Many a mother is &axiom; to know what ails the little sufferer that it should cry so loudly, and, imagining it to be suffer ing from pain, administers some imne imagery opiate, or pain -killer, when all the ehtld maxis is a-few tea-spoonfuls of good, pure sparkling cold water.

An incident in " The Virginians," representing Washington as ready to accept a challenge, has led Leslie's ll lastrated Paper to reprint the following pertinent nnocdote from Weem's Goa sipping Life of Washington : " In 1754, Washington was stationed at Alexandria with his regiment, the only one of the colony, of which he was colonel. There happened to be at this time an eloceon in the town for mem bers of the Assembty, and the contest ran high between Col. George Fairfax and Yr.Etsey. Washington was a warm friend of Col. Fairfax, 'and Mr. Payne headed the friends of Mr. Else y, A dispate taking place in the Court House yard, Washington, at this time not twenty-two years of age, tiontrary his usual manner, became excited, and,' what was *VI more uncommon, sal , something that offended Kr. Paytas;: whereupon the litilegentleman, 'though / but a cub In size,' raised his sturdy, hickory, and by a tingle blow brought ] Washington to the ground. "Several of Washington's ofileersi being . prosent, they whipped out their irons in an instant, and it was supposed that there would be murder off-bimd.--, To make bad worse, the members of the; regiment, hearing how their commun.) der had been treated, bolted oat of tbq barracks every man with his weapon] threatening vengeance on those whq dared to knock down their beloved 001/ suet. .11n_ppily for Mr. Payne and hi ' party, Washington recovered ,tim enough to go out and inset his enrage soldiers, and after thanking them fo their expression of attachment, a 4 sand them that be was not hurt ii the least, and begged them, as theY Cored him and their duty, to returq to their barracks. As to Washington himself,. he went to his room, an 4 finding on mature reflection, the he had been the aveswr, he determin t cd to make Mr. Payne honorable res t amtiou by asking his pardon on tilt morrow. No sooner bad he made Olt, noble resolution than ho recovered bit natural calmness of manner, d ross himself, aril trent to a hall, behavin as if nothing had happened. AlLiNrlr. ' "The next day be wont to a taverri and wrote a polite note to Mr. Payne; requesting to see him.

During the progress of the work, the prosecution of which was ox ceedingly expensive, M. Audubon of course called upon several of his sub scribers for payments. It so happened that Mr. Astor (probably that he might not be troubled about small matters) • was not applied to before the delivery of all the leder•press and platee. Then, however, Audubon asked for his thous and dollars; bid he was put off with ono excuse or another. " Ah, Mr. Audubon," would the owner of millions observe, "you come at a bad time ; money is very scarce; I have nothieg in bank; I have invested all my funda. At length, the sixth time, Audubon called upon Astor for his thousand del-1 lava. As he was ushered into his pres ence be found William B. Astor, the son, conversing with the father. No sooner did the rich man see the man' of art, than he begun, "Ah, Mr Andabon, so yon have come again after your money. Hard times, Mr. Audubon, money very scarce." But just thou catching an enquiriag look from his eon, ho changed his tone : "However, Kr.

Some men are boastful of theiranees. try, while others are entirely devoid of all pride of birth, and have no more respect for the genealogical table of their forefathers than they have for Poor Richard's Almanac. The late John Randolph of Roanoke used to as sort his belief that he was descended from the celebrated Indian Princess, Pocahontas, but it is not known that he ever established his claim to that distinction. Many years ago there lived in a near State a yoang gentleman who took it into his bead that, like John Randolph, he was of Indian descent, though, un like John, be did not known exactly the tribe to whieh his forefathers belon ged. The. ileawas a perfect monoma nia with Wm, notwithstanding the of forts of his friends to convince him of the tally of his pretensions, to say no. thing of the absurdity of them, even if they could be established. The favori to noteon, however, could not be eradica ted from his mind, and be promised his friends that be would ono day convince them that ho was right in his claim. Having heard that a deputation of Indians were at Washington, on a visit to their great father, tho President, he promptly repaired to the city, and ar ranging with the gentleman who bad them in charge, his friends in tho city were surprised to receive an invitation to accompany him on a visit to tho Rod Mon, before whom be propoeod to veri fy his favorite pretensions. The party met as requested, and found the Indians sitting oil the floor smoking their pipes, and manifesting but little apprectition of her honor of tho visit.

At least thirty days previous to the first term of the Court of Common Pleas, of each year, the Sheriff and at least two of the County Commissioners are required to meet at the County Scat, and thereupon proceed with due dili gence to select from the taxable citi zens of said county a sufficient number of sober, intelligent and judicious per sons to serve as jurors in the several Courts, which shall be required to be holden during the year. • But before they can enter upon said duties, the Sboriffitsul Commissioners are severally required to take the following oath, which must be administered by some person legally authorized to do so: " You and retch of yogi do swear for affirm) ,that yon will use your utmost endeavors and diligence in making an Impartial selection of competent per , sews foe jerors daring the ensuing year, and that you will not suffer lairtiality, favor, affection, hatred,_ malice, or ill he any ease or respect whatever, to influence you in the selecting, draw ing or returning of jurors • bat that you will in all respects Ite:testly rant ' form to the tree Intent and moaning of the Acts of Assembly in such case ninth, and provided." They then premed to write the names of each ponette se they may select to setae jurors, open Separate and small slips e) paper, together with their stir names, occupations end places of abode These slips are then carefully rolled or folded up so that what le written there on is not visible, (except by unfolding,) and the same are then deposited In this wheel. When they have thus selected • a steleiont Dumber ofnarnee, the wheel Is locked up by the Sheriff; and ht or der to make it still more secure, or rath er, that lea being opened might be read ily detected, stripe of paper are fasten ed across the door with sealing wax, and upon which are written the algae. tures of the Sheriff and Commissioners. The law requires that the Sheriff shall retain possession of the key, and the Commissioners the wheel itself. Neith er the Sheriff aor Ccmwtheloners are al lowed to open the wheel except at such times as the law or the Court may di rect under the penalty of a forfeiture to the use of the amity of a sum not exceeding five hundred dollars at the discretion of the Court. If at any time the names in the wheel should be ex hausted before the end of the year, the Court may order a now selection of persons. At cosh term of the Court the Judges lease a precept to the Prothonotary and Clerk, directing them to issue a writ, which is celled a venire, commanding the Sheriff and Commissioners to draw from the wheel the number of jurors that may be needed for the next suc ceeding term of Court. Upon the re ceipt of the writ, the Sheriff and Com missioners open the wheel and proceed to draw from the SUMO the names of thejurors. The first twenty-four names drawn constitute the Grand Jury. The next thirty-six names constitute the I Traverse Jury for the first week; and the next thirty-six for the second week, he. A list of the jurors thus drawn is certified to the Clerk and Prothonotary, who enter them upon' their re3peritive dockets. The Sheriff is required to summon each juror, for which he is al lowed by law twenty-lire cents on each name. The Oyer and Terminer is the Court in which a few of the highest criminal offences are tried, to wit : Murder, Ai.- l son ' nape, Buglary and Robbery. The Clerk having deposited the names of the Traverse Jurors (which arc written on small stripe of paper, and so rolled or folded up as to conceal the name,) in a small box which 18 called the "Jury Boa;" when a jury is required, the eierk opens the box and draws from it a single paper, and unfolding the 114 Mo announces aloud the name which is written thereon. The juror, answer ing, comes forward to a part of the room provided for the jou to sit. The Clerk then iuquires of the pnsoner to be tried whether or not be challenges the juror. , II be does, the juror steps aside, and a nether is called. If the juror should not be challenged by the prisoner, and the Commonwealth does not challenge for clause, the juror is sworn to try the case and takes his seat. He is coo sidered One fbredian of the jury. Thus they proceed until a full jury (twelve men) is °Raised. The prisoner is al lowed twenty irsznieroar challenges, and as many_ more as be can show ea for. The Commonwealth can ehalleage only for cause. In this Court each juror is sworn separately, nor are they allowed to separate until the case is fully tried and verdict rendered, except by special agreement.

Andrew Hunter, ,Esq., who promoted Brown and his followers, delivered as address at Richmond, a few evenings ago, in the Rail of the House of Delegates, and the dispatch gives a sketch of it, front which we copy as follows : As an evidence of the completeness of the *Totem of espionage a do pted, IL said that one of the spies in the em ployment of Virginia repeatedly slept in the bed with John Brown, Jr., and 'watched all his movements concerning his father.

The spies reported the or ganization, and Mr. Hunter was enabl ed to find it out within forty eight hours after the intended rescue was given up. It is remarkable that it was then, for the first time, that John Brown agreed to see his wife When she first proposed to come his language was.- " For God's sake, do not come here!"

Terrible Struggle for Life.—On the 13th December, Mr...fustus liebee left Pine ricer for Elk Rapids, in a small boat, with his family and household a f o*. family consisted of his wife and two children—the eldest *daughter of eight years, and the youngest an in fant of two years. When out but a short distance upon the riter,•they en countered a severe galo, which capsized the boat, and the littlokdeughter, amid cries of help, sunk to rise no more.— The mother and husband clung to tho boat, succeeded in righting it, and wore again capsized. The mother, with the .child in her arms, clung to the boat until her hands .became stiff with cold, and she was dbliged to relinquish her grasp. She then took bAbehild in her arms, seizing it by the calf of the log, and succeeded, with the aid of her h lls• band, in reaching the shore, but to gtutp once or.twlco. The child was dead.— The mother and child were buried in ones grave. The body or the little daughter was not recovered. Mr. lie_ bee arrived at Elk Rapids by trail. sarTlio General Convention of the Republican party is to be hold at Chi cago,on the 13th of Juno next. This lotstion is most atrikingly indicative of the smitionalisin and abolition tendon. eiee of that party. Taking the evi dences of the Republican press for judgment, there is no such Abolition hold in tho North.. But is few weeks ago two general Abolition Conventions were held in that city, and nowhere was the sympathy for John Brown in his work for forcibly abolishing slavery in tho States of the Union, more in tensely manifested. During the dis cussion attending the locution of the Theological Seminary for the North west, by the Old School Presbyterian church, the Republican prose of this State pronounced Chicago as tin hot,- bed of Abolitionism. Most sprepri- Gtely, then, has the place been eboeen for the Republican Convention. In no other locatioc would that party be re ceived with a more lively sympathy.— Indianapolis Sente'nel.
