Why should the rich despise the poor ? Why-should the poor repine? A little time wAl make us all In einal friendship join: We're much to blame-we're all the same Alike we're made of clay And since we're here with friends so dear, Let's drive dull cares away. The only cireumstance in life, That ever I could find, To soften care and temper mirth, Is sweet content of mind; With such a store we have much more Than e'er we can convey; And since we'er here with friends so dear Let's drive dull cares away. Let's make the best we can of life, Nor render it a curse; But take it as yqu would a wife, For better or for worse: Life at the best is but a jest, A dreary winter's day, And since we're here with friends so dear Let's drive dull cares away. When age, old age, comes creeping on, Ana we are young no more, Le's.Aot repine at what we've done, Nor.think our pleasure o'er: Butcheerfufly, as formerly, Be innocently gay Kuidsince we'er here with friends so dear, Let's drive dull cares away. - h Wdinight Aa---in A TRUE STOAR.

She rose at my entrance, and seemed a little surprised- at the appearance of a perfect stranger. . I a few words. I related to her the strange qonduct of my horse, and his stubborn opposition to my mind. "I am not," I observed, " superstitious, nor in elined on the side of the metaphysical doctrines of those who support them; but the strange, unaccountable feeling that crept over me in attempting to pass your house, induced me to solicit lodgings for the night." " We are not," she replied, " well guar. ded, 'tis true, but in this part of the coun try we have little to fear from robbers, for we have never heard of any being near us; we are surrounded by good zneighbors, and I flatter myself we are at peace with them. But this evening, in econsequence of my father's absence, I feel uniusually lonesome, and if it were not bordering on the superstitions, I might reason as you.have, and say I consent to your staying; for similar feelings had been mine ere you arrived; from what cause I cannot imagine." 2The. evening passed delightfully away ; thy young hostess was intelligent and laveiy; the hours flew so quick, that on l(.okig at my watch, I was surprised to san. that it was II o'clock. 'This was thE signal-Jor retiring ; and by twelve, every-inmate, of the house was probably asleep, save myself. I could not sleep strong visions floated across my Lbrain, and I lay twistinb and turning on the bed, in an agony of sleepless suspense. The clock struck one-its last vibrating sound had scarcely died away, whben the open. ing-of a shutter, and the raising of a sash in one of the lower apartments, convinced me some one was entering the house. A noise foagowing, as of a person jumping from the window sill to the floor, and then followed the light and almost noise lesstep of one ascending the stairway. I; lp .inthe room adjoining the one oec~ie'thely; mine wvas next to e'sicase; the step came along the aIery slow and cautious. I had seized my pistol and slipped on part of my dasitIns, determined to watch or listen to d1ioduiements; seeming mysterious or Sthe sound of the steps stopped ~t* iiz4.thn followed as of one ap Sthe key-hole, and a lowv A me the. villin wpis I'tung. f sodmotionless, my pistol firnly ra~ed,.n.a..usle moved, nor heaven luidsafM l iital-the instru persono e asd, and I loint sisly eiproachd ti or ofimy * . now~ went by instinct, or rather eby tim aieysnc of the sottd, for 2a3; heard his hand grasp the latch of one door, mine seized the other-deep silence followed this movement; it seemed as if he heard the sound and awaited the repe tition: it came not-all was still-he might have considered it the echo of his own noise. I heard the door open softly -l also opened mine, at the very mo ment I stepped into the entry, I caught the glimpse of a tall man enterring the lighted chamber of the young lady. I softly stepped along the entry, and approached the chamber; through the half-opened door I glanced my eyes into the room. No object was visible, -save the curtained bed, within whose sheets lay the intended victim to a midnight as. sassin, and, gracious heaven! a negro, for at that moment a tall, fierce-looking black rascal approached the bed, and never were Othello and Desdemona more natu rally represented-atleast, that particular scene of the immortal bard's conception. I was now all suspense; my heart swelled into my throat almost to suffoca tion, my eyes too, cracking, as I made a bound into the room. The black villain had ruthlessly drag ged part of the covering off the bed, when the sound of my foot caused him to turn. He started, and thus confronted, we stood gazing on each other a few seconds; his eyes shot fire-fury was de picted in his countenance. He made a spring towards me, and the next moment lay a corpse on the floor. The noise of the pistol aroused the fair sleeper, she started in the bed, and seemed an angel of the white clouds emerging from her downy bed to soar up to the skies. The first thing that presented itself to her view, was myself standing near her with a pistol in my hand. " Oh! do not murder me!-take all you cannot-wfi I not kill me, sir." The servants now rushed in-all was explaird.... Jie'wretch turned crt to le slave from Viraiha; I had the providet,.. rescuing one from the worst o, in after years called me husband, and. Eeep away fioVm Teinptation. The only safe course for a young man, who would retain his virtue and his cor rect principles, is to keep away from temptation. He may have fallen who merely ventured to look at vice in her gaudy colors. Her temptation was too strong for them to resist. They partook of the fatal glass snatched the gilded treasure, orgive them selves up to uncleanliness. None are secure who run in the wpy of sin; who see how near they can ven ture on the threshhold of vice, without entangling their feet in the net of the ad versary. Have you never heard the story of a gentleman who advertised for a coach man I If not we will repeat it. Three ,applicants were admitted to his room. He pointed out to them a precipice, re marking, ' How near the edge of this can you drive me, without any danger of an upsetI' The first applicant replied, 'within a hair's breadth.' ' Howv near can you drive met' inqui red the gentleman of a second applicant. ' Within a hair's breadth,' he replied. As the third was about leaving the room. supposing he had no chance of competing with the other two, the gentle man stopped him. 'Let me hear, what you have to say,' said he. ' Why, sir, I cannot compete with, eith er of these-if I were to drive you, I would keep as far off' as.I possibly could. 'You are the man for me,' said the gen tleman, and he engaged him immediately. In regard to vice, he is only safe wvho keeps away from temptation. Those who venture near are often upset and destroy ed. We can point to individuals who are lost to virtue, who, when they took the first wrong step, resolved never to take another. It was the voice of a pretend ed friend, it may be, which urged them on only for once, but it proved their de struction. Ye who are nowv safe, whose hearts are unc~ontaminated, listen to the voice of wisdom, and go not where there are strong allurements to vice. Keep away from the gaming table, the grog shops and the midnight party. 'Keep as far off. as possible,' and a life of integrity and virtue will assuredly be yours. OmL ME.-We copy the following prett scrap from the last number of the Lady's Book wvhere it serves as an intro duction to some stanzas: A lady had two children; both girls. The older was a fair child ; the younger a beauty, and the mother's pet.-Her whole love centered in it. The elder was neglected, while 'sweet,' the pet name of the younger,.received every attention that affection could bestow.-One day, after a severe illness, the mother was sitting in the parlor, when she heard a childish step upon the stairs, and her thoughts were in stantly. with the favorite. "Is that you sweet I" she inquired. " No mamma," w-a the sad, touching reply, " it isn't sweet; it's only me.?" The mother's heart smote her; and from that hour, "onfy me"i'was restored to an equal place in her affectioni. A Bachelor4 Reverie. "Another button off my shirt, this fros ty morning, and these pants, with a sift at the pockets, and wanting to be slightly turned at the.bottom, I wonder what it would cost to support a wife? How handy she would be, to do odd jobs; that old seamtress I employ, is always enga ged, and forever has the same tune, Mr. Lightfoot, you must wait; these bache lors like yourself ought to get married;" and she ends with the poser, " but gals aint good for nothing in those days." "I do wish I knew what was for the best. If I could get a- wife who would fill her station like Lockharts', I shbuld be willing to go head and ears into the connubial state-but there are no such women now; and who wants a simpering, tittering girl, with a flaring bonnet, dres sed like a doll, and only fit to walk out and show herself. I wonder how Brigg's sister would do? Or the Guy's? They seem like the right sort-old Madam Briggs is a charming woman herself. Bless me, how my mouth waters for those fritters I ate there the other night; but when I asked Abigail how they were made, she turned up her nose and replied, " I don't trouble the kitchen, Hr. Lightfoot !" evidently feel ing it would be disgraceful to know how to work; well--she cut her own fingers by the means. I don't want to hear her. warble and thrill, and turn her eyes up. wards and scream like a magpie, when I know she is good for nothing else. A bachelor don't live on music. Well, there is Sally Guy can darn a stocking. r ling, and ele-...t. cess eles according to a has put them t6gether, and'bea A them, as soon as they sit down, the moth er says, 'well, Sally dear, you have had excellent luck with your cake-or your pastry is as light as a bun;' but Mrs. Frost says there is so much deception in these people, she never will tell them anything is good. I believe I've had deuced poor luck with women-once I used,to spend my Sunday evenings at Fry's and Pauline was a smart girl; but la me, she wanted a man covered with hair-he must have a shoebrush under his chin, and huge whiskers, and a vile mustache, because it gave one a 'foreign appearance;' and such sentiments turned my head against her. I don't wonder people fail who marry now-a-days. How can a poor profes sional man, or a fellow with all his means in his stock in trade, afford to live at the rate of two thousand a year I and they tell me this sum is considered cheap, in cluding dress and other minutas. It wont do for me any how-my five dollar bills are too'scarce ; and then others say, Mr. Lightfoot marry' a girl who has money. I've seen how this works-to be told every time a woman gets irritated, I bought them things, or I own this house, wvould never do for one of my tempera ment. And then these rich old fathers are often a horrible bore, pimping into one's business, and making wills with life leases, or putting in trust for my daugh ter's benefit, as if the husband wvere a per fect non compos mentis. I've drafted enough such instruments for other peo ple ; don't think I shall trouble any body to do a like service on my account. If I should marry a young girl, she will want to go to a concert every night in the week, or a fancy ball, or a tableaux party. It is the rarest thing in the world to see a man of age seated in an arm chair taking comfort at home a long eve ning. The new wife always, says "hus band, don't you want to see the new play? or go to hear the divine songstress, or the fashionable singer, wvho has just arri ved I" and if I should say as I felt, "no, hang the folderol plays and songs," ten chances to one thme little beauty would pout, or cry, or tell ma' that Mr. Light foot is a real old bachelor still, and then such a curtain lecture would follow. I'm better off as I am-now I can scold my landlady, tease her daughters, show at tention to the girls, and get invited every where, and most of the folks like me, and who knows how often they remind the girls if they could catch such a man as Lightfoot, they would not object to their marrying. So Ma'am Dodge you must do my repairing a little longer." A QUEsTIoN~ for the Spike Society, " would the devil beat his wife if he had one !-Yankee Blade.

The landlord stood.aghast as tho Irishman rushed into the bar-room, with nothing on etween him and - nudity but a garment ulgarly styled a shirt, the hair on his ead standing upon end, his eye-balls ready to leap frora the- sockets, and he gasping for breath. It was a sight that would have made a man- laugh who had worn a vinegar face-from the day of his Airth. Nothing could induce him to seek bed that night again. When the young lady and gentleman found it was not the sorpse that had so.unceremoniously boun led from the bed, they returned to the room, (they being the. watchers for the might,) and, doubtless, commenced their :ourting at the point-where it was so sud lenly broken off'. ALdyice to thMouzng. This admonition I particularly direct to those who are in a period of life too of ten characterised by forward presumption ad headlong pursuit. The self-conceit f the young, is a great source of those langers to whieb they are exposed ; and it is peculiarly unfortunate, that the age which stands most in need of the coun sel of the wise,'-should'hbe most prone to ontemn it. Confident-in the opinions which they adopt, and in the mensures which they pursue, they-seem as if they understood Solomon to say, not, Who knowveth? but, Who is ignorant of what is good for man all the days of his lifei The bliss to be aimed at, is, in theiropin ion, fully apparent. It is not the danger f mistake, but the failure of success, which they dread. Activity to seize, not sagacity to discern, is thie only requisite which they value.

WE'know several individuals, not a hnndred miles off, who tell admirable jokes in admirable style; but are unfor. tunately addicted to repeating them on any and, every occasion, without proper consideration as to their applicability to the immediate subject of conversation. It frequently amounts to an absolute digres sion, and they are sometimes reduced to the awhard predicament of having to ex plain the point of analogy after the laugh ing part has been passed. Even then it is but dimly perceived. A good joke, that it may continue to be a good joke, should come "like angels' visits," at long inter tervals, and should always be an cxact "case in point." The following extract administers to humourists some whole some advice. - A story-teller is the most agreeable, or the most disagreeable character we can meet with. A story, which is designed to entertain a polite company, should al ways be short, and, with a mixture of -wit and humour, be told in good language. King Charles II., who had most excellent parts, had likewise a most agreeable man ner of telling his stories. And Sheffield, Duke of Buckinham, informs us, that the same story which he had heard from the king five or iix times, he always heard with pleasure, as it was always embell ished with some new circumstances. This was a happy talent, owing to a- quick fancy and:a lively 'imagihttion :for a-fre quent repetitieonof the::samuetale.to-the sameppersons,:wdgh-at flattwiujry 5n00 tertinningi becomes at length insipp4;and ridienlous. and is ant fn Ie f led. in- the State.of. Arkansas, .you must have remarked the- women are not of the ordinary stamp in regard to personal cour age and spirit. Their very natures seem imbued with. the greatness' and the pride of the created things that God has placed around them. When I first went there, I was made acquainted with as fine a speci men of women-of Arkansas women-as you ever saw. I came, I saw, I loved her, and once thought I had " conquered" her. My visits were frequent to her, and generally up to a pretty late hour of the night. Her mother-as fine a lady as you could wish, but rather large in di mensions-slept in an adjoining room, the evening to which I wish to refer (espe cially.) Log cabins are not closely built, and sounds can be easily distinguished from one room to another. Betty, for that was the name of my sweetheart, had reciprocated my ideas on certain points, to my content, and I had resolved to start home. Taking out my watch, I expressed surprise, (as I always did,) at the lateness of the hour. She said she. knew it must be late from the sounds. "Sounds ?" said I, listening attentive ly, but hearing nothing that interpreted her meaning. "Sounds, I don't hear any." Again I listened, but without sue cess. " Why, Mark," said she, "don't you hear, Ma snore?" and her face colored 'twixt anger and pride, at what she deem ed my jesting. "Is that your mother snoring?" ex claimed I in utter astonishment. " I swear I have been all this time thinking it wns the puffs from an up river boat, and wondered what the deuce made it so long coiming round the bend! Your mother!1" I was going to say more, but I didn't stranger, for as true as gospel, there was Bet making right at me, wvith her fist ready for the attack. I ain't no coward, but I cannot fight women, so I continently sloped. I never have forgot ten Betty, and I love her yet, but I darsn't go nigh her since that unfortunate night. EDUoATE YOUR DAUGHTERs.-WhenI I lived among the Choctaw Indians I held a consultation with one of their principle chiefs respe~eting the successive stages of their progress in the arts and virtues of civilized life; among others things, he informed me at their first start they fell into a great mistake-they only sent their boys to school. They became intelligent men, but they miarried unedu cated' and uncivilized wives; and the niform result wvas, that the children all like the mother; and soon the father lost his interest in 'both wife and children. " And nowv," says he, "if we could edu cate only one class of our children, wve would choose the girls; for when they become mothers, th'ey would educate their sons." This is the point and it is true. No nation can become fully and permanently' eiilzed and 'nlightened, wheni the mothers are not, to a good de gree qualified to discharge tho duties of tie hornework of'ednada . ktaism. Ti Turks exemplify this, their cher ished doctrine, in all their habits and- ac tions. MAHOMET owed much of the in vincibility of his soldiers to his constant inculcation of the belief, that every nan had a day fixed by Allah upon which he must die, and that neither disease nor weapons of war could terminate that ex istence, until this appointed day had come. With his followers, this was ever an ac tive faith that led to practical results. There are Predestinarians of our day, who are sustained in many of the severe shocks of life, by a similar creed; and so far, it doubtless answers a happy purpose. When applied however to the every day concerns of men, its rationality becomeg very questionable. Witness its working in the following description of the be haviour of TuRxs AT A FINE. I was not long at Constantinople, (says De Vere in his Sketches of Travels,) be fore I came in for what is of frequent oc currence there, namely, a fire. : Indeed, I believe, that as a Ptorm is said to be al ways going on in some part of the sea, so a conflagration, larger or smaller is al ways raging, in some part of the narrow wooden streets of Stamboul. The peo ple have but vaw public amusements, and this is.considered one of the best, if I inay judze by the demeanor of the crowds whose singular bearing was to me more interesting than the spectacle I witnessed in common with them. At first. I knew not what it meant I had observed vast multitudes were; moving towards the court of one of their mosques, aq~dstaia themsy,--as, eopliw I, L~ihaeieautap ot earp'et pilows- ana cusnou,a h entwu already brought fro teb neghoriig houses. and placied wherever room could be found. On those comfortable seats, the multitude had established themselves the. men. on one, sedately smoking,t the women on another, now looking on and now playing with their childre.n. In a moment refreshmepts of all.4sprtos .were provided, sweat-meats, confectionery and sherbet, by a number. of rival purveyors who advanced with unalarmed' alacrity amid the smoke and. falling sparks plainly considering the scene of destruction,, a sort of benefit, got up for their espe cial behoof, and unceremoniously el bowing to one side the police, wvhorushed with pails of water in their hands, to the rescue of the burning houses. In a few moments more the flames burst out with a loud crash, mounting high into the heavens, and flinging an ex citing and pleasurable heat into the face of the crowds who without moving.: their pipes (epcept to drink) gazed with silent but impassioned interest on a scene, which, to them, was no more a matter of surprise, than a street preacher would have -been in Edinburg; a Fusjane at Rome, or Punchinelo at Naples. .Among the calm crowd of spectators were. the proprietors of the borning houses, smnok ing and drinking, like their neighbors, and wvell assured that their loss had been determined by Allah long before the pro phet was born. WE publish the following marriage no tice, as a curiosity, which we find in the Watab Reville.
