In a late number of the Eclectic Medi
cal Journal, the editor remarks that
young babies often cry from actual
thirst. Their maternal• supply is intend
ed as ;food; not as drink, and makes
them thirsty without quenching the
thirst as a.cool liquid would. They cry,
be tbinkit, for cold water. 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. As
the experiment is a very simple and
easy one, let all mothers try it first, be
fore haring recourse to medicine. In
warm 'weather, particularly, children
may be suffering from thirst instead of
pain, and a small qiuuttity of sold Mir
tar may give them inunethate relief.

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

enough to go out and inset his enrage

their expression of attachment, a 4

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

noble resolution than ho recovered bit

SlirThe following amusing aneedoie
is told of John Jacob Astor, in ;be doe
ble character of a patron of literataVe
and parsimonious money-holder, whudi
appears to be exceedingly eharacteriattl:
Among the subscribers to Audubon's
magnificent work on ornithology, the
subscription price of which was $l,OOO
a copy, appeared the name of John Ja
cob Astor. 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. Audubon, I suppose ae mart eon- ,
trive to let you have some of your
money, if William," he added,
milling to =who had walked into

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

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

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.
Haring arranged his friends at a res•
pectful distance from the atzed elder,
who still regarded the visitylv with
stolid irolifferenee, the young man step
ped boldly from the centre, and prosia•
ming that it would require some show
of energy to arouse the ahiefa frmit
their apparent apathy, he plaryd his
hand on Isis breast, and said with great
fearlessness :
" Me—lndian--long timo ngn."
Thu chief, who was not. ►kiliud in

mouth, but evincod no emotion wit:n

Without moving a muscle of his taco,

acute tricks. Among the best, w« hare

Chaneing to visit the office of Alder
man the other day, we witnessed
a hymeniat ceremony that will bear
narrating.
The bridegroom was a weather-beat
on countryman, a perfect picture of
good nature, and so tall that entering
the portals of the office an involuntary
obeisenee was necessary ; while the ar
tificial hollyhocks on the summit, of the
bride's bonnet just touched the elbow of
her lord. Their entrt.nte was preceded
by an urchin in dilapidated garments,
who claimed and received three coppers
as a fee for guiding them to the spot.
"what can I do for yoa, my good
friends ?" asked the orband Alderman,
as if in atter ignocance of the subject of
their visit. "Pray be seated, madam."
" Well, squire," answered the groom,
with a complacent *lancelet the Alegre
breastpin that fastened a dashing rib•
bon around the lady's neck, "old Mrs.
Pettilione,doyn to Lynn—you've hetarsa

Well,roally, I think—l hardly know
—I guess not."
" Not hea.'n tell of her, squire I
Why, she makes tits best porikin sass

"Very . happrin be introdneed to

" Jes two. jes so. Kell, old Mrs. Pet

ceremony, ycwr money's tv.nly."
"So you wb.h to get married, eh;
queried the Alderman, willing to spend
few moments le;strc in conversation ;
" may I venture to ask what induces
you to. break through .% bachelor's life?"
" Sortie. squire, sartin. Yew see. its

TWO DOLLARS A.TZAR.
Drawing Jurors.
The law requires that the Commis
sioners of every county in the Common
wealth shall keep a wheel for the pur-
pose of containing the names of jurors
for the courts of the respective counties.
This %heel is something like an ordin
ary churn, used by every farmer, with
the exception that is not more than
one-third as long, and the door is fast
ened by a lock instead of a hook.
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

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

and the same are then deposited In this

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.

Terrible Struggle for Life.—On the

Pine ricer for Elk Rapids, in a small

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•
