A Slight Mistake.—Two members orthe "Nation
al Movernedt" party in the coarse of their preambn
lations throtigh Darlington, came to the house of an
old woman: who is chiefly dependent on parochial
aid tor subsistence, whom they requested to sub
scribe to the "National Rent," and told her, co
doubt with the idea of making her "bleed" more free
ly, that whet) they (the Chartists) became the ruling
power in the state they would abolish their poor
rates. " Ye'll abolish poor rates ! " exclaimed the
beldame, in, her, in her shrillest tones, mistaking
their meaning, "ye'll abolish poor rates, will ye ?
get out o' ray house, ye scoundrels, get out!" and
forthwith seized her brush, with which she would
have consoled her ruffled feelings, at the expe nse of
her visitors,'had they not acted with valour better
half, and made a hasty and trigloriorts retreat ere
the storm fell open them in its fall fhry.
, At a meeting of the Chartists held at Westbury a'
few days since, it was moved that every Chartist
should have 'a gun hung up in his kitchen; upon
which.unti of the company, after some sensible ob
servations, moved an amendment, that the word gnu
be omitted, end the wordsflitek of bacon substituted.
This person n'itpreseed himself with so much quaint
nest and good humour, that the meeting readily a
greed with him,. and the ameodmeut was carried
with acclamation.
A Radical Convention.—This body is actually
sitting in London. It excites notice though not a
larm. O'Connell is one of the members. In refer
ence to the determination of the government not to
repeal the corn laws, and the strengthening of the
military power of the throne, the chartists, es these
con ventioi'zists are milled, recommend a rural police
—every Man to go armed with a bludgeon, and to
resist any attack on his person, Robespierre is
eulogized—the Woburn, or Duke of &Word's e.
states pointed out as among the spoils to be divided;
if the landlords and capitaltstia, who Are denpunced
as "robbers, tilitors and murderous," do not yield
to the peoplethat they ought to be pursued with
fire and stvoid, &c. The Rev. Dr. Wade, one of
the mcrnbtira, : was censured for depreciating physi
cal force. All Yorkshire is said to. be actually
alarmed.
A suitor appeared in a Court in London, about
the 20th of last month, end was about making
known the grounds of his application, when the
judges told him that they had already made a dents.
too fatal to bill plea.
The iuitor confessed kis utter Ignorance of any
such decision,.
"It was in *ll the newspapers,"-said the Court.
'"But I do hot see the • newspapers," *aid the
ma o. • •
"That is not ear fault," replied the judges. " You
should *sea the newspapers, end leery ether me
should."
That is ,a decision of an English Court, and we
suppose it is operative here as wall as there.
The Fealwes of Notions.—The Paris Times far
plebes the following condensed view of the world :
England, Sys. that paper, is a vast. Manufactory, a

line, he had the charge of a twelve oxen ploligh, no
horses being used. He has a distinct.recollection
of the movements of Prince Charles's army, and
narrates of the various else/ who, followed that un
fortunate but brave. claimant of the British Crown.
From litirgyehirti he Went. to .Perth, where be got

moved to Benchory, in Abirteensbirtn where , for
many years he followed the avocation rift shepherd;

There is no place in the world 'which humbles a
Mall in iii own ritilhatiOn so ankh as London. It
is all very. well to bold our heads ku,gitin the coun
try, and to fancy that we are persons of very great
iiiiPoitance; let any one Who efareMs such no
'dem be set down in Cheep:Me, to'clock in the
afternoon, and in the midst of that hurrying, driving
mass of intelligence,- he will al 'himself a mere
atem--41inost a nonentity. The lye - tripoli. is the
great reservoir of talent—from all 'Pinta of this vast
empire rt grititates to Limdarit 'lnere'the master

..busied in conceiving and presenting 'to the world
their beautiful emotions ; theriibe'sballow pretend

ly &Mitten level: infCtior abilities are thrust aside
to make room for, the crowd of aspiraitts to excel
lence in every department of occupation, whether of
a physical or a initial character.
• Flung alone up6h this turbulent sea of hopes and
aspirations, Tom Sharp found, to his surprise, that
his knowledge : after ill was but very inferior indeed,
both in quality end quantity, to that of many mound
him. No one, to have seen him strolling through
the crowded thoroughfares of London, would have
reedgnized, in the dejected,.lean-looknig individual
before him, the Clever Tom Sheep, who ...knew some
thing of everything." . •
He had aptilieVin occupation in a hundred dif
ferent quarters, but he could not draw' well enough
for a drawing-moister; nor sketch well enough to be
art artist's inurisoint; no t fiddle well enoughsto take
a place ih a s bartln nos knew-enough of c'hymistry to
assist in it laboratory ; he did not know.enough of 1
short-liandlo titttilify him for a reporter's silvation
in short he,:he did not knots enough of anything to I
makeit available to the purposes of eiistence, srui
With a hungry stomach and despairing heart, he re
turned every evetting to his lodgings, more spirit
broken and .hopelluis 'than when he set out in the
morning. •
In the house in which Tom Sharp lodged; .there
was another iitmate•who, to our hero's great surprise,
appeared to be always happy and thriving, although
he did not seem' to possess that veraalty of talent
which so• distinguished himself. •
' One evening, after Work was over, this artisan and
Toni. wens sitting together, Tom bewailing his ill
access, and wondering at its cause, when his com
panion remarked, dial he hoped Mr. Sharp would
excuse him, but thhiight, for his part, that it was
strange, after all that Toin could not gain employ
ment.
"Indeed !" said Tom, uI think it eery strange,
that in this great city, with all its resources, and its
innumerable opportunities afforded to the enterpris
ing and persevering, I shoOld not . find one chance
of living ; I am sure I have been perievering enough.
It would not be se odd if I was acquainted with orie
branch of knowledge, but knowing a
thing of everything.'—"
"That's the imy hindrance, • sir," interrupted tali
friend ; “but in London a than, to geion, only needs
to know one thing well; if he does, and is Industri
ous and careful, the chances ere greatly in his fa
vor."
. Here the conversation ended—it was not lost on
Toni Sharp ; he Firofitted by the lesson, and lived
long enough to see the evils of • superficial knevil
edge. There are thousands, now in - poverty and
wretchedness, Sabo wouldhave been differently situ
ated, had they applied their undivided energies to
some useful pursuit. The story must carry with it
its own moral. We shall be well pleased if it con
vinces any one that a thorough knowledge of one
subject ' better thin a smattering of all.
Some years ago, a lady nlittchag that a neighbor
of hers was rot- in her seat at church on a Sabbath,
called, on her return home, to inquire what could

within a few feet of them. The clouds in the west
were as black as jet, rind kept e constant circular mo

marked its track ! the tallest oaks were twisted like
reeds, and thrown upon th'e..earth ; other large trees ,
were torn up by the roots, and borne away by the
wind. This land t otm passed within one hundred
yards of where we 'Stood; and the rush of air infle

that we could with Ithe utmost difficnity stand upon
