Freshness la an invaluable ingredient in litera ture. ' Old- materials, have been so often brought before the reading community, combined, re-com bined, and re-named, that novelty of subject seems indlspensiblo* Hungary, however, seems to be fresh ground. Jv»has been trodden, but has not yet become a common highway, especially for pi* rates in literature. Francis and Theresa Pulozky have written a work entitled, “Tales and Tradi tions of Hungary;” and it has intrinsic merit.— The work is. Illustrative of Hungarian life, and the following legend will introduce the famous robber Haburak to the reader: Prince Frederic Schwarzenburg, the son of the celebrated Field-Marshal Schwarzenburg, used often to relate his encounter with the notorious robber Haburak. The Prince once accompanied a lady from Hungary to Vienna. They journeyed on the mountain-roads between-the counties of Gomor and Toma. Heavy showers greatly dam aged the roads; evening approached; the tiled hor ses had reached the riogd of the woody height,but could not be urged on further; and the travellers were thus compelled to seek shelter for the night in the inn of Aggtelek, a hiding place of ill-note for Jobbers. The carriage halted before the house, and the servant inquired whether room could be afforded. The publican replied (hat there was one room for the lady; but that the gentleman could not bo accommodated, the large guest room being overfilled. After some visible reluctance he own ed that the gang of Haburak was drinking there. The lady became terrified and entreated the prince not to remain; but it had grown dark, (he rain was pouring down, tho hordes wbre worn blit, and (he steep descent of the road was so very dangerous, that it was most hazardous to proceed. The Prince tried to re-assure the lady; so sho locked herself up in the room assigned to her. Her companion, wrapped in his white officer's cloak, under which ho kept his pistols in readiness, stepped into the apartment where the robbers were assembled, and sat down at the table, facing the ftindoW, while his servant likewise armed, kept watch outside the house, close to the window, on the alert in case his master should want any aid* the company Consisted of about ton or twelve men. Their rifles loaned upon the wall, their axes lay upon the board, on which stood the wine jugs. They drank, sang, and talked over their adven tures, and did not taka any notico of their newly strived guest. The Prince mixed in their conver sation, took wtno with them, and listened unto their conversation until It had grown late. Sud denly he rose, called the publican, threw a gold coin on the table, and said: “This is for the wine those good folks have drank; they are my ghests. Hut now," he continued, addressing .the robbers, “It is time to sleep. In the adjoining room Is a sioklady—theonlerlainmonthaslasledlong enough fci-I cannot allow any one longer to occupy this teem, or disturb this lady's rest by noise.” At this Imperative command, one of the robbers jumped from his seat, and contemptuously laugh- Ing* cried out: “Does the gentleman fancy that, because lie has a carriage and four* and plenty of money in his pocket, he has the right to command list” , An Uproar followed. Tho men vociferated;— 11 Wo are poor lads, and therefore wo are masters here.” ' - _ 41 Wo aro no timorous poaoants, who tako off our hala to every gentleman.” • “We have yet money and oroditenough to swal low a draft when we are thirsty*” “We do not accept any gift from people who fancy themselves any hotter than wo aro* “We will not bo ruled.” All this was simultaneously uttered, with aloud tumult from all sides. All the robbers had gotup. The Prince mechanically caught hold oi his pis tols and threw off his cloak* , “1 am o roaster of the craft fn which you arobut apprentices!” he cxolalmed with dignity. “You are robbers, I am a soldier, and fear neither the mouth of a riflo nor the edge of an axe.” During this uproar, a roan of middling height and strongly-marked features, had risen, from the bench beside the stove, whore he had quietly sat during the whole conversation, without partaking pf the wine. Ho now said in a commanding tone: t'fSiloncol” The robbers grew speechless at this order, and again sat down to the table. . «Mf. Officer/* continued the man,“‘donolthink that you frighten us. I, too, have been a soldier, and have probably smelt more powder than you ever did. lam Haburak. If 1 desired.to do you any harm, a single whistle would, suffice. The' table at which you have sat would be overthrown, the candles extinguished, and before you are aware of what was going on, you would be a dead man, no less than your servant thereat the window, who thinks he watches us, whilst we watch him. But 1 saw you help a lady out of the carriage, and take her to the adjoining room. We never will disturb a lady's reel; we war with men, not with women. For tho present wo shall leave this shel ter; yet remember, sir, that it is the f.rst time fora fortnight that these men have been under a roof, and that the couch there belotf-on the damp oak leaves is by no means comfortable. Farewell! “Friends, jet us go,** he called to his men,— They took up’ their arms and went.' The Prince was greatly struck by the whole proceeding. He did not entirely trust the robber's words; and relieving his servant, they paced up and down, thus keeping watch the whole night.— But no robber again appeared. On tlie morrow the lady continued the journey with her companion. The weather bad cleared up, and only the puddles in the lanes and the drops of rain glistening on the branches, reminded them of the clouds of the previous day* After they had rtddfen about an hour, they suddenly heard the dis charge of a rifle close to them in the woods; Ha burak stepped forth from the bushes, and bid the coachman halt. The horses stopped; the Prince drew forth his pistole. But Haburak, without heeding , this threatening mein, rode close up to the carriage door and said— “We yesterday sacrificed our comfort that the rest of this lady should not bo disturbed. Now 1 will see whether It was worth the trouble* 1 ’ With these words he lifted the veil which hung down from the lady’s bonnet, and looked for an Instant into her face. The lady blushed, and the robber said— “She is really very pretty. 1 * -. He turned round, plucked a wild rose from a bush close at hand, and offered it to the lady with these words—. r . “Accept (his rose kindly, as a keepsake from the poor robber Haburak; and if you sometime hear that he has been hanged, pray an Eve Maria for his soul.’* » The lady took (he rose and the robber vanish ed. . Two years later, the newspaper related (halthe robber Haburak had been caught; that he had been tried at the assizes in Torna, convicted of desertion and highway robbery, and hanged.

In duo course of time ho ar rived there, and was not very much astonished, but rallior frightened, to find his worthy lady sitting up for him. She always docs.- She smiled when he came in.

" Wife, you’re 100 good—the truth is, I'm d—-d drunk." .. “Oh, no indeed, fny dear—l*m sure (hat even another glass wouldn't hurl you* Now, suppose you take a glass of Scotch ale with mo, just as a night-cap, dear?"

Filling tbo glasses with the foaming ale, she handed one to her husband. Suspicion came Clotidily upon his mind. Sho never, before had boon so kind when, ho was drunk. Ho looked at (ho glass—raised it to his lips—(lion hesitated. “ Dear,, wont you just taste mine, Id make it sweet—sweeter?" said ho. "Certainly, love!’ 1 replied tho lady, taking a mouthful, which she was careful not to'swallow. Suspicion vanished, and so did (ho ale, emetic and oil, down the satisfied husband.

OLD FATHER JONES. Tho Lawronccburg Press tolls the following good one: .. Two or throe years ago if our memory servos as rightly, tho old man was appointed Chaplain of tho Slate Prison, and d very proper appointment it was. At tho timo when the announcement of this fact was made, a member of tho MclhodislChurch, resid ing withip the range ofono of tho circuits’where ho had preached for years, having some business to transact with ono of his neighbors, got on‘ his horse, and having to pass tho house of brother P. on his road, concluded to “pass a joke off. 1 * Now brother P. had been all the days of Ins manhood a zealous, active, spirited member, prompt in his responses of "amen,** and sach like, and always seemed particu larly delighted with Father Jones* preaching, for lie would sit .in tho corner of the church, and co-ope rate with groat satisfaction to himself and that minister. Seeing this.worthy brother standing be fore the door, the good humored disciple rode up to the fence, and after tho usual salutation accosted him thus: * “Brother P., have you hoard tho nows ?” “Why, what news, brother 3., anything stronger" “Why, they say old. Father'Jonos has boon sent to tho Pehiitntiary for one year !” On hearing this, brother P n with unaffected as tonishment, indulged himself in such-remarks as, "Why, you don't soy. so!’? Is-it. "ls it really a fact?" / r ;*. "Why," saysybrbthorS., *•! gnessthbre's no mis take about ill Hieard it from.brother C. ? and ho saw it in. tho papers,'so 1 reckon it must be so!" “Well,” says brother P., settling himself‘down on the truth of tho rumor, “now brother ti., I can’t say that I ain’t surprised nt this, but, between you ahd me, I always thought old man Jones wasn’t the right kind of a. man. The fact is, bo’s bettor in the Penitentiary than out of it, and I'told my wife he’d go there some day," . • * * -Havinglhus delivered himself of his opinion, and after o few similar comments, brother S., left him without explanation, astonished and'amused at the effect ofhis information; How brother P. felt when he learned the truth about it we have not.heard. This is a laughable anecdote, and illustrates the fact that many people are disposed to kick any body down a hill who has in their opinion got a start that way. TUB MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD* The memories of childhood, after a mature ago has been attained, are more powerful than many people are aware. And especially is this tho case, in relation to tho religions observances which first arrest the attention of children. Our annual anni versaries, which bring to (ho Groat Metropolis so many ministers of different denominations, are fruit ful examples of the strong memories of children in this respect. With (ho familiar faces of the clergy* men who ministered before 1 him in his holy things in his boyhood, come back to (ho city denizens fresh memories of his early life in the country; tho plain village church with its former occupants; the “ tidy men," who used'to pull his oars and make him change his seat when he was restive under (ho do* lays and restraints of the sanctuary. “Do .you see (hat while haired old gentleman?" said a friend to us in the crowded Tabernacle, at a late religious an niversary, pointing to a venerable clergyman, tho personification of solemn dignity. . *» Ho was our minister in the country nearly forty years ago, and ho was called *old Mr. I,— * then.

That tears arc a great blessing there is no doubt—perhaps the greatest, next to rain. It is not a groat grief that“ cries,** and the little ones are Wonderfully mended, and somothnos cured by this innocent and ancient form of hydro pathy. To be sure It is not pleasant to seo women and children cry—but then it should be remem* bered'lhat it is a luxury to them* and provided they are not offensively vociferous, e’en let ’em cry I It is dangerous to “dam their eyes”—and should not bo attempted.

TII*I “RAZOU STKOP MAN.'t Smith, ;(ho “Razor Strop man,” occasionally broke off from.(be subject of the very superior quality of his strops, and gave his audience a short lecture upon tonfperanco in his own peculiar and droll way. Hero is an extract: Smith's - Cat.— When I drank grog I owned a cat, a poor, lean, lantern jawed thing, that was always getting ibto a*scrape. As I hadnolhing for her .to oat, sho was compelled to take to (noJiighway, and (he neighbors were continually drying out, "cuss that Smith’s cat, she’s stole my moat; and cuss that Smith’s eat,-she’s drunk up all my milk." Poor thing she had to steal or die, for she could find Ao pickings at homo,Tor even tho few niico that were loft, were,’so poor and scraggy that it took.seven of them to rnaka a shadow, and a decent cat will starve to death in threo weeks on an allowance ofoighteen a day. But when I reformed things took a differ ent lurn| Tho kitchen being well provided, the crumbs were plenty, ahd the old oat grow honest and fat together. Even the mice grew fat and oily, and tho o|d tabby would make a hearty supper on two of Hum, and then lie down to snooze, with the pleasing Consolation of knowing that when she awoke, there would bo a few more loft of the same sort. I' And again: When ! was a beer guzzler, mother cried, father cried, wifb cried, John cried, Bill, cried, Moll cried, (he oat cried. But when 1 signed the pledge, father sung, mother sung, wife sung, John sung, BUI sung, Moll sung, Bet sung, the oat sung, (ho tea kettle sung, and 1 bought a new frying pan and put a nice piece of beefsteak In it, and placed It on (he lire, and that sung, and that’s tfab kind of singing for a working man. v And a third: Tho difference between Smith sober, and Smith drunk, is'this—Smith drunk, was rummy, rigged and riotous. Smith sober, is jovial, joyful and jolly. Smith drunk*was stuttering, stupid and staggering. Smith sober is cool, clearheaded, and .captious.— Smith driink, was sick, sore and sorry. Smith so bet 1 is hearty, healthy, and happy. Smith drank was ill read, ill bred, and ill fed. Smith sober is well saved, well behaved, and well shaved. BLITZ AND THE DARKIES.

The congregation looked at each othqr In the face with countenances darker Ihon ever while the min ister after looking under his feet and behind himself, seemed .to come to the conclusion that the noise proceeded from the street, and so lie commenced again. “ And the Lord said unto Moses—" “ Stand from under 1" cried a voice apparently at the lop of .(ho houso. The startled congregation rolled up»(ho big whiles of (heir eyes to (ho coiling in amazement, while (he Minister drew suddenly to one sido, expecting some thing was coming down.

Somo'smiled and said, “Sam Johnson ought to be ashamed nf himself, to act so In mooting,” and Iho 'minister frowned upon him la a way that would have thawed a snowball right out, after which Mr. Snowdon attempted 'once mure to resume his re marks. „“And the Lord said unto Moses—” ’“Well,what did Moses say?” camo apparently from Ihfebig lips of an attonlivo listener In Iho aidoaislfir The minister was astounded.

Bonnola suffered some on that occasion, and when they all got fairly our, (boy looked up to the top of the meolhiff house, patiently awaiting to.boo the flames burst through the slated roof.

Uilchcr. The Invisible Foe* Some of (he very best jokes are Icgoß—and the following is said to be as .trao as it is amusing. It oecurrisd in North Caro|inas ‘ > ' One of the Professors of College was in the habit ,of exercising a surveillance over the students ofler nightiall, which was by no moans agreeable to them. He was accustomed to steal .cautiously along the corridors of the college, and .whenever there ap peared to be anything going on mp prescribed in the “ Rules,” he did not hesitate to poop through'the key hole, and *• lake an observation.” Some oflho stu dents resolved, to euro him of this propensity, and they hit upon tho following expedient. In the course of their walks they had frequently, soon, at a neighboring farm,a largobl&ckram, which was perfectly tame, and had been taught to butt any ono who appeared to challenge him by stooping or bowing hisMiead. They managed ono night to en tice tho ram into tho collogo, whore they secured him in an empty; darkened room, and fed him tho next day. At night, just before tho Professor's espionage, they turned the ram out into tho hall, having first shod him with pieces ofblanket. Ho was perfectly black, and of course invisible in a dark corridor.— His step also was noiseless, as he perambulated at pleasure the wide hall.. Presently'the learned Prolessor camp stealing up stairs on tip-toe, proceeded toward a room, whence issued rather unusual sounds. As ho stooped to ap ply his optic to tho keyhole, tho ram, taking it as a challenge, gave him a playful but, and tumbled him heels over head. Picking himself up as well as ho could, in his astonishment, ho found himself assdiled in tho rear, and once .more prostrated. This amu sing illustration of the ups and downs oflifo contin ued somo minutes, and both parties mado an unpre meditated descent of the stairs. The alarmed Pro feasor was not sufficiently'*hurt by this fall to disable him from Right, and ho mtide' tracks for his dwelling with Gilpin speed. The liberated animal flesh also made towards bis homo.- *. The next morning tho worthy Professor was seen at an early hour examining the doors of the hail very closely; for. sdme tracks which might unfold to him the character of tho nocturnal foe. Ho sought in vain, however—and for days the mystery preyed upon bis spirits. . After (he graduation of (he next class, ho inquired of.one of the baccalaureates ifho bad not a hand in the adventure of that night, and begged him if it were so, to explain to him tho mystery.'. When the explanation was given, the Professor was convulsed with laughter, and said that had he discovered tho joke In time, ho should have pardoned tho.oulhors, for tho matchless fun of (he thing.

Extraordinary Case* A correspondent, on whose accuracy we re! y ini’, pllcilly, relates the following extraordinary.freak of nature s Nearly two years ago, a very respectable Itty of this city, then seventy-four years.of age, had a severe fit of sickness, to. a degree that her life was despaired of four or five days. During her sickness her hair, which was rather thin and somewhat gray, came on lively off her head, except a very little near the back part of her neck. . About a-year since indications word shown of a new growth of hair, which hds con tinued to grow up to this time. Her head is now, at seventy-six years of ago, entirely covered with hair, about seven inches long, entirely free from any grey, of a dark chestnut color, and eras healthy ana glossy appearance as (hat of most young ladies of sixteen years of oge.

Living with Others* If you would be loved os a companion, avoid un necessary criticism upon those with whom you live. The number of people who have taken out judge's patents for themselves is very largo in any society. Now it would be hard for a man to Uvo with anqtoer Who was always criticising his actions, event? it were kindly ano.just criticism. would be like liv ing between the glasses of a microscope. Bet these self-elected judges, like their prototypes, arc very apt to have the persons they judge brought before them in the guise of culprit. , ( ■ One of the most provoking forms of the criticism above alluded to, is that which may bo called criti cism over the shoulder. u Had 1 been consulted,** “had you listened to.

Many of us have a habit of saying to (hose with whom we live such things as we say a bout strangers behind their backs. There is no place, however, where real politeness is of more value than whote we mostly, think it would be superfluous.— You may say more truth, or rather speak out more plainly, to your associates, but not less courteously, than you do to strangers. A vlvino lady .—lf we may credit a statement made by the Madrid correspondent of the 11 Courtier de la Gironde,” the means of parting through the e!r by artificial wings have at length been discovered. On the 20lh of Juno last Mile. Juanile Perez flow over more than half the Prada promenade at Madrid. She roso (o a height of over two hundred metres, in a circuit uffbur hundred metres. The inspection' of the wings was not allowed to the public, but their dimensions Is at least four or five metres when spread out, and they are worked with ligaments of such flex* ability that they move in the air with groat .facility, and make a noise lijto a good-sized wind mill. - A Frenchman named Dazvillo says he is about to surpass the Spanish lady in flying, Ho has prepared an apparatus by which he crossed the Seine on thn sth of June last at one o'clock in the morning. The experiment succeeded perfectly. His wings wore fif teen feet when spread out. Ho is soon to make a public display in company with his sons. By this apparatus he is enabled to “ movo about in the air, either sinking or rising, with all tho spirit and all the'lightness of a swallow.”. Whut next?

What ever you attempt to do, whether it bo tho writing of an essay, or tho whittling of a plup, lot it bo done as well as you can do it. It was this habit that rnado Franklin and Newton, and hundreds, whoso labors havo been of incalculable service to mankind. Fix your mind closely and latently on what you under* take—in no other way can you have a reasonable hope of success. An onetgy that dies la a day is good for nothing—an hour's fixed attention-will never avail.
