Three jolly husbands out in the country, by the names of Tim Watson, Joe Brown, and Bizl Walker, sat late one evening drinking at the villago tavern, until, being pretty well corned, they agreed that each one, on return ing home, should do . the first thing that his wife told hiu, in default of i hich he should the next morning pay the bill. They separated for the night, engagig to Ineet again the next morning, and give an honest account 4their proceedings at home, so far as they related to the bill. The next morning Walker and Brown were early at their posts, but it was some time before Watson made his appearance. Walker began first. "You see, when I entered my house the candle was out, and the fire gave but t glimmer of light, I came near walking into a pot of batter that the pan-eakes were to be made of in the morning: My. wife, who was dread fully out of humor, said to me, sar castically: "Bill, dq put your foot in the bat 'tori" "Just as .you say, Maggy," said.I, "and without the least hesitation I put my foot in the batter, and then went to bed." Next, Joe Brown told his story: "My wife had already retired in our usual sleeping room, whieh adjoins the kitchen, and the door of which was ajar: not being able to navigate perfectly.you know, I made a dread el clattering among the house furni ture, and my wife in no very pleasant tone, bawled out: " break the orridge pot 1" "i sooner sai that done. I seiz ed hold of the bala of the o, and Satrkin i agabWthe , 16M &y3 broke fi into a hundred pieces. After this 9 ?Ioit I rptired to rest, and get a eu leture all night for my pains." It was now Tim. Watsn's, turn 'to give an account of himself, which he did with a very long face,as follows : "My wife gawe me the most unlucky command in the world; for I was blun deing up stairs in the dark, who nahe cries but: '"Do break your neck--d Tim I" "I'll be cursed if I do,, Kate," said I, as I gathered myself up, I'llsooner pay the ill." "And so, lAndlord here's the cash for you,'and this is the la4t time I'll ever risk Ove dollars on the com mand of my wi(e." How -Te BI UNHAPPY.-In the first place, if you want to be miserable, be . selfish. Think all the time of yourself and et your own things. Do not care about anybody 'else. Hare no feeling for any one. buit yourself. Never think of enjoying the satisfaction of seeing others happy: but raither, if you see a smiling face, - be jealous, jest another should enjoy what ydu have net. Envy every one who is better of,~ in any re spect, than yourself; think unkindly towarda themu and speak ill of them. Be 'constantly afraid leat somie one shouild encroach upore your rights ; be watchful against; it, and if any one cornea near your things, unap at him like a mad dog. Contend earnestly for everything that se your own, though ittay1not be wortik a dime ; for yew' "rights" are just as much concerned as if it were a pound o('gold. Never yield a point. Be very sensiive, and take everything that is psaid to you in playfuln~ess, in the wos -serious manner. Be jealous of your friends, lest t'hey should notthink enough of you. And if at any time they should seemn to neglect you, put the worst con straction upon their conduct 'you can.

The enthusiasm whiph anima ted the Philadelphia Convention upon the entrance, arm, in arm. of.the- Massa. chusotts and South Carolina delegations, would be but a meagre display, compar. ed to that which would hail the entrance of these chieftains into the Soldiers' Convention. The event would send a thrill of joy through the heart of the nation, and present to the world a spec. tacle more sublime and impressive than ever marked the advent of peace or illustrated that grand moral pre-eminance and abiding conservatism which consti tute such strong guarantees of peitna nent unity and fraternity. It is impos sible to conceive what influence such an exhibition would exercise upon the country. It would effectually diepel any. lingering resentment- that might exist, and stamp upon the Union the impress of indissolubility. The two Generars, in their sublime relation, would be esteemed living types of na tional unity, and happy emblems of abiding peace and fraternity. A eol. diers' convention, hallowed by the presence of such men, in relations of cordial fraternity, would squelch wbat. ever of radicalism may have survived the Philadelphia.assemblages. A WOMAN BRAND.D-Europe has mend this true tale of Parisian life. In the blography of Victor Hugo we find the followng: - At Paris, in 1818, on a summer's day, towards twelve o'clock at noon I was passing. by the square of the - Pa laisse de Justice. A crowd was assem bled there around & post. I drew near. To the post was tied a young female, wito a collar iound her neck, and a writing over her head. A cha fing dish of burning coals, was on the grotind, before her; an iron instru, ment,with a wooden handle, was pla. ced in the live embers, and was being heated there. The crowd looked per fectly satisfied. The woman' was guil ty of what the law called domestio theft. A..the clock struck noon be hind that woman, and without 'eing seen by her, a man stepped up to the post.' I had noticed that the jacket worn by ths woman had an opening behind, kept together by strings; the man quietly untied these, drew aside the jacket exposed the woman's back as far as the I waist, seized' the iron which was in the chafing dish, and' ap plbd it, leaning heavily on the bare shoulder.' Both the iron and the wrist of the executioner disappeared. 'his is now. more than forty years ago, but there still rings in my ears the hor riblo shriek df this wretched ceature. To me, she had been a thief, but was now a martyr, I was. then sixteei years of age, and Ileft the place de termined to combat to the led days of my life these cruel deso the law. GEN.
