Dodge made his evening calls, when in the city, and finding the old gals not to bo out sot, hinted off; nor in any wtfy gotten rid of, while he was about, took his lady-love out upon the delightful promenade of the Common and wiled away tho time so smooth and rapidly, that the witching timoof night frequently arrived before the loving twain reached tho domicil of tho young lady. For these Into walks, tho old ’uns regularly doled out a moral lecture at the next morning’s hreakfast table, and ding dunged over it ail the live long day ; so that the old catania rams becamo a brace o| decided bores, and so the weather soon proved unfavorable for prom enading, Dodge determined to get rid of the pes tiferous old maids by stratagem. Tho old ’uns were dreadfully superstitious and overstocked 1 with moral delusions, as most antiquated mai. den ladies are, so one tedious evening Dodgo asked tho old ’uns it they would like to be thrown into the mesmeric state. ‘Thrown whore!’ said both in short breath of 1 some alarm. ‘lnto the mesmeric state,’ said Dodgo. •Don t you talk about throwing us into a trother state,’ said ono of tho maidens, ‘you had ‘ better not threaten us young man, no how, or j we II call iu tho polico, so we will: yes wo will , and have you taken up !’ trt&nil mesmerism I perceive, but I’ll explain, j Mesmerism, ladies, is a scienco by which one person may throw another into a somnambulic state or torpor; the Magnetiser may have , •tomplete control of the body by tho agency of ( the sympathetic fluid, in a high rectangular state, he may slick pins, scissors or carving, knives into tho body ol tho subject, and tho sub. ject will not know it ?’ “My gracious is that true ?” said tho old Hiaids. ‘Ah yes,’ says ono of tho old ’uns, ‘I recollect Dr. Ipecac, told me how they’d found out anew way to cut people up almost, while they were asleep and tho poor creatures wouldn’t know •what ail’d ’em no more nor nothing.’ ‘"Yes, that’s it,’ says Dodge, ‘and it's a dread ful convenient thing to those that understand It; one day not long ago,’ he continued, ‘I was in the ears going down to Lowell, so I conclu ded I'd have some fun. So I seta tho fluid to work.’ “Do you understand this setting a folks asleep? eay* one of the old ’uns, with much earnest ness and concclu. •O! yes,’ says he, ‘and as I was going to tell you, I concluded'l'd set some of the passengers asleep, then stick them full of pins and wake them up, and let them sec what a fix thoy were ‘Well, did you'?’ says the old ’tins. ,Didn’t 1 7 Weil you’d thought so, if you had ilar tissue tti'Hpp ’ secundum i any time, pul the fttiTid vicefe. into their^svstem through Wn..~\ S* \us el their dipthong and tilth con- Bquencc’'.. <mld be—’ mVAd what, 0 10! gracious, what would -if’ ?’ said one. -s their pendulums into a action slopo, ma’ml’ said Dodge. ‘andjiTsomc cases, I have, foi; my own tunusement, while seated in my chair at a passed my hand so —’ ‘Don’t, don’t pass ft over us if you please, no don’t sir!’ said the old ‘uns. ‘At tjiefrimn or woman on the opposite side of the way. man’—continued Dodge—‘and para lyzed thejr fambvgvziptionary muscles of the leg, or arm, and they would limp or let their arm fall instantly l’ ‘Becky get the lamp, let us go to bed it’s get. ting late !’ said one of the old maidens whose nerves began to shiver under the learned lin guae, of the great mngnetiselr! •Quite early yet, ladies, keep your seats, and I’ll give yon the entire analysis of this system, by which I can by my strong mcjJf./ acular power, at any moment, bring tlupf yt rectangular horizontal person down and quietude of a sleeping infant ‘Becky, l/ccky, do get the —come let us go!’ said one of the most maidens. But Dodgo went on : •I have taken women a kneedicu lar position, facing me in colap sum manner, and the doojum portion of their it has pro proved impossible for a thorough bred physician to conijmpe on tho ossiofalligas ca iculi of their offldWitntions, fora week after sue], a prostration of their secular systems-! J-Xct!’ U’ho last brick took full effect, ‘Bectu^jjj accelerated on tho scratch gravel principle, was .highly interesting and useful to the joker and his lady love. The moral of this operation was, Dodgo was pfoeious seldom afterwards bored by the pres, once of his annovyrs. and fearing tho ill will of the great mesmeric performer, the old maids were always afterwards as good as pie to Dodgo’s Pysche ! A young lady, (?) ono of those affected Mis ses who belong to tho ‘upper ten,’ recently en tered tho store of a fashionable milliner, with whom her family was acquainted, for the pur. pose of making some hiding purchase. ‘How is your mother, Miss?’ politely enquired tho lady of the store. ‘She is not very well, madam,’ replied Affec tation. ‘Ah I what is tho matter with her ?’ ‘Sho fell down stairs and hurt her curtesy bender, ‘Hurt what V ‘Her curtesy bender.’ ‘Curtesy bender I What is that V enquired tho puzzled milliner. ‘Why her knee !’ It caused the good lady a very painful effort to prevent her committing a downright act of rudeness. She succeeded however ; but sever al young ladies present were forced to make a precipitate retreat, to give full vent to their ris ibilities, which tho ludicrousness of the remark could not fail to produce. ‘Give me your Baby I’ —We saw a poor woman sitting on the steps in front of a hotel, on Fifth-street, tho other morning holding a pale yet beautiful infant in her arms; in one hand she had a saucer containing a few pennies. She was apparently about thirty, and neatly clad, although the dress was of the cheapest ma- SCO 111 1 r'osm“ 111 had been belter, and perhaps a happy one tor Our attention was arrested by a crowd of well dressed ladies, who were standing around and endeavoring to beg the baby, ‘What a sweet child !’ said one. •Poor little dear!’ said another, ‘how I should love it if it was my own !’ The mother drew the child closer to her bo. 6om. but said not a word. Another lady, in whose face one could see at a glance, a fountain of charity and love, seemed more intent in the child than any other, j *Give me your baby,’ said she, *and I will take good care ofit.’ The poor woman looked up for the first time v>ilh r.'tifc so melancholy, and the tears trem bled in hrr eyes. ‘No. madam, I thank you for vour kind feelings, but I cannot part with the only thing I have left to love on earth ! This was enough. The lady droped a half eagle upon tho saucer and turned away in tears. The others opened their purses, and placed their ofteiings in charitable sociability with the gold piece. We added our mite, and walked a -1 way a happier and better man.——[Ctrl. Com. Wear asd Tear—Life is shortened by in i dulgencc in anger, ill-will, anxiety, envy, grief, sorrow and excessive care.

The first thing to he done is to restore the corn-laws. I iid Duke—Free trade is ruining the country, Wo have hud a revolution in every country in Europe since tho corn.laws were repealed. Wo have had the potato rot and Irish famine, since the corn-laws were repealed. We have had ‘hurt cotton crops since the corn.laws were repealed. We have had the railway mania and the panic since the corn-laws were repealed. Therefore it is clear that free trade is ruining the country. 3.1 Duke—Mr noblo friend has prored that free trade is ruining the country, I call upon you gentlemen, to form a league for protecting ev. cry body and every thing against every l<x!y and every thing. First, you must restore the corn-laws, to protect the ; a-hetni tenant. 1-t Tenant Fanner—Huzza ! I’ll thank you to protect me agiiust John Stocks in next par. ish.

Ist Doubtful—Please, my lord duke, what is equal protection ? 2d Duke— Equal protection, my excellent friend, is this ; I givo Peter a shilling protec tion against Paul, and Paul a shilling protec tion against Peter. Thus I benefit both Peter and Paul to the extent of a shilling. 2d Doubtful—Stop, l don’t see that. 3d Duke— How, my intelligent friend?

The old maids, 1 reckon, grid that. Now i think it’s fully- as unfair to ax a fi her weight, as it is to ax her her age, ’case it’ a tuff question, it is, and when you hears alfmt weighin’ Sally Greeny, you will say so top. You know cusen Jeff; lie's a rale staver ’ihongst the gals, he is, and he don’t kftre a straw what he sez to any on ’em, he don’t. Cusen Jeff, he cum over to our house one Sunday, and he sez to me, ‘Pete, les go to see ’Squire Greeny’s gals.’ ‘Agreed’ sed I. And so out we struck. I felt orful bold when we first started, but sum how the nearer we got to ’Squire Greeny’s the worse sheared I was. And I wished we had never started ; but it was too late now, so in wo went. ’Squire Greeny’s got two gals, Sally and Betsy, as nice gals as you ever seed, they is. They all seem'd migh ty perliter, and me and cusen Jeff thought we i gettin’ on fust rate, we did. Sally look’d dreadful nice, 1 tell you.

After a while Sally she pro posed we should all go and weigh. So out we ail went, ’Squire Greeny goin’ along to weigh us. When Sally’s turn cum, ‘Squire Greeny, he look’d sorter ’stonish’d. ‘Why Sally,’ gays he, ‘you Weigh and fifty.’ ‘Law ! Par,’ sed Sally, it Jeff?’ sed the ’squire. •Yes sir.ee,’ sed Jeff. And sure enuff Sally weighed a hundred and fifty ; the hevyest crit ter in the whole gang on us.

So Sally was strung up ag’in, and the ’Squire he balanc’d the stil yards to the last kickup place; and then he commenced lookin’ over his specks and countin’ his fingers. ‘Jeff.’ sez he, ‘how much is that ?’ Jefi’, he looked over the ’Squire’s shoulder. ‘One hundred and thirtv-seven’ ses Jeff. ‘Yes,’ sez the ’Squire, *a hundred and thirty seven.’ •Thar now,’ sez the old lady, ‘1 told you Sal ly didn't weigh a hundred and fifty. ‘Well how on yeth did we make such a mis take ?’ sed the ’Squire. •I know,’ sez Kate, Sally’s little sister. ‘Hush ! sed Sally, sliakin’ her fist at Kate, and turnin’ as red as a beet, in the face. ‘How ?’ ged the ’Squire. ‘Ef you do,’ sed Sally, stampin’ her foot. ‘Rut l will though,’ sed Kate. •Yes, tell,’ sed the ’Squire. •Sally has took her Bustle off!” Bring the camp tire here, quick 1 Pantomimic Preaching. —Tho idea of a Deaf Mute Preachei is rather a unique one ; j but strange as it may sound, it is nevertheless ts iKt, that we were one of an assembly who ■ rn4 in the Baptist Church in the city to sec (net to hear) a Deaf Mute Preacher, on Wednesday evening last. Tho Pastor. Elder Sears, opened the oxer- i ciscg by singing and prayer ; the preacher then ! jjose and taking the niaou'cript synopsis of bis sertnon front his pocket, laid it on the table, and requested Elder Sears to read, audibly, the Text, and then tho first topic for discussion, and then the preacher con)tnenceAin a most solemn man ner, to illueidatc his subject, in the use of those natural signs, peculiar to the Deaf and Dumb, and which, remarkable to think of, is perfectly understood by all Deaf Mutes from all climes. His sermon was divided into eight heads or topics, each of which was read by the Pastor, at his request, in regular order and expatiated upon bv tho preacher in his peculiar language; and certainly tho audience was deeply inter, ested. It is remarkable with what force and clear ness his thought and feelings were in many in ! stances expressed; even to those who had nov. i er studied the natural languugo of the Deat and ! Dumb. We were really in erested in the ex i hibition, and felt quite convinced that the preach j er understood and felt deeply the power of the , great truth he was expatiating upon. After the services were over, a gentleman came leading up to the pulpit his lady, who is a Deaf Mute, but a vety polished and intelligent looking lady, who engaged with the preacher in a lively and, to them, most gratifying convcrsa. tion. Sbo gave him to understand that she un derstood and was interested in what he had been discussing about, and scenied greatly de. lighted. We understood that the lady and- her husband are Episcopalians; they were ho-ev. •Do you believe in God, ‘What have you to do, .tir, with what I be lieve ?’ replied the person accosted, with a look of astonishment. % ‘You are in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity,’ cried the offended preacher —-Look at that poor lad, whistling along the road, and driving his cart before him--he is on the straight road to heaven.’ •It may bo so sir.’ said the person interroga. ted, ‘but to my certain know ledge, if lie’s going there, he’s going with a cart load of stolen corn.’ Every student who would enter Oxford Uni versity, must acknowledge his belief in the ‘Thirty-nine Articles.’ A good joke is told of a youth, who, being told at his matriculation that he must subscribe to the Articles, very in nocently pulled out his purse, and asked, ‘How much ?’ ‘The tree is known by its fruit.’ The only exception to this is the dogwood, which is known by its bark. A fop is like a cinnamon tree —the bark is worth more than the body.

Mr. D- is quite eloquent on the subject of the bright kics and balmy atmosphere of the Florida Keys. The climate of the most salu. brious portion of cuba does not surpass them ; and the time will come, we doubt not, when in. valids will seek the softned temperature of the everglades, keys and islets of that region, in stead of the more expensive trip to Havana)] and other parts of Cuba. Mr. Dennis brought with him quite a collec. ! tion of Florida products ; among them growing ! specimens of the Agave Americana and Maguey j —both indigenous to Mexico, the latter flourish- | ing on the elevated pl*"= I which is produced the famous beverage called j pulque, and the so mer growing spontaneously over a large portion ot Yucatan, yielding their : staple Hencguin or Sisal hemp. Dr. Pen ine. j who, it will be remembered, was for sometime , Consul at Campeche, formed under the patron- . age of our government a plantation of the Agave j on Indian river. Unfoi Innately, soon after the j plants were set, and before much progress was j made in the enterprise, he was killed by the Indians. The grant, however, was subsequent confirmed to his heirs, and the probability is I that the object of government to introduce, into j Southern Florida tropical frnits, plants and shrubs, will yet be accomplished. Wc learn frem Mr. Dennis that the plants put out by the Doctor are doing well, and that the soil and climate of that region aro admirably suited to that as well as all other tropica! plants. [Mobile Tribune. Double-headed Firkins.— Happening in at the cooper establishment ol Mr. A. D. But ton. in this village, a day or two since, we no ticed anew kind of butter firkins which we think is a great improvement on those in gen eral use. It is double hoaded, that is, at the upper, or over end, is an extra, closely fitted head, to be put in when tho tub is filled with butter. Tho space between this head and tho cover is to be filled with brine so as to efiectu* lit'.:- of each at a hard when all the mixture diately into a rather brisk oven ; and bake it well for three or four hours or more, in propor tion to its thickness. This is n very nice cake. It shoula be eat en the same day that ,'t is baked ; as when stale (even one day old.) all ludian cake becomo dry hard, and rough. It will bo improved by the addition of a pound of raisins, stoned, cut in half, and well dredged with wheat flour to prevent their sinking to the bottom. Sultana or seedless raisins are best for all sorts of cukes and puddings. From Miss Leslie's ‘lndian Meal Book.’ Kantucket Pudding. Six large ears of iudian corn ; full grown, but young and soft, A pint of milk. A quarter of a pound of fresh butter. A quarter of a pound of sugar. Four eggs. Half a nutmeg grated, and five or six blades of mace powdered. Having first boiled the corn for a quarter of an hour, grate the grains off the cob with a coarse grater. Then add the butter (cut into little biis) and the sugar. Having stirred them well into the corn, thin it with the milk.—• Beat the eggs very light, and then add them to the mixture, a little at a time, and finish with the sp’ce. Stir the whole very hard. Butter a deep white dish, put in the pudding, set it direct ly into the oven, and bake it two hours. Send it to table warm, and eat it with butter and sugar, or molasses. It is not good cold. What is left may be put into a small dish, and baked over the next day, for half an hour; or tied in a cloth and boiled awhile. From Miss Leslie’s ‘House Book.’ Donrstie Dyes. Green. —Make first a meric, tied up in thin n.Wffi, ln d boiled in soft water, with Muae.nvcos of alum, flavin-r ;hor the tj ye, rukewfirfn,) and stir it about till it has taken. Then open it out and dry it. Afterwards stir into the yellow dye a sufficient quantity of the druggist’s blue in digo.composition, (a little at a time,) to make it the tint of green you require. Then put into water the article that is already dyed yellow; and when well soaked, squeeze it out, and pot it wet into the green dye. When it has taken the green thoroughly, (perhaps in fifteen minutes,) dry it, and smooth with a stone. A warm iron will injure the colour. This dye must not be used for cotton. A good proportion of the ingredients for a bright green dye, is two ounces of pulverized al um ; and for the blueing, half a table-spoonful of the indigo compound. For more yellowish green, use more tumeric ; for a more bluish, a larger proportion of the indigo mixture. For a dark or bottle greeu, take ‘twelve oun ces of fustic, and three ounces of bruised alum, and boil them in three gallons of water. Then stir in (by degrees) the indigo composition, till you get the colour as dark as you wish. An excellent Buff Dye. —For about twelve yards of white cotton or thick muslin, prepare in a brass kettle two gallons of soft water, into which put a large tea-cupful ofpot-ash sewed up in a flannel bag. After the potash has entirely dissolved in t'he water, hang the kettle over the fire, and let it become scalding hot; but do not allow it to boil. When almost at the boiling poißt, take out the potash hag, and put in an ounce ofannatlo or aronetta powder, sewed up in a linen bag. Let the annatto bag simmer in the water about half an hour, fill the kettle is almost at a boil. Then have ready the article, which must be previously washed in a strong warm potash water. Remove the kettle from the fire put into it the wet muslin that has been washed in the potash water, and work it about in th* dye ; rinsing it up and down, till the-whole of it has taken the color thoroughly and evenly. Do not lot it Ijflij. as that may injure the tint. Then has entirely dried,.* i—w— e> it out again and iron it while damp. This will be found a very handsome colour for linings, bed-spreads, ballanccs, and common curtains. For the lattor purpose, it should have fringe or a finding of black, dark-green, brown, purple, or crimson. Aronetta alone, makes a well known salmon colour ; but this addition ol of potash gives it a beautiful bright butt tint, such as is generally called bird of our. It will bear repeated ding* , For more yellowish tinge, use a portion of potash ; for a more reddish, the quan : tity of aronetta. This dye may be made of a deep nankeen i colour, if desired.
