ABOUT THOSE BOOTS.
"Who dares those pair of boots displace,
Must meet Bombastes face to face."
Recalling an old laugh the other day and
trying to remember what caused it, we bethought
ourselves ef an adventure that poor
B? (dead now) was very fond of relating
in years past. It occured on board the
'Lexington,' on one of her passages from
New York to Providence. The hero was a
Vermont lad of twenty-five, sharp enough
in a horse trade, but very verdant in everything
else*. who had just sold a string of nags
in New York, and was now working round
home via Providence and Boston. He 'turned
in' pretty early, and 'turned out again
about sunrise the next morning, with the
idea of 'going up stairs,' as he called it.?
Soon after he had put on his coat and hat,
the passengers were astonished by a hideous
outcry from Yaruiount.'
'What's the matter?' said a quizzical
looking gentleman in green glasses.
'Matter ??matter enough, I reckon !' said
Yankee. Here's some onrighteous individual
has gone and stole my bran new butes;
cost me twenty-two York shillin's; and left
me these ere slippers, made out o' jailer dog
skin, not worth a darn ?'
'Hush!' said the man with green glasses;
'don't speak so loud. It's a common occurrence?on
board this boat. Some of the
niggers must have done it. Did you never
notice that all the steamboat niggers go
well shod ?'
'Wall I have, old boss !?and that accounts
for it, hey ? Speak !?speak out.'?
T- 1 * 1*-- !i 1 9>
It does account ior 11, uey :
'Hush ! Yes?it does.'
. , 'Wall, I'll holler 'cap'D., and get the
boat stopped till I find my butes?cost
me twenty-two shillins,' York?I will, by
gravy ?'
'No, no ! don't make a row. If you do,
the thiefll throw 'em overboard. No, no !
you watch the niggers, and when you find
the.delinquent, take him to the captain's office
aud make him settle.
'I'll settle him ! I ain't goin' to throw
away a pair of twenty-two shillin' butes, no
how.'
It afforded much amusement to the man
iu. green glasses and his cronies to see the
... Yankee shuffling and scuffling about the
cabin in yellow slippers, dogging ever)'
darkey and examining his feet. After a
weary search, he came to his tormentor, and
said :
'I'm going up stairs to pirate around there,
and see if I can trail 'em.'
So up he went and the cabin passengers
could hear his heavy tread, and scuff of his
slippers all over the deck. By and by he
came down again, just as a shiny African,
with a pair of polished boots in his hand,
went towards 93, the Yankee's birth. Just
as he was drawiue aside the curtain, to peep
in, 'Yarmount,' lit on him like a fierce cat,
seizing hirn by the scruff of the neck, and
yelling:
'I've cotched you, you double distilled escence
of Day and Mantin boiled down to
the spirit of darkness, and mixed up with
the hypersulphate of rascality ! After uiy
wallet, you ? Come along with me !
'Lem me ?ro, said the indignant darkey,
struggling to get free from the iron grasp of
his antagonist.
'Not as you knows on, you, rambunctious
old wool grower !' said the indignant Yankee.
'I've handled severer colts than you
be.' And he dragged the terrified black up
the cabin stairs, followed at a safe distance
by the geutleman in green glasses and his
companions.
Bringing the culprit before the Captain, he
told his story, and agreed to abide by his decision.
Of course an explanation followed,
with a verdict for the defendant, and the
plaintiff sentenced to pay nine-pence to the
injured African.
'Sold, by maple !' said Yarmount. Here,
nigger, here's a quarter, and give tne the
boots; but if I can kitch that chap in the
green goggles, pickle me, if I don't heave
him into the Sound !'
It is needless to say that while the boots
were only half on, the gentleman in green
glasses disappeared, and was the first man
to make himself scarce when the boat touched
the wharf of Providence.
"Wonderful Instance of Sagacity in
a Doo.?We take the following from the
Triuity (California) Times It records one
of the most remarkable instauces we have
ever heard of canine sagacity :
"William Dredge lives about five miles
from town, at the base of the mountains
which tower North of us. A short time
after midnight on the morning of Wednesday
last, he was aroused from his slumbers
by the howl of a dog. No rneuaec on his
part could rid him of the presence of the
strange intruder. The dog continued to
walk around the cabin, still repeating his
dismal moaning and howling, occasionally
making efforts to effect an entrance through
the closed doorway. Surprised and somewhat
alarmed at this singular demonstration,
Mr. Dredge at last hastily dressed himself
and unbolted the door, when a large mastiff
rushed in. The dog at oucc caught hold of
his trousers, and employed every gentle
means to induce the man to accompany
him outside. Dredge's first impression was
was that the animal was mad, and yet so
peculiar and earnest were the dumb entreaties
that he finally yielded and proceeded
without the cabin. A joyful yell was the
result, and the delighted brute, now capering
and wagging his tail before him, am>
now returning and gently seizing him by the
hand and trousers, induced Dredge to follow
him.
"Their course was up to the precipitous
side of the mountain, and soon they were
forcing their way through a snow-drift that
had settled in one of its numerous fissures.
Here comes the wonder. Upon the snow
lay the body of a woman, who had evidently
perished from cold and exhaustion. Her
limbs were already stiffened in death; but
- P A f ? T\ J
what was tne surprise 01 .ur. i/reuue iu see
that faithful dog ferret out from a bundle of
clothing that lay by the side of the woman
a young child, about two years of age, still
warm and living. A little inspection, aided
by the starlight and the brightness of the
snow, enabled him to discover, that the person
of the woman was nearly naked. With
a mother's affeetion, she had stripped her
own person, in order to furnish warmth to
her exposed infant. The dog had completed
her work of self sacrifice.
"Mr. Dredge immediately couveyed the
child to his cabin, and, arousiug some of his
neighbors, proceeded again to the mountain
to secure from the attack of wild beasts the
person of the unfortunate woman. Her body
was buried the next day. The child and
dog have been adopted by this good Samaritan
; but as yet he has been unable to obtain
any light as to the name of the woman, or
how she happened to stray on the dismal
mountain side at such an unfortunate hour.
The child is doing well, and is truly a handsome
boy."
Unanimously Returned.?The extra
Congressional election for the 24th District
is over, and Preston S. Brooks is of course
unanimouslv returned to the seat he latelv
occupied in the Federal House of Representatives.
We are unable to say what has
been the strength of his vote among the
the people at large. At this place the turnout
was very full considering that the elec-1
tion came of!" in such hot weather and at so
quiet a time. But whatever may be the
strength of his vote, it is perfectly certain
that his whole constituency sympathise with
and applaud his spirited course of conduct, j
They not only believe that the castigation
of Chas. Sumner was entirely justifiable but j
they take pride in pointing to their own gal- (
lant representative as the man who inflicted j
it. It is not a mere cold endorsement on |
their part, but an active, warm, demonstra-1
tive approval. We have ourselves heard '
huudrcds of his constituents speak of the '
whole affair with the quivering lip and flash- j
ing eyes of a most cordial sympathy. Xot j
one have wc seen, who ever seemed to think
it wrong. For Edgefield especially, we speak
with emphasis. She says to her member?
"Well done good and faithful servant;"
If necessary she would add?"Hit 'em again."
And she wishes it to go out to our j
enemies at the Xorth, in a manner palpable
and unmistakeable, that her noble son is
more cherished than ever for the righteous !
blows ho has so resolutel laid on in defencev 1
of South .Carolina's fame and Senator Butler's
honor. She approves, she applauds; j
and now she exults in returning her repre- i
sentative immediately and unanimously to '
to the Congress in which he has stood forth I
before the country as a true gentleman and i
a high-souled patriot.?Edr/efic/d Adverti-1

Getting rp tx tiie Morning.?The!
hour we get up in the morning very much
depends on the hour we went to bed the night |
before. It is pretty evident that nature made i
a mistake when she calculated the sun's going
down, or else some of the present genei
ration are sadly in faultabout. retiring to rest,
and no less so in regard to getting up.? ;
What a waste of beauty, what a waste of1
music, happiness and health, to sleep out the I
morning hours? Header, did you ever live ,
in the couutry, and in the month of June |
j get up about half-past three o'clock in the;
! morning? There is no other hour like that |
! in the whole twenty-four; 'tis full of in '
| cense, full of music, full of heaven, full of j
i inspiration. We should think, if ever angels J
i came to earth, they would come then ; and |
; we fancy they do, for the air is full of fra- j
grance, every grove has its orchestra ; and
such pieces as they play, too! Not an in-i
! strument is out of tune, not a note out of
time. Such pieces! No Mozart, no Bectho-'
: ven could play them !
| Every leaf, and twig, and flower, sparkles j
1 with dbw ! We fancy there has been a hailstorm
of diamonds! Talk of the splendors j
of royalty! The pomp of wealth and the !
! glitter of gold ! Did you ever see and real- j
! ize a June morning ? Then you will know
better what estimate to put upon a jeweller's
shop ! Did you ever get one breath of air
j into your lungs from such an 'iiieensc-breathi
ing morn ?' If you did, you felt an inspij
ration more of heaven than of earth. A- j
i wake, 0 sleeper! Such scenes occur nearly j
J every day, and you lose the sight. You burn i
i your life out with gas, and sleep it out by I
| sunlight, thus shortening it at both ends; j
I wake up with a dull, heavy headache, bitter
j dried-up mouth, and trembling limbs. The .
I late hours, late suppers, late going to bed, i
i and late getting up, arc enough to make a '
I man late all his life time, and lie may think
I himself well off if he is uot late at heaven's
' !
j door. Mothers should not try to make their
I children sleep in the morning. Give them
I very little supper and put them to bed early.
I They will be enough better natured through
! the day to pay for it, so that in the end you
will do just as much work as if they slept in
! the morning.

HOW TO BE MISERABLE.
Sit at the window and look over the way
! to your neighbor's excellent mansion, which j
' he has recently built and paid for, and sigh
out, "Oh that I was a rich man J" Get
i angry with your neighbor, and think you !
! have not got a friend in the world. Shed a j
' tear or two, take a walk in the burial ground, '
continually saying to yourself, "When shall
I be buried here?" Sign a note for your
I friend, and never forget your kindness; and !
; every hour in the day whisper to yourself,
: "1 wonder if he will pay that note." Think
; everybody means to cheat you. Closely ex:
amine every bill you take, and doubts its j
being genuiue, till you have put the owner

shilling passed to }*ou is a .sixpence crossed,
and express your doubts about getting rid
of it, if you should take it. Put confidence !
in nobody and believe every man you trade
with to be a rogue. Never accommodate, j
if you.can possibly help it. Never visit the '
| sick or afflicted, aud never give a farthing
J to the poor. Buy as cheap as you can, and
screw down to the lowest mill, (irind the ;
faces and the hearts of the unfortunate.?
j Brood over your misfortune?your lack of
talents, and believe at 110 diotant day 3'uu
will come to want. Let the workhouse be
: ever iu your mind, with all the horrors of
I distress and poverty. Then you will be
'miserable to your heart's contents, (if we
' may so speak, ) sick at heart and at variance
! with all the world. Nothing will cheer or
! encourage you; nothing will throw a gleam
of sunshine or a ray of warmth into your
! heart. All will be as dark and cheerless as
the crave.

DENNIS AND THE P. MASTER.
"Hillo! Mister Postmaster, and is there
iver a letther here for Dennis O'Callahan ?"
inquired the identical Dennis himself as he
| rode up to the door of a certain post office in
! Ohio.
j "T believe there is," replied the postmas
! ter, stopping back and producing tne letter
at the floor.
"And you will be so kind as to rade it
for me, seein' I had the misfortun' to be edicated
to rade niver a bit in the world?"
humbly asked Dennis.
"To be sure, sir," said the accommoda- 1
ting postmaster.
He opened the epistle and read, with a
good deal of difficulty, three interesting pages
concerning Dennis' folks and affairs in
old Ireland, the said Dennis with both legs
turned on the same side of the saddle, listened
all the while with bccomiug meekness 1
and gratitude.
"Much oblisred to yor honor, for troublin' .
yourself and t'onsumin' yer valyble time with ;
the like of me and mine; how much might .
be the postage of my letther ?" 1
"Fifty cents, sir." J
"A very reasonable price for such a com- i
fortin letther; but as I could niver think of 1
axin' yer worship to credit the like of me,
ye may jist jist keep the letther for pay." (
A Young Man's Character.?Xoyoung ]
man who has a just sense of his own value !
will sport with his own character. A watch- (
ful regard to his character in early youth will ]
be of inconceivable value to him in all the <
remaining yeais of his life. When tempt- ]
ed to deviate froni strict propriety of deport- j
merit he should ask himself, "Can I afford j i
this ?" I <
It is of amazing worth to a young man to (
have a pure mind ; for this is the foundation
of a pure character. The mind, in order to ]
he kept pure, must be employed in topics
of thought which are themselves lovely,
chastened, and elevating. Thus the mind
hath in its own power the selection of its J
themes of meditation. If youth only knew
how durable and how disiuvl is the injury I
produced by the indulgence of degraded '
thoughts?if they only realized how fright- 1
ful were the moral depravities which a cher- t
ished habit of loose imagination produces 1
on the soul?they would shun them as the ,
bite of a serpent. The power of books to j i
excite the imagination is a fearful element !
of moral death when employed in the ser- ,
vice of vice/ i
The cultivation of an amiable, elevated, '
and glowing heart, alive to all the beauties i
of nature and all the sublimities of truth,
invigorates the intellect, gives to the will independence
of baser passions, and to the
affections that, power of adhesion to whatever
is pure, and good, and grand, which is
adapted to lead out the whole nature of man
into those scenes of action and impression
by which its energies may be most appropriately
employed, and by which its high destination
may be most effectually reached.
The opportunities of exciting these faculties
in benevolent and self-denying efforts '
for the welfare of our fellow men, are so !
many and great that it is reallv worth while
to live. The heart that is truly evangelically
benevolent, may luxuriate in an ago like
this. The promises of God are inexpressibly
rich, the main tendencies of things so manifestly
in accordance with them, the extent
of moral influence is so great, and the effects
of its employment so visible, that whoever
aspires after benevolent action and reaches j i

Novel Mode of Registoration.?We
copy the following from a document which
has just been handed us, (Northern Ensign,)
and which, we arc assured, contains a veritable
narrative of facts. There is an honest
'farmer man,' as the term is, in the parish
Wattcn, who had adopted a very original
and curious mode of registering the births of
1ms children. The blank leaf of the Bible,
as it ought to be', is the register; but instead '
of the birth being recorded, the event is
marked by a reference to some notable occurrence
or other that took place in the parish
on or about that time. lie records them '
in this manner :?
'Wir Betty was born on day the John
Cathel lost his gray marc in the moss.
'Jemniie was born the day they began
mending the reef o' the kirk.
'Sandy was born the day my mother broke j1
her leg and the day afore Ivitty gacd awa j
wi' the sodgcrs.
'The twins, Willie and Marget, was born j1
the day Sandy Bremncr biggit his new barn, j
aud the very day after the battle o' Water- i
loo.
'Kirtsy was born the night o' the great >
feebt on the Keedsmas in Barlan, atween
Peter Donaldson and a south-country drover. :
Forhyo, the factor raised the rent the same J
year. ; <
'Anny was born the night the kiln gacd j j
on tire, six years sync.
'David was born the night o' the great '
speat, and three days afore Jamie Miller had j1
a lift fac the fairies.' I [

The Shadows of Childhood.?Cod '

bright eyes, their happy faces, their winning j,
urn vs. tlir-ii* vosv droiiins ! Xnfhincseems to .
weigh down their buoyant spirits long; mis- ; t
fortunes may fall to their lot, hut the shad-,'
ows it east upon their life-p ;th are fleeting j
as the clouds that come and go in an April
shy. Their future may, perchance, appear
dark to others, but to their fearless gaze it i
looms up brillinut and beautiful as the walls '
of a fairy palace. There is no tear which a j1
mother's gentle hand cannot heal, no an- |
guish, which the sweet murmuring of her j
soft, low voice cannot soothe. The warm :
generon0 impulses of their nature have not
been fettered and cramped by the cold formalities
of the world, they have not yet!
learned to veil a hollow heart with false j
smiles, or hide the basest purposes beneath '
honeyed words. Neither are they constant- \ ]
. ly on the alert to search out our faults and |
i foibles with Argus eyes; on the contrary, ;
' they exercise that blessed charity which '
! -'thinkcth no evil." * ; |
Tut: Tahlk Tukxkd.?Some time since,1
on one of the North River boats, a lady who
had attracted much attention for the niascu-1
line turn of Iter manners and conversation j
| was seated at the table opposite a gentleman i
who in taking some butter, in the abseuecof
the usual knife, used his own, which the i
lady observing, called aloud to the waiter:
"Wait-ta ! bring another plate of butter;
1 that man (pointing to the gentleman) had his i
| knife in this!"
The unfortunate wight almost sunk under
j the curious gaze of all the coinpauy, but said
G
v
nothing, determined to watch his opportunity
to return, for the cruel mortification, change
in her own coin. He waited but a moment,
ere a plate of dried beef was handed to the
ladj*, who unceremoniously took some in her
fingers, and placed it upon her plate.
"Wait-ta," exclaimed the gentlemen in
turn, "bring another plate of beef, this iroman
has had her fingers in this !"
A most ungallant roar from all the company
fairly turned the tables against the lady,
and she had the good sense to acknowledge
its desert, and join heartily in the mirth it
created.

For more than three years the inventor jot tift" .
above Press has beeu improving it, worWpgrit all
the while, and ascertaining, with great carcnndexpense,
the best mode of carrying out all the details
?and he flatters himself he has succeeded in perfecting
