A pretty young ntaid with a bundle of work,
Whose lace ai the morning was fair,
Went tripping altJng with a smile of delight,
While humming a loro-breathing air.
i •
She looked on the, carriage—the lady she saw.
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said, in; a whisper, “1 wish from my heart
Those satins and laces were mine.”
■ r •
The lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair in a calico dress,
And said, “ I’d relinquish position and wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess.”
Thus in this, world, whatever our iot,
Our minds and bar time we employ
In longing and sighing for what wo hare not,
Ungrateful for wliut'we enjoy.
We welcome, the pleasures for which we hare sighed ;
-The hearthaa a iroid in'it still,
Growing deeper and. wider the longer we live.
That nothing but heaven can fill.
Old Horsey. You’re too Late.
This is a country for jokes, and
we have just had one that is too good to
keep.
Early this morning there were added
to our company of travelers a pair who
looked like runaways; the gentleman was
a tall, raw-«bone. specim of the half-horse
halt-ulligator' class, and the Iddy a fail*
match for- him; Among the passengers
from Napoleon fs a solemn looking gentle
man, who has all along been taken for a
preacher. About nine o'clock last night
I was conversing with the “ reverend”
gentleman; when a young man stepped up,
and addressing: him remarked, “ We’re
going to hive a ; wedding, and would like
to have you officiate.” “All right, sir,” he
replied, laughingly, and we stepped into
the ladies’caßtt, when, sure enough, the
couple stood waiting. There had been
some kissing games, and several mock
marriages good thro’ with during the
evening, and I supposed this was merely
a continuation ofthe sport; and so thought
the “ preacher,” who, I could see, had a
good deal; of humor in him, and was in
clined to promote general feeling and mer
riment. The Couple stood up before him,
(a good deal mpire solemn than was nec
essary in a mock, marriage, 1 thought,) and
the “ preacher” asked the necessary ques
tions, and then,; proceeding in the usual
way, announced them “ husband and wife.”
There was !a good dpal of fun afterward,
and when it was over I left the cabin—
and so did the preacher,” who remarked
to me that he liked to see the young folks
enjoying themselves, and took a good deal
of pleasure in contributing to their fun ;
bat did not understand why they should
select him to act the preacher.
Just theh sogie one called me aside, and
the old gentleman stepped into his state
room, which wda next tot mine. When I
returned the door stood open, and the
u preacher” stood just inside, with his
coat and vest offi; and one boot in his hand,
talking wiih the gentleman who played
the “ attendant” and who, as I came up,
remarked: Well, if that is the case it is
a good joke, for they are in dead earnest,
and have retired; to the same state-room.”
The old gentlelman raised both hands as
be exclaimed: “Good Heavens! you
dojo’t tell me so !” and rushing just as he
was, boot in baud, to the state room indi
cated, commenced an assault on the door
as if he would batter it down, exclaiming
at each lick:; “ For heaven’s sake don’t I
ain’t a preacher;!” The whole cabin was
aroused, evfcry s{ate room opening with a
slam, when j the door opened, and the Ar
kansas traveller] poking out his head,
coolly remarked: “Old boss you’re too
later ; .] : ir „

A lady was coming out of the opera
house, when a'thief snatched at her dia
mond ear-ring and tore it completely from
her ear, causing it to bleed. Upon her
return home, she found the ring lying in
the tresses of her hair. was
tried for stealing this ring, and,being'found
guilty by the jury, the opinion of the
judges was taken whether this would be
considered a sufficient taking ; this opin
ion of the judges was afterwards delivered,
in which they held that, as the ring had
been entirely removed from the lady’s ear,
and was wholly in the possession of the
prisoner, although but for an instant of
time, when he lost it in her hair, the ta
king vras complete. So, where a thief led
a horse from one part of a field to another,
intending to steal it, but was apprehended
before he could get the horse out of the
field, it was decided the taking was com
plete. In all these oases you will have
noticed the principle upon which they
have decided, is that the property must
'be completely severed from the possession
of the owner, no matter, in each case, for
how short a period of time. Two or three
showing what is not a sufficient ta
lcing, and then we will proceed to consid
er another branch of the subject. One
Wilkinson put his hand into the pocket of
another, seized his purse and actually suc
ceeded in taking it out of his pocket.—
However, the purse being tied by a piece
of string to a bunch of keys which still re
mained in the person’s pocket, the thief
was unable to accomplish his object, and
was arrested and tried for stealing the
purse; but it was held that as the purse
was still attached to the pocked of the
owner by the string and keys, it was still
in his possession, and the prisoner was en
titled to be acquitted. So, where a thief
went into a shop, took up some goods, in
tending to steal them, but before he had
removed them far from the spot on which
they lay, discovered they were tied to the
counter by a cord ; upon being tried for
stealing, it was held that the property
never was either completely severed from
the possession of the owner, nor complete
ly in the possession of the prisoner, and
he was acquitted.
A correspondent of the Manchester
Mirror relates an interesting incident
which he says occurred in Manchester.—
He states than in the fall of 1847 a young
man came to the city in quest of employ
ment. After weeks of unsuccessful search
he found himself without prospect of work
and considerably in debt for board. In
despair he made arrangements for dispo
sing of his clothing by auction in order to
defray his expenses, when a lefter was
sent to him containing twenty dollars, and
directing him to apply for the situation of
card-stripper to the overseer of one of the
corporations.' The letter also requested
him to sign a nqsp of hand for the amount
loaned, and to place it in a certain unoc
cupied bos in the Post Office wUen it
would be called for by the lender. The
young man did as he was directed, and
received the situation, the overseer sta
ting that it had been procured for him by
the earnest solicitation of a young lady.
Years passed away, and attempts to find
his creditor was unavailing. The young
man prospered in business and at length
plighted his affections to an estimable
young lady with whom ho had accident
ally become acquainted. On the day be
fore their marriage he received a letter re
questing him to call at a certain place and
pay the note for twenty dollars, wito in
terest, which he had signed some years
before.. Anxious to settle an indebted
ness which, from the mystery of the whole
affair, had occasioned many hours of un
happiness, he hastened to the place indi
cated, and was ushered by the domestic
into a parlor, where to his infinite aston
ishment he discovered in the person of
the unknown benefactor the lady to whom,
upou the next day, he was to unite his
fortunes. She was awaiting him
with the note in her hand. It was her
first business transaction, and the part
nership which followed bids fair to con
tinue happily through life.
Benevolence op Women.— The ccle
: hrated traveler, Ledyard, paid the follow
ing handsome tribute to 1 the female sex:
“1 have observed,” he says,“ that women
in all countries are civil, obliging, tender
and humane. I never addressed myself
to them in the language of decency and
friendship, without receiving a decent and
friendly answer. With man, it has been
otherwise. In wandering over the bar
ren. plains of inhospitable Denmark;
through honest Sweden, and frozen Lap
land ; rude and churlish Finland; unprin
cipled Russia; mid the wide-spred regions
of the wandering Tartar j, if hungry, wet,
cold o? sick, ue women have eve? been
friendly, and uniformly so; end to add to
this so worthy the of
benevolence,) actions have beed per
formed in W and kincf a manner, that

A Romantic Incident.
Harrying for Sloßejr,
A woman, who professes so speak from
experience, writes thus of marrying for
money: " ’ 1
‘‘ I was married for money. Thih was
ten years ago, and they have! been ten
years of purgatory. I have had bad luck
as a wife, for my husband and I have
scarcely one taste in common. He wish
es to live in the country, which I hate.—■
I like the thermometer at seventy-five de
grees, which he bates. He likes the chil
dren brought up at homo, instead of at
school, which 1 hate. I like music and
wish to go to concerts, which he hates.—
He likes roast pork, which 1 hate; and I
like minced veal, which he hates. There
is one thing which we both like, and is
what we both can’t hare, though we are
always trying for it—the last word. I
have had bad luck as a mother ; for two
such huge, passionate, unmanageable boys
never tormented a feeble mother since
boys began. I wish I, had called them
both Gain. At this moment they have
just been quarrelling over their marbles.
Mortimer has torn*off Orville’s collar, and
Orville has applied his colt-like heel upon
Mortimer’s ribs, while the baby, &enobias,
in my lap, who never sleeps n|ore than
half an hour at a time, and crips all the
time she is awake, has been aroused by
their din to scream in chorus.; I have
had bad luck fes a house-keeper, for I nev
er keep a chambermaid more than three
weeks. Audas to cooks, I look bewilder
ed ou the long phantasmagoria qf feces
through my kitchen, as a mariner
remembers a succession of thunder-gusts
and storms in the gulf of Mexico. My
new chambermaid bounded into the room
yesterday, flirting her dusters and mutter
ing Real old maid after all !’f j ust be
cause I showed her a table on which I
could write “ slut” with my fingers in the
dust. I never saw my plump, happy sis
ters, and then glance in the mirror at my
own cadaverous; long, doleful visage,
without wishing mysdlf an old maid.—
Yet half of my sex marry as I did —not
for love but for fear—fear of dying old
maids.” ■ °
A Sister’s Love.
There are no purer feelings kindled upon
the altar of human affections than a sister’s
pure, uncontaminatcd love for her brother.
It is unlike all other affections—so dis
connected with selfish , sensuality—so
feminine in its developement—so- dignifi-
and yet, withal, so fond and devoted.
Nothing can altar it—nothing can sup
press it. The world may revolve, and its
evolutions effect changes in the fortune,
in the character, and in the disposition ,of
the brother—yet, if he wants, whpse hand
will so speedily stretch, out as that of his
sister ? an dif his character is maligned,
whose voice will so readily swell in his ad
vocacy ? Next to a mother’s unquencha
ble love, a sister’s is pre-eminet. 'lt rests
so exclusively on the ties of consanguini
ty for its sustenance, it is so wboly dives
ted of passion, and springs from such a
deep recess in the human bosom, that
when a sister once fondly and deeply re
gards her brother, that affection is blend;
ed with her existence. In the annals of
crime, it is considered something: anoma
lous to find the hand of a sister Raised in
anger against her brother, or her heart
nurturing the seeds of envy, hatred or re
venge, in regard to that brother: i In all
affections of woman there is a devoted ness
which cannot be properly appreciated by
man. In these regards where the pas
sions are not all necessary in increasing
the strength of the affections, more sin
cere truth and pure feelings may be ex
pected than in such as are dependent upon
each other for their duration as well as
their felicities. A sister’s love, in this
respect, is peculiarly remarkable;: There
is no selfish gratification in its out-pouring;
it lives from the natural impulse, and per
sonal chaims are not in the slightest de
gree necessary to its birth or duration.
The Tjjsih.—The teeth are divided
into three classes, each class fitting us for
a different kind of food :—• ! ’
Ist. The incisors, or catting; teeth,
being eight in number, four top apd bot

and falling over the under dnes'iii plerong

viding and cutting the food, by bringing
it between the surfaces of the shafp, edges-.
2nd. The canine teeth, so called from
their resemblance to the dog’s (doth, aye

two in each jaw. The intention of these
teeth is to lay hold of substances,; add «re

EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS!
A Hc«r« DUcbmUmi About Sggg,
Geneva the lovely village on Seneca
Lake, furnishes the following specimen of
Parliamentary ruling:
In the fairest village of Western New
York the “ dulled pusaons,” in emulation
of their white brethren, formed a debating
society for the purpose of improving their
minds by the discussion of instraetlnw
and entertaining topics. The detibe>£
tions of the soc'ety were presided over by
a venerable darkey, who performed hm
duties with the utmost dignity peculiar to
his color. The subject for the discussion
on the occasion of which we' write, was—
What am de muddcr ob de chickens—
de hen what lay de eggs or de hen wind
hatch de chicks I .
The question was warmly debated apd
many reasons pro and con were urged had
combatted by the excited
Those in favor of the latter proposition
were evidently in the majority, and the
President made uo attempt to conceal that
his sympathies were the dominant
party. At length an. intelligent darkey
rose from the minority side, and bogged
leave to state a proposition to this efieol.
“Spose," said he, “dat you set one
dozen duck eggs under & hen,and day
hatch, which am de mudder—de duok Or
dehen?” * '
This was a posoH was well put, and non
plussed the other side, even stangerieg the
President who plainly saw the forced
this argument, and had committed him
self too far to yield without a struggle :
so, after cogitating and scratching’ his
wool a few minutes, a brighter idea struck
him. Rising in his chair with all the
conscious of superiority, he announced:
“ Ducks am not before de house; chick
ens am do question; derforoj I rule de
ducks out; and do it ho did, to the com
plete overthrow of his opponents.

An. intimate friend of ours who M bp»
faults about some things os well as us, Was
paying hia addresses'to a young lady, qui j
near Harlem, pretty stoutly. It seems*
that each loved pretty dear, but Sam, our
frieUd, didn't hardly suit the old peoplq.,
When it came that Sam began to show
signs of ardent love, and in fact she too,'
the old lady intimated to the old gentle
man the necessity qf giving the yotupg
New Yorker a hint to-go into other quar- ’
ters —so when he drove up with his own"*
fine team, hitched, knocked and came iq
all things seemed right to Him. Prcaont
ly, all at once the father of the daughter,
a shrewd, cunning farmer, walked up to
Sam—
“ Have you got a good horse. sir?”
“Acs, sir," ho replied.
Sam answered in the affirmative, with"
much gusto. '
“ And have you got a good barn T" '
" Yes, sir, I have.”
“ Then,” said the old gentlemau, w my
wife and myself advise you, to get,tiUt
good horse, and that good carriage, in in'
that good barn, as quick as posable.”—

Blondin’s polo is thirty-four feet lon&apd

gravity sufficiently near to the rope to he

Blondin is that of carrying a man od 'h&
