>g em.?An orator out west (by tho
\y, nil the lofty burets of eloquence
iwmo from out west, now-a-days,) in
Ijalommcnting on the 'dangerous character
JWof circumstantial evidence,' is said to have
TjjLflosed with the following gorgeous perpBration.
Shade of Cicero, hide your dijHr.inished
head!?
'If circuiu-tantinl evidence '"ere person
fitted, it should be the foKffof n beautiful
Iwornan. Her brow should be the brow
4 of il/inervn; her smile the smile of Venus;
"jier voice the voice of a syren. She
should be clad in the white robes Of innn.
cence, but on her Raiments should he
seen 'gouts of blood.' Ilcr stop should
be the conqueror's desolation; and in the
bnck ground, haunting her footsteps,
* should appear the shades of unquiet, per- I
^ turbed spirits, ranged in groups of twelve
^ representing the jurors who liad been led
astmy'by her knowing brow, hertreachtf
erons smile and yet more seductive voice.'
Enduring Affection.?The Picn
If vune says there was a man in New Orleans
thirty yenrs ago who wanted a
I' young lndy to marry liirn. He. got the
jV question so far out as to say?
'Madame will you'?
when his heart failed him, nnd he ran
away to France. A few days ago he
* back and said:
came?*oseri?'
'HaveYnlr^^said, 'Certainly.'

could not answer it himself, he paid a
forfeit. Pat's question wns: How the
.) litile ground squirrel digged his hole with
out showing any dirt at the entrance?
When they all gave up, Pat said, 'Sure,
Ido you see he begins at the other end of
the whole.' One of the rest exclaimed,
"But how does he get there?' 'Ah,'
said Pat, 'that's your question?can you
answar it yourself?'
A Good One.?A .Son of theKmendd
Isle lately had occasion to visit the city in
his vehicle, and having arrived ;n liis
point of destination, aligTited from it and
* proceeded to transact his business. On
returning to the place where he hud left
his horso and wagon, he was snrpi isod to
jjv learn from the Major that the horse had
run away with it.
"?S'ure, and did he break the rein?"?
4 inquired he of his informant.'
'Oh, no I believe not," was the reply.
"Well, thin, how in the name of St.

Didn't Like to Swear.?Down cast
somewhere a pious oid lady was summonr?d
as witness in an import .nt case. Having
lived in the backwoods all her days,
she was wholly unacquainted with the
rules of a court of justice. Beinir told
that she must "swear," the poor woman
was tiilflii wiil'i l-.r.rrfi-*
After much persuasion she yielded, and
being told to "hold up her right hand,"
she did so, exclaiming, "Well, if I must,
I must?damn/'* The court immediately
adjourned.
Two Irishmen happened to be travelling
together to York, and passed by a
gallows.
'Barney,' said one, 'where would you

Faith,' said Pat, 'I'd be walking to
York by myself, to be sure.'
'There is a great demand,' says a Yankee
pedler, 'for a species of pluster, which
will enable gentlemen to stick to their
business."
"Is them old fellows alive now?" said
an urchin to the teacher, "What old persons
do you mean, my dear ?" "Why,

A IVew Music Book in Patent
Notes.
BY DR. \VM: IIOUSER,
IS the greatest work of the kind ever offered
to the world. It contains 670 pages, and
and more than 700 tunes?Psalms and
Hymn Tunes, Odes and Anthems, Sun,
Temperance, Mora], and Patriotic pieces;
Seoth, Irisn, German, French and other
fine Foreign Tunes. Much new music
never before published; the noble old
tunes that thrilled the hearts of our fathers
and mothers in their youth, and one of
the plainest expositions of the principles
offmusic and of musical composition ever
published. It is specially suited to the
taste of the South and West, (the author
is a (southern man m birth and education,
and all his affinities) and is adapted to the
Day School for children, the Singing
School, the Church Choir of every denomination,
the Missionary and Temperance
Meeting, the proud gala-days of our Republic,
and the social party, where good
and noble should rule the hour.

f riusit i(nnrlcrly Reviews
Owing to the late revolutions nnd
counter-revolutions among the nations o
Europe,which have followed each other
in such quick succession, and of which
'tht cml is r.ot yet," the lending periodicals
of Great Britain have bccomc invested
with a degree of interest hitherto unknown.
They occupy a middle ground
between the hasty, disjointed, nnd necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers,
and the elaborate and ponderous
treatises to be furnished by ti.e historian

periodicalb obtnins n corrcct nnd connected
account of nil the important political
events of the old world, as they occur,
and learns the vaiious conclusions drawn
from them by the leading spirits of the
age. The American Publishers therefore
deem it proper to call renewed attention
to the works they republish and tho
very low prices at which they arc offered
to subscribers. The following is their
list, viz:

In these periodicals are contained the
views moderately, though clearly and
firmly expressed, of the three greaj parties
in England?Tory, Whig, and Radical?"Blackwood"
and the "London
Quarterly" are Tory ; the "Edinburgh
Review" "Whit?: and the "Wpsimitor''
Review" Liberal. The "North British
Review" owes its establishmerit to the
lust great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on
any one of the grand departments of human
knowledge; it was originally edited
by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since hia
death, is conducted by his son-in-law.
