THE ELMVENTIVCOinfANDMENT.—At the an
nual exhibition of the grammar schools of Bos
ton, the [lon. Edward Everett closed an admi
rable speech with the following capital anec
dote
The -celebrated Archbishop Usher was. in
younger days, wrecked on the coast of Ire
land, at a place where his person - and charac
ter were alike unknown. Stripped of every
thing, he wandered to the house of a dignitary
of the church, in smell of shelter and .relief.
craving assistance as a brother clergyman.
The dignitary. struck with his squalid appear
ance after the wreck. distrusted his tale. and
doubted his character, and said that, so far
from being a clergyman, he did not believe he
could even tell how many commandments there
were. •-I can at once satisfy you," said the
Archbishop, ••that I am not the ignorant
poster you take me fin•. There are eleven com
mandments." This answer confirmed the dig
nitary in his suspicions, and he replied with a
sneer, ••Indeed there are hut ten command
ments in my bible ; tell me the eleventh and I
- will relieve you." "Ilere it is,•' said the
Archbishop. "A new commandment I give un
to, you that ye love one another."
Tun DCGEES or CRIME.—The six degrees of
crime arc thus defined :
-Ile who steals a million is only a financier.
—Who steals. a half million is only a default
er.—Who steals a quarter of a million is a
swindler.—Who steals a hundred thousand is a
rogue. Who steals fifty thousand is a knave.
But he who steals a pair of boots or a loaf of
--hread-is-a-scoutuiretef_the_deepest dye, and
deserves to be lynched !" • .
I.i.7Preams, indeed, arc ambition: for the
very - substance of the ambitious is merely the
shadow of a dream. .And I hold ambition of
so airy 'andlight a quality, that it is but a
shadow's shadow.—Shakspeare.

Lady Thieves.
in Edinburg ilftlinizine for May,
which is not reprinted in this country, we find
very entertaining article on the - subject of
"Genteel 'Thieves." We give an extract or
two:. ,
Let me say sOmething, then. nhont lady
thieves, and inform Mr. Motile, and Mr Every
body Else, how I have learned to lrindle that
sort of bUsiness. When I first opened shop I
knew nothing about itL—had never bestowed a
thought upon it ; and, when one day, i saw a
genteel looking young girl drop her cambric
handkerchief upon an article which I usually
Sold for a guinea, and, taking heth up togeth
er, convey them to her pocket. I seized her un
ceremoniously. hauled her into my little back
room, rung the bell for the maid, had her
searched, found the article upon her; sent for a
Bow street officer, (there were no policemen
then,) and gave her into custody. What a
fobl T was, to be sure ! It - happened that her
father was a elergyman,backed by high connec
tions. and looking forward to be a bishop be•
fore long. Ile bailed her 'out in no.ti me—came
down on me with a charge of conspiracy, and
threats of transportation for life, badgered my
serving-wench out of her'. wits, first himself,
• and then sent a hatchet-faced fellow to . cross
examine her, who drove her clean bewildered
—more fool I for letting him db it ; but I knew
no better then. I saw it would never do to
take the case to trial with
,such a witness, and,
by Jove,'she saved me the trouble by bolthig
•away before the day' of trial came. I was
obliged to withdraw the - charge; and pretend
that it was. all a mistake. The clergyman
talked of prosecuting me for a conspiracy ; but
he had some conscience, and only talked ; the
girl. 1 have no doubt, had confessed the theft
to him. As it was, I got the reputation of a
monster ; and - only. recovered my character by
acknowledging thatl must have been drunk at
the time:and didn't know what I was about
—l, who was never ,drunk in my life !—The af
fair cost , nie fifty pounds , cash. and damaged
my connection to the extent' of at least two
hundred pounds more. I should have been
Vilified, but the parson got his bishopric, and
left my neighhoi hood, I put a new naive on
my sign•hoord and in time the event was for
gotten.. 1 had learned a valuable lesson.
The next lady-thief who favored me with a
visit did me the honor to roh me to the amount
of, twolionnds-ten.—She did it so - clumsily
that, t
,could not avoid seeing her. I afiCeted
not to' notice it ; sniilinvly took her order to
the amount of a 'few shillings, and when I sent
home the grinds. put the stolen article down in
the bill. She called next day, and with the
utmost affability, informed me.of the mistake
I had Made in chargini , an article I had not.
sent, and which she had r ' not ordered. She
brought her , •compamon'.' with her, to prove
that the-artiele - eharred was not in the packet
of goods scut--which, of course, I knew well
- enough. 1 - n - ilinitted - "the Mistake" with - per=
feet good hrAor, and she went away.
. It will be acknowledged that I had learned
my lesson well : but
_though I congratithited
myself on that score, 1 thought the teaching too
4.xpepsive, and resolved to try another plan
next tinie. I had not long-to wait for an op
portunity: Lady S , the wife of a Baro
net, took a fancy to some property of a rather
rare description. and concealed it in the folds of
her sleeve. When she had made her purchas
es, I requested her, under she pretence that I
had something re ma rkable to show her, to step.
into the parlor. Closing the door after her.
"Your Ladyship is not 'aware," said 1, "what
you have done-1 have observed that at times
you are very abstracted in your manners ;
me to show you what you have been do-'
big." With that. I caught her by the arm,
and in an instant drew forth my property.
She blushed red as fire, and her eyes flashed--
but recovering herself in an instant, she burst
into a laugh, and cried, "Really, Mr. Brown,
I am much obliged to you -who would have
thought 'that I bad been so dist mile. Why,
really, I - should have robbed you without
knowing it." -Hardly that," I thought to
myself, but I held my peace, bowed smiling
ly, and attended toy lady to her carriage.
Lady-thief number four was a dowager'of
three-score at least, who came -at regular in
tervals, who bought pretty freely, but always
stole as much as slip could. This was a difli:
cult case, and I hardly knew how-to deal with
it. She wore a large pocket to contain the
plUnder, and was constantly dropping some
thing into it. If I taxed her of the theft, 1
should lose her custom, and that of tier connec
tion, which
_was litillt and of a high class. I
could not persuade her that she plundered un
consciously ; she was too wide awake for
that. I had serious thoughts of keeping a
professional pickpocket on the premises. to res
cue my own property from her gripe, but fear
ed the remedy might prove worse than the
disease. One resource remained ; I had kept
a pretty accurate account of all she - had put-.
loined during the. six months' patronage she
had bestowed upon rue, and when I made out
her account at the end of the season, I set down
each article at its proper date. The old lady
sent her steward to settle the account, to which
she made no objections, but she never again en
tered my shop.
How to Prevent Weevil.
We are informed by Mr. Chamberlain, of the
City Mill,That the farmers of Vermont are in
the habit of (wading the movements of the wee
vil, by a simple process. The next season of
ter it makes its appearance, they go throtig-h
their wheat fields, about the time the wheat is
heading, iinmediately after a shower or while
the dew is on it, and scatter newly slacked
lime broad cast, so that it will adhere to the
heads and stems of the grain. They use about
a bushel to the acre. Goal lime should be se
cured, and slacked by sprinkling a little wa
ter over it so as to retain all its strength. A
paddle may be used in scattering it. The
remedy has, it is said. been so effectually tried,
as to leave no doubt of the result. Strip; in
- large wheat fluids left untouched by the lune,
for experitnent,_have been entirely dusuoyed
by the weevil. while the grain on click side was
all saved.
Since this intelligence was received. Mr.
Jesse Allen, of Centre Mill, has received cor
roborating information flow a Muskingum
county fanner, who •hns seen the same lilac
:ice and the same results there. —3/tron lieu-

Obtaining Revenge.
Mr. Snarl resides in Forsyth street. Mr.
Snarl is an old bachelor. with an Irish girl for
a housekeeper. - Snarl lives in good style, but
has some queer notions. He dislikes dogs
above all things, organ grinders and beggars
not excepted. .
Snarl'S next door neighbor-is Harry Samp
son. Now.. Harry is the very opposite of old
Mr. Snarl. lie sets a high value on a dog.
and there is only one artiele,equal to a New
foundland. find' that's a woman. Harry has
several specimens of the canine race. The
other evening they got up a howlino•. 'match
because the moon became eclipsed. They
commenced about ten o'clock and kept it' up
till the sun got an inch and a half above Wil
liamsburg.
This so annoyed Mr. Snarl, that he hail liar.
ry jerked up "for a nuisance," and lined ten
dollars. Harry paid the money, but resolved
on revenge. The next morning the following
advertisement appeared in the Herald :
—A t Forsyth street, two Bull Dogs
and four Spaniel Pups. For full blooded dogs
the highest price will be paid. Call_ between
4 and G P. M. JANals Sx.t
We need not say that the advertisement
was inserted by flarry. reason for mak
ing, the calls between 4 and 6 P. M., was be
cause Mr. Snarl was always out at that hour,
taking an airing around the Battery.
-At the hour specified, dogs and pups [night
have been seen going up the Bowery to Grand,
to Forsyth, and up Forsyth to the mansion oc
cupied. by Mr. Snarl:
The first person that pulled the 'door-bell
was a butcher boy from Centre Alarket, with
a pair of bull- dogs that-would' "tear h-1 Gat
ofa tiger." Maggie ansivered the bell, when
the following colloquy took place : '
, "Does Mr. Snarl live here?" -
"Ile does. Why do you ax ?"
"1 have got some dogs (or him."
"Dogs fin. Mr. Snarl—mother of Moses, did
you ever ; you've mistook the door." ;
"Devil a bit of it—read that."
Here Syksie took out the Morning. IfernM
and showed Maggie the advertisement. Mag
gie was thunderstruck, there was , •no demniitg
the advertisemeht." Sias accordingly told
Syksie to go into the back yard ••wid the
dogs," . and a wait the -return of Mr. Snarl.
Syksie did so.
In about two minutes Maggie was again
summoned by the door bell.
'What do you want ?'
"Mr. Snarl—l've got them dogs he wanted."
"You have—well then go into the yard Hid
the other blackguard."
No. 2 followed NO. 1 ; No. 2 was soon nil
, lowed by No. 3, who was succeeded by lots 4,
5 and G. , By half-past tive the back yard con
tained twenty-one bull (Rigs and fourteen span;
iels. The former gut up a misunderstanding,
and by the time Mr.:Snarl arrived, seven span
-iels-had-becirpfated—h.nrs—dii-coorbali-w
e bull dog from Fulton Market
,was go
ing through his third light_ with a •vallar tar
vier" from Mott street. --
Mr. Snarl reached home a few minutes! be
fore six. Maggie opened the door and burst
out as follows :
—For the love of the Lord, go back and stop
'ern. They are eating one another up, and it
not choked 'off will devour the cestern. Since
the days of erinninel I've not seen-such hulla
baloe entirely."
Snarl "went back"—Snarl looked into the
yard and would have worn, but he could not
Lind oaths sufficiently powerful to do justice
to his.feelings. When we kft, Mr. Snarl was
emptying "the backyard" with an axe-helve.
The next morning Harry Sampson complained
of him for having a • 'dog fight" on his premi
ses.—Snarl was fined' twenty-live 'dollars—
fifteen dollars for having "midi a tight" and
ten dollars for being "am old hypocrite." It
is necessary for us to say that Harry Sampson
slept better that night than any night since
the war with Mexico. Dutchman.
The Nicholas Mare.
The "Nicholas mare" was a beast of -extra
ordinary speed and endurance. Like most
rare animals, whether human or !woe, s h e
was eccentric •in her habits. it matters not
who owned her at the time-of-the incident we
are a b o ut to 'elate, suffice it to say her owner
was a sensible man, and a thorough horseman :
his predilection for horse-flesh, more than any
thing, else. having driven hum into the livery
business. Neil, to the wile of his bosom he
loVed the Nicholas inure --a fact of which Muir
females tvere sensible, without- being at all
jealous of each other. For this reason the
mate was hired only to particular customers :
and, when let, time party hiring was a livayr; care
fully instructed as to the peculiarities of the
animal. A particular friend, unacquainted
with the animal or her habits, and troubled
with an impediment in his" speech, as well as
with a native infirmity of temper, which pre
vented him exercising any charity for livit.g
creatures of slow and hardy motion, once :Ap
plied to our livery man fbr a horse, for a jour
ney of a dozen miles or so, taken for the pur
pose of bringiry , his wife home from her fath

Pwhist !' a-an-an(1 . 11 go like thunder."
'•Suit you, 1 guess," was the reply.
"We-we-well, out with her, then."
The mate was put between the thilic of a
nice light buggy. her harness thoroughly ad
justed by the owner, the reins carefully laid
over the dashboard, and the usual chapter of
advice opened concerning her management.
"0, g-g-git out with your directions, I can
drive, I g nesm,",, inter! iipted the lessee ; and
picking up the reins. lie Sprang for the seat. hut'
landed heels up upon the buggy bott o m. Th e .

the Column:lad, as he thought, tbroi.gh recovery
of the lines, upon which he pulled as though
resolved ••to do or die." A siight smile was
visi We upon the denture face of the lessor as
the_ vehick_l(xedyLimin—sig_ht_a_t_a

next day, w hen our friend with the impedi-

without his wile. As he drove up a cloud

Small Capitals, and Row to Get Them.
The history of many of the world's hest men.
who have risen front poverty to positions of
honor Ind a flitience, reveals the interesting
Encl. that it was the posse:4%Am' of a small cash
capital in the outset, which enabled them to
start on that career of success w hich ever after
attended their footsteps. The histories of
thousands of men unknown to fame, who have
raised themselves front the drudgery of servile
tasks to situations of comparative contfOrt, at
test the saute important truth.
We fear that a sad forgetfulness of these ox
aniples prevails amm , •men of our day. They
arc apt to sneer at the idea of "small -begin
nings," and to their fatteles in "higher
as pi r ado ll s," , They boast, as if it were a virtue,
that they must commence 'bUsiness on a large
scale, or not at all.
With such spurious 'notions constituting the
mainspring or all their actions.• they soon fill
into spenutl u •ift habits ; they neglect to econ
omize their s►uall weans ; they waste their
time they have no fixed purpose ; they live
from hand to mouth : their reputation for reli
ability is not good ; and when a favorable op-,
portunity occur~. where, by .the judicious cm. ,
ployn►ent of a small —say one hundred dollars,
they could commence a profitable business,
such individuals sure caught without a cent in
their pockets, or an actitiaintance who dares to
trust. them.
Again, there is a large class of young men
who cherish the holier that the times are less
favorable now fin• the successful development
