If thereto anything in the world that will make, a man fool bad, it is a quarrel. No manvever failed to think less of himself after than ho did before one. It degrades him in the eyes of himself and others, blunts bis sensibility of disgrace, and increases his passions in irritability. The Court of Common P.buis, for the last week, hu8 done but little else than try cases of assault and battery. Who is b neRtted by such things? The whqjle matter, when footed up in court, amounts to rggfctB, soil-reproach, illa ^feeMBk dam^&s, flfed enorniongjjlaw^ V^MR PeopPRrho do not wish to fraternize with tne'ge^.cmon who flourish with those littlc^undles of papers, i ird up with rod'fhpc, should kfcup as cool and as quiet as possible.

The-primary cause of the quarreling is Chair Jbllv. A man or woman never puts foot iu any such cross-grain institution unlcst they first lot their brains get a little out of balance. The atmospheric pressure-on "tho 1 surface of the earth. - is near fifteen pounds a square inch. The weight or pressure of water, is about seven ounces per square inch - foot of its depth. 845 cubic feet of uir are as heavy as one cubic foot of water, . ^ Ik n fool kuo'ws a secret, he tells it because he is a fool: if a knave knows one, ho tells it whenever it is his interest to tell it. But women, and young men, are-v ery apt to tell wnat secrets 1 they know, from the vanity of having 1 been trusted. Trust none of these, 1 whenever^you can help it.

"Which is T\ot a very nnedftunon thing with a certain individual of my acquaintance, Sam," I remarked. "Prczactly," sakl Sam. "Well, T was hard up, ana wondering how I could make the smalldfet muount of capital to tell to the tallest ^prantage, when, on taking up a noosptrper, I saw a windy parrygraph on the advantages of advertising. The article went on to illustrate how nrany fellefs had made their piles out of the meanest capitals simply by advertising, and I determined at wunce, pertickcrly aal had raised an idea from the subjeck, tbat it was the way for mo to go about it." "What was the wity ?" I inquired, not comprohcnding him. -1 .'i m Huvaixiung," returned bam. "YeB, well; you said something about going about. Going about what ?" "Raising a pile," .returned Sam.

"I urged the matter this way," said Sam, "that advertisement?' travelled wherever the paper travelled and everybody knows they go iuto all the out-' o way places in the State. So, thinks I, a good advertisement will bo sure to ketch the eye of some of the softest of the interior, and if it docs, who knows but what they Will give a feller a lift?

"And that did not take you long 1 >am, of course." * 1 "Yer might bet a barrel of Monon- 1 jvhaly on that, Bob, with all thechan- 1 res to win," replied Sam. *'Yer see ' he other merchants in the town?and ome on 'em drive a. stiff business, 1 ( ell you?couldn't come within a thon- ( and miles of me in price. - I could un- ' lersell tlieir boots off on 'em, and they ^ rouldn't help themselves.

Yankee Humor, Captain Basil Hall, when lie traveled in this country, found the Yankees a people entirely destitute of wit.jind humor. Perhaps our gravity, whiajUj ought to have put him on the rigtft scent, deceived him. I do nofkuowji more perfect example of wit man something, which, as 1 hav^Mleard, wassaid to the Captain himself. Stop- ; ping fit a village inn there came up a thunder-storm, and Captain Hall, surprised that a new country should have reached such perfection in those metreoligical manufactures, said to a bystander. "Why, you have very heavy thunder hero." "Well, yes," replied be man, "we du, eonsiderin' the number of inhabitants." Here is another story, which a stage Iriver told me onco: A wag on the mtside of the coach called to a man yy the roadside who was fencing some /ery poor land?"I say, mister, what ire you fencing that pasture for ? It you ia tuKe forty acres on't to starve a Middle-sized cow." "Jesse ; und I'm 'encing of it to keep eour kettle cout." f "iNow, in the "forty acre" part of he story, we have an instance of what , s called American exaggeration, aud * vhich I take to l>c the symptom of t nost. promise in Yaukec fun. For it , narks that desire for intensity of ex- ( >rewion, which i6 the phase of imagi- t lation. Indeed, many of those say- fi ngs are purely imaginative?as where ] i man said of a painter he knew, that i 'he painted a shingle so exactly like 1 narblc, than when it fell into #the river | tsank." A man told mo once thattho * people of a certain country town were 3 io universally dishonest, "that they 1 iad to take in their stone walls at ; light," In BOirve of these stories, im- | igination appears yet more strongly md in that contradictory union with j the understanding which lies at the , root of the highest humor. For example, a coachman driving up some i mountains in Vermont, was asked ii" if they were as steep on the other side also ? "Steep! chainNghtn' couldn't go down 'em withoout the brecchm' on1" I believe that thero is more latent humor among the American people than in any other, And it will one day develop itself and find expression through V..f T T> T 7/>- *r ?mt V. v .
