Hotels have now become so numerous ia cities, and fare so reasonable, that tbey are tbe resort, at times, of nearly all class of society. Tbe man who cau afford to travel from home, can afford to stop at a bete ; and as landlords are smart enough to regard the wants of tbe million as well as those of tbe millionaires, we Gad the rich and the poor, tha high and tha humble, side by side, at hotel tables. Home spun there sports a silver fork with as much gusto as Mr. uroaacioin, anu tue nunioie ' bally" is as much entitled to and enjoys as fully, tha good things of life at the richly loaded table to tbe notoi. as tne accomptisneo Miss Joeephiua Martha Washington Victoria Maria. Consequently the hotel is a good place to etocly human nature, for there we sea men and women, too, from all tbe walks of lifo, and ef all classes of character. "Often extremes meet," and when such is the ease, amusing in cidents ara tore to oteur. Bitting ona evening in tha office of tha 0 House, in Cincinnati, my attention was attracted toward two eeauina and nnadnlter ated fops who occupied seats near me. A description of them would be nniateresting, for there is co community in this broad laud of ours withoat its fops, and a fo.p is a fop, sod nothing else, tha world over. They admit of one dist inction city fop and country fon : aad they differ euly in tha extent of their dress, or exterior display, it being con ceded, 1 believe, that fops possess merely suf ficient brains to make an animal a human. The individuals referred to were city fops, diminutive specimens of bumaaity, in every regard. One of them bad received leltor from a lady, which he read to his companion to whom be declared the writer was "chawming bean tifal ; but, as she was without a prospect, (for a fortune,) be could not consent to re turn her love." He vowed that the billet- doux annoyed him exceedingly, as be disliked to break the dear creature's heart. While they were thus engaged in conversa tion, a tall, strapping lionsier entered the hotel. He had a "Huena Vista" on bis head, and a red flannel "wamns" on his shoulders, wbilo his lower extremities were in brown linsy pants, and the stoutest hog skin boots. His hair was long and .scraggy, his fsco unshaved, at least, for a week, while his wholo form was covered with dust, which indicated that he had just arrived by railroad. In one hand be carried a bundle, which was evidently his clothing tied ep in a "spau now" yellow and red cotton handkerchief, and in the other held a stout but rude walking stick, not lone since from its mother hickory. He had that awkwardness of gait peculiar to countrymen whose days are spent almost entirely upon farms, and whose minds are devoted to tbe one thing most sought after, but not the most desirable, the accumulation of wealth. lie paused a moment at the door, clancinir at tbe crowd within, and at once attracted tbe attention or the fops, who immediately gave a sort of consumptive laugh or sneer, at the homely appearance of the stranger. ,:ls this yer a tavern I" be enquired of the fops. A twavern 7 horrible r exclaimed one of the fops holding np both hands. A. twavern, indued T said the other, "ho most bo from tho woods, Chaw lee," and both renewed thoir laughter. ibe Uoosier gave them an imlitrnant look and was about to reply, when tbe clerk, who bad observed biin, approached and informed him that ho was at a hotsl, and iuqnired if bo wished to stop. "Mop I sarttn I do, was his response ; you don't reckon a feller wants t o pass ich a smart tavern ns this yer, without etoppiu', do you, Knrnoll?" "Hardly, sir ollow me to take your bair- gago, and furnish you with a room." "Jest as you ve a mind I in not at all par ticular so 1 git six feet o' bed, ami a hull plate at tbe table. Golly t but ain't this a scrougin' town 1 "liuite a place, sir. Walk this way if yon please, and 1 will attend to you instnntlv," said the clerk, as he took the Jiooaier's bundle. "Wall, now, you're nneommon perlite, stran ger, but I reckon you make a feller pay for it all in the course of sarotimstanci-ii, but a, you're sort or hnman set right up to a feller what s in a strange conntry, I ni the chap to square your bill for fodder to a figure, when you fotch it np. That's my way o' Join' business, kume.ll.' "1 have no doubt of it, sir," said the clerk, smiling and banding hlin the book for that purpose, usking him to register his name. Do what I inquired luo stranger, some what astonished. "Register your residence in this book, sir." "Write down tharT" "Yes, sir." "Cum, now Kurnell, none of your tricks," said the Hoosiei ; "it kind o' riles me to cum across sick critters." Oh, sir, it's no trick, I assure you. Wo require it of our visitors, as much for their own as eur benefit." "You don't tell 1" "Yes, sir, it is a fact." "Want to know whether thoy can write, I reckon. Wall that' on a equur. Whun a feller goes n way from hum, be ought to show his educatiou. 1 only leumed to write when I was a shaver, but got up purty high in fig ures. I'll give you a specimen of my duct ography, aa old "Squire Smith calls writun, in darned short order; and the traveler took tbe pen, squaring himself to suit, leaned over the book to writo. His oddity attracted tbe attention of all in the office, including the two fopa, who amused at his remarks, gathered about him at the clerk's desk. The peu in bis baud bud touched the book, when ho paueed, and after reflecting a moment raised bis bead, and addressed the clerk, said ; "Kurnell, do you want all of a fuller's uame t" "We would like to have your nnme in full." "Full name! Wall, that's a puzzler. You sea my family uame is Ilempfiold, and thou my christian name is John lsaiab, that I bur's John Isaiah Hemplield, isu't it 1" "Yes. sir." "Wall thon, the boys down our way con siderin' Die a right smart cbnp, kind a gin me a second crisleniu' they culled me lloss Head." Tbe informotion so innoceutly given, caused a loud burst of laughter from the crowd, lloss Head participated in it, for he loved a laugh, and could be as merry as tbe next ono. ' A rale smart name ain't it boys ?" ho ask ed after tbo luughter had ceased. Wo'd you Dat it down in the book ?" "Certainly, certainly, cried an. In a few minutes the slruhger, after giving hia pen many circular movements over the book, and changing bis position several limes, succeeded in writiug bis name in full, as fol lows : "Mr. Jobn Isaiah Hempfield lloss Head Persimmon Post Office, Yallur County, In diana. He pointed to this specimen of "cbickogra- phy," with pride, and seemed wonderfully pleased with the luisome praise ocsioweu upon it by the gentlemen present. Expressing a desire to get fixed up, tha clerk showed him to the wash room when tho fops who bad endeavored to enjoy tbe Hoosier's greenness were struck with aa idea about such a one as generally racks the bedulled brains of men if meu they may be called of their stamp. Anxious to display their smartness and create amusement at the x- pouse of another the fops seized tho porter's brushes, and giving the crowd a knowing wink, as much as to say we'll make fun for you, approached lloss Head. "Shall I bwush you, slrrab V asked one en deavoring to play the servant. "Wall now, by thunder!" exclaimed lloss Head, as be dropped the soap from his bands and ceased his ablations. "I always was good at guessin , oat iuio uis an creation. Look yer Kurnell," addressed the clerk "I no sooner seed these fellers, to-night tban I gaessed right out that tbey was sarveats." Tbo boisterous laugk which followed was to the great chagrin of tha fops. . "They just look," he continaed every bit being enjoyed by the crowd as if they warn't made for uotbin' else than to scrape tha mud from a feller's legs, and do little chores areund a tavern. I thunk that when 1 first seed 'em; an' by thunder warn't 1 right) though T Brush me off ! Bartaluly 1 and (with a diguified air) mind you make a clcau sweep, or I U report you to the Kurnell, thar." Tbe fops finding that noss Head had thrown the joke upon them, endeavored to recover; so they informed him that ha should not be brushed unless he paid in advance. 'Toy in advance 1" was Hobs Head's indig nant reply. "Thunder and" salvation I don't the tavern pay you for your lnzy, trifling work t I reckon yon think I'm kinder green, and want to skin me, don't you T" "Pan onah we dwon't' replied one. "We, ah speak the twuth," answered the other. liy this time floss Head was victorious, so far as the speactators were concerned. While they could not sportjwith the Hoosier's ignorance of "city manners," they could but despise the senseless dandies who made him en object of ridicule. Kvery hit, therefore, 1 1 oss Head gave them, drew fourth loud ox clamations "from the gentleman from the countrv," and giving his head a toss, which threw his hat to one side he asked : "Ain't they tryin' to skin me, boys ?'' "Yes," came from a dozen. "1 thunk so from the start, an' therefore, was on the lookont for 'em. Kquiro Jones told me afore I left hum, to look out for tavern thieves when I got to the city, end by thunder I've run agin two of 'em right at tbe start." "Dwo you mean to insult ns!" nsked one of the fops, forgetting the part he had volun teered to play, and feeling that ho ought to profess indignation on being called a thief. "If the shoe Gls, wear it," was lloss Head's pointed answer. "Did you apply tho term twavern thief to us T" asked the other fop. "Snrtain. 1 did." Then, sirrah, wo will let yon know that wo only assumed the cliwaractet of servant. V e are gentlemen, sirrah, and insist on vouah taking bwack the obnoxious wappollutioo, or wo will seek wedwess. "Yes, sirrah, we will seek wedwess with our canes ah," said his companion, as he flourished a si.m specimen or a cane over his head. "What!" exclaimed Hoss Hend, drawing himself out to his full length, and giving the diminutives before him rather a scornful look. What, you want to fisht do vou T Just clear a ring, boys and stand back if yon want fo see mo eat them two critters in a half a minute. I can do it by any watch in the crowd. Just clear the ring. "Stop, stop," interrupted the dark, who saw that matters were going too far, "we can't have any fighting here." "Then larn your servants to bo purlite," replied Hoss Hoed. "They ere not servants, sir, and do not bo long to the home. They aro not even board ers, and I assure you, Hir, 1 never saw thorn be Com this evening." "Don't belong to the tavern, and trying to skin me." "I presume sir, they only intend to play a harmless joke." "That's all pori onah," replied one of tho fops who saw the matters wnro assenting rather s serious aspect for himsolfand friend. "Tlint was all we intended, wasn't itCbnwlee?" "Pon onah it wns." "Kinder pokin' Tun at me, oh ? Wall now, I can stand a joke as well as the next man on airth, and Kurnell, I'll gin twenty-five cents all in silver, just to carry tboin ar meu out of tho house." "1 havo nothing to do with them, sir, and you can act to your own pleasure," replied tho clerk. The fops surmising the intentions of thn lloosier, started for the door, but ho seized thorn and said : "Hold on I its better to ride wn it costs ! nothing. I've got to tell you a story and larn you a lesson before you le.ave this tavern," and grasping both lightly by the collar, ho held them as if in a vice. The fops remon strated, but Hoss Head to the delight of the crowd told thorn that there was no nse a talkin' for tbey could not go until they heard the story. Tbey consented to remain if he wonld let go of them to which bo did not object. Surrounded by such persons as are always found in a botel offic-n, Hoss Head with bis eyes on the fops, told the following story : "My old man down in Yoller County owns as sumptuous a farm as lays in nil them dig- gins. On that ar farm be s got an old horse, ho calls htm Dick, as good naturcd a critter ns ever rubbed bis noso in feed, and all any body could say of him was that he was right smartly common in looks. One timo a rich lulier, who lives somcwiiar in tins town, wns trovelin' in a carriage, and broke down right agin our farm. He concluded he'd go in the cars, and left his horses with the old man to take care of 'em, an I mutt allow, that a purtier pair of critters nevor rubbed a brichetr The old man put them in the barnyard olong with old l'ick ; and told em to muico them selves to hum. Old Dick wus monstrous glad to have company and he cum ruunin' up to them in a neighborly sort of a woy, and throwed his head over fust one of their necks and then tht other, nn was as luviu' as any gul could want hor beau to be. Tho city bosses didu't appear to like this much au' they kind'o drawed back, took a good look at Dick, and seeing he was uncommon ugly, they just turned up their noses and flirted their tails and stalked oil', "This sort'o riled old Dick, for he knnwed lie was just as good a horse as lifted a bof, and after thiukiu' to himself awhile, he deter mined to have satisfaction on the two up starts, who thought tbey was better than him. So ho goes up to them and turns his hack to 'em just this way ;" and here Hosa Head got down on all fours, with his "hind parts" to the fops. "After be had stood this way about a minit, bo rared and kicked this way," and tho same moment one of bis feet was in thn stomach of each of the fops, and they found themselves sprawling on tbe floor. "Old Dick," said Hoss Head, unmoved at what he had done, "keeled them over, and by the time they war op be war tbar, and he ra red agin this, way ;" and the fops who bad just risen and were making for the door, found themselves on tbeir stomachs. "Our old hnss kept follerin' 'em up." continued Hoss Head, as he moved back slowly on all fours, "until he got the city bosses who could brag of nothiu' but their purty bar and thoir bides, right by the bars, aad he rared sort'o this way, and sor.t both of tbem out of the-barn-yard a kilin'.-and taking good aim ho gave the fops a third and harder kick, which sent them through tha open door on the pave ment, As soon as the fops could get op. they ran off screaming murder at tbe top of their weak feminine voices, which however, wore not loud enough to alarm any one. Tha spectators of tba scene nearly split their sides with laugh, tor, as kick after kick was given, heartily couenrring in the opinion, that Hoss Head was administering a just and well deserved punishment. After be had giveo tha last aad most fearful kick, the lloosier resumed an erect position, and participating in tha general roar ot laughter, said ; "Wall, boys, I gness I learned them dandies that the best boss don't always show tha finest hair." . The eveat, made Hoes Head quite a lion at tbe botel. Invitations to drink were extend ed to him oftener than was desirable, wine was sent to the table, he was conducted in a carriage through the city to see the sights, and when at length ho started for home, the landlord told him ha had no bill to pay, and that be could consider hia "hat chalked" for that hotel whenever business or pleasure caneq mm to tne city. John Isaiah Hempfield Hoss Hend ex pressed himself highly delighted with the Queen city, and all tho people within, except fops, and left tho Western Metropolis a very highly tickled individual. The fops have not been seen since that "aver memorablo eve sing," when for a joke they assumed tbe character of servant. UtisccIIancons. Marrying Advice to Young Ladies. Whan I see a man a miser a lover or gold more than God sacrificing integrity itself to mistakon interest, J guess that man is seek ing happiness where it is not to be found, and that be would be miserable nnder any circumstances. Ladies, do not marry a miser ; he will deny you not only the comforts, but the necessaries of life, and make you poor in the midst of plenty. He will not only destroy yonr peace of mind by eternally talking of anticipated evils, but he will stint and starve you until your body shall become as lean as yonr soul. When I see a man a lover of idleness more tban of industry, sacrificing even his interests to Indolence, I gness that man will soon learn want. Ladies, do not marry a lazy man ; for ha who is devoid of energy must be devoid of proper feelings, and will not bo stimulated by affection to discharge his duty to bis family. Holy Writ informs us that bo who will not provide for his own household is worse than an infidel, and hatb denied the faith.. When 1 see a man a lover of whiskey more than of water, wasting his health in wanton ways, sacrificing his health, reputation, and peuce of mind to a beastly appetite, I guess that man will soon drain the cup of bis misery to the very dregs, and that be is not long for this world. Ladies, do not marry a drunkard ; of all characters bo is tbe most to be dreaded and avoided, for drunkenness is the school of every other vice, and the high road to ruin. Wbuu I toe a man a lover of self more than of society, engrossing, while in company, the whole conversation to himself sacrificing every principle of politoness to a dictatorial disposition I gnoes that that man, few as he admire will find still Tower to admire him, and nono to pluco as high an estimation upon him as be puts upon himself. Ladies, do not marry a "proud, conceited, talking spark," be is too much in love with his noblo self to leave nny room in his heart for any one else ; and rest assured, where affect ion is not mutual, life cannot be prosperous or bappy. "Soest thou a man wise in bis own conceit, there is more hope of a fool than of him." Wheu 1 see a man a lover of pleasure more than of property, sacrificing principle to passion, and prone to prostrate bis pros pects buforo his propensities, I gnoss that thut man will reap pain in moan oi pleasure, and that pleasure itself will pall on his palate. Ladies, do not marry a lover of pleasure ; he cannot perpetually please you, nor cun you please him long. When 1 see a man prodigal with his pro perty, pouring it nut profusely, without re gord to the precepts of prudence, 1 guess that that man is precipitately pacing the path to poverty, and that therefore be will uot long owii property Ladies, do not marry a prod igal, unlesB you chooso poverty. When I see a man of virtuous life, with a clear head and a warm heart, and industrious habits, laboring with zeal and energy for his own and general good, 1 guess that man would make a fine citizen, a happy husband, an affectionate fat hor and a prosperous man. Ladies, keep a good look out and when you find such a character, and can get an offer from him, do not hesitate or pause to inquire whether he is rich, or descended from a great family, but jump at tho chance, and yonr days shul! pass sweetly and smoothly away. Heavkx. Can mortal minds conceive the glory of that upper sphere were the sun never goes dowu and night cun never come? Where tho river of lifo rolls its cristal waves around the high white throne of the great Kternal. Fairer flowers than any Flora's band has strewn on earth bloom in the fields of immor tality. Cherub forms floot on the waves of music swept from the golden harps of god's elect. Kurth's brightest sunbeams are but darkness compared to tbe light that enmates from the sun of righteousness.

Tns Si.axokrbh A slander case has just been decided in one of tho Courts or New Jersey, in which the jury returned a verdict of seven hundred dollars for the plaintiff. The crime of slander is one that is perpelra ted daily, end it well oceakionally. to make an example of tbe guilty party. '1 he J'hiladel 1,1,1,, Inquirer says with truth, that "The indi vidual who from vicious and malignant mo tives calumniates his neighbor, deserves the severest punishment. He is a curse to socie ty, and ho should be taught a severe lesson. There are others, however, who ara scandal, mongers and slnuderers, in mere idleness and wautonness. They do infinite mischief under the fcrm of jest but tbo spirit or tbeir re marks, the hidden motive, is almost invario. bly eft. Many a life has been sacrificed through the agency of slauder. The sensi tive have been unable to bear np against some vile columny, and thus sickness and death have ensued. Tbe habit is heartless and wicked, and the habitual slanderer should bepoiutodat with tbo finger of scorn, as a miscreont. and a murder of reputation His tongue is full or venom, and his very words are calculated to produeo misrortune and cause anguish."

By an arrangement of Providense, as beau tifol as it is benign, the fruits of tho earth are ripening during the whole summer season from the delightful strawberry on tbe open mg of the spriug, to the luscious peach- of the fall, there is a constant succession of de lightful nliments , made delightfol by that Power whose kindness is in all his works, in order to stimulate ns to tbeir highest cultiva tion, connecting with their use, also, tbe most health-giving influences : and, with the rich profuseness of a well attended fruitery, it is one of the most nnaccouutable things in na ture that so little attention is paid, compar atively speaking, to this great brauch or farming. It is a beanlirul fact, that, while the warmth and exposure of tho sun tend to billiausnoss and fevers, the Iree nse of fruits and berries contoiact their tendency. Artificial acids are found to promote the separation or the bilo Trom tho blood with great mildness and certainty. This led to the supposition that the natural acids, as contained in fruits and berries, might be as available, and being more folatable, would necessarily be preforred. Ixperimont has verified tbe theory j within a late period, medical writers have suggested the use of fresb, ripe, perfect raw fruits, as a reliablo remedy in the diarrhuas of tho sum mer. How strongly tho appetite yearns for a pickle, when nothing else can bo relished, is in the experience of most of ns. It is tbo in stinct of oaturo pointing to a core. Tbe want or a natural appetite is the result or tho bile not being separated with the blood ; and if not remedied, fever is inevitable, frem the slightest grades to that of billious, congestive and yellow. "Fruits are cooling," ia a by word, tbe truth of which has forced itself on the commonest observers. But why they are so they had not tbe time, opportunity or in clination to inquire into. Tbe reason is, tha acid of the fruit stimulates tbe liver into great activity in separating tho bile from tbe blood, which is its proper work, the result of which is, the bowols become free, the pores of the skin are opened. Under such circumstances, fever and want of appetfle ara impossible, now to ess rrti-iTs. To derive, Trom the 'employment of fruits and berries, all that healthful and nutritive effect which belongs to their nature, wo should 1st. Uso fruits that aro ripe, fresh, per foct, raw. 2d Thoy should be nscd in their natural state, without sugar, cream, milk, or any other item of food or drink. 3d. Fruits havo their bost efloct when used in the early part of the day ; hence we do not advise their employment at a later hour than the middle of the afternoon ; not that, if perfect and ripe, they may not be eat en largely by themselves, within two boars of bedtime, with advantage ; bnt if tbe sour ness of decay should happen to taint them, or any other liquor should inadvertently be largely drank afterwards, even cold water, acidity of tho whole mass may follow, result ing in a night of distress. So it is better not to run the risk. To derive a more decided medical effect, fruits should be largely eaten soon after ris ing, ill thn morning, and about midway, be tweon breakfast and dinner. An incalculable amount of sicknoss and suffering would be prevented every year, if the whole class of desserts were swept from our tables during summer, and fresh, ripe, perfect fruitB and berries were substituted ; while the amount or motley that would be saved thereby, at tbe Now York prices or fruits, would, in some families, amount to ronny dollars, enough to educate an orphan child, or support a colporter a whole year, in somo regious of our country. llall't Journal V Health.

To Secure room In a crowd tarry a paint pot in each hand. farmer's bailment Salting Pork; It is important to hove the pork well cool ed before salting. And it should not remain onsalted very long arter cooling. It should never be allowed to freeze. 1 1 should always have a great supply of salt, and of the stron gest quality, and brine should be made and poured into the barrel. For it nothing but water is put in with the salt tho pork may bo injured before the salt is melted enoagh to make good brino. Tbe meat should havo a weight upon it, to keep it under tbe brine ; for if pieces of meat are permitted to rise abovo the brine, and re maiu there for any considerable time, they will bo tainted, and will not taste sweet, a a well-salted meat always will, A wooden cover is often CS6J to keep thn meat under tho brine, but a stone cover is better, A holo may be drilled in a stone cover and a handle icsorted at a very small cost. In regard to tho scum that our correspon dent speaks of we say that standing pools of water, either salt or fresh, will have a scunt on them. Ayitation is the remedy which na ture provides. The icean is agitated to keep it pure, and agitation, coupled with Bait, i offectua'. Ponds have imptiro water and why ? Ponds ol small dimensions are not agitated enough. As a general rule, the larger tho poud or lake the purer will be tha water and more free from scum. Running brooks have purer water than ponds, because in running the water mingles with the atmosphere the grand purifier or all things. Motion, in streams of water, brings all tho foul or riley matter ia contact with the other matter on the bank that has as affinity for it, so that a long brook may run itself pure, though it may have been affected with filthy matter near its source. Agitation of the pork barrel daily will haro the effect of preventing the accumulation of scum on tbe surface ; bat if ibis is uot conve nient, tho white surface may be skimmed off us soon as it rises. It is quite important to every family to have good salt pork. It is the very cheapest moat that wo can procure, and for cooking vegetables it is tbo best that is usod. It uet-ds no butter to enrich it, but it enriches ull with which it comes in contact. Farmers should not fail to have a supply of pork in the cellar. Thon, if the butchor forgets to come, there will be something for dinner. J-lrchanye. i I Ji j. - s s II Recipes a Ai.tu to IIarpbr Cardi.rs. AsaM.
