How Jim Blander Sailed and Pickled the Quaker ‘Friend.’ There HvecLio a certain neighborhood not far distant fr*hi here, a roysfering, rowdy, called Jim Blander. Jim was ‘•sum” in a fit*lit, a kind of pugilistic Na poleon.— Many and bloody were the af fairs he had had in his time, and he has invariably come off first best. Jim not only considered himself invulnerable, but all the fighting characters in the sur rounding country conceded it was no use figlilin g Jim, as lie was considered to be a patent thrashing machine, that could not be impri ved on. In Jim’s neighbor hood had settled quite a number of Qua kers. From some cause or other Jim has ted the ‘shad-bellies.’ as lie called them, with bis entire heart—he often declared, that to whip one of these inoffensive peo ple would be the crowing glory of his life. For years Jim waited fur the pre text. A\ last the longing desire of Itis soul was to lie gratified. One of Jim’s chums overheard a ‘young’ Quaker speak in disparaging terms of him. The report soon came to Jimseoars not a little mag nified. Jim made desperate threats what he was going to do with Na.han, the meek follower of Penn, on sight—beside various bruises and contusions he meant to inflict on Nathan’s hotly, in his chaste language, lie meant to gouge out both his eyes and chaw off both bis ears. Nathan heard of Jim’s threats, and, very properly kept out of his way, hoping that time would modify Jim’s auger. It seems, however, this muclito-be desired result did not take place. One clay, friend Nathan was out riding, and in passing through a long lane, when about mid-way, lie espied Jim entering the oth er end. Nathan might have turned and fled, hut the flesh rebelled at this proceed ing. ‘I will pursue my wav peacahlv,’ said the Quaker, ‘and I hope the better sense of ttiis man of wrath will not perv mit him to molest me, or allow him to do violence to my person.’ Nathan’s calcu lations as to the lamb like qualities of his adversary were doomed to be disappoin ted. ‘O, ho!’ thought the bully, as he rec ognized Nathan, ‘I have hint at lost. Now i’ll make mince meat of Shad belly. / will salt him and pickle him too.’ ‘Wilt thou please dismount from thy horse,’ said Jim, seizing the bridle of Na than’s horse, tjnd mimicking his style; •my soul yeametli above all things to givt vnn the d—dest mauling tiiat ever a man received.’ ‘Friend Jan.es,’ replied Nathan, ‘thou must not molest me, but let me go my wav in peace. Thy belter judgment will i surely tell thee that thou cannot possibly be benefitied by personally injuring me.* ‘Get down a moment,’ thundered Jim; ‘get clown, you canting, lying, misc hief making, cowardly hypocrite. I’ll drag you down if you don’t dismount.’ ‘Friend James, 1 remonstrate against thy proceedings and against thy lan guage,’ replied Nathan. ‘My religion teaches me sincerity a mischief maker, nor hypocrite; I am no coward, but I am a rnan of peace, I desire to pnruse my way quietly—let me pass on.’ ‘Get down,’persisted Jim, ‘down with you, 1 want to beat some of your d—d religion out of you—l must give you n it—l of a flogging before you leave. / think, by the time l am through with you you will pass for a tolerably honest man; I will teach you, in a short and ensy les son, the importance of minding your own affairs, and (he risk you run in 6lnndeing your neighbors.’ ‘7 will not disomunt,’ said Nathan firm* ly; ‘loosen thy hold from the bridle.’ ‘You won’t, won’t you?’ said Jim, ‘then here goes,’ and he made a desperate lunge at the collar of the Quaker. Nathan was on Itis feet in an instant, on the opposite side ol the horse. The Quaker, although of much smaller pro portions than Itis prosecutor, was all sin ew, and muscle, anil his well-knit form denoted both activity and strength. His wrath was evidently enkindled. ‘Friend James,’ he implored, .‘thy per sistance in persecuting me i.t exceedingly annoying; thou must desist, or peradven inrel may o far forget myself that I may do thee some bodily harm.’ ‘By snakes!’ said Jim, c ming towards] Nathan, ‘I believe there is fight enough in ‘Broad-brim’ to make Ihe aflhir inter, esling. I wish some of the boys were i here lo see Ihe fun. ‘Now continued Jim, OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. Iriend Nathan, 7 am going to knock oil the end ol your nose—look out!’ Suiting the action to the word, Jim, after various pugilistic gyrations with his fist, mane a scientific blow at the nasal formation ol our Quaker friend, but Tom Liver could not more successfully have warded it off. Jim was evidently discon certed at the ill success of Itis first at. tempt —lie saw lie bad undertaken quite as much as be was likely to accomplish. Jim, however, straightened hint-elf out, and approached Nathan more cautiously. The contest began again. Nathan stood his gronnd firmly, and warded off tlie shower of blows skillfully which Jim aimed at him. ‘Friend James,’ said Nathan in the heat ol the com ‘St, ‘this is mere child’s play. 7t grieves me that tltou hast forced me into resistance, but I must defend my self from bodily harm. I see there is but one way of bringing this scandalous and wicked affair to a ( lose, and that is bv conquering thee; in order to do this I will inflict a heavy blow between thine eyes, which will prostrate thee.” Following out the suggestion, Nathan struck Jim a tremendous blow on his fore head, which brought him senseless to the ground. ‘Now said Nathan, 7 will teach thee a lesson, and 7 hope it will be a wholesome l“sson; too. 1 will seat myself avstaddle of thy breast—l will place my knees up on thy arms, thus, so that tltou cannot in jure me when (lion returnesl to conscious ness. 1 hope I may be the liunihle in strument of taming thy fierce warlike na ture, and making a belter and more pea cable mao of thee.’ A s the Quaker concluded, Jim began to show some returning signs of life.— The first impulse ol Jim, when he fairly saw’ his condition, was to turn Nathan off. He struggled desperately, but he was in a vice— his efforts were unavailing. ‘Friend, thou must keep still until 7 am done with thee,’ said Nathan. ‘7 believe I am the humble instrument in the hands of Providence to chastise lliee, and l trust when 7 ain done with thee, thou wilt be a changed man. Friend James does thee not repent attacking me?’ •No, by G—d I .’ said Jim, ‘let me up and I will show you.’ ‘I will not let tltee up, thou impius wretch.’ replied Nathan, ‘daresl tltou lo profane the name of thy Maker? 1 will punish thee for that—l will check thy respiration for a moment.’ ‘Nathan, as good as Itis word, c lutched Jim by tire throat. He compressed nis grip, a gurgling sound be heard; Jim’s face became destorted, a tremor ran thro’ Itis frame. He was evidently undergoing a process of strangulation. The Qua Iter relaxed his hold, but not until the choking process bad sufficiently, as be thought, tamed the perverse spirit of J im. It took snme moments (or Jim to inhale sufficient air to address the Quaker. ‘7 will knock under,’said Jim;‘enough let me up.’ •No, tltou hast not got half enough,’ replied Nathan. •Tltou art now under going a process of moral purification, and thou must be contented t > remain where tltou lyest until I am done with thee. Tlmu just profaned the name of thv Maker, friend James,’ continued Na than, ‘confess, dost tltou not repent thy wickedness?’ ‘No, d—d if I do,’ growled Jim. ‘Tltou perverse man,’ replied Nathan, in an imploring tone, ‘say dial thou repent est thy wickedness. ‘l'll be d—d if I do,’ said Jim. ‘Wilt thou not,’ replied the Quaker; ‘must I use compulsory means'” I will compress thy windpipe again unless tltou givest me an answer in the affirmative— say quick, art tltou sorry?’ ‘No, I—y-e-s,’ shrieked Jim, in a gur gling tone, as the Quaker’s grip tighten ed. ‘Yes, lam sorry.’ •7s tliv sorrow a Godly sorrow?’en quired Nathan. Jim rather demurred to give ait affirm ative answer to the question, but a gentle squeeze admonished him he had better yield. ‘Yes,’ replied Jim, ‘my sorrow is a Godly sorrow.’ ‘A Godlv sorrow lendeth lo repentance, replied Nathan; ‘we are progressing fine ly. Tltou said but just now,’ lie contin ued, ‘that I was a rattling, lying, cow ardly, mischief-making hypocrite. Tlmu wronced me in asserting these things, and slandered my persuasion. Do-'l thou recall these assertions?’ ‘Yes,’ replied Jitn, ‘I do; now let me up.’ ‘I am not done with thee yel,’ said Na than. ‘Tlmu hast been a disturber oftlie peace of this neighborhood time out of mind— thy hand has been raised against every man; thou art a brawler. Will tlmu promise me that, in future, thee will lead a more peaeable life, that ilioti wilt love thy neighbor as thyself?’ ‘Yes,’ answered Jim, hesitatingly, ‘all but tlf Quakers.’ ‘Tltou must make no exceptions, re plied Nathan; I insist on an affirmative answer.’ ‘I will be d—d,’ said Jim, ‘il I say yes to that—7 will die first.’ ‘Tltou must v ield James.’ said Nathan, I insist on it,’ and he again grasped Jim by the throat.—‘l will choke thee into sub mission; tltou must answer affirmatively —say alter me, ‘7 promise to love my neighbor as myself, including the Qua kers.’ ‘I wont promise that replied Jim, ‘7’ll be rurserl if I do.’ ‘I will check thy respiration if thee don’t,’ replied Nathan. “Wilt tltou y ield?’ ‘No, | won’t 7’ll be blasted if I do,’ answered Jim. ‘Thee bad better give in,’ replied Na than ‘I will choke tltee again il thee does not —see my grip lightens.’ And Natlmi did compress Itis grip, and ihe clinking process again went on.— Jim’s lace first became distorted, then pur ple,— Itis tongue lolled out, and Itis eyes protruded from their sockets—his body writhed like a dying man’s. Nathan per sisted in holding Itis grip until Jim be. ctinteentirely passive, lie then relaxed bis hold. Jim was slow in recovering his speech and bis senses, when lie did he begged Nathan, for mercy’s sake, lo re lease him. ‘When thee will make the promise I ex act from tltee I will release thee, but no sooner,’ replied Nathan. Jim saw lie was powerless, and lliat the Quaker was resolute. He felt it was no use to persist in his stubbornness. ‘1 will give in,’ lie replied, ‘1 will pro mise to love my neighbor as myself.’ ‘lncluding the Quakers,’ insinuated Nathan. ‘Yes, including the Quakers,’ replied Jim. ‘Tltou mayst arise then, Iriend James,’ answered Nathan ‘and 1 trust the lesson tltou bast learned ln..day will make a more peaeable citizen of tltee, and 1 hope a better man.’ Poor Jim was completely humbled; he left the field with bis spirits complely cowed. Not long after this occurrence the slory became bruited about; This was more than Jim could bear. He soon after left the scene of Itis many triumphs and his late disastrous defeat, and emi grated to ilie ‘Far West.’ The last I heard of him, he was preporing to make another move. Being pressed for his reason why he again emigrated, he said a colony of Quakers were about moving into bis neighborhood. Lie was under an obligation to love them, but be was of opinion that distance would lend strength lo his attachment. TEAZER. The Counsel of Women. In a conversation I once held with and eminent minister, of our church, he made this fine observation ; *We will say nothing of the manner in which that sex usually conduct an argument ; but • lie iuluitivejndgnients of women are of ten more to he relied upon than the eon elusions which we reach by an elaborate process of reasoning.’ No man that has an intelligent wife, or who is accustomed to the society of educated women, will dispute (his. ‘Tunes without number yon must have know n iliein deride questions on the in stant, and with unerring accuracy, w hich you had been poring over for hours perhaps with no other result than lo find yourself getting deeper and deeper into the tangled maze of doubts and difficul ties. It were hardly generous to allege that they achieve these feats le-s by rea soning than hv a sort of sagacity which approximates to the sure instinct of the anima’ races ; and there seems to he Some ground for the remark of a witty French writer, that, when a man has toil ed step by step up u flight of stairs, lie will be sore to find a woman at the lop ; but she will not be able to tell how she got there. | TERMS: $2 in Advance. How site got there, however, is of Hi de moment. If the conclusions a woman has reached are sound, that is all that ; concerns us. Ami that they are very apt to be sound on the practical matters of domestic and secular life, nothing but I the prejudice of self-conceit can prevent ns from acknowledging. The inference, ! therefore is unavoidable, that the man ! who thinks il benentli Itis dignilytto take counsel with an intelligent wife stands in j his own light, and betrays that lack of judgment wlAilte tacitly” attributes to Iter.] W Alas! it is not till time with reckless i hands has torn out half die leaves fsont j the book of human life, to light die fires of passion w ith from day to day, that | man begins to see that the leaves which remain are few in number, and to remem ber faintly at first, and tlien more clear ly, that upon the earlier pages of that i hook was w ritten a story of happy inno : retire, which In* would fain rend over a -1 gain.

Punch takes it upon himself to answer this ab struse query, by saying, ‘ it’s because the old on's use to it.’ 05” ‘ 7 cannot imagine,’ said an alder man, ‘ why my whiskers should turn gray so much sooner than the hair on my head.’ ‘ Because,’ observed a wag, ‘you have worked inttelt harder with your jaws than your brains.’ 05” Said a patient to Ins physician, a bout five years ago, after reading over the prescription of a distinguished friend of temperance, whom ill health had ob liged him to consult: ‘ Doctor, do you think that a little spirits now and then would hurt me very much ?’ ‘ Why, no, sir;’ answered the doctor, deliberately. ‘I do not think a little— now and then—would hurl you very much ; but, sir, if you don’t take any, it won’t hurt you at all.’ ‘ What is love, Clara ?’ said Bill, tire other night, as he sat by the side of his sweetheail. ‘ Love, Bill ! I hardly know what il is, but suppose it must be getting married and kissing little babies.’ Bill fainted. 05” Southey says : ‘ 7 have heard a. good story of our ftiend Charles Foxi— When his house was on fire lie founrt’all efforts lo save it useless, and beingn good draughtsman, lie went up to the next jtill to make a drawing of the fire—the best instance of philosophy I ever heard of.’ 05” The sound ofyotir hammer, says Franklin, at five in the morning, or nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer ; but if he sees you at the gaming table or hears your voice at the tavern when you should beat w ork, lie sends for his money next day. Theodore Hook once dined with Mr. Hatchet. ‘ Alt, my dear fellow,’ said his host deprecatingly, ‘ I am sorry to say yon J will not gel such dinner to-day as our I friend Tom Moore gave us.’ ‘Certainly not,’ replied Hooks, ‘ from ! a Hatchet one can expect nothing but a chop.’ 77 me to Roil Potatoes.
