There are foolislr people jwho regard it with terror, and dhie not to touch or meddle with it; there are more foolish people, who,' in rashness or defiance, seize it:by the blade, and get-eut and mangled for their pain?; and there are wise people who grasp it discreetly and boldly *hy the handle, and use if to carve their own purposes.

Schlessinger, who were taken by the Costa Ricans and executed by them, were made to perform an un welcome service just before their exit. Having beeii condemned to death and their fate announced, the victims were compelled to dig their own graves, and when done, made to kneel upon the margin of the trench dug. when they were shot dead —falling readily into the pit their own iMfidskad dug. 1 Texas Salt.-—The Austin Times says Messrs* Hardemans havejestablish- ed works for the manufacture of salt on the west side of the Colorado, about fifty-five or sixty miles above that city. A specimen of salt manufactured by these gentlemen has been forwarded to Mr. George Hancock.

The doctrine that an abolitionists member of Congress is to be caned simply, because he is an abo litionist, is undeniably wrong; andwoold bring speedy dissolution; of the Union, if not open warfare between its sections; but that a member of Congress, whether from'the North or the South, is person ally responsible for what he says arid does is. despite :iH theories, practically true and undeniably rigbt.

He bas got a-go ing—he uill stop in the Slate Prisou. Hark! do you hear that horrid oath ? It comes from the foul mouth cf a little boy in the street. He began by saying by-words, but he has got a going and can’t stop. « Fifty young men were some years ago in the habit of meeting together in a room at a public house, io enjoy them selves in social hilarity, where the wine- cup passed freely around. One of them, as he w^s going there one evening, be gan to think there might be danger in the way. He stopped and considered a moment, and theu said to himself. ‘■Right about face!’* He turned on bis heel and went back to his room,.and tyas never, seen at the public house again. He-bas become rich, and the first block lyin front of the; place i where lie stood when he made, that ^exclamatfon; §ijt of tbe young menfollowed his yxan^le. Thejremaining forty-three got a going and couldn’t stop till they landed tn the grave. ,4 Beware,-then boys, how you get a going.—Be sure before yoo staft that yoh. are U* the right way, for when yon ere sliding down hill it is hard to stop. SOUTH AMERICAN SNAKES. In this part of the Orinoco, we re peatedly saw water snakes swimming from* one Island* to another ; and in some ' instances they passed over the beats, to tbe great alarm of thepasseii gers, but without attempting to do any mischief. They are of a light green color, six or eight feet long, and swim ’ Tough.—The Boston Bee, a. paper notorious for its' veracity, say* that a man upin New Hampshire went out gunning one day this spring—he saw a flock of pigeons sitting on a limb of an with about a third of their body raised old pine, so he dropped a ball into bis! out of the water, propelling themselves gun and fired.

Til KILLING SCENE—WALKER&CLEM- ENCV. The El Nicaraguense publishes an interesting account of the pardon of two soldiers belonging to Gen. Walker’s army just on the eve of the fatal shot that was tb send the unhappy, men into eternity. It‘appears that at Rivas, two soldiers, one a German and the other a Chileno, were caught asleep on llieir post*, ' as sentinels. A court martial was ordered next day, , and on the trial both culprits pfeafl gulltjf. The court prbnomCeil ihe penalty of death prescribed'.id the; articles of war, and the ’Commander-iti- Cliief approved'Ule finding. Next day was ftxed for the execution. Tbe fatal day came, and as the hour .-pf sundown approached, alj the Americans in the city, together with; J?rge. crowds of the natives assembled on the Plaza.— The. officer of the day led out .the pris oners between two rows of soldiers, and the tofemmprocession-moved on to the mournful music, of tip* dead march. A spot was re)ecJ$On front of the unfinish ed church, confessjoa administered, tbe shooting, party stationed, the bandages 4i«^ t the culprits placed with their backs againsl the wall, and everything made ready for the fatal word. An unusual stillness pervaded' (he crowd, and every one felt a- growing sympathy for the unfortunate . beings ra'sed themselves to eminence on this floor in championship of human-wrongs !

But not content with - this- poor menace, which we have been . toMcefold was “meaBured.’’, the Senator, in the unrestrained chivalry of hia nature, has undertaken tp .apply opprobrious words to those who diffL-r from him on this floor. He calls them ‘‘sectional and fanatical;’’ and opposition to tbe usur- pation in Kansas he denounces as “an uncalculating fana(icism.” To be sure* these charges Jack pH grace of originali ty, aud all' sentiment of trutii: but the ajlvtntnroos Senator does not hesitate.

Why Not Successful.—The young mechanic or clerk marries and takes a house, which he proceeds to furnish twice as expensively as lie can afford, and then his wife instead of taking hold tahelp-hiin to earn a li velihood, by doing her own work, must have » hired sere vant tb help her spend his limited earn ings. Ten years afterward*, you will find him struggling on under a double load of dehts sad children, wondering why the lack was always against him While his friends regard his unhappy destitution of financial’ ability. Had they from thefts* beeirfran kandhonest, ha need not have been so unlucky. The world is full of people who can’t imagine why they dont prosper like their neigh bors. -when the real obstacle is not in banks or tariffs, in bad jwiblic policy nor bard times, but in their own extrav agance and heedless ostentation. ly of water rats and young birds.
