Artemus Ward, in describing his jour ney from California says: "The driver with whom I sat outside, informed me, as wc slowly rolled down the fearful moun tain road which looked down on either side into the appalling ravine, that he has met accidents in his time that had cost the California stage compauy a great deal of money, ' because,' said he, 'juries 13 agin us on principle, and every man who sues U3 is sure to recover. Rut it will never be so agin, not with me, you bet! How is that l" I said. ' Why, you see he replied, ' that corpses never sue for damages, but maimed people do. And the next time I have an overturn, I shall go round and carefully examine the pas sengers. Them is dead Ihall let alone; but them a3 is mutilated I shall finish with the king-bolt! Dead folks don't sue. They ain't on it Thus by anecdote did the driver cheer me up." Tho Carlisle (Fa.) llcruld states that Mr. John Hefiilfiuger was recently elect ed Superintendent of Common Schools iu that county. Last week lie appeared before the State Superintendent to be ex amined as to his fitness for the position. According to his geography, West Point is situated in Kentucky ; and according to his history, General Jackson fought the battle of New Orleans during the Mexicrn war. Of course, the Superin tendent refused to issue the commission to him. The last will and testament of the late Gen. Lewis Casswasadmittcd to probate at Detroit, Mich., on Tuesday. The value of the estate is estimated at one million dollars. The internal revenue stamp up on the probate of the will is lire hundred dollars. The largest mass of copper that ever left the mines of Lake Superior has just reached Cleveland, Ohio. It is from the Cliff mines, and weights 15,130 pounds. It is estimated that it contains at least 'JO per cent, of pure copper. -.. . - The man who votes for John V.

Advice to Young Men. Young man, are you looking for a wife ? If so, keep your eyes and ears wide open, or you may be wofully deceived. A pret ty face and graceful figure are very at tractive and desireable, if the mind and .disposition but correspond. In the par lor and from home she may be all your "fancy painted her;" but, look well to it, you may be seeing only the bright side. - ueiuro you commit yourscit luiiy, use strategy to ascertain her every-day dispo sition and temper. She may be just the opposite -to what she appears. Dy all means find out if she is thoughtful and affectionate as a daughter and sister. If she fills these two offices well, you may have very little fear in trusting your hap piness in her keeping. Put the young lady whosits in the parlor with white hands and taper fingers, amusing her Idle visi tors, or reading trashy novels, whilo her delicate and perhaps aged, mother is do ing the drudgery of a large family, shun as you would a viper, for it is a rare in stance that you will find a disobedient I I . daughter or neglected sister makes a good ' wile. .If she speaks lightly'of religion, or the temperance cause, view her with distrust ful eyes, for she will surely not be a suit able person to guide and direct your chil dren in the path of duty. Assure yourself that she is not a co quette. If she is your time will be worse than thrown away in trying to gain what she does not possess, a heart. Take the advice of one who has seen much, and do not try the experiment, or you may find when too late, you have made a mistake of a life-time. In conclusion let me say, if you hope ever to possess the richest boon that can be bestowed by heaven the undivided affections cf a true woman strive every day of your life to become worthy of her ; or you never deserve to get her; and I hope you never may, for it is a sad sight to sec a couple unequally yoked, one pul ling at one end of the rope and the other at the opposite eua, witnout any congeni ality of thought or feeling. Heaven for bid that such may be the fate of any one whose eyes may rest upon these few hints. that have been "iven with the earnest hope that they may be of profit to some thoughtless young person, . A Boy Struck Blind far Blasphemy. The vengeance of the Almighty was visited on a youth named Richards, on last Sunday a few weeks ago, in the most awful and sudden manner. It appears that the lad, who is 13 years of age, and the son cf parents in very humble cir cumstances, was playing in the street with four or five other lads of about his own age, at tJ cat and dog." Richards and his companions had been playing for some time, when a dispute arose among them as to the notches and jumps he had scored. Richards declared that he had made more than twenty, and his opponents protested that he had not scored so many. High words and bad language were freely used on both sides. Each boy accused the other of falsehood, and at length Rich ards, failing to convince his companions of the truthfulucss of his statement, flew into a violent rage, and fiercely shouted: "May God strike me blind if I have not made more than twenty!" He had scarcly uttered the adjuration before he let the " dog" fall out of his hands, and throwing up his arms, sudden ly exclaimed: " O, dear, I cannot see !". His companions ran to him, and finding what he said was true, at his request led him home, where on examination it was found that a thick film had overspread each of his eyes. In this miserable con dition the unhappy youth has remained ever since, and we are informed that there is little or no prospect of sight be ing restored.- Brighton Observer. Two Spanish oGccrs recently met to fight a duel outside the gates of Rilhoa, after the seconds had failed to reconcile the belligerents. At this moment a poor fellow approached the seconds, and, in a lamentable voice, said : . " Gentlemeu, I am a poor artizan with a large family, and if you would " " My good man, don't trouble us now," cried one of the officers. " Don't you sec my friends are going to fight?

Among the innumerable anecdotes re lated of the ruin of persons at play, thero is onc worth relating, which refers to Mr. Porter, a gentleman who, in the reign of Queen Anne, possessed one of the best estates in Northumberland, tho whole of which he lost at hazard in twelve months. According t.- th cfir ! this madman for we caunot call him nothing else whe he had rmu. ted the loss of his last acre, at a camin" house in London, and was proceeding down stairs to throw himself ictj a ca riage to convey him to hi3 house in town, he resolved upon having one more throw to try to retrieve his losses, and immediately, returned to the room where the play was going on. Nerved for tho worst that might happen, he insisted that the person he had been, playing with should give him one chance of recovery or fight with him. His proposition wa3 this : That his car riage and horses, the trinkets and loose money in his pocket.Jiis town house, his plate and furniture in short, all ho had left m the world, should be valued in a lump at a certain sum, and be thrown at a single cast. No persuasion could pre vail on him to depart from his purpose. He threw, and lost; then, conducting the winner to the door, he told the coachman there was his master, and marched forth into the dark and dismal streets, without house or home, or any creditable means of support. Thus beggared, he retired to an obscure dwelling in a cheap part of the town, subsisting chiefly oa chanty, sometimes acting as the marker at a bil liard table, and occasionally as a lmlnr in a livery stable. In this miserable condition, with naked ness and famine staring him in the face exposed to the taunts and insults of thoso whom he had once supported, he was recog nized by an old friend, who gave him ten guineas to purchase necessaries. ' He ex pended five in procuring decent apparel; with the remaining five he repaired to a common gaming house and increased them to fifty. He then adjourned to one of the higher order of houses, sat down. with former associates, and won 20,000. Ee turning the next day, he lost all, was once more penniless, and, after subsisting many years in abject poverty, died a b gar in St. Giles. e2- How You can Avoid Bad Husblniis. 1. Never marry for wealth. A wo man's life consisteth not in the things she possesscth. 2. Xever marry a fop, or one who stmts about, dandy-like, in hisVilk gloves and ruffles, with a silver cane, and rings on his fingers. Beware ! there is a trap. 3. Xever marry a niggard a close fisted mean, sordid wretch, who save eve ry penny, or spends its grudingly. Take care less he stint you to death. 4. Never marry a stranger, cr one whose character is not known or tested. Some females jump" right into the fire with their eyes wide open. 5. Never marry a mope or a drone one thing after another, and let thiugs take their own course. 6. Never marry a man who treats his mother and sisters unkindly or indiffer ently. Such treatment is a sure indica tioa of a mean and wicked man. 7. Never on any account, marry a tra ru bier, a profane person, one who in tho least speaks lightly of God cr religion. Such a man can never make a good husband. 8. Never marry a sloven, a man who is negligent of his person cr in his dress, and is filthy in his habits. The external appearance is an index of the heart. J). Shun the rake as a snake a viper a very demon. . 10. Finally, never marry a man who is addicted to tho use of ardent spirits. Depend upon it you are bttter off alone than you would be were you tied to a man whose breath is polluted, and whose vitals are beiug knawed out by alcohol.
