The Contented Man.
A wealthy epicure, applied to an Ara
bian doctor for a prescription that
should make liis body healthy and re
store his mind to peace. The physi
cian advised him to exchange shirts
with a man who was perfectly content
ed with his lot, upon which th.e pa
tient set out upon his journey in
search of such a person. After many
months spent -without accomplishing
bis object, he was told of a certain
cobbler of whom every body spoke as
a model of contentment and happi-
nes. Pursuing the direction given,
the ..traveler was plefisad with the
sight of the cobbler enjoying; fi com?
fortable nap oil his board. Without
ceremony' he was aroused from his
slumbers, find tiie. important interoga-
■tpry, wliethef he was' contented with
his lot was answered in. the affiima-

‘‘Most gladly would I accede to
your request,” replied the cobbler,
“lot-”
“Nay. refuse me not,” interrupted
tiie man of wealth, “any stun thou
mayest name shall be thine.”
' “I seek not tliy wealth,” .said' the
cobbler, “but—but—”
“But what?”
. “The truth is—I have no.shirt!”

then replied:
“You thought it your dnty to at

“Is it in the capacity of Queen, or
that of Judge, that your majesty asks
my opinion?” answered the woman.
“As Queen I ask it,” responded
Elizabeth.
-'“Then your Majesty ought to par

“Brit what assurance will you give
me,’’-rejoined the Queen, “that yon

attempt?,’
“Madam.” replied the woman, “a
pardon granted, with so much precau

the Judge.”
Elizabeth turning to some persons
of her counsel exclaimed to them:
“For thirty years I have been
Queen, but I do not recollect ever hav

such a lesson.” Then she. gave her a
free pardon without any condition.

Mr. M, an army' surgeon, was very
fond of a joke (unless perpetrated at
his own expense,) and had, moreover
a contempt for 'citizen officers, who
were renewed more for their courage
than their scholarship. One day, at
mess after the doctor had performed
sundry perafflbalati. ns of the tabte,
Captain S-, a brave and accomplished
officer, and a great wag, remarked
the doctor, who had been somewhat
severe in his remarks on the literary
deficiencies of some of the officers— :
“Doctor M, tire you acquainted with
Captain G?”
“Yes I know-him well,” replied the
doctor; “he is one of the new set. But
what of him?
“Nothing in particular. I have- just
received a letter from him, aud I wiil
wager you a dozen of old port that
you cannot guess in six guesses how he
spells cat.”
“Done!-its a wager.”
“Well commence guessing,” said S.'

The Fbee-Love Candidate foe
Pbesedent.—Mrs. Victoria Woodhull,
the champion of the cause, delivered
a lector s on Woman Suffrage at Stein
way Hall, New York^on the evening
of the 20t3i. The lecture . was princi
pally devoted to an attack -,onihp mar
riage system, ns Uow constituted, de
claring it an outrage on individual
freedom and a barrier to general hap
piness. Its continuance. for a life-time
was preposterous and an outrage. She
believed and gloned in freedove which
binds the' parties together only Ador
ing its existence, and severed their
marital relations whenever the parties
desired, aud said: ? 1
‘Yes! lama free-lover! I believe
I have an aleniable right to change
my husband every day if I like. I
trust-I am understood, for Imean what
r 2 say and nothing else. I claim that
freedom means to be free.”
And, she peiieved the; .offspring, of
such love was the purest. .The lecture
was often and . deservedly interrupted
to message- Brown met us with that
bland,' cliild-likh smile, which for in-.
fatnatioD, can be only I'qmiled by
“brodder” Lockrane this side of Heav
en. It was a holy smile, loo xweet to-
be worn by a sinful mortal Wo saw
the ex-Governor frequently afterwards,
always iu a confidential conversation
with a single person,'and we asked
-ourselves -f it were possible that this
“mildest, meekest-mannered man"
was - the hero of Pulaski and the only
real legal traitor in America.
