During the summer of 1846, corn being scarce in the upper country, and one of the citizens being hard pressed for bread, having worn threadbare the hospitality of bis generous neighbors by his extreme laziness, they thought it an act of charity to bury him. Ac cordingly, he was carried towards the place of interment, and being met by one of the citizens, the following con%’cr- sation took place: Hallo! what have you there ?” Poor old Mr. S.” What are you going to do with him V” Bury him.” What! is he dead? I hadn’t heard of his death.” No, he is not dead, hut he might as well be, for he has no corn, and is too lazy to work for any.” "That is too cruel for civilized people. I’ll give him two bushels of corn my self, rather than see him buried alive.” Mr. S. raised the cover, and asked in his usual dragging tone, "I-s i-t s-h-e-l-1- e-d ?” " No, but you can soon shell it.” " D-r-i-v-e o-n, b-o-y-s.” A Belter Man than his Brother. The Philadelphia Spirit tf the Times vouches for the correctness of the fol lowing : “ On Thursday last a wedding party arrived from the country, consisting of the bride and groom, and the brother of the latter, and several friends. They put up at one of our public houses, and in the evening, when the preliminaries having'been all settled and the clergy man in attendance, the ceremonies were about to .begin, when the groom manifested some dissatisfaction. The bride, seeing this and being high spir ited, showed as much independence as the lover. In the midst of the confu sion which ensued, the bridegroom’s brother stepped up to the bride and said, " Since won’t Itis^L Tnx *ob«cribcr still continues to kevp opvj JlUKhisllOUAEw Ga, Ue the accommodation of Tr»r«W».

Scientific Wonders. The general faith in science as a won der-worker, is at present unlimited; and along with this there is cherished the conviction that every discovery and in- ention admits of a practical applica tion to the welfare of men. If a new veg etable product is brought to this coun try from abroad, or new chemical com pound discovered, or a new physical phenomenon recorded ; the question is immediately asked, cut hono ? What is it good for ? Is food or drink to be got out of it ? Will it make hats or shoes, or cover umbrellas? Will it kill-or heal ? Will it drive a steam engine, or make a mill go? And truly this cut 60- question has of late been so satis factorily answered, that we cannot won der that the public should persist in putting it somewhat eagerly, to every discoverer and inventor, and should be lieve that if a substance has one valua ble application, it will prove, if further investigated, to have a thousand. Gut- ta percha has not been known in this country ten years ; and already it would be less difficult to say what purposes it had not been applied to than to enumer ate those to which it has been applied. Gun-cotton had not proved in the saddest way its power to kill, before certain ingenious Americans showed that it had a remarkable power of healing, and forms the best slicking plaster for wounds. Surgeons have not employed ether and chlorolorm as anaesthetics for three years; and already an ether steam engine is at work in Lyons, and a chlo roform engine in London. Of other sciences we need scarcely speak.— Chemistry has long come down from her atomic altitudes and elective affin ities, and now scours and dyes, bakes, brews, cooks, and compounds drugs with contented composure. Electricity leaves her thunderbolt in the sky, and, like Mercury, dismissed from Olympus, acts as letter carrier and message-boy.— Even the mysterious magnetism, which once seemed a living principle to quiver in the compass needle, is unclothed of mystery,and setlodrivinglurninglathes. The public sees all this, and has unlim ited faith in man’s power to conquer nature. The ciedulity which formerly Fed upon unicorns, phoenixes, mer maids, vampires, krakens, pestilential comets, fairies, ghosts, winches, spec tres, harms, curses, universal remedies, factious with Satan, and the like, now tampers with chemistry, electricity, and magnetism, as it once did with the invisible world. Shoes of swiftness, seven league boots, and Forlanatus’s wishing caps, are banished even from the nursery.— But an electro magnetic steam fire bal loon, which will cleave the air like a thunderbolt, and go as straight to its tnons to Jehovah/ ^ _ aid, and prayers to be be$rd,expffcssed either with entire directness, or if'not in the imperative "Hear Jehovah !** or awake Jehovah, and the like, still est addresses to God that he would remember and hear,” See. The word itself, he regards as indenting a blast of trumpets by the prie9f».

Trust to no friend if thou hast not proved him ; they are oftener found at the banqueting table than at the door of the prison. * A man had three friends; two of them he loved greatly; to the third lie was indifferent, although this one was the most honest and sincere. He was once summoned before a tribunal, where forms, and the punctilio of politeness, a mystery known only to the craft. In this respect the best English society is probably nearest allied to the Chinese, only that the latter is much more demo cratic ; mandarins being made out of scholars and nol out of the oflspring of noble families, and official position, which alone gives rank in the Celestial Empire, open to individual merit. The blood relations ot Confucius, it is true, receive pensions; but they do not set the fashion of Celestial society. " It is a familiar saying in England that ‘a person may be admitted to their best society, but that nonel^bt its mem fatal to the cause of peace.

The first of his friends at oi»ce ex cused himself, and said that lie could not go with him on account of other bu siness. The second accompanied him to the door of the court house, then turn ed and went back, for he was atraid of the angry judge. The third, upon whom he bail least depended, went in with him, and spoke in his defence, and tes tified so readily to bis innocence, that the judge dismissed him with rich gifts. Man has three friends in this world; hdw do fiic/ coml uCrrtem^'.ves ia tha hour of death, when God summons the soul before his tribunal? ^Money, his dearest friend, leaves him first, and does not go with him. His relatives and friends attend him to the door of the grave, and return again to their homes. The third, whom he oftenest forgot in life, is his ivories of benevolence; these alone accompany him to the throne of the judge ; they go before him, speak in his defeuce, and find mercy and favor for him. the institutions ol England are alike rest ing on a feudal basis which has success fully withstood all revolutions in poli tics, religion, ethics, and taste; and it is for this reason that Madame de Stael, though herself but a distinguished monplace, observed that English society was the most capital means of keeping ordinary men in prominent places.— The perfect ease which pervades the first society in England is, no doubt, the result of conviction that its members are above criticism—that no accidents, voluntary or involuntary demerit on their part, can derogate from their dig nity, or in aught diminish that influence the inferior classes which causes these to emulate their matchless exam ple. There certainly exists something similar to this in Washington, in regard to the peerless society of senators, mem bers, and the corps diplomatique. These destination as the crow flie3, is an. in vention which many hope to see real- Good Society in Washington. The following, by Mr. Francis J. Gruml, gives a view which will be in teresting to every body, of the polite circles in our legislative metropolis: "The prerequisite of agreeable socie ty is equality, and that cannot exist where its members, as in Washington, re labelled ‘senators,’ ‘members,’ cabinet officers,* ‘ auditors,’ ‘ clerks,* etc. There is probably no place in the world where people are more strictly classified, or more exclusively compos ed of sets, according to power and in fluence, than in Washington. The l - upper crust’ in Washington seem to be entirely absolved from any effort to please or to be.agreeable. They are everything from position - , and as that is dependent, for the moftt part, on their Standing and popularity in other com munities, they but too often use the free dom of travelers in hotels, and make themselves comfortable ht the expense of their neighbors. The disagreeable, shocking scenes which aje so often, wit nessed in both house%_<>f Congress, would perhaps not ocoiOvif there were an independent and sufficiently conse quential society in Washington, capable of punishing offenders against the pro prieties of life. At all events, if it be proper that Congress and the adminis tration of the government should be placed beyond the influence of a mob of a great city, it would certainly not be amiss if they were iqore frequently brought within the sphere of those more gentle attractions which can hardly exist for them, as long as they remain above stated, are, in general lected from the strongest and ablest men of the country, yet as society is ne cessarily the province of women and not of men, their very originality is calcu lated to give ladies a certain degr uneasiness. On the other hand, is frequently introduced to fashionable women in Washington whom it would be difficult to class in any other city the Union, on account of their being strangers, comparatively, in all of them.

Better far that this adjustment should never have com menced. But when wrong has been perpetrated on one side, and resented on thc.other, an adjustment iivjftjpe form is indispensable. I* is', tgjtier so than to leave the thorn ofdisceT^f thus plant ed to rankle and fester, an^; finally to produce a never-healing sore. We need attempt no such useless task as that of disguising from ourselves, our constituents, and in truth the world at large, that ill blood has been engendred, and we are losing our mutual attach ment, that we are daily becoming more arid more estranged, that the fibres of the great cord which unites us as one people, are giving way’, and that we are ast verging to ultimate and final clis- ption. I hold no communion with the spurious patriotism which closes its eyes to the dangers which visit us, and with aloud voice, sing hosannahs to the Union; such patriotism will nol save the Union—it is destructive of the Uni- Open wide your eyes ant! look these dangers full in the face, and with strong arms and stout hearts assault them, vanquish them, and on the field of your triumph erect an altar sacred to the cause of liberty, and on that altar offer as a willing sacrifice this accursed demon of discord. Do this, and we are safe; refuse, and these dangers will thicken, these misty elements will grow darker and blacker as days roll on.— The storm which now lingers will burst, and the genius of dissolution will then preside where the Union now is.

Territory now'free, must remain free, say you. Who gave you the right to speak thus oracularly ? Is this an acquisition of your own, or is it a thing obtained by the joint effort of us all ? I have been told that the United States acquired the territory from Mex ico, and that the Congress, speaking for the United States, must dispose ofit. Technically speaking, the United Stales did make the acquisition ; but what is the United States? a mere agent for the States, holding for them certain po litical powers in trust, to be exercised for their mutual benefit, and among these is the power to declare war and make peace. In the exercise of these powers the territory was acquired, and for whom ? Nol certainly for the agent, hut for the principal. Not for the United States, but for the States. Who fought the battles? who won the victories which resulted in the ac quisition? The people of the United States? Certainly not. There is no such thing as the people of the United States. They can perform no act—have in fact, no political existence. Do the people of the United States elect ttii^ Congress? No; we are elected by States—most of us by districts in States. The Slates elect Senators, and the President is himself elected by State electoral colleges, and not by the peoj* pie of the United Slates.

Society is naturally jealous of dominion. It.may be the creator and at times the slave of fashion ; but it is always destitute of taste when it is supremely ruled by caste. - « Where society is exclusively com posed ol one set .of tfien and women, no matter what their qualification may be, it soon becomes irksome. Its mem bers become as familiar to each other as old household . furniture, and the whole cycle of social pleasores is soon reduc ed to a series of matual entertainments.

A young man from Maine, writi his friends from California, says his par ty found, near the Sacramento, and al most thirty miles from any other dig ging, two intelligent and beautiful young ladies, with no attendant except an old grey-headed negro, whom they had en ticed to accompanythem, and who is the servant of the fatherof one of them. The eldest of these girls was not twenty.— It seems their minds had become excit ed by the gold stones which they had heard, and they had determined to try their hands at making a fortune. The old negro was past work, and was left in the camp during the day, to look af ter the household affairs and keep watch, while the girls pursued their mining operations. When the party reached their camp, the olcl darkey was alone but the girls came in during the day, and received their visitors hospita bly. They expressed no fears of being molested or robbed, and said that they should leave for home when they had accumulated 310,000—they had already gathered $7,000. They were from Flo rida, and the youngest ran away r "*~’ school to enter upon the expedition. The SchMlmaiter Abroad. This phrase originated with Lord Brougham, whose eloquence ia as notorious as is his eccen tricity. In his speech on the elevation of Welling ton, “ a mere military chieftain,” to the Premier ship, after the death of Canning, Broughi Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington may take the ariry—he may take the navy—he may take the great 6eal—he may take the miter. I make him a present of them all. Let him come on with his whole force, sword in hand, against the constitn- tion, and the English people will not only beat him back, but laugh at his assaults. In other times, the country may have heard with dismay that “ the soldier was abroad.” It will not be so now. Let the soldier be abroad if he will; he can do nothing in this age. There is another personage abroad— personage less imposing in the eyes ot some, These issues and their necessary inci dents have brought the two ends of the Union in their present perilous position —a position from which one or the oth er must recede, or a conflict dangerous to liberty and fatal to the Union will certainly ensue.

Sovereign ties are equal; there is no such thing as great or small sovereigns, or, to speak .more correctly, sovereigns of great and small degree. They are equals, except when by conventional agreement that equality is destroyed.
