MORAL COSMETICS
Ye who would save your features florid, .
Lithe limbs, bright eyes, unwrinkled forehead,
From age's devastation horrid,
Adopt th plan—
'Twill make, in climates cold or torrid,
A halo °MAL: .•
Avoid, in youth, luxurious diet;
'Restrain the passions' lawless riot,
Devoted to domestic quiet,
Be wisely gay ;'
So shall ye. spite of age's flat,
Resist decay.
Seek not in Mammon's worship pleasure,
But find your richest, dearest treasure
In books, friends. music polish'd leisure ;
The mind, not sense,
Makes the sole scale by which ye measure
Your opulence.
This is the solace—this the science—
Life's purest, sweetest r st appliance,
That disappoints not man's reliance,
What'er his state ; "
But challenges, with calm defiance,
Time, fortune, fate.
ON THE CHOICE OF A WIFE
Enough of heauty . to secure affection.
En , Jugh of sprightliness to shun dejection;
Of modest difli knee to claim protection;
A docile mind subservient to correction,.
Yet stored with sense., with reason, and reflection ;
And every passion held in due subjection;
Just faults enough to keep her from perfection,
When such I find, I'll make ker my election. •

A few years since, as a Now Englatagen
tleman, whose 11R6le we $llOl 4'lll Brown. was
passing a few days Itt a hotel in one of our
Western cities, lie had the misfortune unin
tentionally to offend the susceptible holier of a
tall militia colonel, who was one of his fellow
boarders. His apologies not being satisfac
tory, a challenge was sent to hitt), which how
ever he declined, u mn conscientious sent ibis.
The colone!, who by the way, ta. , won In two ( r
three encounters quite a reputation as a duel
ist, at once conceived the idea that his"tippo
tient was a coward, a nd resolved to disgrace
him, by flogging him in the face of all the w,-
sernbled wisdom of the Louse. Accordingly,
the next date•, at dinner-time, in marched the
duelist, armed with a c o w hid e . an d, a d vent ._

jeeket for hitu in the most approved s tyle,—
Brown was astonished, Luckily, helmit been
a lieutenant ofytiliti.t in his native-state, and
he, knew the importance of incommoding his
eLemy by a iiiversnm. On seizing IL gravy
tureen, he tossed the contents into the face of
his beligerent colonel, and before h e cou ld re .
cover from the drowning sensation thus ee
casionell, he sprang upon the table and began
to shower upon him with a liberal hand the
contents of the dishcA nrotTfid.
"Yon are na in fern al—"
"Coward 1" the colonel wag ahnut to say;
kit at that moment A pißte of greens struck
c u ll u p on hi s gi , tAth, 211141 the word was block
adfut, 1404, forever !
."Ha!" cried the New Englander, whose
1,100 l wag now up "fmd of greens are you !
Take a. potato, too!" and he hurled a telling,
volley of hard yritatees at - him, - "excellent

was oozing out.

ble old gobbler descended fairly upon the
colonel's head, and bursting filled his hair
and eves . ff
with' delicious looking stu\
"here's the fixings," he- continued, as the
squash and jelly followed t.fter.
By this time the colonel was irretrieraldy
defeated; and as his tne,reile—, opooneut seiz
ed a huge pbun pudding, steainuru hot, and
,ht7fding it above his head with both hands,
seemed to bury him beneath it, he quailed in
terror, and throwing down his cowhide, turn

the rudding," shouted .Brown. "Pudding,
colonel; pudding," screamed all his fellow
hoarders, amid convulsions or laughter. But
the colonel was too terrified, and did not
yeas° running until lie had locked himself into
hi s room.
Bat although the colonel escaped front the
pudding; he, did not escape from the ridicule
which the affair oeeasioopa, 110 subsequent
