At the time when the announcement of the feet was made, a member of the Methodist Church, residing within the range of one the circuits where he had preached for years, having some business to transact with one of his neighbors, got on his horse, and having to puss by the house of brother I'. on his road, concluded to "pass a joke off." Now broth er P. had been all the days of his manhood a zealous, active, spirited member, prompted in hie responses of "amen," and such like, and always seemed peculiarly delighted with Father Jones' preaching, for lie would sit in the corner of the church, and co-oper ate with great Batisfaction to hinutelfand that minister. figeeing this worthy brother stand ing before the door, the good humored disci ple rode up to the fence, and after the usual salutation accosted him thus "Brother I'., hive you hoard the news ?" "'Why, what news brother S., anything strange ?"' "Why, they say old Father Jones has been "sent to the Penitentiary for ono year !" On hearing this, brother P., with unaffec ted astonishment, indulged himself in such remarks as , why you don'tsay so ?" "Is it possible ?" "Is it really a fact?" "Why," says brother S., "I guess there's no mistake about it! 1 heard it from broth- C., and ho saw it in the papers, so I reckon it must be so !" "Well," says brother P., settling him self down on the truth of the rumor, "now brother 8., I can't say that I ain't surprised at this, but, between you and mo, I always thought that old man Jones wasn't the right kind of a man. The fact is, he's better in the Penitentiary than out of it, and I told my wife, he'd go there some day." Having thus delivered himself of his o pinion, and after a few similar comments, brother 8. loft without explanation, aston ished and amused at the effect of hi s infor mation.

MENTAL EXOITEMENT.—Bad news weakens the heart, oppressed the lungs, destroys the appetite, stops digestion, and partially suspends all the functions of the system. An emotion of shame flushes the face; fear blanches it; joy illuminates it; and an instant thrill electrifies a million of nerves. Surprise stirs the purse into ap lop. Delirium infuses great energy. Vo lition commands, and hundreds of muscles execute. Powerful emotion often kills the body at a stroke. Chile, Diagoras, and Sophocles died of joy at the Grecian Games. The news of a defeat killed Philip V. Tho door-keeper of Congress expired upon hear ing of the surrender of Cornwallis. Emi nent public speakers have often died in the midst of an impassioned burst of eloquence, or when the deep emotion that produced it suddenly subsided. Largnivo, the young Parisian, died when he heard that the mu sical prise for which he had competed was adjudged to another. Bo not affronted at a jest.

Profit by its moral A STonv or A Woonas Boa ton correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit of the times gives the following amusing yarn :--- I heard a good story the other day, which I will toll you. A distinguished member of the Legislature was addressing a tempe mice society, and he got rather prosy, but he showed no disposition to "let up" though the audience waxed thinner and thinner.— Finally, the presiding officer got excited; and repairing to a friend of the speaker's, inquired how much lowr he might reason ably be expected to speak r Whore upon the friend' answered he didn't exactly know —when he get to that branch of the sub ject he g enerally spoke a csuple of hours I, "That'll never do I've got to make a few remarks myself," stud the President, '"how shall I stave him off?" ' "Well, I don't know—in the first plum I should pinch his left leg, and then if ho shouldn't:stop, I'd stick a pin in it." The President returod to his seat, and his head was invisible fora moment. Soon afterwards he returned to the "brother" who had prescribed "the pin style of treat ment," and said : "I pinched him, and ho didn't take the least notice ut ell ; I stuck u pin into his leg and he didn't seem to care at all; I crooked it in, and he kept on spouting us hard as ever I" "Very likely," said the wag, "that leg s cork I" Nothing has Lev] seen of the President since ! HADIT'STRONO IN DEATH.—Leigh Hunt, in his reininieeeneee, tells the following of Coleridge, who, upon the death of a mas. er of a school ho had attended when a boy, remarked—qt was happy that the cherubims who took him to heaven were nothing but faces and wings, or he would infallibly have flogged them on the way." Elephants are said to live generally to the ago of two or three hundred years.— The Well known elephant Columbus, at tached to Raymond's Menagerie, is sup posed to be upward °gone hundred and fifty years old ; indeed, his age can be reg ularly traced back to the year 1701, at which time he was carried how Bengal to ,England. ratherfs *Joke to his lion. BY 00E711E. The time draws nigh, dear John, that I must go the way from which none returns. I cannot take thee with me, and leave thee in a world where good counsel is not su persibundant. No one is born wise. Time and experience teach us to separate the grain from the chaff. I have seen more of the world than you ; it is not all gold that glitters. I have seen many a star froin Heaven fall, and many a stall: on which men have leaned, break ; therefore 1 give this advice, the result of my experi enee :—Attach not thy heart to any trans ! itory thing. The truth comes nut to us, dear sou ; we must seek for it. That which pis see scrutinize carefully ; and with regard to things unseen and eter nal rely on God. Search no one so close !ly as thyself. Within us dwells the judge 'Who never deceives, and whose voice is more to us titan the applause of the world, and more titan all the wisdom of the Egyptians and Greeks. Resolve, my son, to do nothing to which this voice is oppos ' od. When you think and project strike on your forehead and ask for his counsel. He speaks at first low, and lisps as an M- I nocent child ; but if you honor his inno cence, he gradually loosens his, tongue and speaks mote distinctly. • Dispise nut any rcglion : it is easy to de spise, but it is much better to understand. Uphold truth when thou canal, and be willing for her sake to be hated ; but know that thy individual cause is not the cause of truth, and beware that they are not con founded. Do good for thy own satisfac tion ; and care not what follows: Cause no grey hairs to any one ; ,iievertheless, I for the right even grey halm are to be diet -graced. Help and give willinglywhen thou haat, and think no more of thyself for it, and if thou heat nothing let thy hands be ready with a drink _tif cold Water. and es teem thyself for-that no leas, not always what thou knowest, but know always •what thou staysit, Not the apliarent.de vont; but the truly devout man rpspect, and go in his ways.

An Ildiasa Zreakfast. On the 17th. we 'were paddling along at day light. On putting ashorp for break fast, four Indians on horseback' joined us. The moment they alighted, one set ahout hobbling the horses, another to- gather' small sticks, a third to make the fire, and. a Ibrth to catch fish. Fpr dais purpose tin' fisherman cut off a bit of.his IttatkorJ skirt, about the size-of a beau +-thew puk led out two or three hairs from the horse's tail for a line, tied to bit.of leather to 0110 end of it, in the place of a hook or Hy,. Thus prepared, he entered the riser a lit tle way, sat down on a attnie, and began throwing out the small fish, three or lour in ches long, on shore, just as, lest ache pleased ; and while thus employed, anoth er picked. them up and threw Mem towards the fire, while the third stuck them up a. round in a circlerMi small sucks, and they were no sooner up than roasted. The fel lows then sitting down, swalloWed diem —heads, tails, bones, tins and all—in no time, just as one would swallow the yoke of an egg. Now alt was but,the work of of a few ultimate ; and before our man had his kettle rJady for the fireethe Indi ans were already eating their bteaklast.- 1 When the fish had hold of the bit of loath-1 er or bait, their teeth had got entangled in it, so as to give him time to jerk them on shore, which was to us' a POW mode of angling ; lire produced by two bits of wood, was also* novelty ; bat what sur prised us more than all. was the regularity with which they proceeded, and the quick ness of the whole process, which actually took them less time Mau' it has taken 'ine to note it down.—ltose's lidvenlures it Oregon. Thu New York Knickerbocker gives the following incident as a graphic illus tration of the hurry with. which surgical operations are sometimes resorted to : A brave officer. who had been wounded with a musket ball near his knee. way ' stretched upon the dissecting table of a sur geon. who, with au assistant, began to cut and prob e in that region of his anatomy. Alter a while the “subject" said : • “Don't cut me up in that style, doctor ! Witit are you torturing we in that cruel way for r, ..We are looking after the ball," replied the senior operator. "Why didn't you say so, then, before I" asked the indignant patient. "I've got'llie ball in my pocket ! ' said he, putting his band in hie waistcoat and taking it out.— "I took it out myself." he added : " didn't I mention it to you T I meant to." Tut Wm:IEL CosruTtru.—A pious mother who was was in the habit of cate chising her children on Sabbath evening, had gathered them about her in the nursery for that purpose, when an infidel physician who was in attendance upon her sick hus band, entered the room and seated him self by the bedside. lie heard her little children repeat answer after answer to the questions in the catechism, and at length interrupted her with the inquiry, "Madam, why do you teach your children such stuff?"

W. Hatch was last summer lecturing on as tronomy. to a class in Courtland county, he brought out his telescope one evening when the moon was at its full, and just rising, for the classes to view the luminary through ills splendid instrument. The telescope is about the size cif a six point der ; and just as they got it level and ready for use, a long Yankee, and wife, and wile's mother, in company, came round the corner, in an old-fashioned "boat-bod ied" wagon. Seeing the cannon as they supposed it just ready to be fired, he stop ped the horse, jumped out, and taking his old steed by the bits, held on to him with all his caution. Out leaped the wile anti old woman, and stood waiting the explo sion with trembling anxigty, thu ladies hold ing their ears. The Professor, who loves a joke, told the boys to keep perfectly quiet, and await the result; while he kept level ling the instrument as if about to discharge it. After waiting some ten or fifteen min- Meg, Jonathan became impatient, and sung out— "Hallo, there, Mister, if you're going to tire your pesky gull, t wish you would he after doing it; we're tired of standin' here. and the inure wont stand fire, we want to be goin'. An uncontrolable roar of laughter from the whole class followed this speech, when the Professor stepped out to the road and mlbrtned the stranger that he could not get it exactly right ; they might get in, and Ito wouhl not fire until they got past. PHILOSOPHY OF BwiimmiNo.—Elizur Wright gives the rationale of swimming as follows : "No branch of education has been so Much neglected as this. Man is the only animal which does not swim natunilly.— He sinks in deep water from the size of his brain when not properly exercised. That is to say, the weight of his brain above his nose sinks that organ a little beneath the audio°, when he is an erect possition, be fore his body. displaces its weight in the water, 'and thus finds an equilibrium. With the nose under, one must breathe water and.drown. But when the brain eonies to be exercised enough to throw the head buck and the nose up, pointing to the very zenith, and keep the hands and feet curd fully tinder water, then,4by the eternal laws of hydrostatics, the nose will eon tin ite Love water, and the person will float like an empty bottle, which is so balanced as to keep its mouth uppermost. No human be lug can sink in still water of any depth ly ing on his back with hands and fact under water." A THUNDERINO COLD FIRE.-- , OD a winter night, a few years since, I was ri ding through the little town of Lowell, Maine. The sleighing was excellent, and !my horse. as if charmed by the anene, was trotting WY at a brisk rate when, from tonne 'cause, ho suddenly stopped. On looking "for it, I dis Covered a horse and sleigh driverless. In the sleigh was a inys terions looking keg, solo master of the premises, and upon looking for the driver. I found that individual by the road side— the keg was evidently master of him as well as the sleigh. He was muttering itotnething to himself of a "thundering cold Ore,' and blaming an imaginary John for "hot puling on more wood !" Coming nearer to him, I found that he was sitting upon the snow, his feet through the fence, warming them at the moon. DISTRESSING SUP3IDE.--IVO learn that a M. Perrgau, near Carter's Cross Roads. Carroll county, cat his throat with a pen knife,'On the 20th ult. Be was seen in the evening to get his razor and lay it up on the mantlepiece, which his wile re moved, and, with her sister, retired to an upper room, locking the door, and leaving a lad to sleep with Perrgan. During the night he demanded admittance at their door, which was refused. The boy be ing awakened, gave the alarm to the neigh bors, who found Perrgan walking in the woods, near hie dwelling, with his wind pipe severed. Drs. Brown and Hines were soon in attendence, who made every exertion to save his life, but, not with standing their professional skill and un tiring diligence, the wound was of such a nature as to result in his death on Wed nesday. Ho had been for some days pre vious laboring under an aberration of mind.

On being asked the reason why ' they refused to vote, they stated that they were Democrats and could not go for John ston. and would not vote for Bigler, be cause he had votod in 1847, denying the use of our jails to the Slaveholders, which law was signed by the patriot 18hunk, and now he was endeavoring to cast odium upon the memory of that great and good man by dehouncing that law ; that they despised a hypocrii, and that they would vote for no luau who would be guilty of such truckling. BLOOMERS IN A 818/WEIL—The editor of the Saturday Evening Gazette has seen a lady in a shower, and thus describes her peculiarly unpleasant predicament : "The Turkish trowsere lost their graceful contour, and flapped around the pedestals of the wearer like a wet banner round a flag staff, while the tunic was deprived of its stiff- Hess. The fair blower was in a most awk ward position, and reminded us of a ser iously indisposed hen who had been caught some way from her roost in a thunder storm."

Was there over a more reckless and un= founded assertion made by a man having any pretensions to common honesty and decency 1 We were never an admirer of the administration of (toy. Rimer, and the fact tint its master spirit, Tom Huanti‘Vi, is now a leading Locoforio in Laneatte e t county, proves that our want of confitrenco was well-grounded. But the editor of the Herald, in order to manufacture a little po laical capital, rakes up its ashes ?rpm the' grave to which they were long sinifei con• signed, and resorts to falsehood in order to render it more obnoxious, and work en injury to Whig party of the present day. Were the editor of the Herald a man of lair dealing, he would at least be willing to do justice to all men, and not pervert the truth on all occasions, in order to accorh• plish a political object. Now, let Ile see how a few plain figure will put this writer down. Ou reference to the Annual Re port of John N. Purviance, the late Leen loco Auditor General, made to the last Le gislature, it will be seen that the public debt of the Commonwealth has been con tracted under the respective adrainistra— lions, as follows : Date. Adminharationii. Dellis contracted. 18'20 to '23—Reinter, Loco., $20,322 99, 1893 to '29—Shulra, do.

Except the $400.060 Wait of 1849. created for the purpose oravehl, ing the Inclined Plane on the Columbia Railroad, not mac dollar of the public debt was ever contracted by a Whig admitaie tPatiow! Chiv. Rimer came into office in Decem ber, 1835, and went out in December, 18- 38, and, as it will be seen, not a Wilkie eut was added during his admipistration. Then commenced the administration of David R. Porter, under whom the public debt was increased at the rate of two lions a year ! Next came the •'lumettled Shenk,' who added his mite to the suns total at the rate of over a million a year, until the debt was dwelled up to the enor mous amount of, erty millions of dollar... If the editor of the Herald cannot he generous, let him at least be just, and not make statements SO palpably untrue,* the sake of bolstering up his own cause and injuring that of his opponents. Let him remember that the citizens of Butler county are not all fools who eau be duped by such weak inventions of the enemy, but that there is intelligence enough a mong them to detect and condemn a mod° of electioneering so dishonest and dishon orable as that to which he he has in an unguarded moment seen lit to resort.— Buller 'nig. Judge Coulter. We clip the following from the Carlisle (Cumberland county) Denrierat, ono of thti ablest and most influential Democratic pa pers in the State. It is edited by Goner. al Rover : . , "As in the election of Supreme and.pt - ' . _ trict Judges, we believe, as we have :id. ivays maintained heretofore, that the mores remote that question is kept front partiian politics, the better it will be for the country. We can scarcely conceive the immense mount of injury that may be done to the ; individual rights of persons, and their prop. ' crty, by a partizan Judge, who has at all times a strong political party at his back to sustain him in his course. And we hon estly believe that there are thousands and tens of thousands of freemen in Pensylva pia, who believe with us on this question, and will vote accordingly.. We can, there fore, see no impropriety in the Philadelphia Statesman publishing a communication fa voring the election of Judge Coulter...—. That gentlemen, it is well known, was the choice of at least three-fourths of the De mocracy of this county for a nominatiou on the Democratic Judicial ticket—he re ceived the support of both of our delegates at Harrisburg—antra has not, so far as we have been informed, been a whisper or complaint against the action of our debit. gates in that body—and we shall not bo • surprised to find Judge Coulter receiving a very large and rei.pectahle vote at the hands of the true-hearted Democracy Of old Cumberland. The fact of his being placed upon the Whig ticket, aftee the • very liattering support he received in the Democratic Convention, will do him no injury. It is convincing proof that he is one of the best men in the State ; and the additional fact that his Demoraey and qualifications received the sanction of such a man as old Frank Shunk, tb an endorse. meat that will be responded to by hosts of.
