" - ' ' aiouo of the Mass. I've scan enough of life, although Kot yet beyond my prime ; With nun of ait sorta-high and low Z'v?> mingled in my time. -When bat a boy it earn* to pass That, thrown upon th? town, I found th? motto of the a&aa Was " Kiah' him when he's down." And every jaar ?inoe than hath given Froth proof of thia decree ; Bat, whether made in bell er heaven, Th? doctora disagree. I <nly kcow the fact ia so, Aad, smile at it or frown, Th? ?rt of life seems in the strife, To kick whotvoi's down. Yt-ung Loon, la his twentieth year, Had friends-God wot ! a heap ; Tbeir frioudship may have been sincere It >urcly was not cheap.

Earth wara paradise, And heaven without a frown, Gould we uproot such social lies As " Kick him whoa he's down." A Tiresome Guest. " HE SITS AND WILL FOREVER SIT." There is belonging to the race of hu man bipeds, a sort of troublesome be ing, who, setting no \alue on their own time, care but very little how much, they trespass upon that of their moro indus trious neighbors. They are a sort ol stay-forever persons, who, having talked over the whole world at one sitting, com mence again and talk it over anew from beginning to ead, before they are ready to take their leave, lt a word, they sit and sit, and sit, long enough to fully jus tify the motto we have just quoted. Be side their disposition to hang on, there it generally about these persons a wonder ful habitude, a slowness in taking a hint, unparallel?d with the rest of the human race. To give a single instance of this sitting propensity, we will introduce the story of a plain spoken old lady : " I never seel the beat of that ere Cap tun Spinout," said she ; " would you be lieve it, he called at our house last night, just as I had doue milking, and wanted to-borrow my brass keetle for his wife to make apple sauce in. Oh yes, says 1, she may have it and welcome Captain Spinout ; and 1 went directly and fetched it out of the back room, and set it down beside bim. Well, presently our tea was ready, and I couldn't do no more than ax him to take tea with us. Oh no, bc said he couldn't stay a minute, but, however, he concluded he'd take a drink of cider with my husband ; and so he did. Well, after I'd done tea, I took my knitting work mid sot down 'till 1 rather thoughi it high time that ajl honest people should bo a bed. But Captain Spinout had for got his hurry and thar he was still seisin and talkin with my husband as fast as ever. I hate above all things td be rude, but I couldn't help hinein to the Captain that it was growin late, and may be his wife was waitin for the keetle. But he did not seem to take the hint at all-thar he sot, and sot, and sot. Finding that words wouldn't have any effect, I next rolled up my knitting work, sot back the cheers, and told the gals it was time to go to bed. But the Captain didn't mind it no more than if it had been the bite of a fte t-but thar he sot. and sot, and sot. ' Well, next. I pulled off my, shoes, roasted my fe?, as I commonly do just afore goin to bed ; but the Captain didn't mind it no more than nothin at all-thar he sut, and sot, and sot. I then kivered up thc fire, and tho't he couldn't help takm the hint ; but, la me ! he didn't take no notice on't at ail-not the least in the world-but thar he sot, and sot, and sot. Thinks I, you're pretty slow at taken a hint, Captain Spinout ; so I sed sort o' plainly, that I tho't it was bed timo speakin always to my husband-but jist so as I tho't the Captain could not heh tnkin it to himself-but Ia ! it did not do no good at all-for thar he sot, and sot, and SOL Seeing thar warn't no likelihood of his goin home, I axed him lo stay ali night. Oh no, he sed he couldn't stop a minute ; . so seein thar warn't no usc in savin any thing, I went to bed. But la me ! would you think it. when I got up in the mar ilin, as sure as you're alive, there was Captain Spinout sett in jist where 1 left him the night before-and thar, concluded the old lady, lifting up her hards in n despairing attitude-"and thar he sot. and sot." A NEW WAY or BBINO UNMARRIED.-A couple out in Oregon got tired of living together, aud concluded to unhitch. They untied the knot by mutually signing thc following document. We commend their example to Harris, Strong & Co., whose disgusting divorce trials have befouled the pages of so many newspapers : Know ali men by these presents, that I hereby give, grant, and bequeath unto my beloved husband, Proudhon St. Fe lix, a full and free divorce from the bonds of matrimony, granting and bequeathing unto him, my beloved husband, all the happiness he can get. Witness my hand and seal, this 8th day of Soptembcr, A. D. 1865. This divorce ia granted for a little rat-colored mule, which he gives lo me. [o. s. a. STAMP, 2c] her MART Sr. X FELIX, mark. A' Misc A LC ULA noy.-Last Sabbath evening a gentleman of thi? town had made arrangement? to spend the. evening with a friend, but on going home his wife insisted on his accompanying her to church, and taking with them their child, a boy of three years. Aa a matter of coerse he went, but was mach dissatisfied with the arrangement, and while on the way was busy, conceiving ways and means to dodge. At last he hit it. During the first prayer he would pinch the boy-the boy would squall, then, as a matter of course, he would be obliged to take him home, and then he would be free thc re mainder of the evening. It worked to a, c%rm,,with one trifling exception, Ho pluehMVfci?^ lad bawled'lustily, and hts progenitor started out hastily; but, unfortunately, just-as he Was' leaving tJiepsw .'AbLtoffcrft 4&rle?e&. i#_ a t??? -sufficiently-loud to be bear?-iaif-wayy jilli af ?r^t^oftiiMns, papa is : cuteness and satisfaction on the face of tho pincher, changed in an instant to one of painful sheepishness, and he subsided into his seat and braced himself for the coming sermon. A Caution te Young Alco. A young medical student from Michi fan, who had been attending lectures in lew York for some time, and considered himself very good-looking ' and fascina ting, made a deadly onset on the heart and fortune of a' young lady who was boarding m the same house with him. After a prolonged siege, the lady surren dered. They were married on Wednes day morning. The same afternoon tho M young wife" sent for and exhibited to the astonished student, a " beautiful little daoght?r," three and a half -years of age. " Good heavens ! then you were a wid ow." exclaimed thc astonised student. " Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia, my youngest; to-morrow, Augustus, James and Reuben will arrive from the country, itid then ? shall have all my children to gether once more." The unhappy student repm-d not a word ; his feelings were too deep for ut terance. The next-day the "darlings' trrived. Reuben was six years old, James nine, and Augustus a saucy boy . ?f twelve. They were delighted to hear that they had a "new papa," becnus-i they could now live at home and have all tit", playthings they wanted ! The "new papa." AS eoon as. he could speak, remarked that Augustus and James did nut much re semble Reuben aud Amelia. " Well, no," said tho happy mother ; "my first husband w.ts quite a different style of man from my second-complex ion, temperament, color of hair and eyes -all different." This was r.oo much. He had not only married a widow, but was her third hus band, and the astonished step-father of four children. "Cut her fortune," thought he, "that will make amends." Ile spoke of her fortune. " These are my treasures," says she in the Roman matron style, pointing to her children. The conceit was now quite taken out of the Michigander, who, finding that he had made a complete goose of himself, at once retired to a farm in his native State, where he could have a chance to render his " boys" useful, and make them sweat rbr the decdt practiced upon him by their mother.-Springfield Republican. A GOOD HIT.-Charles Lamb used to relate with great glee, that his theological investigations were exhausted in devising A scheme for equalizing punishment after death. This he proposed to do by having a special hell fur Scotchmen, in which the brimatone should be left ont, thereby con signing them iu s dousJc sense to the " old ^cratch." Some chap out West has, however, im proved upon Lamb's conceit, and narrates the following story, somewhat at thc ex pense of Thad. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, fie says he dreamed that he once made a visit to inferno, and whiie engaged in conversation with the proprietor, an imp announced that the Pennsylvania radical A-as at tho door seeking admittance. 0:d .Vick promptly and emphatically refused nim entrance, on ihft ground that he would be continually disturbing the peace ?md order of the place. Tho imp soon returned, saying that Thad, insisted on coming in, declaring that he had no other place to go to. After considerable anxious reflection, Old Nick's face suddenly brightened as with a new idea, and he exclaimed, "I've got it ! Tell the janitor to give him six bushels of brimstone and a box of matches and let lum go and start a little hell of his own. I can't have him here." ---?<-?- ? THE UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL,-A jew eller, who shall bo nameless, applied to a nice looking man to make a gold ring for him, having in it a blade very delicate aid keen, concealed except on a narrow ! scrutiny, and opening with a spring. The bargain was made to furnish it for thirty dollars. On the appointed day the pur chaser appeared, paid thc stipulated price, which was fobbed very complacently, and with an air of satisfaction put it on his finger. The jeweller of course very in nocently asked what he wanted to do with such an article, to which thc reply was to cut open pockets with. " Ah," replied the jeweller, doubtless in amazement, "-how can you do such things with such an instrument and not be detected ?" The performer replied that his art con ; sistcd in diverting thc attention of people from everything that looked like design upon tltem ; that he rubbed his forehead, adjusted his hat, &c, and that discovery came too late. He then bade him got d morning and weut his way. Shortly ? after, the jeweller, ns he walked round tho counter, was accosted by the clerk : "What is the matter with your panta loons? How came you to tear them so?" " Nothing that I know of," was the an swer. "\Vhere.?:5 "Why, just look!" When lb ! his pocket was fuund to be cut by the artist, with his new instrument, and his pocket-book gone, with not only the thirty dollars just paid, but four hun dred besides. Verdict of the public: Served him right i COUKTBV SCHOOL.-" First class in philosophy-step out-close your books, John Jones, how many kingdoms in na ture ?" " Four, the animal, vegetable, mineral and kingdom come." " Good-go up head." "Hobbs, what is meant by the animal kingdom ?" "Lions, tigers elephant?, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, alligators, monkeys, jack asses, hack-drivers, and schoolmasters." " Very well-hui you'll take rrlickiu for your last remark."

One of these numbera he devotes to fortune-hunting, and amongst other illustrations gives the case of a Mr. Mcwins. He was courting a young lady of some attractions, and something of a fortune into the bargain. After a liberal arrangement had been made for the young lady by her father, Mr. Mcwins having taken a particular fancy to a little brown mare, demanded that it should be thrown into the bargain ; and upon a positive refusal, the match was broken off. After a couple of years, the parties accidently*ii..,t ata country ball; Mr. Mewins was quite willing to renew the ergag-.Tiient; the lady appeared not to have the slightest recollection of him. "Surely you have not forgotten me," said he. "What name, sir?" she in quired. "Mewins," he replied ; " I had the honor of paying my addresses to you, about two years ngo.ft " I remember a person of that name," she rejoined, "who paid his addresses to my father's brown marc." Bill Arp, in a postscript lo one of his letters says: " I'm gitting to be highly loyal, I know I am ; for a fellow tried to sell mc a little nigger to day and I would eiit buy him. I heard of a bill that's comin up to bind out thc niggers for 99 years, and I'm agin it. Darned if I'll vote for more than 50. You can tell Thad. Stephens of theso hopeful signs." B. A.
