New Publications Romancy oy THe Hangem; by Miss Pardoe; New York : Fetridge & Co. For sale by Col. Joe Shillington. r England cannot boast of an authoress equal to Miss Pardoe in point of genius, ability and industry. Her works on the era of Louis the Fourteenth, ocoupy a high place among the standard literature of Great Britain, and she was equally successful in giving a faithful and interesting picture of the ‘‘City of the Sultan’ Admitted, while at Constantinople, into the secret precincts of Seraglio point, and the more charming Harems which border the Bosphorus, she is not forced to draw upon her imagination for a description of lo- calities, nor issbe at a loss in narrating the in-door life of the degiaded Mosloms of her own sex. The recent invasion of English and French troops has made ead innovation* on Mabommedan social life, and this work of Miss Pardoe s has consequently a historical value not often attached to a work of fiction The plot is, nevertheless, on ingenious web of romance, embroidered with the beauties of Oriental passion, and deeply interesting Fetridge & Co., by publishing this sterling romance, have added to their reputation as purveyors of a superior order of works for the public taste.

Taking the Assessment. The following good story we find in the last West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter: When the immortal Col. was Asses- sor of aneighboring Parish, he was wont to have a highold time. One day, as he was as- sessing the valuables of the occupants of a log cabin, situated in the Pine woods, he in his usual urbane manner, ‘‘ popped the ques- tions’’ to the old woman, while the old man had gone out to procure some ‘corn cob oil” wherewith to regale his guest. ‘How many horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, &c., have you got, my dear madam, and how much are they worth.’’ ‘Well, thar’s three old horses, but they aint wuth a cent—three cows, but they’ve bin lost this spring two years—nary sheep, “cept m: old man, and he aint wuth a cuss; but be al- lers votes the Demmyorack ticket, and buys his whiskey by the jug when he can get ita heap cheaper by the bar'l The chickens war all stole the other night, an’ I hope to massy they'll pizen the scamp that hooked ‘em.” “Very satisfactory estimate of your valua- bles, particularly about the old man—but here’s something worth assessing (pointing to a dirty little urchin about five years old that was clinging to the old woman’s gown) how much do you value that little nigger at?” “ Little nigger! sakes alive! you infernal old rascal, do you dare tocall my child a nig- er? Clar out ’o here, or Ill knock the day- fights out ’o you in a minnit. O my! to think I should live to be forty odd next class meeti: and to hear my own child called a nigger by such a fellow as you!” By this time the old woman had worked herself up to a pitch of poperermablo fury, and raising her voice to a shrill yell, she called out to the old man, to come quick and *‘ chaw the Colonel up,’’ and we are compelled by an inward reward for veracity, to record that the Colonel’s old bay made six miles of bad road in better time than Lecomte ever did in his palmiest days. A deputy was sent to attend tothe unfinished business in the settlement, and the Colonel's remembrance of that day’s work has ‘hoisted’? him into the other ex- treme, for the last and bi fight he wasin was occasioned by his entering upen his record when taking the last census - six little mulat- toes ag the children of one of bis constituents. a Wasuixeton Canonizep.—Did you know that Washington had been placed in the cal- ender of saints?

How Brother Clarke got in the Tobacco Juice. A few years ago, when Parson Bacon, a comical old gentleman from Penn Yan, New York, who cocasionally warned the sinner of t in, was sojourning in the great lumber- tng region of Pine Creek, in Lycoming county, he was invited to deliver a discourse one even. ing at an old school house. The Parson was always ready to attend to an invitation of this kind, and, as he was to preach to the sturdy lumbermen, be was doubly anxions, and eas dicnomeey 3 evening for the en- gagem a ved. and on repairing to the school house he found large i alresdy assembled. . — The service was opened in the usua! man- ner, and the Parson was very eloquent, and dwelt for some time upon the necessity of speedy repentance on the part of the sinner if he wished to enjoy salvation Nothing una- sual oceurred till near the close of the exor cises, when he observed Brother Clarke (the same man that had the adveutare with the bears in Potter couvty, recently) seated near aeturdy Vermonter, clad ina red shirt, fe- riously chewing an enormous quid of tobacco and squirting the juice all around unt: the was completely fdooded. Impedjately on this discovery, the idea—some a call it wicked—entered his head to perpetra‘e a joke on Brother Ciggko, and he called on bim to close the meeting with prayer, knowing very well that he would be compelled to knoe! down in the sea of tobacco juice. He looked around mournfully for a momenf, but there was no other alternasive, and then slowly un- folding his clean handkerchief, placed it un der his knees, and then offered up # prayer remarkable for its brevity. During its deliv ery the Parsou was quietly watching bim from behind the desk, and smiling at the joke After the meeting was dismissed, ‘afd they ing out, Parson Bacon sidted up to nd innocently observed that these dirty fellows should and squirt their tobacco juice around in euch a vulgar manner, making it impossible for the sisters to pass out without spoiling their dresses.’’ “« Yes,” Brother Clarke in a pitifal tone, ‘‘itisindeed ridiculous.

Away with your Judas kisses. Don’t hold that confiding band in yours a half an hour, telling us how much yok are interested in our welfare, how cordially you wish us success; and then speak our name dierespectfully to the next friend you meet, magnifying our faults, lapghing at our weakness, and telling our soothe which we had confided to your care, thinkin; your bo- som a perfect “Salamander safe,” which even the fire of persecution would fail to ex- tract from thence.
