m I m © £ Ik ic A K T * Oyster Sm/p in Massachusetts —llow they make and how sell it. At the late cattle show at Worces ter, away out in the heart ot the estate, we saw a chap’ standing against the side ot a house, hemmed in by a long counter’ ‘*ll in a row a deuced sight of small pint, common delf bowls. What thought we, in the name of wonder, is that fellow after with all these howls? So we took a peep into the bottom of one, and there was a mite of hotter, a spice of pepper and a thimble-j full of salt —all uniting for we couldn’t, think: what. But presently a half dozen land-lubbers | came irp, each calling for his bowl of soup. (, j we kept our eye ’on em ; but how was the oystei soup to be so readily had ? ‘I he problem was soon solved. Jonathan snatched up a large hard ci acker and with one halt turn between bis hands, in an instant ground it into bits —threw one cracket into each bowl, on top ot butter and pepper and salt already there cut and dried ; and then tur ning half round seized the long handle of a ladle j and as quick as thought from ihe kettle behind j him, filled each bowl with hot oyster, liquor. The . countrvman each seemed to relish his soup, guessed it was “ part icier nice,” paid their font pence and went their wav, all parties well satis fied. Now perhaps the oysterman made one cent on a bowl, but then he sold to hundreds; and so it is with railroads, and every thing else. J hey charge little, hut they do a gnat deal ,* and all then roads, and factories, and banks are popular, for they serve the convenience of all, and feel inlet ested in their permanen e and prosperity Ah ! thev are wonderful people, those ankees ! 1 hey know the benefit of having the loom and the an vil near to the plough. — Plough , Loom and Anvil. Hungary. —The later numbers of the British Periodicals, republished by Scott and Cos., have an universal variety of interesting and instructive articles. Among other subjects, both the Edin burgh and Westminster Reviews take up the history and condition of Hungary ; and we have (espec ially in the Westminster) a very satisfactory view of whatever pertains both to the past and the present of that heroic country. Her persevering! struggles for freedom, the treachery and ingrat-j itude practiced towards her by Austria, and her present encounter with the Austrians and Rus sians combined, fully entitle her to the attention and sympathy of every Christian and patriot, — She is battling for the rights of conscience, for taxation based on fair representation, and indeed for most, if not all, the objects of our own Atner ; ican Revolution. It is hard to extinguish the spark of liberty when once kindled ; and it would seem still to have survived in the heart of Europe, when ma ny thought it extinguished under the iron heel of a triple despotism, when Poland was overthrown and dismembered. It has reappeared in the plains and fastness of Hungary, which were of ten the battle-field between the Turk and the Christian, and which arc now the theatre of anoth er struggle between despotism and liberty- She may fall; but it will not be like lucifer, never to rise again. The issue depends mainly on the hearty union of her people among themselves If they are united as they ought to be, Russia and Austria can no more subdue her ten millions of inhabitants, than annihilate her Carpathian moun tains. A letter from a mail agent at Sandusky, Ohio thus gives the rise and progress of anew and genuine cholera specific, it any doubt it let him try it : “ Four Irishmen were at work on our road some fifty miles from here, near a small village. One was attacked with cholera, cramp, &c. A doc tor was called, who administered medicine andj left directions with the other three to rub his body and limbs until the skin looked red They stretched him out, naked upon a rough plank, and at it they went with cloths, in good earnest for a while, hut got tired ; and finding no symptoms of vitality coming to the surface, they concluded to try something more substantial. One held him on the plank, while the other two, each with a brickbat, went at him again, and literally skinned their companion, and saved Ins life 1 He is still suffering very much from the loss of his hide, but is out of danger from cholera.” Col. Washington Cushing died at his place of residence in South Hingham, Mass., on the 23d. inst. He was born on the Bth of January, 1772 and was, con equeniK, in His 74th year. During the war of 1812, Col. Cushing was in command of the regiment, stationed at the Castle in Boston harbor, and was ever distinguished for his prompt ness, fidelity and zeal in the discharge of his mil itary as well as of all the other duties in life. Last evening Lieut. Edward C. Bowers, U. S. N., met Mr. Crowningshield, Secretary to Com modore Downes, at the National Hotel, Charles town, and without saying a word, or giving him any warning, inflicted upon his breast, with adirk knite, two wounds, one of which was in the region ot the heart. The parlies have not been on friendly terms for a long time. Bowers was yesterday ordered on board the Germantown, which is about to sail, and was much disatisfied at receiv ing the order. He thinks that the man whom he slabbed was the means of his beiug ordered away.— —Boston Transcript, 26th ult. | Music in the Reign of Elizabeth. —The follow ling extract from “Burgh’s anecdotes of Music, shows the progress of instrumental music in ! land during the last three centuries : ln.>trurnen tal music during the reign of Elizabeth mat e >ui small progress towards that state ot pi r ection u hicli It has since attained. The lute and v erg cm, l were the only instruments for which any tolerable ! music seems to have been expressly composed. The violin was then hardly known by the Eng lish ; and therefore that superior powerof express ing almost all that a human voice can produce, !except the articulation of words, seemed at that time*so utterly impossible, that it was not consid ered a gentleman’s instrument, or worthy of being admitted into good company. Viols of various sizes with six strings, and fretted like a guitar, began indeed to he employed in chamber-con certs; for when the performance was public, tlie.-e instruments were too feeble for the obtuse organs of our Golhic ancestors; and the wretched state of our regal music in the time ol Henry \ 111, 1530, may he gathered from the accounts given in Hall’s and Hollinshed’s Chronicles, of a masque at Cardinal Wolsey’s palace at Whitehall, where the King was entertained with a conart of drums andJifes ! But this was soft music, compared with that of his heroic daughter Elizabeth who, accord ing to Henxner, used to be regaled during dinner with lW( lvc trumpets and two kettle-drums; w hich, to gether with fifes, cornets and side-drums , made the hall ring for half an hour together.” O c* JYhat Mr. Brown denies to be “ Aristocratic ” Wri ting.— I say thus much because one or two peo ple have taken some remarks of mine in ill part, and hinted that I am a Tory in disguise : and an aristocrat that should be hung up to the lamp post. Not so, dear Bob : there is nothing like the truth, about whomsoever it may be. I mean no more disrespect towards any fellow-man by sav ing that he is not what is called in society well bred, than by stating that he is not tall or short, or that he cannot dance, or that he does not know 7 Hebrew 7 , or whatever the case may he. I mean that if a man works with a pickaxe or shovel all day, his hands will he harder than those of a lady of fashion, and that his opinion about Madame Sontag’s singing, or the last new novel, will not probably lie of much value. And though l own uiv conviction that there are some animals which frisk advantageously in ladies’ drawing-rooms whilst others pull stoutly at the plough, I do not most certainly mean to reflect upon a horse for not being a lap-dog, or see that he has any cause to be ashamed that he is other than a horse.— Punch. The Mexicans attribute the success of the Uni ted States in the late war, to the educated char acter of our officers, and accordingly the journ ils of that country are urging upon the government the establishment of military schools similar to ours at West Point. Without detracting from the actual merits of our officers, w*e think there is another cause to be considered in the calculation audit is—ihe educated character af the people. Our soldiers are freemen, without distinction of caste or worldly allotment, and when they fight, each man feels himself a sovereign. Such is not the case with the Mexican soldiery. Poor fellows! they ha ve little to boast of in their condition that may not fairly lie claimed by ihe meanest serf in Europe. Let the Mexican authorities adopt measures for the mental and physical develop ment of the masses, and they need not erect aca demies for instruction of military science. There is a rumor afloat in this city, as w T e learn from Mr. Kendall, who took charge of his libra ry and rooms, that Dr. A. Randal has been killed in the wilderness on the route to the Rorkv Moun tains. The news is said to have been brought by Mr. Johnson. The man who is said to ha ve killed Dr. Bandal! lived near Hamilton, in this State ; his name is given as Kirnbale. A quarrel about a mineral was the cause. — Gin. Com. 23d. ult. A daring attempt w T as made to rob the mail bags on board the steamer Princess Roval, on | her trip up from Kingston yesterday. The leather of one of the bags was cut through in the form of a cross, but the thieves had been disturbed be fore they had succeeded in abstracting the con tents. Suspicion fell upon Andrew'Stapleton and Collin McFadden, and they w r ere arrested.— Tor onto Globe 23th ult. We find the following character in an old lish novel entitled Rank and Talent: “There | was scarcely a piece of music which Miss Hen derson could not play at sight; but her style of playing w r as such as to weary rather than fasci nate, and to listen to the young lady’s dexterity on the piano-forte, was called 4 undergoing one of Miss Henderson’s sonatas.’” Do we not meet with these Miss Hendersons everyday? and is not the practice of nine masters out often, to en deavor to qualify his pupils rather to astonish than to please ? The fact is, the one is comparatively I an easy task ; the other requires taste, good sense, and a much more extensive knowledge of the art, its real object and capabilities, than ihe ma jority of masters possess. Part of the blame, however, must be placed to the account of parents, who too often are satisfied if their daughters can make a little present display, without asking | whether their acquirements are of a permanent kind, and likely to contribute to the happiness of that state in which they hope to pass the greater [portion of their lives. TO YOUNG MEN. Go, mv son, said an Estern sage of Mnzi, to young Talmor ; go forth into the world, be wi&e in the pursuit of knowledge; be wi-e in the choice of friends; yet little will this avail thee it ilron choosest not wisely the wife of thv bosom. When the rulers of the people echo thv saving, and'Jhe trumpets of frame send thy name abroad among the nations, more beautiful will the sun of thv glorv set if one bright cloud reflects its bright ness; but sullied forever will be the splendor of the rays, if, like a dark spot, she crosses the* surface. Consider this, then, mv son, and look well to her wavs whom thou wouldst love; for little will all else avail thee, if thou choosest not wi<elv the companion of thv bosom. See yonder, the maidens of Tinge—they deck themselves with the gems of Goleonda and the rose of Cashmere, to make themselves more beautiful; but ah’ take them not to thy bosom ; for the gem will grow dim and the rose wither, and nought will remain to thee of all thou didst woo arid win. Neither turn thyself to the proud one who vaunts herself on having scanned the pages of Venus, and fath om tied the mysteries of the Holy Temple. Wo man was not born to the sceptre, or to direct the council ; to reveal the mandates of Brahmas, or expound the sacred verses of Mena. Rather be it hers to support thee in grief, and soothe thee in! sickness ; to hide thv faults and forgive thy weak-J nesses ; rejoice in thy prosperity and cling to thee in adversity. Rolled, then, mv son, ere thou choosest, and look well to her wavs whom thou wouldst make the wife of thv bosom. A wife! what a sacred name ! what a responsible otfice ! She must be the unspotted sanctuary to which wearied man may llee from the crimes of the world, and feel that no sin dare enter there. A wife ! she must be the guardian angel of his footsteps on earth, and guide them to heaven ; so fiim in virtue that should he for a moment waver, she can yield him support, and replace him upon its firm foundation: so happy in conscious innocence that when from the perplexities of the world he returns to his house, he may never find a frown where he sought a smile. Such, mv son, thou seekest in a wife, and reflect well ere thou choosest. Open not thy bosom to a triHer, repose not thv head on the breast which pursued) envy, and folly, and van ity; hope not for obedience where passions are untamed, and expect not honor from her who hon-j ereth not the God who made her. Though they place her next to the throne of a prince, and the countenance of royalty beam upon thee ; though thv riches he as die pearls of Omar, and thy name lie honored from the East to the West, little will it avail thee, if darkness and disappointment and strife he in thine own habitation. There must he j thy hours of solitude and sickness, an I there thou j must die. Rellecr, then, my son, ere thou j and look well to her wavs whom thou wouldst love; for though thou be wise in all tilings, little will it avail thee, if thou choosest not wisely the wife of thy bosom.

Pronunciation. —The words A ! 1 apathy ; II myo pathy. and Hydropathy . are in mo t cast's errone ously pronounced. The following divisions show die true pronunciation, the emphasis being on the italicised syllables: Al-/o/>-a-Ihv, Ho-me-ep-a-lhv and H v-drop-a-\h v. These words are now in common household and iheir correct pronun ciation is therefore a matter of more than ordinary importance. Some of the Boston tailors, now on a strike, attempted violence upon a couple of journeymen who were working under wages at an employers j s f ore. The employer brought a hose pipe to hear! and in the midst of the excitement gave the crowd a dose of Cochiiuate. It was the most wholesale sponging of cloth that ever occurred! in that city, and effected the purpose. On the recommendation of their superintendent j ,J. D. Reid, Esq., the Directors of the various lines of Telegraph from Philadelphia to Louis ville, have voted to supply their various offices with libraries of scientific works, chiefly electric md chemical, for operators. A good move. The Legislature of Maine, just previous to ad journment, passed a homestead exemption law, hv which real estate to die amount of $-500 is to b * exempt from attachment for debts. Jf the dtbtorowns no real estate, then s*soo worth of personal property is to be free from execution. The Boston Transcript says that a young Bos tonian, who resided in that city less than two years ago, is now a lieutenant in the Hungarian army, under General Bern.
