Utility and Sagacity of Siberian ; Dogs.—Ul‘ all the animals that live in the high north latitude, none are so | tieserving of being noticed as the dog. The companion ot man, in all climates, j Irom the islands of the South Sea, where he feeds on bananas to the Po lar Seas, where his food is lish, he here plays a part to which he is unaccustom ed in more favored regions. Nobesi ty has taught the inhabitants of the northern countries to employ these com paratively weak animals in draught. On all the coasts of the Polar Sea from the Obi to Behring's Straits, in Green- j land, Kanischatka, and in the Kurile i islands, the dogs are made to draw | sledges loaded with persons and with I goods, and for considerable journeys. ; The dops have much resemblance to j the wolf. They have long, pointed noses, sharp and upright ears, and a long busliy tail : some have smooth IL and some have curly hair ; their color is various—black, brown, reddish brown, white and spotted. They vary also in size ; but it is considered that a good Sledge-dog should not be less than two feet seven’snd a-half inches in height, and three feet three quarters of an inch in length (English measure.) Their barking is like the howling of a wolf. They pass their whole life in the open air ; in summer they dig holes in the ground for coolness, or lie in the water to avoid the mosquitoes ; in win ter they protect themselves by burrow ing in the snow, and lie curled up with their noses covered up by their bushy tails. The female puppies are drown ed, except enough to preserve the breed, the males alone being used in draught. Those born in winter enter on their trainings the following autumn, but arc not used in long journeys until the third year. The feeding and train ing is a particular art, ar.d much skill is required in driving them. The best trained dogs are used as leaders ; and as the quick and steady going of the team, usually twelve (dogs, and the safety of the dri'.er, depend on the sa gacity and docility of the leader, no pains arc spared in their education, so that they may always obey their mas ter’s voice and not be tempted from their course when they come on scent of game. This last is a point, of great difficulty; .sometimes a whole team, in such casesif will start off, and no en deavors on the part of the driver, can stop them. On such occasions we have sometimes had to admire the ; cleverness with which the w. 11 trained leader endeavors to tarn the other from their pursuit ; if other devi ces fail, he will suddenly wheel round, and by barking as if he had come on a new scent try to induce the other dogs to follow him. If travelling across the wild tunda.’in dark nights, or when the vast plain & veiled in impenatrablc mist, or iiSstorms or snow tempests, when the tSifVeiler is in danger of miss ing the sheTtea ing dowaima, and of per ishing in the snow, he will frequently owe his satety i&a good leader ; if the animal has ever bleu in this plain; and has stripped, with, his master at the dowarna, he will be sure to bring the sh’dge to the jdapß where the hut lies deeply buried in -|he snow ; when ar rived at it, he stop, and indicate signilkantjv, the -pot where his master invistdig| | --J'f>n 11 ranch's )*<ftar Sea#.

(young farmer had occasion to call on the 'minister, who had just removed in from Massachu setts, and was shown in to the “ best room.” When the minister eathe down to seS him, he found him sitting in a chair on the door-sill, with legs outside in the entry. The astonished clergyman asked him why lie did not go into the parlor. “ Oh,” said he, “ I was ai’eard of spilin’ your blanket \ by treading on it.” English and American hotels. — jWe could hardly picture to ourselves a greater contrast than that between I an old country and an American hotel. The two things ai& not in the least ’alike. Arriving at an inn in England, you are treated with immense defer i et.ee, allowed the seclusion of a pri i vate apartment, charged exorbitant jly for everything, and, at departure, I courtesied and bowed out at the door. ; as if a prodigious favor had been con torted on the establishment. In the ) United States things are managed dif ferently. The Americans, with some faults of character, possess the singu lar merit of not being exclusive, extor- tionate, or subservient. But where all travel, hotel-keepers'can afford to act magnanimously. Instead of looking to livelihood from a few customers, scheming petty gains by running up a bill for the use of candles, firing, and other conveniences, and smoothing- ev erything over by a mercenary bow, the proprietor of an American hotel is a capitalist at the head of a great con cern, and would despise doing any thing shabby: hundreds pour into and out of his house daily ; he notices neith er your coming nor going. W ithout cer emony you arc free of the establish ment ; and when you pay and de part, there are no bows, no thanks, but you are fleeced; and that, is always felt to be a comfort.—[ William Chambers. It's What You spend. —“ It's what thce'U spend, my son,” said a sage old Quaker, “ not what thee’ll make, which will decide whether thec’s to be rich or no.' - The advice was rigl.it, for it was but Franklin’s in another shape. Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of them selves.' But it cannot be too often re peated. Men are continually indulg ing in small expenses, saying to them selves that it is only a trifle, yet forget ting that in the aggregate it is serious, that even the sea-shore is made of pet ty grains of sand. Ten cents a day is even thirty-six dollars and a half a year, and that is the interest of a capi tal of six hundred dollars. The man that saves ten cents a day only, is so much richer than lie who does not, as if he owned a life estate in a house worth six hundred dollars. Even in sixteen years ten cents a day becomes six hundred dollars : and if invested quarterly it does not take half that time. But ten cents a day is a child’s play, some one will exclaim. AVell, then, John Jacob Astor used to , say that when a man who wishes to be rich has saved ten thousand dollars, he has won half the battle. The advice here giv en should be cherished by every lit tle boy and girl in the land. Much good will result therefrom. Ax Error.— We notice that most of our exchanges are attributing the letter on the Slave Trade, lately published in Mitehel’s Citizen, to Ex- Governor Cobb. T’iiis is an error.— The writer is llowell Cobb of Houston county, editor of “Cobb’s Analysis and Forms,” and a lawyer of reputation, hut in no way rclatedto the Ex-Governor. We had marked the letter for in sertion in this week’s paper, but it is crowded out. It is written in an swer to an enquiry of the .V. V. H'raw/elist, as to what tin'.

Impure LangUAGEA-There arc some habits which wc. can never entirely annihilate, after we have once formed them. Tim use of impure language is one of these habits. It may he subdued and slumber for years, till its existence is almost forgotten ; and, then in the delirium of fever, it may suddenly burst forth, to the astonish ment of all who listen. Many a devo ted Christian in the delirium of a sick bed, has shocked his friends by the use of profane "and obscene language, which could be explained only ,by .the fact that he had been familiar, with such language, in early life. 1 n read ing the memoir ot Hr. Grant, the mis sionary to the Nestorians, 1 was struck with a fact relating to his last illness. For seventeen days previous to his death, lie was in n dtliriith; ImUsays his biographer, “though speaking al most constantly on many topics, in three different Languages —jjjjhat s,is, English, Turkish and did not use 'a single word lie would have been ashamed of afterwards.

Follies of Fashion.’- I—ln 1 — In no in stances have the folly and childish ness of a large portion of mankind been more .strikingly displayed than in those various and occasionally very op posite modes they have de parted from the st andard ot nature, and sought distinction even in deformity. Thus, while one race of people crushes the feet of its children, another Hattons their heads between two boards ; and while we in Europe admire the naked whiteness of the teeth, the Malays tile off the enamel, and die them black, Tor the all-sufiieient reason that clogs teeth are white ! A New Zealand chief has his distinctive coat of arms emblazoned on the skin 61 his face, as well as on bis limb; and an Esqui maux is nothing il lie have not bits ol stones stuffed through a hole in each cheek. Quite as absurd, and still more mischievous, is the i’atuation which, anion a sonic Europeans, attaches beau ty to that modification of the human figure which resembles the wasp, and compresses the waist until the v ei y ribs have been distorted, and the func tions of the. vital organs irreparably disordered. —77 ie Ch(/ >ese.

As to his remote ancestry there is some doubt, but it is now pretty well set tled that he is the sou of a tailor’s goose. Ife becomes ecstatic at the smell of new cloth, lie is somewhat nervous, and to dream of tailor’s bills gives him the nightmare. By his hair one would think he had been dipped like Achilles, but it is evident that the o’oddess must have held him by the head instead of the heels. Neverthe less, such men arc useful.

Music and Politics. —The tele graph informs us of the important tact that William Bigler, Governor of Penn sylvania, lias been serenaded by the ‘‘young democracy ol Washington. Bigler has just been beaten in the race for another term by forty thou sand majority, and it seems proper that music should be called in to soothe his outraged feelings, lie has the mu sic, and Pollock gets the spoils. All right. A fair division of every thing is the true platform. The New York politicians need not fear. Their time is coming, but if all the defeated candi dates in this State are to be serenaded there will not be bands enough for the music that will be required on the night of the seventh of November. — Look out for a ‘‘grand crash” in some of the orchestras! —.V. ) r .

Whether actua ted by the prober motives or not. it is not our pur pose now particularly to enquire. Some of us go for one thing, (ind sonic for another. Some go to show their line clothes : some to look at the girls: some to see whether their neighbors are dressed fashionably or in costly attire : a few. a very few, go to worship Clod in spirit and in truth. But nev er mind : People go to Church, and, in going, they should know bow to behave themselves, and know ing, they should act accordingly. Let us begin at the smallest class—those who enter the house of God for the purpose of worship. To be sure they ought to know how to behayO themselves: but they''don’t always do it even if they know how. Perhaps we can better tell what they should not do, than what they should. They ought not to gaze all over the house during divine ser vice, as if they were at an animal show; and es pecially during prayer, they should not raise them selves up. if kneeling, and look all around them with malice prepense to indulge in bitter feeling against those who are not coining up to their stan dard. Christians should be very tender in their feelings to those who, they think, err : "Be to their faults a little blind, And to their virtues very kind For if they do not. how can they expect their Heavenly Father to boa “little blind” to their sin committed in the act of watching with unchristian spirit those who are not acting according- to their views of propriety ? "Except ye forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Heavenly Father for give you your trespasses.” Therefore if you see somebody doing wrong during prayer, don’t let your heart be led off into sinful thoughts of hatred or revenge against your erring fellow mortal; but pray on : You can do him more good by humbly praying for him than by looking sour at him. We say by humbly praying, beeauso we have known men to put up angry prayers, just as we have known negroes to shout when they become angry. Wc have heard sinners prayed for when they have been doing wrong in Church, or at eanip-meeting, when the tones of the prayer indicated anger, rath er than humility. It does no good. Then the Christian at Church should keep his mind in a wor shipful, and not a sinful mood. Don't let it either, strav off upon some note you expect to shave at 25 per cent,, or to your plantation, ledger, doctor’s shop, or lawyer's office. So much lor Christians, and now tor sinners: When you go to church, you arc just as much bound to behave yourselves with propriety as your Christian brethren are. True, you are not bound to take an active part in the public services—to sing and to pray, and to participate iii tho ordi nances. But you are bound to preserve a decent exterior, to lie orderly in your conduct, and not to whisper, or laugh. It is positively ill-mannered and rude to do so. We are putting your cases now upon the basis of your duties to your fellow man. Wo intend to try you by the rules of strict gentility, and ol good breeding. \ou don t ac knowledge your obligations to your Maker, and hence we will not test your conduct by the duties you owe to God : (If any man has the right to do this, it is the preacher, and we don't belive that he Inis—for little as people think of it, a preacher is but a man:) Ilcnco we will square your conduct by obligations which you do acknowledge, leaving your account betwcenyourself and your God t.o bo settled by a higher tribunal than auy before which yo.u have to appear on earth. Now to the test : Would you. claiming to boa gentleman as you do, go into the parlor of a friend, where there was company assembled, and engaged in any particular occupation, or amusement, what ever it might be, and seating yourself off in a corner with one or two others, commence to criticise the assembled company, and laugh, and titter, and dis turb them ? You answer, no. Then you have no right to do so in church, either. And the day ought to come when such conduct would meet with as sudden pedal application, as though it wero in dulged in, in tho parlor. Not that, wo would re commend any of our Christian brethren to kick a misbehaving man out of church, but there might bo some clover sinner appointed to do it. For even sinners can Sometimes bo put t> a very good use, and may, hence, bo useful articles. Now our gentleman may bo disposed to answer “ Tho sermon is so dull and uninteresting, or they squall and hallo so much, I can’t Stand it, and can t treat them with respect." Well, if you can t, you should leave the house —you liavb no business there. Our constitutions guarantee to a man tho right to worship God as ho pleases, and it you don’t like his manner of worship it is a free conn, try, and you have a right to retire. But tho coun try Ls not free enough for vou to have tho right to stay and disturb your neighbor. Then, 'children should not be allowed to go to church and disturb tho worship by laughing and talking. A great many ill-mannered brats do tins tiling, aud it is for want ,of a proper traiuing. IHo good book says “Train tip a child in tho way ho should go." How many Christian parents do it ? j Is it an uncommoii thing in those days of Young America to see the children of Christians disturb | ing publiu vmMliqi?

Arriving at the words, ‘The Lord bless thee,’ the silly man, in Ids habitual subserviency, thought he must read, ‘The Lord bless your Majesty on which the king at once cut him short, ‘You rascal, read it as it is in the book; before God Al mighty I am but a rascal, like yourself.’ The servants were never safe in his presence. He had two pistols, loaded with salt, lying hy Lis sulry which if they blundered, he would fire at them. In this manner one bail his feet dread fully injured, and another lost an eye, notwithstanding all which, he was quite offended that he should generally be considered a tyrant. Terror might be said to go before him. A function ary who was once unexpectedly sum moned to his presence, fell down dead from fright. His cane he applied so unreservedly to every body, that one day he maltreated with it a major, in front of his regiment, on which the officer at once drew his pistols, tired one before the feet of the king’s horse, and with the other shot himself through the head.

Then fol lowed the usual question, ‘Who am von?’ Those fared worst who tried to fly from him.

But if a more intimate ac* j quaintancc shows that it is not associa i ted with goodness and truth, with j good sense and a good heart, admira- I tion is turned into disgust, and the sen j sible admirer retires with as much ■ haste as the tourist from the sublime ! city of tin 1 Sultan. — Home : Gazette. — i Habit.—“ I trust everything, un der God,” says Lord Brougham, “to habit, upon which, in all ages, the law giver.as well as the school-master has mainly placed his reliance; hab’.i, which makes everything easy and easts all difficulties upon the deviation from, the wonted course.
