The Queen. Sharp. A lady camo to New York city from Georgia a few weeks since, on n moat commendable mission, that of raising money to assist the cause of Southern education. She had pro greased finely with her work, but a day or two since was «o unfortunate as to lose her mem orandum book, which book contained, among other things, tho names of those persons upon whom tho lady had called, and intended to call in furtherance of her mission. Imagine her a.irprb;-.', while in Brooklyn, yesterday, to t • -rtain that another party, undoubtedly ha-'ing found r.he memorandum book, assuming he lady's r. :i.i and armed with forged letter* of in 1; - Auction, was engaged also in tho lauds abb* w >rk of collecting money, hut which money, so far as car* bo ascertained, is not vory extensively dovotod to the cause of Southern education. This is one of the sharp tricks, by the practice of which thousands of people in ' i!io larger cities live, and a moet provoking joke.— Ex. A thief entered a house, and wishing to make clear work, after Beaching the lower part of the house packed his plunder in a bun dle, and leaving it on the table proceeded up stairs to reconnoitre for more. During his ; absence, the owner of the house who had watched his movements, takes Ilia bundle and 1 carried it away; presently the thief comes down, and seeing the bundle is gone, says, • “W&ll, this is the and a rudest ihie’dng hold over ; got into. A fid low craft keep anything after lie has got it.” llow the Brethren Dwell Togctlierin Unity. In a late letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer, “ M'.iok” treats us to the following picture of Senatorial love and harmony : “ I don't know why it is, but there is a cor diality of hatred and a reciprocity of contempt between fiie great men of the Radical party in the Senate, that, if fully known, would aston ish most people. Fessenden hates Sumner, and says in private conversation he's a fool. Sumner hates Fessenden, and says that he’s a wretch. Harlan hates Grimes, and says he’s a man of no principle. Grimes hates Harlan, and says he's a swindler. Wade hates Sher man, and says that lie’s a political ceward. Sherman —well, John hasn’t blood enough in him for either love or hate. Conncss hate Cole (they are both Radicals from California, re member) and calls him all the evil names he can think of. Cole reciprocates the favor by giving, as his private opinion of Oonneas, that he is the biggest scoundrel unhung. Trumbull talks of Yates as a drunken fool, and Yates talks of Trumbull as a sober snoak. If what Williams, of Oregon, says of Corbett, of Oregon, bo true, Corbett ought to be in a lunatic asy lum ; and if what Corbett says of him be true, Williams ought to ho in tho State's prison. And, 0 ! ye gods, listen to Drake talk of his newly elected colleague, tho bumble Seliurz — he of tho unfathomable German mind and tho metaphysical German countenance—tho disci ple of Kant and tlie countryman of Schiller, ‘A Dutch infidel’—‘and an unprincipled inter loper'— 1 political adventurer'-—and all the names with which the Radical tongue can grace its speech when it gets excited. But even Drake ou Sehurz is sweetened rose water compared with Morton on Schuyler, the new Y. P., or Schuyler on Morton. They are both from Indiana.you know, and each claims a minute acquaintance with tho other’s record. Moris this all. The Repnblican party of In diana seems to bo divided into hostile armies under the banners of Schuyler and Morten respectively. The Schuyler follows liavo long been indulging the hope that Mr. Morton would die, but he Ims no notion of it. Ila is better to-day than ho has been for fuur years, and likely to be ' entirely well very soon.— Meantime the war goes on. Tho Schuyler fel lows spit nitric acid all over tho Morton fac tion, and the Morton faction returns the com pliment with a strong solution of verbal vitriol. 1 presume each to ho correct in what they say of the other, and conclude from both that tho Radicals of Indiana arc a very happy family, indeed.” Editorial Slavery. Every editor of a paper will appreciate the truth of tho following passage from some of the writings of Captain Marriott: It is not tho writing of the leading nrticle itself, lint the obligation to writs that article every day (or week), whether inclined or not, in sickness or health; in aflliction, diseasosfof the mind, winter or summer, year after year, tied down to tho task, remaining in ono spot. It is like tho walking of a thousand hours. I Imvo a fellow-feeling, for I know how a peri odical will wear down one's existence. In kself it appears nothing, the labor is not man ifest; nor is it tho labor, but it is the continued attention which it requires. Y T our life becomes as it wore tho publication. Ono day’s (or week’s) papsr ia no sooner corrootod and prin ted, than on comes another. It is tho stono of Sysiphus ; an endless repetition of toil; con stant weight upon tho intolloet and spirits, demanding all the exertion of your faculties, at the same time that you uro compelled to do tho severest kind of drudgery. To write for a newspaper is very well, but to edit one is to condemn yourself to slavery. All of which is as true as preaching. ♦©* National Nicknames. —The following are the nicknames of the different States, which we find in an exchange.

Principle that cannot bear the heaviest pressure of temptation is rotten at the hearts Better he honorable and he despised, than to be despisable and be honored. To know that we can smile on death wits surely make us happj in life. Got the matters of death and eternity right, and this life is robbed of its darkness and terrors. Ono pound of gold may be drawn into a beautiful wiie that would extend around the' globo. So one good deed may be felt through all time, and even extend its consequences into eternity. Though done in tho first flush of youth, it may gild the last hours of a long life> and form tho only bright spot in it.

The warm sunshine and the gentle zephyr may melt the glacier which has bid doliance to the howling tempest, so tho voice of kindnosW will touch the heart which no soverity could subdue. Revenge can convert a little right into ar great wrong. Many who have wept on the mountain* of Zion have sung aloud in tho valley of the shadow of death. Acknowledging we have boon in tho wrong: is only showing that we are wiser to-day than yesterday. We are but pa.songera of a day, whether it is in a stngo coach, or in tho immense machine of the universe. In God’s name then, why should we not make the way as pleasant to each other ns possible ? Liquor has drowned more men on dry ground than the sea ever did in its waves. The “Grecian benders” might he properly termed animated parentheses, not only on no count of the shape that they affect, but b*- cause they include what is “not necessary either to sense or construction.” Be not affronted at a jest.

The dog, how ever, having made other attempts at biting, was killed by some of the neighbors, who were’ convinced that he was mad, or at all event* a dangerous animal. Os Into jMcCarty began to bo considerably disturbed about the bite, ho brooded over it, became actually terrified,- lost his sloop, and in other ways showed that tho circumstance was preying on his mind, the evil influence being perhaps increased by in- - cautious remarks from friends and relatives.— About three o’clock on Saturday morning ho was seized witlGterriblo paroxysms, so that it required the.cffbrts of a strong man or two to* restrain him from violence, lie was generally rational, but ovor and anon would break out in incoherent cries and demonstrations of fear, lie could not tolerate the presence of women in his room. Onco he was terrified at the ru'csonco of an imaginary dog under the bed, but on being assured that no dog wns there, bocatno quiet. It needed not his show of aversion to water to toll his friends what wa*' the cause of this frightful sickness —they had been expecting it. At two o’clock a physician was sent for. He came, and without Baying anything, walked into the room with a little water in a glass. The man’s horror was sick ening to behold. In abject fear he drew him self up in a corner of the bed as far a» possible from tho bated water, and tho doctor believed that had ho not withdrawn with the water, the poor follow would have jumped out of the window. The doctor was convinced by this, that tho man’s case wa3 hopeless, and so it proved, for in another hour he expired in con vulsions. The physician says it was the most horriblo ease of the kind he ever witnessed. — -The fit of hydrophobia eamo on in about tho usual period—four to six weeks being the aver age,—[Exchange. Grubs. This diseaso, so fatal to horses, a friend in forms us, can bo certainly cured by tho follow ing simple remedy, which ho found several years ngo, in the Rural Register : Ist.
