It certainly makes a great difference,'
when you are used to it. Every body
knows—foi. the phrase hasbecome pro
verbiil—:that it nothint when you
.:re'us'ed to it"- whatever it may-be.—L
By - tha• process of hahitude, the disa
-greeable loses its poignancy; and plea
sure fails in its delight. Fainitierity so
domesticates the oceurrence, 'that'at
length as a matter of course, tt passes
without note. A child is' happy whit
its neW.shops,.in the morning ; , but be
fore the - afternoon arrivg3lhe poetry of
leSther has evaporated. Millinery,
when Worn for thelest time, has its
Misses; and•there, is ecstacyinfurni
ture, when it has just come home: But
the tendency is always to a= level.=
Gratification has -no endurance in it;
mid the , 'same is true of our denims.—
It is said; indeed, that Mithridates had
so accustomed himself to the swallow
ing of poison, that malice domestic"
could not dispose of him by a resort to
drugs .and chemicals. A' prescription,
no matter how ~ carefullycompound
ed," disturbed not the physical organi
zation• of this cunning one of Pontus.---
He was doctor-proof=impregnable to
apothecaries, and triumphing over
pharmacy, by dint of being, used to
it." And then, again; when people are
used to' us, how depreciating is the ef
fect. The most impressive and majes
tic presence is soon unnoticed. Instead
of inspiring awe and reverence at home,
people about the house do not hesitate (
to tell sublimity himself, that, they did
not know he was there---that they
thought.he had gone out, or that they
were not aware that'he had come in,—
It was not so at first; but one. may get
used even to the terrific,
Obsemonoreovef„when you' have
cause' for' being coy tat invitation—when
you are not in costame, 7 or look haggard
for need of the razor-•=yet are pressed
to " come in," •under assurance that
" nobody is there." How Often does
it happen, bylhe agency of use, that
this same " nobody "is a compreiien
sive " Nobody," in such cases
'is the husband of the wife—" nobody,"
perhaps; to each "other, but still a con
siderable somebody. -The unshaven
gentleman, to his much annoyance and
exceeding - embarrassment, is entrapped
into rooins quite full of" nobody,' and,
like the incautious Braddock, falls by
ambush. Always ask who " nobody 3 '
is, when told that " nobody's there ;"
and inquire bow. many people constitute
nobody;""m - that family. : Dozens be
come "'nobody " by being , used to
''rbe world is' righti , then ;. there is
nothing like being used •to it.' The -
Asiatic. deiotee slept soundly.. on the
d-jagged .surface or an iron .be , until
L.
Ten;penny nails were more soothing and
delightful' to hini.than the' - softest fea
thers. Whir - a chioce' of pillows,' .he
would have selected a stovepipe to re-.
'pose his cheek., And Othello's "flinty:
and steel couch of war " tias to him' a
" thrice driven bed oidown." • '
It maybe, however, .that people in
general regard political defeat, especial-.
ly if the individual himself chances to,
be on the f , returns," among the killed
and wounded, as not exactly coming
under the head of the entertaining ; but
other people know—we kiaow—that
even this is nothing when you are used
to it. -Here, as,elsewhere, "the hand
of least employment hath the daintier
sense." And then, the freedom from
every trammel Which it involves. Bless
thee; friend, one walks home after siich..
a Alisaster, with not the shadow of a
real care upon his mind. Whatever, Of
sorrow he may suppose himself to have,
it is but a grief from the store-house:of
imagination. He is exempt, fron,t, all

'before the mirror,. from his

verses about • the apareineqt, he ex
changes scowl for scowl `with . his im
age, as if disposed to divide him Self
and go to buffets. He would also see
whether he is mistaken in the' merits
the man, whcOad been presented for
suffrage, anclfiad been denied. But he
can discover uo change—no falling off,
and his Wrath increases. It.,js
alas that Stentor Stubbs is not used to
it; and that he is as yefunable to lake
that philanthropic 'view of the case,
_which. would tell that if he , bad been
successful the other side must perforce
have been sad. certain amount of
sadness is inevitable. it you listen

, • .
Stentor Stubbs, however, in the, first
flushes of his, disappointriicit,
.carried
,on.the war differently, from not gener
alizing enough.
,Wheni the result was
"ascertained, Stentor Stubbs harnuiered
his hat upori his brow; as if, unlike,
Patrick Henry, he was'deterinined ne
ver
again to bow to the inajesty, of
the people." It seemed as if it were
proposed that his bat shoOld be frOm
this time forth,installed,as a .fixture—
Stubbs and his hat, " one - aea indivisi

up to. his - chin, with an, air that told
plainer -than .words, ,could'speak, that,
his charities were ereafter to remain
at home,, and that, all.popular avenues
to his heart Were closed, now init'fOr
