a light color, arid on the white morocco
always printed his name in large letters
with a pen. This habit he acquired
after having been at several dinner
E arties and balls, Beau Hickmanized
y the possessors of shocking bad tiles.
It happened that our subject, cn a
certain occasion, was spending a few
days at the Capitol, and having his hat
rather used up by a shower, dropped
into a shop, in the neighborhood of the
White House, to exchange it. A beaver
was found that fitted to a hair, and a
'♦swap” was made to the satisfaction
of all parlies. The purchaser, as usual,
printed his name upon the lining of his
new hat and left the damaged one with
theonwerof the shop without so much
noticing the number or position of
the store.
A few nights after this occurrence,
friend, who had been out until the
short hours at a wine parly, was sud
denly aroused about 3 o’clock, A. M.,
by a violent tumult at the door.
•Who’s there?” shouted the old
veteran, still asleep.

“ We want the owner of this hat.”

could be the real cause of this disturb-

himself, adds: “ This is true; I have
stood in the presence of five kings, and
once bad the honor of dining with one,”
—all in consequence of his having been
“diligent in business” from his earliest
years. What a lesson is this for our

A Good One.
The Home Journal reifites the fol
lowing good anecdote, to YJloitrate the
advantage of coolness under diilicnlties.
One of the mosl charming women of
Paris, not long since, happetred to re
ceive an untimely call, wheu her con
fidential maid chanced to be out upon
an errand. Never suspeclipfc the per
son at her door lo be a gentla;Bau whose
attention had of late some-ivliai pleas
ed her, she herself answered the door.
But Madame was of those who never
show themselves to the world till Hea
ven’s original work upon thesis entire

and alabastered.
*Ma—dame!’stammered the unex
pected comer as the door opened, and
the apparition of the face, <tu natu-
rcl, was revealed lo his half-recognizing
vision.
| ‘ Madame is not in!’ said she, with
| the greatest coolness, suddenly-shutting
the door without further parky, and
leaving the intruder to rctire/upou his
suspicions.
The difference was $o"grent between
the laily done and undone, however, that
he departed speculating on the 4 gradu
al resemblance which even an old
dressing maid may acquire tflritfcr young
mistress, and convinced that Madame

pearance, complexion and character.—
DeLyra indulged in the idle conceit
that it assumed the face ofa fair virgin ;
Eugubinos thinks that the serpent was a
basalisk; Delrio, a viper; Petrus Co-
mester contended that tie serpent
walked upright like a man; and Dr.
Adam Clarke considered the serpent to
have been a creature of the ape or ou- nol benevolence
rang outang kind. Our impression is,
that there was no outward visible form
present when the forbidden '’fruit was
eaten. The serpent which tempted
Eve to do wrong is the scale serpent^
which tempts 11s all al this lime to do‘
what is not right—that it was the in
ward suggestion ofa rebellious spirit,
which leads us all into temptation, and
that the passage in the Bible is to be
interpreted figuratively, and M»t literal
ly. The serpent was cursed as we
curse the workings of an evil spirit
within us when we begin to feel its ef
fects, and it is the evil spirit which puts
enmity between each other.
Give now.—Defer not thy deeds till
the mantle of death has covered thy
form. Ten dollars given to-day, are
belter than fifty left in thy wilh It is
w ‘ve away what
thou hast no further need of; and no
legacies will purchase future felicity
for the mean and avaricious heart.
Error.—Error is the cause of man’s
isery, the corrupt principle that has
produced evil ill the world; *tis this
which begets and cherishes in our souls
all the evils that afflict us, and we can
never expect a true and solid happi
ness, but by a serious endeavor to
•oid it.—Maibranchc.

isations of horrible sins may grow
out of nothing but syntax. A worthy
clergyman once came near losing his

pened thus: The minister’s n^me was

complaining of the inroads of these little

Mitchell al Paita under tne following
circumstances: The M. had touched
at. Paiia, for lhe purpose of pulling
ashore letters for home, and again left
for the cruising ground ; but on the se
cond or third night out, when the watch
was called, one of the crew was dis
covered to be a young girl, instead of a
fair haired boy, which created no little
excitement on board, and caused the
Captain to put back again to Paita to
land his female sailor, to seek some
more congenial way of earning a liveli
hood, than using ike bucket and a marl
ing spike.
Her story before lhe American Con
sul, was as follows:
-She is a native of Rochester, New
York, was seduced, like thousands of
others, from home, by a villain who
promised to make her his lawful wife,
but who abandoned her in a short time
aiid absconded to parts unknown. Re
turning lo her parental roof, she was
met by her parents wilh bitter scorn,
and driven from home. Too proud to
ask assistance from strangers, and not
so far lost to virtue as to think of sub
sisting by the only means which might
now seem left to her, she put on male
atiire and for two months earned her
living by driving a horse on the canal.
Tired of this, she determined to go to
sea—first engaged as a cabin boy at $4
per month—but was told by the ship
ping master that she could make more
by a whaling voyage, and consequently
proceeded to Nantucket to look for a
ship. It was with some difficulty, that
she obtained a berth, her youth and del
icate appearanqp being much- against
her. One of the ship owners at a
place where she applied (an old qua-
ker,) at laii became so much pleased
.with, as be expressed it, ” the good
face of the boy,” ihat he persuaded the
Captain of the M. to take her on board.
She performed her duty faithfully for

A Word to Young Hen.
Wishing and sighing, and itnagin
and dreaming of greatness, said Wil
liam Wirt, will not make you great.—-
But cannot a young man command his
energies? Read Foster on decision of
character. That book will tell you
what is in your power to accomplish.—
You must gird up your loins and go to
work with all the indomitable energy of
Hannibal scaling the Alps. It is your
duty to make the most of lime, talents
and opportunities.
Alfred, King of England, though he
performed more business than any one
of his subjects, found lime to study.
Franklin, in the midst of his labors,
had time to dive into the depths of
philosophy, and explored an untrodden
path of science.
Frederick the Great, with an Em
pire at his direction, in the midst of
war, and on the eve of battle, found
lime to revel in the charms of philoso
phy, and feast on the luxuries of sci-
Napoleon, wilh Europe at his dispo
sal, wilh Kings at his ante-chamber,
and at the head of thousands of men,
whose destinies were suspended on his
arbitrary pleasure, found time to con
verse with books.
And young men who are confined lo
labor or business even twelve hours
day*, may take an hour and a half of
what is left, for study, and which will
will amount to two months in the course
of a year.

Be not diverted from your duly by
any idle reflections the silly world
may make upon you ; their censures are
not in your power, and consequently
should not be any., part of your con

The greatest and the most amiable

As the human countenance is made
beautiful by the soul shining through it,
the world is beautiful by the shining
of God through it.—Jacobi.
Base all your actions upon a princi
ple of right; preserve yonr integrity of
character, and in doing this never reck-
ibe cost.
Trust him little who praises all—
and him less who censures all—and
him least who is indifferent about all.
A Hindoo law says: “Strike not,
en with a blossom, a wife, though she
be guilty of a thousand faults.”
The sun nevei enlightens all parts
of our bodies at the same time ; neither
can reason illumine all sides of the
mind at once.”
The creditor, whose appearance glad
dens the heart of a debtor, may hold
his head in sunbeams and his foot on
storms!
Some will doany thing rather than own
a fault, though every thing depends up-
owning it. Seneca’s wife, to conceal
her own blindness, asserted that tbo .
world was in darkness.
In moral feeling there is a presenti
ment of eternity. I know nothing more
sublime and profound than the saying
in the New Testament: “ Our life is
hid in Christ with God.
In sickness there is no hand like a
woman’s hand—bo heart like a wo
man’s heart—no eye so untiring, no
hope so fervent. \Voman by a sick
an’s couch is divinity impersonated.
He, who in the same given time can
produce tr.ore than many others, has
vigor; he, who can produce more and .
better, has talents; he, who can^ pro
duce what none else can, has genius.
The poor man, who envies not the.
rich, who pities his companions ofpov-,
erty, and can spare something for him
that is still poorer, is, in the realms of
humanity, a king of kings.
Gratitude for favors shown, is the
distinguishing trail, of a truly noble
mind.
A srxGLE stroke of an axe is of little
consequence, yet by the continual appli
cation of that small power, properly
directed what amazing effects are pro
duced! The sturdy oak and lofty-pine
do not simply own its power, but whole
forests lie before it* and the wilderness
becomes, a garden.
Industry, well-directed, will give,
man a competency in a few years.—
The greatest industry misapplied is
useless. p
