The saddler accordingly piocceded to the. house in company with another gentleman, and demanded his money. “Vour money,” said the astonished landlord, “I have just handed it to you.” “No sir,” replied the saddler, “I have not received my money, and if you refuse to dt liver it to mo, I shall lake measures to obtain it.”— The landlord dared him “to do lushest,” and Mr. Emmet instituted a suit against him in favor of the saddler.

Washinotox—Btuox.—-“A good hoy gen erally makes a good man,” said the mother of Washington. “George always a good hoy.” Here wc see one great secret of his greatness.— George Washington had a i.uo lier who made him a good hoy, ami instilled into his heart those principles which raised him to he the benefactor of his country, and one of the brightest ornaments of the world. The mother of Washington iscn titled to a nation's gratitude. She taught her boy the principles of obedience, and moral cour age, and virtue. She in a great measure, formed the character of the hero and statesman. It was j by her own fireside that she taught her playful 1 hoy to govern himself, and thus was he prepared for the brilliant carter of usefulness which he af terwards pursued. We are indebted to God for the gift of Washington ; hut wo are no less in debted to Him for the gift of his inestimable mother. Had she been a week and indulgent and unfaithful parent, the unchecked energies of j Washington might have elevated him to the throne of a tyrant, or youthful disobedience might have prepared the way for u life of crime and a dishonored grave. Byron had a mother just the reverse, of lady | Washington; and the character of the mother j was tiiiusfeircd to the son. Wc cannot wonder then at. his character and conduct, for we see then to be almost a necessary consequence of the edu cation he received, and the scones he wiinessud in his mothers’s parior. She would nt one time, allow him to disobey her with impunity; again, she would fly into a rage and heal him. .She taught him to defy authority human and divine; to indulge without restraint in sin; to give him self up to every maddening passion. It was the mother of Byron laid the foundation of his pre eminence in guilt. She taught him to plunge into the sea of profligacy and wretchedness, upon whose agitated waves he was tossed for life. If the crimes of the poet deserve the execration of the world—the world cannot forget, that it was the mother, who fostered in his youthful heart, those possums which made the son a curse to his fellow men. Had Byron and Washington ex changed cradles during the first month of their infancy, it is very certain their < haraclers would have been entirely ihanged; and it is by no means improbable, that Washington might have been the licentious profligate, and Pyron the ex emplar of virtue and benefactor of nations.—Mo ther at Home by Abbot. Bead and Pkatiikiih.—lt is often asked, in jest, which is the heaviest—a pound of lead or u pound of feathers? A person who had not his wits about him might be guilty of the hibern. ’- chm of answering, “n pound of lead, to be sure!" Another u little, more shrewd would say they weighed just alike. Yet, under certain circum stances they would both he wrong. Weigh a pound of feathers while they arc in an uncom pressed state, and then weigh them after being compressed, and in tho latter case they would weigh more than in the former; because, when any substance lias a large quantity of surface ex posed to the atmosphere, in proportion to its bulk, it weighs loss than the same hulk when compressed, lienee may be asserted with truth the seeming paradox, that a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of lead. This principle is well understood by some of the wool merchants who compress their wool as much as convenient, that the same quantity may make more weight. It is mid, moreover, that a wool merchant often gains*tho interest of Ins money, in the additional weight which the wool will acquire by remaining stored during a season, and thereby becoming compressed. Gold, the heaviest of all metals, by being made into gold leaf, which has infinitely a larger surface in proportion to its hulk than the solid gold, may he made to Boat in the air. Ac cording to the same principle are the clouds sus pended in the atmosphere.

Wc pause not to inquire into the principles that inffucnced her, suffice it that in common with most her stump she beheld the struggle as one in which liberty warred with tyranny. Her only son had licon taken in the del of rebellion, and was condemned by martial law to death; she followed the officer, on v hose word his life depended, to the place of execution, ond besought him to spare the widow’s fitay; she knell in the agony of her soul and clas ped his knees, while her eyes with the glare of a maniac, tell on the child beside him.
