The story goes, that a couple of Yankees Irov. elling South ran short of funds, nud resolved them selves into a committee of ways nnd moans for the purpose of effecting a “raise.” They determined to take advantage of the passion for shows which possessed our people in those days, witen the ele pliant, and rhinoceros, and lions, and monkeys, were being exhibited all over the country. One of this worthy couple, it was ugreed between them, was to peraonate a rare beast, for which they in- ! vented the name of Gyasculus ; while the other was to be keeper or “show.man”—to exhibit the said Gyasculus to the curious spectators, stir him up with a oticWjthrovr him his ‘Icvd, 1 tiiacuuisu uf his history, capture, qualities,&c. Accordingly advertisement was made at the next village, to the effect that a rare and interesting pecimen of animated nalure, called the Uyascu tus, would that night he exhibited to the enlight. ned and generous public of that town and vicinity This animal, il wusset forth, was captured on the Disputed Territory, where his species was found roving in the wilds of the Arostook, on the bunks of the Penobscot, and over the circumjacent hills ofthe Passamaquoddy—more foricious wild terrible than the Gnu, the Hyena, Ant-Buter of tho Afri can desert! Admiilunco 25 cents, children und servants half price. Curiosity wus on tiptoe. Every body crowded the door at the appointed time, where Jonathan llte Showman gravely received their quarters and dimes and politely bowed litem in. Across a corner of tho room wus stretched a stout rope nnd a curtain behind which was stationed Jona than the Gyasculus. The curtain did not quite reach the ground, and beneath it the curiosity of (lie spectators was tempted by a partial view of four horrible feet, which to less excited fancies would have borne a wonderful similitude ta tho feel and hands oi a live Yankee, with strips uf coonsktn sowed around his wrists nnd ankles ! VVitli pal pitating hearts they saw those big feel move und flap about, as the monster shook hia chain mutter ed his discontent in unearthly growls. The designated moment for opening the exhibi tion having arrived, and Jonathan having stowed a goodly amount of tho shining spoil in the big poc kets of his popper.nnd.salt coat, he stepped delib. crutoly up to tho curtain for the purpose of com moncing llte performances. ’’Ladies and gentle, men,” said he, "the Gyasculus is not only remarks, hie for tho singularity and ferocity of his appeur- mice, but for llte lorriblo tones ol his voice. Be. fore raising llte curtuin I will proceed to stir him up a little with this here stick, just to let you havo u specimen of the music with which he makes ins native wilds respond when angry, or uboul lo seize upon and run off with his unsuspecting prey.”— He accordingly disappeared—the stick was plied upon the Gyasculus—llte beast gave n few pre monitory grunts ; bat waxing in wrath, he begun to rattle liia chain like mud, and roar and growl in most hideous sort, to the unspeakably delightful horror lo all present. Expectation, mixed with n portion of apprehension, was wrought up lo a high pilch. When justnlthisjuncture, Jonathanjieaped out with a mighty bound—his eyes sorting with [oar—his limbs trembling in every joint—terror in all his looks—exclaiming, “Ladies and gentlomen —save yourselves !—the Gyasculus is loose !

Life at Saratoga.—All sorts ofjokesas well as amusements are prucliced at Saratoga. The New Haven Pulladium relates that the numerous friends at Congress Hull were thrown in consterna tion one Monday morning, during the season, by finding utter disorder introduced among their boots. There was in the entry perhaps a hundred rooms, and a9 many pairs of covering for the nether man placed there for the porters to embolish. After they Imd been put in attractive shape and returned to the doors, some waggish young ladies went to work undercover of darkness, and throw them in to almost inoxtricablo disorder. Boots were mnted with shoes, and one had two lefts, while another had two rights, wrongfully left at his door. Break fast was announced, and large number* were in tending immediately to leave in the curs. Tho scene which followed the boll-ringing can bettor be imagined than described. A gouty bachelor Smith) being key, the counseller attempted to give a good hu moreff turn to the affair: Why gentlemen of the jury,’aaid ho,’this is really a small affair; 1 won der any one would bring such a complaint into Court; if wo are going on at this rate, wo shall have business enough on our hands. Why 1 recol lect when I was in College that nothing waa moro common than to go out a foraging. We did not get the poultry too often in the sumo place, and there was no harm done, no fuult found.’ Not withstanding this appcul the jury convicted the pri soner. Alter tho Court rose, one of the jury a plain old farmer, meeting tho Counsellor, compli mented his ingenuity in the defence, ‘and now, Squire,’said lie, fixing a knowing look upon him, ‘I should like to ask you a question; which road do you lake in going home, the uppor or the lower ?’ ‘The lower,' unswored the Counsellor. ‘Woll, it’s no matter ; I only wanted to observe that if you were going my way, I would just jog before and lock up nty hen liuusc.’ Curious Titles of Old Books.—In the earlier history of the art of printing, writers—even religi ous writers—were not at all punctilious as tu tho titles given to their hooks. We find a few men tioned in the New York Evening Signal; a few others we quote from memory ; some of which aro Eoglish and some versions of tho French. ‘The Snuffers of Divine Love’—‘A Spiritual Mustard Pot, to make Soul Sneeze with divotion’ —‘The Capuchin Booled and Spurred for Paradise’ —‘A Shot nt the Devil between tho horns of Christ’s Alter’—’High Heol Shoes for Dwarfs in Holiness'—‘A pair of Spectnclos for Short-sighted Believers’—‘A Pump lo raise llte Wnters of Salva. lion’—A Flail to Thrash Wheat out of the Ungod- Desperate Remedy For a Desperate Disease. —They tell a good story of Dr. Rand, an English physician.

On entering tho room the lady exclaimed, •Dea.r doctor 1 I am glnd to see you—I am in such distress—such pain 1 Oh, doctor 1 have swallowed a mouse 1’ ‘Swallowed—nonsense,’ replied the doctor, in his mild and pleasant maimer. ‘Oh, uo, doctor,’ said tho patient, ‘it is not nonesnse—it is a mouse—a live mouse—he ran down my throat whets l was asleep witii my mouth open, and I feel him now creeping about my stomach, and trying to gnaw- out.

No one knew any thing about the difficulty or the origin of it, nnd while the vexed bi peds were comparing notes, and vending their speen upon the unoffending porters, tho cars left, and witii them, tho fair mischief makers. The Quakers and Tiistn Habits.—Acotempo. rary thus discourses of this quiet and unpretending sect. “Tlie Quukors, U9 a class, are tho richest unti tled people at present in England. They began their social forms, ceremonies and practices amid public contumely and biller persecution. They were poor nnd despised. But by an irreversible law of morals they havo prospered, ami are enrich, od not only with worldly profits, but with the high er tributes which a serene and sound conscience fields toils possessor. Amid the corruption, Irnud, violence and waste which havo surrounded them, they havo practised those austere virtues nud faith ful charities which are accordant with the essential pirit of Christianity. The particular techuniciil • morals of the day, such as temperance, pence, uni versal liberty, are among tlie organic principles of the Quaker The development of Quaker princi ples, as they were transplanted from Englund to thiscounlry.nre pre-eminently seen in the past his tory of Philadelphia. Its rapid growth during the last century surpassed that of Boston or New York, although they have precedence of il as to their time of foundation. In n departure from the social so briety and circumspection by which Philadelphia irospered, the citizens fell under the disgrace of oankruptcy and became the mark for malignant obloquy, losing in a few-years the proverbial repu. tation of a century. In tlie turmoil of an irraciblo popular temper, was here lost that well earned name for a calm, law.loving spirit which the city enjoyed when tho Quaker code wus dominant. If we wislt to attain to and maintain habitual prosperity and repute, wo have only lo itnitato the habits of Quakers. We would not tako tlie plain coat or tlie plainly furnished Imusc, but by avoiding the evils of improvidence, of bigotry, of hasty words and fierce acts, of an uncharitable temper, apd illib eral and unjust social relations, wo shall attain lo that point of dignity nnd prosperity wltich consti tutes the whole teachings of the ethical and politi cal code." Imprisonment for Debt.—In looking over an old book the other day, entitled “ A memorial ad- dressed to the Sovereigns of America, by T. Pow- neli, late Governor, Cuptain Go tie ra I, Vice Admi ral, &c.. or the Privlnccs, now Slates of Massachu setts Bay and South Curolina, and Lieut, Governor of New Jersey,” published at London in 1783, wo met witii the following passage on tlie subject of imprisonment for debt, which, it struck us, breathed sentiments in advance of tlie age in which be lived. Imprisonment for debt, is a direct solicism in pol icy, not relevant to tlie ends of distributive Justice, and contrary to every idea of the adruntuges which the community is supposed to derive, in some de grees or other, from every individual. Imprison ment cannot pay the debt ; is a punishment tliul makes no distinction between criminulity, or tlie misfortune which may have occasioned the debt. The gin ring injustice of this punishment hath led to to two retnedinl Laws, the Statutes of Bankruptcy and Stulutes of Insolvency, which are sources of endless frauds. Tho locking up tiio debtor from all means of labor or employment, in robbing llte community of tbo profit of that lubor or employ ment which might be produced, is making the debt or a burthen to hia creditor and llte public. If any fraud or other criminality appears amongst the can- ses of tho debt, or if it had boon occasioned by an undue course uf living above llte circumstances of the debtor ; correct the vicious FollieB, punish tho fraud. But taking the debtor, simply as a debtor, pity bis misfortunes; do justice, nevertheless to the creditor." Mr. Pownell (Thomas) was appointed Governor of Massachusetts in 1757. “He arrived in Boston tlie beginning of August,” says Elliot’s Biograph ical Dictionary, “and immediately received to his confidence tlioso gentlemen who were stiied friends to liberty and the Constitution of llte Province.” He however became unpopular and solicited a re call, and was appointed successor to Gov. Littleton of South Carolina. He left Boston for England on 3d of May, 1700, and soon alter became a mem ber of the British Parliament, where he Imd much influenco from bis knowledge und exporiencu in in American affairs. Ho died Feb. 1,1785. The following, for which we are indebted lo the Picayune, is about tlie richest scheme for tlie an nexation of Texas to this Union thnt - .ve have yet come athwart ? The man who suggests it should have a premium. He is no ordiuury genius, that is clour. Further, we think our puissant President ought to be on the qui vice iu view of such bloody- mindudnoss on the part of tlie firo.oattng « lotto star” Chivalry ! “A Texan army awfully arrayed” on our borders would be terrible indeed ! Whore is Quattlebum T A Stohji Brewing—A writer in tho Mutagor. da (Texus) Despatch, in unfolding the true policy of tho Republic, urges tiio necessity of an immedi- ate declaration of war against tiio United States. This courso, be thinks, by compelling this Govern, menl to invudo and conquer Texas, would secure annexation—tlie drift und purpose ofthe sago ou. thor’s lucubrations. Tlie necessity of an inunedi. ate declaration of war against the United States is insisted upon to prevent violent nnd belligerent pas. sions having time to tuke possession of tlie minds and hearts ofthe people of llte respective countries. Without stopping to debnlo tlie position of tiio wri ter, it mU9t be confessed thnt tlie idea of declaring war, as a measure to preserve tlie good understand ing und brotherly love of tlie parties engaged in it, is one which challenges lire consideration of the 'Society of Friends,” who, it is to be apprehend- poems, ns titey separately appeared.

The bust of tlie hero was well painted, and the likeness tolerably well preserved. Near it wuro the Three Sisters, one of whom ap peared lo he occupied in spinning the thread of his life—tlie second in winding it—and the third was withheld by the strong arm ol Genius of Immortali ty from applying to it llte fatal shears—while fame from her adamantine rock, snutches the thread, and heurs it off into eternity.
