Keep Troubles to Yourself. Speak not troubles ovsr loud, Lest the world fbould bear ; Baw rut your hoad b-firc thc crowd, In public shed no tear. Strangers form a heartless sect, Too apt to worship pelf; Sc, if you wish to gain respect, Keep troubles to yourself. The wi;e will never own defeat, Though hope be almost dead ; But, smiling, all disa.-ters meet, With proud defiant kcad ; Even wiib a ready je<t, In darkest time of woe, Striving, struggling for the best, Midst tours that none shall know. Th? fool who tells of his distress, . Hurries on disaster, And tempts thc sordid one to press Uis owing claims tho faster ;> . Till down beneath he slowly goes, Meaning still the sadder, Beet by coward, heartless blows, To fell him from the ladder. Be ever cheerful ti tho crowd, , And bide no croakers near you; Be courteous, yet cold and proud, And fools will learn to fear you ; Thus, manfully, ever lay Your Joubting on the sholf, Vnd ever from thc light of day, Keep troubles to yourself. A Love Story. MATTER OF FACT WITHOUT SENSATION. About twenty miles from New York lives n rich man who has a fine estate, and an interesting family, .of which the oldest is a beautiful young lady, her lather's pride and hope. Last year, while his elegant mansion was building, a voung carpenter who had just finished his trade, and whose sole property consisted in a pair of large hand , a stout, good heart. a:id habits of industry and soberness,' came to work on thc promises. Very naturally the young knight of the broad axe soon fell in love with the youngjady ; and not strange h s y the young lady was equally well p?case? with him. She sitent considerable time every day in watching the progress of the work, par ticularly that performed by the young mechanic, and he found his greatest in centive and joy in working under the watch of her loving eyes. The secret, however: soon became an open one. imd finally was bro! en to the ?yoting lady's fainer, lie heard the sad news without apparent concern, but in a few minutes set off fur the village where he made dilligent inquiry respecting the young carpenter, who, lie learned, wa* thc only son and support of a poor widow, but was unintelligent; capable, promising young man. Thc father returned home, and calling his daughter*ip his room, asked her how the matter stood between herself and thc young carpenter. It was a critical moment to her, and fora mo ment her fears triumphed over all other feelings, and she burst into tears. The tears ?vere followed by a confession of an attachment which had grown stronger every day, even with the fear that it was doomed toa cruel disappointment; for the object of it was nothing but a poor mechanic. ".But I love him with all my might, and would give my life for him," said the honest girL " Does he reciprocate your affection?" asked the father. "Thalhe .loes," replied the daughter, ;- but ho knows that you would never consent to his paying his addresses to me, ?rfd has been very, reserved about it. lie talks like goin_' away because he can not live, hero without seeing me, and thinks you would be unwilling to hive him visit the house." The father sent for the young carpen ter who came to the room with the gr?lt est trepidation. Ile suspected what, and, anticipating an immediate dismissal, his heart was in his throat when the father said to him : " Young man how is it that you have dared to carry on a flirtation with my daughter w ithout my consent ?" "That is false, sir, utterly false, sir," the young man replied ; " your daughter came to the house whore we were at work and I saw her and loved her, 1 could not keep my eyes from looking at her. She returned my look, and interest, and asked me questions. Almost overy day she. has been at thc house, and her com ing makes it seem a heaven to me, sir. But 1 knew 1 was only a poor mechanic, with a mother on my hands, and that you would not consent to my offering her any particular at;eutions. ?3o I have kept away. 1 am going off, sir, so i-oon as the job is done, for I cannot live without see ing her, and 1 would not do anything dis honorable, or that her father would disap prove." Tne young man turned his face toward t!ie window to hide a few stray tears which came into nis eyes. The. father looked steadily into his secretary as if it contained something of unusual interest. After a not unwelcome silence he turned to the young man and said : " You have acted honorably in this matter. You shall see my daughter all you please. I hear that you are .".worthy, industrious young man, and I prefer such a one for a son to any dissolute snob. I am sorry your education has been so much neglected. Hut it is not too late to remedy that mat ter. 1 will pay your wages regularly ti? your mother and send you to school for a year or two. After you get a good foundation laid ? will take you into my business ; and if you bear yourself in a worthy manner, one of these days my daughter shall bc your wife. You may quit work at once.'' Our readers can imagine the scene and thc joy that followed this speech of a wise, and kind father far better than we can describe them. Thc young man ha* just finished a year's course at school, where ito made wonderful progress. Thc father seems to be as proud of him as weil can bc; and he has found that life in his new and elegant mansion on the banks of the Hudson, with an accom plished daughter who cannot sufficiently express her gratitude for his kindness and and th* occasional visits of a noble-minded yoting man, who is working his way up in the wo:ld, is only a sweet foretaste o? elysium. If tither rich fathers would follow his example there would be few elopements und far less misery than a: present, and a great many happy hearts and happier homes. I'owonr.F.n HAIR RSTURKIXG.-A late parish fashion letter contains the fol lowing : I am assured on good authority that ihe fashion of dresses a panier is to bring back once more that of hair powder-the rea! powder of Lois XV.'s days. 1 hope 1 am not guilty of gossip, but it is whis pered that a certain great lady's hair is beginning to show the inevitable thin stxeakc of gray, <w? that some ot the .J young fair beauties..who surround her. tior c~lrit"rrpomhr; devierroF r^Vu^r~Tihe" ' first halt of the season at the Tuileries is announced for1 the 22d instant, and there is a good deal of curiosity evinced about powdered heads on the occasion. I sup pose'there arc more'.bald-headed and gray-haired- meh'at these'Ttiilcries gath erings than at any other receptions in Paris. There are quite enough white locks to satisfy the most ardent admirers of these hoary signs of age; it would, therefore, be a pity if the many young, and beautiful women who compose and surround the court circle ..use. artificial means to match the sterner sex. The gold and ebon locks which poets sing about are surely fap more to be admired than this powder, which rencers a blonde paler still, and most certainly darkens a brime. Lessons from an Old Merchant, That veteran and honorable merchant, Jonathan Sturgesfof New York, at the dinner given in his honor, on the occasion of his retirement from active business, gave the following golden counsel to young men : Noty, gentlemcn3 since there is nothing that I can talk about that you do not un derstand a great deal better than I do, I propose to say a few words for the bene fit of thc yoting men outside, and if you approve pf what is said, let it be consid ered as said by this grand j.try of mer chants now assembled. One of the first lessons I received was in 1813, when 1 warral even y?ar? of age. My grand-father had collected afine flock of merino sheep, which were. carefully cherished during the war of 1S12-'15. I was a shepherd boy, and my busi ness was to watch the sheep in the fields. A boy, who was more fond -of his books than of sheep," was-sent with me, but left the work to me, while he lay in the shade and read his books. I finally complained' of this* to thc old gentleman. 1 shall-never, forget his be nignant smile as he replied : " Never you mind, if you watch the sheep you will have the sheep." i thought to myself, what does the old gentleman mean ? 1 don't expect to have any sheep. My as pirations were quite moderate in those days, anda first-rate merino buck"was worth ?1,000. I could not mane out ex actly what he meant, but I had great con fidence in him, as he was a judge and had been to Congress in Washington's time ; so I concluded that it was all t ight, what ever he meant, and went out contentedly with the sheep. A fier I got to the field I could not get that idea out of my heack Finally I thought of my Sunday lesson : 1 Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things!" Then I understood" it. Never you mind who else*lieg?e*ct?d his duty, he cou faithful and you will have your re gard ! 1 do not think it will take many ads as long as it did me to understand .his proverb. I received my second lesson soon after came to this city, as a clerk to the late Lyman Uecd. A merchant from Ohio, ,vho knew 'me, came to purchase goods >f Mr. '.Iced. Ile expressed his gratifi ?t ion at finding me there, and said.to ne, " You have got a good place. Make (.ourself so useful that they cannot do without you." 1 took his meaning quicker han 1 did thc proverb about the sheep. Well, 1 worked upon these two ideas un il Mr. Reed offered mc an interest in lis business; The firs* morning after the copartner <hip was announced, Mr. James Geery, he old tea merchant, called to sec me, md said to me : 41 You arc all right now j have one word of advice to give you ; ie careful who you walk the streets with." i'bat was lesson number three. In this connection I must repeat an an ecdote told of the late Robert Lennox. V country merchant came into the store >f Mr. Morton, a highly respectable scotch merchant, to purchase goods. He poke about credit, references, &c. Mr. Jorton said: 111 will give you what redit you wish." ;i But," said the mer haut, " 1 am an entire stranger to you." Jr. Morton replied, '; Did 1 not see you ou at church with llobert Lennox?'1 Yes, I was at church with him." " Well, will trust any man whom Jiobert Len ox will take to church with him." I hope these three lessons of watchful ess ever the interests of their employers, watchfulness over their partners' interests nd their own, after they are joined, fol-" Dwed by intense watchfulness that no lack sheep get into their folds, may be npressed by these anecdotes upon the linds of those tor whom they are-bl inded. One other lesson I feel it very neoessa D inculcate-that of patience. With a little patience, most 'young len will find a posi'ion as high as they ave fitted themselves to fill. In all the changes which have taken lace in my firm since 1822, no partner as been brought in who has not served sa clerk in the establishment. And now leave my' house well-organized, prosper us and free from complications, still in ic hands of those who have served in it s clerks fir a longer or shorter period, mention this as an encouragement to oung men to persevere in the faithful erlbrtnunce of their duties. Natural History of the Mule. HY A. NUT MEO, KSQ. Was you ever on intimate terms en ti fl" Uh a mule, to studdy his little exentrisi isl I was, and I now consider myself >mpetent to write the natural history of te (critters, which I shall proceed briefly > do. The mule is a very pretty, domr-stick' limal ; he makes a very good substitute r any animal except a lap dog, but he:s ither ungainly for that. He is the Oniy animal known whose mic dident appear on Noah's passcrger st at the time of tho great freshet, 'u'es has been invented sense that date. Tharc habits is strictly domestic: Ive cn wuii stand and.kick a hui our, he re he could bc mdused to leave home en f >r a short time.. They are a very good looking animal, ben you consider what n humble kits? are Father was, but most, of em con", tct a habit in youth of wearing thnre rs longer than is strictly clarie. They int got so much tale, in proporshun, as hoss, but they are more particular but what little they have ; ir. aijjt a ry safe amusement to play ,with a ii I e's ta?e. Tharc vois aint considered so sweet as ? nightingales, but it's more expressive, d can be heard further on a still day or lark ni te. I heard wun oreo in the ;ht, when I was gobi home from a mil ite camp melin, and that's how I cum be gray headed so early in life. Mules l ave been called slow-motioned Itters-this ?s a mistake ; a grand mis te ; I discovered the falsity of this inion wun day. i was standing about 'wo T n Si tr sc Ol st hi fa P1 H di w fe in re hi bc th rb te be at an sei de mi ho Ri co s ti ?i iri| of three feet, from a mule, when.suddinly I ' thought Twas a snare drumM and sum body-was beatin the long roil .onto me. I ch?iiged ;my base quicker'? a district school teacher when he discovers a.bent pin between him and his chair; but when 1 took them -pants to be reconstructed thare was 13 distinct impressions of a mule's foot onto em. I never accused mules of being slow motioned sense that event. They ave much given to medita shun, and have been frequently known to stop in the mjddlfr of adays work, and get s? lost in meditashun, as to forget to pull a pound until recalled to a Realization of the surrounding circumstances by the persuasive eloquence of thare driver. They are also very absent minded, as a race, and' have been- known to forget thare was a man on thare back, and lie down )Tt a.mud puddle.to cool tharcselves off-an absent-minded mule is an on pleasant t; companion du voyage"-the last is french, or supposed to Ge. Some mules has a habit of kneelin down suddin aiid absenfing thnresclves from under a feller, when he's .-'din ; but 1 can't see whether this habit arises from a natural inclination to devoshunal habits, or from .a playful desire on thc mules part to see how a feller looks ly in on his stunimick in the middle of the road. I can't answer for the mule, but I can take my oath that the praktis aint noways kondusiveto piety in the rider. They is easy kept, and aint noways particular what they eat, so it's good; and-if hungry will chaw hay and even oats and corn when they cant get thissels. They is vegetarians by natur and eddyca shun.'but they never let principle get the best of inclinashun, on this or any other; and Ive seen one spirt out a mouthful of oats, to bite a pieee out of the feller that was storpin over to curry their legs ; but I dont know as they ever take eggs with their ham on sich occasbuus. Theyrare natterly of a /aceshus disposition, and often give a feller a poke in the stummick or ribs, jest to mi<ke him Im f. I might say much iii ,the mules praise, but I shunt until 1 take Hrrlyih'f?f n Irvin. There aint. but one successful way a mule can be managed, andihat is to make him think you want him to be mean and ugly as Satau ; then he'll bea good mule, Jest to spite you. A Siberian Execution. A number of political exiles having Ht tempted a rising against the Russian au luorities, a number were made prisoners, and seven of the leaders sentenced to seven thousand blows of thc stick each : At length a decision acceptable at Pe tersburg was arrived at, by which the prior Sierocinski, Druzdzalowski, Zab lourski, Szokalski, Gorski or Zagorski (a funner officer of Napoleon, more than sixty years old,) who had all been draft ed into the ranks of the Siberian army, md thc Russian Mieledyn were eondemn sd each tu 7,000 blows with thc stick without mercy. If any one out uf the number outlived thc sentence he was to be sent to the Nerchinsk mines for the rest of his life. The great mass of per ions implicated were variously condemn ;d to 2,000, 1,000 or 500 blows with the ?liek, and those who survied to be sent, in some ca?es, lo hard labor for life; in ithcrs, for a number of years to penal colonization ; 'and others again for a milt :ar.y service in the morn distant garrison. The day for thc terrible fulfillment of thc Imperial will at length approached. It .vas in March, 1807 ; the scene Omsk. General Gaiafieyef, a man after the Em ipror-'a own heart, had been dispatched rom . St. Petersburg as his aller ego, to lit perm tend the execution, and sec that it vas ear.-ied out in its full severity. Al laybreak two battalions of a thousand nen marched out-of Omsk-one charged vit h the murder of those condemned to ',000 blows, the other with the execution if lesser sentences. The executioner, ?alafieyef, superintended the arrange nerts, and remained with the. men who i:td to give the 7.000 strokes. Accord ng to general usage, the soldiers charged vith such ditties ?ire placcd.clpscly shoul ler to shoulder, and in dealing the blows ?ut slightly raise the arm from the elbow, ,nd keep their feet together, as when tanding on parade. ' The sticks could inly be so thick that three can be drop led in a carbine barrel, On this occ-a ion all this was reversed. Gaiafieyef ?laced the soldiers at arm's length from ach tither, made them raise their arms [igh in carrying'out thc sentence, and the ticks were thrice thc Uiiial weight and ize. Not one of the six chief offenders out ?ved that day except SzokaUki, and he ras struck less hard, and was afterwards Hended by the regimental surgeon ; the there fell on the snow, stained red with heir blood, and either expired beneath he rods or shortly aftei wards. Sierocin ki was compelled to witness the fate of is friends ere his own turu came, and he ad long to wait for that deadly walk, 'hen his shirt was stripped from his boulders, and his hands, according to the egulations in such eases, fastened to a arbinc held by two soldiers, who thus (impelled him to keep regular step. The urgeon approached with some restori ve cordial-for hU? health, always deli atc, had suffered so much during his mg confinement, that he looked more Ice a spectre than a living man. But e had lost no iota of his own strength of >ul", and turning away his head, replied, Take my own blood ; I do not want our cordials ; I will not have them. For ard !" The order to march was given, he priest entered the street of death, iciting in,a low voice, "Misere mei Dens .cundirm, magnam miscricordium tuum." * * Gaiafieyef shouting frantically, H arder ! harder ! strike harder !" and ie submissive tools of despotism obeyed ) well, that Sierocinski after walking icc down the line, and receiving a thou tnd blows', fell insensible, weltering in s blood. He was lifted to his feet to ll again immediately ; and then a hurdle .epared, for the occasion, was brought, e was bound on it, kneeling, and so .agged up and down until hi's sentence as fulfilled, Ile bac, given at first a w shrieks Of agony, ar.d still was breath g until the four thousandth blow; the maining three thousand were struck r n s corpse, or rallier his now .fleshless mes. Eye-witnesses assured me that .i Ilish was cut in great strips by ti c ds;,the very bones were cut and spltn red, and tho entraUs exposed.;. Ail Si ria was horror-stricken and indignant a scene of such unparalleled barbarity ; d thc very soldiers w.ho.carried out the ntence spoke ?f it to me with a simd r. The dead, the dying, and those who ight yet liv?j were all conveyed to the spital. . The murdered Poles and one issian were afterwards thrown into a mrhon grave. A black wooden cross ll marks their resting place in the lone steppe, and bears witness to the sniTor rs of these martyrs of liberty. . This massacre took place in the reign 1 Nicholas I.-he whom the civilized rid, monarchical and republican, was i so ready to -flatter- and-bowdown to ; h& |; whosu wisdom and modcratiav-bavp been so lauded ; he who has b?en called " the Great."" But .the future will bestow a very different epithet upon him.-My\Es cape from Siberia, by Ruffin Piotrowski, -? -.- ? BRINCING^ UER To-There is .a true story ot' a very faithful and sufficient janitor in a neighboring city, who has for years been a great favorite with the peo ple among whom he resides, and with all of our own who have attended entertain ments of which he has had charge. Du ring thc excitement and crowd of a ball or a lecture, short time since, a lady faint ed. He was re?dy lor an emergency of this kind, and had the necessary restora tives close at hand for use.- She was borne into an ante-room, and our friend rushed for his bottle of camphor, soon returningand proceeding immediately to rub it on her face and forehead? applying it to her nose for her smell of. After rubbing awhile she revived, and he then became" conscious that there was some thing wrong about the camphor. He smelt of it, and found that all of its virtue had evaporated ; he applied his tongue to ,it, and lound, to his dismay, that he had been bathing his patient liberally:with mucilage ! She was so stuck up by the attention that she had to be sent home in a carriage. JUST So.-rFive of the sweetest words in the English language begin with H, which is only a breath-Heart, Hope, Home, Happiness and Heaven. Heart is a hope-place, and home is a heart place ; and that man is sadly mistaken, who would exchange the happiness of home for anything less than heaven. -? ? ?
