Crowing. BY HENRY WARD BEECHER. Can any man tell why a rooster crows, or upon what principles the in stinct acts as to times and seasons ? That crowing is sometimes the na ture of a challenge every observant man knows. If a strange cock comes into the neighborhood, and wanders near the precincts cf a barn-yard not his own, he will, at the first sounding of his horn, be answered back by cock aud cockerel, all over the farm, and unless he precipitately retreats, there will be a challenge and a fight We know, also, that, after two knights of the barn-yard have measur ed strength, it is never allowed to the vanquished to crow, while his conquer or fills the whole neighborhood with the news of his victory. Sometimes the weaker bird draws out of the fight, and sneaks off to a convenient distance, and then utters a protest against his antagonist’s arrogant pean. Nothing can excite such fuiy in the winner as this breach of faith. It is the duty of every knight of the tail feathers to fight till he falls dead—that being altogeth er the most approved course—or else, being vanquished, he must run for some corner, or get his head safely out of reach, and there, in silence, listen to his rival’s chant, and, at dusk, sneak off to his roost, and keep always there after at a safe distance from his mas ter. When, therefore, a mean-spirited rooster fights till his courage foils, then takes to his heels, it is his duty to hold his peace. He has ap right to express an opinion. Are not all rights trans ferred to victors ? A defeated rooster has no right to turn historian, and mislead the neighborhood as to the facts. Accordingly nothing seems to stir such a rage iu a triumphant cock as to hear its runaway antagonist bear ing false witness over the fence. Woe to him, if wings and feet do not speed ily put him out of reach! But the inward mood out of which much crowing proceeds is still to be considered. All night the rooster drowses and sleeps. Suddenly, at cer tain hours, without excitement, he shoots forth into the darkness a long shrill crow, which, from the stillness of the night, seems for louder than the day crow. Again and again, as dis tant answers come in, he renews the effort. Is it a dream that he is repeat ing? Or is he wound up, like an alarm clock, to go off at a given hour 7 Or are these duties imposed upon him by some gallinaceous superstition ? Equally strange is it, in the day time, to witness a discreet and faithful old fellow, who has been leading about his flock, crooning, scratching, calling, or warning, in a temperate and do mestic way, all of a sudden stretch himself up, flap his wings, and crow till the hills ring again. The act sets off a fusilade of crowing birds, north, south, east and west; far off and near, loud or faint in the distance. The original precentor listens a mo ment, and solemnly renews the declar ation, whatever it was or meant; the echo of answering birds fills the air.— Are they denials, or answer? In a few minutes tho responses end, and each bird returns to his scratching and pompous parading. That there is some supposed moral duty in this, act, seems to be corrobor ated by the conduct of an old Buff Cochin on my premises He has never shown a combative spirit. Indeed bis reputation for courage is very bad.— He shuns conflicts and smells danger from afar and hides himself. And yet he is very proud of his crow, and with as little reason, on account of any good qualities of voice, as can be conceived. But at due times, with great preparer tion, and much shaking of bis ponder ous and unshapely body, he emits a A Confidence Has la Wall Street. They are telling a good story on An drew V. Stout, the well-known presi dent of the Yew York Shoe and Leath er Bank. A few mornings since Mr. Stout was riding down in the cars, when he sot in suoh confidential prox imity to a sympathizing pickpocket that the latter was tempted into the acceptance of Mr. Stout’s pocket-book, containing valuable papers and 8150 in greenbacks. Then the pickpocket said good morning to Mr. Stout, and left On arriving at the hank Mr. Stout discovered his loss. He was astonish ed that he, a shrewd old New Yorker, should have had his pocket picked. “ Pshaw 1 he said to his secretary, “ no man could ever pick my pocket. I’m too smart for that.” But the pocket-book, with the mon ey and valuable papers, was gone and the next day Mr. Stout advertised in the Herald. He said if the person who took the pocket-book would re turn the papers ho would give him the money and 825 besides. The next day he got a confidential note from a party, who said a friend of hia had the pocket-book all safe, and that he would call at tho bank the next day to ar range the matter. The next day the man was at hia post. He told Mr. Stout that he would have to go with him a few blocks where the party who had the pocket-book awaited them.— So off they started—Mr. Stout and his honest friend—for the Centre restau rant. As they entered the restaurant, Mr. Stout’s friend told him to wait in the front room a moment, and he would go inside and see the man who had the pocket-book. In a moment he returned with the message that the man wouldn’t give up the pocket-book for 825; he wanted 835. “ But I only advertised to give 825,” said Mr. Stout, with an eye to busi ness. “ This is an extortion.” “ Well,” said Mr. Stout’s friend, “ Fll go hack and reason with him, and try to get the pocket-book for 825.” And he disappeared in the back room. In a moment he returned, smiling. “ Well, Mr. Stout,” he said, “ he will take $25, but he wants the money before he gives up the pocket-book.” “ All right,” said Mr. Stout, bland ly, “ here is $25. Take it to him and bring bac^t the papers.” “ One word, Mr. Stout,” said the man confidentially; “ this thing is to be strictly between ourselves. You will never ask any questions, tell any body, or seek further knowledge, will you?” “ No, never. I give you my word as president of the Shoe and Leather Bank not to say anything about it.” “ All right, then—mum is the word,” said Mr. Stout’s friend, as he passed into the back room with the money. Mr. Stoat waited patiently for his return—waited five, ten, fifteen min utes—but, alas! his friend never came bock, and the shrewd president return ed to the bank a sad and ruined man 1 He says his friend is welcome to the 825, but he wouldn’t have the story get into the newspapers or around among his friends for 810,000. He mys it wouldn’t be foif, for he promis ed—solomnly promised—his friend when he gave him the 825, not to men tion the matter. That was a beautiful idea expressed by a lady on her death-bed, in reply to a remark of her brother, who was taking leave of her to return to hi* distant residence, that he should prob ably never meet her again in the land of the li ving:—“ Brother, I trust we shall meet in the land of the living. We are, pow in the land of the dying.” A Wisconsin paper states that a little girl, eight years old, is begging the streets of Oshkosh, with a paper, which certifies that “ the bearer is a widow, with five children; in destitute circumstances.” Evergreens—Merchants who expect to make money without advertising.

If you say you don’t feel like work, and go a loaf ing all day to tell Dick and Hariy the story of your woes, you’ll lie awake and keep your wife awake by your tossings, spoil her temper and your own break fast the next morning, and begin to morrow feeling ten times worse than you do to-day.

It is not a patent medicine. It has proved its efficacy since first Adam aud Eve left behind them with weeping their beautiful Eden. It is an officinal rem edy.

Mrs. Ewell, wife of the Confederate General Ewell, after having spent many anxious days and nights at her husband’s bedside, was stricken down with the same disease from which he was suffering, and survived only three or four days. The loss of his wife caus ed a reaction in General Ewell’s disease, and his death speedily followed. Mrs. Ewell was the daughter of the late Judge Campbell, of Nashville, and was bom in St. Petersburg, while her fath er was the representive of this govern ment at the court of the Czar. The Louisville Ledger has this romantic narrative of the marriage of Gen Ewell: In early life there was a settled mel ancholy, almost bordering on morose ness, about General Ewell, which impressed his army friends with the belief that he had been the victim of some fickle false one’s heartlessness.— This, however, was not the case. He had scarcely attained his majority when he first met Miss Mary Polk Campbell, the lovely and accomplish ed daughterof Judge George W. Camp bell, of Tennessee, and mutual ad miration sprung up between the gallant young army officer and the fascinat ing belle, which soon ripened into love. But the fetes were not propitious.— The parents objected to the match so persistently the General Ewell, becora- ing piqued, did not press his suit so vigorously at the time os he would oth erwise have done. The duties of mili tary life carried him to the frontiers. Throughout all the stirring campaigns in which he bore a conspicuous part, he carried with him the image of his early love, dreaming, in the pauses of the battle, of the time when he might yet win from the unwilling hands of fame a distinction which should com mend him to tho father’s esteem. Meantime the daughter, with that high sense of honor peculiar to her race, and a filial devotion almost with out a parallel!, addressed herself as best she could to the meek obeervanccs of a dutiful life—ceasing to communi cate with, yet in secret cherishing, her heart’s one idol. Another won her hand, and in her twentieth year she married an estimable gentlemen and settled with his on a beautiful form near8pring Hill, Teunessee. A short time before the war she was left a widow, free to bestow her hand again on whom she would. But she had never forgotten her girlish vows.— Though all the stormy life of him who first wen her affections she followed, with her prayers and tears her idol— her hero—who wm winnii^ laurels on distant fields.

The Rich and Poor. What is wealth ? Wealth is what ever men can realize from Nature for their sustenance and enjoyment. La bor is what realizes • it. Prudence saves from it, and the saving becomes capital, which helps to extend nnd multiply the operations of labor, and thus creates more capital. The wealthy are composed of those who have inher ited property from others, those who have acquired it accidentally, and those who have realized it for themselves.— The poor, in likemanner, are composed of those who have inherited poverty from others, those who have become poor through accident, and those who have brought poverty upon themselves. The most familiar mode of producing poverty is by idleness. A man will not work; he realizes no wealth; he is of course poor. Or he squanders in some absurd manner the earnings which he does realize, and thus remains equally poor os if he did uot work.— The poverty arising from idleness will only he curable, as it has ever been, by industry. That which comes from wastefulness, will only he cured by economy. Pugnacity of Henry Clay. Some of the most conspicuous Whigs of Congress, becoming discontented with Mr. Clay’s imperious bearing and his determination to push extreme measures, agreed to meet at Gen. Scott’s rooms at the Hope Club for consulta tion. Mr. Clay was not invited to attend, nor was he apprised that the meeting was to be held ; but late in the evening the fact came to his know! edge. Returning from a whist party atBodisco’s, he knocked at Scott’s quarters, and was ushered into the room where the gentlemen were sit ting. A hawk in a dove-cot could uot have created greater consternation. He remained standing, declining a proffered chair. Glancing from one part of the room to another, and glow ering at everybody; present, he ex claimed in a loud voice. “ Treason 1 treason! and ia the middle of the night Play fair, Scott, play fair.”— And he stalked away paying no atten tion to the attempts at explanation or denials that anything seci ct or unfair was intended. Subseqentiy he was persuaded that the only object of the meeting was to consult upon the situa tion, and see if anything could be de cided to promote harmony in the party and avert the peril impending. Mr. Clay never forgave ihi gentle men who were instrumental in procur ing the nomination of Harrison. He was confident that he could have been elected by a large majority, and always distrusted the fidelity of such friends gum led Mr. Clay from the room, and there the affair ended for the time.— Some correspondence en-tusl. and serious consequences were apprehend ed, But friends interposed, and Mr. who was capable of magnani mous concession when conscious of be-fcj ing in the wrong, made a satisfactory apology.—TAe Galaxy for March. ^ A Plea Iter Big Boys. as had acquiesced in the selection of his rival.

There is not a piece cf.mischief p irfernal in the whole towmhip hut the big boys must hear the blame. Did ever a poor, forlorn school- marin enter a “ deestrict” with all in tents and purposes of teaching a model school, without lieing warned by all the committee men and their wives, and the majority of the inhabitants of said “ deestrict” Insides, that she must carry a pretty stiff hand if Mr. 's big 1 ovseame lo school, for they wen* a pretty hard set, nnd geiie’ly managed to break all the rules of gov’muut, and then the school would soon dwin dle down to nothing!” There is no doubt but that big boys can transgress often enough ; hut if the truth must he told, the fault lies with the heads of families. How of- tin is the big boy called a coward or a numskull, if he implicitly obeys the rules laid down by some specimen of gentle womanhood? In nine cases out of ten it is not the big boys who arc the instigators of all the trouble; but if one would take the jmin* it might be" readily traced to the old boys who, it is supposed, have long since sowed their wild oats. Listen to their stories and exploits performed when they were no older than the boys who are listening with eager ears, not only to the stories, but to the praises lie- stowed by their elders upon the rela tors for their wonderful deods—such ns filling a neighbor’s well with vari ous forming tools, during some dark night, reversing pumps, cutting har ness, tking out liuch-pins, stretching ropes across frequented reads, taking horses from stables to keep on the road, traveling miles from home, re turning them at dawn without thn knowledge of the owner, smoking out the school-master by covering the wide-mouthed olc?-fush:o.:d cl iinticy, possibly throwing down a roll of brim stone into tho fire below, thereby caus ing strangulation.

A card party given by Gen. Macomb was largely attended by tho most dis tinguished gentlemen in Washington. Mr. Clay came in at a late hour, leaning on the arm of Seuator Man- gum. As he entered the room his attention was attracted to a whist table that happened to be made up of poli ticians understood to be especially friendly to Webster and Scott. Among them were Edward Curtis, George Evoeiu, and Ogden Hoffman. Mr. Clay had been dining with a party of friends and was not in the most placid frame ot mind. Approaching these gentlemen, he broke out upon them as follows: “You manufacturers of pub lic opinion—you makers of presidents, who assume to control all mankind— what mischief are you now hatching ?” he spoke in a loud tone, and was heard all over the room. Gen. Scott came up at that moment, aud Mr. Clay turned upon him, accosting him in a sneering and insulting tone: “ And here’s the redoubtable General him' self. He was fool enough to suppose he could be made President of the United States,” at the same time put ting his hand notin the moet gentle manner on Scott’s shoulder. The Gen eral quite perturbed, shrank from the contact, remarking, “ You forget that is my wounded arm.” “ You are rotten all over,” was the reply. Mr. Man- Who is more willing to put himself out of his way to do another a favor ? who is more attentive to the wants of the needy ? Even. in the school-room big boys are of real service, in sustain ing, by their example, law and order, when properly managed by the teacher. Some one has said, “ give the Devil his duewe say, give big boys all the honor that is their due, and, do not think they are all the mirehief-makers in the world. Give them examples of true mauliuess, and they will not bo slow to follow iu the paths of recti- tude.
