Main street, Milwaukee, last autumn, in a brown study upon some obstruce subject, bis vision horizontal and vacant, his step rapid and care less, which just as be had forded one of the cross streets and bad lifted one foot to place it upon the curbstone, a big but cowardly yellow dog came sweeping~aiong, followed by a black animal |of the same speciesi The yellow dog whizzed past him, but the black specimen, ob livious to all things but the object of pursuit, as every dog should be on such an occasion, and, possibly, somewhat under the control of his own momemtum, struck Kelley’s perpen dicular !leg while the other was walking, and knocked it out from under him. My friend went down instanter. His glossy beaver bounced upon the pavement, and continued its journey. Spectacles danced jingling; into the -gutter, while bis shawl stuck against a shop- like a paper pellet,on ft wall. Kellay'gathered himself together, packed him self up,; and looked after the dog who had done the mischief, expecting to find hitn “hove to ” in caniip dismay at the accident be had caused ; but, to! his otter astonishment, the animal seemed ias regardless of his equilibrium as of any trivial matter, and was making after the aforesaid yellow dog at as great - speed as though be bad not tipped over the best fellow in 'Wisconsin.

It was so spontaneous, so charmingly musical! was so suddenly checked, and had withal so good a cause, that Kelley could scarcely; be angry or even disconcerted. When the gentleman bad recovered from bis surprise* at the heedlessness of the quadruped, he bethought him of the music. There were half-a dozen ladies in view; but by a trigo nometrical calculation he reached the conclu sion that the laugh most have come from either a dainty; little blue hat with delicate, straw colored 'trimmings, or a decidedly sober and ancient lone —the two being in junction. Of coarse lie fastened upon the hOue hat; Tor never since thC flood did a grave, unfashionable bon net giveiout such gushing laughter as that. . Kelley was not a city gentleman— not be.— He was a squire in a-rural; town; a leader of town affairs. A man ;sf mark, to whom the village politicians looked for shrewdest coun sels, on fvhom abused people llooked for.advice and redness, in whose hands friendless widows put the management of their estates, sure that all yvould be done for them and thedittle* or phans that tact, fidelity, and a warm heart could accomplish. ■ The b&ie hat was a city bat, and the brown hair it covered, together with the hazel eyes that sparkled in front of it, were of city growth. But the sober brown bonnet was a rural affair, and the lady under it was a rural aunt of gOod dimensions, both in person &d heart.; Before the catastrophe Which brought out the laugh ter, the hunt' was listening attentively to the little lady’s very eager request that she would try and procure her a school near her' country home; dft® l the accident the brown bonnet gave a very appropriate and impressive lecture on the impropriety of laughing out that way, “ when the street was full of folks.” [. »-i “ Why*, who could help it, auntie ? Did yon ever see anything so funny? Laugh! 1 didn’t laugh—it laughed itself. O dear,” and then the little-figure trembled from hat to slipper under the shaking of suppressed’nierlriment. j Indeed, to escape; another lecture,; she had to cover lips, nose, anil eyes almost in scented linen bambric. see, said the little blue hat, recujrring-to the former topic, “father isn’t rich, indeed I don’t think he is as well ‘off as he seems! to be,; and the family is large—all girls, tooj just a bill of expense you know, and I don’t lake to have, father furnish mle -music lessons, dny longer, for I know he can’t afford it.

A Jl BBIIBDY FOB DULL EVEJJUTGS, The Springfield Republican has a side-talk with a young man who complained of the dull ness of that interior town. Time-bung heavily on his hands; he knew not what to do of an evening, and was making himself quite miser able about it. He bad just come up from one of the subterranean saloons, where be had been spending an hour merely because he did not know whore else, to go or what do. The entertainment there was evidently not qnite to his-taste, - The stale and dirty jokes bad become insipid, and the hot and foul air, reeking with bad tobacco and worse liquor, bad produced stupidity and a dull ache and sense of weari ness all over. He bad come out on the street for a breath of fresh air, and its inspiration re ally wished he had better use fpr his evenings than to saunter from one saloon to another, seeing everywhere the same style of character and hearing the same, profane and corrupting talk. H«i did not look like a stupid or dirty fellow. There was a fire of intellect in his eye and the glow of good nature on his cheek, and every way he seemed above the associations into which be had fallen. A single winter’s education in the saloons may essentially change him, and he may become as listless, as doll-eyed and jaundiced by spring as the majority of his associates, and have as little sense left of the true use and enjoyment of life, as a blind old horse in s, treadmill. He is worth saving and worth making something of, if he would only think so in time to do it. There are three hours out of the twenty-four at his absolute command, and he might make them four without robbing his body of any nec essary rest or recreation—and nil this time be throws away, because he thinks he does not know what to do with it. No, it is worse than that; if these hours were spent in sleep they would be ibarmless, but as now used they only bring loss of .health, loss of self-respect, loss of manly ambition to do and to be something in the world, and general degradation of body and mind. Life is too short for such base uses. Let him consider what he might do with him self in these three or four hours daily, now worse than lost. He has bad but a small amount of “ schooling,” and was too eager for sport to make much of tbat little, and he does not know any too much for a man who is to take the high position of an independent Ameri can sovereign. He is now old enough to ap preciate the value of knowledge, and to accu mulate it rapidly if he sets himself about it with, a will. If he should fall into the.hands of a parliamenlary committee, such as they have in England to investigate the moral and intellec tual condition of the working classes, we fear he would make but a poor show in the report. ] It w'ould not be very agrocable to biro to see j himself described by himself before the civil ized world, something after this fashion: “A. B. is eighteen years old, drives a team and docs odd jobs ; wages small; don’t know as h« ex pects to rise much ; not much taste for reading; has heard of science, and thinks Tom ileenan understands it; don’t profess to be much on science himself; has heard of geometry, be lieves it is used in a lumber yard, but don’t know what they do with it; can’t say certainly whether a triangle is round pr square, and don’t j see as it is an object to know; understands what astronomy is because the girls used to re cite it at school, but thinks ITno use to bother about the moon and stars ; they can take care of tbemselves ; has beard of the constitution of the United - States ; don’t know what it is about,- but goes it strong for the Uniob—thinks learn ing a very good thing for schoolmasters and lawyers, but has no time for it and shouldn’t know how to go at it if he had ; goes to church , occasionally to please his mother; likes the singing first rate, and goes to sleep regularly in the sermon, because he don’t understand it ; apd knows it isn’t meant for him; and on the. ; whole don’t consider it anybody’s business hoys he spends his time, and only wishes there waf some fon-a-going evenings.” t It may not be worth while to give advice ti A. 8., but we are quite sure that if he will sil down and make out a list of things he would like to know, and which it would be useful to him to know, or get an intelligent friend to do it for him, and then set himself to work in get ting just the knowledge that will fit him .to) live and take a respectable stand among men, be will soon find his evenings passing pleasantly, and will no longer complain that time hangs heavily and there is too large a supply of the article, but will wish that the long winter eve nings lasted all the year round. Three houtfs in a day amount to about fifty-five' days of ten hours each in six months, and a man can learn a considerable amount in that time. Let the young men who find their evenings | Hull and miserable, try it and see. The Fiintr.—The family circle is God’s blessed ordinance, and is the sweetest; the hap piest, and the most hallowed spot on , earth.— It is the nursery of affection, of friendship, and of virtue ; the place where these ties of mutual dependence and help, are first formed, which, in their expanded states, united human and according to the manner in which the rights, of the family circle are enjoyed, its diities dis charged, and.its'troe benefits realized,} are the moral character, the stability, and the gran deur of a country. I Lord Shaftsbury recently stated as the result of bis personal investigation, that “of all the adult male criminals in London, not two in ■ a hundred who live an honest life up to the age of twenty, afterward enter upon a course" of crime,” and "that “almost all who enter .'upon-; such a,course, do so between the ages of eight and sixteen.” J . • IT DOESN’T MAKE IT SO. Suppose, for instance, you suppose That black is white—that test is slow— That every wind is mild that blows. It really doesn’t make it so. Suppose, again, that you suppose You’ll meet good things where’er you go— That every sweet comes from the rose. It really doesn't make it so. Suppose, once more, that yon suppose All blisses from one fountain flow— That ail the belles are blessed with beaux, It really doesn’t make it so. Suppose, in short, that you suppose Your brigh t-eyed love can’t say you " No”— That she despises all*your foes, It really doesn’t make it so. PEOPLE WE CAST DISPENSE WITH; Does any enterprising individual wish to form a colony at the North Pole, or Central Africa, or any such far. off place, where the voyagers will he warranted never to come back again If go, we can point out quite a cargo whose export would never, be lamented over by their native land. We are net sore- but gov ernment would pay their entire expenses, to get rid of them finally and forever. Hera is a list of the most promising: The man who “ cant live within his salary,” and is always wanting to borrow money, but who wears as fine broadcloth and expensive sleeve buttons as bis millionaire employer. The woman who brings up her daughters op a diet of curl papers and dancing school, and who “ cannot account for Anna Maria’s con duct” when she elopes with a penniless dry goods clerk! . The man who had rather boy a new coat (on credit) and cheat the tailor than be degraded by a neat patch on bis elbows. 1 The woman whose stocking-toes resemble a enllendar in their vintilating conveniences, but who considers » nicely executed darn in the skirt of a dress to be vulgar beyond indu rance ! The man who is always “making op his mind” who answers every question with, “Wal, I don’t exactly know I” and stands, with his hands in his pockets, until it is too late to do anything else with them! The woman who always has to stop and sew on her bonnet strings when she is going any where—who is universally behind hand—who is too late at church, too late at market, too late to get her railroad ticket, and invariably ar rives at the steamboat landing just three sec oads after the plank has been taken up I The man who can’t afford to subscribe for Tbb Agitator, but who always sends little Zekiel over to his neighbor’s bouse to borrow' it, twenty minutes after the mail comes in 1 The young lady who never can remember the minister’s text at church, but who makes the hair of her dear particular friend stand upright with a repetition of the horrors she has de voured in her last yellow covered romance. The man who “ no faculty to Work,” but has an amazing faculty in attending political meetings, standing on street corners, and run ning after fire companies, i The woman who can’t get a minute’s time to mend the girls’ aprons and the boys’ jackets, and who spends her leisure in leaning bat of the window, on her elbows, atfd heariDg about “that dreadful murder” from her next door neighbor, while the children are paddling in the wash tub, and the soup burning in the din ner pot. We could meptiona good many others—but these will serve as a pretty fair sample. We can spare them just as well as not—in fact we would offer a reasonable premium fo any one s who would warrant their non return. Perhaps they might become useful members of society in the Fejee Islands. They certainly never will here I A DROP OP INK. - This' is a queen’s first signature to a death warrant, where tears tried to blanch the fatal blackness ’of the dooming ink; of a traitor’s adhesion to a deed of rebellion written in gall; of a forger's trembling imitation of another’s writing, where each letter took the shape of gallows; of a lover’s passionate proposal, writ ten in fire ; of a proud girl’s refusal, written in ioe; of a mother’s dying expostulation to u way ward son, written in her heart’s blood; of an indignant father’s disinheriting curse on his first born, black with the last color of the gray hairs which shall go down in sorrow to the grave; think of these and of all the other im passioned writings to which every hour gives birth and what a strangely potent, nretean thing a drop of ink grows to be! Allsfcr the world it is distilling at the behest of men.— Here a despairing prisoner is writing with a rusty nail his dying confession of faith on his damp dungeon.
