?Go It Alone." BT JOHN O. SAXK. There'? a frame much in fashion, I think it*B called euchre, Though I've never played it for pleasure or lucre, In which, when tho cards are in certain conditions, The players appear to have changed their positions, And ono of them cries, in a confident tone, "I think I might venture to go it alone!" Whila watching the game, 'tia a whim of the bard's, . . A moral to draw from tho skirmish tn Aud to fancy he (iuds in thc trivial strife Some excellent hints for tho bat tl o of lu-. Where, whether tho prize bc a ribbon or throne. . The winner is ho who can "go it alone; When great Gaiitco proclaimed that tho ' world , , , . . , In a regular orbit was coasoicssly whirled, And got- -not a convert for all ot bis pains, But onlv derision, and prison, and chains, "I* moves, for all that," was hoi answering tone, For he knew. like the earth, ho could go it aloin !" When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar. Discovered the laws of eac!i planet aud star: Aad doctor-i who ought to have lauded hes name, Derided his, learning and bia.".kened his fame; "Learn, wait," he replied, "till tho truth you shall own;-' For he felt in his heart "he could go it alone!" Alas for thc player who idly depends, lu thc struggle of life, upon kindred and friends: Whatever the \ duo of blessings like these. They can never atone for inglorious ease, Nor comfort the coward w ho finds with a groan That his crutches have left him to "go it alone!" There is something, no doubt, in the hand you may hold: JJealth, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold; The nnfortunate nv. ..or may fairly regard, As each in its way a most excellent card Yet tho game, may bc lost, with all these for your own, Unless j IU'VO thc courage to "go it alone!" In battle or business, whatever thc gamo, In law or in love it is ever tho same; lu tho struggle for power oi scramble for pelf, Let this be your motto -"Itclv on vour self!" " For whether the prize bc a ribbon or throne, Thc victor is iie who can "go it alone!"' CAUGHT ttl THE AGT* CONCLUDED. I did not know what waa passing inside, but my face burned painfully; and when Ben, joined nae, I walked away at a race horse pace. "That was a great idea of yours," said my brother, laughing, "and placed mo in rather a queer position -just the next thing to apologizing to a man for shooting him, because you took .him for some one else! He really is a nice fellow, though, and shook my band as gratefully as though I had never disturbed his slumbers. He said that, j in future, bo never would even outer his own borne unless he could go in through the door, and at au orthodox hour. Ho is coming back with his sister in the autumn, and thou I hopo wo shall see something of him." "I never wish to soc nor hoar of bim again!" sahl, I wrathfully, "and I only wish he would go somewhere among the cannibals, and be eaten np as soon as be landed!" Ben. offered mo his knife in default of a ten-penny nail; but the condition at which I had arrived demanded a two hours' crying in my own room, before I was sufficiently composed to take up the burden of the day. Of course, I wroto immediately to Mrs. Beverley, telling ber of my ridiculous mistake and intense morti? fication, and begging her to explain to her brother just how it had all happened; and I soon received a reply that was characteristic of her own sweet self. "If I could put a good, hearty laugh on paper," she wrote, "you should certainly have it as some faint representation of ?the combinations of Harry and myself over your pro? ceedings. To thiuk that one whom I have always looked upon as a well disposed young lady, should make j such an unprovoked attack upon ; such an inoffensive young man, and | actually lodge him in the station j house! Oh, Minnie! Minnie I could j not have believed it of you! "But, seriously, my dear] child, I i beg that, instead of giving yourself I any uneasiness, you will accopt my j grateful thanks for watching my j premises so faithfully; and you cer? tainly had every reason to suppose that a mau who would enter my win? dow at two o'clock in tho morning, could not possibly be a respectable member of society. I really did send him, thou, Ii, to spend the night there, and to get me some valuable papers; and I told him, moreover, how to unfasten thc window. Harry seems far more impressed with your kindness in geftiniig him out of the station house than with your unkind in getting him in: and ho is so anxious to express his thanks in per? son, that I am alraid he; will succeed in worrying me home some weeks sooner than I intended." Now, I hud not thc ?lightest desire to see this injured young man; und when the time of his arrival came, like all other things wo dread, with amazing celerity, I called up all my powers of strategy for docent excusos to avoid tho evil moment. But that provoking Ben. must needs "take" to him wonderfully; and somehow or other, I always found myself doing whatever Ben. did." It all seemed like a dream; my introduction to Harry Essclton, en gagement, and marriage; but the affair of tho burglary bas furnished the whole family, himself included, with so much amusement, that I can scarcely regret having once lodged my husband in the station house. Typographical lirrors. Mr. W. Li. Stone, of New York, j lately delivered a very in rcstinc I and valuable lecture in tL....- city, j upon thc "Early History of New. papers in America." lu tho course of the lecture occurs the following: Tho New York Gazette was com menccd by Wayman. lu 1770, Way mau was arrested and imprisoned for a contempt oFthe Assembly, upoi no other charge than that of two ty pograpbical errors in printing th< speech of Sir Henry Moore, tin Governor of thc Colony. Ono o those errors consisted In printing tin I word never for ever, by reason o I which tho monning of the sentenci . was reversed. Nothing can be mori j annoying to authors aud publish I ors than errors of thc press; und ye I thgse who are unskilled in tho art o j printing cm scarcely conceive tb ? difficulty of avoiding them. To ar j rive at ordinary accuracy in-ad-ail; I newspaper requires tuc reading am I correction of at least two proofs j and even ti ion an editor who ba not become case-hardened by lonj endurance, will often bo shocked a . the transformation of sense int ! nonsense, or the murdering of on I of his happiest conceits, ortho pluck ! ing of tho point from one of hi: j neatest parapraphs, by a typography cal error. In the carly stages of th art of printing, errors were far mor j numerous than in books of modcri : execution. It was then very commoi ! for a volume of ordinary size to con tain page upon pago of errata at. th? close. One of thc most rcmarkabl instances of this kind was thc cu rio u treatise of Edward Leigh on "Reli gion and Learning," published ii 1650. At Hie close of the work wer throe folio pages of corrections i very minute type, lt is a singula fact that tho edition of the Latii ! Vulgate by Tope Sixtus V, althoug carefully superintended, sheet b; ! sheet, by His Holiness, has ever re mained without a rival in typograpb j ical inaccuracy. Still moro cm-ion was thc fact that the Pope, in th plenitude of his pontifical infallibil i ity, prefixed to tho first volume bull of excommunication again: any and every printer, who, in rx printing the work, should make an alterations in the text. Among lu i stances of typographical errors th lecturer gave thc following: A hu in a printing office,, who knew mor about type-setting than bc did of th Greek mythology, in looking ove a poem they were printing, cam upon the name of Hecate, one c the lady divinities of the lower work occurring in a linc like this: "Sh shall reign the Hecate of the dcepe? Hell." The boy, thinking ho ha discovered au error, ran to the ma: ter printer, and inquired cargerl whether lhere was an c in cat. "'Win no, you blockhead,'" was tiie repb Away went the boy to thepress-rooi and extracted tho objectional lette lint fancy the horror of both poi and publisher when the poem a] poured with tho line -'-She sha reign tho He Cat of the deepe: Hell." This, however, was not s bad as the manner in which th printers treated Miss Lindon. I speaking of it, she says : An when 1 had written "full blow ros*es,"' the nasty things made it "fu blown noses." Jienjauiin Frankli once putting to press a "form" < thc Common Prayer, the letter c i the following passage dropped oi unperceived hy him: "We shall all 1 changed in thc twinkling of an eye. When the book appeared, to tho ho ror of thc devout worshippers, tl passage read: "We shall all be hangt in the twinkling of an eye." Fran] lin has i^een suspected ol' havingdoi this intentionally, but it appears mo without good reason. But aft all, when it is considered of bc many separate and minute piec of metal a newspaper is compose! the wonder is that the errors the press arc not far more num rons than they are. A single pa: of one of our largest papers c; not contain less than 315,000 separa pieces of metal, each of which mn I be nicely adjusted in its own prop place, or error and confusion wilie ; sue. A Paris letter thus describes Rotl : child's abode in that city: 'Tt is ; j immense building, seven stories hig I and would cover about one bloc j You are somewhat astonished to s I that tho first, ox ground lloorrisus for numberless little shops, sega: ! pictures, moat stalls, vegetables, I shops, toys and a livery stable.

P. STRINGFELLOW, No. 710 Federal Street Bill Simpson's ?-fRnl Experience. Many years ago, tho Legislature of Tennessee passed an Act to organize the Gjouatj of SfoNiiry, alias Snake. At that time the country embraced in tho limits of Snake was occupied by a steady set of backwoodsmen, totally unacquainted with courts, jails, kc. Tho County assembled at thc appointed site for the purpose of cut? ting logs, making boards, etc., to build a court house and jail. The only them o of conversation, when I the men were assembled, was thc ' court, etc. Non.- r.f them had over i seen a court in session, as yet devel oped. Each ono would give what his idea was of a court, etc. Nono, however, were entirely satisfactory, j until i lill Simpson was called upon to give his ideas. He said he knew : all about a court- ilmt he. had a law-1 suit in North Carolina. (Jue of his j neighbor's hogs kept coming when : he fed his hogs, until it got fat. One 1 morning he got so blamed mad that ! he shot the hog. Ile thought it i would not cfo to throw ii away, so he cleaned it and salted it. Shortly] afterwards his neighbor and a niau cam;1 t > his house, examined the smoke-house, and took lum to town j and put him iii a little office. About j three months aller that, this mau : came and took him to a laroo room. A largo niau sat upon a high hench- - j a man was setting at a desk-about a ! dozen linc dressed men sat in a place \ that was paled around. The.man put mc in a pen just behind them. He then called in twelve men, they took scats in a box in front of the fine dressed men. The man that was I writing gave the twelve men a hook, ! and said something about Bill Simp? son and State. Then one ol* the fine men read something about Bill Simp- j . and he and another one of the lino dressed men had the biggest quarrel you ever heard; I thought they would fight every! raiiu.ie, but they didn't, lt was Bill Simpson and til?' hog, and. the hog and Bill Simpson, and sometimes Mr. Simpson, but blamed seldom. After they quit quarreling the big' man talked awhile to thc twelve men, i and then they went ont and staid a ! short time, and came back and said SOUK tiling to the man at thc desk. ' Tho man on the bench said some- ; thing to tin: man that put rue in the ! office, and he took me out and tied j meto a persimmon tree and com-j menced fighting me with a cow hide, ? and it made me so blamed mad that I shook all the persimmons off the ' tree.

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT! mHE QUEEN'S Mil l<;i!T, tho great JL American Alterativo and blood Puri? fier, is thc ni"st perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diun tics and diaphoretics; making it tin- most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known lo the world. lu introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to tho public, observation leads us to remark that too little attention is paid to the "life of all flesh," the ld.,od. Many diseasi s, and, too.'many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of the idood, are treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if tho remedy had boen applied to enrich Ibo blood and ren? der ii pure, both cause and offed would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offi red t-> thc ?ltlich d asa sun remedy for those diweases '.rising from an impure condition of thc blood. It has a direct and specilic action upon that Uni,I. ami consequently renders ile- blood pure. It is said, on l?igli authority, that 'mian no sooner begins to live than he begins to die, and that the characteristics of the living organism are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste.'' it is obvious, therefore, to every reih (ding minti, that unies.i the blood is pure, in supplying tho waste tis? sues wit h material, it TI list be the cause of innumerable, ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption) Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Life arid lo :-. 11 li is= only to bc maintain* d by ; he circulation of pure arterial blood. ? Wo therefore advise every one whose blood is in thc least vitiated hy indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im? paired by disease and is suli'e ing from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, I >usump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncle's, Boils, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, 'letter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in thc Bones, old Ulcers^ Syphilis and Syphilid!? Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of thc Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in tho Back, General Debility, and for all complaints ai ?sing from deficiency and poverty of blood, to usc the Quccu's Delight.
