- "A IIahd Road to Tbatel." It seems to
be generally admitted that "Jordan is a hard
road." Jim Sherwood tells of one that, if not
the. Veritable "Jordan" itself, must certainly be
its "next best friend." But let Sher speat for
himself : .' . ' . ' '
.. .Time, towards evening Place, Forks of the
Road, somewhere in North Carolina Log
cabin close by Redheaded boy sitting on the
fence whistling "Jordan." Enter travler on
an old' gray mare, both looking pretty well
beat "out.!' . . . : ..
' '- Trarler. "Sayj boy, which of these roads
go to Milton?" , :
Stuttering Boy. "B-b-both on 'em goes
thar." ' .' '
: Trv. "Well, which is the quickest way?" ;
Boy. "B-b-both alike; b-b-both oFeni gets
there b-b-bout the same t-t-time-o'day."
Trav.-"IIow far is it?','
Boy. "Bout fonr m-m-mile." .
' Trar. "Which is the best road."
Boy. T-t-they ain't nary, one the b-best.
If you take the right hand road and go about
a m-mile, yourll wish you was in h-h 11; and
if you t-t-turn back and take the 1-1-Ieft hand
one, by the time you hare g-g-gone half a m-m-mile,
you'll wish you had kept on the other
r-r-roa.il G'lang!"
Lady Lawyers. One of the female spea
kers at the late woman's Rights Convention
haTing stated that she was studying law with
a view to practice, the Xew Bedford ifarcury
treats the subject thus humorously:
"TTe with the New Portia all possible suc
cess, though we cannot help thinking she
would do better with a little 'nn than Lyttle
ton, with a cap than capias. All woman like
a declaration, though most prefer another
kind to that in a writ. Still, our Blackstone
Ta S!rr? maT aucceea yonaerfuily in conning,
and win a silk gown in advancC t'f a her
competitors. The only injustice is that
rhetoric may be heightened and rendered
more heavenly by a pretty countenance, the
present race of lawyers being by no means
beautiful as to the phiz. In that case, as Sap
pho filched the laurels from Pindar, not by
force of her poetry, but by the fairness of her
face, so Squire Nancy or Poll may carry off
decisions from our soft hearted judges, when
the law and the evidence are both on fheside
of some long-nosed, ill-favored special pleader
in pantaloons."
Too Good to be Lost. At a recent' elec
tion in this Stato, a lad represented himself at
the polls to claim the benefit of the elective
franchise.
Feeling a deep interest in the success of a
favorite candidate of his, the father, who was
evidently opposed to the boy's preference,
stood at the ballot bos, and challenged his
right to a vote, on the ground of his not being
of age. The young man declared that he was
twenty-one years old; that- he knew it, and
that he insisted upon his right. The father
becoming indignant, and wishing as the say
ing is, to 'bluff him off,' before the Judges,
said .:. .
Now Bob, will you stand up there and con
tradict me? Don't I know how old you are?
Wasn't I there? s v .
; Bob looked his contempt for the old man's
epecch, as he hastily replied . :,
Thunderation ! s'pose you was, wasn't I
there,' too?'
This settled the sire, and in went the scion's

A BEAtmrn. Incident. A naval officer be
ing at sea in ; a dreadful storm, his wife was
sitting in the cabin near him, and filled with
alarm for the safety of the vessel, was so sur
prised at his serenity and composure, that she
cried out: . , , . -,
- "My dear, are you not afraid? How is it
possible you can be so calm in such a dread
ful stoim?" , -
He rose from the chair, dashed it to deck,
drew his sword, and pointing it to the breast
of his wife, exclaimed y '
"Are you afraid?" .
She instantly answered No."
" Why," said the officer.
. "Because," rejoined the wifej"I know this
sword is in the hand of my husband and he
loves me too well to hurt me."
"Then," said he, "remember I know ! in
whom I believe, ; and that he who holds the
wind in his fist, and the water in the hollow of
his hand, is my father. ; "r
Latino Eggs on Sunday. There is such a
thing as carrying religion to an extreme.
The following is a ludicrous case in point:
A lady residing in the city, who, by the way,
was one of the strictest of evangelical church
members, chanced to go into the country, on
a visit to her brother, who was also a deacou
of the church. . . ....
On the first Sunday of her visit, a little son
of her brother's came running into the house
with a couple of eggs, which he had just found
in the hen's nest. ,.
"See aunt," he exclaimed, "what our hens
have laid to-day." ..
"What!" exclaimed the lady, lifting up her
eyes inhorror,."is it possible that your father,
a pious man and a deacon, allows his heiis to
lay on Sunday?" , - '
She took an early opportunity, to remon
strate with her brother on the subject, but
whether the hens reformed their ways has not
been ascertained.
TJgiyvs. Ugly. In the eastern part of Del
aware county, in this State, there resided a
man named B ,now a justice of peace, and a
very sensible man, but by common consent
the ugliest looking individual in the whole
country, being long, gaunt, sallow, and awry,
with a gait like a kangaroo. One day he was
a hunting, and on one of the mountain roads
he met a man on foot and alone, who was lon
ger, gaunter, uglier, by all odds, than himself.
He could give the Squire "fifty"and beathim.
Without saying a word, B raised his gun and
deliberately levelled it at the stranger. "For
God's sake, don't shoot," shouted the stran
ger in great alarm. "Stranger," replied B.,
"I swore ten year3 ago that if I ever met a
man uglier than I was, I'd shoot him, and you
are the first one I've seen." The stranger,
after a careful survey of his rival, replied,
"Wal, if I look any worse than you do, shoot;
I don't want to live any longer!"
Names or the Days or the Week. The
remains ?f the religion of the ancient people
of Great Britain are seen in the ames -f the
days of the week. These people were Scan
dinavians, who carried into Britain with them
their arms, their deities, and their religious
rites. The Anglo Saxon superstition came
from their progenitors, the Danes and Norwe
gians, and northern mythology was once the
established religion of Great Britain. The
names of the days of the week were called af
ter the deities of this northern worship. Sun
day is the da- of the Sun; Monday of the
Moon; Tuesday, of Teucer, the god of hunt
ing and archery; Wednesday, the day of Wo
den, the god of war; Thursday, the day of
Thor, the god of thunder; Friday, the day of
Friga, the god of love and marriege: Satur
day, the day of Satur, the god of fruits.
Another Dietetic Discovert. Nichols's
Journal has commenced a war of extermina
tion against frying pans, apiders, and all other
'cast iron abominations for making foot! un
wholesome.' The doctor says that every thing
cooked by this method is saturated with fat
or butter, rendered tough, covered with em
pyreuni oil, and made as unfit as possible for
the human stomach. No dyspeptic should
ever eat any thing fried, and no one should
ever do so who would avoid becoming a dys
peptic. Food should be boiled, or roasted or
baked even anything but fried, the latter de
stroying whatever good qualities meat may
possess, and exaggerating all its badness.
Beware of the frying pan!
Op-Snipes has added the following to his
Litany: .
From sanctimonious mothers, who court for
others; from smiling misses whose only wish
is to sport with hearts and heirs distresses,
pray deliver us !
From creaging doors, 'counfounded bores,'
a wife that snores, protect us !
From want of gold, wives that scold, mai
dens too old, and I to sharpers "sold," preserve
us !
From cholic's gripes, smoke pipes, and
Mrs. Snipes deliver usjl,
From modest girls, jrith waving curls, and
teeth of pearls yr? rTjj?

"Graham" will be pretty muck what it .has been
the last volume," with some improvements which
experience suggests- No number will contain less
than 100 pages of matter, and the readers of "Gra
baur' may rely with great confidence upon this-
the volume shall contain , .
, OVER TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES ! .
Of the very best reading matter that capital can
command from ojiginal sources, or taste select from
tho vast roasB of available material.
The aim of the editor will be to produce a pub
lication which sholl be valuable in matter, and
choice in taste and style; and he flatters himself,
from the known talents of bis contributors, that he
will be able to present as many good original ar
ticles to his readers as any publication of the day.
He shall not, however, hesitate to publish, from
time to time, articles from English authors, and
translations from the beet German and French
writers, provided the pieces have never before ap
peared in print in this country. Es?nys on impor
tant Political Subjects will likewise be inserted,
and criticisms on the Literature of America and
the movements of the Age. The Leview Depart
ment, in which a large and liberal ppirit of crit
icism will always be maintained, will be extended.
For the defenceof American Ditcrature the editor
will always be ready ; the maintainance of a cor
rect tone in the Magazine, he will, if possible, be
still more watchful. " "

who will supply illustrations for the text-in the
body of the book. The aim of the editor will not
be so much to increase tho number of his engrav
ings, as to secure for those he publb-hes the ut
most finish the artist can give them ; for common
wood-cuts are so easily multiplied, that the most
indifferent publication may outrank in dreary dis
play the choicest periodical.
The Editor docs not feel, that with. bis own rea
ders, he can increase his claims to respect by in
sisting on any -very great superiority of -Graham'
over several similar publications, but thinks he
may safely confide in their friendship for the
Magazine, and in its past management lor its pre
sent list, and such increase as naturally grows out
of an extended circulation in a country where
readers ore multijilying so rapidly.
Of the January number the first odition will be
SO. 000 copies, and the editor trusts his old friends
will be so prompt in renewing old clubs, and ex
tending the list among new ones, that the fir3t
odition shall be but half os what the year will ul
timately establish, as the permanent circulation of
"Graham."
