But. then, to drink too much is wrong, 'Tis not for that I But when one's wet. or when one's dry, Or when one's cold, or when One's not exactly one of these, I like a little then." " That's just the thing." quoth Tipple-much, Rising from where he sat. And trying to balance as he walk'd, '• That's right, I'll stick to that. But, then, to drink too much, why that — Why that I should despise." " That's right, that's right," quoth Tipple more, Who looked moio drunk than wis <: " That's just the talk I like," quoth ho ; " Come, brother, join mr baud ; "We'll take another glass on that," And seized him by the hand. With bloodshot eyes and ragged clothes. Came then poor Tipple-all, To join his brothers at the bar— And for the liquor call. * Is Tipple-a-littie then your friend ?" Good Tipple-none replied,— " You see how all these Tipples range Themselves upon your side. Tis right they should, for one by one, From grade to grade you fall; Thus Tipple-a-little comes, at last, To be poor Tipple-all. Yet each approves your arguments, All say aon't drink too much ; And every land in DRUNKEXDOM, Is crowded full of such. So let rae caution all of you, And counsel every one, To take the only name that's safe ; And that is—TIPPLE-NONE." Jmi*t riuurous. The Outlaw's Steed. A famous free-hooter in the reign of Queen Elizabeth infested the Island ol Sheppy, and made frequent predatory in cursions into the interior of Kent. I his daring marauder was represented by the village cicerone to have been a nobleman under sentence of outlawry, who intrenched himself in a stronghold which he possessed in the island, where he deposited all the contributions which his successful levies on the purses of travellers had obtained. By adopting the often practised ruse of shoeing his horse's feet the contrary "way, he fre quently escaped detection; and even when hotly pursued, the fleetness and sagacity of the noble animal he rode pre served him from his enemies, and carried him to a place of security. Thus the fame of the horse nearly rival led that of his rider, whose exploits at length became so bold and frequent that irassnnsis) &ssus> ws @2s®!B(Eti£ EdGKyiMiss' the whole country rose up against him; and finding himself too closely beset in hisisiand to hope for extrication, he was compelled to surrender at discretion, and to implore the mercy of Queen Elizabeth, then upon one of her progresses on board the admiral's ship at the Nore. The queen, it is said, not disinclined to show favor to a man whose personal valor, determined preserveranee, and fertility of resource were interesting, on account of the air of romance which characterized his adventures, offered to grant his life upon terms in keeping with the wild tenor of his lawless career. The conditions were that he should swim on horseback three times round the flag-ship; and should he escape the perils incidental to such a trial, his sentence of outlawry should be reversed and a general pardon extended to all his offences. The Knight of Sheppy agreed to the terms; armed at all points, he bestrode his favorite companion, whose spirits he in vigorated by copious draughts ol" brandy ; —plunging at once into the foaming tide, the steed and his master swam gallantly round the destined ship. The second ex traordinary evolution was performed with equal skill and bravery. At the third, lit tle more than the heads of the horse and its rider could he perceived buffeting with the watery waves, which seemed at every instant to threaten their annihilation : straining each nerve and sinew to the ut most, the gallant animal ceased not to strug gle with the interminable billows until the painful task was completed, and his wea ried limbs rested on the shore. i he place ol landing was wild and deso late; a lofty cliff overhung the narrow beach, and concealed every human habita tion from view. No friend or relation hasten ed to meet the successful adventurer with congratulations on his safety, and no sound could be heard save the harsh croak of the laven from his eyrie, answering the dull murmur of the waves below; but the mo ment that the exhausted charger gained a firm footing on his parent earth, a withered and decrepit hag, whose tangled elf-locks and tattered weeds streaming in the wind ill concealed the hideous deformity of her squalid form, started from a recumbent at titude, and raising the shrivelled finger with which she had traced unhallowed spells upon the sand, shrieked out an ill omened prophecy. ' Beware of that horse!' cried the beldam with a trimphant laugh of malice; 'al though he has now saved y our life, he shall be the cause of your death.' 'Thou best, fiend of mischief !' rried the brutal and superstitious knight; 'thus 1 fal sify thy dark prediction,' and drawing his sword, he plunged it into the body of the of the faithful animal, v. hich fell dead upon the beach. Several years of uninterrupted prosperity passed awav; but, at length, being acciden tally led to the scene of his most extraordi nary adventure, pointed out to a friend the d: !eton of the slaughtered horse, which, bleached by successive winters, still lay extended on the sand; relating the proph ecy of the witch, he laughed derisively and, spurning ihe head with his foot, sep arated it from the body by the stroke. lie did not perceive, that in the act a small sharp bone had penetrated his buskin; the wound was inconsiderable, and disregarded ; but becoming more serious, it ended in a mortification, which speedily carried him to his grave. Eating a Book. " While I was at Moscow," fiavs a trav eller, " a quarto volume was published in favor of the liberties of the people; a singu lar subject, when we consider the place where the book was printed. In this work the iniquitous venality of the public func tionaries, and even the conduct of the sovereign, was scrutinized and censured with great freedom. Such a book, and in such a country, attracted general notice, and the offender was taken into custody. After being tried in a summary way, hi® production was determined to be a libel, and he was condemned to eat his own words. The singularity of such a sentence induced me to see it put into execution. A scaffold was erected in one of the most public streets in the city ; the imperial provost, the magistrates, the physicians and surgeons of the czar attended; the book was separated from its binding, the margin cut off, and every leaf rolled up like a lottery ticket when taken off the wheel. The author was then served with them leaf by leaf, by the provost, who put them in his mouth, to the no small diversion of the spectators, and he was obliged to swallow this unpalatable food on pain of the knout, in Russia more feared than death. As soon as the medical gentlemen were of opinion that he had received into his stomach as much at the time as was consistent with his safety, the transgressor was sent back to prison, and the business resumed the fol low ing days; after three very hearty but unpleasant meals, I am convinced, by oc ular proof, that every leaf of the book was actually swallowed.' 'Give nte a kiss, my charming Sal,* A lover said to a blue eyed gal; • I Won't,' said she, 4 you lazy elf, Screw up your lips and help yourself!' lUIIiAY EVEXI\G, SEPTEMBER SI, ISIS. NOW OR NEVER Isaac was as tall, long-faced, awkward I appearing a personage as one will general ly find in a thousand of the graceless sons of humanity. I would by no means in sinuate, however, that Isaac was graceless, in the common acceptation of that word, but that he merely was lacking in those lit tle graces, personal, which some young la- ' dies deem so essential in a lover—that he was positively ungraceful, if you like. Yet Isaac possessed some qualifications, anil properties, which secured to him not withstanding all his oddities, the gracious consideration of one young lady, at least. He was renowned, the whole town through, for his sly, droll humor, and one of his jokes would set the entire company into an uproar of laughter, while his own long face would be as destitute of a smile as—as—Deacon Laughless's after the third Sunday sermon. It has been hinted that Isaac was odd ; 1 and so, indeed, he was, to that extent that whatever he said, or did, must be said and done in a manner as different from other ! people, as he was unlike others. • littt he had been courting Lucy, ever since last winter; she had made up all her table linen, bed quilis, Ac., and he was just • finishing off' the new house, for which he commenced 'hauling the logs to mill' just after his first visit to Lucy. It was now the middle of October, and it was gen erally understood that upon Thanksgivings day night, there was to be a wedding par ly, and a 'house warming,' all at one time, in the new house, indeed Lucy had bin- I ted as much to her friends, manv of whom had received the promise of an invitation to the wedding. Isaac seemed to he laying aside his od dities, and it wast supposed he would get married and 'settle down" just like any body and every body else. The old lady—his mother—however, j became tired of doing all the work for the joiners.and other work hands; and so it was thought best that Lucy should come and assist a little, as she was so soon to he ] one of the family, and was to reap the benefit. tSo it happened, one day, that Lucy was sent to call Isaac and the rest to dinner, and as she entered what was to be the new kitchen, lor the purpose, and had done her errand, Isaac seemed to he struck with one j of the oddest of his odd ideas. 'Come here, Lucv,' said he. beckoning j her forward, while his eyes gave a peculiar twinkle, and his shoulders were drawn up into a sort of a comical shrug. Lucy waded through shavings, knee deep, till she reached the work-bench, the other side of which stood Isaac, also j knee-deep in shavings. 'Squire G., who j was a Justice of the Peace, as well as 'join er,' was standing erect upon the middle of the work-bench. 'Now Lucy,' said Isaac, 'l'm goin' to get married, if you will ; and right here, too, just as we are—you on one side the , bench, I ou t'other, the 'Squire just where he is.' 'What do you mean, Isaac?' asked Lucy, with a reproving tone, but a half-smile, at the same time turning to go. •1 mean that 1 am in earnest, and it's now or never , Lucy—l never change my word —come 'Squire, do your duty.' ' You must join right hands, then,' re turned the 'Squire, throwing away his to- I bacco quid, and dropping his hammer on j | the bench. 'Give me your hand, Lucy,' said the in ! tended bridegroom, reaching out his own right hand, while the left grasped the chis el, with which he had been at work. Lucy saw that it was indeed then or nev er ; and so, notwithstanding her bine cot ton lrock, check linen apron, and her prom- 1 ise to her friends, she placed her hand in j that of Isaac, and, in half a dozen words, , was informed by Esq. G., that she and Isaac were man and wife. Everybody wondered, of course ; and ; everybody laughed and said it was just like Isaac, but they were all well pleased enough when the invitations came for the wedding party and house warming which took place in the new house, just six weeks after the wedding. ENERGY.—A respectable tradesman, with a large family, having sustained a se rious loss of property by the failure of i some relations, for whom he had become J security, was asked by a friend (after he had pulled through his liabilities) what i means he had adopted to surmount : difficulties which would have crushed the | spirits and damped the energies of ninety- j j nine out of a hundred. " By two very simple ex*pedients," was the reply ; " one was to sell my horse and i gig, and the other to buy two new aprons." j What a desirable plan it would be if a sinking-fund should be established of all , the long hours men knew not what to do ' with, and the surplus divided among those who would employ forty-eight hours a day, if they bad them. If men could buy time, 1 what a price some would give for it, and how cheaply others would let it go! i Tart words make no friends ; a spoonful j of honey will catch more flies than a gallon j of vinegar. Blitz and the Fire Annih.il ator. The recent successful experiment wilh the lire annihilalors has reminded us of i some circumstances connected wilh the first exhibition of them in New York, and which caused a feud between Barnum and Blitz, renouned for his skill in training birds, and his extraordinary feats in natu ral magic. Barnum had invited the Sig- j nor to be present (in New-York) at an ex perimental exhibition, in which he was interested, of the machines that put out a j great fire with a great smoke. The great deceiver was on hand—a little man. dress ed in black, with iron grey hair, and a rest less, observant eye—and lie mingled in the I crowd unrecognised. The temporary structure in which the fire | was to be kindled and then annihilated ; was about fifteen leet square, and one story and a half high. There was an upper floor but no stairs, as none were needed. The carpenter who had nailed it down, had merely left a hole by which he descend ed after performing his job. A large concourse ol people assembled i to witness the experiment, which was to come oil a littile alter dark. The spec- : tutors examined at their leisure tiie build- , ing and the queer looking cans that con- ; tamed Barnum's gas, ready to be let forth to arrest the progress ol the " devouring element" which, to use the stereotyped language ol the insurance companies, "of- i ten sweeps away in a few hours the hard earnings of many years." Professor Colton at last mounted a stand, and explained to the assembly the princi ples ot the aunihilator, and set forth the immense benefits that would accrue from it to all combustible communities. Barnum was around, and, although he had been searching for Iris friend Blitz, thai wily professor of deviltry dodged the great showman and remained invisible. At length everything was ready. A head of highly combustible matter had been prepared on the middle of the floor, and an assistant was proceeding to set fire to it, when all in the vicinity were startled hv a cry from the tipper room of the building : ♦Don't! don't! Let me out! Don't burn me up !' •Stop !' shouted a police officer ; 4 there's a man m lite loft.* The master of ceremonies stepped into the building, and ordered the intruder to jump down. *1 can't (hie) get down,'said the voice. 'Some diunken fool has got up there with his bottle,' said Barnum, in a tone of vexation. 1 0, for a liquor law in these diggings ! Somebody must go up and , haul the fellow down.' A stick of timber was procured and placed in a slanting position, and a police man managed to crawl up into the attic. •Hello, here ! Come out of this !' said the officer, poking about with his stick. But, to his surprise, he found no one there. Alter satisfying himself that the place was vacant, the officer came down, muttering curses upon the whole affair. Again did the torch-bearer approach to light the pile, and again the voice sounded from the upper room. 'Let me out, 1 sa-ay ! Con'demti (hie) yer picters, will ye burn a fell'r alive ? Let me out! Let me out! Let me ou-u-ul !' 'Slop!' shouted Barnum to the torch-bear er,' this wonYdo! JVlr.Uolton will you send a man up into that building who has his senses about him/ Send him quickly, too.' Another person now ascended to the loft, which he examined by the light of a lantern that was passed up to him, and he likewise reported the place empty. A short pause now took place, during which the spectators began to manifest great impatience, and their cries began to fill the air. 'Humbug!' •A Barnum humbug !' 'The thingumbob won't work !' 'Woolly Horse !' 'Joice Heth !' 'Merm-a-id !' These weresomeof the unpleasant words that assailed Barnum's ear in the babble ment that was rising like the roar of waves around him. 'Have a little patience, gentlemen, and we'll proceed,' said he •Well, yer kin proceed, but yer can't sttcceed,' growled a member ol old Forty Two's company. The torch was now applied to the tar and rosin, and as the Haines began to curl up, a number of yoipes sounded distress ( fully from all parts of the building. It : was apparently half full of men. Figs also began to squeal as if their bristles were scorched, but Barnum now took the hint. He recognised some of the very sounds that the great veentriloquist had produced in his office that afternoon, and he exclaimed, in high dudgeon— •That cursed Blitz has made all this trouble ! I'll give his iron gray locks an extra kink if I ever catch him.' The signor's ventriloquism in reality did more mischief than he intended, for it was i probably owing to the confusion he crea -1 ted that the experiment proved a failure. Barnum has not forgiven Blitz to this I day, although the waggish Signor is confi ' dent that if he can get the great showman * V— a--- into one of his Armory Hall entertainments, he can conjure all the anger from his breast j and restore their former friendly relations. ! Progress In Democracy, A great deal has been lately said, espe cially hy Young America, of the progress ive character of Democracy. Our oppo nents are fairly entitled to their claim of progress. But then, they should not in sist in the same breath, that they belong to the OLD school American Democracy. Nothing can be more different than the Democracy of the early days of the He public and that of the present hour. Bank, Tariff, Ac., were once warmly supported by the democratic parly. Now thev are denounced as the distinguishing features of Federalism. The progress of the demo cratic party from their ancient creed, and their claims still to be genuine old Ameri- j can democracy finds a fair illustration in the following anecdote : • I say Squire,' said an individual who was indulging in the luxury of whittling a pine stick in front of a tavern,"! this here's my grandfather's jack-knife.' ' No, not your gradfather's, is it ?' i s, grandfather's knife sarriii.* ' \\ hat an old knife it must be! how have you kept it so long V 'Why there's been four new blades and six new handle® put to it since grandfath er's liine, but it's the same old jack-knife.' A short time ago, two of die most distin guished millionaires in a flourishing south- i cru city, met in social chat; and discussed their mutual merits. In the course of the confab, the judge bantered the colonel, and offered to bet five dollars that the latter could not say the Lord's Prayer. The Colonel accepted the bet, and. putting himself in a solemn altitude, began to re peat, keeping time by the swaying of his ; body, and pronouncing with emphatic force, alternate each syllable, those lines, , thus: Now I lay me i (onm to sleep, 1 prat/ the Lord my soul to keep', If/ should die— "Stop, stop!" cried the Judge, interrupt- ' ing him. " that will do. I give it up and here's the Y, but 1 didn't think you could i say it." Nautical Theology. A story is current of a sailor, more dis posed to divinity than nautical men in gen | eral, who when in this port, formed regu larly one of the congregation at the church of a popular minister. It chanced that during one of the discourses to which ! jack was an attentive listener, the reverend i doctor alluded several times, in scriptural phrase, to 'Satan being bound in chains for a thousand years.' The passage struck the attention of the seaman with peculiar | force, and during the week he pondered frequently upon the words, feeling every ; time an increased satisfaction that an indi vidual towards whom he had never been over partial, was so securely and for such a lengthy term disposed of. On the following Sunday he went tohear • o the doctor again, bui to his great surprise, & I to tire upsetting of ail his recent comfort ing notions, during one part of the sermon the preacher asserted that the devil 'goeth i about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.' Jack quitted the church, ; oppressed with a host of conflicting 1 thoughts and emotions ; and unable after J many a lough goliloqual argument, to re concile the two statements, he resolved to ; summon up courage, and wait upon the clergyman in order to have the mystery solved. He did so, and, after considerable hemming, and hawing, and hitching of the ; trowsers, at length spoke at once, told the doctor he could not make the two sermons fit, and asked, if his Satanic majesty was really bound in the way stated, to know the length of his cable. 'Oh,' was the dig ; nified reply, 'it extends over the whole : world.' 'My eyes?' rejoined jack, 'does !it ? Why the lubber might as well be : loose.'— Liverpool Times. j , ..., PROCEEDINGS OF THE SUPREME COURT. —The Supreme Court, sitting at Pittsburg, on Tues day gave a decision, in an appeal from the Common Pleas of Northumberland, which : will reverse the practice under the act of j 1819, commonly known as the " Three Hun dred Dollar Law." Hitherto it has been deemed sufficient to give notice to the Sherifl, i prio;' to a sale of personal property, that the ' benefit of the three hundred dollar law would be claimed. After tho sale, if the property sold brought §4OO, the defendant received §3OO, and the creditors §IOO. Ac cordiu" to the decision, the law was passed, pot for the benefit of the debtor, but of the debtor's family. The debtor is bound to give i notice when a levy is made, that he intends to claim the benefit of the exemption law. Ap praisers must be appointed, and he is bound ! to select the articles of furniture, &c., which he wishes to retain. If he sutlers the Sheriii to proceed to a sale, he loses all share of the : proceeds, which enure to the benefit of the creditors in the order of their liens. On Thursday, in the Supreme Court, Mr. Tyson (Attorney for the Central Railroad Company,) applied for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued on the Canal Commissioners, requiring vhom to draw the cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company on the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad. The rule was granted, and thirty days allowed the Commissioners to show cause. New Scries—Vol. 6—No. 49. Pay and Allowances. The occupant of Mr. Clay's seat in the Senate of the United States is the person who moved a call for information as to the sums of money received from the Treasury hy Gen. Scott and Gen. Pierce respectively during the periods of their military service. ' Mr, Merriwether,' says the Washington I nion, ' as the representative of a Sovereign State had a perfect right to make such a caff/ Xo doubt of it. The honorable Senator has a perfect right to stand upon his head if he choose to do so. But every body knows that the call was moved for electioneering purpo ses, and that the answer now furnished from the Treasury Department will be garbled, misrepresented and paraded before the coun try with every variety of exaggeration to show the amount of dollars and cents the blood of a hero is worth.

Admirable occupation for Henry Clay's successor in the Senate. When was K ntneky so disgraced before ? Wc find in tU l.uioii newspaper nearly three columns devoted to the subject of Gen. Scott's accounts with the Treasury. We must do that Journal the justice to say that it goes blushiugly into the business, and seems to l'eel that it is engaged in an un worthy task. In the long career of Gen. Scott, including some forty years of military service, tiiere never was any question, so far as we have ever heard, cone Tiling his pecuni ary relations with the Government. He has received -u h compensation as the law allow ed, and there the matter ended. It was reserved for a Kentucky Senator to move a special inquiry into things which called for no investigation, and thus to attempt to throw suspicion upon a high minded man and a faithful servant of the Republic, for the simple fault of being required by his friends and countrymen to stand as a candidate for the Presidency. The maxim that all is fair in politics must be a convenient salvo to some who hold the rout nants of a conscience, and wlio yet venture upon doings which, in any other line of life, would be counted by themselves discreditable and dishonest.— Baltimore American. 300 AGENTS WANTED, SIOOO A YEAR.
