Shawlism.
15v request, we extract from the Jack
sonville Hatchet, the following rebuke
of the propensity of man to steal the
livery of woman :
“ I want to tell you what a woman
thinks of the shawl-wearing rage just
now possessing so many of our men.
‘• Talk of women weaving the breech

else to wear, from p.es nt appearance o .'

A Billion.
How ea»y it is to say a billion—how
easy it is to write a billion—but can you
count, a billion ? Why not? Stop a bit.
Suppose you count 200 in ono minute.
That is 12,000 in one hour. That is
in one day, and 105,120,000
iu one year. Hut this would not, allow
a single moment for sleep or for any
other business whatever. To count a
billion it would require 9,512 years, 34
dajs, 5 hours and 20 minutes, according
to the above reckoning; but suppose wo
were to allow the counter twelve hours
daily for rest, eating and sleeping, it
would then take 19,024 years, 68 days,
10 hours, and 40 minutes to count a
billion.
Something fob Barnum.—We were
shown yesterday, living in domestic
felicity, in a wire cage together, a me
dium grown rattlesnake and a young
cat.
A gentleman from the North gave $lO
to a negro for them, and intended taking
them to the New York Museum. The
negro lived in Chesterfield, and said that
last winter, having for some time had
the rattlesnake, he put a little kitten
into the cage, to see the effect.
. A fondness all of a sudden sprang up
tit the feeling of the rattlesnake for the
kitten, and thus they had since lived
■eciably and affectionately together. The
eat seemed to take the part of a blanket,
and spread itself over the snake to keep
eff the cold, and thus tbey lived and
loved together. —Petersburg Democrat.
The Lancet, or some other equally
edifying paper, on the subject of human
food, says that large quantities of sau-
Mges are made of horse flesh. A friend
of ours says he believes it, as he invaria
bly baa the nightmare when be has
Mtea them for supper.
National Pecuuarities. —When the
American array moved through Mex
ico one of its first institutions was the
establishment of a newspaper office,
which followed the camp and gave the
intelligence of the day. Recent advices
from the Crimea announce that the
foundation had been laid for an army
jockey club, with a permanent fund for
races wherever the troops may be en
camped.

StiT Great Cure of Rheumatism.—
The Editor* of the Richmond Republican of Dec.
21th, 1852, say that Carter's Spanish Mixture is
no quack medicine.
They had a man in their press room who was
afflicted with violent mercurial rheumatism, who
was continually complaining of misery in the
back, limbs and joints:—his eyes had become fe
verish and mattery, neck swollen, throat sore,
and all the symptoms of rheumatism, combined
with .Scrofula. Two bottles of Carter's Spanish
Mixture cured him, and, in an editorial notice as
above, they bear testimony to its wonderful ef
fects, and say tbeir only regret is, that all suffer
ing with disease of the blood are not aware of the
existence of such a medicine. They cheerfully
recommend it.

Ugly Facre to r Ugly Customers. —
An egotist is especially hated by all
other egotists. Those who believe that
money can do everything, are frequently
prepared to do everything for money.
The only good that a raiser does, is to
prove the little happiness there is to be
found in wealth. To be angry with a
weak man is a proof that you are not
very strong yourself. Solitude is the
despair of fools, the torment of the wick-
the joy of the good. It is like
panJemonium, purgatory and paradise —
according to the soul that enters it.
Scandal is the reputation of the wicked.
There are men who may be called “ mar
tyre of good health;” not content with
being well, they are always wishing to
be better, until they doctor themselves
into confirmed invalids, and die ultimate
ly, you may say, of too much health.
Mexdixg Brokex China. —The fol
lowing old receipt for mending chins is
said to answer admirably: “ Take a very
thick solution of gum arabic in water,
and stir into it plaster of Paris until the
mixture becomes a viscuous paste. Ap
ply it with a brush to the fractured edges,
and stick them tog a her. In three days
the article cannot again be broken in
the same place. Tto whiteness of the
cement renders it doubly valuable.”

BEAUTIFUL ASSORTMENT OF !
9ALB3STIMS!
rtTFEBRUARY 14th, 185G.JSES
r HAVE JUST RECEIVED from New York,
L Baltimore, and Philadelphia, the most exten
sire assortment of VALENTINES ever offered
in this place, and everything connected with
them, such as Writers, Verses, Envelopes, Lace
Paper, &c., and am prepared to fill orders,
Wholesale or Retail, at prices from five cents to
twenty dollars.
1 have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty
and love, and her darling Cupid, and they have
graciously chosen f-»r their retreats the M idison
Rook Store, and have commissioned their friend,
Benjamin* G. Liddon, as High Priest of Love,
Courtship, and Matrimony.
“ The world is full of poetry—the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
I)ance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of
affections, which are borne upon the gilded wings
of Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valentine,
to some fair friend breathing the pure sentiments
of friendship, esteem, and all the Kindlier regards
for those to whom we donate. It may, perchance,
be received with silcut approval, told only by the
fair face,
" Where eloquent blushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion ;
Or starry dimples mock the shade,
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought,
where language fails. Tbey substitute, in glow*
ing eloquence, the reading of the heart, by their
symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a servant of tbe public,
I am doing all in my power to further the inter
eats of those youths and maidens who are raffer
ing from an affection of the heart. To all, of ev
ery age, and of every rank in life, I offer a spo
ciuc tkat has never failed. Such is the wonder
ful power of the Valentines sold by me, as a phi
lanthropist and conservator of the tender pas
sions, that none make love without sending one
as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.
