For the JeOeroniau. A Victim. BY II. LAXGFORD. Mr. harie. Russell formerly resided in Sclio II e now lives in Albanv. Rus sell appears to be the victim of nnpro pitious circumstances. Rus?ell has an unhappy faculty of doing business con trary to law. On Tuesday Mr. Kussell was arrested for the eleventh time since autumn set in. e give his examina tion: Well, Russell, you' are here agin, I perceive." " Yes, sir: the facet is, squire, I'm a wictim. Rlow me if I cara what Bobby Russell does, lie is sure to wiolate some law or other. When I comes to Albany i says to myseit liussell, my boy, we II take a hunt to morrow and try them fox - uounds. ell, str, out 1 goes, and what do you think? Before I got to the next corner Barney Whelan tapped me on the shoulder and says Old feller, that's agin the law!' What's agin the law V I replies, and be says, having dogs in the street without muzzles.'. He accord ingly arrested me, and brought me before the police court. The result of that piece of.fuu was a fine of five dollars. ' Well, what did I do then?" " Can't say." " Well, listen and I tell you. I sold the gfrox hounds to one of Aunt Put's friends for twenty dollars. With the proceeds I bought a sow and five pigs. I took them home, built a pen in the back yard, aud thought all my troubles were at an end; but I was mistaken. Officer Bradwell called upon me the very next day and says : Russell, keeping hogs in the yard is ain the law.' I doubted it. This riled Officer Bradwcll, who had me arrested again. This time I was fined five dollars." Well, what did you then?" " 1 sold my sow and pigs and bought a horse and cart, and undertook to draw wood. The very first load I put on drew the attention of policeman Sickles, who said that driving a cart without a license was 'agin the law.' lie arrested me for that "offence, which caused me another One of five dollars." " Well, what did you do next?" " I sold the horse and cart and bought the half of a charcoal was;on." u Well, what success did you meet with after that7" " The same old luck, sir. The first day I commenced peddling, policeman Snooks took me by the collar and says ' Russell, that's agin the law, old feller.' ' What's agin the law?' I said. He re plied, ' Selling charcoal in a wooden mea sure.' That cost me a fine of three dollars." " Did that drive you out of the char coal business?" " Yes, sir: I sold out, and thought I would try niy fortune in carrying bag- gage between the steamboats and rail- roads. But what's the use? I only com menced work to-day, and here I am ft again. What for now?" 41 For soliciting luggage without a per mit from the Mayor. As I said before, I'm a wictim. If I could save a man from drowning by jumping into a whirl pool, dash my vig if I don't believe the first policeman I met cn coming ashore would up and say, ' It's agin tbe law, Russell, to go overboard without a license from the coronor." . The justice having heard Mr. Russll to the end, admitted that he was a " wic tim," and let him off this time without paying a fine. Russell left the office say ing that he would go and kill himself, " if it were not for one thing." On be ing asked what that was, he replied, that some policeman would discover it was " agin the law to commit suicide," and undertake tocollest tho fine from his " misfortinit children." Russell's case calls for sympathy. We hope it will meet with it. When Buel and Bragg made their cel ebrated race for Louisville on lines par allel with each other, many of the regi ments of ihe former became considerably demoralized, and not a little mourning and lamentation went out from hundreds of hen roosts and pig pties. On one oc casion a long, slab sided Illinoisian was trudging along the Bardstown turnpike with an enormous cobbler thrown over his shoulders. The Colonel, noticing him, rode up, and doubtless thinking that that species of bird should be seen no where in camp excepting at head quarters, demanded ; "Where did you get that turkey?" and how dare you straggle from the command to rob against orders ? With an expression of countenance as innocent as a seraph's, the fellow replied. Well, Colonel, I captured him back here, and as he couldn't take tho oath I thought I'd bring him along 1" From the "bummer" point of view the answer was pertinent; but the Colonel held diflereut views, aud ordered it into the custody of the comissary. Theuce o course, to head-quarters table. "Hurrah there, Pete! this answers fine, ly, it's the best barrow I hava-had for a long time, you need'ut look." ' It's a very curioua barrow," said Pete as Jem set off. ' How curious," paid the latter. " Because," said Pete slyly, 44 because, it's made different from others. It has a wheel at ono end nnd a fool at tho other." Was'ct it tart of oil Pete?

When he marries her, he is a good man, he expects to find in her one who is not to control him uot to take from him the freedom of acting as his own judgment shall direct, but one who will place such confidence in him, as to believe that his prudence is his best guide.

Be assured that one difference out weighs them all a thousand or ten thou- sand times. A difference with your band ought to be considered as the great est calamity as one that is to be studi ously gaurded against; it is'a "demon which must never be permitted to enter a habitation where all should be peace, unimpaired confidence and heartfelt af fection. Besides what can a woman gaiu by opposition or indifference? Nothing. But she looses her husband's respect for her virtues; she looses his love; and, with that, prospect of future happiness She creates her own misery, and then'ut ters idle silly complaints, but utters them in vain. The love ot a husband can be retained only by the high opinion which he entertains of his wife's .goodness of heart, of her amiable disposition, of tUe sweetness of her temper, of her prudence, of her devotion to him. Let nothing up on any occasion, ever lessen that opinion. On the contrary it should augment every day; he should have much more reason to admire her of those excellent qualities which will cast a lustre over a virtuous woman when her personal attractions arc no more. Has your husband staid out longer than you expected ? hen he returns, receive him as the partner of your heart. Has he disappointed you in something you ex pected, whether of ornament or furni ture, or of any convenience? Never evince discontent; receive his apology with cheerfulness. Does he, when you are housekeeper, invite company without informing you, or bring a friend with him? Whatever be your repast, however scanty it may be, or how impracticable it may be to add to it, receive them with a pleasing countenance, adorn your table with cheerfulness, givo to your husband and your company a hearty welcome; it will more than compensate for every other deficiency; it will evince love for your husband, good sense m yourself, and that politeness of manners which acts as the most powerful charm! It will give to the plainest fare a zest superior to all tbatlux ury can boast. Never be discontented on any occasion of this nature. In the next place, as your husband's success in his profession will depend upon his popularity, and ns the manners of a wife have no little influence in extending or lessening me respeci auu esteem oi .1" . 1 .-C others for her husband, you should take care to be affable and polite to the poor est as well as the richest.

Do not devote much of your time to novels; there are a fow which may be. useful and improving in giving a higher tone to our moral sensibility, but they tend to vitiate the taate, and to pro duce a disrelish for substantial intellectu al food. Most plays have the same cast; they are not friendly to the deiioacy which is one of the ornaments of the female character. History, geography, poetry, moral essays, biography, travels, 6ermons and other well written religious produc ttons, will not fail to enlarge your under- taadisg, to render you a uicre agreeatle companion, and to exalt your virtue.

An eminent physician of Dublin says : 44If an end were put to the drinking of port, puuch and porter, there would soon be an end of my worldly prosperity. Physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries would be ruined, our medical halls would be stripped of their slpcndor, and disease would be comparatively, rare, simple, and manageable. Twenty years' cxpcricuce has convinced me that, were ten young men, when of age, to commence drinking oue glass of ardent spirits, or a pint of port or sherry, and continue to drink that quantity daily, the lives of eight of them would be abridged twelve or fift ccn years." Would that every young man in the land could read this !

The half-dimes of 1802, more rare than any other coin in the America silver seiics, was bought for 15. Others sold for prices ranging from $3,75 to 1,25. Larga prices were paid far other coins, ol which the largest was for the silver dol lar of 1804, which was purchased by Mr. Lilienthal for $750.

S4. A Good Customer. A few days since, a dignified person, with the bearing and genteel appearance of a country merchant, stepped into a wholesale store in the city of Norwich, Coon., and, in a bland tone and insinua ting manner, inquired of the proprietor, if he sold gin by the barrel, at what price and if it was a good article. He would like to see a sample. Proprietor drew a large sized tumbler full. Country merchant tasted. 44 Ah J" said he, as he smacked his lips with a just suspicion of delight, "that's good gin. What can you let me have a barrel of that for ?" Proprietor named the price. "Remarkably good gin," said he, tak ing another sip. "That reminds me of some gin I bought in 1838," and he wen on with a long story about that particu lar gin, stopping occasionally to try the sample until it was all gone but a swal low. The story finished, he tossed off the ballance of it, and remarked that hes liked the gin, and would come in and leave his order after making a few pur chases elsewhere, left the store. An hour afterward, while the proprie tor was waiting upon some customers, the gin buyer returned, and this time tackled 0De of the clerks with : "I have got to buy some "gin to day, and if you have got a first-rate article I should like to see a sample of it." Another large sized tumbler full was forthcoming, aud the old fellow tasted of it. Then be turned it round, held it upr to the light, and tasted again. Then ho smacked his lips, inquired the price, and took another sip. Then he remarked.. that it was very cold weather and took a good swallow. Then he commented on the gin, and indulged in a few reflections upon how much more gin cost now than it did in 1S3S. He kept on talking and he kept on drinking, and tbe clerk kept, on waiting to consumate the trade. He was such a dignified man, and war so evidently a good judge of, as well as a large dealer in gin, that the -clerk wasu not disposed to hurry him. But as ha wa3 taking down the last swallow, the-.: proprietor came around. "Look here, sir; do you want to buy my gin ?" The old fellow's dignity melted in an, instant. Putting his hand in his over coat, he drew out a pint bottle, and in the meekest and mildest voice imagin able replied : "Yes, a,half pint in this bottle." - Forgot to Look Up. I have somewhere seen the story of a man who went one evening to steal eorcs from his neighbor's field. He took his little boy with bin to sit on the fence and keep a look-out, so as to give warning iu case any one should come along. The man jumped over the fence with a large bag on his arm, and, before commencing to take the corn, he looked all around, first one way and then the other, and not seeing any person, he was just about to fill his bag. Then the little fellow, his son a good little fellow he was, too cried out : "Father, there is one way you hava't looked yet !" Tbe father was startled, and supposed that some one was commiog. He asked his son which way he meant. "Why," said the little boy, "you forge Sl. to look up !" The father was conscience-stricken ; he came back over the fence, took his lit tle boy by the hand, aud hurried quietly, home without corn which he had designed to take. The little boy had reminied him that the eyes of God were upon him. "The eyes of the Lork are in every, place beholding the evil and the good.!' Not Bad. A divine in Georgetown, D. C, in one of his sermons lately, used as a quotation the scriptural query : "Where are the-, nine ?" Ou a repetition of the question, a demure looking young gentleman who had been nodding sud Jenly roused up atxl was heard innocently to respond: They're playing a Washington club." A gentleman residing a short distance north cf Iluutsville, Ohio, told from his farm, a few days ago, a single curled black walnut tree to a Boston dealer for $800. The tree was not a exceedingly large one at that. The purchaser, after the tree had been felled, aud its true value ascer tained, remarked that he would not take 52,000 for it. A man was couvictsd last Wednesday; in a Philadelphia court, on a charge of assault aud battery on a lady. The as sault was novel. From the top of a house he cast the reflection of the sun in the eye of the lady with a piece of looking lass. Tho jury very properly decided it a crime committed after due reflection. An old lady announced in court at At lanta that she "had no counsel," that "God was her lawyer." "My dear mad am " replied the judge, "ho does not prac tice in this court." ,., It has been definitely ascertained t&ifr iioue of the spurious seven-thirtita beat date prior to August 18 ; which will re lieve (be minds of the holders of bonds oi a previous date. - Mutilated Notes of national banks musa be presented for reve.wptioa V thsluakA vvhkh Lsiifti thera. i r A
