Sir Josiah’s tract, can readily be imagined. -They may have been “pure and unoorrupt,” but even for this we have only the shippers’ warranty, and ad mitting its- anthenticity and force, one would think that even Virginia vanity and exaggera tion could hardly .make this the ground for aris tocratic pretensions. Of ootirse,- among so many immigrants there were.somemen of good families; these are de soribed'by Hildreth as “vagabond gentlemen, unaccustomed to labor,, and disdainful of it, with three or four bankrupt London jewelers* goldsmiths tind refiners, sent out to seek for mines." And again, .he speaks of another nor cession to-the'colony, os “poor gentlemen, in dolent, dissolute and insubordinate, or else bro ken down tradesmen, “fitter to breed a riot than tO' found a colony? "' Sooth Carolina was people extent in the same, way with the dregs rious nationalities, Dutch, Scotch,'lrish, an very ■ They are styled in the chron icles of the' time,' tdow bred people"—and their early legislation and practices were what might he expected from such an. imlgration ; piracy flourished upon the water and'repudiation .upon the : “sacred soiF' of the State which boasts its descent from such ancestors. 1 la some of the publications relating to the colonies is a list of the convicts sept over among the founders of Virginia. T7e have not the time to look it up ; but some of our readers may have the' cariosity to find it, and to see how many names that have lately'been distih gaisbed for crimes against the government, had 'their origin among the unwilling fathers of the State. Few of them will probably be found connected with so respectable ■ an offence ais treason, for in the colonial days a convicted traitor was punished more severely even than by transportation to Virginia; but we doubt not that many a proud sohof the chivalry who has made himself conspicuous in stealing guns, obstructing railroads, bafttingjtridges, and aim-: ilar acts of Southern patriotism, can trace back fo some celebrated pickpocket, or some eminent London thief, the-lineage; “Whose ancient but ignoble blood Has flown through scoundrels over since the flood." These' extractsrand records apply only to Eastern Virginia. 'Western Virginia was set-; tied long after, and from the North' and by for eign immigration. Neither by their ancestry nor by tbeir present conduct bare tbo peoplepf tha'f part of the State earned the peculiar, titles to distinction' upon which the slavesbolders of Eastern Virginia pride themselves. Their fath ers believed, da they believe, that stealing was not among tbe virtues, and that something more than idleness and ignorance were necessary to the character of a gentleman., ' ’ ‘ There is one plain reason ‘why the Southern men of gentle manners and of courteous breed ing-r-and. there are many such—make so marked and favorable ah impression. A Soutb 'ern gentleman, born to fortune, educated: at Yale or Harvard; accustomed all his life to .lib eral pursuits and honorable, employ men ts.pre sents a great contrast to a specimen of what they call the “poor whites,” and the negroes call “white trash," born to'ignorance, unable to read or write, with ho higher ambition—and that never gratified—than" to own a “nigger," and no other accomplishment than chewing tot bacco and shooting at a mark. But the con trast between a Northern man of-the same birth, .education! fortuhe and pursuits; and a mechan ic educated at'our free schools, perhaps a grad uate of the high school; is by no means the same. The positive position may be the same, but the difference in the relative position is im mense ; and it is’ by tbeir relative, not their positive positiotv that they ai|e estimated.— Prosidence Journal.

They grabbed. andj caught only to find their efforts futile; No sooner would the prize appear to be won than it was lost The difficulty of the capture wasienhonoed by its being allowable only to hold the animal by his' unctoous appendage—-any other method being ruled out. The feat appeared impossible; but one man sublimely, rose, whose, intellect was adequate to the. performance of the feat. He showed hitnslF, to be the very Napoleon of pig chasers. He soared supreme jat the arduous ness of the task, and watching an opportunity, threw himself bodily upon ithe victim, and seized bis tail between hia teeth.

Smith and his wife are’at.dagr gew’poihts. They were lovingly married,;and ■lived many years happily; albeit..ibpit.infsc tions have beenjcooling down pretty steadily of late. , The quarrel grew, out of a differeqceqf 'character, which has itself .grown up gradually t eyer-since marriage, in this, wise.- Smith's wife had a tame crow when she was a bride. It is ah almost immortal, and quite an itomqr r al bird, and in| fact she was at first almost' ashamed of it, Smith had no particular an*; ! tipatby to tame crows, indeed be. bad once pos sessed one himself, bpthaying set qp house-' keeping he did not,, for his own part, think | it beat, if it were’ only for the" appearance of the'thing, to harbor any pet of bad or doubtful morale. Still fjis wife might do as she pleased, on her own private account. She, pleased to keep her crowJand as it grew more and mote cunning and thievish she' grow more and more attached to it from year to' year. ■ The posses sion wrought ajchange in bencharaeter, for the bird became tv little Golconda to her, saving her the trouble of even shopping for Jewelry, while its plunder,made her glow with brilliants, like the Queen of Sheba. Smith is a ihigbly,, respectable man, of the ■•'achates domestic-broils.worse than any- ever been decided about ~~—that there should be So his wife’ ionsiderable y'& thing else. ... anything, it Be nothing of the!sort in his faS. v .^_. bas always had;hef own way about t crow, and, qn its account, about everything else till very lately., At last, to the great annoy ance of SmithJ she thought of nothing but the tame crow and its interests, which must be mixed up with everything Smith had or did.— The neighbors began ,to wink and maliciously at Smith, aijd to make opprobrious remarks'. He was prettily orow-pecked and ail that, Tfaishe bore with great fortitude and dignity, but could not conceal-from himself that if matters wet t on in this way innch longer, he would become not only a sad antf forlorn laugh ing-stock, but a miserable appendage of .hie wife’s tame crow, and perhaps dependent on its mean immorality for his daily bread. So. as-, serting'bis manhood, be calmly told Mrs. Smith, one frosty November morning, that she. must keep her dusky' pet within her own private apartments, and not allow it to flap a wing in his office or ih the parlor, or be in anyway mixed up with tbe family affairs. He could hot be responsible for it. ! Presto I quicker than thought she drew a dirk-knife and.gave him a stab, and theri has been open war in the house ever since. | r Seeing this wife’s characi was due entin crow, i* is a Hi seize the first { the crow's cat do something! peradventure ! as tbe first ste ital authority] to do it, the tji rob her of her ing else, the g Such were thaf virago, as she hilled stilettof which her crow bad stolen for her, meanwhije giving directions in the kitchen to have strychnine put info the, family pies.— Cer lajaW not,[said the sublimely-aroused Smith, I am not jighjting for the crow or about,the crow fl at all. | No, madam, your crow is quite safe'from me Where it belongs, as I have always tftlil you, and-to show you my perfect good faith 'and magnanimity,. iffthe bird should fly nway or get so cunning.as to exercise its pecu liar, art onlyf on Its,own account, I will help you recover if and, its-usefulness. .But I have taken this rtid to 1 make you. a peaceful and loyal wife, aid teach jou.that yotu must npt sacrifice my rights and interests to this pet of yours. That sort of wife you shall ,bg,,or,be whipped will in less.than an-inch of your pre cious life. Smith is a cool and resolute man, and likely to' he as goodj as his.wlrd, but since bis .wife is sure to be tbp same sort of woman as long as she keeps that tame, crow, and give, him the same cause for a repetition of the same disci pline, bis goijd sense is a little- doubtful. If he were as shrewd as he is brave and generous, he would ho more'think, of bringing his wife' to terms without putting the tame crow from beyond, her -peach, than he would of sobering his, kind map Jerry, bent on a spree, without clearing his pockets of bottled grog. The cause that brought[on the quarrel, if it continues in healthy activity, will destroy any peace that may 'succeed it. , To make any two people friends; it jsjwell first to abolish whatever nec essarily makes them enemies. If Mr. Smith thinks that in his case the end cannot sanctify the means, let him give up the end, and at once knock underlie-Mrs. Smith and her tame crow. Everybody, out of Smith’s family,-thinks the means needn’t wait for the end to sanctify it, but will, be vben Job took up Lis parable. - In short, nature's pendulum has never altered its vibrations.' “ None df jnur unkind reflections, 1 ' a* the did maid said to the leaking glass.

Daring the last war with Great Britain a ■very remarkablecircumstanoe occurred-in con nection •with tbe invasion of Canada; Accom pany pf .Kentucky volunteers.destmed forShelr iby's army had thoilr rendezvous at Harro'daburg, ‘jn Kentucky,'and formed a sort of .nucleua or 'rallying paint’iof the country. When they •piarched from Hnrrodsburg towards the Ohio ■river, having got a mile or two on their way, they ,noticed two pigs fighting, and delayed their-march to sea it out. After they bad re: isumed their march, the, pig that bad been the victor in the contest, waa.ohscrved to follow them. At night, when they encamped, thopig found a-shelter near, and baited also, .the nest day tbe pig npoojnpanied the troops as be fore ; and thus it marched every halted every night-with the soldiers, or near -them.— When they came opposite Cincinnati at which place the troops were to cross the Ohio in a fer ryboat, the pig on getting to the water’s edge, promptly plunged in and swam across, and then waited on the other side until thewhole.cortege crossed over, and then renewed.its post on one side of the moving column. Thus the animal , kept up With the troops until they crossed the State of Ohio and reached Lake Erie. - On the journey, as tbe men grew familiar with their comrade, it became, a pet, receiving a share pf tbe rations issued to the soldiers, and, destitute of provisions as the troopsfound themselves' at times,.no one thought of putting the knife to the throat of their fellow soldier. •, What, they bad was shared, and if tbe pig fpred scanty .as st at times, it still grunts on, and mani- j latriotism in its own lineaa-the id in theirs. At the' | feats asnf .bipeds It accoropnn margin of the Lake she em troops and went as far as-Saif Islan when offered a passage over into Canada she ob stinately refused to embark, a second time,— Some of the men attributed her conduct to con stitutional scruples, and observed that she knew it was contrary to.the Constitution to.force a military pig over the, line. ' She' therefore, had leave to remain. After the campaign had closed, the troops re-crossed the Lake, having left some of. theij horses on the American side. As soon as the Una was formed, te'the great surprise of the troops, there was the s pig on the right of the line, ready to resume her march with the rest By this time the winter frost had set in, ana the animal suffered greatly op the homeward march. She .made out however to reach Slaya vUle, where the troops repressed the Ohio riv er. There she gave out itncl was placed in trus ty bands by Gov. Shelby, and finally taken to the Governor’s bouse, where she passed the rest of her days in eaae anJ indolence. There are many in Kentucky who can now attest the truth of this remarkable story. - A Literal “Marriage op Convenience. ’ — The Observafeur Beige .tells the following capi ta! story, which if not new is still old enough to bear reviving, especially at a season when office-seekers are so pat to their mettle that no hint of methods can be thrown away: 1 “The grandfather of the present King of Holland one day received a, visit from a young man who requested to be appointed as successor to a notary deceased on the previous day. The King said: • The notary baa left- nothing for his widow, with the exception of some half dozen children to bring up; the person who succeeds to the office must do something, for her. There was. a candidate here some min utes before you came who ■ offered her a pen sion of four hundred francs a year, which'is very little.' ‘ I will give her four hundred florins, sire.' 'Well v?e shaft see. . . Coma again in a week.’ The young ifaan was.punc tual to bis appointment. ‘lt appears,’ said the king, ‘ that the connection is a good one; your competitor now promises to give the widow five "hundred florins a year,’ ‘ Well, sire, I will give six hundred florins.’ Come again in a week; be who makes the most liberal offer shall have the .office.! At the third audience ,the other competitor had to eight hund red florins, but cup, young man-.declared that such generosity would bo ruinous, and that he could not offer so. much. , VI. venture, however, to ask your Mqjesty to grant me the.,favor of suspending.your decision for a week Ipnger.' . “ The delay was granted, but when thft young man camp, for - the fourth time, his Majesty copld pot help saying, with some impatience: * It is useless, sir, to say anyfhing mere.- Your rival has not hesitated to offer a pension of a thousand florins ; will you do as much for the widow ?! ‘ I beg your pardon, sire, I will do more ; lam about to marry her. Here ft her written consent.’. King William was so much diverted with this place-hunting expedient that be determined the Queen should immediately chare bis amusement, and the. hero of the ad venture accordingly had the honor of relating aft the particulars' to their majesties, who laughed most heartily at the story. This model place-hunter afterwards became an exceedingly successful mad in bis business." - A Pet Lamb Astonishes the Secessionists. —The Richmond papers tell ps of a Fire Zou ave who was caught and taken to Fairfax.— When carried before Beauregard, ha manifested iiis contempt fur that chieftain by putting bis thumb to his noso and gyrating his fingers.
