Self-Apprtciattott-Dr Holmes, in the last of his ' Autocrat papers, says: 'Self-appreciation is a slow and gradual process. At first a child thinks he can do everything. I remember when I thought I could lift a house, if I only tried hard enough, So I began Tith the hind wheel of a heavy old family coach built like that in which my Lady Bountiful carried the little King Pippin, if you happen to remem ber the illustrations of that story. I lifted with all my might, and the planet pulled down with all its might. The planet beat. After that, my ideas of the difference between my will and my muscular were more accu rately defined. Then came the illusion, that I could, of course 'lick.' 'serve out,' or 'pol ish ofiV various small boys who had been or might be obnoxious to me. The event of the different set-toos' to which this hypothesis led not uniformly cocfirming it, another lim itation of my possibilities was the consequence In this way I groped along into a knowledge of my physical relations to the organic and inorganic universe. A man must be very stupid indeed, if by the time he is ripened, he does not know tolerably well what his physical powers are. His weight, bis height, his general development, hie constitutional force, his good or ill looks, he had time to iiud out ; and he is a fool if be does not carry a reasonable consciousness of these conditions with him always. It is a little harder with the mind ; but some qualities are generally estimated fairly eoougn by their owners. Thus, a mau may be trusted when he has a good or bad memory. Not so of his opin ion of his own judgment or imagination. It is only by a very slow procets that he finds out how much or how little of these qualities he possesses. But it is one of the blessed privileges of growing older, that we come to have a much clearer sense of what we can do and what we cannot, and settle down to our work quietly, knowing what our tools are and what we have to do with thetn. God Help the Poor. The following vivid picture of abject ertv and destitution, is taking from the pov-Cin- cinnatia Inquirer. "Turning the corner of Vine and Ninth street, on Monday morning last, we came suddenly upon an old woman on her hands and kueos, scraping tho sides of an empty sugar hogshead We stopped and looked at her. muffling ihe cloak about our lace, for the bitter wind of our coldest day swept around the corner like a blast from the North Pole She was an old woman well on to seventy years of age with scattered gray hairs tailing over her wrinkled face. A tat tered shawl was gathered about her thiu, skin ny shoulders, while an old calico dress, thin and ragged, fell about her bent and wasted body. Holding in her long, bony, trembling fingers a board, the scraped and scraped at the sides of the hogshead. Her strength soon gave out; and gathering up the dirty roll she had accumulated ia a still dirtier rag she hobbled away 'God help the poor. Lot any one look at so fearful an instance of waut as this, and think of his own mother being reduced- to such a pass, and a pang will euter his heart, giving purity and strength to the prayer. God help the poor! He is their main, if Lot their only help. Strange we can organize all sorts of institutions, and carry them into successful operatiou while our charities are so clumsily arranged that they generally fail of their object entirely, or fall on unworthy sub jects; "Jet generally, we are charitably inclin ed. There is no one among us, whatever may be his unceasing pursuit of money but feels it a duty nay, more, finds it contrib utes to his happiness to relitte the needy and unfortunate; yet we fail miserably of our purpose. The wretched aro around us, suf fering fearfully; while the deceitful and wick ed too often enjoy the few benefits we bestow." Kules for the Journey of Life The following rules, from papers of Dr. West, were, he says; thrown together as gen eral waymarks on his journey of life: Never ridicule sacred things, or what oth ers may esteem as such, however absurd they taav apnear to you to be. Never show levity, whilst people are pro- fessedly eogaged in worship. Never resent a supposed injury till you know the views aud motives ol the author of it. Never on any occasion, to retaliate. Always take the part of an absent person, who is censured in company, so far as truth aud propriety will, allow. Never to think the worse of another on account of Lis differing with me in political aud religious opinions. Not to dispute with a man more than sev enty years of age, nor with a woman , nor an enthusiast. Not to affect to be witty, or to jest so as to wound the feelings of another. To say as little as possible of myself and those who are near me. To aim at cheerfulness without levity. Not to obtrude my advice unasked. Never to court tho favor of the rich by flattering either their vanity or their vice To speak with calmness and deliberation in all asse: tions; especially in circumstances which tend to irritate. Frequently to review my conduct, and note ray fceliogs. On alloocasions, to havo in prospect the end of life and te future state. ?TA Fwd Yarn A- western paper tells ofaijiuter who killed nine thousand snipes "4n"four shots, and the air was full of falling Vr.u f,ir K.vpi atdava. not to sneak of the great nr.,VAr rf rinrdf hobblloff RCC-lt tQC UULUVWt V VS - ' 0 ground A Comical Scene with an African Lady at ouarieston. Various amusing anecdotes are related of the poor Africams who were rescued from the slaver Echo by the TJ. S. brig,, Dolphin, duiiog their brief Eojourn in tho port of. Charleston. The following is said to have been a most comical scene. Among the Echo's living cargo, every one of whom, be it remembered, were iu the con dition in which they entered the world, aud uuder no obligation to the tailor's or maatu amakera' art, was a tnomaa who was distin guished from the rest by her evident natural brightness and superior looks. Moreover, she was dressed not, probably after tbe fashion of our Broadway belles but dressed different from her companion?, nevertheless; and like all true women, in such a condition; she felt and evinced her superiorty. She actually had on a pair of gloves, which she wore at all hours, with evident piida in her costume, and felt that she was in "full tags She was called par excellence "the Queen," and her story getting abroad at Charleston, some ladies requested and received permis sion for her to visit them, A loose dress was accordingly furnished her, to cover her other deficiencies of the article of clothing, and she was landed from one of the boats and conveyed to the house of a prominent resident of Charleston. There, the servant was or dered to dress the Queen in hoops, broad enough for a dame of.uppertendom, and flaun ting, gay dress. She was much astonished aad pleased with the dres3, but moie with the hoops.wbich she woud endeavor to catch as she turned round, aud uttering outlandish cries. She also exhibited some inclination constantly to examine more closely iuto the material beneath her outer dress but as gen tlemen were present, sha was pruieatly pre vented from gratify ypg this natural curiosity. After spending some hours ashore, she was conveyed to the beach by a number of her entertainers. The boat could not reach high water mark and lay some little distance out in tbe water. The Queen shook hands all rouiid with her friends, aad then going to the water's edge, surveyed the boat for an instant and after waving a last adieu suddenly hoisted dress, hoops, underclothes and all. like a huge sun bonnet over her head, aud quietly waided out to the boat, Thi3 reversal of the pur poses of clothing staitlcd the spectators, and there was a must sudden and laughable rusS from the beach. ; SPOT Tbe following poem, from the San Francisco Golden Era, is not only Homeric iu style, but complete iu itself, for it ends in the total annihilation of the combatants : ' Ou a pine wood shed, in an alley dark, whore scattered moonbeams, sifting through a row of tottering chimneys and an awning torn and drooping, fell, strode back and forth, with stiff aud tense-drawn muscle and peculiar tread, a eat. His name was Norval ; on yonder neigh boring shed his father fought the cats that came in squads from streets beyonJ Dupont, in bcarch of food aad strange adventure. Grim war was courted ; and twisted tail, and Fpino upheaving iu fantastic curve, and claws distended, ears flatly pressed against a head thrown back defiantly, told of impend ing strife. With eyes a-gleam and screeching blasts of war, and steps as silent as the falling dew, young NOrval crept along the splintered edge aud gazed a moment through the darkness down, with tail a-wag triumphantly. Then with an imprecation and a growl perhaps an oath in diiect vengeance hissed he started back, and. crooked in body like a letter S, or rather like a U inverscd. stood iu fierce expectaucy- 'Twas well. With eye-balls glaring and ears aslant, and open mouth iu which two rows of fabgs stood forth in sharp aud dread conformity, slow up a post from out the dark below a head appeared. A dreadful tocsin of determined strife young Norval uttered ; then, with a face unblanch ed, aad moustache standing stiait before his nose, and fail flung wildly to the passing breeze, stepped back in cautious invitations to the foe. Approaching the other, and, with prepara tions dire, each cat surveyed the vantage of the field. Arouud thoy walked, with tails UDlifted and backs high in air, while from . tiieir mouths, in a j -g droppe I Qf bate 53 . at in accents hissing witu consu- d brief but awful ficntences Thrice round the roof they went in circle, eaoh with eye upon the toe iutently bent ; then bidewise moving as is wont with cats, gave one lons-drawn, terrific, savage yaw, and buckled in. The fur flew. A mist of hair hung over the battle-field. High 'bore the din of pas sing wagons rose the dreadful tumult of strug gling eats. So gleamed their eyes iu frenzy, that to mo, who saw the conflict from a win dow near, .naught else was plain but fiery balls that moved in orbits most eccentric. An hour they struggled in tempestuous might, then faint and fainter grew the squall of war, until all sound was hushed. Then went I forth with lantern, and the field sur veyed. What saw I ? Si? claws one ear of teeth, perhaps a handful ; and save fur, nought except a soli tary tail. That tail was Norval's by a ring I krew't. Tbe ear was but we'll let the matter pass.

The scene was the front of a venerable hotel kept by "Bob Rus sell," who. with hi3 well known coulered ser vant "Dick," (thoroughly marked with the small-pox,) will not soon pass out of the mind of the eettlera of the State. Mr. F. was Attorney General of Ohio, and Mr. L. was chief clerk in the office of the Auditor cf State. The United States Court was in ses sion, a.id Mr. F. improved the opportunity to explain to a company of constituents in front of the hotel the circumstance of a claim which had accrued to the "Sullivan heirs," ic con sequence of tbe removal of the capital of Ohio from Chillieothe to Columbus. In the course of his remarks ho questoned the statements in the Auditor's books. Mr. L. at once pro nounced Lis statement a lie. "I cannot waive raok," Mr. F. "and fiht this man. As ho proceeded to reiterate his charges, Mr. L. pronounced him a second and a third time a liar, Mr. F becoming much excited, shouted " "My fellow-citizens, I have concluded to waive the question of rank and settle the mat tcr at once.' So, taking off his coat, he descended from the stand and immediately receive! a tremen dous "right-hander," which lodged him in a neighboring mud hole. Getting up. he rc- ceived a "settlor." which brought him tn Uarae spot. A tbird he came tQ the t h the when a well directed "eye blinder" from the sub Auditor caused him to turn a complete summer sault, and lodged him once more up on his mother earth. Turning his eyes around, under the im pression that he had fulfiled the utmost re quirements of the "code," and not desiring of performing any purely "meritorious" la bors, he addressed himself to his physical su perior, as follows: "Before rising from this position, sir, I de sire to ask you a question: Do you intend to strike me if I get up?" "Of course I do, d n you." ejaculated his excited adversary. "Then, sir, I'shall not get off my back!" The spectators among them, if we mis take not, the lion. T C and Judge S now interfered, and the beligcrants were sepcratod. Type Setting. A printer accustomed to set type, never thinks what the letters are which he is to put in his stick. He rever looks at one of them as they go in. But when he first began to set type it was a different thing with him. He looked and read. "xVnd as they departed thence," etc., and so began, "And," a; and then he had to see which end was up ' He puts in a, and then comes to x. He takes up the wroog letter ! He puts that back and gets the right one, and unking sure about it, puts ti.o right one io. Then he thinks there is a space wanted, and he divides tho word from the next one. Then comes the next word, aud he looks at the types letter by letter, and makes mistakes at that ! But go a year after, and let that man set up the same verse. "And as they de parted thence, Jesus began to say unto the multitude." to read all that, and then click! click ! click ! click ! it is all done ! What made that ! How those faculties of the hand the muscles all work! What an immense amount of trial aud discipline has been con densed into that automatic power I Fins is a wouderful element of humaupower: Hen ry Ward Jjccvltcr. T- -9 Sharp, SiiAurEa, Suap.pest.
