THE LAST SPREE.
Old Hodge, one night, at Carlo's bar,
I fad got, in classic parlance, '* tight,"
When, as he homeward made his tracks,
lie heard the 44 voices of the night."
As with a quite uncertain step,
I nto a mill-pond's bank he came,
Where old King Bullfrog held his court,
He thought he heard one call his name—
-44 Old Hodge, old Hodge !" he stopped and gazed,
Till goblins seemed to till the dark,
And Hodge, though brave, was rather seared :
4, \\ hat's that?" he said, "what's that ?oh hark?"
44 Old Hodge got drunk !
Old Hodge got drunk !
Drunk, drunk, drunk!"
44 You lie, by gosh !" said Hodge, 44 you lie!"
A deep voice answered 14 Nevermore
And Hodge thought Nick himself was near,
Among the bushes on the shore ;
So, thinking it v as best to run,
lie started like a railroad ear,
But horrid shapes now thronged his path,
And voices shouted near ami far,
44 Old Hodge got drunk !
Old Hodge got drunk !
Drunk, drunk, drunk."
Hodge reached his house half dead with fright,
And never since has he got 44 tight."
THOt GUTS FOR THE PI CLIC.
The world estimates men bv their suc
cess in life : and, by general consent, suc
cess is evidence of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, assume
a responsibility you can avoid consistently
with y our duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon a principle of
right: preserve your integrity of character,
and in doing this, never reckon rout.
Remember that self interest is more like
ly to warp y our judgement than.all other
circumstances combined; therefore, look
well to your duty when vour interest is
concerned.
Never make money at the expense of
your reputation.
Be neither lavish nor niggardly : of the
two, avoid the latter. A mean man is uni
versally despised, but public favor is a step
ping stone to preferment—therefore gener
ous feelings should be cultivated.
Say but little—think much—and do more.
Let your expenses he such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money is
a good friend in need.
Keep clear of the law : for when you
gam your case, you are generally the loser
of money.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
A\ inc-drinking and cigar-smoking are
had habits. They impair the mind and
poeket, and lead to a waste of time.
Never relate your misfortunes, and never
grit ve over what you cannot prevent.
A Li VATIC- LORD. —The English papers
give some rather curious particulars of the
lunacy of the Karl of Albemarle, concern
ing whom a confession de hmatieo irup/i
--rcntlo was recently holder.. Several medi
cal witnesses were examined, and testified
that among other delusions ho thought that
he could make watches of dirt; that he
had lived in the time of the Apostles, and
had died three times and risen again ; that
he had been to Heaven to baptize fifty
thousand persons, one of thetn a speckled
child; that he had fought at Bunker's Hill
with ('apt. Brown, who had cut oil his
head, but who afterwards put it on again
as firm as ever, with the exception of its
being a iilllo shaky ; that he had been
called the Fire King, and had performed
at die Lyceum four thousand years ago :
that he was Jesus < 'iirist, and had been
crucified after the flood, Ac., Ac. The
jury found that Lord Albemarle had been
of unsound mind since the 23d of Julv, 'l9.
REV. MR. STOCKTON.—. / Church teith
or/t a Creed. —The Presbyterian of the
TV est, says:
44 We understand that this gentleman,
late pastor of the Reformed Methodist
church in Cincinnati, Itas resigned his
charge, and proposes to establish a new
no-creed church. With a view to this,
he last Sabbath delivered his first lecture
in the "Unitarian Church. We have not
learned what are to be the precise features
of this new church. During the last win
ter Air. Stockton preached several discour
ses, in which he held, that there is a mid
dle place, called Paradise, in which the bet
ter class of heathen, and all who, having
some grace, die in a state of imperfect sanc
tification, are placed ; that under the minis
try of saints and angels, they he fitted for
Heaven. VVe presume his present enter
prise has reference to these views."
Seven American Mechanics were lately
induced by an oiler of high pay, to stop at
Chagres and put up a building. Before
the building was completed, six of the
number were dead. The seventh took
passage home in the Empire City, and
breathed his last the moment she dropped
her anchor in New York harbor.

used to smile so sweetly upon him. Har

j stitntional predilection tor gray hairs, and
at twenty-one his head was as white as
j snow ! In vain were all his endeavors to
j bring Louisa to such a degree of intimacy !
I as would warrant him in " popping the i
j question," until at last the thought struck j
i him that it must he his gray Itairs that j
frightened away the little fellow with bow !
and arrows. So Harry read in the news- j
papers of the wonderful power of the far- i
famed Russian flair Dye which would pro- ;
dtiee a beautiful glossy brown or coal
black, jus! as the purchaser might desire, i

I I tit it on freely at night, and on rising j
. m die morning the hair will be completely
j and thoroughly dved."
" Good." exclaimed Harry, 44 no sort of
trouble, just as easy as the b<v knew his !
father."
(>ll he went to the agent's who gave 1
j him a bottle of the reduced price as the ■
paper said, and told llarrv he never saw a
belter subject for testing the virtue of the :
i dye.
44 Well, said Ifarrv to us, 44 I put it on
one Saturday night, and sure enough, the
next morning when I looked into the glass
"i> hair seemed as black as your hat. I j
eouldn t see very well in my chamber,
' which is none of the lightest, so after
imi-'hiiig up ami fixing for meeting, I met
Mary the chamber-maid, and asked )e r if
it was all right.
44 V ery nice, Mr. Leeman." said she, •'!
never saw such beautiful colors in all mv
" (ohrs / said I, - you mean color,
Mary ; drop \\\e plural, if you please," said
I. laughing at the girl's "want of correct
ness in her speech.
W lit n the hells rung I started ofT, proud
as a peacock, lor church, reinforcing tnv
seli with soil looks and smiles, on purpose
to open a real battery attack upon Louisa
Freeman. I got in early, for 1 was chock
tui! ol it, and w ited uneasily for her to
come, and the minister to read the first
hymn, w hen we all rose and turned to lace
the choir in the singing scats, 1 shall nev
er forget how proudly 1 rose and faced
about towards those singers that morning !
1 saw several persons looking at me rather
queer, but thinks I to myself, he's im
proved, i is Marry Leemaii. there's no
l ubbiiii: that out. At last 1 caught Loui
sas eye, when she laughed right out m
meeting. i (links |. the girl wants to in
sult me, and 1 sat down rather sore.
\t last the minister rose and read his
!( xt. It was y queer one, I thought—
something about the leopard s changing his
spots. 1 hinks i, thai man is looking at .
ni'' and every time he spoke about chang
ing his spots, he turned his cadaverous
eyes at me, as much as to sa\ you culprit
you—and hang it, I began to fed like one !
-and-b\ Deacon Lovctt reached over
from his pew just behind me and touched
my shoulder. W hen 1 turned to see what
the old fellow wanted, lie pointed signifi
cantly over bis shoulder with his thumb
and nodded to me.
W hat the device docs lie mean, thought
1 ; and in a minute after he repeated the
curious and remarkable motion with his
thumb over his shoulder towards the en
tranee of the church. To bother nic still
more, the sun began to stream in at one of
the side windows, and play across the
church just over my head and eyes,
A little girl in the deacon's pew now
laughed right out. just as Louisa had done !
W hat the deuce is coming now, thought J.
half crazed between tint deacons punches
on my shoulder, the sun in my eyes, and
the people giggling; but 1 tried to look
straight at the minister. That rascally
little gnl just back of me had attracted his
attention, and as my eye met his he put his
handkerchief to his face as quietly as pos
sible, but, curse, him, I saw that lie was
laughing too !"
Though the sun was all this time half
blinding me, yet f could discern several
persons eyeing me quccrly. Just at this
moment Deacon Lo\ctt punched me again
ami whispered :
41 Mr. Leeman, if you must stay in the
church, for mercy's sake, put on i/our
hat r * J
I saw it all in an ; the people
were laughing at my hair! 1 stooped
down and clutched my hat cot vulsively,
and glided out ot the pew and down the
aisle so that J could scarcely stop to open
the door w hen 1 got to it, and you had -
better believe 1 kept it up until 1 got home
and found a looking glass.
Horror! I almost tremble now to
; think of it; there was my hair clothed in
all the hues of tfie rainbow— green, pink,
brown and yellow I —O, ye gods ! how 1
j raved and tore. 1 soaked and washed,
• and washed and soaked again, but all to no
purpose ; and at last paid Bogle a dollar to
shave it close, and five more for a wig.
i o the day ot my death 1 shall never
lorget that mysterious motion ot Deacon
Lovett over his shoulder, towards the door
with iiis thumb, and what he said about
pulling on //in ha!, if I must stay in
church!"
44 But how about the pretty Miss Louisa
Freeman, the vocalist ?" we asked, picking
up the buttons of our coat from the floor.
44 O, Louisa—why, she's ?>lrs. Leeman,
now ; hut 1 never forgave her for laughing
at me in that trying situation /"

Soon after the Copernican system of as

an old Connecticut farmer went to his

If its true, how could Joshua command

ends in a downright light. Don't you see
the similarity ?

A young buck of the soaplock order,

said, it looked foreign, latelv accosted a ankoe

On the new line of canal of the Hudson

progress of construction, in Ulster county,
there have been some large operations in
the way of blasting. One charge threw
out full 1200 yards of rock, by measure

ten per cent of more rock. The charge
