PADDY COON"HUNTING. An Irishman of our acquaintance, named Michael O'Roger, who settled in this part of the country some years ago, lately received an unexpected visit from his brother Pat, who was direct from the "sod."? Mick heartily welcomed his brother, and resolved to do every thing in his power to make his visit an agreeable one. Accordingly at the end of the second day after Pat's arrival -?which had been spent by them in a general carousal?Mick artned his brother with a shillab, and led oft' in the direction of a cornfield about half mile distant, where he assured Pat they would enjoy a rare eveui iog's sport, coon limiting. The night was too dark to distinguish objects of their search at any great distance, but on entering the J > - i/l vi\) 1 vnnn fliscnv lieui, auu oeniuy up ? nuu^vi^v. ere'd/by the rustling of the corn-stalks in various directions, that they had been successful in routing several of them froiu their Riding places. Mick's keen eyes were now iixed upon a large tree, which stood a few yards distant, and he soon had ?he satisfaction of detecting an object moving up its trunk at a rapid rate. This he knew to be a coon, and with a shout of joy he rushed towards the tree, calling on his brother to follow up. In a moment the two sportsmen were under the tree. Mick prepared for a climb, and directed Pat how to act when the coon reached the ground : be after makiu' n great noise to get away," said Mick, "but for yer life don't let him escape yc." "Ocb, bo off up the tree wid ye," answered Pat, flourishing his shillalah, evidentIngrowing impatient for the sport, "niver fear but I'll put an ind to him when he comes down." Mick now commenced climbing the tree with all possible haste, and suceeded very well in the ascent, nnlil he reached the first branches, aud became hid from the wild gazes of his brother, when he paused a moment tn ascertain in what part of the tree the coon had taken lodgings. While matters were in this state the coon made a sudden move among the branches, which so startled Mick that he unfortunately let go his hold and fell headlong to the ground. I'at supposing him to he the coon rushed furiously upon hitn with his shillahth, and commenced the delightful operation of "putting an entl to him." ' "Mnrlher! murther!" cried .Mick, attempting to rise to his feet, <?in the name of St. Jhitrick, don't |>e aft her bating me tn death!" "Ye needn't be givin' me any iv ycr dirty excuses,"' answered Pat, '--bore my brither tould ye'd be afthcr makiu' a great noise to git away, but n.-ta f it ye'11 mnvo out o' this alive.'' Mick now supposing his brother to l?o crazy. thought it time to make it desperate struggle for life: so seizing I'at by the legs, lie succeeded in throwing him to the ground wHoiviinnii :? iitiitdi and tumble fiulit com .. _ meneed, which lasted for some time, without either of the brothers uttering a word. After a violent contest, however. Mick came off victoriously, Pat being so completely subdued, as in render him helpless. But, fearing it was all over with him, began to call wildly on Mick to ha.-ten down from the tree and assist him, or the ? ugly baste " would have his life. By this time Mick fully comprehended the error into which his brother had fallen, and commenced using every means in his power to bring him to his senses, which after a great deal of persuasion, he sueceded in doing. But the coon was allowed to escape unharmed, as neither of the adventurers felt in a humor for continuing the hunt that Dight. Indeed, it was Pat's first hunting scrape, and he swore by all the saints it should be his last. AMERICAN ANA. The cause of Alexander Hamilton's resigning his post as aid to Washington, and leaving the ariuy, until his re-appearance at the head of a company, near the close of the war, is not generally known. It was this, Washington having written a despatch ordered Hamilton to send ir off immediately. He then mounted his horse, and proceeded to inspect the camp. On his return, perceiving the despatch still lying on the table, he enquired "why it had not been sent'" Hamilton replied, "that shortly after receiving the order, he had encountered the Marquis Lafayette, who engaged him in conversation; and that troin motives 01 politeness 10 mat eminent persoD, be was compelled to postpone sending the despatch." Washington, who was the soul of punctuality, severely reprimanded Hamilton for his negligence. This touched the pride of Hamilton, who said, "since your Kxcelleucy thinks proper to speak to me in this style, it is time for me to leave," and going into the adjoining room, filled his portmanteau, aud returning, hid his great chief farewell. Washington must have been exceedingly angry, for he did not then, or subsequently, request Hamilton to remain, or to resume his post as aid-decamp. When travelling through the Western States for the purpose of selecting a proper route for the Charleston and Cincinnati Railroad, CeD. Hayne, was riding in a carriage with a party of gentlemen, one uf whom was ho desirous of instructing Hayne that he neglected no opportunity of giving him sonic information as to the roads and rivers they were traversing. It being midsnmraer, j many of these water courses were perfectly ! dry, so that the carrigae passed them with| out any difficulty. At every turn of the j ! road this gentleman would say, "This Gen. Hayne is so and so?that is so and so;" and ' so crossing the beds of former streams, he j would be very particular in tolling its name, i and perhaps the legeuds connected with it. j j This went on for sonic time. At length i : Hayne lost all patience, and when he heard J j the old song, "This, General Hayne, is."? ! "How lucky it is" observed Hayne, "that J , we have you along with us, for otherwise, I ! should have mistaken the beds of this water- j j course for one of your macadamized roads !" | A Kentuckian, attending the funeral obj sequies of Henry (.May, at San Francisco, j i said Mr. Clay ought never to have becu bu- J i ried on land.

A certain member of Congress was speaki _ , mg one (lay on some luipuruim tjuvouuu, ; became very animated, during which he : j grimaced terribly, which set a bother mem- j j ber, his opponent on the (juestion, to laugh- j : ing. This annoyed him very much, and he ; indignantly demanded to kuow why the gen- i tlemau from was laughing at him.

' HINTS TO VERDANT TRAVELERS, j Make your will before starting off, and hid an affectionate adieu to your friends. If you invite them to a champagne supper the eveniug previous to leaving, their affliction wiil be much increased. Endeavor to reach the depot in time for . 1 the cars, or the wharf iu season for the stcaiu-: 1 cr. It is iuconveuicnt to he ten minutes be-! , hind time ; also provoking to have the con- j veyanec start while you are buying gingeri bread and apples, or a newspaper. Take your seat by the side of a pretty j youug lady, if possible, and ogle ber out of; ! countenance.

(.'hew tobacco In the cars, and spit such a nauseous puddle upon the floor, that the first lady who occupies the seat after you, will j have her dress spoiled, j Ask silly questions of the apple-boys and | peanut venders, as they pass through the car; it is an excellent way to exhibit your wit to strangers. i . Take occasion to count over and display j your money in public rooms and in crowds ' of people. Somebody may then imagine that! , you may have more money than brains. . j Should a little delay or accident occur, J bluster about, swear, bore everybody with ' tjjotij' opinion of the matter, and exaggerate ; :lie occurrence io those with whom yon onn: verse. Tell strangers your business, who you are j j and where you are going, without their ask- j i ing.

If you borrow instead of buy a newspaper, ; d" not think of returning it; of course it i j isn't worth while. Throw it down anywhere.

A mischievous monkey chau-j ced to watch his operations. As soon as the counted bag had been replaced and tied up, : Jocko seized it, and soon found his way to ! the masthead. lie opened the bag, and af-! . tcr eyeing the brilliant gold, proceeded to j drop one pieoe on the deck and another in j the water, until lie had emptied the bag. When he had finished, the "Dutchman threw up his arms, exclaiming: " T>y Jinkes, he must be de dyveil, lor vat come from de va; ter he does gibe to de vater, and vat comes j from de milk he docs gibe to me." - - ? - <?? ? ? A Modkl Hoarding lfnisF.-r-A lady j who has just opened a boarding house in this : city, has adopted the following rules: The i gentlemen must not put I heir feet on the , mantel in winter, nor out of the window in : summer, and the lady must not write her name on the glass with a quartz piu. If she . uses an air tight, she must regulate the damper herself, and not riug every ten minutes ' < for the chambermaid. The single gentle man must not play the trombone, nor make love to the scivants, nor comb his whiskers at the table. Tf he does, he won't answer. The lady must not turn up her nose at eve-, i rything on the table, unless she has a natu- \ I ral pup. and none of the party must drink i or talk with a mouthful of victuals, normu? they fight forthe top buckwheat cake. Term liberal and board to be paid weekly in ad vance. This is certainly an odd mode of invitin< customers. LEARNING THE CURRENCY. Of all the close dealers among us, tin Dutchman lives on the least, and shave: the closest. It is astonishing how soon the; learn our currency.? A good thing occur rod a few days since, with a keeper of a smnl " Lager Bier" saloon in New York, win undertook to teach his assistant, a thick head cd sprout of a "Faderland," the diflcrenci between "five pence" and "six pence." " You sec, John, do piece mit devonian ish de five pence, and midout de voman isl dc six pence." " Yah !" said John, witli a dull twinkli of intelligence. A wag of a loafer, who overheard th< immndiatelv convinced the idea of. "saw" and "larger bier" gratis for that da; at least. Procuring ft three cent piece, In watched the departure of the "boss" am going up to John ; he called for a raug o 'bier,' throwing down the coin aud lookitij as if he expected his change. .John, win remembered his recent lesson, took up tin piece, and muttered to himself: " Midout- de vouians?" ish von si: peuce," and handed over three copper change. How often the aforesaid wag drank tha day we know not; it depended upon hi thirst aud the number of times he could ex change three cent pieces; but when tin "boss" came home at night, the numbe of small coins astonished him. "Vat ish dose, John; you make si many?" "Sixpence," replied John, with a pc culiarly satisfied leer. "Six pence ? Ponder and blitszen ! You take all these for six pence ! Who from?' "T>c man niit peard like Kossuth; h drink all day in it himself " Per teiilul! You give him change ever time ?" " Yah!" said John with a vacant stare " Per tcuful catch the Yankee," was nl the astonished Dutchman could say. IJJIili J ,\< t ntli .'lu.xr.l. u nai uiv jui digging ?' <1 am digging for money.'

'Saturday night.' 'Why, how much did you get ?' 'Four dollars and a half.' Why, that's rather small !' It's pretty well; six shillings a day i the regular price for digging cellars, all ove town.' The spades dropped and the loafer sloped. - - - - Who onus 1Jet.o\v.?A son of Erin lav ing hired his services to'cut some iee, wn asked if he could use the cross cut saw.

His cherr face and laughing countenance, his nccom updating disposition, and the alacrity wit! which In; served his customers, soonadvanc ed hint to a hotter store at a dollar a wool l,,. nirinl-ivlv nhwed in the ham of his mother, to aid, l>y marketing for olh ers, to .support her little family. Jfc nov ships cargoes, for his own vessels, but cm barks in no important enterprise witliou first consulting that mother still. The son of "an apple woman" we knov to he one of the richest men in the I'nitei States, and who accumulated his wealth b; his own activity and enterprise: not b; speculation, but by legitimate commerce? by honorable mercantile competition. A " nice young man," ten years ag< worth fifty thousand dollars, who delightei in horses, hounds and gunning, married : young lady of refinement and education; h is now living in poverty, with that same wif and small children, in a country village be yornl the Mississippi. Let us now go hack to times long pa-t and see how history tenches the same les son. In 1777, Mr. Hastings received the hum blc petition from the Great Mogul for ai< against his enemies; ten years later, and Mr Hastings is on his knees in the House o Lords, and was obliged to give bail that hi would not run away. Tn 1770, Lord North was I'rimo Ministc of England, the counsellor of Kings; tei years later and it is recorded, " Lord Nortl waslq/1 out of Westminister Abbey by oni nf lii.! rl:in>?btors." In 1777, there was a ."marl, active waite at a country tavern ; ton years later lie wa: a nabob, a borunet, a knight of the shire. In 1777, Dr. 1\ went to the gallery o the House of Commons to hear Mr. Pitt': speech, ami was turned out; ten years latei and Dr. P. rose in his place in the IIou.se. o Lords to defend a dairyman, while Mr. Pit stood in the bar below to hear him. By such examples let young men lean that attention, diligent, persevering, lovinj attention to almost any of the useful calling! of human life, guarantees, success whethei in a monarchy or republic, whether undei Kings or Presidents. That to be good al one thing is of itself elevating, and aids tc higher success. That what gives enduring success is not family, name, nor wealth noi accident, nor position, nor even genius itself but it is steady, energetic following up ol any one calling in the love of it, nature, anc the belief of its importance- And more? without this faith and affection, no man ha? ever yet succeeded in any creditable occupa^ tion, nor do we believe ever will. f - NEGROES IN AFRICA, s We are permitted fsnys the Boston /W to make the subjoined extract from a lettci written by an officer of the United States X navy to a friend in this city. The writer is a son of a late distinguished Senator from I one of the Xew Kngland States. Thelettoi j is written from on board the United State; EJ ! ship St. Louis, and dated October 15, 1853, s i at "Little Fish Bay, west coast of Africa." I "There is very little variety upon this - i coast. 'Xiggers!' slaves! 'niggers' is the 1 cry. This town is, like most other place; a npon the coast, made up of a few people, eal - led white, and a crowd, a mass of miserable, e tilthy, worthless, indolent (niggers) natives. 1 Tf Charles Sumner, Jack Hale, or anyothei s ! sensible man wishes or is willing to bo per 1 ; manently cured of his mock philanthropy ! and sickly sentimentality in regard to tlu 2 I universal negro race, he has only to take a ! six months cruise upon the coast of Africa J ; Tf that will not enrehim, and convince him a j that his sympathy for three and a half mil v ! linns of the hanniost, negroes unon the face ' j i r ?o c of the earth i.s misplaced, then 1 have only tr .1 | say he is past hope and past cure, f \ "As I live, I do not believe there is one ? i negro in one thousand upon the coast of Af " riea, who is as well off, morally, physically, c i or socially, as the worst abused slave in the United States. Slavery here is slavery in k deed, and of the most horrible kind. Cruelt) s practised licre by Uwl- slave-owners is heart rending to witness. Some chiefs (blackj t j own thousands?they sell, torture, or kill s ; them, at pleasure. Ninety-nine of even - i hundred negroes, slaves ov free, even iu town; c would gladly exchange their condition with r the meanest, most ill-treated slave in the i Union. It i.s impossible to picture the mis 0 i crable condition of the native African upon j his own soil. Civilization, or even partial -1 culture, with the mass of natives, is an idct ! so perfectly absurd that it does not admit ol r , a thought. With the combined efforts of s ' million competent, honest, industrious, per e i severing philanthropists, with millions ol i mouoy yearly expended to the best possible y advantage for a million of years, would nol ! develop one hundred native Africans whe j would be of any account to the world al 1 | large. So much for 'niggers.' Having seer our negroes at home in our Southern States J aud having seen thein here, I regard the 'in a j stitution' as it exists there as a benign, nay, ; heavenly institution, and our southern brctli ren deserve the thanks of the whole Chris tiau world, for having ameliorated, in such r striking contrast with their brethren here | three and a half million of negroes. Yon ' may imagine that, nltfaoagh never a Demo erat, I pray for the election of Mr. Buchan \ an, and mainly because upon this negro ques tion the Democratic party is right." t WW t THE PRINTER. The Belfast Mercury gives the following in relation to printers. 'From high to low, they are the sam< careless, light-hearted, clever, well informed j reckless fellows, knowing how to act bcttei j than they do?nothing at times?everything g if occasion requires or the tit takes them r No sooner are they comfortable in one towr than they make tracks for another, ever a though they travel on 'hair space' means And to what will they not turn their hands' 'We have seen' says the American Editor , 'one and the same individual of the craft, r minister in California, a lawyer in Missouri a sheriff, in Ohio, a boatman on a Westerr Q Cnnal, sailing a privateer, an auctioneer it New Vnrk, and a pressman in a large prin ting office. Nor are these eharaetars confin cd to any one country?they arc every when ( the same. We have met tlicm as lecturers v actors, travelling preachers, ventriloquists in fact every thing. We have met them or i tramp in this country, members of this ro ! ving profession from all parts of the globe? I Frenchmen, Spaniards, Pojfugucse, < ior * j mnns and .Swedes?and all apparently at I much at home as in their own country. Ar ! dent lovers of liberty, king craft and priest? find but little favor in their eyes. They arc j always with the people.

When barricades were raised in I'am V j in 4^, the compositors cast their type intc * | bullets and fired them at the royalists' troops. ' When the Americans were at war with Mcxi'" eo, of tumoral Taylor's Regiments one was v > composed almost entirely of printers, and 1 ! they were the bravest of his troops." r jfciT.Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, in a re-; cent speech before Congress on the PresiI 1 dent's message iises the following language: S'ir, it is an easy thing for a man to drift v I along with the popular current. Any man 1 [ can do that. Honors thns obtained are as y worthless as they are cheap; but it requires )' nerve, it requires all the elements that make - ' a man, to stand up and oppose men in their j errors, and advocate truth before a people "> unwilling to hear and receive if ; to speak 1 to those who < ' having oars hear not and i' . haviug eyes see not." History furnishes some 0 , examples of this sort; but the history of the e 1 world, in my judgment has never furnished - nobler and grander specimens of litis virtue than the late canvass in the North. "When , a man discharges his duty upon any occasion - he deserve respect and admiration; hut when a man discharges his duly against the .: prevailing prejudices of those around him, 1 I and even against his own natural feelings . j and inclinations, that man commands somef; thing higher than respect and admiration. ? The elder Brutus, who sat iu judgment and pronounced sentence agaiiffcfc his own son, r j silencing the adverse promptings of a fathl ' er's heart, made himself the " noblest Roi j man of them alland those statesmen at ?! the North, to whom I allude who had the i nerve, in the crisis just passed, to stand up r and vindicate the right under the circums | stances in which they were placed, gave to ! the world an instance of the.moral sublime f in human action never surpassed before. ?. Our history furnishes no parallel with it. r i Tiny bore the brunt of the tight. To them f the preservation of the Republic is due : t ' and if our .Republic proves not to be unj grateful, they will receive patriots' rewards, i more to bo desired than monuments of btass r or marble?honored names while living and ) j honored memories when dead.

' ' For sale by all the respectable.Grocers and Iruggists. Read the opinions of the New York Press. UDOLPHO WOLFE, 22 Beaver Street,"New York.From the New York Mercury. BAl'DVIiKNT IMITATIONS OP SWEBIOB COMStODrTIES Among the many dishonesties of trade wbioh lie moral sense of the community is called upon o suppress, we woiild.particularly'notice a most ernicious and infamous practice adopted by- uncrupulons dealers of imitating and counterfeiting ho exterior appearance and precautionary labels f popular drugs, med enmenta, and other articles f personal consumption, and thus, by seizing trpn the well acquired reputation of an enterprising rader, palming off most destructive and worthless ompounds, to the sore detriment not only of the onsumer, but to the character of the man who ias expended thousands of dollars in bringing the ;ennine article into esteem and demand. These letty larceny thieves are the best of-all honorable en1er<! find traders, and the trade id aa mnnti ki?h' lay robbery as the violent appropriation of their ieighbor'8 purse; in fact, they aro beneath the lurglar and highwayman in dignity*?for these titter felons exhibit a bravery or recklessness of haracter in nowise distinguishing the mercantile .ssassin who stabs in the dark. And ought'they lot be rewarded with a punishment commensurate rith the cowardice of their crime? We were led 0 these remarks by accidentally observing a spuious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, rith the slight addition of a few letters to -plead echnicai avoidance of the law against counterfeiing; the bottles were very similar, and "every hing carefully prepared to impose upon a careless mrchaser- Now is not the man who perpetrated his fraud, a felon, a robber? Assuredly he is"; 'or, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large Bums to bring lis genuine imported schnapps into popular denand, that demand may be justly considered a 1 part of his capital in trade, and a fellow stealing i part of his reputation is as much of a thief as if le had stolen a barrel of his schnapps in balk.? ind to this crime he adds a further One of defrauling the community by giving them a rninooa aricle for the money they intended to expend for a iommodity in which they had confidence." And, urther, every man who participates indirectly'In he fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much >f an offender as the principal who planned the mposition. The remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie n his holding all concerned up to the contempt of he community thus swindled by their operations, ind unconsciously imposed upon by their hoxioos iomposition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe wIHobain names, not only of the cohcoctors of these sountcrfeits, but of every man offering them for lale, and then publish them to the worldfor hi? >wn reputation and the health"of the community lemnnd that all parties shonld be mtiledde the jillory of popular execration. From the New York Dispatch. As Infamous Business.?When on enterprising nan strikes out a new business, to. the establish?,^-' nent of which he gives his industry, time, talents ind pecuniary means, can anything be- more conemptible than to have another steal in, and, under specious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferfa %* >r -article, and endt avor to obtain their patronage?'

A common thief, if he takes without leave, however hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker's shop, is apprehended and condemned to the penitentiary fpr darr ing in a surreptitious manner to npeasc his appetite: but put a respectable looking coat-oh his back and n few dollars in his pocket, and he tnay, with impunity, nay, even with fhe applause of Ids fellows, by knavery, forgery or other infamous means, take the business of an honest man ffpm him, and gounscathed of justice.
