Dear Price:?At the r\dt of boing considered
a bore, we cannot refrain from asking you to republish
the following capital lines. They will
suit you editors pretty well, we think, ar.d nt the
tauic time prove a warning to "intruders."
AN EDITOR'S SANCTUM.
*
Ax editor oat on n'lofty stool,
A very long pen was stuck in his ear.
Before him , roductions from rogue nml tool,
In hieroglyphics not over clear,
lie opened one, and he opened all,
More like a machine than a man,
(IIow imperturbable editors nre,)
And thus the medley ran :
Are you for raising the duty on tea?
What's become of the Pope ?
When will the next revolution be ?
Arc you pretty well off for soap |i
Oblige ino by stating the longest night?
Isn't Fanny Kcinble rather skittish?
Don't you think, if it come to a fight,
We Yankees can lick the British ?
Can a policeman, legally knock mcdown,
If 1 ask the way to Algier's ferry ?
When is the brave Kossuth coming to town?
Whom did Forest, the netor marry ?
Did Quiney Adams ever make his will ?
Who first danced the polka?
Have you seen Burrow's patent eorn-mill ?
Whore's our new Governor Walker ?
? '
Is President Louis, of France,
A relation of our city Sheriff
Have you seen Ma'mselle Hilariol dance?
Will Congress alter the tariff?
Pray, what is meant by "going it fast f"
And being "in a state of corn?"
When did Washington breathe his last?
Are you fond of "Inking n horn?"
Do you think that cotton and corn will rise ?
What the#rigin of Pass-over day ?
Hasn't Mrs. Howard got beautiful eyes ?
Did you ever see Henry Clay ?
Do you think Mr. Jorc w ill he'looted Mayor?
Is it true there ore men with tails?

"Why don't lliey quicken the mails I
Now entered the office an inky youth,
A mass of most picturesque splashing;
Twould nave <lonc him good, a drive for truth
If but for the sake of the washing.
Awaiting the editor's orders he stood, O'?
No emotion his tattooed face tinted;
Comets and corn were the same to him,
lie did not care what was printed.
The editor handed the hoy a list
That would cover a drawing-room floor.
And said, "Just insert the initials, and say
We have answered their questions before."
Th en he savagely fell to biting his pen,
(An unsatisfactory ration,)
And said to the hoy, "You can state again
llow immense is our circulation."
The editor sat on a lofty stool.
Before him a sheet <>f foolscap lay;
So many subjects claimed his pen,
That he hesitated what to say :
But trhen If thought of the dug* gone by.
From his heart there came forth sighs ;
And to "post uj)" his friends aright,

An Honest Boy.
'That is right, my boy,' said the merchant,
smiling approvingly upon the bright face of
liis shop boy. lie had brought him a dollar
that lay among the tlust and paper of the
sweepings.
'That is right,' he said again ; always be
honest; honesty is the best policy.'
'Should you say that ? asked the lad tim- 1
idly.
'Should I say what ? that honesty is the 1
best policy? Why, it's u time honored
old saying. I don't know about the elevating
tendency of the thing ; the spirit is rather
narrow I'll allow.'
'So grandmother taught me,' replied the
boy ; 'she said we should do right, because
hod approved it, without thinking what man
should say.' 1
The merchant turned abruptly towards
the desk and the thoughtful faced little lad
resumed his duties.
In the course of the morning a rich and j '
influential citizen called at the store. While;
conversing, lie said, 'I have no children of
iny own, and I fear to adopt one. My experience
is that a boy of twelve (the .age 1
should pcfer) is fixed in his habits and they ('
are bad' 1
'Stop 1' said the merchant, 'Jo you see I
that lad yonder V
'With that noble brow ? Yes, what of 1
him. J
"lie is remarkable'
Yes, yes?that's what every body tells me *
who has boys to dispose of. No doubt he'll (
do well enough before your face. I've tried '
a good many, and have been deceived more 1
than once.'
'I was going to say,' remarked tho merchant
camly, 'that he is remarkable for principle.
Never have 1 known him to deviate t
from the right, sir?never, lie would restore] i
ft pin ; indeed, (the merchant colored,) lie's 4
little too honest for my employ. He points i
out flaws 111 goods, mid I cannot teach hiin ]
prudence in that respect. Common pru- i
deuce, you kno^, is?is?common?com- 1
mon?prudence?ahem !' I
The stranger made no assent, and the |
merchant hurried on to say : <
'Ho was a poor parish orphan?taken hy <
an old woman out of pity, when y? t a babe. (
Poverty has been liis lot. No doubt he has i
suffered from hunger and cold uncounted j
times; his hands have been frozen so have his t
feef. 8ir, that boy would have died rather r
than be dishonest. I can't account for it, <
upon my word him ? s
Have you any claim upon him ? 1
Not the least in the world, except what i
common benevolence offers. Tndeed the boy j
is entirely too good for me.
'Then I will adopt liim, and if I have ,
found one really honest boy, thank God.'
The little fellow rode homo in a carriage,
and was ushered into a luxurious hoino ; and I
he who sat shivering in a cold corner, listening
to the words of a poor old creuturo, who
had been taught of the spirit, become one of
greatest divines that England over produced.
'They that honor me, I will honor.'

A Social Bear.
The following curious eircumstaneo, which
is said to be true in every particular, is related
in Lloyd's Scandinavian Adventurers:'
'Two women with four children, were
tending their cattle at a shoaling far from
home. It was the duty of ono woman to
tend tho cattle in the forest, w hile the other
occupied herself with household matters, and
in looking after the children. It so happened,
however, 011 tho 23rd of last September,
that while one of the women, as usual, watched
the cattle, the other absented herself for a
short time, on a visit to a neighbor, leaving
tho children altogether to themselves. JSlie
had not been long away before they perceived
two largo brown animals which they took
to he cows, 011 the outside of the fence, bordering
the patch of posture ground contigu
ous to the hut. All children aro curious
and indifferent to danger. Without consideration,therefore,
then climbed the fence, and
made up to the creatures. When the animals
became aware of the near approach of
the children, the larger of the two compelled
the smaller to lie down at the foot of a tall
pine, and then crouched its side, as if to pro
feci it from harm. Whereupon the least of
tlie children?that of two years of age?
without hesitation toddled directly up to the
animal, and laid itself down likewise, with
its head resting upon the belly of the. larger
one, humming at the same time some nursery
song, as if reposing on its mother's lap!
The other children remained the while quiet
spectators of the scene. When, however,
the oldest had come to the conclusion that
it was not a cow, but a bear, as was the fact,
that the child was toying with, she become
sorely affrighted. Meanwhile the infant,
who could not remain long in the same position,
presently rose from his hairy couch,
gathered some blue berries growing hard by,
and gave them to his bed fellow the bear,
who immediately ate them out of the babe's
hand ! The child next plucked a sprig from
a neighboring bush, and offered it to the
beast, who hit it in two, allowing the child
to retain one half.'
"Peeping Behind the Curtain"
"Kick him off the side-wallc, hoys ; he's
no business lying here drunk, ihunken
men deserves to be abused ; and the inside
of a prison for sixty days might benefit them
too.
Yes?kick him, boys. lie's a brute now ;
don't attempt to make a man of Idin ! l>o
not lift liirn up and whisper a kind word in
his ear?you might he laughed at.
Kicking won't harm him, his blood don't
flow as other men's ; and then, if he should
wake to-morrow upon a couch, and find a
pair of anxious eyes watching over him, it
might ruin his intellect?he might imagine
it a dream and become insane at the thought
that there was kindness in this lower world!
J.istcn, boys?young men, we will style
you?that man's name is Harmon, lie has,
as von have, a kind mother, who often
breathes a secret prayer for her erring child.
Her locks are whitened bv the frosts of many
winters, her eyes dim with age, and wrinkles
of care and anxiety arc perceptible on
her forehead.
Would you pour bitterness into the heart
of that mother, and hasten her departure to
a brighter home? Then add insult to injury
by abusing him who abuses himself.
That man has a wife?a young wife who
loves even the drunkard. She can point to
the day when no poison had ever passed his
lips?when he was a man, ay, when she
considered him a model for all men. Her
rapidly heating heart watched his downward
course, and silent whispers to her
Father in heaven have ascended for the redemption
of the fallen one. O, how nidcntly
she pleaded with him in his sober moments.
I low fondly her arms twined around
his neck, while eyes swimming in tears, looked
into his for the utterance of a vow that
would not be broken! J low she prayed
that "others" might assist him to rise from
lbs degraded position?might not tempt
Ibin still further ami ruin her hopes forever.
Have you a heart that can resist that appeal
No, young man, do not heed that demon
who says, "Kick him from the side walk!"
Itathor assist him to rise and pour oil upon
lbs wounds. Though self-styled friends look
upon you with contempt, Clod will reward
rou with a smile.

The Beggar and the Congressman.
On Friday last, a lady beggar gained admittance
to tho rotunda of the Capitol, notwithstanding
the watchfulness of the officers,
who assiduously endeavored to keep mendicants
fioiu annoying porsons engaged in
government duties. Among other persons
whom she approached for aid, was a member
of Congress, whom she did not know as
such, to whom she told a piteous tale of distress.
She was, she said, five hundred miles
away from homo, without the means to get
there, her husband was sick, her children in
want, etc. "Indeed, madam," replied the
member, (desiring to get rid of bcr impunity,)
"I am in a worso predicament I am
nine hundred miles awny from home, haven't
a red cent, and expect every moment to be
arrested for board, and may be confined in
I prison, on account of difficulties I have unfortunately
got into." The Honorable wiped
away a tear, as others fell trickling down
the cheeks of tho "poor woman." "Indeed, my
good lady," said he, "I have had nothing to
cat for a week. I fool like hanging myself,
I am in such distressed circumstances."?
Her heart was melted. She drew out her
them from the post-office, and opened a correspondence
with her proxy lover. Sonic
two months passed away, when the young
man wound up l?y a direct proposal, and insisted
on an immediate answer; averring at |
the same time that he thought the tone of
| her letters very different from those received
| when he first left Cincinnati, and upbraided
! his fair love with inconstancy. This last
{ epistle was too much for our romantic incognito,
and being conscience smitten for the
; part she had been acting, and fully persuadj
ed that some other lady had been pining for
i the man she was wooing, sought her out,
| and delivered up the letters to the rightful
I owner. The matter was speedily arranged,
j and the real lovers have since become united
i in tlie bauds of wedlock.
An Asiatic chief, being asked his opinion
of wine remarked that lie tho't it was a juice
extracted from a woman's tongue and a lion's
heart, for after he had drank enough of it,
| he could live forever and fight the devil.
A Cixcinnatti paper states that several
thousand barrels of Swine's blood is used in
that city every year for the manufactory of
sweet v ine. That's an item for winQ drinkers.
The Troy Whig states that Judge Ilronson
has lost nearly his entire fortune by the
failure of the Empire Stone Jttessing Company.
A Technical Joke.?The printer who
has nothing but 'the devil to pay' may think
himself lucky.
A sailor about being married, could
not find change enough for the parson's
fees. The Itcverend gentlemen, unwilling
to tie A couple without the accustomed
fee, demurred. Jack, placing
his hand in his pocket, drew out
a few shillings, saying: 'Never mind,
brother, marry us as tar as it will go.'
A Frkncii paper speculating upon
the prospect of a war between this
country and Great Britain, amusingly
says that the war would bo between,
one Englishman and an Englishman
and a half; meaning that an American
is an Englishman and n half in combat.

If the following anec<loto of the cccontric
Judge Dooly, of Georgia, has
ever appeared in print, it has escaped
our observation. Upon ono occasion,
when he was to hold court in Rabun
county, npon coming into the Court
House on the morning of the first day
lie found such an incessant cracking of
chestnuts and chinkapins, that he
found it utterly impossible to do business.
Grand jurors and petit jurors,
lawyers, loafers 'witnesses' and officers
of the court, were all deeply engaged
I in tho dilightful occupation. In this
dilemma, tno judge concluded that lie
would adjourn court until tho next
morning. Of this he informed tho
lawyers and the sheriff, and then turning
to turning to the jurors, said he,
'I dismiss you until to-morrow 11101*%
ing at nine o'clock ; and I will take it
as o particular favor, if the grand jurors
will confine themselves to chestnuts,
and the petit jurors to chinkapins,
that I may be enabled to distinI

The mind is continually laboring to

gradations of excellence, towards

which we must always follow because
