In Rhenish balls I hear the pilgrim lover Weave his wild story to the wailing strings.

The age in i which we live is peculiar. The general diffusion of knowledge among all classes j has overturned the whole order of things, ’ and gives promise of a more equitable so cial condition in the future. Formerly, honks were for the favored few, and were locked in the cases of the rich and great. The mechanic and the laborer pursued their occupations without any intelligent com puiirt.Xoii of them—as the beaver con struct- his dwelling by instinct, or as the ox dra.vs the plow, as he is driven by the master. The very name of mechanic sound- ’ eJ plebeian, and grated harshly on aristo cratic cars. But to-day it is no more so. Mechanics may walk among princes, and sit in the high places of power. Science has glorified every occupation, and invest ed with sublime dignity every trade. Every mechanical occupation is now considered honorable, because the laborer has carried with him to his toil the light of science, and the force of intellect. The carpenter, tlie farmer, and all other workers, need, therefore, more than ever before, the aid of books. A library, extensive and cheap, will be invaluable to any class for which it may be designed. Its rooms will be a favorite place of resort. Hundreds, ami perhaps thousands, who now have no con nection with any library, and no taste for reading at all, will there acquire a relish for intellectual pursuits, and become ambi tious of obtaining those mental treasures, which abide for ever. A man who has the ability to read and access to a well-selected library, has with in his reach the sources of substantial hap piness, and all necessary means of intellec tual progress. For who so happy as he who, through the proper use of hooks, has stored his mind with rich thoughts, and adorned it with beautiful conceptions ? He may meet with reverses, the world may frown upon him, and poverty and the hov el may come to him in exchange for vast wealth, and a splendid mansion, and friends may forsake him in the dark hour of need ; hut with books as his companion? he can not feel solitary or miserable, or weak. Book? give him freedom. strength, oom panionship. They speak, and the ancient sepulchers heave, the tomb of the past opens, and the wise and the great and good of all times come forth and speak to hint words of love, sympathy and hope. They visit him in his solitude, and sit with him at his fire-side. Homer, Milton, Dante, ! and Shakspeare, arc here, and envelope him in a golden drapery of song—the sftge | and the philosophers are there, with their i celestial precepts, and lofty wisdom ; and j the seers, and prophets and apostles, with their revelations of nature, the soul, and | God. What a glorious companionship is , his! The ancient Egyptians, impelled bygrat ’ dude, adored as a god, the Nile, that great river, which, flowing down from the un known depths of I.ybia, deposited upon iheir thirsty soil the beauty and fertility of a hundred lands. Hut how much more ought we to prize books, which bringdown i to us from remote times the wisdom and virtue, and beauty of an hundred ages. They bind the past to the present, and to all the future, so that through them the mighty tide of universal being is forever rushing pastor whirling around us, leaving with us whatever we have the desire toap : propriatc to ourselves, of wisdom, of vir tue of goodness. —Gazelle of the Union. | SINGING AT AN EVENING PARTY. The process of singing a song at an cvc , ning party may thus be described : —The 1 young lady, on being led to the piano, first throws a timid glance round the room, os i tensibly to evince a gentle confusion, in ! reality, to see who is looking at her. She then observes to the mistress of the house ‘•that she is not in very good voice, having a slight cold,” which she confirms by a faint sound, something between a sigh, a smile, and a single-knock-cough. The i hostess replies, ‘ Oh, but you always sing so delightfully.” The young lady an swers, “that she is certain she cannot ; this evening ;” to strengthen which opin i ion, she makes some young gentleman ex ! ceedingly joyous by giving him her boquet ■ to hold ; and, drawing off her gloves in die j most approved style, tucks them behind ! one of the candlesticks, together with her ! flimsy handkerchief, in such a fashion, that its deep laced border or embroidered name may be seen to the best advantage. The 1 top of the piano, which had been opened 1 for the quadrilles, is then shut down by an i active gentleman, who pinches his finger in the attempt; the musicians form a se ries of dissolving views, and disappear, no knows where, nor ever will: and the young lady takes Iter place at the piano, j and, as she plays the chords of the key she is about to luxuriate in, every body is not perfectly silent, so she finds the music-; stool is too high, or too low, or something of tlie kind, and the pedals appear exceed ingly difficult to be found. At length, ev erything being still, she plays the sympho ny again, and then smiling at the hostess, and saying, “that she is certain that she shall break down,” brings out the opening note of the recitative which makes the drops of the chandelier vibrate again, and silences a couple who are whispering all sorts of soft nothings on a cameu.se in the back drawing room. —Natural History of Evening Parties. I’ROFLIGATE LITERATURE. A profligate literature destroys itself and the community that patronize it. Let lit erature be sold into bondage to immorality, and its days are thenceforward numbered, as well by the very nature of the human j mind, as by the laws of the divine govern- j ment. Genius, when grinding likea blind Samson in the prison-house of vice, ulti- j mately perishes in its task, and leaves no ’ heir. It may not so seem at first. A deli- j cious frenzy may seem to call forth fresh j eloquence and harmony, and every Muse,j disolute and shameless, may wave aloft j the thyrus of a mad Bacchante. Science 1 and art and wit and eloquence have thus aided in the erection of chriues to immor tality ;. but they have languished and died in their toils. A profligate people soon ceases ! to he intelligent, and their literature loses all living power, all ability to perpetuate itself. The literature of the dead past is soon all that remains to a vicious commu nity. And when the proudest monument of unprincipled talent and perverted genius lias been completed, and stood perfect in ! beauty, its last chapter carved and fixed, j its topmast pinnacle glittering on high, its last statue polished and flitted to its ap i pointed niche, the nation may have exult ’ ed in the splendor of their immortal poet -Iry and eloquence and art. But that na tion, even in the hour of its triumph, i stands before its trophies, bereft of the tal ents that had aided in its work, desolate and lone, like him who reared from its ; ruins the city of palm-trees, the fated city over which hung the old but unslumbering curse of Heaven, llis children fell as the walls of his new foundation rose; and he stood at last in the home he had reared a solitary man, with none to inherit his la bors. “ For Hiel the Oethclite in those 1 days built Jericho. He laid the founda i tion thereof in Abraham, his first-born, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Scgub.” Literature, slays its children when building under God’s curse. Talent prostituted in the cause of vice pines amid its successes and dies: and an imbruted community, it is generally seen, by a just ; retribution of Providence, soon buries in oblivion the literature that has corrupted and barberize 1 it. — IF. R. Williams, D.D. - —— ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE George VV. Kendall is about publishing a history of the late war with Mexico. It will soon be out, and is described as an elaborate work, to be embellished with nu-! merous illustrations, executed by Paris ar tists, from drawings taken in Mexico. Tlie editor of the Lowell Courier in noticing ifliEiainji® vassal ©&aai^i a the forthcoming work, relates the follow ing interesting incident connected with Mr. Kendall’s departure from Mexico, some thing more than a year since : “When he was taken prisoner, years ago, during the Santa Fe expedition, he was marched with others to the Capital, and thrown into one of the gloomy prisons of the city. During the solitary hours of his confinement, a beautiful Mexican lady, who had heard of him, often went to his prison window, and threw into his cell beautiful boquets of flowers. She would sit before his grate for hours, day after day, and sing to him the sweetest airs and lays of her native land. Upon his final re lease and return home, he sent to Senora Lopez, for such was the name of his guar dian angel, a splendid present. Upon his second visit to the Capital with (fen. Scott, he took charge of her son, and brought him to the United Stales, to educate and to rear him. As he was leaving the city the Senora threw a magnificent gold chain over his neck, and rushed away, too much overcome to take leave of her boy. The Senora is the most accomplished singer in Mexico, and altogether one of the mos beautiful women we have ever seen in the Capital.” LOVE LAUGHS AT EVERYTHING. It may be set down as a fixed fact that if a young couple want to get married, nothing can prevent the accomplishment of their wishes, especially if they have a cute lawyer friend to assist them. The Cincin nati Nonpareil relates a case in point of a sturdy youth from the counlry, with his sweetheart, a blooming lass, who present ed themselves at the Clerk's office to pro cure the necessary passport to enter the stateof double-blessedness. The girl being under 18, and not having evidence to prove that she had received the consent of her widowed mother, the license could not be granted. Thus all their lively hopes were crushed; their joyous expectations disap pointed. They were nonplussed, and stood in mute despair, until their sorrow touched the feelings of all present. Even the im passive heart of a lawyer was moved, and his brains at once set to work to remove the obstacle. He proposed to the young lady to choose a guardian from among those present. With a blushing diffidence scanned the apartment, until her eyes fell upon a nice-looking young man, who was forthwith appointed to the responsible of fice. She then humbly implored bis consent, which was graciously granted. The doc ument was secured, and after many thanks to the lawyer and kind-hearted guardian, they departed joyfully, soon to realise the raptures of long-cherished affeclion.

Enter Frenchman. “Sair, you keep de raw oyslair?” Opener. “Oh, yes, sir! fine, fat Prince's Bay.” Frenchman. “Ties bien, I vill eat some raw oys-tair.” The mar. opens a fine fat one and puts it on a plate before the Frenchman, who eyes it some time, and says : “ Monsieur, you call dis do good oys tair?” “Yes, sir, prime.” The Frenchman swallows it, (it was the first he ever ate,) opens his mouth, puts his hand to his bread basket and “ 3-1-u-p!” and up comes the “oyslair” on the plate. “Sucre darn ! by gar. dat is not dc good oys-tair.” “ You didn’t put on salt and pepper, sir.” “Ah ! pardonnez moi ? ” Puts pepper end salt on the same one. Swallows it— and “ Blu-u-u-p”—up it comes again. “ How you tell to me zat oys-tair bien ?” “ Why, sir, you must vinegar.” “Ah ! oui! ccrtainment’ he-ne-gar! oui! and he swallows the same again. “Blu-u ----u-ff!” and up it comes again on the plate. Just then a gent enters. “Give us a dozen o’ raw.” The Frenchman turns to him. “Ah my fren, you eats ze raw oys-tair ?” “Os course.” “ You call zat ze good oys-tair?” “ Yes, fine, fat one.” “ Ila! you tmk dat isgood oys-tair, sup pose you eat him !” “With pleasure, sir!” and the gent gave j it a dart of pepper-sauce and bolted it. .

The Frenchman turned on his heel.— | Ah ! my fren, zat may be ze good oys-tair, Ino like him. 1 swallowed zat oys-tair tree time.” “ Blu-u-u-ph” came the oyster, and the Frenchman danced with delight. “Ah!

Not long since, a steamboat traveller was on his way from Charleston to Wil mington, and the boat rounded in at Smith ville landing, North Carolina. It was late at night, and nothing was distinguishable but a boy waving a torch at some distance from the boat. Now, as boys can’t stand on waves when they want to wave torches, there were many on board the boat shrewd enough to know that there must be land somewhere in the vicinity. On the strength of this conviction, one of the passengers, anxious and cautious as to the progress of his journey, called out to the hoy with the torch — “Hallo!” “ Hey!” replied the boy, with juvenile shrillness. “ What place is this ?” “ North Carolina !” sung out the boy. This answer provoked a great laugh, nat urally enough, among the passengers, and a dozen other voices commenced putting ! loud questions to the boy. “ What’s your name ?” roared one who had lung-strength enough to drown all the rest. “ Sam Stow,” shouted the boy. “Where do you live?” bellowed the questioner, still louder. “ North Carolina!” was once more- the answer, followed by a peal of laughter from the boat, and a sympathetic din and and splash of the paddles. When a partial silence ensued, the sten torian cross-examiner was heard again: “ What part of North Carolina ?” “ Why, jest up there, where Miss Essy Butts used to live !” This reply created more boisterous fun than took place before. At length another question was put, just as the boat was nearing the spot where the boy stood — “ Which is the way to Wilmington?” Tlie boy paused an instant, and then threw every body into convulsions by an swering— “ Why, the other way!” Such an informant is not always met with on a dark night in North Carolina. Politeness. —Rev. Mr. had trav elled far to preach to a congregation at patiently, evidently expecting someone of nis brethren to invite him to dinner. In this he was disappointed. One after an other departed, until the house was al most as empty as the minister’s stomach. Summoning resolution. how r ever, he walk ed up to an elderly-looking gentleman, and gravely said — ‘* Will you go home to dinner with me to-day, brother ?” “Where do you live ?” “About twenty miles from this, sir.” “No,” said the man, coloring; “but you must go with me.” “ Thank you—l will cheerfully.” After that time the minister was no more troubled about his dinner. A Doctor’s Affidavit. —A highway man named Bollard, confined in Newgate, sent to know how he could defer his trial, ! t and was answered, by getting the doctor to ! make affidavit of his illness. This was i accordingly done in the following manner : “The deponent verily believes, that if i the said John Bollard is obliged to’ stand his trial, at the ensuing session, he will be in iminent danger of his life.’ 1 To which the learned judge, on the | bench, replied, “that he believed so too!” Don't Jumi>. —Never jump from a third story window when there is any other means of escape. Never jump at conclusions. Never jump at a poor chance. Try to avoid jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Never jump off the dock because you are !in debt, or in love. You will get wet if j you do. Never jump after a ferry-boat when it is more than half-way across the river. Never jump at a flash of lightening—it’s of little use. The American Flag. —When our flag was unfurled from its staff in Tampico, an aged Spaniard was heard inveighing, with lugubrious earnestness, against the perti nacity with which that flag had pursued his fortunes. In broken Fnglish, he ex claimed— “l was de Spanish council in de Louisi ana, when dat flag he was raise, and 1 go to Pensacola, but soon that flag he was over me dere. I live then in de Texas, but dat flag follow me dere. Says I, 1 1 go where dat flag never come I come to Tampico, but here is dat flag again. 1 be live if I go to de devil dat same flag will follow me dere.” And the old man wept as he turned away his eyes from that flag, which, like his evil genius, had haunted him through life, and was now mocking his heartfelt misery. If a man will reap “ whatsoever he sowetli,” what a harvest of coats and ‘ireeches the tailor will have, one of these days! Snoring.—“My uncle 1’ was an awful snorer. He could be heard furlher than a blacksmith’s forge, but my aunt be came so accustomed to it that it soothed her repose. They were a very domestic couple, and never slept apart for many years. At length my uncle was required to attend a court, at some hundred miles distant. The first night after his departure my aunt never slept a wink : she missed the snoring. The second night passed away in the same manner, without sleep. She was getting into a very bad way, and would possibly have died had it not been for the ingenuity of a servant girl; she took the coffee mill into my aunt’s chamber, and ground her to sleep at once.” ROSS & RIVERS, m mmomsm WILL practice their profession in this and; the adjoining counties. %* Office at Ath ens under the Newton House, and at Oxford,Ga.
