> i . t, > vi \ going ot a young flu* dining room was on k voml Hour, and ihc principal V . fine roast fowl. When the v gentleman undertook to carve it • found the knife rather dull, and, a sudden passion, Hung it down ‘.airs after the servant who had just brought it ; whereupon the young man seined tin’ fowl, and with ad mirable dexterity living it after the knife. “ What on earth do you mean ?” exclaiimnl the ohl man, as soon as he could speak. “ 1 beg vour pardon.” was the oi*>l reply, “ 1 thought you were going to ot.ee down stairs.” There is no peacemaker xe a good dinner. Discontent. —Discontent is * sin that is its own pan uicn% ami makes men lot tie: t themselves: it makes the sp: a sa. —the body sick —and all the caaoytaents sour; it arises not P c. :: a condition, hut the mind. I*aa* was contented in prison; Ah > was discontented in a palace; e had :i!i Me delights of Canaan, that pleasant land, the wealth of a kingdom, the pleasures ot a. court, the hoimrs and power of a throne; yet nil this avails him nothing without Naboth’s vineyard. Inordinate desire exposes men to continual vexations, and being dis posed to fret, they will always find something to fret about.— (Mathew Henry. A Cold. —“Do von know what it is,” says Lamb, “to succumb un der an insurmountable day mare \— an indispostinn to do anything, or to he anything—a total dead ness and distaste—a suspension of vital ity—an indifference to locality—a numb, soporifical good-for-nothing ness—an ossification all over—an oyster-like indifference to passing events —a mind stupor —a brawny defiance to the needles of a thrust ing in conscience—with total irre solution to submit to water-gruel processes?” A Fine Black Varnish for Coaches and Iron Work. —'Take two ounces of bitumen of Palestine, iwoounces ot rosin, and twelve ounces of umber; molt them separately, and afterwards mix them together over a. moderate lire. Then pour upon them, while on the fire, six ounces of clear boiled linseed oil, and keep stirring the whole from time to time; take it off the fire, and, when pretty cool, pour in twelve ounces of life essence of turpentine. Clerical Wit. —An old gentleman of eightv-four, having taken to the altar a young damsel of about six teen, the clergyman said to him— “ L he font is at the other end of the Church.” “W hat do I want with the fontr” said the old gentleman. “O ! I beg your pardon,” said the clerical wit, “1 thought you had brought this child to be christened.” There is no book so cheap as a newspaper; none so interesting, because it consists of a variety, measured out in suitable portions as to tune and quality. Being new every day or week, it invites to habits ot reading, and affords an easy wav of acquiring knowledge, so essential to the individual and comm unit v. Hereditary Misfortune. —A gentle man speaking of the wife of a cer tain nobleman, lamented very much that she had no children ; upon which a medical man who was pre sent observed, that to have no child ren was a great misfortune, but he thought he had remarked it was hereditary in some families. Jenny Lind lately made the following contribution to a lady’s album : “ In vain I seek for rost, Ip nil created good : It leaves ine ail ill unblest, And makes mo cry for God— At. rest be sure 1 cannot cannot be, Until my heart finds rest in Thee.” Genin, — The hatter who bought the first ticket to tffe performance of Jenny Lind atNew-York, is thus .fejed in the transatlantic papers. It is headed **■ (Jenin’s Motives.” • 41 Don’t fancy there’s any revealing Oi a heart that could easily melt; It wasn’t a matter of feeling, ltut merely a matter of felt!” A story is told of a hypochon driac gentleman of rank and for tune in Ireland, who fancies one of his legs is of one religion, and the other of another. Pie not unfre quently puts one of his unfortunate legs outside the bed to punish it for its religious errors. ‘ Humble as 1 am,’ said a bullying spouter to a mass meeting of the unterrified, ‘I still remember that I am a fraction of this magnificent re public.’ 4 You are, indeed,’ said a bystander, * and a vulgar one at that.’ Hook and a friend came to a bridge: “Do you know who built this bridge ?” asked he of Hook. “No ; but if you go over you’ll be A (iixul Character. —A good char acter is to a young man what a firm foundation is to the artist who proposes to erect a building on it; he can build with safety, and all who behold it will have confidence in its solidity, a helping hand will never be wanted ; but let a single part of ibis be defective, and you go a hazard, amidst doubting and distrust, and ten to one it will tum ble down at last, and mingle all that was built on it in ruin. With out a good character, poverty is a curse —with it, it is scarcely nti evil. Happiness cannot exist where a good character is not. All that is bright in the hope of vomh, all that is calm and blissful in the sober scenes of life, all that is soothing in the vale of years, centres in, and is derived from, a good character.— Therefore, acquire this as the first and most valuable. There is but one road to perman ent happiness and prosperity, and that is the path of unspotted integ rity, of high-souled honor, of the most transparent honesty. A Spunky Jf i/e. —A middle aged farmer and his wife were enjoying a winter evening cosily together, when the conversation turned upi n religious matters, as described in the Bible, which the man had open before him. “ Wife,” said the farmer. “I’ve been thinking what happy society Solomon must have had in his day, with so many wives, &c., as is here represented.” “ Indeed !” said the wife, some what miffed. “You had better think of something else, then. A pretty Solomon you would make, truly; you can’t take proper care ot one wife. What a figure you would cut, then, with a dozen wives, and all of them as spunky as 1 am !” The farmer took his hat and went to the stable to feed the cattle for the night. True Hospitality. —“ 1 pray you, () excellent wife, cumber not your self and me, to get a curiously rich dinner for this man or woman who has alighted at our gates ; nor a bed chamber made ready at too great a cost; these things, these things, if they are ’curious in them, they can get for a few shillings in any village; but rather let the stranger see, if he will, in our looks, accents, and behavior, your heart and ear nestness, your thought and will, which he cannot buy at any price in any city, and which he may well travel twenty miles, and dine spare ly and sleep hardly, to behold. Let not the emphasis of hospitality lie in bed and board ; but let truth and honor and courtesy flow in all thy deeds.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is a vulgar notion that polite ness is only required towards supe riors. But the truth is, that every man ought to regard his fellow man, or friend, as his superior, and treat him accordingly. Such feeling the real gentleman always has. “Let each esteem others better than him self,” says an Apostle. This is the very soul of good manners. A reverend gentleman while vis iting a parishioner, had occasion in the course of conversation to refer to the Bible, and on asking for the article, the master of the house ran to bring it, and came back with two leaves of the book in his hand.— “ I declare,” says he, “ this is all we’ve got in the house ; I’d no idea we were so near out.” Rapid Consumption. —That was a frightful case of consumption that of the little Dutch Governor, men tioned by Knickerbocker, who pined away so rapidly that when he died there was nothing left of him to bury. __ George Selwyn was one day walking with Lord Pembroke, when they were besieged by a number of chimney-sweepers, who kept pla guing them for money. At length Selwyn made them a low bow. “I have often heard,” said he, “of the sovereignty of the people , 1 sup pose your highnesses are in court mourning.” True Grcat7icss. —lt is easy in the world to live after the world’s opi nion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own. But the great man is he who, in the midst of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of his character.— Emerson. The finest cosmetic we know of is early rising, exercise in the open air, temperance in eating and drink ing, cleanliness, and last, though not least, perpetual good humor.— Keep your face with a smile on it, as smiles are easily implanted by cultivation on the human counte nance. When a man attempts to tie his cravat around a lamp-post, you may presume he lias been imbib ing something, or inhaling chloro form. There are trees so tall in Wiscon sin that it takes two men and a boy to look to the top of them. One looks till he gets tired, and another commences where he left off—Amer ican Paper .

Whistle Your Lobster Back !—A man had received a large lot of lobsters, fresh and lively, when a boy stood looking at the critteis, ac companied by his dog. “ Suppose you put your dog’s tail between the lobster’s claw V” said the man. “Agreed,” said the boy. They peg was extracted from the claw, and the dog’s tail inserted. Away went the dog off’ home, howling at the squeeze his tail got from the lobster, “ Whistle your dog back, you young scamp,” said the man. “Whistle your lobster back,” cried the boy and absquatulated. The hoy made a lobster supper that night. “ Not long since,” writes an old friend and correspondent, “as I was returning from Buffalo, 1 was amus ed, while the cars made a momen tary stop, at a demonstration made by a man, on his way to the State Lunatic Asylum, at Utica. He was standing on the track, in front of the ‘ iron horse.’ ‘ You ihink you are something !’ he said, looking wildly at the locomotive, and assuming a boxing attitude; ‘ but look o’ here : I can whip you! I’ve flogged the fiery bulls of Bashati, and broken their horns ofF! Say ! don’t you stand there, whis tling and smoking, like a black guard in a bar-room ; jest jump to me, and I'll take the conceit out of you, you old cooking-stove on iv heels !” If life be a battle, bow mad must he be who fails to arm himself for the contest. If life be a storm, how infa tuated is he who sleeps while his bark is driven amid unknown wa ters. If life be a pilgrimage, how unwise is he who strays from the right road, nor seeks to return until the twilight shadows gather round his pathway. Under the heading, “ Henry Glav and the Boatmen,” the St. Louis Intelligencer of the 20th has the following paragraph :—“ The other day three barrels of (lour were shipped from this city, on the Pike No. 9, to the Hon. Henry Clay. In filling up the bill of lading, the clerk inserted in the blank space left for the price of the freight, these words: ‘For the love of the man*’ As our millers have offered to supply Mr. Clay with flour, free of cost, and as the steamboats re fuse to make any charge for freight, the ‘Sage of Ashland’ need incur very little expense for bread, for the remainder of his life. These little matters indicate very signifi cantly the profound hold which he lias upon the respect and aficctions of the people.” A gentleman was distinguished for his attachment to the society of ladies. Where ladies were present one evening, the subject of conver sation was the doctrine of Pithago ras. The gentleman remained si lent. One of the party —remarka- ble for the whiteness of her neck— asked his opinion. “Do vou believe in the transmi •/ gration of souls, sir?” “ O yes, madam!” “And pray, may I inquire what creature’s form you would prefer hereafter to inhabit?” “ A fly’s, madam.” “A fly?” “ Yes, that I might have the pleasure, at some future day, of resting on your ladyship’s neck.” “ Positively, the best thing,” says Lamb, “ a man can have to do is nothing, and next to that perhaps , good works.” JOHN JAMES AUDUBON. This distinguished man w r as one of the most remarkable men of the age. An ardent student and ail ad mirer of nature, he early prepared himself by his studies, for that bril liant career as a naturalist, which has marked his whole life. He was born in Louisiana, of French parents ; in Paris, which he visited in boyhood, he learned the art of painting. With a mind full of ro mance, roused to enthusiasm by his studies, and being well provided by art with the power to picture the or nithological varieties which people the American forests, he set off early with his family to find a home in the western wilds, where he could pursue to the greatest advantage his favorite studies. He took up his residence in Kentucky in ISIO, trav ersed the forests and sailed down the streams, sketching and descri bing the various birds which attrac ted his notice. For twenty years he continued these perilous and romantic excur sions, enduring all kinds of vicissi tudes and privations. His great work, the Ornithological Biography, is the result of these labors, one thou sand dollars each, paid him the price of his labor. Eighty of them were taken in our own country, the rest were subscribed in Europe. His fame as a naturalist had preceded him in Europe, and in IS2-1, when he went to that country to publish his work, Ilerschel, Cuvier, and his old friend Ilumbolt, who had pene trated the same tropical regions with him, were delighted to honor him At the age of sixty he had all the sprightliness and vigor of u young man. In person he was tall and remark ably well made. His aspect sweet and animated. His whole head was remarkably striking. The forehead high, arched ; the hairs of the brow prominent, particularly at the root of the nose, which was long and aquiline; chin prominent,and mouth characterized by energy and deter mination. The eyes were dark gray, set deeply in the head, and as restless as the glance of the eagle. He had no faith in genius, but be lieved that a man could make him self whatever he pleased ; and if all possessed his energy and deter mination perhaps they could. As an illustration of his decision of character the following are given : On one occasion, when some great and perilous adventure was pro posed to him by a friend, he decided to undertake it. On being asked when he would commence his jour ney, he replied “Tomorrow!”— When the sun rose, Audubon was on his way. Another illustration quite as significant will be found in his own writings. It was at a pe riod when he had lost all—nearly a thousand —of his drawings—by fire, and no means of replacing them but by the renewal of the labors which had created them. He has said of that event, “The burning heat which rushed through m} T brain, when I saw my loss, was so great, I slept not for several nights, and my (.lays were oblivion—but I took up my gun, note book, and pencils, and went forth to the woods as gayly as if nothing had happened. I could make better drawings than before—in three years my portfolio was filled.”— Phila. Ledger. Marie —Her early youth passed away in sorrow; she grew up in tears, a stranger to the amusements of youth, and its more delightful schemes and imaginations. She was not, however, unhappy; she attributed, indeed, no merit to her self for her virtues, but for that rea son were they the more her reward. The peace which passeth all under standing disclosed ilscdl in all her looks, and movements. It lav on her countenance like a steady, un shadowed moonlight; and in her voice, which was naturally at once sweet and subtle, crime from her like the fine flute tones of a master ly performer, which still lloating at some uncertain distance, seem to be created by the player, rather than to proceed from the instrument. If you had listened to it, in one of those brief sabbaths of the soul when the activity and discursiveness of the thoughis are suspended, and the mind quietly eddies round, instead of flowing onwards—(as at late evening, in the spring, I have seen a bat wheel in silent circles round and round a fruit tree in full blos som, in the midst of which, as within a close tent, of the purest white, an unseen nightingale was piping its sweetest notes,)- —in such a mood, you might have half-fan cied, half-felt, that her voice had a separate being of its own ; that it was a living something, whose mode oF existence was for the early only: so deep was resignation, so entirely had it become the uncon scious habit of her nature, that in all she did or said, so perfectly were both her movements and her utter ance without effort, and without the appearance of eflort.— Coleridge. We do not dislike men so much when they are ruining themselves : it is only after they are ruined. If one asks a question and anoth er answers it, which is the oddest fellow? The queerest (querist)!
