OuaGintu Wo are skuddin round hero td keldim un to tho alaok, waltin for more help to mm up* and yon may depend on't Cuba’s got to take it We don’t nevir give np tho ship. A fast little clipper jest come along, going to Baltimore, and the skipper said he’d taka my despatches to you in three days. And you emu scud to mo hy the skipper your notions about things; for he’s only going to stop long enough to wood up, and then he’s coining right strait back to jin* us. He made me promise to hold on and not toko Cuba till ho come, for ho was very airiest to bo in at tho death. That Cuba's a fins country. We’ve been iving a glimpse at it one# in awhile with our spy glasses, through tho “ Hole in the Wall,” and round tho corners, and if o rmly a fine conn- try; ’twoaM do your heart good to look at it. And you shall have a chance before long, for its get fee comedown; ifs got to nnckle, and no mistake. I’ve got my commission to go ahead frem Mr. Bsehaaau and Mr. Mason and Mr. Souley. And the nub of the whole thing is, we’ve got to take Cuba, “if we have the power;” and I knew wo kave, as Sally Giles said to her sweetheart Says Solly, says she, “yon sbn't kiss ma unless you are stronger than I, and I kaew yon be.” Jest before we eome out I tee by the papers that Loss Napoleon was a notion of goin to the Crimea to aee Sebastopol foil; and so I thought may bo you might like to come eat here and see ns take Cuba. Now if yon da, jest say the word, and toll me in your letter what day yon will be down on the pint of floriday, and I’ll bear up with the Two Pollies and take yon off Yon most n't feel hurt because I didn’t eome to Washington to see you before starting on this cruise; bat tho fiset was I hadn’t time. Our country was in eo ranch danger It would n’t do to wait Our Congress in Ostond went over the whole ground and examined carefully, and come to the eonelnaion that it was neck or no thing with ns. Wo must have Cuba or our whole country would go to rack and rain, and “the Union can never enjoy repose nor possess reliable security as long as Cuba Is not em braced within its boundaries.” I sent you a despatch last foil about the dnins of our Congress at Ostond, where we took np the affairs of England and France and Spain; bat finally concluded we could n’t make any thing out of that bnsinessyet, and should have to wait a little longer. Well, then them three S/s—Souley, Sickles, and Sanders—said there was one thing we could da: we could take hold of that Cuba basinets and finish it np brown. And, for foar that Lonis Napcleon might have spies round ns there at Ostond, we concluded it was best to hitch a little further off So we went over to Ax-le-Shapple and finished np the business. Tbe upshot was, we concluded we would have Cuba by book or by crook; and that Mr, Sonley should go right back to Old Spain and toR tho Qaeen so. If she’d a mind to give it npqsietly and make no fuss about it, he might promise to give her somethin pretty hansome in the way of money ; we didn’t care nothing about that, as we've got plenty of money to home. If she refused and told Mr. Sonley to mind his own business, and wo sfaonln't have Cuba no how, then we told him he mustn’t be mealy-mouthed, nor mince matters, bnt pick a quarrel tbe best way he conld and clear ont WeH, Mr. Sonley went back to Madrid witk a stiff upper Up and began to by to dicker with the Queen's spokesman for a bargain, •ontothin in this way: Soui.et. Oh, now I think of it, there's that little Island of Cuba over there near our coast; we'd like to have that nttle island, if ifs att the same to yon. I spose yon'vo no ob jections ; it ifnt the least use in the world to yon, and it Alight be some little acceonnt to us. So, if you say -so, we’ll jest mark Coba down on til? nl5P of tbe United States. some beggar who wants it The ancient and prond kingdom of 8pain is no beggar, sir. Til thank yon, sir, not to insult me. Soulst. I dont intend any insult, sir; bnt DU be frank and plain with yon. The foot is we most have that Island. It is absolutely neces eraary for the safety and welforo of the Uni tod States. Our country can’t get along without it. SroKMxax. That’s your look ont, not min*. Soulut. Well now, Mr Spokesman, yon know yo or people ont there In Cuba have for a long time been {uniting oar folks, tearohing their vessels, and firing into their steamers, ana some times ketebing onr people and shooting em or patting em in dungeons. There’s a long ac count of these things that yon must settle right np, pint blank, or suffer the consequences.— There’s three hundred thousand dollors yon’vo S t to pay for stopping the'Steamer Black War- r, and great many other things as bad as that Thee* matters hare got to be settled right up, or Cuba’s got to stand in tho gap. Sroxnsuair, Can’t help that. If yonv’e got any amounts to settle we'll leave it to a third party to say how wo shall settle. We don’t owe you a cent for tho Black Warrior. She broke onr laws and we fined her six thousand dollars „ and then wo give back the fine after all, when wo might a kept the vessel. And you are so onrratefal as not to thank ns for it Soolut. I wont stand this foolery no longer. Leave it out! No, wo know how to settle onr own business best. Now, sir, you’ve got to set tle all onr accounts right up, and fix things abont Cuba so we shant never have anymore trouble, or else give np tho island to manage in onr own way. Now, Fm agoin to give yon jest two weeks to think of this basinets and give me your an swer ; and if it Isn’t settled by that time I shall out sad go homo, and then you’ll Hear thunder. Good by, sir.” That Sonley’s a smart feller, Gineral. He talked right np to em, and wasn’t afeared.— Well, ho waited till the two weeks was ont, and no answer didn’t eomo; and then he slat round and picked np his clothes, and locked np his tranks, and cleared ont. Then he come over where we had been waiting for him and told ns how the business stood. He said old Spain re- fosod to give np Cuba, and refused to settle, and ho had got tho quarrel in such a shape now that wo eottld carry it on any way to suit our selves. And now, said Mr. Sonley, whafs to be done next f Wal.says I, Mr. Sonley, yonv’e only jest got to look at the instructions drawn np hy onr Con- Ax-lo-Skappsl, and signed by yon and Mr. Bachanaa and Mr. Mason, and you’ll see the eonne is marked ont as plain as a be. Jest open tke'doekyment and read : “Cuba is as nscessaiy to the North American Republic as any of its present members.” “The Union can never enjoy repose nor pos sess reliable security as long as Cuba is not em braced within its boundaries.” “Bnt if Spun, deaf to the voice of her own in terest, and actuated by stubborn pride and a fitise sense of honor, should refuse to sell Cuba td the United States,” what then ? “Self-preservation is the first law of nature with States as well as with individnals. 1 Matters and things being thus and so, “then, by * divi every law, human and divine, we shall be jus tified in wresting Cnba from Spain, if we pos sess the power.” “There, says I, there's your chart, as plain as the nose on a man’s lace; and all we’ve got to do is to go ahead. So we all pat oar heads to gether to draw np a plan of the campaign, and modi'"' 8pose****. Not by a jug foil, Mr. Sonley. Cnbv is fhe most valuable patch of ground we’ve got fen't spare it no how. Souley. Ob, nonsense: it’s no income at all to yon, and nothin hot a bill of expense. It's lo sear to ns wo might look after and maybe make somethin ont of it; bnt it's no more use to yon than tbe fifth wheel of a coach. I guess we'll consider it our*. SroxBsvAV, I guess yon wont. I tell yon we can't spare Cuba no how. IV» the pride of tho Spanish kingdom and tbe gem of tbe Qttoen r s crown, Soulet. Well, boh ®y dear sir, we wold’nt mind paying yon qnito a handsome sum for it; a hundred millions, if yon say so. Wo wont scrimp about the price. Spokesman. There is no price to it. Carry yonr hundred millions to some other market if yon wsf&t to bny honor with it. I tell yon the honor of Old Spain has OC price. Soulet.—But my dear sir, yon don't oonsidcr What a wonderful deal of help a million would be to you. You must remember you are ge tti ng a good deal behindhand. You’ve no income hardly and yon are a good deal in debt. Only look at it: a hundred millions will enable yon to pay off yonr debts, and make internal im provements, and build railroads and telegraphs all over your country, so that you can sprace np and livo comfortable and got'afaead in tno world. Say the word, and tho hnndred millions Is jOUTBi ... Spokesman. Offer year hundred million! to we wasn’t long about it. It was finally conclus ded that Sanders should go and stir up the South era division headquarters New Orleans; Sickles should take charge of the centre wing, headquar ters at Washington, and a branch at New York ; and I should go as fast as possible “down East,” headquarters Downingville, and fit out a naval foree that would pnt Cnba through. And here I am, Gineral, and yon may depend on't the work’s got to be done* Bnt now I must ask you, Gineral, what In thunder Mr. Marcy means by backin’ and fill in’ so. I have jest got some of the latest New York papers by an outer-bonnd vessel, and one of the first things-1 see is Mr. Marcy’s letter to Mr. Sonley, dated 13th of Nov., and it is so full of milk and water it makes me fairly sick. I was always little afraid Marcy was an old fo gy, but I did think he had a little more back bone than he shows in this letter. He’s no Chris tian, and he's violated the Scripter, for he has pnt his hand to the plough and looked back.— He seems now to be for smoothing over matters; thinks may be onr country could manage some how. or other to get along without Cuba; don't know bnt what old Spain means to do the thing that’s abont right after all; better dicker a lit tle longer with her in a friendly kind of a way; better not do anything to affront her; keep things quiet till Spain goto in the right mood, and then, if she wont sell ns Cnba, perhaps she’ll settle and pay np. New, I'll tell yon what 'tis, General, onr Enrap Cabinet don’t swallow no each milk and water staff as that What’s got into Mr. Mar cy f Last yearhe told Mr. Sonley to demand three hnndred thousand dollars for the Black Warrior right down' on the nail, and not stop to party about it. But now he quivers and ■hakes on* way and 'totfaer like a loaf in' the wind. I’m afraid Mr. Marcy is getting old.— And there’s poor old Uncle Joshua, postmaster of Downingville, I find he's getting old and tiresnni, too. When I got home to Downing- ville and told the family I was going to fit ont the Two Pollies and be off the next day to take Cnba, Uncle Joshua was'strack all of aheap. Says he, “Major, I beg of yon not to go into any of that ffUibustering business; it’s next akin to piracy ; and there’s the neutrality laws dead agin yon, too.” “Oh, no,’ says I, “Unde Joshua, I aint go ing to undertake any of yonr low fillibnsterin ; I'm only jest going out to take Cnba man-fash* ion, because our country cant get along with out it, and (elf-preserration yon know is the first law of nater, and because old Spain keeps insulting of ns and won't pay np.” “But don’t yon see, Major,” says Unele Josh ua, “if yon go to take Cnba, yon aro making war npon Spain; and yon can't do that acord ing to the Constitution. Nobody in this coun try has any power to make war bnt Congress. “Bnt you’re mistaken there, Unele Joshua," »ajs I “Didn't Mr. Polk make war upon Mexico?” “No, by no means,” said Unde Joshna. “If yon will look back and read the dockyments of them days, yon will find it reads, * 'Whereas war exists between this country and Moxlco.’ You see that war comes itself. “But yon have no right to make war npon Spain or Cnba un less yon get yoar authority from Congress." “Wall, ancle, I have got my authority from Congress,” says I; “what more do yon want?” “Oh no,” says he ; “Congress ha’nt declared war, because it would be in the papors, and I should a seen it." “Bnt I don’t mean yonr lazy Old Fogy Con tes* to Washington,” says I; “I mean ‘oar lamp Congress.” And then I took the dockyment ont of my ocket and showed it to him, siged by Mr. lochaoan, and Mr. Mason, and Mr. Sonley*— At first he was thnndsr-strnck, and conldn’t say nothin. Then he foil back on the Constitution agin, fast as b* always does, and said b* didn’t believe onr Congress over tbero in Eurap was constitutional. Then he re'acbed up to the shelf and took down the old Constitution, oorered with morocco leather, that General Jackson sent him more than twenty years ago, and he put on bis spectacles and looked it all over lrom beginning to end, and said he conld’nt find nothin abont any Congress in Enrap. “But if yon call your meeting !over there in Enrap a Congress,” says be, “I should like to know where yon find yonr authority in tbo Constitution to make war npon Spain or to go fillibnsterin about Cuba.” “Why, Unele Joshna,” say* I, "ws find it in that dau*e where it *ay* */ take the retpon- #i blUty.’" , , “There !" *atd Conrin Sargent Joel, who had listening all the time withoat saying a word; “there, unele,” says he, “I knew jroo would find the authority in the Constitution somewhere.— That’* ono of tho amendment* of the Constitu tion that waa added by GeneralJackton, yon know,*and therefor* it mud bo right” Then Sargent Jool turned to mo, and eay* he, “Major, Fve boon round and notified the wholo company of the Downingville militia, and they are all ready, armed and equipped a* the law directs, and will be abroad to-morrow at tea o'clook. They aro full of grit, and roady to ■wallow Cuba alive.” Ihaln’tgot near through my story, Gineral, for I wanted to toll yon more abont fitting out the Tow Pollies, and abont the crew, and tbe aogers, and tho marine*, and the hoss-marine*, and the vige, but I shan’t have room in this dc*- patch, and the little dipper, that’s waitin’ for me to fiinish writing, ha* got a smart wind and wants to be off. Ir I dont see yon standing on the pint of Floriday as We go by, I shall take it for granted that you have concluded not to go ont to see ns tako Cuba; but if I see a man stan ding there and swinging bis hat, I shall know it’* yon, and we’ll bear right up with the Two Polio* and take yon off.

The Austin State Gazette views with disfa vor the prospect of having a socialist colony in Texas under tho auspicos of Victor Considerant. That paper has the following article on the sub jeot: We are always pleased to bare industrious immigrants) come among us. Plenty of work can bo found by raeohanics and laborers, and there is room in all onr towns for more enter prising merchants And business men. There is one class, however, that we are opppsed to, and have no disposition to hold ont to them in dneements to settle among ns. This class of that Propagandist school whioh in Frauoe and in parts of the United States has and 'is seeking to sap the foundations of society. The socialist desires to destroy individual rights in property, and if he is not a vory intelligent and moral man—a rare thing—we may havo in him a neighbor who will rob and plunder us wbon ever he can get the chance : for he holds it as a primary principle in his creed, that no indi vidnal has a right to aeenmnlate property for himself, and all above whatisneecssary to ens- tain him belongs to the rest of society. Again, the socialist is an abolitionist everywhere. He would not be less opposed to slavery by living in Texas than in France or in Ohio. It is part of his creed. Now we are told that John Allen, of Ohio, and Mens. Victor Considerant, pro poses bring out from France to western Texas a colony ofsocialists. This move for tho pur pose of bnilding np a sect opposed to onr politi cal institntions may well be regarded with jealousy, and the founders may rely npon it that they will not be suffered to tamper with onr in stitutions. Tbe whole principles of coloniza tion, where men of a peculiar caste in religion or politics seek to array themselves together in particular sections of the country, both as land holders and faetionists, is at war with all the elements ofsociety, and cannot be carried on withoat creating bitter and unrelenting preju dices and animosities among onr native oitizens. We note this advent of socialism in Texas as foreboding us no goad ; and we wish them to havo a fair understanding before they reach onr soil that as a political sect onr whole peo- plo are against them.” Cannibalism among tbe Indian*.—The Rev. A. Barnard, eleven years amissionary to the Ojibnes says, in a letter from Cass Lake, “There is an old Indian woman, and one of her daughters now here on a visit, who, with her husband, son-in-law, and daughter, killed and ate fifteen pereone last winter, many days march from this place. What makes the case more horrible, is the fact that most of the persons eaten were her own children and grandchildren, that it was at a timo when they conld have got fish to eat, and therefore were not in a state of starvation. The report is that the old man and one of his sons, who were engaged in this can nibalism, hare beon recently killed by other Indians to prevent their going still farther in this work. The surviving daughter who help ed to eat a sister and her children, and her own children, has threatened to eat some of thoso who killed hor father. That daughter is here. She and her mother have boen at our house to day.” THE MAID BESIDE THE STREAM A maid reclined beside a stream At fall of summer day, # And half awake and half in dream, She watched the ripples play, She marked the waters fall and heave, The deepening shadows throng, And heard, as darkened down the eve, That river’s babbling song. And thus >t sung, with thinking tongue, That rippling shadowy river— “Youth’s brightest day will fade away Forever and forever!” Tho twilight post,)the moon at last Rose broadly o 'er tbe night, As wrongbt in silver bright, Tho heaving waters glide along, But mingling with their voice, The nightingale now pours his song, And makes the shades rojoice. And thus he sung with tuneful tonguo, That bird beside the river— “When youth is gono true love shines on Forever and forever!” Sentimental Pitt.—Not all that is called Benevolence desorves the name.' To pity the poor is one thing, to relieve the poor is much more difficult. It is easy to say be ye fed, bo ye wanned, but what doth it profit, if we give them not thoso things that are noedful ? Kind feelings are only praiseworthy when they lead to kind actions, If strong impressions of hu* man misery lead to tbe relief of it, they are faithful monitors to virtue, and cannot bo too sedulously cultivated, but if they do not. stim ulate to action, they serve no other end than to display a kind of effeminate softness, utterly valueless to the world. I much admire the pity of the Samaritan. It was not expanded in kind words, or looks, but in generous and effec tive deads. The Pope’s Last Bull.—His Holinoss, tho Pope, in his last “ball,” says to the Bishop and Priosts of tho United States:—“General educa tion promotes infidelity, and checks the prog ress of Catholicity; bible sociotio* are engines of mischief; tho freedom of the Press is a most foal plague; liberty of conscience a prolific sonreei of heresy and crimo. Demolish these, and Catholicism has nothing to fear In the Uni ted States.” We respectfully commend tbe foregoing to onr neighbor of the Spirit who pro- fesaos to be of tho opinion that there is nothing antisropnblienn or dangerous in tho designs of Roman Catholicism. Mysterious Providences.—One man sucks an orange, and is choaked by a pit; another swallows a penknife and livos; one runs a thorn into his hand, and no skill can save him; another has a shaft of a gig driven completely through his body, and recovers; one is over turned on a smooth common, and breaks bis neck; another is tossed out of a gig over Brigh ton Cliff and survives; one walks out on a win dy day, and moots death by a brickbat; anoth er is blown up in the air, like Lord Hatton in Gornscy Castle, and comes down nninjnrod. The escape of this nobleman was indeed a miracle. An explosion of gunpowder, which killed his mother, wife and some of his children, and many other persons, and blow np the whole fabric of tbe castle, lodged him in bis bed on a wall overhanging a tremendous precipice. Poroeiring a mighty disorder, (as well ho might) he was going to leap out of his bed to know what the matter was, which if he had done, ho had been irrevocably lost; but in.tho instant of bis moving a flash of lightning came and showed him tho prooiptao, wboroupon ho lay still till (he people enmo and took him down. Extraordinary Flying Machine. Wo find tbe following carious and interest ing statement in the Paris Patrie: “The Academy of Sciences is a good deal in terested by the invention of a Plying Machine, by Don Diego de Salamanca. With this ma chine Don Diego’* daughter, Rosaura, rose in the air sometime ago at Madrid, to tbe groat astonishment of the Spaniards, who are but lit tle accustomed to this sort of miracle. Don Diego de Salamonou and bis daughter is about to arrive at Paris to show tho effect of its mar vellous invention. The machine is very sim ple, it oonsists in a ease two feet long, and one foot wide, adapted to a band of loather ronnd the waist bnekled behind. Tbe two iron rods fastened to the ease support a small piece of wood, on which the feet repose. Tbe case eon tains a simple and ingetious mechanism, simi lar to that employed to sot an ’automaton in motion. The mechanism is worked by means of a handle. It sets in work two large wings ten feet long, made of vory thin caontohono, covered with feathers; and the wings may be so worked as to prodnee vertical, perpendicular, or horisontal flying. Tho nnmber of tarns giv en to tho handle determines the height to which it is deitined]to go. The handle has to be tamed every quarter of a league to rognlato the distance ; the operation of? turning lasts a minute. Hori zontal fl] ing Is the most difficult. The wings beat the air like the oars of a boat, or rather as the feet of a swan when it swims. By means of this enrions machine a man can go almost as rapidly as a carrier-pigeon from the Hotel de Villie to tho Are de Triomphe de l’Etolle, in eight minutes, and in half an hour to Versail les. The experiments, which will be made in Paris, will be on a small scale, and the flights of Don Diego will not extend beyond the de partment of the Seine; bnt at a later period he proposes to go to Lyons, Bordeaux, Tonlonso, Marseilles and Tours, and to take the lines of railway. He pretends that he can travel quick er than by rail. The price of each machine will not exceed 1200f. for men, and lOOOf. for wo- mon. If the experiment succeeds Don Diego will take ont a patent, and make the sale of the machines a branch of commerce. Although greatly astonished at this new invention, sever al members of th* academy have pointed ont tho inconvenience of bringing it into general nse. In point of fact, there ' will be no security for any one, if by the aid of such ma chine all onr usages and customs be overthrown and if malefaotora can fly on the roofo of homes, afterwards get into apartments and commit all sorts of depredations. It will bo very enrions to see policemen in France or England pann ing thieves in the air, in order to look them np on earth. It appean that 1855 promises ns all sorts of marvels.” MUSIKLE EPPIC, Politicians, Look to Yourselves.—The New. York Mirror, in noting the result of tbe elections in New Hampshire last week, says: “ It is useless for politicians to close their- eyes to the inundation that is abont to deluge them. One after another the old party land marks and rickety platforms are washed away by the surging tide. Not even the most insub stantial bnoys remain to uphold them. They are politically waterlogged, and most go down. Events have been for some time ripening for the result of yesterday in New Hampshire. The defeat of the American tieket in this State by th* election of Clark, and afterwards of Seward, was a formidable blow at the mys terious ageney which planned their orerthow. Internal dissensions and the scenes enacted and the exposures made in th# Legislature of this State for a moment were ominous of the dis solution of the order. But the skies have cleared up again. Throughout the length and breadth of ths country, in Virginia, Kentucky, and other Statos, arrangements are being made for tbe struggle, preparatory to the great one in 1856. There can be no doubt as to the fu ture result. Those who would be on the win ning side, had better fall into the American line." A crowd was a porln in onto a music]* Hall, And I follered.

The appointment of Judge Lumpkin of the Supreme Court, to be one of the Judges of the Court of Claims, will, in the event ef his accep tance, entail on Got. Johnson the dnty of filling the vacancy thus created. In accordance with tlte just spirit of compromise and conciliation which at th* organization of the Court prompted the Legislator* to place the Supreme Court measurably ont of the arena of polities, and which has been ever since respected and eon- formed to, by retaining on th* Beneh one judge of whose political opinions, coincided with the party out of power, we take for granted that Gov. Johnson will place a Whig in the vacant jndg- ■hip. The other inonmbents, Judges Starnes and Banning, are democrats, and it would, there fore, not be decorous in Governor Johnson to ignore the happy understanding existing on this subject between the two great parties of Georgia, and pass over the professional claims of the many eminent Whig lawyers of Georgia by appointing a Democrat. The proposition leems.to have been eonoeed- ed from the beginning, and faithfully adhered to, that the minority shonld have one member on the Supreme Bench. It is a proposition correct in itself when applied to an office not po litical, and to a Court which has the ultimate deoision on all the great legal questions invol ving life, liberty and property. The people and politicians hare alike acquiesced In it, and we trust a Democratic Execntive will not be tbe first to deny and defeat it by apartizan exercise of his appointing power.—Conetitutionaliit & Republic. Lynch Law inCalifobnia.—As a specimen of the manner in whioh the mobs in th# “El Dorado” murder those who have inonrred their displeasure, we quote the following: A correspondent of the Sacramento Union, writing from Red Bluffs, gives some farther particulars of the lynching at red Bluffs on the 30th nit. A man who refused to give his name was tried, condemned and executed on a charge of mole stealing. The Union's correspondent says: “ The evidenee against this man was suf ficient, perhaps, to have convicted him in a court of justice; yet he Was not permitted to offer any evidence to disprove th* charge, nor yet permitted to be present and cross-examine the witnesses who testified against him; the examination being strictly an ex parte exami nation. Yot it appears there was scarcely any eanse to donbt his gnilt He refused to make a confession, bat told them that he would give his name upon condition that they wonld shoot him instead of hanging; he said he did not want his relatives to know that he was hung, whioh they refused to grant. He acknowl edged that ho had once stolen some money at French Golch in this county. He was a man about twenty-five years of age, and had a gen teel appearance. I understood that he was from Rome, in the State of New York. The body was left banging for several hours, after which it was taken down, but I have never heard what was done with it." Yellow Fetes Prevented by. Inoculation. —We notiee in La Cronica, that Wm. L. Hum boldt has discovered a means to prevent yellow fever by inoculation. ■ The government or Cnbia as La Cronica is informed, has directed the in oculation of the major part, amounting toon* thousand, of the newly arrived troops, which has resulted in the greatest success, since none have bsen attacked by this trerible disease, which generally decimates the foreign, popula tion shortly after their arrival. The operation is similar to vaeeination, by inserting the virus discovered by Dr. Humboldt, generally in both arms. A few hoars after this trifling operation, the symptoms of a miniature yellow fever com mence, and all the pathological consequences follow rapidly and slightly, rarely exceeding 48 hours in duration, and with nothing more than a slight feverish action.

Here is something, however, whioh is of deeper import: 'Johnson •studied law with Dobson, nnder the agreement that he should pay Dobson, when he (Johnson) gained hiefint caute. After a time Dobson got tired of waiting for the conditions of the con tract, and sued Johnson for his pay. Ho rea soned thus: 'If J- sue him I shall get paid at any rate, because if I gain the eanse, I shall be paid by the decision of the court; if I lote it, I shall be paid by the conditions of the contract, for then Johnson will have gained his first cause; therefore I am safe.' Johnson, on the other hand, being prodigiously frightened, sought connsel, and was told to reason thns: ' Dobson reasons well, bnt there must be a flaw in his argument; because /and not he will gain the victory.

Gens from Old Authors.—A bookish friend sends ns a few exeellent maxima gleaned in his reading favorite authors, many of whom are half forgotten in the present generation: He that faith well and doth well is commen dable; bat I like him better who doth well and saith nothing. The tight we have gained was given ns not to be ever staring on, bnt by it to discern in ward things more remote from onr knowledge. Knowledge is a treasure, bnt judgment is the treasurer.

Influence of a Newspaper A school teaoher, who has been engaged a long timo in his profession and witnessed the influence of a newspaper npon the minds of a family of children, writes to the editor of the Ogdensburg Sentinel as follows : I have found it to be the universal fact with out exception, that those scholars of both sexes of all ages, who have had access to a newspapor at home, when compared with those who hare not, aro: 1. Bettor readers, excelling in punctuation and in emphasis, and consequently read more under? tandingly. 2. Thoy are bettor spollors, and dofine words with ease and accuracy. 3. They obtain a practical knowledge of ge ography, in almost half the time it requires oth ers, as tbo newspaper has made them familiar with the location of the governments and doings on the globe. 4. They arc better grammarians, for having become so by tho style in the newspapor, from the common advertisement to the finished and classical oration of the statesman, they more readily comprehend the meaning of th* text, and consequently analysed its construction with ac curacy. • 5. They write better eompoaitions, using bet ter language, containing more thoughts, more cloar and connectedly expressed. 6. Those young mon, who havo for years been readers of the newspnpors are always taking the lead in the debating society, exhibiting a more extensivo knowledge upon a greater variety of subjocts, and expressing thoir views with gront- er liuoncy, clearness and correctness in thoir use of language.
