One little act of politeness will some times pnvejffie wav to fortune and pre ferment, The following sketch illus trates tbe fact^: A sailor, roughly garbed, was saunter ing the streets ol N p w’ Orleans, then in a rather damp condition from recent rain and the rise of the. title. Turning the corner ol a much frequented nnd narrow alley, he observed a young lady standing in perplexity, apparently measuring the | depth of tbe muddy water j between her and ti e opposite sidewalk, irnli no very satisfied countenance. The patts- etl, for lie was a great admirer of beauty, and certainly tbe face that peeped out from under tbe little rhijijiut, and the au burn curls hanging glossy and uncoufin ed over her muslin dress, might tempt a j cmjous or an admiring glance. Perplex ed, the lady put forth one little foot, w hen tbe gallant sailor, with character is tic im pulsiveness, exclaimed. ‘That little fool, lady, should not be soiled by the Tilth of I this Jane. Wait fora moment and I will [ make you a path.* So springing past her into a carpenter’s shop opposite, he bar gamed for a plank that stood in the door way and coming back to the smiling girl who was just coq lettisii enough to accept and rougkh smile malting her eyes as dazzlin'’ as they could be, Alas! our young sailor was perfectly charmed. Whitt else could make him catch op and shoulder the plunk, and fol low die little witch toiler home, she twice performing the ceremony of ,4 w nlking tbe plank,” and each time thnnkiug him w ith one of her eloquent smiles. Pies. I ently, our hero saw the young Indy trip op the nimble steps ol a palace of a house and disappeared within its rosewood eti terunce; for full a minute lie stood look inu at the door, and then, w ith a wonder ltd big sigh, turned away, disposed of bis draw.bridge, and wended his way back to the ship. Tlie next day be was astonished with an order of promotion from tlie captain. Poor Jack was speechless with amaze ment. He foul not|dreatned of being ex alted to the dignity of a second mate’s ; office on board of one of the most splen - did vessels that sailed out of the port of OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. New Orleans. He knew lie was compev tent, for instead of spending bis money in visiting theatres and bowling saloons, be bad purchased books and bad become quite a student, but be expected years to intervene before bis ambitious hopes could be realized. His superior officers seemed to look up on him with consicerable leniency, ami gave him many a fair opportunity to gath er maritime knowledge; autl in a year the handsome, gentlemanly young mate ac quired unusual favor in the eyes of the portly commander, Captain Hume, who had first taken the smart little black eyed fellow with Ids tarpaulin and tidy bundle, as his cabin boy. One night the young man, with all tbe other officers, were invited to an enter tainment ut tbe Captain’s house. He went, and, to his astonishment, mounted the identical steps that two years before the brightest vision lie bad ever seen pass, etl; a vision lie bad never forgotten.— Thump, thump, went bis brave heart, as he was ushered into the parlor, and like a sledge hammer it beat again, witeu Capt. Hume brought forward his blue eyed daughter, and with a pleasant smile said; ‘ Tit* young lady once indebted to your politeness for a safe and dry walk home It was only a year from that time that the second mate trod the quarter deck part owner, with the Captain, nut only ut bis vessel, but in the affections of his daughter, gentle Grace liunie, who had cherished respect, to say nothing of love, lor the brighlveyed young sailor. The old man has retired from business. Henry Wells is now Capt, Wells, and Grace Hume is, according to polite par lance, ‘Mrs. Captain Wells.’’ In fact, our honest sailor is one of the richest men in ihe cresent City, aud he owes pet Imps the greater part of Ins prosperity to his tact and politeness in crossing the street. Characteristics of Great Men, Tasso’s conversation was neither gay uor brilliant. Dame was either taciturn or satiri- i cal. Butler was silent or biting. Gray seldom talked or smiled. Morgartb aud Swill were very absent minded in company. Milton was unsociable, and even yri, table when pres.-ed in conversation., Kirwaii, though copious and efottunei in public addtes.-es, was meagre and dull in colloquial discource. Virgil was heavy in conversation. La Eon bun appeared heavy, coarse, and stupid j be could not speak and tie- J scribe w lint he hail just seen, but then lie w a< the model of poetry — Chaucer’s silence was more agreeable than his coitveisaiion. Dry lien’s conveisutiun was slow and dull; his humor sanlorine aud reserved. Descrales was silent in mixed com pany. Corneille in conversation*was so insip id that lie never failed in wearying. He ditl not even speak correctly that lan guage of w hich he was such a master. Ben Johnson used to-sit silent in com pany aud suck his wims aud their Ini. mors. Southey was stiff sedate, and wraped up in asceticism ; Addison was good company with his intimate friends but in mixed company lie preserved his dignity by u snff aud reerved silence. Fox in a conversation never and igged ; bis animation and variety were inex haustible. Dr. Bendy was loquacious. Groiius whs talkative. Goldsmith wrote like an angel, and talked like pour Poll. Burke was eminently entertaining en thusiastic, and interesting, in conversa tion. Curran was a convivial deity; be soared into every region and was ut home in till. , Dr. Birch dreHdcd a pen as lie did a torpedo but he could talk like running water. Dr. Johnson wrote monotonously, hot! in conversation his words were close n<l , siliewy ; and if Ids pistol missed fire, lie knocked down his antagonist with j the butt of it. Coleridge, in conversation, was full of acuteness mid originality. • j Leigh Hum has been well termed the philosopher of Hope, and likened to a pleasant stream in conversation. Carlyle doubts and constantly de murs. Fisher Wittes was a powerful nnd ts fective orator and no less distinguished in the social circle. He posse, ed a flu ent language, a vival fancy, and a well stored memory. * Hillo ! little boy, w liere am If said a superauuated gent, who was smutting at llie juncture of three post roads in die Country, 4 Why, yer on yer feet, ain’t yer T 4 Pshaw !

Tw wars, how ever, were over; and lie had aothing in the world to do but to lounge about, m best he cquld, on half-pay. line day he was ‘taking his case in his inn,* when lie observed a stranger, who was evidently a fureiglner, gazing intently at him. The lieiiteimut appeared not to uotice him, hut shilled his position. After a short time live stranger sifted his position also, and still stared with tiobleiukked, unaba ted gaze. This was 100 much for Montgomery, fie rose, autl approached hi. scrutinizing intruder, said; •Do you know me, sir ?’ *1 think I do,’ answered the foreigner. (He was a Frenchman.) •H ive we ever met before ?’ continued Montgomery. */ will not swear for it; but if we have —and I am almost suie we have,’ said the stranger, ‘you have a sabre-cut, a deep one, on your w right wrist. ‘I have,’ said Montgomery, turning hack his sleeve, aud displaying a very broad mid ugly scat. ‘/didn’t get this lor nothing, for tbe brave fellow who made me a present of it J repaid with a gash across the skull/’ The Frenchman-bent down Ins head, parted his I fair with Ids hands, and said.* ‘Youdid; you may look at the re ceipt.

Tlie vainest being, the roost conceited, or the most perfect, suffers alike under that emancipation from the government of true politeness. We may imagine ourselvs, to consider our humble sell the theme of n merry whisper, and die pain tvi kling in our wounded self love leave* a thorn which sooner or later will sting the aggressors, and proven thorn to them. Whispering in the pres# ence of strangers, without some cogent apology, is then entiiely out ol place and ought to be avoided, cost whal it may. A palpable Hit .
