Suppose a man confined in some fortress, under the doom to stay- there till his death ; and suppose there is there for his use a dark reservoir of water, to which he is certain none can ever be ad ded, He knows, that the quantity is not very great—he cannot penetrate to ascer tain how much, but it may be very little, Ho has drawn from" it, by means of a fountain, a good while already, and draws from it every day. But how would he feel each time of drawing, and each time thinking of it? Not as if he had a peren-! niel spring to go to. Not have a reser- 1 voir, I may be at ease.' .No ! but, had water yesterday—l have water to-day ; but having had it, and may have it to-day-, is the very cause that I shall not have it on some day that is approaching, And at the same time I am compelled to this fatal expenditure !' So of our mortal transient life ! And yet men are very much dispos ed to admit the plain truth, that life is a thing which they are in no other way posH sessing, than as neessarily consuming; and that even in this imperfect son e of pos-; session, it becomes every day Iss xissos..! sion." WeAR A SMILE.---WhiCh will you do-- smile, and make others happy, or be crab; bed, and make every body around you mis erable ? You can live among beautiful flowers and singing birds, or in the mire, surrounded by fogs and frogs. The amount of happiness you can produce is incalcula ble, if you will show a smiling face—a kind heart—and speak pleasant words.— On the other hand, by sourlooks, cross words, and a fretful disposition, you can make scores and hundreds wretched al most beyond endurance. Which will you do ? Wear a pleasant countenance—let joy beam in your eyes, and love glow on your forehead. , There is no joy so great as that which springs from a kind act or a pleasant deed—and you may feel it at night when you rest, at morning -when you rise, and through the day, when about your dai ly business. smile—who will refuse a smile, The sorrowing breast-to cheer ! And turn to love the heart of guile, And check the falling tear? A pleasant smile for every face, 0 'tis a blessed thing! It will the lines of care erase, And spots of beauty bring." PROFANITY.—The least pardonable' of all vices to which the folly or cupidity of main is addicted, says an excellent writer, is that of swearing. Could he, who so freely indulges 'in profanity and indecent, language ; in fine, could the profane swear er, behold him'sclf in a glass, as others be. hold him,' he would shrink from his own iinnge al- from a thing n.f contamination. I "IT ' S ALL BIGHT, ITS ONLY ME,"—A 1 BOLD THlEF."—Between throe and four o', clock, on Wednesday morning, one of the 1 city watch, whilst walking in the vicinity I of Dock and Second streets, saw the reflec t tion of a light over the door of the clothing 1 store of Mr. Robert Clifton, at the North. oast corner of those streets, and supposing 1 that something was wrong, stepped up to I to the door, and ratttled at the handle.— ' The person within responded to the call by saying, "Is that you, watchman ?" The watchman, as is natural under all the cir cumstances, supposed the person_ in the store to be the proprietor thereof, and walk ed away. Not long after another watch man's attention was attracted by the light, and upon rattling at the door, the person said,-"slop a minute, watchman, and I'll let you in." Presently the door was un locked, and in walked the suspecting" Char fie." Some remarks passed between him and the supposed thief, which were of such a nature as induced the watchman to think the man was proprietor of the store.— "Why, you're up late," said the watchman. "Yes, I thought I might as well sleep here as go home," replied the man, at the same time raking the fire, and inviting the watch man to warm lift - itself by the stove. The latter took a seat, and the man picked up the coal shuttle, walked into the street, anti emptied the ashes into the gutter. , He then returned, and entered into quite a familiar conversation with the watchman, upon their arduous duties, the near approach of Christmas, and various other subjects.— The watchman at length having thorough ly warmed himself, rose, and bidding the man "good-bye," proceeded on his round, The former watchman, who was acquaint ed with the proprietor of the store, did not get in, and the watchman who did get in, was not acquainted with him. Thus it will be seen that the thief played his part well, The watchmen. of course were fair ly dumstruck, after day-break, when they found that the fellow had 'decamped with several hundred *dollars' worth of coats, pants, & c.—Philadelphia Sun A Swzrr HORSE.—The Maine Farmer tells a number of tough stories about a man whom it calls ‘'Neverbeat." Here is one of the best of them : • "A gentleman was boasting, in the pre sence of Neverbeat, abou t the speed of his horse, which, he said, would trot a mile in side of three minutes, and follow it for three consecutive miles, ze 1.111t1t; KIIIIMCS am t ! much. to brag about," said Neverbeat, “.Why the other day 1 was up .to S—, sixteen miles distant. Just as I started for home, a shower Caine sweeping on.— The rain struck in the back part of the wagon, and the moment it struck I hit old Kate a cut with the whip, and away she trotted, scarcely touching her feet to the ground. She kept just nip and nip with the shower. The wagon was filled' with water, but not a- drop fell on ',le. Old Kate can't be beat by any piece of horse-) llesh in the State. When she goes, she goes it." "Smart horSe or lazy shower," said the ! gentleman as lie .mizzled.' MOURNING APPAREL.-111 lilurope, black is generally-used beeause it represents dark ness, unto which death is like,.as it is a privation of life. In China, white is used because they hope the dead is in Heaven, the place of purity. In Egypt, yellow is used because it represents the decaying flowers and trees which become yellow as they decay. In Ethiopia, brown is used because it denotes the color of the earth, from whence we came and whence we re turn. A correspondent of the Cl otiose() Farmer, says:--'The best way of banishing mice and rats from mows and bins of grain, and all similar places we have hoard of, is scattering the branches of ?flotilla virldis or common spearmint about in the mows when packing away grain, or strewing o ver the bins of grain, casks of apples, &c,, exposed to their depredations. ~llre have tried it, so have our neighbors, and found it to be effectual.' • In England, Scotland and Ireland, more than one half the field labor is perlbrmed by women, who work for ten pence a day ! —den hours hard service for ten pence!
