A VICTIM OF MIRTHFULNESS.
CONFIDENTIAL DISCLOSURES OF AN OLD MAID
I may safely say that the organ of mirth
fulness has been the cause of most of the mis•
fortunes of my life. While still a small child,
I exhibited the propensity of laughing at any
thing which struck me,Jts being ludicrous, no
Matter where, when or how it was.
At one time, I went to a funeral with my
mother. It was the ftineral of a young lady
who was very much beloved, and of coui•so la
mented. Bvery one was in tears whet, on
turning towards a window,, I saw two inen,sit
ting.-one of whom was noted for his length of
nos, the other because, he had none. It was
too much.for my risibles—l choked, coughed,
and sneeze--but it would not do; laugh I
must, and - laugh I did. Suddenly a sbadoiv
fell across ray eyes, and a fleshly protuber
ance resembling a barbed hook, travelled some
distance across my nose, and I heard these
Viotds pronounced in my ear:
`Child, you may be the next victim to the
fell destroyer!'
This completed my overthrow, and my mo
ther, shaking me violently by the shoulders,
took me home, declaring that I never should
go anywhere again till I knew how to helnive
myself.
When I wennt to school, the same fate fol
lowed me. I received more reprimands and
more punishments than any o her six pupils.
Once when my teacher had been scolding me ,
and was just pronouncing pardon, I looked up
rani perceived the remains of a pinch of snuff
adhering to the end of his nose._ Then, alas!
woe was me that day.
When our committee came into school 1 was
always watching my, , master's great hands and
feet, and the awkward way he had of rolling
his eyes and hanging out his tongue; and many
are the scoldings 1 received over the school's
back. 1 laughed my way from girlhood to
maidenhood. At length there came a time to .
me, as there comes to all, when 1 was in love.
Edward Payson war a youth whom any lady
might be proud to love. Ile was gentle and
kind, and for a time I was able to control my
laughing genius while with him. My parents
really hoped that I had begun to improve.
One evening he was unusually sober, I un
usually gay. lie wished to converse soberly;
I would not, and tried to prevent him from do
ing so. The more sober and grave he beeawe,
the higher my spirits rose, till at length I was
above the earth—the clouds dancing about in
the broad expanse of air. I lea‘ped from one
airy castle to another, till at length my lover,
tired, and no doubt disgusted, said:
.Amelia,' ho said, in a husky voice, had
hoped that you were the one to control my
destinies, one who would be my companion
through life's thick maze—a friend—a wife.
But 1 'see my mistake. I am friendless and
alone, and must remain so. Forgive me for
thinking to tame your wild, free spirit. You
have said it is useless. I believe it. Fare
well! hereafter we meet but as friends.'
I was amazed—thunderstruck—but ho was
gone. I often met him afterwards, but he was
reserved, and l. tins always was gay and tri
vial in his presence. Oh, woman, thou art an
enigma ! When thou feelest most deeply,
thou seemest most gay ! When thou lovest
most thou seemst to scorn!
Then came another lover light headed as
myself. He was always joking, always gay.
People said: 'What a match;' and looked
upon the thing as settled. One evening he
came to me with a very solemn countenance,
and said:
'Amelia, I have an idea in my head.'
Don't it feel funny I" said I ; which so
frightened the poor man that he was unable to
finish. In like manner I have stopped two
others' confessions. Thus you see that my
propensity for making fun has made me what
I am—a lonely old maid. I have not mourned
my flesh off, on account of it, however, but
on the contrary, I have 'laughed and grown
fat.' -
But still if some machine could be invented
to keep my countenance while I listen to an
other declaration, I would be most happy to
receive both the machine and thin declaration.
MACKLIN'S •ADVION Tor iris have
often told you that every man must to a great
extent, be the maker or marrer of his own
fortune. I repeat the doctrine. Ho who de
pends upon incessant industry and integrity,
depends upon patrons of the noblest and most
exalted kind; these are creators of fortune and
fame, the founders of families, and can never
disappoint and desert you. You have genius,
you have learning, you have industry at times,
but you want perseverance; without it you can
do nothing. I bid you bear this motto in
mind—Perseverance.
'A BOLD STROKE FOU A Ilusnann.'--A new
nethed is now adopted by ladies of a 'certain
to obtain life partners. An intellectual,
11,nt looking prettily dressed female, just
.ted of thirty, invests twenty Ave cents for
ilepaerrootype of her own sweet self, which
the °ruefully drops on the side walks of a
crowded street. Somebody picks it up; finds
out the owner—and marries ifer, of course!
Falsehood of Exaggerations.
Besides the folsolo9s-viklicb people design
edly speak there is a kind which springs from
negligence, hastiness, or a warm imagination.
Ur. Samuel Johson was of opinion that most
lying arises from indifference about the truth,
rather than from wish to deceive. Per pleare
not sufficiently anxious to be correct; they say
anything that comes uppermost, or what they
think will please, without reflecting whether
it be strictly true or not. It is a Common error
of tradesmen, from a desire to pleise or worse
reasons, to promise to have work done at /I
particular time, when they are not sure of
their ability to do so, or know positively they
are not able.
Many persons, also, either from heedless
nes- or design, say what they think will create
surprise, without supposing that they are
doing any harm. Perhaps. there is sonic truth
in what they ray, but it is so magnified or ex
apel wed, with the view of exciting wonder,
that it has the character and effect of falsehood.
Such people aro in the habit of using the words
'vast, immense, grand, splendid, magnificent,
superb, tremendous,' and others of the nature,
when words of a more simple meaning should
be employed.
'Father,' sail a boy one day; saW an im
mense number of dogs—five hundred I. am
sure—in the street last night.' Surely not so
many?' said his father. 'Well, there were one
hundred, I'm quite sure.' 'lt could not be,'
said the father; 'I &AA, think there arc a
hundred dogs in the village.' Well, sir, it
could not be less than ten; this I am quite
certain of ' will not believe that you even
saw ten,' said the father; 'for yoti spoke as
confidently of seeing live hundred as of seeing
t tis smaller number. You have contradicted
ourself twice already, and now I cannot be
lieve you.' Well, said the boy,
our Dash; lin hnotlier one '
This is an example of erroneous reporting
through eagerness to make out a wonderful
case. Fur the same reason, nn uneducated
man, who had been in the West Indies, hear
ing some one speak 'of the sun rising at mid
summer about four in the morning, said, .0
that is nothing to what he does in Jamaica. f
ive seen him rise there between two and
three.' This man did not know that that• was
impossible, and that we must go towards the
poles, and not towards the tropics, in order to
see the sun rise very early.
It is common, too, to hear people say that
they. have not been so warm in all their lives;
that some one's gown is the prettiest they ever
saw; or that they never were so happy as at
Mrs. Smith's party; when it is obvious that
they are alleging what is utterly impossible
for them to be quite sure of. A little real re
spect for truth, and desire to follow it at all
times, aided by a little reflection on the mean
ing 'of the words we are about to utter, would
save us from falsehoods of this kind.
Titere is yet another species of falsehood,
which consists in saying ono thing but mean=
ing another; this ought at all times be avoid
ed, the same as positive lying. Persons who
resort to this mean practice think that because
they do not lie in the words they use, they do
not commit any actual sin or crime. But this
is a mere delusion. The lie iti'comrnitted by
the attempt to convey
, f i t. false or wrong mean
ing, for the purpose of misleading; and such
a mode of speaking is therefore both deceitful
and sinful. •
In the whole business of the world, truth is
of great importance. Vve should not only ob
serve it in everything relating to ourselves and
our neighbors, but we should seek to ascertain
it, and hold fast by it, in all things. If we
study history, we should endeavor to got the
books of best authority. If we cultivate sci
ence, wo should make sure that we receive
nothing which is not satisfactorily proved.—
Nothing but good testimony oan prate the
truth of an event; and nothing but experi
ment, and a careful observation of facts, can
prove the truth of anything in science.
'Vo should allow no opinion to rest in our
minds unless we are certain, and have taken
-pains to make ourselves conscientiously certain,
that it is right,and not founded in error. Every
wrong opinion. orsupposition of what is false,
tends to do harm iu the world; while every
thing we know, for truth, and every opinion
and . sentiment that we know. to be rightly
founded, tends to the good of mankind.
The 'Hard shell 'Baptists' are a well
known sect in the south and south-west. They
go dead against all Bible, temperance, and ed
ucation societies ; hate missions to-the Beath•
en, and,all modern schemes for converting the
rest of mankind. Of course they are opposed
to learning, and speak as they are suddenly
moved. A Georgia correspondent relates the
following of one of their preachers :
'Two of them were in the sumo pulpit to
gether. While one was preaching he happen
ed to say, 'When Abraham built the ark.'
The one behind strove to correct his blunder
by saying out loud. ' Abraham worn.'l Thar.'
• But the speaker pushed on, heedless of the
interuption, and only took occasion shortly to
repeat, still more decidedly, say, when
Abraham built the ark.'
'And I say,' cried out the other, 'Abraham
warn'[ ther. '
The hard shell was to hard to be beaten
down in this way, and addressing the people,
exclaimed with great Indignation, 'I say Abra
ham was Char °Maar about&

A New Way to Detect a Thief.
The father of the great Amerioan — States•
man was a humorous and jocose personage,
and innumerable are the anecdotes related of
him. ,As he was joUrneying in Massachusetts.
not far from his native town, he slopfa rather
late one night at an inn in the village of
In the barroom were about twenty ditlerent
persons, who, as he entered, called out for him
to discover n thief. One of the company, it
appeared, had, a few minutes before, had 't
watch taken from hie pocket, and he knew the
offender must be in the room with them.
'Conic, Mr. Alumnae maker, you know the
signs of the times, the hidden -things of the
season, tell who is the'thief.'
•Fasten all the doors of the room and let no
one leave it; and here landlord go and bring
your wife's.great brass kettle.' •
'Who-ow! want to know! my stars! my
wile's whe-ew!' quoth Bonifoce.
'Why, you couldn't be more struck if I told
you to go to pot!'
13oniface did as commanded: the great brass
kettle was placed iu the middle of the floor,
its bottom up—as black, sooty and smoky
as a chimney-back. The landlord got into
his bar, and looked on with his eyes as big as
saucers.
'Ynu don't Want any hot water nor nothin'
to take off the bristles on a` critter do you,
c
Square'?' said the Landlord, th4reparation
looking'a little too much like 'hog killing.—
'The old woman ' s done to•bed a d the well is
dry.' ,
•\ow go into the barn and,bring' the biggest
eockvel you've g
.h 4. w! you won't bile him, will you! he's
a tough one. I can swear, Square, he didn't
steal the watch. The old rooster knoWs when
it is time to crow, without looking at a watch.'
'Go along, or I won't detect the thief.'
Itoniface went to the barn and soon retured
'I saw at least
with n tremendous fat rooster, cackling all the
way like mad.
Now put him under the kettle and blow.the
light out.'
The old rooster was thrust under the invert
ed kettle and the lamp blown out.
'Now gentlemen, I don't 'spose the thief is
in the.company; but if he is, the old rooster
will crow - when the offender touches the bot
tom of° the kettle with his hands. Walk
round in a circle, and the cock wi,l make
known the watch stealer; The innocent need
not be afraid, you know.'
The company then, to humor him, and carry
out the joke, walked around the kettle iu the
dui k fur three or four minutes.
•A!! done, gentlemen!'
'All done,' was the cry; 'where's your crow
ing! We heard no cookadoodeldo.'
'Bring us a light.'
•
A light was brought.as ordered.
'Now hold up your hands, good folks. They
were of course black, from coming in contact
with the soot of the kettle.'
'All up.'
.An up,' was the response.
' , All --don't know! Here's one fel
low who hasn't held up his hands.'
'Ali, oh! my old boy, let'B \ tako a peep at
your parrB:
They were examined, and they were not
black like those of the rest of the company.
'You'll find your watch about him—search.'
And so it proved. The fellow not being
aware, any more than the rest, of the ( trap
that was set for the discovery of the 614 had
kept aloof from the kettle, lest wlen he
touched it the crowing of the rooster should
proclaim him as the .thier. As the hands of all
the others were blackened, the whiteness of
his own showed of course that he had not
dared to touch the old brass kettle, and that
he was the offender. lie jumped out of the
frying pan into the fire, and wan lodged in as
uncomfortable a place as either—to wit—the
jail.

in the 7th Fusiliers, and twenty-two years in
