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 I.AttGit Business on a Small Capital. —The snail quantity of language that a man can do business with is really surpris ing. A friend of outsat the Isthmussays. that four weeks after he arrived, he only h.. vc*i. r ‘sof Spanish ; and yet, l en ‘ he managed in less than a k : -riel with his washwoman, sue it hind.or!, and run away with an heiiess! To effect the latter, he says it was only necessary to use six, “fall in my arms, my love.” and she fell tn. 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. Innovations of tiif. Ladies. —Punch has seen with alarm “ladies vests” ad-J vertised in the newspapers.

People “stutter” because they hesitate. But who ever knew a woman to hesitate about anything ? Babies. — A work that should be in the hands of every marrieJ woman is a baby.

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. Cabinet. 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 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.— Tint's Magazine. 3E®v®lhsil!;l©:a m O^lbaS T ST RECEIVED, t he Vo vBo -k Store, Oil Col.i go A e lie, la lot •f N’ WHo '.s, of v>r os ki (Is ; New mil FadiionaMe logic; Toys ami Fan -y A tides ; India Rubber l>oll li ads, &c . &•*.
