I noticed one day, ill my ride towards home, nn old worn chaise, in which was seated a young man, a fragile looking crcattue, with cadaverous check and hoi low eves, that glistened fearfully with each roll in the soc] ket. The loose fold of garment that, hung . over hi* form betrayed its shrunken propori lion; liis hands were childishly folded, with | a meek air, upon his lap, and hi* posture, backward swaying and listless, indicated ex| trcnie exhaustion. The worn old cliaisc stood before a marble-worker's shop, where, fronting the door, along the smokv buildincr. and on all sides. white shafts, gray stones, mul brown slabs uprose, ghastly shapes yet beautiful, with . angels and cherubs sculptured thereon, soinc pictured with willows, some with doves, some with graceful urns, many with sorrowful ' faces of mourners bunding over departed hopes, buried with the cherished deud in the 1 church yard. 1 It seemed a gloomy stopping place for one apparently so near his end ; and yet the '' serene countenance of the wan invalid was 1 suffused with a glad, almost holy expression, ( thai Eoftened its ghastliness and made its ( sadness more spiritual. Day after day, as I 1 passed, I met him always in the same place, ' either being assisted by some friend into the J old chaise, or sitting so listless, yet so pa tient, wailing tho progress of the laborers ' engaged with their work around him. 1 Uy chance I met a friend who knew tho ' invalid. I mentioned carelessly my opinion 1 of his apparently hopeless case, and wonder ed. iis any passing stranger would, who he ,i ? 4- .i- i ?' un, ?I1U UICW llllll 3U llt'^U^UUJ tttiu statedly to the shop of the marble-worker. 1 " He is a doomed man," replied my com- ^ panion, "and being fully aware that his s time is short, lie is superintending the work I of his own monument." J 1 was startled, and looked my friend 6xedly in the face. " It is a heartless whim," c I exclaimed impatiently, " a living man f watching the progress of his own tomb- 1 stone." 1 " No, not heartless," he replied, " only c singular. Gh*orge Bennet, that is his name, was once a young m;?n of good health and 8 good expectations?by-the-by, that latter ' whs his ruin in a manner; never a more hum- s Me, patiently wailing heir did I see, sirTthan } that saiye young man ; but." ho added with c emphasis, " when his uncle died, and the splendid tortuiie came?hue fortune and no =" mistake, sir?lie was off and away on llie * blond road to dissipation. Beginning with 1 moderate prodigality to rid himself of this 3 gohlun incumbrance, his desires noon knew 1, no bounds. lie gradually threw oft'the restraint* which once a sense of duly, engen- " dered by a mother's pious teachings, had " kept him' under, plunged into fashionable ' follies, forgot CJod, ruined a good constitu- I tioo, and soou sank all but a small portion of his tine legaey. Poor fellow, in his ease s the race was to the swift; but it has ended 1 in his destruction. Now here comes tho romance. In his humbler days he really loved and 1 engaged himself to a Miss Glen, a pretty in- 8 tclligciit girl of Scotch descent, one of the F most amiable creatures I ever knew ; but * she bad only a few thousand, say three tit s tho most, to bring as a wedding uo'wery.? L blie never doubled his trutli, nor would t?ne 1 believe the le:ist rej>oit derogatory to his s reputation. Ah! well, but some Women are c loving and forgiving creatures," soliloquized ' my friend with an Absent air, (ho was a bach- 9 elor,) and for full three miuutcs he wn9 si- ' lent. M Did he ever inarry her ?" I asked with 1 n concealed feeling of impatience. * 41 Never ;" ho exclaimed abruptly, no ; 1 he went to Philadelphia, dangled around a 1 fow golden satellites, froiu thence to Europe, I came back to the States, paid court to a lady of wealth, and would willingly have wed- ] ded her, hut did not, tor the very good run- J son that she learned to despise bis cliarnc ter. j After an abscnce of threo years lie visited ' Boston again, a wreck iii body and foitune. ' I met biui first and well remember bow ] heavily he leaned upon my side as we walk- j ed together through tho old familiar thoroughfares. 11c said nothing about bis proa- 1 pects or disappointment*, but talked of vn- 1 rious subjects, mostly of politics and Eurojie, till we by merest accident stood opposite 1 the old ground?you remembor, Copp's Hill. 1 I r ?'<*/%t ou? tltu# T Iaa hurl Iiaaii An* X lUI^UV IU nnj vuwv x. unu uww ivi many months absent. Bennet expressed a wish to walk through, and did it not seem strange that he made a pause, from very weakness and weariness, opposite a small, smooth, white stone, that was familiar to neither of us ? and when 1 would have led him farther on, he pushed aside the long, damp grass, and full to conning the inseription. Judge of iny surprise, <m well as his remorse, when I read tho following : Sacred to the memory of ALICE GLEX, who died Septerahur 16, 18-, of con?u mption. I Aged 19 year*.

"Three miles," was the reply. "Good j i uck to you," replied the spokesman, "that's j f ?nly a mile apiece for us." j c An Irish cab driver was presented with a ! t hilling at his journey's end, and grumbled j a oudly at the smallucss of the fare. "Fiutli," j j aid he, "it's not putting me off with this . r e'd be if ye knew all." The traveller's \ unosity was excited. "Whntdo you mean?" | "Faith that 'ad bo telling." Another i hilling was tendered. "And now," asked I he gentleman, "what do you mean by say- c ng if you knew but all ?" "That I drove c 'cr honor the last three miles without a 1 ynch pin." t A beggar womnn in the country followed [ i gentleman, to his great annoyance, for I ibout a mile, and on bidding him guod bye ? lad the modesty to ask him for "a little six- l jence." "For what," asked the gentleman, 1 'what have you done for mo ?" "Ah, the 1 ure. haven't I been kcenintr ver honor in liscourse?" Scotch Wit.?Tlio national wit of the ^ Scotch is altogether different from that of e he Irish ; indeed the Scotchman is not witty o much as satirical. If he perpetrates a t >un or a joke it often carries a sling with it. le may raise the laugh, but see if is not at oincbtidy's cost. A meeting of the elders j >f a certain kirk had assembled for the pur- ( >ose of determining about the position of a > .tove for the purpose of wanning a building * >11 Sundays. After considerable discussion, t m old man, who had an opinion, said, "the ] .tove should be placed in the pulpit for it is >y far the coldest place in a' the kirk." English Wit.?'The English arc not fanous for their wit. The national stock conlists rather of a set of conventional sayings, tvhich men agree to laugh at, than of those 1 -ational coruscations of wit which d is tin- 1 juished the Irish character. ' American Wit.?American humor main- ' y consists irr strong exaggerations and is ' ludicrous chiefly from its incongruity. The ( Americans, by pitchforking the most odd iud heterogenous ideas, force you to laugh in spite of yourself. This kind of burlesque Inimor has already become their national type; iu best specimens are to be found in Sam Slick's and Major Doivning's letters/ The ludicrous is a lower order of humor than the witty. It is difficult however to define in what the difference consists, and thus men generally agree to laugh in their own way without defiuitious.?Eliza Cook's Journal.

The Scriptures may there lie seeft and read in ortd hundred and fifly hmgixoyes and dialects; In connection with this the following brieF remarks of an English writer are exceedingly appropriate and will be read with ifilerest: "To many, (says Anderson.) it might seem bold, were we to affirm that the English Bible is at present in the net of beifij# perused frOm the rising to the settifig Atiii; . .,v ,wi mm nij'iib appear nuie else thnn rt ti?Ture of speech, or an event to be anticipated ; and yet thin is no more than tho half of the truth.
