SI Mr Dear Friends The 'debt that sits heaviest upon the of a provided he is one, is fthe debt due the printer. It presses harder on one’s bosom than the night mare galls the soul, frets and chafes every enobling sen timent, squeezes all the Juice of fraternal sympathy from the heart, and leaves it dryer than the surface of a roasted potato. A man who wrongs the printer out of a single red cent can never expect to en joy the comforts of this world, and may well have doubts of finding happiness in any other. “ 1,20 A. 51, “ 11,60 “ “ 7,00 P.

If there be one of you in this congregation who has not settled his account with the printer, go and adjust it immediately, and be able to hold up your head in Society like a giraffe; be respected by th« wise and the good; free from the torture of a guilty conscience, the mortification of re peated duns, and escape from falling into tha clutches of lawyers, which is one and the kame thing. If you are honest ‘and honorable men,-you will go forth and l pay the printer. You will not wait for to-morrow —it is but a visionary receptacle for unredeemed promises—ru addlsd egg in the great nest of = the future, and the debtor’s hope mid the creditor’s curse. If you arc dis honest low mindea sons of Satan, I .do not suppose you will pay the printer, as you have no reputation to loose, no character to sustain, no morals to cultivate. But let me tell you, my friends, that if you do it, your paih to .the tomb will he strewed with thorns-; you will have to gather ypur food from brambles, your children will die of dysenjtery, yourselves will never enjoy the blessings of health. .'

Many amusing anecdotes of ventrilo qtasts have been published, and many more told, that have not been published: But we think the are few ventriloquil Incidents that will , compare With one we Witnessed recently on the oars of the Virginia Cen tral Hailraid. We have read anecdotes of ftiohols, Kenworthy, Love, Sutton, Har rington and Blitz, but think the following actual occurrence rwill bear favorable men tion, side by side with either. The cam left Charlottevile, Va., for Staunton, at 12 m., and entered the tun nel, Which sis very long and very dark, about half past I p. m. We had hardly been shut out from daylight, when a noise was heard |n the reaJf end of the last car. The and several passengers, who were standing on the platform, entered the I car with aview to discover the cause of the disturbance. But owing to the extreme '.darkness, nothingicould be seen. While patiently waiting to hear the slightest movement, which ; might explain the ex-> citement, a! boisterous noise, resembling the sound produced by fervent kissing and.at the,, same moment a female voice was heard Exclaiming; f “ Get out you brute ! Let me alone ! 111 call the conductor! Keep your hands off sir I This is shameful!" li Where- is he !” ; cried the conductor in an angry tone, approaching the direc tion whence the sounds proceeded. “ Here !f says the lady, “this end of the car, arrest him! he insulted me shame fully—here he is again I Will you let me alone ? I tllink it a burning shame that a respectable lady should be treated in this manner V* - “ Get in the ladies’ car, then !” shouted a gruff voice.' “ You have no business here !’’ “She has a right here!” replied the conductor, seizing :the individual he sup posed guilty of a misdemeanor. “ You needn’t grabb me,” said a husky voiced old man ; “ I didn’t touch her; I haven't seen a woman inr the car!” The conductor : scented confused, and retraced his stops to the forward end of the car. Again the voice was heard, ap parently in the roar. “ Here he is again, conductor! Go away ! quit I let me aloue ! this is shame ful ! Keep your hands to yourself, sir ! I’ll leave the car! You follow if you dare?” ' This language was followed by an ex plosion resembling' the concussion of two lips. All Was confusion. The sympathi zing passengers were ail standing up, highly excited ; but owing to the darkness and the uncertainty that existed from whence the;sounds proceeded, nothing was done. A noise like the rustling of silk was heard , the rear door of the car opened and then closed with a banging sound, making the extraordinary stillness which followed fearful to contemplate, which fearfulness increased to horror, when the conductor Announced that the lady' must have stepped off the platform, as there was no car attached. The cars were stopped by tie signal rope, and 3 lantern procured, when the passengers headed by the conductor, gro ped slowly and silently back through the tunnel, expectih£ momentarily to discover the mutilated remains of the unfortunate female. But ajfter searching back to the mouth of the tunnel, nothing'was found, and they sadly retraced their steps. Upon arriving at the train, a passenger suggested that the,cause of the excitement be arrested;’ and in the cars went the party searching qvery seat until they came to a person, leaping forward 011 the back of a seat in front op him, apparently asleep,— Xhp conductor rotighly shook the sleeper, when he raised his head, when lo! and behold, ii was Wyman, the ventriloquist. liie party very reluctantly swallowed the unmitigated “sell.” The cars started and sped on to their place of destination, having been detained one hour over time. will not quarrel with you about my opinion, only see that your heart be right toward God, that you know aid love tlie Lord Jesus Christ, that you love your neighbor, and walk as your master walked, and i desire no mpre. lam siek of opin ions ; I am weary to hear them ; my soul loathes this frothy ’ food. Give me solid and substantial religion; give me a bum ble gentle lover of God and man ; a man full of merqy and good faith; without par tiality, and without hypocracy; a man laying himself out jin the work of faith, the patience of hope, the labor of love. — Let ray soul be ivith these Christians; wheresoever they [are, and whatsoever opinion they are df-—JbA» Wesley. , Aw Irish Loth Qch Paddj! swate Paddy! if I-Was yef daddy, I’d kill y6u 'with kisses* ehtirely.; if I .was your brother, and likewitfe your mother, I’d geo that you went to ; hied airly. To taste .of yOur breath I woßld starve me to dgath, and lay of my hoops altogether ; to just : haye a taste of ydari arin cmine waist.and lajif at the ipanegt of weather Bear Pad- mine,y me John sweat v^ehtine— [inimbkendent in EVERYTHING.] I-.- r Col* Smttb lit the Jonei Family. “ Well, after dark T put up with a first rate, goddnatured fellow that I met at the billiard, table. I went in and was intro ducedto his wife, a fine, fat woman, look ing as though she lived on laffin', her face was so full of fan. After a while, after we’d talked about my girl, and about the garden, and about the weather, in come three or four children, laffin’ and skipping as merry as crickets. There , was no can dle lit, but I could see that they were fine looking fellqws, and I started for my sad dle-bags in which I bad put a lot of sugar candy as I went along. “ Oome here,” said I, “ you little rogue; come here and tell me what your name is.’, The oldest came to me and says; “My name is Peter, Jones.” “ And what’s your name, sir?” “ Bob Jones.” ■ The next said his name was Bill Jones, and the fourth said his name was Tommy Jones. I gave ’em sugar candy, and old hire. Jones was so tickled that she laugh ed all the time. Mr. Jones looked on, but didn’t say much. “ Why,” says I, “ Mrs. Jones, I would not takei a good deal for them four boys, if. I had ' ’em, they are so beautiful and sprightly.” “ Ko,” says she, biffin’, “ Dset a good deal on ’em, but we spoil ’em too much.” “Ko, no,” says .1, “ they’re well be haved children, and by gracious,” says I, protending to be startled by a striking re semblance between the boys and father, and I looked at Mr. Jones, “I never did see anything equal to it,” says I, “ your own-eyes, mouth, forehead, and perfect pictur’ of hair, sir,” tapping the eldest on the pate. _ I thought that Mrs. Jones would have died laffin’ at that; her arms fell down by her side, and she shook LhcVhole house. “Do you think so, Mr, Smith ?” said she, looking towards Mr. Jones, and I tho’t she’d go off in l a fit. “ Yes,” says I, “ I do really.” “Haw, haw, haw,” says Mr. Jones;- kind o’ lathin’, “you are too hard on me, now, with your jokes.” “ I ain’t a joken’ at all,” says I; “ they are handsome children, and do look won derfully like you.” Just then a-gal brought alight in, and I’ll be darned if the little brats didn’t turn out to be niggers, every one of’em, and their heads curly all over. 31r. and Mrs. Jones never had any children, and they petted them niggers as play things.\ I never felt so streaked as I did when I found out how things stood. - To Delay Blossoms. —Any fruit trees may bo made to bloom sufficiently late in the season to prevent the fruit from beinq injured by the frost, and consequently present a fine, heavy crop, by the following judicious treatment:—ln the middle of winter, when the ground is most severely frozen, put a large pile of wheat straw or oak leaves around the roots, letting it ex tend some distance in every direction, so as to cover the extended roots that ap proach the surface of the earth. Cover this pile with planks or boards, so that no rain can fall upon the pile. Let this cover remain until all danger from frost has pas sed. Then remove the cover and straw and look for a splendid crop to fullow soon. The rationale of this is : the frozen earth will not thaw until late in the spring, if the pile remain ; and while the eartb is frozen the trees cannot bloom ; but when the danger is past, remove the covering, and the tree will bloom speedily. Try it, famer.friends. —Hew Yorker. Men’s' Eyes will Wander. —Show but a strip of white stocking above your boot, or a bit of an embroidered skirt; or a Balmoral, and you may lead a New York er by the nose all over Manhattan, though airmail street stand waiting for Him.— I.have positively seen gentlemen stand at the ferry gate when their arms were half broken with bundles, eargerly bobbing their heads, this way and that to catch a sight of the gaiter boots as they alighted from the various omnibuses. And not all young men either, but gray-headed old codgers, who had grandpa written all over them. “Why should a woman care abont it if her ankeb be pretty ?” “ Care ?” It may be just possible that if an exhibition is fore-ordained and inevitable, she may prefer to choose her audience. Working up Sawdust.— The inge nuity of Parisian cabinet niakers in the Faubourg St, Antoine, has found a use for common;sawdust which raises the val ue of that commodity far above the worth of solid timber. By a new process, com bining the, hydraulic „press and the, appli cation of intense heat, these wooden parti cles; are made to re-form themselves into a solid mass, capable of being moulded into any shape, and presenting a brilliant surface, a durability and beauty of appear ance not found in ebony, rosewood, or mahogany. lib h> said -that a roasted onion hound hulim,wiU&opibe Sian’s Superiority. There is an intolerant spirit in the breast of man, whi ch ought to be -rebuked. Re is continually attacking, and,—j almost would say-—attempting td degrade Her whom he pretends to elevate. * She is made the subject of ridicule - and jest in every place. Pick up the public Journals, and i their columns are filled with burlesque accounts of some accidents befalling some unfortunate lady in hoops.'■ Editors and writers hard been doating over this sub ject for the last (year or Suppose ladies do wear hoops ifit .be their good pleasure, in what way does it concern man ? It most tnfly bo a morbid taste that can enjoy such silly nonsense, and yet we are told that man is strong-minded. ' If it Is not hoops it is gossip, and if not gossip it is woman’s rights dr something else—and continually he amuses- himself, quite for getting his own faults. “ Mao, proud man, dressed in a little brief au thority, Plays such fantastic tricks before High Heaven, as make the angels veep," Did not the dignity of our sex demand a rebuke, I should lay down my pen and keep silent; but when the manifest and gross injustice of the haughty Lord of Creation becomes so apparent, I think I should be untrue to my sex klid I not re sent his insolence. - Has man any superiority to boast of ? If so, what is it? is it when he struts along the street with a horse blanket thrown over his shoulders, thinking that he looks very effeminate ? Or is'it when he is indulging in the use of’*tobacco, making himself an object of disgust to all decent persons? He is unfit for the "parlor, and even profanes the house of God with this fihhy habit. Perhaps it is when drinking spiritoud liquors, and reel ing to and fro, or lying in the gutter in a state of beastly intoxication. Perhaps it is in the tyranny which he displays to wards our sex, forcing us to labor for half the rcnumevatioQ that he would give to his own. If these are not his excellencies, then where is his boasted supremacy ? Echo answers where? Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. .1 am not in favor ot woman’s rights as advocated by fanatics, but as good sense and modes ty demand. A Lady of Dignity. A New Invention.— -Mr. Norman Wlard, of Wisconsin, proposes to construct a watertight iron boat for the conveyance of passengers and freight on the ice,‘with greater safety, economy and speed than can be done by any other known means of transit. These boats will entirely supersede the necessity of railroads in winter, where built parallel to rivers in cold climates. — The track costs nothing, and is kept in repair without expense; a depth of snow which would stop a train of cars would make no visible impression on the speed or progress of this ice-boat. ; If the icc should fail, the boat would rest upon the water, and by the power of the engines could be launched upon, the iee with greater ease than a locomotive could be replaced upon tbe track when off. The boat which I first propose; to build, will be twelve feet in width by seventy feet in length,,and when resting upon tbe water would displace' about one foot in depth. It will be propelled by a pair of locomoljive engines, acting on a single driving-wheel, to which adhesion is given -by various devices. He now wishes to obtain sufficient cap ital to enable him to construct one of these boats, for immediate use on the Up per Mississippi. A Fatalist. —A western paper pub lishes the following: “ I knew an old man who believed that ‘ what was to be would be." He lived in a region infested by very Ravage Indians. lie uhvays took his gun with him, hut this time he found that some of his family had taken it out. As ho would not go without it, his friends tantalized him, by saying that there was no danger of the Indians; that he would npfc die till his time came anyhow. ‘ Yes,’ says the. old fellow, ‘ but suppose, I was to meet an Indian, and his time was pome, it wouldn’t do not to have my grin.’” An ingenious downeaster has con structed a immature factory village, with engines, wheels, windmills,'callages, wa terfalls, persons waking, playing, swing ing, &c., and the whojfe ?ci: delicately ar ranged, and so nicely adjtoted, as to ha put iu complete operation hy a single mouse, which travels in a Small circular cage, as squirrels are often seen doing.

I6f* Some one takes off the peculiar ad jective system now in use, and deservedly, too: “At the break&st table,” says he, “ coffee, excruciatingly hot, is poured out of a lovely pot, and accompanied by bread and butter of infinite excellence. In oar walks—when the vile weather does hot prevent our walking—we have the sweet est vessels that ever sailed the waters, the most exquisite cows that ev?r ato grass; and returning agonized with, cold, wejaot seldom find a heavenly fire* by which we sit down enraptured, comfortably bewail ing the cruel shortness of thqdaysj and the eternal length of the larly when we have an immeasurable quantity of nuts, to crack, of which the la dies declare themselvesto be devotedly fond. The indulgence in such expletives is a sure sign of an imperfect education.
