First Court in a New County.: From Breckenbridges Recollections of the West. The first Court in Butler (Pa.) drew the whole population to the town, some on account of busi ness, some to make business,ffiut the greater part from idle curiosity. They were at that time - chiefly Irish, who had all the characteristics of the nation. Alog cabin just raised and covered, but without window sash or doors, or daubing, was prepared for the hall of justice, a carpenter's bench, with three chairs upon it was the judgment seat. The bar of Pittsburgh attended, and the presiding judge, a stiff, formal, and pedantic old bachelor, took his Seat, supported by two associate judges who were common farmers, one of whom was blind of an eye. The hall was barely sufficient to contain the bench, bar, jurors, and constables. But few of the spectators could be accommodated on the lower floor. the only one yet laid ; many there fore clambered up the .walls, and placing their hands and feet in the open intricacies between the logs, hung there suspended like enormous Mada gascar bats. Some had taken possession of the joists; and big John McJunkin (who, until now, had ruled at all public gatherings,) had placed a foOt on one joist, and a foot on another directly over the heads of their honors, standing like the Colossus of Rhodes. The judge's sense of propriety was shocked at this exhibition.' The Sheriff Job McCandless, was called, and ordered to clear the walls and joists. He went to 'work with his as sistants, and soon pulled down by the legs those who were in no very great haste to obey. Mei un kin was the last, and began tb growl, as he prepa red to descend. " What do you say sir V said the judge. " I say, I pay my taxes; and has as good a reght here as ony mon." "Sheriff, sheriff" said the judge, "bring him before ',the court!" McJun kin's ire was now up ; and as he reached the floor, began to strike hishreast, exclaiming " My name is John McJunkin, d'ye seehete's the breast that never flinched, if so be it was in good taupe. stan ony mon a hitch in Butler county, if so be he'll clear me o' the la'." " Bring him before the court," said the judge. He was accordingly pinioned, and if not gagged, at least forced to be silent, while his case was un der consideratkin, Some of the lawyers volunteer ed as amici curia , , some ventured a word of apology for McJunkin. The judge ptonounced the sentence of imprisonment for two hours, in the jail of the county, and ordered the sheriff to take him , into custody. The sheriff with much simplicity, obser ved, "May it plase the coorte, there is no jail at all till put him in." Here the judge took a learned distinction, upon which he explained at some length for the benefit of the bar. He said, "there were two'kinds of custody: first, safe Custody; secondly, close custody. The first is where the body must be forthcoming to answer a demand or accusation, and in that case the body may be delivered for the time being out of the hands or the law on bail or recognizance : but when the imptisonnient forms a part of the satisfaction or punishment, there can be no bail or mainprize. This is the reason of the common law in,relation to escapes under capias ad salisfaciendum, and' also' why a ca. sa. cannot issue after the defendant has been once committed and then discharged by the plaintiff In like manner a man cannot be impris oned twice for the same offence, even if he be re leased before the expiration of the term of impris onment. This is clearly a - case of close custody, and the prisoner must be confined, body and limb„ without bail or mainprize, id some place of incar- - ceration." By the sheriff who seemed to have hit on a lucky thought, "May it plase .the coort, just thinkin that may be I can take him till Bow en's pig pen : the pigs are kilt for the coort, and its empty." "You heard the opinion of .the court." said the judge, "proceed sir, do your duty." The sheriff accordingly retired with his prisoner, and drew after him three-fourths of the spectators and suitors, while the judge, thus relieved, proceeded foj organize the court. #ut this was not the termina tion of the affair. Peace and order had scarcely been restored, when the sheriff came rushing to the house with a crowd at his heels, crying out "Mr. Jidge, Mr. Jidge, may it plase the coortt'S "What is the matter sheriff?" "Mr. Jidge, Mr. Jidge—Mr. McJunkin's got aff d'ye mind."—"What! escaped sheriff? Summon the posse comitcdus !" "The pause, the pussee—why, now, I'll jist tell ye how it happent. He was going along qua-etly, enough, till we got till the hazzle patch, an' all at once he pitched aff intil the bushes, an' I after,him, but a lumb of a tree catched my fut, and I pitched three rods aff, but I fell for it, an' that'd goodrluck ye minte." The Judge could not retain his gravity, the bar raised a laugh, and there the matter ended, after which the business proceeded quietly enough. Tolerably Tough. A man was saying in company that he had seen a juggler place a ladder in open ground upon one end, and mount it bypassing through the rounds, and stand upon the upper one erect. Another, who was present, said he had no doubt of it, as he had Seen a man who had done the same thing, butwith this 'addition, that when he had 'arrived at the top, he pulled the ladder up after him! American Antiquities. From the N. 0. Picayune. Several specimens of American antiquities have arrived in this city. They were discovered by an American traveller while exploring the country of the Sierra Madre, near San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and excavated from the ruins of an ancient city,' the existence of which is wholly unknown to the present inhabitants, either by tradition or history. l'hey comprise two idols and a sacrificial basin, hewn from solid blocks of concrete sandstone, and are now in the most perfect state of preservation. The removal of these heavy pieces of statuary from the mountains, was accomplished by means of wooden sleds, transported by canoes to the mouth of the Panuco, and thence shipped to this port. The largest of the idols was undoubtedly the God of Sacrifice, and one of the most important. It is of the life size, and the only complete specimen of the kind that has ever been discovered and brought away from the country—several attempts having been made by travellers, who were either thwarted by the natives, or encountered difficulties deemed impracticable to overcome. The anatomical pro portions and beauty of this statue are not admired at the present day, but the elaborate work upon its entire surface attracts at once the attention and scrutiny of the beholder. It is principally orna mental, interspersed with symbols of mythology and occasional hieroglyphics. It has two faces, representing Youth and Age; signifying that none are exempt 'from oflering life 'as a sacrifice. The right hand forms an aperture, in which a light is burned during the time of sacrifice. The smaller idol is the God of Sorrow, to whom worshippers caine to offer up their devotions for the tears it had shed, and the reltef afforded them in their griefs. The statue is diminutive, the carvings plain, and the whole simply devised. The Sacrificial Basin measures two feet in diameter, and displays much skill and truth in the workmanship. It is held by two serpents entwined, with their heads reversed— the symbol eternity, which enters largely into the mythology of the ancient Egyptians. The Egyp tian gallery of the British Museum contains several specimens of the work described. The Newspaper. From the New Bedford Mercury How endless is the variety of newspaper readers, and how hard it is to satisfy their wants! Mr. A believes he shall discontinue his paper, because it contains no political news—and B is decidedly of opinion that the same sheet dabbles too freely in the political movements of the day. C does not, take it, because it is all on one side—and D, whose opinions it generally expresses, does not like it be cause it is not severe enough upon the opposition. E thinks it does not pay due attention to fashion able literature—and F cannot bear the flimsy no tions of idle writers. A.; will not suffer a paper to lie upon his table which ventures an opinion against slaveryand H never patronizes one that lacks moral - courage to expose the evils of the day-1 declares he 'does not want a paper filled with the hodge-podge proceedings of doings in Congress and Legislature—and J considers that paper the best which gives the greatest quantity of such reading. K patronizes papers for the light and lively reading which they contain—and L wonders that the press does not publish Dewey's sermons, and such other "solid matter." M will not even read a paper that does not expose the evils of sectarianism—and N is decidedly of the opinion that the pulpit and not the press should meddle with religious dogmas. O likes to read police reports; and P, whose appe tite is less morbid, would not have a paper in which these silly reports are printed in his house—Q likes anecdotes—and It wont take a paper that publishes them. B. says that murders and dreadful accidents ought not to be put in papers—and S complains that his miserable paper gave no account of that highway robbery last week—T says the type is too small—U thinks it too large. V stops his paper because it contains nothing but advertise ments—and all that W wants of it is to see what is for sale. X will not take the paper unless it is left at his door at sunrise—V declares he will not pay for it if left so early, that it is stolen from his domicil before he is up—and Z stops his paper be cause it contains no foreign news. And, last of all, come the compliments of some 01 the ladies, who declare the paper is uninteresting. because it does not every day contain a list of marriages, just as it it were possible I'm poor printers to marry people, whether the parties will or not. Adaptation of Christianity' Since the introduction of Christianity, human nature had made great progress, and society expe rienced great changes ; and in this advanced comh lion of the world, Christianity, instead of losing its application and importance, is limn(' to be more and more congenial and adapted to man's nature and wands. Men have outgrown the other institu tions of that period when Christianity appeared ; -its philosophy, its modes of warfare, its policy, its public and private economy ; but Christianity has never shrunk as Christianity has opened, but has always kept in advance of men's faculties, and un folded nobler views in proportion as they have as cended. The highest powers and affections which our nature has developed, find more than adequate objects in this religion. Christianity is indeed Pe. culiarly fitted to the more improved stages of soci ety, to the more delicate sensibilities' of relined minds, and especially to that dissatisfaction with the present state, which always grows with the growth of our moral powers and affections. As men advance in civilization they becomesusceptible of mental sufferings, to which ruder ages are stran gers ; and these Christianity is fitted to assuage. Imagination and intellect become more restless ; and 'Christianity brings them tranquillity by the eternal and magnificent truths, the solemn and un bounded prospects, which it unfolds. This fitness of our religion to more advanced stages of society than that in which it was introduced, to wants of human nature not then developed, seems to me very striking. The religion bears the marks of having come from a being who perfectly understood ,the human mind, and had power to provide for its progress. This feature of Christianity is of the nature of prophecy. It was an anticipation of future and dis,tant ages. Dr. Franklin's Wife. Franklin, in a sketch of his life and habits, re fates the following anecdote of his frugal and affec tionate wife. A wife could scarcely make a pret tier apology . for purchasing her first piece of luxury We have an English proverb, that says, "He that would thrive, Must ask his wife." It was lucky for me that I have one as much dis posed to industry and frugality as myself. She as sisted me cheerfully in my business, and stitching pamphlets, tending shop. purchasing old linen rags for the paper makers, &c. We kept no idle ser vant; our table was plain and simple; our furni ture of the cheapest. For instance, my breakfast was for a long time breau and milk, (uo tea) and I ate it out of a two penny earthern porringer, with a pewter spoon ; but mark how luxury will enter families, and make a progress in spite of principle; being called one morning to breakfast, I found it ih a china bowl, with a spoon of silver. They had been bought for me without my knowledge, by my wife, and.had cost her the enormous sum of three-and-twenty- shillings, for which she had no' other excuse or apology to make, but that she thought her husband deserved a silver spoon and china bowl as any of his neighbors. This was the first appearance of plate or china in our house, which afterwards, in the course of years, as our wealth increased, augmented gradually to several hundred pounds in value. Necessity of Prayer. It is a great and indispensable.obligation for all men to pray. The virtuous must invoke the mer cies of heaven, and obtain, by prayer, the grace of perseverance. The sinner must implore, by prayer, the pardon of his offended Maker. The young must send up their prayer, that they may escape the seductions of the world, and remain unsullied in the midst of crime, and firm in the midst of temptations. The old must sigh to heaven for pardon for the sins committed in the season of youth, that their path to the grave may be smoothed, and, their death may peaceful and happy. A Guod Daughter. A good daughter! Theiv are other ministers of love more conspicuous than her, but none in which a gentler, lovelier spirit dwells, and none' to which the heart's warm requitals more joyfully respond, There is no such a thing as a comparative estimate of a parent's love for one or another child. There is little which he needs to covet, to whoni the ,treasure of a good child has 'been given. But a son's occupations and ,pleasure carry him abroad, and he resides more .among temptations, which hardly permit affection that is following him per haps over half the globe, to be unmingled with anxiety, until the time when he comes to relinquish the shelter of his father's roof for one of his own, while 'a good daughter is the steady light of her parent's house. Her ideal is indissolubly connected with that of his happy fireside. She is his morning sunlight -and evening star. The grace, vivacity and tender ness of her sex, have their place in the mighty sway which she holds over his spirit. The lessons of recorded wisdom which he reads with her eyes, come to his mind with a new charm as blended with the beloved melody of her voice. He scarce ly knows weariness which her song does not make him forget, or gloom which is proof against the young brightness of her smile. She is the pride • and ornament of his hospitality,' the gentle nurse of his sickness, and the constant agent in those nameless, numberless acts of kindness which one chiefly cares to have rendered because they are un pretending, but expressive proofs of love. And then what a cheerful sharer she is, and what an ever present delight and triumph to a mother's af fection. Ah! how little do these daughters know of the power which God has committed to them, and the happiness God would have them enjoy, who do not, every time a parent's eye rests upon them, bring rapture to a parent's heart. A. true love will al most certainly always greet their approaching foot steps that they cannot alienate. But their ambition should be, not to have it a love merely which feel ings implanted by nature excite, but one made in tense and overflowing by approbation or worthy conduct; and she is strangely blind to her own happiness, as well as undutiful to them to whom she owes most, in whom - the perpetual appeals of paternal disinterestedness do not call forth the prompt and full echo of filial devotion.

Motto on the Bridal Ring. A young gentleman of fine intellect and noble heart, was suddenly snatched by the hand of death from all the endearments of life. Surrounded by everything that could make existence pleasant and happy—a wife that idolized him—children that loved him as they only can love, and friends devoted to him ; the summons came and he lay upon the bed of death. But a few short years ago, she to whom he was wedded, placed a bridal ring upon the linger, upon the inside of which lie hail a few words privately' engraved. The husband would never permit-the giver to read them, telling her the day would come when her wish should be grat ified, and she should know the secret. Seven years glided away, and a day or two since, when con scions that he must soon leave his wile forever, he called her to his bedside, and With his dying accents told her that the hour had at last come when she should see the words upon the ring she hail given him. The young mother took it from his cold linger, and though heart-stricken with grief, eagerly read the words—"l nave LOVED Tu Et: ON —I WILL MEET THEE IN HEAVEN." Who Ought to be Punished. The late Rev. John Thomas, one of the missio nary brethren of Serampore, was one day, after addressing a crowd of the natives on the banks of the Ganges, accosted by a Brahmin,s as follows "Sir, don't you say that the devil tempts marl to sin?" "Yes,'' answered Mr. Thomas. " Then, - said the Brahmin, "certainly the fault is the devil's; the devil, therefore, and not man, ought to suffer the punishment." While the countenances of many of the natives discovered their approbation of the Brahmin's inference, Mr. Thomas observing a boat with several men on board, descending the river, with that felicity of instructive retort for whiCh he was distinguished, replied—" Brahmin, do you see yonder boat ?" "Yes." "Suppose I was to send some of my friends to destroy every person on board, and bring me all that is valuable in the boat; who ought to suffer punishment ? I for instructing them, or they for doing this wicked act ?" "Why," answered the Brahmin, with emotion, "you ought all to be put death together." "Ay, Brahmin, - re. plied Mr. T., "and if you and the devil sin together, the devil and you will be punished together." A Lock of Hair. Few things in this weary world are so delightful as keepsakes. Nor do they ever, to my heart at least, nor to my eye,lose their tender, their powerful charms! How slight, how small, how tiny a me morial, saves a beloved one from oblivion—worn on the finger, or close to the heart, especially, if they be dead. No thought is so insupportable as that of entire, total, blank forgetfulness—when the .creature that once laughed, and sung, and wept to 'us close to our side, or in our arms, as if her smiles, her voice, her tears, her kisses had never been. She and them all swallowed up in the dark nothingness of the dust. Of all keepsakes, memorials, relics—most dearly most devotedly do I love a little Ibck of hair; and oh! when the head it has beautified has long moul dered in the dust, how spiritual seems the undying glossiness of the sole remaining!. All else go to nothing, save and exceptthatsoft,smooth,burnished and glorious fragment of the apparelling'that once hung in clouds and sunshine over an angel's brow. Ins and Outs. A correspondent of the Boston Bee writes in A spirit which suits almost every meridian at present. " Who is to be Collector ?" " Who is to be Mar shal ?" "Who is to be Post Master ?" are the leading questions here just now, and the public are on the qui vine for .the appointments. Meanwhile the present incumbents shake in their shoes: " We are told by Sterne, the saddest sound Which ever ear of mortal heard, Was when the poor imprisoned bird Looked on the free air all around And cried ; in plaintive, piteous shout, " I can't get out—l can't get out " But here one hears a sadder strain, A far more melancholy song; For as they pace the streets along, Those fattened by the crib exclaim, ' ('Tie plain enough beyond all doubt,) They'll turn us out—They'll turn us out." 117 "He is a freeman whom the Truth makes free." The Young Lovers. BY WASHINGTON IRVING. To a man who is a little of a philosopher, and a bachelor to boot, and who, by a hint : of some one experienced in the follies of life, begins to look with a learned eye upon the ways of.,,lnan, and eke of woman, to such a man I say, there is something very entertaining in noticing the conduct of a pair of young lovers. It may not be as grave. and scien tific a study as the love of the plants, but it is cer tainly interesting. have thelefore derived much pleasure, since my arrival at the hall, from observ ing the fair Julia and her lover. She: has all the delightful, blushing conscientiousness of an artless girl, inexperienced in coquetry, who has made her first conquest, while the captain regards her with that mixture of fondness and exultation with which a youthful lover is apt to contemplate so beauteous a prize. I observed them yesterday in the garden, advancing along one of the retired 'walks. The sun was shining o . ,with delicious warmth marking great masses ofbright verdure and deep blue shade. The cuckoo, that harbinger of Spring, was faintly heard from a distance; the thrush piped from the hawthorn, and the yellow butterfly sported and toyed and fluttered in the air. The fair Julia was leaning on her lover's arm, listining to his conver sation, with her eyes cast down, a soft blush on her cheek, and a quiet smile upon her lips, while in her hand that hung negligent by her side, was a bunch of flowers. In thiS may they were saunter ing slowly along; and, when I considered them and the scene in which they were moving, I could not but think it a thousand pities that the seasons should ever grow older, or that blossoms should ever give way to fruit, or that lovers should ever get married. Appropriate Education. From the Genessee Farmer It is a truth admitted by all, that youth is the best period of life to acquire a knowledge of the business which is to employ us in manhood. Why not then begin in our primary schools, and instruct our children in the elementary principles of the business by which they are destined to obtain a livelihood? A boy who is to become a farmer may acquire, in the course of a common school education, and without prejudicing his other useful - studies, much elementary knowledge in husbandry,' which. like a seed in a fertile soil; will grow with his growth, strengthen with his strength, and pro duce abundantly: The German system in this re spect i's entitled to preference over every other with which we are acquainted. Loudon ..infogins us,— and he obtained his knowledge on the spot, that in Bavaria, a piece of ground is attached to each parochial school, to be cultivated by the scholars with their masters; and that in these school cate chisms of agriculture, of orchard culture and others, has been introduced through the active exertions of Mr. Hazzi, and put into the hands of all the boys and girls, the latter studying those only which .re late to gardening, the management of silk worms, and domestic economy. Our habits are generally moddled iu youth, and it is of much importance to give them a right hi Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, in a recent address at the meeting in Alexandria, for the ben efit of the Orphan Asylum and Free School of that city, related the following anecdote: "A poor little boy, in a scold night in 'January, with no home or roof to shelter his head, no paternal or maternal guardian to guide, to protect and direct him on his way, reached at nightfall the house of a rich planter, who took him in, fed, lod ged, and seat him on his ytay with his 'blessing.— Those kind attentions. cheered his heart and inspir ed him with fresh courage to battle with the Obsta cles of life. Years rolled round: Providence led him on; he had reached the legal profession ; his host had died; the cormorants that prey on the substance of men had formed a conspiracy to get from the widow her estate. She sent for the near est counsel, to commit her cause to him, and that counsel proved to be the orphan boy years before welcomed and entertained by her and her deceased husband. The stimulus of a warm and tenacious gratitude was now added to the ordinary Motives connected with the profession. He undertook her cause with a will not easily to be resisted; he gained it ; and the widow's estates were secured to her in perpetuity; and, Mr. Stephens added, with an emphasis of ernotion that sent its electric thrill through the house—that orphan boy stands before you. How to Break 111 News. A receipt for this purpose, published in a London miscellany some years ago, is contained in the fol lowing dialogue, the scene of which is laid in Ox ford, where a family steward enters to a collegian Collegian. Ha, Jarvis, how are all things at, home'? Steward. Very bad, your honor. Magpie ' s dead (el. l'uor Mag ! iiow came she to die? Stew. Over-ate herself, sir. ('ol. Greedy wretch!

Woman, says a newspaper writer, loves flowers, and flowers are like woman in their, beauty and sweetness, so they ought to, grow up together. No flower-garden looks comptate tvithont a'wonian in it—no woman seems so lovely as when she is sur rounded by flowers. She should'have her fragrant boquet,at the party; window-plants in the Parlor ; if possible, some rich and rare flowering shrubs in her conservatory ; but better than all these, and supplying all, every woman in the world should have a flower-garden. Every man who has the least gallantry or paternal feeling, should make a flower-garden for his wife and daughters. Every house—the smallest cottage, as well as the largest mansion—should have around it the perfume of lilacs, pinks, and other hardy odoriferous flowers that cost no trouble, but bring with them every year a world of beauty and fragrance. , The. Pursuit of Ambition. The pursuit of ambition may be aptly compared to ascending the Andes. The greater the elevation attained, the more is the 'aspirant remOved from the common sphere of his fellow men. As he who climbs - Chimborazo attains a region of perpetual coldness and barrenness, of eternal solitude and' loneliness, while he who remainson the plainsbelow, inhabits a region of constant warmth and verdure, in the midst of society and sympathy; so he, who ascends the mountain of ambition, will find himself alone, without sympathy or reciprocal attachment, in the company of a few as lonely and isolated_ as himself; while'he who is content to remain as one among his fellow men, in, the common sphere be low, will have his heart warmed and. fertilized by the invigorating rays of reciprocal attachment and affection, and be enabled to drink in pleasure and enjoyment irom a thousand springs unknown to the man of ambition. .. 117" A fashionable lady is said to be like a ship, because-her rigging , costs more than the hulk is worth.
