POETRY. i^OO^rALWAYS ON THE SUNNY BIDF What littlo tilings may sweeten life If wc but view them rightly 1 Our drakest moments oft are rile With pleasures beaming rightly. The mind that wraps itself in grief Anil vents it* vma in [ir.unin,. ? 5>vau*u^, Would never gain one hour's relief, For Rges paso'd in moaning. Look always on the sunny side? The sun is ever shining; The shadow may be dark and wide, But 'tin no u?c repining. Nay, tho' the huh seem vawish'd quite, We are not unenlightened. The glittering stars show bc?t At night, As though by darkness brightened. i our path may bo thro' deserts drear, But springs e'en there aro flowing, Keep up your npirits, never fear, Heaven utill in joy bestowing. Ah a bright ttower that may bo found Where all besides is dreary, Bcems to shed sweeter fragrance around, In comfort to the weary. Just bo, a joy the mourner sees Am. 1 the gloom of sorrow, t>~ ' a uuvikvd uouoic power to please, And strengthens for the morrow. Then let us alwo.ys look for joy, E'en in our griefs invito her; And what would otherwise annoy, Will holp to rankc life brighter, MISCELLANEOUS. PRIVATE PUDDING; OR HOW THE 1IOOSIER COME IT. Many years ago a lloosier, who had just struck New Orleans for the first time, after his flatboat was made snug and fast, went up to sec the sights of the city. Passing St. Charles lie stopped immediately in front of the St. Charles Hotel, and, looking up seemed to scrutinize the building with the eye of an architectural connoisseur. After natisfying his gaze he asked of u passer-by what buildincr it wn? nn Wnn # O " "' # ' 9 *"* told it was a hotel, he enquired for the entrance, and being shown, he ascended the steep steps. Approaching the office, he enquired for the landlord, of whom he enquired if he could get 'a bito' to cat. Mr. E. R. Mudge, who was the host at that time, and who is a host at all times, humoring tho fellow, told him ho could do so by paying a dollar. After considering for some time on this item, and gravely lookintr hia in said, 'Well, I'il go it?tliar's your dollar, whar's your dinner?' 'Wei!,* said the other, with a smile, 'it is not ready yet, but take a seat at the table there, and you can amuse yourself with the papers for half an hour, when you will hear the irnnor wl?ir?k ?rsn 0 .. .?tvu nut iiuunii you th?i dinner is ready.' 'The gong, what's that?' asked the Hccsier. 'Oh you will find out when you hear it,' replied Mudge. Satisfied with this answer, the Hoosier, after looking wildly around him. snf n and rummaged over the papers. Time speed on at its customary rate, when suddenly the gong sounded, and as usual the crowd moved for the dining room. Recovering from his astonishment at tho noise of the gong, and scattering the delicious fumes of the dinner, the Hoosicr made a rush through the crowd for a scat, b"t being met bv the host he was conducted to his allotted chair. The gentlemen seated on each side of him, an vroll na 41%a *-? * * ..v.. ?7 viiv guiiuciimn opposite Mm, had their wine before them. Alter finishing his ?oup, and having liiu plate well filled, tho Hoosier observed the gentlemen helping thomselves freely to -wine, and so, seizing the bottle of his rij*ht hand neighbor, he attempted to help himself, when he was modestly informed thnt the wine was 'private.' Tlic Hoosier did not seem to comprehend, and with a blank sort of look resumed his knife and fork. On laying them down again, and having apparently come to th/? conclusion that it could not all be 'nrivnto* wln? *'?J L-,J 1 ? ?,v, IIU DVIM/U IIU1U OI his left hand friend's bottle. '8'm, if you please, sir,' said the oftended individual with a fierce look, "that is private wine, sir.' The Hoosier looked still more astonished, and finding it a hard caso, thought he would make another trial any how. So reaching across the table, he seized the bottle opposite to him, and was just in the act of lining his glass, whor. his vis-a-vi* --1 J ? * MT-ounoca -private wlno, sir, if you please,' and withdrew the bottle from the fearful leakage it was about to undergo. The 'green 'un,' becoming enraged at being tbiied on every side, and observing that there was a general simpering ana tittering nmong the waiters, turned on the servant who stood at the back of the onnir, nnd who hnd tnken away his plate for the fifth or sixth timo, and crica out to htm with an oath to bring back bis J plat*, and that if he took it away again, | 'he'd be dod-rod if fc-e didn't d Iraw his | pickcr on him,' nnd, a* suiling the action j | to the word, put his hand into his bosom, showing the handle of a huge bowie knife. After this, things went on quietly, till the desert was put on the table, when a large dish of 'Charlotte llttsse' was set right before the Hoosier. This he immediately drew nenr his plate, and looking right and left at his neighbors, ho helped himself to u large portion of it. Keeping his eyes fixed on the dish, whilo eating he perceived his right hand neighbor attempting to withdraw the dish from him. 'No you don't mister, said the Hoosier to him, 'that tkar puddin' is jtrivate pudrfinV The left hand gentleman, not observing what had passed, there said? 'Allow me to take this pudding, sir ?' 'No, you can't take that Omrpud&iri? said the Iloosior with a scowl, 'that's prit'S.V pUddtn',' and he re-helped himself. Shortly after, the trontleman onnositn was in the act of drawing the dish over to him. 'Hold on, mister,' said the Hoosier, with a look of triumph, 'I'd have you to know that that puddin' is private puddin',' while at the same time lie put his thumb to his nose and made sundry gyrations with his fingers. 'You can't come it over me,' he continued, feeling that a joke had been practised upon him. 'Private wine, eh!' The nttention of the table being attracted during the latter scone, the gentlemen around burst into a roar of laughter, and soon the whole sionr wos whispered from one to another. The thing took so well that every gcntloman was induced to send his bottle to tlm Honsi^r with compliments, nnd our 'green 'un' soon bccnmc os merry ns ft lord. Hiccoughing os he left the table, he turned round to the gentlemen and said : 'Well, old (hie) fellows, you (hie) couldn't fbic) come it over (hie) me wilh your (hie) privato wine.' The glasses fairly danced upon the table with the uproar and laughter which this last remark created, and the Iioosicr staggering out of the room made the best | oi ms way to ins boat.?TV. O. Pic. REFORMATION OF WM. WIRT. The distinguished William Wirt, with. in six or eight months after his first ninr' riagc becnmc addicted to intemperance, i the effect of which operated strongly on the mind and health of his wife, and in a few months more, she was numbered with tho dead. Her death led him to leave 'he country where he resided, and - he moved to Richmond, where he soon rose to distinction. But his habits hung about him. and ocrjuuonnllv !>? ??? _ , ? - ? - ? --j ??v (i uu (uutivt with iolly and frolicsome spirits in bacchanalian rcverlo. His true friends expostulated with him, to convince him of the injury he was doing himself. But he still persisted.?His practice began to fall off, and many looked on him as on the sure road to ruin. He was advised to oret married, with a vipw nf habits. This lie consented to do if the right person offered. He accordingly paid his address to a Miss Gamble. After some month's attention, he asked her hand in mnrringe, she replied?"Mr. Wirt, I have been well aware of your intentions for some time back, and shoulu have given you to understand that your visits and attentions were not acceptable, had I not reciprocated the affection which 1 A v. - v . . v. 2 uu vtiiivuu iui me. uui i cannot yield ray nsscnt until you mnke mc a pledge never to taste, touch or handle any intoxicating drink." This reply to Mr. Wirt was as unexpected as it was novel. His reply was, that he regarded the proposition as a bar to all further consideration of the subject, and left her. Her courso to him was the same as ever?his, resentment and neglect. In the course of a few weeks he went again, and again solicited her hand. But her reply was, her mind was made up. He became indignant, and regarded the terms she proposed as insulting to his honor and vowed it should be the last meeting they should have. He took to drinking worse and worse, and seemed to run headlong to ruin. One day, while lying in the outskirts of the city, near a little grocery or ffrocf sllOD. dead dnink. n vAiinn ln/ltr w ? # ' " J s ?/ whom it is not necessary to name, was passing that way to her home, not far off, and beheld him with his face upturned to the rays of the scorching sun. She took her handkerchief, with her own name marked upon it, and placed it over his face. After ho had remained in that way some hours, he was awakened, and his thirst being so great, he went into the little grocery or grog shop to get a drink, when he discovered the handkerchief, at which he looked, and the name was on It. After pausing a few minutes, he cxclaitned?"Great Hod! who left this with me! who placed this on my face V* No one know. He dropped^ the glass exclaiming, "enough! enough 1'' he retired instantly from the store, forgetting his thirst, but not th? dfilumidi Hip linn^b^.- ? ?* , Hill lady, vowing if God gave him strength, never again to touch, taste, or handle, intoxicating drinks. To moot Miss G. again was the hardest effort of bis life. If he met ber in her carriage, or on foot, he would (Jodge round the nearest corncr. She at Inst addressed him a note under her own hund, I inviting him to her house, which he finally gathered courage enough to uccept. He told !icr if she bore nfFcctIon for him, he would agree to her own terms. Her reply was: "my conditions are now what they ever hare been." "Then," said the disenthralled Wirt, "I accept them." They were soon married ; and from that day he kept his word and Irs affairs i Li i ? i ui ijjiiu-i.ru, wiiiic iioikjio turn ifluriCSgntnercd thick upon his brow. I lis name lias been cnr&lled high in the temple of fame, while his deeds, his patriotism and renown, live after him with imperishable lustre.

On the following day the sextoncss was walking through the grave-yard, when hor attention wns sudaanly arrested by two hands whioii she perceived thrust through a hole in a large vault, and drawing towards thera a piece of coffin-board to stop the nperture. Being much alarmed, she went for the police, who returned with her to the spot, and on looking into the vault, they discovered a living tenant comfortably stretched on some grass aud straw, strewed over coffinboards and human bones. With a skull so placed as to answer for a pillow. Thev instantly summoned the strange tenant of the tomb to 'come out nnd appear,' which he seemed very loth to do; and it was not untill they threatened to fire at him, that he come out and surrendered.

According to the Courier des Etats Unis, he died almost immediately on his arrival in Portugal, June 9th, of an indisposition, which, though regarded as slignt at first, terminated suddenly in death. The English papers make no mention of it. Worth Remembering.?He who is passionate and hasty is generally honest. It's your cool, dissembling hypocrite, of whom you should beware. There is no deceit about a bull dog. It's only the cur that sneaks up and bites you when your back is turneu. Again, we say, beware of the man who has cant in his looks.
