William C. Bennett wrbits a lor•/Pt Making Oneself Uncomfortable. Miss Patience had - a habit which was in accordance with her name, for it was the habit of etulerance. It was •a failing that leaned to virtue's side, and" beyond it. She lived -in the remote and: the future. The present with. her was never any thing but a make-shift, a mere temporary expedient till better times., Distance not only lent en chantment to , her objects of pursuit, but was - at Alutely -the only charm to which she was rsomutive. She really liked Mr. Jones:al-• most up to the hour of his proposal; she meekly tolerated him ever, after. They were at boarding for a time, and the wife said submissively to all her friends : " 0, yes, it is very comfortable for the pres ent, until we c feel-able ; to-keep house." Mr. Jones, after the remark - had been reiterated for the fiftieth time, asserted that he was able to keep house.- -To prove this, he en gaged and furnished a tasteful tenement, and another year say Mistress , Pati ence'the tient inistinis of lei own fireside. " What a pleasant situation," said Dame Grundy, as she called on a tour of inspec tion. " Why, yes," returned Mrs. Jones, " it is all we can expect in a house we hire. If we were to build, we should plan very dif ferently, of course. And then, you know, one could have the heart to make improve ments in shrubbery and fruit-trees. 0, Mrs. Grundy, I hope to livelongenough to have a house of my own." „, Mr. Jones was well-to-do and good-na tured. Moreover he was a little obtuse, as we have seen, and he did not perceive that something to put up with is with most of us a practical necessity. So he said, very gen erousli, " Mfg. Jouae, about another year you shall have a house of your own."' "'I am afraid you cannot afford to build . such a house as I would like." " I can, and I will. You shall modify the plan yourself, or draw a new one, if you prefer." Mrs. Jones sighed, " Ruin take so long in building;" and from that hour every re-' tional enjoyment was deferred until they should get into their new dwelling. There were the usual delays and disappointments, and Mrs. Jones' love of endurance was fully gratified; she ,was regaled with "a linger ing sweetness' long drain Ont." At length - the house was built and furnished; the grounds laid out and 'Anted, and the wheels of the new establishment fairly in motion. Moreover, by rare good luck, there was very little to alter or undo; most of the arrange ments were desirable, and the experiments successes: ' • " I hope, my dear," said Mr. Jones, bey nevolently, " that we are in a position to take comfort." " If we ever get settled," assented Mrs. Jones, with a sigh. Well, years rolled and they were set.. tied. The flowers bloomed, and the fruits ,ripened.. The turf thickened, into velvet, and the trees grew tall and cast a welcome shade. Strangers paused to admire the premises as they passed, and neighbOrs paid their various tributes of envy and admira tion. Mr. Jones smoked, his prime cigars in the back piazza, and grew to look portly and .contented.: Not -SO Mrs. Joues. To . alt.the encomiums, lavished upon her resi dence, 'she replied; submissively, " Yes, it'a a pretty place, but we don't, know who we . built it for. We have no, children to come after us, and are just putting up improve ments for strangers to pull down. ' Was ever a woman so favored of an 'in: dulgent fortune a' year from the utterance of this remark, Mrs. Jones was the happy—no, the-patient mother of e real ? :'.genuine, hones; who had with difficulty` from happinese before, was uncontrollably jubilant now. The boy was healthy, and handsome ' and bright. There was no mistake about him • ;he,"-was a fixed fact, ester:of thefirst magni tude. lie had wants, it is true, for which the father was intensely, thankful, for to gratify and prevent them was, his 'supreme delight. And.the mother?..Alas hers were all a mother's cares, anxieties and forebodings. Until he was weaned, she' scarcely left the house, or indulged in the Simplest luXixries of-diet. Them-there was the long period of teeth-cutting, during which her maternal apprehensions were sever appeased. Then 'she lived in fear et the measles, whooping cough and scarlev 4ever, until the youhg `hero met and conquered them all. Regrew • round and rosy, and she thin and anxious, but atilt unalterably patient. ,At,:school she feared he might study too much, or too little and as her fears were;pretty equally divided between- the two- perils, it is pre sumed that — he 'avoided both. Them she had a general misgiving lest .l be should be spoiled; and froin y too much petting at home, become an indolent and - useleis - member of society., But, though"the reader `may share her feaficin this regard, Master Jones falsi fied them all.

Can't you see it ? We've been having it all along." "It maybe so with you, Mr. Jones, but I have never been free from anxiety for a minute in my life." "And never will be, my dear," returned the husband, as he shook the ashes from his cigar. "It is positively your strong point, and I have quite an admiration for your skill in it: 'You-will find More to subrait ,to in , any given circumstances, ,than> any woman I have -ever known." Mrs. Jones raised her eyes to - her hus band in meek surprise. She forgave him, and was silent.--Siringfielei Republican. glistellanertus. That same of our non-military readers may the more understandingly read the news 'of the times, it may be well'to ex plain some of the: terras , in frequent use. A regiment"l6 composed of ten compa nies, and, as such, has for its officers, a Col-* onel; lieutenant-Colonel, and Major. to company is a body or soldiers number ing; in general, from,sixty-four to one hun dred men. Hence, the number of men in a regiment may'vary from 640 to 1,000, or more. The chief officer of a company is a Captain. A squadron has reference more to posi tion than the number of men composing it. Troops on land formed in a square are called a squadron. This use of the term is not so general as heretofbre. In naval matters a squadron is a number of ships detached from the fleet for a'speciflo duty. A brigade -of infantry, or foot soldiers, consists of from four to six battalions, numbering each from 500 tot 1,000 men. In cavalry, a brigade is composed of from eight to ten squadrons. A brigade is en titled to a Brigadier-General. A division is a portion of an•army com manded by a Major-General, comprising cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and has two or more brigades in it. Artillery is a term applied to heavy pieces of warfare, of every description, with the implements and materials neces sary for use. The cannon in general use are called guns, howitzers, columbiads and mortars. Guns are long cannons without chambers. The Dahlgren gun, is so named, from its in ventor, and its peculiarity is its great size about the breech, thereby diminishing the liability of bursting. A howitzer is a chambered piece of larger calibre, than a gun of like weight. It is used to project large shells; is well adapted for ricochet fire, the destruction of field works, breaking down palisades and setting fire to buildings. The Paixhan gun is a howitzer of long bore, so named fiom its inventor. It is used to throw shells at long distances. A columbiad is a gun of still larger bore than the howitzer, and is used for throwing either solid shot or shells. A mortar is the shortest cannon of all, yet with, a very large calibre. :Its great ad vantage is in throwing vertical shots, dis mounting the enemy's aitillery, setting fire to and overthrowing works, blowing up magazines, breaking through roofs of bar racks, etc., thus making. disorder among troops. The sawyer, Parrott, a,,nd 'Ar2nstrortg guns are rifled cannon, named after their in ventors. The Armstrong loads at the breech. . • A battery is a term employed to desig nate one Cannon or more, also, where the guns are served. A field battery generally consists of four guos and two howitzers, or more. In the present war, artillery seems to be more in demand than in previous contests. A caisson is an ammunition-chest or wagon. In fortificationq guns are said' to be on barbette when mounted on the plat form or roof of the fort. A casemate is a vault in the masonry of a fort, in which is a place for a gun or more to be fired through a port-hole. Grape-shot is a cluster of small shot, sometimes confined in a canvass-bag, whose 'diameter is the same as the bore of the gun into Which it is placed. Ohain-shot is made by uniting two balls or half-balls bra: chain. A bomb-shell, is a hollow globe of iron, filled With powder or sulphur and bullets, and ignited by 'a fuse at the time of firing the gun. The time of the explosion can be regulated from one to three or four seconds after the shell is sent from the gun. Rifles and, muskets are called small-arms ; swords;pistols, and tooth. picks ' side-arms. The Minis rifle takes its name from Lieut. Minie, of the French army. Its peculiar ity is not in the form of the gun, but in the conical form of the ball and its having a cavity at the base. • • The Enfield rifle is so -named from the place of its manufacture. The barrel is thirty-nine inches long, and is rifled with great care. It, or any other rifle, may be used for a itlinie ball. - A carbine is a `short rifle or musket{ for: merly used by light-horsemen and. dragoons. It has been displaced, to a great 'extent, by the pistol. Each regiment has, besides its fighting officers, a Surgeon and Assistant-Surgeon, Chaplain, and Quarterrnaster, who may, or may not, join in the fray, when the deadly strife begins, as they see proper. his the - Quartermaster's duty to provide quarters and transportation for' the army, storage and transportation for .111 supplies, army _elothing, camp and 'garrison 'equipage,"ekv! airy and artillery horses, fuel, forage, and stationery. And then the Paymaster' is ever• welcome. It is his' duty to take charge of the Government money, and pay to officers and soldiers their waaes.----Herald. As the exact and official returns of the Census are being made public . , we behold more clearly the.precise march and direction of the population whiali has been filling, during the last ten years, .the unoccupied territory of the Union. Its grand and 'main course is Westward, with some cur rents to the North-west and) some to ;the South-west. The flood - of population over some of our' new States in the far-West, has probably never been equalled in . the history of emigration, both in the charae r ter of the emigrants and in the numher placed upon new soil, where before were the 'animals of. the prairie and the forest, and, the rovinglndian.

The census reveals a , steady stream of negroes from the seaboard toward the South-west. Virginia retains her old preeminence as the breeder , of, slaves ~:for market, in which noble occupation she is apparently closely followed by South Caro lina, while the •States whiVier-this disgust ing traffic-tends,- are - ArkansasrMississippi, and especially Texas. The, average increase of the slaves is moderitqly large, or 2342 per cent The;re is'aleg in but two States, Delaware ( of 21.48 per cent.,) and Mary land (3.52.) The increase in - Virginia is only 3.88 per cent., and in South Carolina s.2B—this small advance evidently, reault ing from exportation'. Kentucky, too, shows an increase of but 4.87 per'cent., the last decade, which gives a most- grat,ifying prospect of.•the destiny of the system in Kentucky, as it is believe& no very impor tant numbers have been exported during the last ten years from • that State. North Carolina only exhibits an advance of 14.74; and Tennessee of 15.17 per cent. Mis souri presents a larger increase than was expected—namely, 31.51. The; great in crease is in Texas, where it reaches over two hundred and ten, 1)41' cent„ ( 210.66 ; ) in Arkansas it is 135.89, and, in. Florida, 57-.09, in Mississippi, 40.93. In two States only are the slaves more numerous than the whites;: in South lina, where they number 402,541; against 291,623- of the-white- inhabitants, -and-in Mississippi, being 436,696 to 353,969 whites. Their largest nUmber in any one State is in Virginia, (490,8870' and the next is Georgia, (462,232.) • In th. Territories there are ten slaves enumerated in Nebraska, twenty : four in New Mexico, and twenty-nine in Utah. The District of Columbia shows a loss' of slaves of 13.72 percent,. Among the free coloied population the increase is very small through the Union---,- only 10.68 per cent. Their largest numbers are to be found, as usual, in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Little valua ble, in 'a statistical point of view, is to be extracted from the tables of this popula tion, as the diminution from banishment or emigration cannot be distinguished from that arising from natural and regular causes. The theory sustained recently by an able statistician in Washington—Mr. Weston— that the free negro inevitably diminishes on this Continent, is not yet sufficiently con firmed by facts to be admitted as a satis factory scientific' hypothesis. The race un doubtedly dies out in climates not adapted to it—as, for instance, in die Northern States ; but whether it decays in freedom in the Middle or outhern laticudes, does not yet fully appear. In many of the Southern and Western States there are laws expelling the free negro, and their decrease, observed in those , States, during the 'last decade, may be due to thele extraneous causes. Their largest increase in a slave, State, is in Georgia '(18.01 per cent. ;) in Alabama, 16.11; in Georgia, 12.04:..The greatest decrease, in • Arkansas, 77.47. Greatest increase in a free State; in Minne sota, 487.18 per cent. In New-York; they lose 218 per cent; It will probably be many , decades before we shall show such a rapid growth of num bers as in the last. The next census will, 'no doubt, reveal new: currents and new di- , motions in our populatiOn. Instead of streams from East to West; we may Olen' have many from North to South, and new' results to chronicle in regard 'to the move- , ments or decrease of the black population. —New- York Tinsea. he Sea Water is as indispensable to all life,. whether vegetable or' animal, as is the air' itself. From the cedar on the mountains to the lichen that Clings to the wall; from the mastodon that , pastures on the forests to the animalculm that "float in the sun , . beani; from the leviathan that heaves the, sea into billows, to the microscopic- crea tures that swarm a.million in a single foam, drop; all alike deriend for their existence on this single element, and must perish if it be withdrawn. But this element of water is supplied entirely by the sea. All the waters that are in th(Tivers, the lakes, the fountains, the vapors, the dew, the rain, the snow, come alike out of the . ocean. It-is a common impression that it is the flow of the rivers that fills the sea. It is a mistake. It is ,the flow of the sea that fills the rivers.. The streams do not make the ocean, but the ocean makes the streams: We saY;thel the rived like, in the mountains and'ran to the 'sea, but-the truer statement is, that the rivers - rise in the see and run - 'to, the .Mountains;"and that their passage thence is only their homeward journey to the place from which they started. All the water in the rivers has once been-in the.clonds; and the clouds are, but the condensation of the invisible vapor that floats in the air; and -all this vapor has' been lifted into the air by the heat', of, the sun playing upen,the..oeean. Mest persons have impression of 'the amount of water which, the ocean is con tinually pouring into the sky, and which the ,sky is - Seliding down-in-'showers to refresh thewearth. , If they were told that there is a river above the clouds equal in size to the Mississippi - or the Amazon ; that this river is drawn out of the sea more than a mile high, that, it is• alwayerfull of water, and that It is More than twenty-five thousand miles in length, reaching clear round the, - 4 globe, theY'would.callilt a very extravagant assertion. And yet not only is this assertion substantially true, bin, very much more than this is true. If all the waters, in the sky were brought into one channel; they would make a stream more than fifty times as large as the Mississiipi :or the Amazon. How many riversg-re there in the sky ? Just as many as there are on the• earth. If they were not first in .the sky, how could• they be on the earth? If it is the sky that keeps them full, then • the-sky must always have enough to keep must them full; that is, it always be`pouring down into them just as much as they them selves are pouring down into the sea. It, is computed that the water which falls from the clouds year,would cover the whole earth to the depth of five feet.; that is r if the earth were a level plain; it would spread over,it an, ocean of water, five feet,deep, reaching roUnd the whole globe. . The sky, there fore, has, not only a river of water, but, a whole ocean of it. And it has all come out of the sea. The 'sea; therefore, is the great „inexhaustible fountain which is continually' ,pournig-up into' the-sky precisely - as - many streams,' and as-.large,.as , all the rivers of the 'world are...pouring into it. It is this which keeps the ocean at the same level from year to Year. If it were not sending off into:'the air precisely as much ss it re ceives from.theriVers, it would be . contin ually rising on- its shores, and would finally overflow all the land's of the earth. And nowl the-'ssea is 414 Igri Tlace of the clouds and ,the-,rivers; , if- out of it come all the rains and ds'ica bfFheaven, then instead of being, :a *tote and an in onnibranee,it its a iiast fountain...of fruit- MEI fulness, .and the' nurse: and.mother of all the living; ~,Out of h its mighty breasts come the .resources that feed and support all the population of the world: Allfeities, -nations, and continents. of men all cattle and creeping things ind'flying,fowl, all the insect race, that' people the ,air, With'their million tribes innumerable, all grasses, and grain that yield food for man and for-beast, all flowers that brighten the earth with beauty, all treerof 'the field and forest that shade, the plailie.w4h their lowly drooping, or that lift their banners of glory against the , sky as 'they march over a thousand hills— all these wait upon.; the-sea, that they may receive their teat in due season. That which it, gives theta they gather. It opens its hand and they; are filled,with food. If it hides its fee°, they are troubled, their breath is taken away, they die and return to their dust. , . - Omnipresent 'mild everywhere, alike is this need and blessing of' the sea. It is felt as trulyin the centre a the continent, where, it may be,the rude' inhabitant never heard of the ocean, as it is on the circum ference of the wave-beaten shore He is snrrounded, every moment, by the presence and bounty of the sea. It is the sea that looks out upon him from every violet in his (Parden-bed • from - every spire of grass that drops iipon his visaing feet the bea.ded. dew of the morning; from - the rustling ranks of the growing corn ; from the bending grain- that fills , the arms of the reaper; from the juicy globes of.' gold and crimson that burn amongst the green orchard foliage; from the bursting presses and . his barns that are filled with !Nulty ; from the bread forehead of, his cattle, and the rosy Japes of his children; from the'bool-dropping well at his door; from the brook that murmurs by its side, and front the elm and spreading maple that <wave their protecting branches beneath the sunyand swing their breezy shade* overlidhabitation. It is the sea fee& him., It 'is the sea that clothes him. It is the sea that cools him with the Summer cloud, and that , warms him with the blazing fires of Winter. 'He eats the sea, he drinks the sea, he Weirs the sea, he ploughs and sows and ream:the sea, he buys and sells the sea, and makes wealth for himself and his children-out Of its rolling waters, though he lives a thousand leagues away from the shore, and hal never looked on its crested beauty or Ifstenedto its eternal anthems. Thus the sea is not a waste and an in eumbrance. Though it bears no harvests on its' bosom, it . yet sustains all the har vests of the world. Though a desert itself, it ~makes all the other wildernesses of the earth to bud and blossom as, the rose. Though its own' , waters are= salt , And worm wood, so that it cannot be tasted, it makes all the clouds of heaven to drop with sweet ness, it opens springs in the valleys and rivers among the k lls, and fountains in all dry places, and _gives drink to all the in habitants of the earth.--Bibliotheca.

Having settled his affairs, he went to his friend for the money eonfided•to his keeping; the latter was so base, as to ex press surprise, and to, deny havingreceived any money. Our poor friend froin fhe country, whom we will call Mr. Frankheart, was almost in despair, but he went and told his case to- a magistrate of great ability. The magistrate asked' Frankheart- if he had taken any receipt, or if there had been any witness . to "the transaction. Frankheart answered, that as he had no suspicion of the man he believed to be his friend, he had -not taken any'receipt, and that,the Only-witness-Nes the knave-s own wife. After a little reflection, the. magistrate told Frarikheart to step into an inner room, and he then sent for the man who had played so treacherous a part. On his arrival, the magistrate thus ad dressed him: " I understand that you have received as a deposite a large sum of money, and that you refuSe.to restore it to its right owner." The man's only answer was a denial of the accusation. " Well," replied the magistrate, "let us suppose you innocent; but, in order to convince me of it, write to your wife (who is 'said to have been a witness to the trans action) the letter I am about to dictate to you .., • "''My beloved wife—l beg of you to give the bearer of this letter the sum, which, about a fortnight ago, you saw Mr. Frank heart confide to my care.. I am about to restore it to him.'" All resistance was in vain. The letter was written, and was closely examined by .the inagistrate, see‘that it contained the preceding words, and no others. In a very short space of time the messen ger returned with the sum of money which "Mr. Frankheart had confided to his faith less friend. Theatter "'convicted of dishonesty, threw himselfVh'fs knees before the magistrate, who r'eprilianded him most severely, and to increase his shame and confusion, called in Mr. Vranitheart, the friend he had treat ' ed so - basely. , • Commander Stringkam went into the Navy in 1809, and has been in-thee service fifty one yeirs, twenty-one of which have been at sea: He, therefore, is probably upward of sixty years of age.

MECHANICS, FARMERS & WORKING MEN. THE attention of the enterprising and industrious poi.. non of the community is directed to tho following statements and liberal Inducements offered them by the ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY, which, as they will pomeive, will enable them, by pro per energy, perseverence and industry, to provide com fortable homes for themselves and families, wit!), com paratively speaking, very little capital. LANDS OF ILLINOIS. No State in the Valley of tho Mississippi offers so great an Inducement to the settler as the State of Illinois.— Thom is no portion of the world where all of the condi tions of climatwartd soil so admirably combine to pro duce those two great staples, Coati and WET, as the Orairies of Illinois. THE SOMCMM EMLT Of tbe State lies within the acme of the cotton regions, wn le the soil is admirably` adapted to the growthof tobacco and hemp; and the wheat is worth from fifteen to twenty cents more per bushel than that raised further north. BIM ROLLING PRAIRIE 'LANDS The dcopvich loam of tbd prairies is eultlthtted with such wonderful facility that the farmers or the Eastern and Addle Slates are moving to Illinois ht great num bers. The area of Illinois is about equal to that of Ettglatid, and the soil is so rich `that it will suppOrt twenty millions of people. EASTERN Md) MiIJTIERES MARKETS These lan4rare contiguous to a railroad 700 milei in length, which connects with other roads, and naviga ble lakes and rivers, thus affording an ;unbroken cot= mmiication with the Ihstern Cnd Southern markets• APPLICATION OF-CAPITAL: Thai far, capital and labor have been applied to de veloping the soil; the great resources of the State . an coal and ton are almestuntouched. The invariable rule that the mchanical arts floUrish best ;where food and fuel'are cheapest,- will follow at an early day In Illinois, and In ithe course of the next ten years the natural laws and necessities of the case warrant• the belief .that at , least dye hundred thousand people will be • engaged in the State of Illinois in various- , manufacturing :em ployments. • RAILROAD gYSTEX OF ILLINOIS Over 5100,000000 of private capital have been ex pended on the railroad system of Illinois. Inasmuch as part of the income from several of these works, with a valuable public fund in lands, go to diminish the State Expenses, the TAXM ARE LIGHT, and must, conse quently every day decrease.
