illiMEMBUANCES. 'Oft M tho hour when evening throws Its gathering shades o'er vale and hill, While half the scene In .twilight glow, And half in sun-light glories still Tho thought of all thotYre have been, And hoped and feared in life's long way Remembrances of joy and pain, Come mingling with tho Close of day. The distant scene of youth's bright dream, The smiling green, the rustling tree; Tho murmur ofthe grass-fringed stream, The "bounding of the torrent free The friend, whose tender voice no moro Shall sweetly thrill tho listening car, The glow that Love's firei vision wore, And disappointment's pangs are here. "lut soft o'er each reviving sccno Tho chastening hues of memory spread; Aud smiling each dark thought between, Hope softens every tear we shed O thus, when Death's long night comes en, Atri its dark shades around me lie, May parting beams from Memory's sun Blend softly in my evening sky! ECCENTRIC HOSPITALITY. During the late American war a soldier who had been wounded and honorably discharged, (but perhaps not paid) being destitute, knocked at the door of an Irish farmer, when the following dialogue ensu ed: Patrick. And who are you nowT Soldier. My name is John Wilson. Pat. And where are you going from, John Wilson. Soldier. From the American army at Eric, Sir. TPat. And what do you want here? Soldier. I want shelter to night, will "you permit me to spread my blanket on your floor and sleep to night? Pat. D 1 take if I do. John Wilson that's flat. Soldier. On the kitchen floor, Sir? Pat. Not I, by the Hill o' Howth that's flat. Af Soldier. Jh your stable then? Pat. I will hot do that eithei that's flat. Soldier. I am dying with hunger; give me but a bone and a crust, I ask no more. Pat. I will not that's flat. Soldier Give mo some water to quench my thirst, I beg of you. Pat. Beg and be hanged, 111 do no such thing that's flat. Soldier. Sir, 1 have been fighting to sc cure the blessings you enjoy; I have con tributed to tho glory and welfare of the country which has so hospitably received .your and can you so inhospitably reject me from your house? Pat. Reject you? Who talked a word about rejectingyou? May be I am not the scurvy spalpeen you take me to be, John Wilson. You asked me to let you lid on my floor, my kitchen floor, or in my sta ble; now, by the powers, do you think I'd let a perfect stranger do that when I have half a doien soft feather beds all empty? No, by the Hill o'Howth, John that's flat. In the second place you were dying tvith hungcr and wanted a bone and a crust to eat. Now, honey, do you think I'd feed a hungry man with bones and crust, when my yard is full of fat pullets and pigs? No, by tho powers, not Ithat's flat. In the third place, you asked me for some simple water to quench your thirst. Now, as my water is none of the best, I never give it to a poor traveller without mixing it with plenty of wine, brandy, whiskey or something else wholesoirie or cooling. Come into the ouse, my honey; you shall have tho best supper and break fast that my farm can supply, which thank the Lord, is none of the worst; you shall drink as much water as you please, provi--ded you mix it with plenty of wine or spir its, and provided you prefer it. Come in my hearty, come in, and feel yourself at heme. It shall never be said that Patrick O'Flaherty treated a man scurvily who has been fighting for the dear country which gave him protection that's flat? Sympathies. No fact displays in more striking manner the wonderful mechanism of the human frame, than tho sympathies manifested in the involuntary affections of persons situated near each other. The act of groping is diffused round a company as if by an invisible electric chain connecting their breasts and jaws. Sighing equally infections and one no sooner draws his broath, for a time suspended by deep medi tation on .some object of interest, or atten tion to some profoundly absorbing1 tale, than all the other listeners dr meditators are' thrown into simultaneous exhibitions of the eapacity of their lungs. "Yawning and sometimes vomiting are propagated by sym pathy, and some people of delicate fibres at the presence of a spectacle of misery, have felt pain in tlib same parts of their own bodies that were diseased or mangled in the other." So saya Darwin, the man who prophecicd the era of steamboat and rail roads, The case is related in which a lady be came gibbous on gazing intensely at a humbasked man, and the like on which a student caught the smallpox from turning over the leaves of a book which treated of it, are scarcely ideal. Who has not known instances where a female of delicate frame has been thown into convulsion on witness ing the agonies of a person suffering under some severe bodily injury? Where the spectacle of a woman in hystbrics has pro duced a corresponding affection in one that merely looked on? Persons faint at wit nessing the operation of blooding in anoth er, as if the blood were drawing from their own veins. The sight of one on tin point of falling from a height, receiving a wound, or in danger of being crushed by a vehicle, will draw an exclamation from every breast. Even wit and silence arceoritacious. Tears certainly are. No one can behold the eyes ofa person wet with tears, without finding his own filling irresistibly with the sym pathetic dew. We have observed this frequently in a hall where something par ticularly moveitig was uttered by the orator. Some apparently insensible to the eloquence or the speaker, on turningthir looks towards their neighbors, would instantly become affected with the prevailing laziness and obscurity of vision, until by propagation it became universal. There is no infection less to be shunned than this. It is a spark of childhood left in the human breast, which evinces our adaption to a higher and purer state of existance. Vomiting sympathetically affects the sto machs of the beholders, and each one by imperceptible degrees finds his ribs to be drawn in as if even devils were engaged in pulling at the diaphram. Fear is obviously infectious, and when a single individual in a regiment of an army becomes seized with a the inclination in the whole corps to make the best Use of thei legs in aretrogiate direc tion is irresistibly overcoming; arms and ammunition aro unanimously lumped and each one takes to his lendo achillis, as if its well trained vigour was his only reli ance. Ready Wit. As this is the season when toasts, as plenty as blackberries,' we ate reminded of a story, very well told by a military friend of ours. During the last war with England, a young officer belong ing to the Northern army was sent with a flag of truce to the nearest British post, and while there was invited to dine with the officers of the Regiment. After the wine had circulated freely, a young British officer requested permission to propose a toast, which the Colonel granted, and forth with gave "The President of the United States, dead or alive." The Company drank their wine in si lence, which was broken by the Ameri can's request to return the compliment, when he offered 'The Prince Regent, drunk or sober!" The British cockerel was inclined to quarrel but received a seveic reproof from his Colonel for having offered the first toast, and the young American was treated with politeness during his visit.

C. Gil christ, Agent, stating that the Susquchannah Boat Line would carry passengers In less time than the Mail Stage which is not the fact. It will be un derstood that the Boat leaves Harrisburg one day before the Stage; yet we have taken Passengers through to Wilkcsbarre in timo for the Montrose Btages, notwithstanding the tardy manner in which the mail is brought from Harrisburg to us at Nor thumberland. If any other persons had the convey ance of the mails from Harrisburg to Northumber land than those connected with the floats, I would engage to start at the same hour with the Boat at Harrisburg, and deliver the mail and the parscngers TWELVE HOURS sooner than the Boat Line possibly can do it. When the Company runs a stage from Northum berland to Wilkcsbarre, the mail can arrive at Nor thumberland from Harrisburg by 1 1 o'clock, A. M.; but when the Boat runs above, they then keep back tho stage at Northumberland Until 4 o'clock P. M. and sometimes as late as 7 o'clock, P. M. These are facts, which, if the Post Master General is not aware of, it is time he was mado acquainted with them. (Cjvlny passengers wishing to take the stage at Northumberland, to go through to Montrose, will be tuken on in time to secure seats in the Montrose stage, notwithstanding the delay of the Opposition in arriving at Northumberland provided they fix upon a regular time for starting.
