the old age . " Here fcfepmething . however , ^' TS ^ I ^ eZcr husband a piece of her mind if she chooses , but she shouldn ' t break the peace . " > The next is not a puii—but much worse : —r . ¦ "It js a suspicious circumstance , that if a lady has a long nose it is almost invariably crooked . It lias to lie bent slightly aside to admit of her beina kissed , and so it grows awry . " , ~ I Here , according to our promise , we ought to conclude , but we must find room for an editorial amenity : — .,, < . j , - , ,. „„ ,-, „ - " An editor in the West boasts that his enemies will find him a young David . ' Very few read his paper without feeling disposed to exclaim—GO are the '' Prenticeana . " Jewellery so maji # estly mere paste were scarcely worth the stringing . . :,-. '; ¦¦¦ .. ¦ . ' . The Season-Ticket . The English reader lias always delighted m works or , ' . -humour ; and truly , what we understand by ; genius proper ismore ' « W " represented in that form than in any other . It is to that ; form of ntel . lectualitv that we most usually attach the epithet gemal . The phrase < genial ' humour "is current everywhere . Numerous * accordingly , are the writers who seek to exhibit a quality so universally recognised . Dickens and Thackeray lead the way in the old country ; Sam Slick , perhaps , stands alone in the new . ... During the -- pa * ; . . ^ . 1 L » *« . - great American humorist lias generously poured forth the-tide of his laugh-provoking vein in the pages of one of our- most favour ^ periodicals , The Dublin University Hag ^ ine . They are . now repubhshed . 1 he . cognomen under which it delights Judge Ilaliburton to appear ainongst us is that of Mr . Shegog , who takes a season-t . cket 1 . 11 the hrst . clas . strain to Southampton , and in twelve chapters gives us Ins experiences of life ^ the rail . His first chapters , however , consist of Irish , sketches and renu-Sscences of Cork , some of which ar * f . rst ^ . te . *™ ^!» S ^* shine in these-Mr . Peabody , a regular Yankee ar . d the Honourable Lyman Boodle , a senator from Michigan , whose characters . are ^""^ Wj contrasted throughout . But the book is not all sport , j much in formation is given withal , and the author ' s political opinions on current subjects aie very distinctly and decidedly expressed . •• '" , ¦ , ,, , „ Fisher ' s River Scene * and Characters are sketches of the people and places in North Carolina , near Fisher ' a River , named after the loftiest peak of the Blue Ridge chain of the AHcghany , The manners Portrayed are exceedingly rude , and the humour equally primitive , lor the most part they are unadorned tales—sometimes quaint , and doubtless mBtructwe , but not always amusing . The characters are closely copied from nature ; they are evidently true , but they want " varnish . " . The illustrations are tolerably good , and' thirteen in number .
