It was this readiness in repartee ihich con. tinually saved Voltaire from social over turn. le once praised another writer very heartily to a third person. 'It is very stratge,' was the reply, 'that you speak so well of bim, for lie sayi that ou are' a charlatan.' '1!' replied Ao tirie, 'I think it very likely that botii (f us may be uistaken.' Again, you imtust all have heard the anecdote of the young gentleman who was discoursing very dogmatically about the appropriate sphere of woman. 'And pray, sir,' screamed out ait old lady, 'what is the appropriate sphere of woman?' 'A ce lestial sphere, madni!' Robert Hall did not lose his power of retort even in inadlness. A hvpocrital condoler with isisfortunes once visited him in the mail-house, and said, in a whining tone, -What brought you here, Mr. hall?' significantly touched his brow with his finger, aId replied, 'What'll never bring you sir,-too much brain.' A rapid change from enthusiasm to non chalauce is often necessary in society. Thus a person one cloriuently eulogiz rig the angelic qualities of Joan of Are, was suddenly met by the petulant ques tion, ' W hat was Joan of Arc made of ?' She was Maid of Orleans.' A Yankee is never upset by the astonishing. IIe walks ao.ng the Alps with his hands iu his pockets, and the smoke of his ci gfar is seen amnig the mists of Niagara. One of tiis class sauntered into the o!liec of the lightning telegraph. and asked how long it would take tc transmit a message to Washington. 'Ten min utes,' was the reply. 1l can't wait,' was the rejoin-der. Sheridanm, who nlever was without a reason, never failed to ex tricate himself in any emergency by his wit.

The com mon wines which, are used on the soil that produces them do not intoxicate, but nourish, forming a Irage itein in td-ed in the pabulum of the peasant. WN'hen he goes out to his daily toil .he carries with him a loaf of coarse black bread and a canteen of wine, and these refresh and sustain himn: he rarely tastes meat, butter and cheese. This vin ordinaire makes a part of his break fast, of his dinner, and of his evening meal; and costs him, perhais, two or three cents a bottle, if he pui chase it. It is the juice of the grape, not deri ving its body or taste from an infusion or spirit and skil ful combination of drugs as in our country, but from the genial soil and beneficient sun. The truth of what I have here said is supported by the general remark, that drunkenness is but seldom seen in France; and when it is, it does not proceed from the use of the common wine which enters so largely into the sustenance of the peas antry and coninon people, but from brandy and foreign wines, particularly the first, to the allurements of which the hard-worked and closely confined mechanics, artizans, and dense factory populations of the capital and large towns are particularly exposed. I am obliged to believe that the use on the soil of any native wines in any country is-conducive to health, cheerfulness, and temperance; antl I -un as equally cou vinced that. all foreign wines are injuri otis in all these espee's. A.lene the had effects ui the wines imported ot used in England and Ancrica. There is a great difference between thelower of giving god advice and the ability to act upon it.

A iman of letters is often a man with two nature,-one a book nature, the other a human nature. These two often clash sadly. Seneca wrote in praise of poverty, on a table formed of solid gold, with two millions of pounds let out at usury. Sterne was a very selfish man; yet a writer unexcel!ed for pathos and charity. Sir Richard Steele wrote excellently well on temperance, when he was sober. Dr. Joliusonl' essays on politeness were admirable; yet, his 'You lie, sir!' and ' You don't under stand the question, sir!' were too com mon characteristics of his colloquies. - lie and Dr. Shelbeare were both pen. sioned at the same time. The report immediately flew, that the king had pen sioned two hears, a he-bear and -a she bear. Young, whose gloomy flancy cast such sombre tinges on life, was in society a briEk, lively mut, continually pelting his hearers with puerile puns. Mrs. Carter, fresh from the stern, dark granduer of the Night Thoughts, ex pressed her amazement at his ilippancy 'Madam,' said ie, 'there is much dif ference between writing and talking.' The same poet's favorite theme was the nothingness of worldly things; his fa vorite pursuits was rank and riches. -lad Mrs. Carter noticed this incongru ity, she might have added. 'Madam, there is much difference between wri ting didactic poems and living didactic )oems.'

True, the production o)f ideas must ever stand first, but to what undue lengths will the unchecked faney go even in the strongest minds; and it is only by keeping them within proper bounds, discarding the weak and superfluous. and adopting the true and bealutif'ul, that we can ever hope to give anything worthy of tihe admiration of posterity. Some can never write a letter without filling the whole sheet, and if the ink holds out they will write across and across the paper again; so that what at first was searcely iitelligible, at last defies not only tihe skill and ingenuity of oman to uminderstand, but defeats every atteipt to read it, while a clever man's letter is ever short, pilhy, and initelli. geit, and vou feel satisfied on arriving at the end of his epistle.

Th'lis anecdote was told in an admiira ble style, and never was one meore- ap pr-opriately thrown in to illustrate a po sition. At tho recital of it, the whole Convention was convulsed with laugh -Contentment~ is this world bam~ie,.. WHAT IS PREJUDICE.-Prejudice is the contrast of judgment, since it antic ipates reflection. It has often been acknowledged that precipitation of thought, as well as of speech, entails very fatal consequences; and that the man who, through life, can wisely steer clear of this double inconvenience, de. serves the appel'ation of happf. He thinks, and thinks again, before'oe lets his tongue mingle in the flow of conver sation, and consults his inmost self ere he ventures to decide. He has also learned by experience, that Nature has its mask, Science its obscurities,- the World its artifices, and Merit its ene mies; and, he consequently never deter mines, without having first deeply searched into the matter. He lifts the veil that unfolds each object, and dis covers that it would be madness to judge too harshly and at first sight. What would the result be, if we trusted to our eyes only? Why, the sun would be pronounced to turn around the earth, instead of the latter encircling the orb of day. The prejudices of a single mind can easily be destroyed; but when they have been reduced into i egular systens, and found their way into social circles formed to accredit them, there is no remedy. CONSoLATIoN FoR GENIUS.-Let no man, who is in anything above his fel lows, claim, as of right, to be valued or understood: the vulgar great are com prehended or adored, because they are in reality in the same moral plane with those who admire; but he who deserves the higher reverence, must himself con vert the worshipper.-The pure and lofty life; the generous and tender use 1of the rar: creative faculty; the brave udurance of neglect and ridicule; the s rarge and cruel end of so much gi owus and so much vi:iuc-these are the lessons by w hich i 1e sympathies ofman kind must be interested, and their facul ties educated, up to the love of such, a character and the comprehension of such an intelligence. Still the lovers and scholars will be few: still the rewards of fame will be scanty and ill-protioned: no accumulation of knowledge or series of experiences can teach the meaning of genius to those who look f r it in additions and results, any more than the numbers studed round a planet's orbit could approach ne'arer infinity than a single unit. The world of thought must remain apart from the world of action, for, if they once coin eided, the problem of Life would be solved, and the hope, which we call heaven, would be realized on earth. And therefore men Are cradled into poetry 1-y wrong: They learn inl suffTering what they teach in CHUNESEI METHOD OF CoLDRING HAIn.--M. Stanislaus Julien, the learned orientalist, has communicated to the French Institute the Chinese method of coloring hair. It is said that thef viuestlmve succeeded in reaching and tranrforming7vy r omedi cine and a peculiar ciiet, the lieiiid which colors the bilous system, and giving to white, or red hair a black tint, whlich ma~intains itself during the con tinued growth. TJhe coloring is pro duced by meanas of certain substances mixed with the food and drink. Tfhese subistanucs are not hurtful to the body, having for basis aind elements ferrugi ouis principles which are recommended by phlysic-ians, aind always succesfully empulloyed. M. D~ebay, who has writ ten a treatise on this subject andi pres pnared a formnula of the means to be cem ployed. says: It is astonishing that the phtysiolo gists who have experimented and suc ceeded in coloring the bones of living animals, red, by nmakin g them eat and dligest madder, have niot thought of seeking in- the same way to color red and wh ite hair black. Theli hair and the beard belong to vegetable life, and are disposed to the same phenomena. In fact, after a sufficient quantity of ferruginous salts has been introduced into the body, the circulation takes them up; the blood loaded with these substan ces deposites them in the follicles of the hair-, which in turn, pours thenm into the oil, saturated with iron, becomes black, and the whole hair with it. M. Imber at present bishop in Clhi na, offers, according to the testimony of the Abba Voisin, one of the directors of foreign missions, a living proof of this ifr erual coloring of the hair and bear'd. 1t is byv this method that the Cinse~, correcting thre vagaries of nature, aied been able to claim the title from the highest antiquity of the black-laired The Pope blessed the Neapolitan army on their flight from Romran territory, n's follotvsi 6.1 bless'd you matcihing to, tina ay.

Worth, indig nant at the proceeding, was.describing the part which Scott took in the batle of Niagara. He said that Scott's brig. ado were advancing, towards evening, under the cover of a wood, from which. they were to deploy into the open field; Scott had already had one horse shot under him, and, as the column were deploying, his second horse fell, and he became entangled under it. The col umn wavered, and Worth, then his youngest aid, rushing to his assistance, dismounted, and tendered him his horse, I saying, 'General, can you mount, the column falters for a leader?' Scott immediately mounted, and riding to the head of the column, cried out, 'Advance men! the night's our own," and Worth fllowed Scott, ashis aid on foot. At this moment a discharge of grape from a single cannon prostrated Scott, the horse which he rode, and his aid, Worth. Scott and Worth were immediately carried to the rear, Scott seriously, and Worth, as it was supposed, mortal ly wouided. Attention was, of course, first paid to the commanding. officer. After some time a deep groan was heard, apparently from, the adjoining tent, and Scott, with that forgetfulness of himself which distinguishes him on such occasions, begged thosurgcon to repair to the qarter whence the sound proceeded, and attend, as :he tsaid, 'to poor Worth, who must be dyirg.' In stead of this, as Worth concluded, 'the cry of agony proceeded from my faith ful dying charger, who had managed to drag himself upon three legs 'to the edge of my tent, whero..he- ha lain" down to die.? Pausing for # nient while there was hardly a dry eye in the company, he added-'I beg Tour par don, gentlemen, I find that, m defend ing Gen. Scott Ihae been incidentally led to describe mj own service.' TuE SwEETNESS OF IIQME.-He who has no home has not the sweet pleasure of life; he feels not the thous and endearments that cluster around that hallowed spot to fill the void of his aching heart, and wile away his leis. tre moments in the sweetest of life's joys.

The chosen partner of your toil has a 3mile of ap probation when others have deserted, a hand to help when all others refuse, and a heart to feel your sorrows as her own. Perhaps a smiling cherub, with prattling glee and joyous laugh, -will drive all sorrow from your care-worn brow, and enclose it in the wreaths of domestic bliss. .s o matter how hiumibc the hotne, poorly its inmates are clad; if true hea a dwell there, it is yet a home-a elk& i t'ul, prudent wife, obedient and affectiow iL ate children, will give their poset*V more real joy than bags of gold and windly honor.
