Thorn. , CERTAINLY A PREDICAMENT. t A few nights since, a tall, ecentric per- ^ sonage was observed, by the tenants of the cabin of one of the Albany boats, to perform 1 snndry strange evolutions, garnished by a a variety of hops, skips, and jumps which t betokened anything but a same mind irJ the c performer. The movements of this person- t age betrayed trouble and pain, and they I were at last so perfectly distressing to the c beholders that a consultation was held and a ] committee of three appointed to inquire into r the cause of the stranger's unaccountable i movements. With a due caution the depu- t ties approached their man, while the others ] gathered around within ear shot to witness | whatever "tale" might be "unfolded." The t stated their reasons for troubling 11 him with what might be deemed impertinent interrogatorcs and concluded their remarks re- j ? questing to know the reason of his apparent | perplexity, and whether or not they could . render him any aid. ! v "Wall," said the stranger, who was a | c Yankee, and who spoke in the most solemn | r accent, while his face evidenced a deal of ! s pent up sorrow, "Wall I don't know but, 1 you might help a feller a little. % I'm in a j heap of pain bothered like sixty ! I'm in a j t predicament." The ear of the entire party were distended, | and mouths preceptibly parted to wonder ! c width. j f "In a predicament," said one of the trio, ; "pray what is it. We feel desirous of alio-11 viating any misfortune that may have befal- j r len you." j t "That's clev. said the Yankee. i "Wall, may uo none of you was ever kick- | ed by a hoss ?"

The cabin was cleared in about the space ' of a minute. r How many of us are occasionally caught in public with au itching sole, and cannot "get at it to scratch." jj Words and grammar seem to be very ^ variable affairs. The "Christian Inquirer" says :?"Tl^c word 'fast' is as great a contradiction as we have in the language. The ^ North River is fast when the ice is immovable, and then the ice disappeared very fast, ^ for it was loose. A clock isjcalled fast when . it is quicker than time; but a man is told ^ to stand fast when he is desired to remain stationary. People fast when they have nothing to eat, and eat fast, consequently, j when opportunity offers." p And, while we are quoting from religious p . authority, let us give a specimen of the grammar in which the "Rev. M. Smithson," (a g travelling Western preacher.) described the departure of a saint:? "When I arrove at the house of my dis- p rased friend, he was perspiring his lust. I v stood by his bed-side, and said, as he was t too far gone to talk, 'Brother, if you feel h happy now, fist squeeze my hand,' he squoze v it."

"The Chinese booksellers have an odd I way of selling their volumes. They are dis- c posed of not according to their value, at a s fixed price, but according to weight! If, on weighing them, they are too light, the seller coolly tears some leaves from another ' book, throws them into the scale." [ The N. Y.

There is nothing which should be more j frequently impressed upon the minds of i young men than the importance of steadily j ' pursuing one business. The frequent chan- j j jring from one employment to another is one j of the most common errors committed, and | to it may be traced more than half the fail; ures of men in business and much of the dis| content and disappointment that render life : uncomfortable. It is a very common thing i for a mau to be dissatisfied with his business, j and to desire to change it for some other, and I what seems to him will prove a more lucra| tive employment; but in niue cases out of i ten it is a mistake. Look round you, and i j you will find among your acquaintances a'! bundant verification of our assertion. Here is a young man who commenced life as a mechanic, but from some cause imagined that he ought to have been a doctor; and, after a hasty and shallow preparation, has taken up the saddle bags enly to find that work is still work, aud that his patients are no more profitable than his work-bench, and the occupation not a whit more agreeable. ! Here are two young men, clerks; one of J them is content, when his first term of ser; vice is over, to continue a clerk until he J shall have saved enough to commence business on his own account; the other cannot wait, but starts without capital, and within a limited experience, and brings up, after a few years, in a court of insolvency, while his former comrade, by patient perseverance, eotnes out at last with a fortune. That j ! young lawyer who became disheartened be- | ; cause briefs and cases did not crowd upon J ! him while he wis yet redolent of calf-bound j j volumes, and hail small use for red tape, who j | concluded he had mistaken his calling, and ! ! so plunged into politics, finally settled dowu j j into the character of a meddling pettifogger, | I scrambling for his daily bread. There is au honest farmer who has toiled j a few years, got his farm paid for, but does ; not grow rich very rapidly, as much for lack of contentment mingled with his industry as anything, though he is not aware of it?he hears the wonderful stories of California, j and how fortunes may be had for the trouble j of picking them up; mortgages his farm to i raise money, goes away to the land of gold, and. after many months of hard toil, comes home to commmeucc again at the bottom of I the hill for a more weary and less Eucfess- j ful climbing up again. i >1.-1- il TrVir. ! 4UUI& I lie lliUU 111 Cltl J VUIUUIUUIIJ II uu | arc notorious for ability, aud equally notorious for never getting aheaJ, aud you will usually find them to be those who never I slick to any one business long, but are always I forsaking their occupation just wheu it be i gins to be profitable. Young u?an, stick to your business. Tt; may be you have mistaken your calling. If i so, tiud it out 's quick as possible, and change it; but don't let any uneasy desire to get aloug fast, or a dislike of your honest calling, lead you to abandon it. Ilavc some j honest calling, and then stick to it; if you are sticking type, stick away at them; if you j arc selling oysters, keep on selling them; if yuu arc at law, hold fast to that profession; pursue the business you have chosen; persistently, industriously, and hopefully, and if there is anything of yoU, it will appear and turn to account in that as well or better, than in any other calling; only, if you are a loafer, forsake that line of life as quickly as possible, for the longer you stick to it, the worse it will "stick" to you.?Hunt's Merch a n fs Mmjaz. in c. What a Pooh Man's Wife ought to j be.?The majority of our young women, indeed, enter the married state wholly unfit to I discharge the important and responsible j functions of their new office. The consequence is, that we find them at open warwith 1 their husbands before they have been mar- j i | ried a month. The art of making home hap- j I py is uot understood by them.

WHO IS A GENTLEMAN? A gentleman is not merely a person acquainted with certain forms and etiquettes of life, easy and self-possessed in society, : able to speak and act, and move in the world without awkwardness, and free from habits j w'iich arc vulgar and in bad taste. A gen-1 tleman is something much beyond this all; j that which lies ac the root of all his ease I and refinement and fact, and power of pleas ing, is the same spirit which lies at the root ; of every christian virtue. It is the thought- ! ful desire of doing in every instance as he 1 w* : is constantly thinking, not indeed how he may give pleasure to others, or the mere | sense of pleasing, but how he can show re- j spcct for others?how he may avoid hurting ; their feelings. When he is in sooiety, he scrupulously ascertains the positiou and relation of every one with whom he is brought in contact, that he may give to eutch his due honor, his proper position, lie studies how he may avoid touching in conversation upon any subject which may needlessly hurt their feeiings, how he may abstain from any allusion which may call up a disagreeable or offensive association. A gentleman never alludes to, never even appears conscious of any pcrsoual defect, bodily deformity, inferiority of talent, of rank, of reputation, in the person in whose society he is placed. He never assumes any superiority for himself, he never ridicules, never sneers, never boasts, never makes a display of his own power, or rank, or advantage?such as is implied in ridicule, or scrcasm, or abuse?as he never indulges in habits or tricks, or inclinations, which may be offensive to others.?Life 111 astro.- j tc.d. .. - ?# #? Mr. Buchanan Avowing the Objects ; of ins Administration.?Mr. Buchanan i was visited a few days since at his home at \ Wheatland by the students of Franklin and ' Marshall College. In reply to an address j made to him, Mr. Buchanan, after offering j the young men some very good advice, said : "Ho had been elected to the high and responsible office of President, and he thanked j them most sincerely for their congratulations; | but whether the event would prove to be a I matter of congratulation time alone can do- j termine. Without saying which party was j wright or which was wrong, the fears of the ! 'father of his country' had at last been reali- j zed, and now we behold a sectional party:? I one portion of our Union arrayed in politi- j cal hostility against the other. The object of his administration would be to destroy any sectional party?North or South?nnd I harmonize all sections of the Union under a ! national and eonse:vative government, as it was fifty years ago, Unless this be done the time may come when these sectional animosities which now unhappily exist may break up the fairest aud most perfect form of government the sun ever shoDe upon Put he trusted that the same Power which had watched over and preserved us in the past, will continue to smile upon us, and make us a prosperous, united, and happy people. In conclusion, he said, that if he could in any degree be the honored instrument of allaying this sectional excitement and restoring the government to the principles and policy of the fathers, he would then feel that he had not assumed the arduous duties of the office in vain." A Man Whipped to Life.?An iutcmperate man, named Stanley, attempted to commit suicide at Newark, New Jcrsoy, ou Sunday, by taking a large dose of laudanum, which rendered him insensible. The Newark Advertiser says : A physician was called, who decided that the only means of restoring animatiou was to give the subject a severe beating, which was done by two men with heavy switches for a quarter of an hour, when signs of a returning animation were shown, and the patient sat up. A glass of brandy was theu given him, when he fell to sleep, and the beating process was resumed until he was fully restored to consciousness. lie is now comparatively well, except some suffering from the bruises received from the extraordinary "course of sprouts" to which he was subjected. This is thejirst ease we ever 1 w*?i vrl t\{' rrhnm a mori too a xirlnnnnrl f A 1! "*""v " ~ ?? from a state bordering on death.

Tiie Lord's Prayer.?IIow many millions of times has that prayer been offered by Christians of all denominations! So wide, indeed, is the sound thereof gouc forth, that daily, and almost without intermission, from the ends of the earth, and afar off upon the sea, it is ascending to heaven like incense and a pure offering. Nor needs it the gift of prophecy to foretell, that though 'heaven and earth shall pass away,' these words of our blessed Lord 'shall not pass away,' till every petition in it has bccu answered?till the Kingdom of God shall conic, and his will j be done on earth as it is in heaven.?Mont-1 gomcry.

FBAUDUI-EXTIMtTATIOKS OF SUTgBIOIl COMMODITIES Among the many dishonesties' of trade which the moral sense of the cftiirttuiaty is called upon to sit tin res', we would particularly notice a u.o.-t pernicious and-infamous practice adopted ly unscrupulous dealers of imitating and counterfeiting the exterior appi-arnnee Arid precautionary lube's o#popular drug--. :nc 1 catnSttfB. and arfic!'-? of personal And thus, tip mi t!.t* wet. i.c?p.tip < ; t!;t m; t tv'ujr trader, palming <;U ui dbsinteriv ttid w?>ri1Bcfs compounds, to the -ore detriment not.only uf the consumer, but to the character of the man who lias expended thousands of dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem and demand. These petty larceny thieves arc the best of all honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as much liirrh , . Cway robbery as tit'-' violent appropriation of their neighbor's purse; in fact, they arc beneath the burglnr and .highwayman in dignity?-for these latter felons exhibit a bravery or recklessness-of character in nowise distinguishing the tiiarpantile assassin who stnbs in the dark. And might tbey not be rewarded with a punishment commensurate with the.cowardice of their critne? We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with the slight addition of a few letters to plead technicai avoidance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were very similar, and every thing carefully prepared to imposo upon a. careless purchaser' Now is r.ot the man who perpetrated this fraud, a felon, a robber? Assuredly lie is; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring his genuine imported Schnapps into popular demand, that demand mhy bo justly considered a a part of bis capital in trade, and a fellow stealing a putt of his reputation is as much of * thief as if he hat! stolen a barrel of his schnapps iif bulk.? And to this crime he adds a farther one of-defr&uding the community by giving them a ruinous article for the money they intended to expend for & commodity in which tlity had confidence. And, further, every man who parlicipateslndireotly in the fraud, by soiling spurious artioles is as much of an offender as the principal who planned tho imposition. The remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie in h:s holding all concerned up to the contempt of the community thus swindled by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon by tbeir noxious composition. Wc tnM that Mr. Vfclfe will obtain names, not on'y of the concoctors of tireso counterfeits, but of every man offering them for sale, and then publish them Nf the worhl; for his own reputation and the health of the community demand that all parties should ho nailed to tho pillory of popu'ur execration. * From the New York Dispatch. As I.VFAMOCS IJrsiNEss.?When an cntorprising mat! ftriKcs our. a new niir-wess, to tbc establishment of which he gives his industry, time, talents ami pecuniary mean?, can anything be more contemptible tint it to have another steal in, ami, under specious pretexts, hold out to the public on inferior article, and ?*nd< nv?.r to obtain their patronage? Piay. what dilf rtnee is there, so faros the l.onrsty of the thing is concerned, between purloin- I h.g the ljit. iin.-i by which a citiaetM. hope* to make hi.- bread and stealing'the- bread itself?

So soon a? tricksters, who pass in the business community as honest men, saw that Mr- Wolfe was likely to bavehandsome returns for the time and money which \o hnd expend'd. they set about forging his labels ' and palming off upon the peopl contestable and poisonous compounds which they have the hardihood to call Schiedam schnapps." In some instances they have gono so far as to put -Wolfe's uante'to their villainous liquids. As this horde are growing hold in their rascalities,-it is time tlio public in town and country were put upon their i guard Consumers should be sure that they pur- I chase the genuine article, or else their health may be irreparably injured by using the horrible stuff ili?t unscrupulous men, because they can buy it eh<*n11, will offer as the genuine article.

THESE celebrated machines arc in practical an4 profitable u?e in all parts of the. civilised vorld. In all the various trades, and in sowiug ' :vcry hoi t of fabric, either of cl^h or leather, ^ :hcy have been fully tried and approved. Sewing naehincs of other manufacturers often fail to vork, but Singer's Machines always operate perect'.y, being strong, durable and complete in connivance and workmansnip. A perfect sewing nachine kept employed affords a clear profit of 51,000 a year; but an imporfect one is a cause of jonstaut vexation and loss. The entiro reliability )f our machines is one great reason for their nnjarallelcd popularity. Machines for family sewing, of a frail and delcato construction, arc recommended by other nanufacturcre. Such machines are made .to catch :bc eye, not to perform substantial work, TLo ruth is, family sewing machines ought to be stronger than any other, because they go into less skilful hands than when sold to manufacturers, ind are used for a greater variety of work. The nachincs which have proved best for all other purjoscs must be best for family use, and they are Singer's. The speed of our machines has lately )d!n doubled. No other can compare with them n quantity of work. B?3l?Xpw machines of the latest improved style vill be exchanged on liberal terms for old sewing nnchiuct of our own make, or for operative masliines of other manufacturers. Local agcuts van ted to sell our machines. N. li.?All persons desiring full information a- J ;out sewing machines, pan obtain it by applying 'or a copy of "I. M.
