THE FRENCHMAN OVERBOARD.
The Picayune is responsible for the fol
lowing excellent story:
“We heard a good story the other day
of a Frenchman who came very near com
mitting involuntary suicide by drowning
himself in the Ohio. That classic stream
Ir.'.s lately been very low, there only be
ing sufficient water to permit the passage
of very small sized boats. On one of these
a Frenchman, just arrived from la belle
France, and consequently ignorant of man
ners and customs on western steamboats,
had taken passage from Pittsburgh to New
Oileans. The water was very low, the
stream very contracted, and the bars very
frequent. Every few miles the boat would
get hard a ground on one of these impedi
ments, while its passengers would be an
noyed by the sight of-wore fortunate pedes
trians wading from Kentucky to Ohio or
vice versa. One day the boat as usual
struck on a bar, where she seemed like to
be a permanent fixture until the next spring
freshet should float her oil'. After many
expedients had been tried in vain to move
her from her position the pilot said to the
passengers who were on the hurricanedeck;
Now, gentlemen, all run forward at once
and I th'nk she'll go over just as easy as
falling ofl a log.” Accordingly all started
oil as if they were running fora wager and !
our Frenchman, without exactly knowing
why, bnt having an indistinct notion that
something was wrong, not only followed
.'r example, but soon outstripped the
rot. Just at this moment some malicious
Individual called out •* Jump, jump,” which j
word the Frenchman happened to under
sty So instead of stopping where the ;
others did, to the astonishment of every
body be threw himself head long into the
river. A yawl was immediately lowered
a t 1 the poor Frenchman was rescued from
his perilous position without having siis
laiticd any injury except a thoiough wetting
and a fright. As soon as he could speak
tie said w iih an expression of anger wh ck,
taken m connection with his words, was
lather ludicrous:
‘■Vat you mean by say ‘Jump, jump” 1
\oa tell me to jump, and vour damn boat
no blow up at nil, and I get one ducking
for nothing eh 1”

A QUIET MEDITATOR.
A young Englishman, while at Naples,
I was introduced at ail assembly of one of
the first I allies, by a Neapolitan gentleman;
while lie was the.e. his snuff-box was
stolen from him The next day, being at
another house, he saw a person taking
, snulTout of his box. He ran to his friend
—“There,’’said he, “that man in blue,
with gold embroidery, is faking snuff out
of the box stolen from me yesterday. Do
you know bun ? Is he not a sharpei V ’
“Take care,” said the olher, “that man
is of the first quality.”
“ 1 do not care for his quality,” said the
Englishman, “ 1 must have my snuff-box
again ; I will go and ask for it.”
“Pray be quiet,” said his friend, “and
leave it me to get back your box.”
Upon this answer the Englishman went
away, after inviting his friend to dine with
him the next day. He accordingly cane,
and, as he entered, said, “There, I have
brought you your snuff-box.”
“ Well, how did you obtain it 1”
“Why, I did not wish to make any noise
about it, and so I picked his pocket of it.”
Where are mv pants.— The Lowell i
Journal gives an account of a rich scene
that occurred in one of the Lowell hotels j
recently. A lodger who had been on a
spree the previous evening, arose in the
morning and rung his bell violently. Boots
appeared. “Where are my pants? I
locked my door last night, and somebody
has stolen them.” Boots was green, and a
little terrified. He left, however, struck
with a sudden thought, and returned with
the identical pants. The landlord was
called to receive complaints against Boots:
but he made it evident that the man had
put out hi- pantaloons to be blacked, in- 1
stead of his boots. The lodger left in the
first train.

DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.
When the body is naturally well formed,
it is possible to lengthen out the period of
life for some years by management. Tem
perance in diet is often found conducive to
this end. The famous Cornaro who lived
to above a hundred years, although his con
stitution was naturally feeble, is a strong
instance of the benefit of an abstemious life
Moderation in the passions aLo may con
tribute to extend the term of existence.
Fontenelle, the celebrated vvritei, wa
naturally of a very weak and delicate hab
it of body. He was affected by the smni -
est irregularities; and had frequently suf
fered severe fits of illness from the slight
est causes. But the remarkable equality
of his temper, and his seeming want of pas
sion, lengthened out his life to above a hun
dred. It was remarkable of him, that noth
ing could vex or make him uneasy: evvv
occurrence seemed equally pleasing; and
no event, however unfortunate, seemed to
come unexpecied. However, the term of
life can he prolonged but for a very little
time by any art we can use. We are told
of men who have lived beyond the ordina
ry duration of human existence; such as
Pair, who lived to a hundred and forty-four:
and Jenkins, 1o a hundred and sixty-five;
yet these men use ! no peculiar arts to pro
long life; mi the contrary, it appears that
these, as well as others, remarkable for
their longevity, were peasants accustomed
to the greatest fatigues, who had no settled
rules of diet, but who often indulged in ac
cidental excesses. Indeed, if we consider
that the European, the Negro, the Chinese,
I and the American, the civilized man and
Abe savage, lb. rich and the poor, the io
ID 00 El iii 180 8° WSSE&W ©l3llll*
habitant of the city and the country, though
all so different in ether respects, are yet en
tirely similar in the period allotted them for
living: if we consider that neither the dif
ference of race, of climate, of nourishment,
of convenience, or of soil, makes any dif
ference in the term of life ; if we consider
that those men who live upon raw flesh, or
dried fishes, upon sago, or rice, upon cas
sava, or upon roots nevertheless live as
long as those who arc fed upon bread and
meat; we shall readily he brought to ac
knowledge, that the duration of life de
pends neither upon habit, customs, nor the
quantity of food ; we shall confess, that
nothing can change the laws of that me
chanism which regulates the number of our
years, and which can chiefly he affected on
ly by long fasting, or great excess.
If there lie any difference in thedifierent
periods of man’s existence, it ought princi
pally to he ascribed to the quality of the
air. It has been observed, that in elevated
situations there have been found more old
people than in those that were low. The
mountrins of Scotland, Wales, Auvergne,
and Switzerland, have furnished more in
stances of extreme old age, than the plains
of Holland, Flanders, Germany, or Poland.
But, in general, the duration of life is near
ly the same in most countries. Man, if
not cut off by accidental disease, is often
found to live to ninety or a hundred years.
Our ancestors did not live beyond that date;
and since the times of David, this term has
undergone little alteration. —Oliver Gold
smith.
THE METEOR.
A piece of stone, a fragment of the
‘Aerolite’ which made the rumbling noise
on Wednesday evening the 31st ultimo,
lias been found on the land of Mr. Hiram
Bost of Cabarrus count), N. C. There is
no doubt of its being a veritable fragment
of the meteoric stone, as per.-ons in the
immediate vicinity were much alarmed
from its whistling through the air close by
them, attended by an indistinct kind of
light. The direction of the sound and
light together, led to the discovery of the
place where the stone fell. The fact is
further authenticated from the stone's cut
ting a place in a log as it fell, and bury
ing itself some eight or ten inches in the
ground—a freak that could not have been
accomplished by any human agency, un
less it had been shot by a 3G pounder,
from a balloon.
Os Aerolites in general, we say nothing
in particular, as there are so many theories
in relaiion to them. We should suggest
to the man in the moon, with all due def
erence, that ‘people who live in glass
houses should mind how they throw
stones.’
We have seen a small specimen of this
stone, which is said by those acquainted
with geology, to resemble trap rock. We
would rather not be caught under such
traps ourself. It tooks much like the
rocks over which wa’er has for a long
time run. This is accounted for by some,
from its having been in the clouds.
DISTANCE OF THE STARS.
After much close attention, and an em
ployment of the finest instruments, paral
lax has heed detected in about 35 of the
stars. The nearest star ye! discovered is
Alpha Centauri, the parallax of which is
912 thousandths of a second. Hence, its
distance from us is about 21 millions of
millions of miles, or about 12 thousands
times the distance of Uranus from the sun.
A parallax of 3483 ten thousandths of a
second has been found in 61 Cygni, and
of 25 hundredths of a second in Alpha
Lyrte. The smallest parallax discovered
is 92 hundred thousandths of a second.
The distance of that star from us is conse
quently 224.500,000 radii of the eaith’s
orbit, to travel over which space light
would take 3.241 years. ‘Yet how small
in all probability is this distance compared
with those of some of the remoter nebulae,
which present themselves in the field of
view in the most perfect instruments yet
constructed as an almost inappreciable haze
of light, though possibly constituting the
accumulated light of a system of stars, not
infeiior in number and brightness to those
which compose our Milky Way, of which
the immense space comprehended within
the range of vision of the naked eye, forms
an almost infmitcstimal portion!’— Am.

ICE SWAMP NEAR THE SOUTH
PASS.
A correspondent of the Rochester Al
- writing from the Salt Lake, des
cribes ft natural curiosity existing on the
S.vect Water River, a few miles above the
well known Devil’s Gate, below the South
I’nss, iii .he shape of w hat he culls an ice
swamp—that is, a marshy glen on the
south hank of the stream, in which, after
digging through about 18 inches of peaty
soi 1 , a stratum of ice is reached, from two
to s \ inches thick. He says it is ‘pure
and perfect ice,’ but adds, somewhat con
tra .ictorily- that it has ‘ a saline or alka
line ta-te.’ Be this, however, as it may.
we need not go so far as the South I’assto
wonder over the rarity of the soil beneath
which ice is to he found in the summer
time. There is a similar curiosity exist
ing in Hampshire county, Virginia, in the
ice mountain, as it is called; a high kill,
upon the north-western side of which is a
stiatum of loose rocks some three feet
deep, on removing which ice may be dis
covered in unknown abundance, at all
seasons of the year. —North American.

THE FARMER—A BEAUTIFUL
PICTURE.
The man who stands upon his own soil,
who feels lhat by the laws of the land in
which he lives—by the laws of civilized
! nations —he is the rightful and exclusive
owner of the land which he tills, is by the
constitution of our nature, under a whole
some influence, not easily imbibed from
any other source, lie feels—other things
being equal—more strongly than another
the character of a man is the lord of the
inanimate world. Os this great and won
derful sphere, which fashioned by the hand
|of God, and upheld by his power, is roll
ing through the heavens, a portion is his ;
j his from the centre to the sky. It is the
space on which the generation before him
moved in its rounds ot duties ; and he feels
! himself connected, by a visible link, with
: those who proceeded him, as he is also, to
those who will follow him, and to whom
he is to transmit a home. Perhaps his
! farm has come down to him from his fath
! trs. They have gone to their last home:
hut he can trace their footsteps over the
scenes of his daily labors. The roof
which shelters him was reared by those to
whom he owes his being. Some interest
ing domestic tradition is connected with
every enclosure. The favorite fruit tree
was planted by his father’s hand. He
sported in his boyhood beside the brook,
which still winds through the meadow.
Through the field lies the path to the vil
lage school of earliest days. He still hears
from his window the voice of the Sabbath
bell, which called his fathers and his fore
fathers to the house of God, and near at
hand is the spot where his parents lav
down to rest, and w here, when his time is
come, he shall be laid by his children. —
Tlie-e are the feelings of the owner of the
soil. Words cannot paint them—gold can
not buy them : they flow out of the deep
est fountains of the heart ; they are the
life-spring of a fresh, healthy, and gener
ous national character.
A NIGHT UNDER AN AVALANCHE.
There was, in the interior, a native of
Aosta, who meant to leave us at Martigny,
for the purpose of traversing the Great St.
Bernard, at the exaggerated dangers of
which pass he laughed very heartily. Ac
cidents, he admitted, did sometimes over
take travellers in lhat part of the Alps,
but, generaly, he said, the pass of the St.
Bernard was open and safe throughout the
year, except during the continuance of
snow-storms. He had himself, a few
years previously, in another pass, the name
of which I forget, been overtaken by one
of these in company with an English fam
ily returning from Italy, and been witness
of the way in which the elements some
times perform the office of sexton. They
set out early in the morning, and arrived
a little before nightfall, at a part of the
pass which, owing to the driving of the
winds, is easily choked up. The snow
had begun to fall about an hour and a
half previously, and was now pouring
down the ravine before the blast, blinding
both horses and postillions, and bringing
along with it premature night. They hail
hoped to reach the summit before the dark
ness set in ; hut the horses furnished them
were weak, and the snow for the last hour,
at least, had greatly retarded their progiess.
How he came to be in the Englishman's
carriage, he did not explain. I fancy our
countryman had invited him out of sheer
politeness. The party’ consisted of five in
all—the husband and wife, the Italian, the
nurse, and the little baby. How it comes
to pass I know not, but it generally hap
pens that the English, when overtaken by
danger, display qualities which astonish
foreigners. On the occasion in question,
all the solicitude of the husband seemed to
he concentrated in the wife, while all hers
was in the baby. Self seemed equally
absent in the minds of both. The nurse,
for her part, displayed the most stoicism,
except that as the cold increased, and the
snow-drifts beat more and more furiously
against the carriage windows, she pressed
the child more closely to her breast, and i
protected it from the influence of the air
with a greater allowance of shawls. Our
friend from Aosta, who understood thor
oughly the perils of the position, went on
talking with the hu.-baml, who. while his
eyes were fixed upon his wife and child,
appeared calm and collected, though, from
certain thundering noises above, it appear
ed probable that the avalanches were in
motion. At every ten yards, the carriage
was stopped by the accumulated snow.
•Jane,’ said the husband at length to his
wife, ‘tie up your throat carefully; we
may have'to walk presently, ana you,
nurse, nuke the baby comfortable, and
give him to me.’
The nurse obeyed, the mother, looking
anxiously at her child, inquired, with
surpresse l earnestness:
‘ William is there any danger?’
‘ \es, a little, love, just enough to im
part an air of romance to our a (venture.’
‘Hark,’ exclaimed the wife, ‘what’s
that ?’
‘ My God,’ rried the nurse. 1 the moun
tain has fallen on us.’
Just at that instant a loud shout was
heard Lorn the men outside, followed by
a suppressed stuggle and a groan, and then !
the most complete silence. All motion
was at the same time arrested in the catri
age, awUon applying the lamp to the car- i
riagc windows it was perceived that they
were embedded in thick snow.
1 What is to be done?’ exclaimed the
Englishman, addressing himself to our
friend from Aosta. ‘Can your experience
suggest any means of extricating ourselves
from this position ? If we force our way
out do you think it possible we could
reach some place of shelter 1’
‘No,’ answered he, ‘that is impossible.
All we can do is to remain where we are;
they will dig us out in the morning.’
‘And the drivers,’ observed the Eng
lishman, a sudden thought flashing across
his mind, ‘what is to become of them;
they will die of cold V
‘They are dead already,’ answered the
Aostan, ‘ the first stroke of the avalanche
extinguished life in them; what you heard
was their death-groan.’
‘lmpossible!’ cried our countryman, ‘1
must force my way out, and endeavor to
drag them hither.’
The confined space in which they had
to breathe would have rendered it necessa
ry to let down the windows, at the risk of
admitting a quantity of snow ; hut all
egress was impracticable. They were en
tombed, as it were, in the avalanche, which
fortunately for them, was soft and spongy,
permitting air to pass through its pores;
yet the iieat became almost insufferable,
and once during the night the la Iv fainte I.
Travelling carriages in the Alps are al
ways supplied with provisions and restora
tives, with brandy, &.c.,; and as our coun
tryman never once lost his presence of
mind, everything practicable was done for
wile, and nurse, and child. What their
language and feelings were may possibly
be imagined. All our friend from Aosta
could say was, that it was very terrible,
which he uttered in a tone more significant
than his words. Well, morning came at
last, as they knew by consulting their
watches; but it brought no light with it,
aa 1 for some time no sound. At length
a confused rumbling was heard through
the snow, which died away, and came
again by fits, till at length it became evi
dent that it was the voices of men. After
a protracted interval, a gleam of daylight
entered the carriage, Ihe snow was cleared
partially away, and the welcome face of
a rustic was beheld peering down upon
them. Their deliverance was now speedy
and they were conveyed half dead to a
chalet, together with the bodies of the
driver and postillions.
‘ Such accidents, ’ said our friend, ‘ are
rare.!
‘ll is to be hoped so,’ exclaimed Madame
Caili: -and what became of the English
lady?’
‘ Oh, the whole party escaped without
injury, and next year I saw them pa s
again into Italy, so little had they heen
daunted hy the perils they had escaped.—
