Steßrindle.
In Nashvilfej manjTyeara ago, there resid
ed a gentleman of grealltospiialily,
leiic.- and though uneducated,- was possessed
of hard knot sense. GoL W. had beeo elecled
to the Legislature and had also beenJudgeoC
the County Court. ... t'-i
- His elevation, 'however, had made
somewhat pompous,, and he -becarne trty
fond of.using-big words. On fils farttr heSSJd
a large mischevious ox, called “Big Brintjle,"
which frequently broke down bis neighbor’s
fences, and committed other depredattpije,
much to the Colonel’s annoyance.
One morning after breakfast, in priaenco.of
some latge gentlemen who had stayed with
him over night, and were'now on their .way
to town, he (ailed his overseer, and said to
him:
“ Mr. Allen, I desire you to impound Big
Hrindle, in order that I may hear no more
animadversion on his eternal depredations'”
Allen bowed and walked off, sorely puz
zled to know what the Col. meant.
So after Ctj l, W leli for town, he went to
his wife and asked what Col, W. meant by
telling him to “ impound” the ox. ' ,
“ Why," said she “the Col. meant to tell
you to put him in a pen.”
Allen left (to perform the feat, for it was no
inconsiderable one, as the animal was very
wild and vicious, and after a great deal of
trouble and vexation he succeeded.
1 Well,” said he, wiping Ihe perspiration
from his brow, and soliloquizing, *' this is im
pounding it.” Now I’m dead sure the old
Col. will ask me if 1 have impounded Big
Brindle, and I bet I'll puzzle him as bad as
he did me,
The next day the Cot. gave n dinnerparty,
and as he «as not aristocratic, Allen the
overseer, eat down with the company. After
the second or third glass was discussed, the
Col. turned to the overseer, said :
“ Eh, Mr. Allen, did you impound Big
Brindle, sir’”
Allen straightened himself, and looking
around at Ihe company, and said :
“ Yes, I did ; but old Brindle transcended
the impanel of the impound and scalterlo
phisticoted oil over the equanimity of the for
est."
The company burst into an immoderate fit
of laughter, while Ihe Col.’s face reddened
w ith discomfiture.
“ What do you mean by that,sir;” said
“ Why, I mean Colonel,” said Allen, "that
old Brindle being prognosticated with an idea
of the cholery, ripped and tared, snorted and
pawned dirt, jumped Ihe fence, luck to the
woods, and would not be impounded no
how "
This was too much ; the company roared
again, in which Ihe Col. was forced to join,
and in the midst of the laughter, Allen left
the fable, saying to himself as he went “ I
reckon the Col. won’t ask me to impound any
more oxen."
Amelia Simcox unbosoms her wrongs
as follows ; 11 1 married Simcox eight years
ago, at which lime my gowns were fastened
by eight hooks and eyes. Now you will
readily conceive that no woman can hook
and-eye herself. Whilst a spinster, she ob
tains the aid of her sister, cousin, mother or
Betty, ihe maid. When she becomes a mar
ried woman, the hook-nnd-eye duty natural,
ly devolves upon the husband. For Ihe first
year of my marriage, Simcox, like an affec
tionate husband, hook-and-eyed the whole
eight; the second year he somewhat peevish
ly restricted his attention to seven ; the third
to six, the fourth to five, the fifth to four—
and so on decreasing, until this morning—the
eighth anniversary of our wedding—when
you would have-supposed him possessed by
the dearest and fondest recollections, he drop
ped another hook nnd eye, intimating to me
that for Ihe term of his natural life he should
restrict himself to one—tho top one. As I
know you to have a crowd of female readers
I thought it a duly I owed the sex to warn
them, through the medium of your publica
tion, of the craftiness, and, I must say it, the
selfishness of man. They will, I hope, lake
warning by my condition, and ere they enter
into matrimony, stipulate for a due perform
ance of toilette attentions on the part of their
husbands.”
Woman’s Laugh.—A Woman has no
natural grace more bewitching than a sweet
laugh. [i is like the sound or flutes on wa
ter. It leaps from her heart in a clear, spark
ling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as
if bathed in the exhilarating spring. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by her fairy laugh—now here
now there, now lost, now found? We have.
And we are pursuing that wandering voice to
'his day. Sometimes it comes to us in the
midst of care and sorrow, or Irksomeness j
and then we turn away and listen, and hear
it ringing through the room like a silver bell
with power to scare away the ill spirit of the
mind. How much we owe to that sweet
laugh It turns the prose of our life into po
etry, n flings showers of sunshine over the
darksome wood in which we are traveling,
n touches with light even our sleep, which
which is no more the image of death, but is
consumed with dreams that are the shadows
of mortality.— Ex.
Delicate.—The question at a lea-parlv
turning upon the impropriety of one's mix
ing up cakes with a pinch of snuff in her
fingers, fearing some might bo scattered in
the dough, a lad remarked that bo had seen
hit mother mix cokes with a pinch of snuff
in her fingers and not scatter a bit. ‘ * Why,
Billy, rejoined the offended lady, “ how you
do lie I” “ Well, mother, I don't know but
I do,’ innocently replied the urchin, “ I dont
know but you scattered it a very little.”
A few days since, a barber offered a re
ward for instantly removing superfluous hair.
Among the answers was ono forwarded by,a
gentleman in Kingston. We give it—“ CTh
denake to kiss a woman against her will.”
Whenever we drink 100 deeply of pleas
ure, we find a sediment at the bottom which
pollutes and embitters what we realized at
first;
It is an extraordinary fact that those who
got to high words generally use low language.

fjHßftJir EVANS & WATSON.
26 South Fourth Street, Vhlhulelphln,
have had'tho sorest demonstration in the following Ccrtifi
cates, that their manufacture of Salamander Safes has at
length fully warranted the representations which have been
made of them, as rendering an undoubted security against
the terrific clement:
Mttsra Erosit A TTotion —Gents; —It afforda u« tho highest
satisfaction to state to yon, tlmt owing to tho very protective
qualities of two of thu Salamander Safes which wo purchased
of yon some few months since, wc saved a large portion ofortr
Jewelry, Books, Papers, Ac., exposed to the cnlomitoos fire in
Ranstoad Place, on tho morning of the lllh Inst.
When we reflect that these Safes were located in the fourth
story of tbo building wo occupied, and that they fell subse
quently into a heap of burning mins, whore the vast concen
tration of heat caused the braes plates to melt, we cannot but
regard the preservation of the valuable contents as most con
vincing proof of tho great security afforded by your Safes.
We shall toko much pleasure in recommending them to men
of business as a sure reliance against fire,
Ueoiwe W. Simons A Bno.
Mtttrt Kvaris <£• Wattrm —I have to offer you my testimony
in favor of tho great security afforded to my entire stock of
Jewelry, books, papers, Ac., anting the recent disastrous con
flagration In Kanstoad place, from the fact tlmt thosamo yere
contained In two of thu Salamander Safes manufactured by
vou. Having fallen from tho filth story of thu Artisan Build
ing, where tliuy were nreviously placed and exposed to a vast
heat for a long time, the preservation of th valuable deposits
seemed to every ono who witnessed tho opening and interior
examination, a matter of profound astonishment.
To all who may require a perfect protection from the rava
ges of fire, I shall not hesitate to recommend (he use of your
Safes, as 1 consider they have now undcrgoiiethc most tr> tug
tot. N. E. Morgan.
Philadelphia, April 14,1856
Mrtsrt £rant dS TTafion—Gertiemen—No doubt you will bo
deeply gratified to learn the good condition in wldch I discov
ered my book, policy of insurance, certificates of stock, and
other valuable documents, when on Friday last 1 opened the
safu made by your firm.
With my knowledge of Us great exposure, both to the Inten
sity of the heat from so hot a fire ns that which destroyed
tho Artisan building, as also from the form of the fall frofil
its former elevated position in tbo third story. I could enter
tain bnt slender hopes prior to its interior Inspection, that
thu contents which I once so highly prized would ever bo of
any service to me, but as these fears arc now happily re
moved, 1 feel it only due to say to yon, that I cun henceforth
recommend tho use of your Safes to all who may wish to feel
a confidence in the perfect security which such means provi
des against so frightful an element.

Fisher A Bro., and Edward Realm

To the public we would simply say, that, during die Iwir

drove a single saw to saw rive thousand ana one
hundred feet of while pine lumber ? 4100 feel «
which was one inch in thickness, 400 feel 2 inches
thick, 500 feet-1 $ indies thick. This Wheel used &
very small quantity of water, only discharging about
90 square inches and with about \\\ feet head and
fall of water while performing the above. These
Wheels ore well adapted to the propelling of all kind*
of Machinery driven by Water power. They arc
very simple and substantial in their construction,
and will do from one third to one naif more wort:
than any other Iron Water Wheel in operation in
this vicinity with which they are acquainted. They
offer for sale on very liberal terms the patent ngDt
