When wo think of the Jew four hundred uiillipAiau'O ; we recall the query once propoun ded to Stephen Girard : “What do you want to accumulate so much money for? You can’t take it with you when you die, and if you could, it would melt." It is said that this reminder made to strong an impression on tlio niouey getter’s mind that he thenceforth planned his schemes of bonevo lence. There is only one thing worse than igno rance, and that is conceit. Os all intractable fools an over wise man is the worst. You may cause idiots to philosophise, you may coax donkeys to forego thistles, but don't ever think of driving common sense into the head of a conceited person. “ YVhere tire you going?” asked a gentleman of an acquaintance. “ To see a friend,” was the reply. “ Then I should liko to go with you,” said his companion, “ for I never saw one yet." Congress has appropriated $30,000 to relieve the “poor"—negroes —of Wash'ngton. Dirty, lousy, idle and starving, they crowd the galle ries of the Capitol from day to day, listening to the harangues of their white allies. They ought to be paid $30,000 for listening to such stuff. Salnavc, the “negro warrior" of Ilayti, is burning down towns and doing other atrocities very much after tho fashion of Sherman and Sheridan in our late negro war.

Judge give mo a chaw of Tobacco! The Impossible U vinau. Calmly locking on ut the unseemly can (.ro ve, »y no .v racing between the aeso.-t, and gath ering from the current iijwruuu'o what man expects from woman, wo fear there is nothing m store but failure on the one side and dis appointment on the other. In the first place, the being that man describes as a helpmeet for him is not to be found on earth —was not found in Paradise, amid tlio innocence, freshness and beauty of the first creation. In early ages of the world the suns of God became enamored of the daughters of men ; tlio reverse is now tlio case—the sons of men are aspiring, in theory at least, to the imgels of heaven. The impos sible woman, that every man seeks for, and no man ever finds, is an angel—not only a porfoet being, but a compound of all perfections. She must he richly dowered, but know nothing of the value or vulgarity of wealth ; she must be young, yet Imvu all the wisdom if age ; beau tiful, yet totally unconscious of her clin/ms ; prudent, blit not penurious ; modest, but not a prude ; clever and accomplished, but inno cent and unassuming ; she must bar* brains, not in excess ; her intellect must always remain exactly live degrees lower than her husband's, so as to avoid the inconvenience and confusion that would naturally ensue if hers ever rose a point above his, and unhappily allowed him to feel for an instant an uncomfortable sense of inferiority. Such is mans idea of a perfect woman, and with such he might drain to the dregs the cup of human happiness ; but, failing in this, he is a poor disappointed creature, wounded in heart, soured in disposition, and tossed like a derelict ship to and fro on the ocean of life. We are not now going into man’s character or man’s merits, nor disputing his right to such a partner, if he can by any chance meet with her. We should he the first to offer our con gratulation on so felicitous a union, and pray that this even balance might be preserved to the end of their days, and, when their final hour approached, that death itself might not divide them. We simply assort that such a being is not to be found—that this impossible woman does not exist. The immortal soul of man yearns after the beautiful, the good, the true: and suffering, sad humanity answers him with sorrow, weakness and imperfection, lie feels that virtue, after all, is the right thing; and if lie cannot have it himself—cannot just live up to the mark that he ought to attain to —he tli inks it highly desirable that somo one should, lie can enjoy the virtue that is achieved by practice and self denial in another, and, in *imo incoherent way, expect the blessing to full on his head and attend his steps. Doom ed to disappointment, he would cover his own delinquencies by heaping reproaches upon woman. Many a man starts upon his wedding tour with the firm conviction that an angel is his traveling companion—that he hits found the impossible woman who has condescended to cast in her lot with his, who regards her idol with blind admiration. oven in the midst of the bridal feast, how often has a man’s hand written on the wall, “ weighed in the balance arid found wanting,’' and the man upbraids tlio anrcl for notpn'sessingqualiticsthat never existed *avo in his own distorted brain ! Put ting, then, the impossible woman aside, let man with duo caution and n prudent regard to con sequences, seek the possible, looking first for a warm li art and a clear head, and as much amiability, beauty, youth and money as he can combine with them ; let him keep the heart warm by love and tenderness, and develop the sense and judgmont by respect and confidence ; and if she should happen to have a preponder ance of intellect—which, with all duo respect to manly.power, is the case soM'.timti —let hitu regard that priceless quality not in a spirit of moan, petty rivalry, but as a gift from Heaven, a joint possession, by which both muy be bet ter, wiser, and happier. Whatever sense they have between them, they will want it all.— Life's journoy is long, life's burden is groat : lot them be satisfied to beguilt* tiis one and share the other —content if step by step and side by sido they can move along together, and thankful if a gleam of sunshine someliirus falls upon their path.- T.\e Queen. Sharp. A lady came to New York city from Georgia a few weeks since, oa a most commendable mission, that of raising money to assist the cause of Southern education. Slio had pro gressed finely with her work, but a day or two since was so unfortunate as to lose her mem orandum book, which book contained, among other things, the names of those persons upon whom the lady had called, and intended to call in furtherance of her mission. Imagine her surprise, while in Brooklyn, yesterday, to ascertain that another party, undoubtedly having found the memorandum book, assuming the lady's name, and armed with forged letters of introduction, was engaged also in the laud able work of collecting money, but which money, so far as can be ascertained, is not vary extensively devoted to the cause of Southern education. This is one of the sharp tricks, by the practice of which thousands of people in the larger cities livo, and a most provoking joke. — Ex. A thief entered a houso, and wishing to nrako clear work, after seaching tho lower part of the house packed his plunder in a bun dle, and leaving it on the table proceeded up stairs to reeonnoitro for more. During his absence, tlio owner of the house who had watched his movements, takes his bundle and carried it away ; presently tlio thief comes down, and seeing the bundle is gone, says, ‘•IVell, this is tlio d&rndest thieving hole 1 ever into. A fellow can't keep anything after lie ji.is got it.” iloiv Ilic Brethren Dwell Together in Unity. In ,i late letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer, “ Mack" treats iis to tlio following pbture of Senatorial love and harmony : “ 1 don't know why il is, but thero is a cor diality of hatred and a reciprocity of contempt between the «*rent men of the Radical party in tile Senate, that, if fully known, would aston ish most people. Fessenden hates Sumner, and says in private conversation he’s a tool. Sumner hates Fessenden, and says that he’s a wretch. Harlan hates Grimes, and ?ays he’s a man of no principle. Grimes hates Harlan, and says lie's a swindler. "Wade hates Sher man, and says that lie's a political coward. Sherman—well, John hasn't blood enough in him for cither love or hate. Conncss hate Colo (they arc both Radicals from California, re member) and calls him all the evil names lie can think of. Cole reciprocates tho favor by giving, as his private opinion of Conners, that he is the biggest scoundrel unhung. Trumbull talks of Yates as a drunken fool, and Y'ates talks of Trumbull as a sober snoak. If what Williams, ofOregon, says of Corbett, ofOregon, bo true, Corbett ought to b# in a lunatic asy» him ; and if what Corbott says of him he true, Williams ought to ho in the State’s prison. And, O ! ye gods, listen to Drake talk of his newly elected colleague, the humble Schurz— he of the unfathomable Gorman mind and tho metaphysical German countonanco—the disci ple of Kant and the countryman of Schiller. ‘A Dutch infidel’ —‘and an unprincipled inter loper'—‘political adventurer'—and all the names with which the Radical tongue can grace its speech when it gets excited. But even Drake on Schurz is sweetened rose water compared with Morton on Schuyler, the new Y. I’., or Schuyler on Morton. They are both from Indiana, you know, and each claims a minute acquaintance with the other's record. Nor is this all. The Republican party of In diana seems to be divided into hostile armies under ‘he banners of Schuyler and Morton respectively. The Schuyler fellows have long been indulging tlio hope that Mr. Morton would die, hut he has no notion of it. He is better to-day than he has been for four years, and likely to be entirely well very soon.— Meantime the war goes on. The Schuyler fel lows spit nitric acid nil over the Morton fac tion, and the Morton faction returns the com pliment with a strong solution of verbal vitriol. 1 presume each to be correct in what they say of the other, and conclude from both that the Radicals of Indiana are a very happy family, indeed," Editorial Slavery. Every editor of a paper will appreciate the truth of the following passage from some of the writings of Captain Marriott: It is not the writing of the leading article itself, but the obligation to write that article every day (or woek), whether inclined or not, in sickness or health; in affliction, diseasesjof the mind, winter or summer, year after year, tied down to the task, remaining in one spot. It is like tho walking of a thousand hours. I have a fellow-feeling, for I know how a peri odical will wear down one’s existence. In itself it appears nothing, the labor is not man ifest ; nor is it tho labor, but it is tho continued attention which it requires. Your life becomes as it were tho publication. One day's (or week’s) paper is no sooner corrected and prin ted, than on comes another. It is the stone of Syslphus ; an endless repetition of toil ; con stant weight upon the intellect and spirits, demanding all tire exertion of your faculties, at the same time that you aro compelled to do the severest kind of drudgery. To write for a newspaper is very well, but to edit one is to coudenm yourself to slavery. All of which is as true as preaching.

The following is an account of a death from hydrophobia, which occurred in Putterson on Saturday last: Timothy McCarty, living near the junction, ia the southern part of tho city, was the vic tim. On New Year’s day, McCarty was bit ten in the finger by a large black dog whiclr ho owned. The bite seemed a trifling matter, and he paid no attention to it. The dog, how ever, having made othsr attempts at biting, was killed by some of the neighbors, who were convinced that he was mad, or at all evonte’ a dangerous animal. Os late McCarty begnn to be considerably disturbed about the bite, he brooded over it, became actually terrified, lost his sleep, and in other ways showed that tho circumstance was preying on his mind, tho evil influence being perhaps increased by in cautious remarks from friends and relatives.— About throe o’clock on Saturdtiy morning he was seized witlrterrible paroxysm*, so that it required the efforts of a strong man or two to restrain him from violence. lie was generally rational, but ever and anon would break out in incoherent cries and demonstrations of fear. He could not tolerate tlia presonce of women in bis room. Onco ho was terrified at the presence of. an imaginary dog under the bed, but on being assured that no dog was there, became quiet. It needed not his show of aversion to wator to tell his friends what waa tho cause of this frightful sickness—they had been expecting it. At two o’clock a physician was sent for. Ha same, and without saying anything, walked into the room with » little water in a glass. The man’s horror was sick ening to behold. In abject fear h* drew him self up in a corner of the bed as far as possible from tho hated water, and the doctor believed that had ho not withdrawn with tho water, the poor fellow would have jumped out of the window. The doctor was convinced by this, that tin man’s ease was hopeless, and *o it proved, for in another hour he expired in con vulsions. The physician says it was the most horrible case of the kind he evor witnessed.— The fit of hydrophobia camo on in about the usual period—four to six weeks being the aver age.—[Exchange. Grubs. This disease, so fatal to horses, a friend in* forms us, can be certainly cured by the follow-" ing simple remedy, which he found several years ago, in the Rural Register: Ist. Bleed the horse in tho mouth, and wait a sufficient time for him to swallow the blood,- the object of which is to attract the) Grub and cause it to turn loose. 2d.
