A MOSQUITO STORY* The mosquitoes down on the Mississippi river are stipjs.sed to be rsther large, and tolerably ferocious. 1 am not prepared to believe the story of the man who came to look for his cow one day, end fmind the sXel eton on ?he ground and a large mosquito on the adjacent tree picking his teeth with one of the horns. But I will say that it would take a man gifted with considerate imagina tion to exaggerate the prowess of these South ern swamp mosquitoes. We were discussing them one night in a hotel in New Orleans, when one gentleman told the following annec dote : There was once a man in the city who in sisted that he was mosquito proof, and who offered to lie down in the worst place that could be found and let mosquitoes bite him for an hour for ten dollars. My friend hear ing him make the offer took him at his word, and with several others they both started off for a nice ma r shy place between the town and Lake Pontchatrain—a regular mosquito par adise. Arrived on the ground the mosquito chap took off his shirt and coat, and lay down •>n his face* The insect* came in crowds, lighted on his hack, ami ihe biting commenced. If the man •enriched then he would loose his ten dol lars ; even squirming was prohibited*— But be stood it like a Trojah j didn't give ut u-rance to a single grunt. Half an hour pass ed. The ground ail ar<>und was covered with gorged in->*quitoes, who had sucked until they wen- a* drunk a* judge*, and were stag g. ring ahuiri in a ui at discreditable style.— A quar'er of an hour ensued j utore intoxica ted sucker-, a .d the uian as unmoved and in uiffereiit as a log. Suddenly one of ihe gen ileuien took two or three strong pulls at his cigar, and then chucked it on the mosquito chap's back. First he wir.ced, and then he squirmed, then he yelled and scrambled up. " I have come across a considerable nuin b r of mo-qupoes in my life," he remaiked, scratching M ith one hand and working into tns shirt at the *atuc time, hut I assure you, gent linen, I never -ee a mo-quitu like that la-fore. He wa*n'i much to hum, gent'emen,' t e comimied ; but M b-n it comes to biting" gentlemen, tint nio-q 1110 was a snorter." lie lost Ins teli dollars, and went home giumbling that then he made that 'ar bet he hadn't calculated on 110 bumble bees bt-ein smuggled in—Haiper's Magazine. A SURE ROAD TO A COMPETENCY, ; Not one nißn in five hundred will make a 1 fortune. But a competency and an indepen. j dent posit ion is within the reach of most men. This 1* obtained most surely by indus try and economy. If a man has ordinary tol ents ard ability, in any profession or trade, he can, by pnrsuetng au economictl perseve ring course, be pretty 6ure of finally obtaining an independent position in life. Let hts ex penses fall below his income. Lei him live cheep, very cheep if necessary j but let him be sure and make his income more than cov er hts expenses. It can be done in allmoat all cases, notwithstanding the positive denial of evet so many houskeepers. A man may not have more than two or three hundred dollars a year, and may have a family as large as that of John Rogers, and he can find away to live comfortably, and lay up something in to the bargain. There is much, nay all in knowing how the thing is done. And that is the thing people who are going to make mon ey have got to learn. It is wonderful how few real wants we have, and how little it takes to give genuine happiness. If we could get rid of our artifi cial, senseless and expensive way of living, wc should find ourselves better off in purse, in prospects and in heart. Let any one who has any ambition to go ahead in life, try the experiment this year, and see how much there is in economy. Make your expenses les3 than your income, and see how much you will have gained not only in money, but in the feeling that you are in the condition which the vankees denominate "forehanded" Try it. A physician took a young student to see a patient who was confined to his bed. "Sir," said the physician to the aick man, "you have I teen imprudent; you have eaten oys tcts." The patient admitted that he had. Return ing hotne, the student asked the doctor how he discovered that the man had eaten oys ters. "Why," replied the doctor, "I saw the shells under the bed." A few day* after, the student was sent to visit the s "tne patient. He soon returned however, saying th&t be had been kicked out of the house for telling the patient he had been imprudent ; he had eaten horsfiesh. "Ho'sflesh, you young fool ! what do you mean ?" cried the doctor. "Because, sir, I saw a saddle and a pair of stirrups under the bed." 11.1 w we printers lie, as our devil said when he got up too late for breakfast.

Thus it hi that,'in early English history, persons who wefre"con demned to death by being pre ranted from sleeping, always died raring maniacs ; that it is, also, that those who are starred to death become insane } the brain is not nourished, and they can wot sleep. The practical Infer ences are these: 1. Those who think most, who do moat bratn work, require most sleep. 2 That time saved from necessary sleep ia infallibly destructirc to mind, body, and es' tate. 3. Gire yourself, your children, your sir rants—gire all that are under you, the fin est amount of sleep they will take, compell ing them to retire at some regular hour, and to rise the moment they wa*e j and within a fortnight, nature with almost the regularity of the san, Will unloose the bands of sfafep, the moment enough repose has been secured for the wants of the system. This ia tha only safe and efficient rule j and as to the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a role for himself. Nature will her er fail to write it out to the obscrrer under the regulations just giren. *• 1 M MODERN ECONOMY OP TIME. The Scientific American thus shows how time has beed economized by the application of machinery : "One man can spin more cotton-yarn now than fnen colnd hare done in the same time in 1769, when Arkwrigbt) the best cotton spinner, took out the first lat ent. One man can make as mnca flour in one day now as a hundred and fifty could a cen , tory ago. One woman can inakc as much lace in a day as a hundred women could a hundred years ago. It now requires only as many daya to re fine sugar, as it did months thirty years It once required six months to pot quick silver on a glass; now it needs only forty minutes. The engine ofa flrst-rate iron-clad frigate will perform as tnnch work in a day aa forty two thousand horses." MATERNAL TENDERNESS. —Women are gen ecally cited by philanthropist as moduli of tenderness and aiiection. This incident from the Worcester Sentinel, furnishes the com munity another example of her devotednaas ; —"Not long since a number of condemned criminals were led out of prison to the ,p)aca of execution. One of them fouad his mother waiting to see him at the door, and lowing conversation took place : , "Where are you going my boy 7" "To the gallows, mother." . "Well my dear, be a good boy, and don't b hanged in your Sunday suit; give i| to me your every day waistcoat is good enough to be hanged in !" Excellent mother. ~ A CHAP who had been paying his "distre e?" to a girl for sora? tima, without daring to *• p<\p the question, " finally one evening "mado his passion known. Much to his sur prise she refused him. Becoming wrathj, he told htr in no very choice terms that there was as good fish in the sea as ever caught. "Yes," she replied, " but they don't bite at toads I" t An English writer says in his adviec to young married women that their mother Eva married a gardner. Som old bachelor!was mean enough to reply that the gardener, in consequence of the match lost his situation. A soldier, gaining his knowledge of milita ry phrases entirely from his own experience, gives the following definition of "Pickets? " "These are chaps that are sent out to horry terbacker of the inimy' and see if the rebs. has got a pass." cy Senator Cowan, of this State, has purchased a mansion on Capitol Hill, In Wa shington, and it is understood that he intends to practice law in the Supreme Court. .— ,I Kindness is a language that even dumb brutes can understand.
