Jmusing $leafont|. THE SMACK IN SCHOOL. The following incident a in District School, 1 described by Mr. William Pitt Palmer, of ( New York, President of the Manhattan Insurance Company, in an address before "The Literary Society," in Stockbridge, Massaohu- , setts, his native home, will take many whose heads are now streaked with silvery hears, a journey back to boyhood and early life : A District School, not far away 'Mid Berkship hills one Winter's day. Was humming with it;, wonted noise Of three-ecorce mingled girls and boys? Some few upon their tasks intent, But more on furtive mischief bent; The while the master's downward look Was fastened on a copy-book? nr. JJ V:? MUCH 3UUUUU1V, ucuiuu lilo Linn, Rose sharp and clear a rousing smack ! i As 'twere a battery of bliss Let off in one tremendious kiss! 'What's that!" the startled Master cries: "That tbir," a little imp replies, "Wath William Willith, if you please? "I saw him kithThuthannah Peathe!" With frown to make a statue thrill, The master thudered, "Hither, Will I" , Like wretch o'ertaken in bis track, With stolen chattels on his back, Will hung his head in fear and shame, And to the awful presence came? A great, green, bashful simpleton, i The butt of all good-natured fun? With smile suppressed, and birch upraised, The threatener faltered?"I'm amazed That you, my biggest pupil, should Be guilty of an act so rude! Before the whole set sohool to boot? What evil genius putyou to't!" "'Twas she, herself, sir," sobbed the lad, " I did'nt mean to be so bad? But when Susannah shook her curls, And whispered I was 'fraid of girls, ?_j?j >1. .v.

Afaong the prisoners ushered before Judge Pruden, one morniDg, in a Cincinnati Police Conrt, was a tall, robust, big-boned Kentuokian, from the vicinity of Caseyville. He was evidently a descendant of tbe pure old Kentuck stock?stout as a Hob, fearless as a knight, and independent as a freeman dare be. He was charged with disorderly conduct. Tbe arresting officer stated that he found him "slashing around" in an eating and drinking house, arrested him to preserve the peace. " What have you to say to this charge ?" asked the Court. "A might, that's sartain," replied the prisoner. ?You see, Squire, I'm a stranger here, from way down in old Kaintuck, and hain't lamed yer ^ays. Shall I tell you howI was cotohed ?" "We will listen to you," remarked the Judge, who saw he had a character before him, and was disposed to let him have vent. ?I go five that you're a trump," replied Kentuck. " But that's neither hear nor thar. I'm to tell you how I was cotched." " That's it," " Well, Squire, I cum to town yesterday. I 'spected not to stop long, so I didn't go to nary a tavern. I got kind a hungry though, so I made a lunge for a eatin house. I sot down to the table, and I axed for a dozen and a half of eggs, an the critter who waited J on the customers opened his eyes, grinned, and then fetched 'em tome. They was good, but I wanted a littte mixture. I called for ( ' a cold beef-steak?cold, Squire, kase it's agin my constitutional principles to eat meat hot. The fellow grinned, and said they hadn't got none. That kind a riled me, but I kept my temper, and ordered another dozen and a half of eggs. Then the chap snickered, an said,1 We ain't got no more eggs, old Kentuck? you've eat 'em all up.' That set me a bilin' an I just squashed things for a while. That's the whole on it Squire, sure as I'm from old Kaintuck." " Then you considered yourself aggrieved V\w *V?e\ locf rnmowlr tho TTuitPr IJJ tUV i?Cb V4 vuv M M??V* " Just so." "How do you generally take your eggs? boiled or fried ?" " Fried, Squire?all the time fried. Biled eggs, 'specially when they're hard, don't set well on a feller's stomach." "Can you eat three dozen eggs at once ?" " Jist like a knife, and throw the shells in. All I ax is to have 'em fried." "You must be fond of eggs?" " Now hush, Squire; you're techin me on a tender pint." "Is it your practice to 'squash' things when you get riled V " " Not commonly. I'll tell you what it are, , Squire, this is the first time in my mortal days that I was ever locked in. Let me out, an I'm off for old Kaintuck, like a streak." " You are, eh ?" " Sartain as I'm from old Kaintuck." "And you will eat no more of our eggs ?" " Darn the one Sqire." " Then you can take your hat and leave." "Your'ea hoss?old Kaintuck forever," yelled the Kentucky egg eater, as he strutted out of the court room with the air of a prince, and amidst the hearty laughter of all who had witnessed his trial. Anecdote of Talleyrand.?This illus- j1 trious diplomatist one day found himself be-11 tween Madame de Stael and Madame Beca- I1 mier, both intimate friends, both celebrated, j "You say charming things to us Ootn, nut;1 which do you prefer ?" said Madame de j Stael, suddenly. "Madame, such a question is a veritable 1 ambush. Take care, the penal code?" "Prince, no subterfuge here ! Which do j you prefer?my friend or myself? Come, i speak?is it the brunette or the blonde ?" i It will be her who will deign to honor me i with a look." i' "What 1 still diplomatic ! well, I will put j i the question in another form: Suppose, j while sailing on the Seine, this evening, j the boat should upset, and we should be in ; i danger of drowning, which one would you 11 help ?" i' "Both at once, or the one who was in the j i greatest danger." , i "But, mooseigneur, be frank for once in ! i your life ! Suppose the peril be equally ira- j I minent ?" "Well, I would give my right hand to ' you, Baroness, and the left to Madame Be- j' camier." "But if you could save only one?one : ? only?do you understand ?" . < "Oh, madame, you know so many things, j ] I suppose you can swim," replied Talley- j < rand. ' j A funny correspondent of a Western paper says that he has tried fifty different s avocations within the last year, and expects to try twice as many next year. He i ia as bad as a postage Btamp?he can't stick i to anything. j Practical Joking.?'Afew days since,' j writes an attorney, 'as I was sitting with I Brother P , in his office in court Square, ! a client came in and said : "Squire P , Wiggins, the livery sta- j ble man, shaved me dreadfully, yesterday, ] and I want to come up with him." "State your case," says D . "Client?I asked him how much he would i charge mo for a horse and w^gon to go to Dedhead. He said one dollar and a half. [ took the team, and when I came baek, I paid him one dollar and a half, and he said he wanted another dollar and a half for coming back, and made me pay it." D , gave him some legal advice, which the client immediately acted upon, as follows : He went to the stable keeper and said, "how much will you charge me for a horse and wagon to go to Salem ?" "Wiggins replied Five Dollars." "Harness him up!" 'Client went to Salem, came baok by railroad, went to the stable saying, "Here is your money," paying him five dollars. "Where is my horse and wagon ?" says Wiggins. , \ ? - .. ? . _ Y t "He is at Salem," says client, "i oniy hired him to go to Salem." A Fearful Apparition.?The editor of the Tiffin Advertiser says that Mrs. J the widow of a late subscriber to the Advertiser ia an adjoining township, was recently awakened from a sound sleep at midnight, when she distinctly heard an apparition advancing towards her, until it finally reached her bed. A sense of suffocation deprived her of all her power to scream aloud. She describes her blood as retreating with icy dullness to her heart from the body, when she recognized in the intruding spirit her deceased husband. The countenance of her beloved in life wore not its once benevolent aspect; the eyes which once beamed with affection upon her, were now fixed in stern regard upon the trembling woman. Aroused to desperation she abjured him? 'Charles, why do you haunt me? Why do you come again V 'Jessie,' said he, slowly waiving in his hand a small roll of paper, 'Jessie, pay the account I owed to the Advertiser, and let me rest in peace.' Mrs. J. has fulfilled his desire, and is now not fearful of any future visits from the j shadowy land. Can't Come on Deck.?As an omnibus, chartered by a party of sailors for the purpose of visiting Jones' woods, was passing thorugh Division street, New York, it was stopped at the corner of Market street by an Irishman and his wife, who insisted npon being allowed to get in. The sailors were opposed to this infrigement on their rights, althrough a greater number of them had clambered up to the roof, upon which they sat in the broiling sun to enjoy the prospect. The driver tried to explain to the Irishman that the omnibus was engaged; he would under stand nothing, but kept reiterating: "Is'nt it an omnibus, ye spalpeen? This is a free country ! If you don't let us in sure, I'll have the law ofyez." Tired of the fellow's pertiancity, the spokesman of the sailors, after turning his quid several times exclaimed : "Let the lubbers into the hold, but I'm blowed if they shall come up on deck. Railroad Law.?The New Haven Register says : A few nights since, owing to an accident, the Springfield train did not reach Hartford until fate, and in consequence those awaiting its arrival at the station had a tedious time of it. Among them was a demure looking Yankee inclined to have a nap. Fixing his feet on the upper round of his chair, he leaned back against the wall, and "went at it." He was not fairly under way, however, when he was tapped on the hat by one of the officials, and told "sitting up sleeping was not allowed in the depot." " Eh!" ejaculated the atonished sleeper, "nositting up and sleeping?" "No, sir?agin the rules of the Company," said the official. "Well, I declare," replied the other, "this is a mean place ! Won't you ask the Company if I mayn't gape ?" following up his query with a stretch that put the officious official to instant flight. An Extra Passenger.?An amusing scene took place in the steamer Baltimore, just as she was leaving for Cleveland. A rough-looking genius came aboard with a powerful bull-dog at his heels. Walking directly into the office, the individual said to the clerk: 'Stranger, I want to leave my dog in this here office till the boat starts; I'm afraid somebody will steal him.' 'You can't doit,' said the clerk; 'take him out.' 'Well, strauger, that's orucl; but you're both dispositioned alike, and he's kinder company for you.' 'Take him out!' roared the clerk. iWftll otronoror T ilnn'f. think Trnn'ro hnri ,, V.., ^ ; est, and want watching. Here, Bull, sit! down here and watch that fellow, sharp ;' and the individual turned on his heel, saying?'Put him out stanger, if he's troublesome.' The dog lay there when the boat started, the clerk giving him the better half of the j office. Wiio'd a Thunk It !?Old Mrs. Check-! erberry says that she thinks it very droll that the 4th of July should so often come j ou Sunday, or Sunday come so often on the | 4th of July?she isn't sure which?and she i 3ays that Mister Buck Cannon or the Con- j gresslature ought to do something about it. j In her opinion, it takes all the old fashioned , ?perrit and patrickism out of the 4th of In- i dependence, to have it come so; this mixing ! up of holidays and holy days; this looking j at the minister when your mind is runuing j on malicious officers with feathers in their j saps, and trying to sing psalms when one is thinking of "Yankee Doodle." A Kansas paper concluded an obit-J nary notice of the death of Lecompton thus:; " All retired from the melancholy spot, ; ieeply impressed with the fact that the days )f Lecompton were few and full of trouble.' He came up like a sparrow grass, was cut lown like a hopper grass, and died like a ( ackass!" J ftST" " Do you think you are fit to die ? laid a step-mother to her neglected child.

It is a notorious fact that Washington city I is an immoral, druhken place,-and thatraany who 50 hither having good moral characters, return totbeirconstituentdruuked debauchees. We understand that theVe are only about a half-dor.cn in the present Congress who are thorough teetotalers?many drink occasionally, more drink habitually, and not a few are loathesome drunkards. We could, enumerate a score or more who have beSa totally ruined by being sent to Congress.? Tf nrvf V10 known trt nnr readers that " ""V uv* ? there was an era in the history of the Republic when prominent men at Washington were not ashamed to avow their hostility to drinking, and their adherence to the cause of Temperance. In February, 1833, a large meeting was held in the Hall of the House of Representatives, at Washington, at which the Hon. Lewis Cass, then Secretary of War (now Secretary of State,) presided Addresses were delivered by eight or ten distinguished members of Congress. Among other Resolutions, the following were unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the manufacture of atd traffic in ardent spirits ought to be discountenanced and aband.oued as incompatible with the obligation;; of social and mori.l j duty, by every patriot, and especially by ; every Christian in tie country. "Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, that the liberties and welfare of the nation are intimately and indissolubly connected with the morals and virtue of the people.? And that in the enactment of laws for the common benefit, it is equally the duty of the Legislative body to guard and preserve the public morals from corruption, as to advance the pecuniry interest, or to maintain the rights and freedom of the community." In these latter days, our public men contend that tho "public morals" must take care of themselves, and that legislation ought never be had "to guard and preserve j them from corruption." A "Congressional .Temperance bocietyr was formed Feb. 2Gth, 1833, composed of i members of Congress, officers of the United r".?Ainil on/1 mllifort? CHUltJS UUVCluuivub) v?*n uuu iuii.vu.j ...... of Departments and ex-members of Congress. The Hon. Lewis Cass was elected President. We find enrolled among its members | the Hon. Samuel Bell, of New Hampshire; { Gideon Tomlinson and W. W. Ellsworth, j of Connecticut; John Reed and George N.'! Briggs, of Massachusetts ; Lewis Coadict | and Theodore Frelinghuysen, of New J or-' sey; William Wilkins, of Pennsylvania; Thomas Ewing, E. Cook and E. Whittlesey, of Ohio; Felix Grundy and John Blair, of Tennessee; John Tipton, of Indiana; Dan- j iel Wardwell, of New York; James M. j Wayne, of Georgia; Arnold Naudian, of j Delaware, and a host of others. This So- i ciety long since departed this life, and a ! proposition to reorganize it would be received with but little favor, so long as a portion of the Capitol is saoredly set apart for a grogshop, and leading members of Congress worship at the shrine of Bacchus in this Congressional Hell. Whither are we drifting as a nation? When will the sovereigns throughout this great Republic lose sight of small matters like Banks, Sub-Treasuries, Tariffs, &c., and grapple with this giant evil that is undermining the very foundations of our State and National Governments? . This question is not merely vital to our prosperity, it involves our very existence. Some may spy we have but one idea. If this is true, we insist it is a very large, idqt.,. outweighing in importance all the issues the parties huve made, from the foundation of the Government to the present hour. North and South, this is the question of paramount importance. What evil is desolating the land of steady habits? Is it not rum? What i9 the great iDcubus upon the prosperity of the Palmetto State ? Is it not whiskey? It must not be denied that intoxicating drink is paralyzing the physical, brutalizing the intellectual, and corrupting the moral powers of this nation, more than all other causes oombined. We may not hope to bring this great people to see the subject as we see it, but we will not cease our efforts in that direction while we can either speak or write. Our Congress must be reformed ! How ? Not by direct appeals to the members, but by entreaties to their constituents. The freemen must be persuaded to nominate and elect only such as are true to the interests of this vital measure. Bar-room loafers must not be considered available candidates simply because they are in favor of or are opposed to African slavery. There are in every State Temperance men enough to hold the balance of power and compel the selection of sober men for office, if they had principle enough to organize and act with independence and boldneRS. Alas ! Alas! principle is wanting !?Crusader. Strono Drinks Very Expensive ? Three-fourths of the crimes, misery and pauperism of the land, and a large proportion of tlie expenses of jails, of hulks, of transports, of county rates for police and for prosecutions, of union houses, of poor rates, and of lunatic asylums may bo traced to strong drink. Of 495 in an asylum in Liverpool, j 256 were there from intemperance; in Dublin, Dr. Crawford states, of 286 lunatics in one asylum, 115 were there from whiskey. A judge lately stated that he never had a | criminal brought before him whose crime i might not be traced directly or indirectly to strong drink. Edwwrd Chadwick, secreta-1 ry to the Poor Law Commissioners, has sta- i ted that education and teetotalism will do j more to diminish pauperism than all the laws that can be made. It is supposed there are 600,000 drunkards in the United Kingdom?that 60,000 die every year?160 every day?7 every hour ! The ranks of these drunkards are filled up by moderate j drinkers. It is calculated that 20,000 mem- i bers of Christian churches are annually ex- j pelled for drunkenness. What says the ! ttcriptuae ot the man who dies a arunKara : j1 ?Scottish Temperance League. A Good Move.?The Zates Creek As-1 sociation (Baptist) of Kentucky, at its recent j1 session, adopted a Preamble and Resolution ' i condemning in the strongest language the 1 i manufacture, traffic and use of intoxicating j < liquors by members of the Church.

SANFORD, Compounded entirely from GUMS, IS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND LIVER MEDICINES now before the public, tiiiit a eta as a Cathartic, easier, milder, and more effectual than any otber medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting fiYst on the Lit er to eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the painful feelings experienced in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses, will strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity. The Liver is one of ltheprincipalregulators of the human body; and Cr. when it performs its functions well, the pow pH era of the system are fully developed. Tinstomach is almost entirely dependent on tlu ^/healthy action of tbe Liver, for the propn r, performance of its functions; when the stoni J^Tach isat fault, the bowels arc at fault, and the J whole system suffers in consequence of one o -.^H gnn?the Liver?having ceased to do its duty' For the diseases of that organ, one of the pro- Qj prietors has made it bis study, in a practice of i?| more than twenty years to find some remedy y^\! wherewith to counter act the many derange W raeuts to which it ia liable. v-W' To prove that this* remedy is at last found, any person troubled J wiih Liver Com plain in any of its forms, has f~|bu,t to try a bottle, and conviction is certain, These Gums removi r |all morbid or bad matter from the system, l-y! supplying in theirplacn healthy flow of bile.tXtjinri go rating, the stomach, causing^od todi ?~j gestwell, purifying thblood, giving tone and^Hjhealth to the whole machinery, removing the; jcause of the diseaseeffecting a radical cure Billious attacks are pH'cured, and, wbatisbetter, prevented, by tbelrjl occasional use of the Liver Invigorator.

Tjir Hair.?People have for centuries been afflicted with baldheads, and the only remedy, heretofore known, baa been thoae abominable wigs. By a recent discovery of Professor Wood these articles are being fast dispensed with, but a great many persons still patronize them, because they have been so often imposed upon by Hair Tonics af different kinds. To all PHcb persons we.earnestly make- the request, that they will try. once again/ faf in Wo6dV Restorative there is no such thing as fail. We know of a lady who was bald, who used the article a short time, and her head is now covered completely with the tiniest and most beautiful curls imaginable.? We know of numerous cases where hair was rapidly falling out, which it restored in greater perfection than it ever bad been before. It is also without' dptfbt pup pf fJiP Riffle? for keeping the hair in good condition, making jt soft and glossy,removing dandruff, and has proved itself the greatest enemy to all the ills that hair is heir to.
