A jovial, tight old band?
Forgive this foolish tear,
But let that old jug stand.

Close as thy corn-cob friend ;
Around thee, still, I'll ever sing,
And on a bender bend.

Anger is the most important passion

It may be remarked, for the comfort

If you 6uppro83 the exorbitant love

Fools measure fictions, after they are
done, by the event; wise men beforehand,

The former look to the end to judge ol

Wo get^lrom tlio Boston Gazette a
very good story of a wife, whoej^ husband
Was a very worthy prfitfcical
m^inber off he Order of Free Masons.
It seems that one evening a bundle
game to the house, marked for him,
ud labelled "Private." Of course
?piB was sufficient for female curiosity,
and. therefore she indulged in an inspection.
llorror of horrors 1 Blan
B&tAfbaby's linen, &c., greeted her astonished
eyesight, and dreams of " two
families" floated through her brain.
The husband soon came in, and after
tea, when his wife discovered in his
eye the treachery of liis conduct, as
sho supposed, he took the bundle and
went out?but not alone, for tho jealous
wife was on his track. The faithless
husband little imagined that she
who supposed herself so foully wronged
was hovering aft or him. lie stopped
at the house of a friend, who also
joined him in carrying a similar bundle.
Tho wife become donbly excited,
for tlm nrnfinorfc of hnvmtr r mmrnn.
ion in misery did not impress her with
the idea of a division of ner grief, but
only an addition to it. She followed
closely, and soon they halted beforo a
small tenement, which they entered.
Here she paused to hold a council of
war. What tactics to follow she was
in doubt, but determined at length to
storm the citadel. She knocked, and
hastily brushed by a little child, and
in a second burst upon the astonished
husband, tho embodiment of injured
innocence. Her feelings were
about to express themselves, when tho
scene before her caused her to reflect.
A poor woman on a sick bed, a babe
not old enough for christening, a child
in a crib, and two little girls in a bed
met her eye. She read the story at a
glance, and returned homo under escort
of her husband and his friend, who
asdured her that she had discovered
the great secret of Masonry.
Fbench FouteKess.?French politeness
lias become proverbial. I ao not
think, however, the characteristic aimed
at is well understood, or such.a term
would not bo used. If by politeness
we mean good hcartcdnc&s, that seeks
others' pleasure, it is sudly misapplied.
It is the pride of one class to appear
civil, well-bred; of the tradesman it is
their interest to be almost servile; but
outside of these we encounter the
rudest beings on earth. A French lady
gives you a welcome, and you feel
that it is from the lips, however choice
the phrase or expressive the manner.
You go to purchase an article, and the
shopman or shopwoman comes to you
with a manner that 6eeins to eav,
"Jlere is a dear friend, what can I Jo
for her ? There is tho long lost sister
just returned from America?the beautiful
sister?tho sister not beloved but
worshipped. What can be done in this
shop for this good relative? Would it
be pleasant to take it all?would it be
well to lie nothing hut a 6lave to this
dear friend?" "Well, after a deal of
talk?all on ono side, for you can
scarcely get in a word?you purchase
some article and take it home to discover
that you have been cheated most
ridiculously, paying for a worthless
thing. The proprietor of a store into
which I can look whoro I sit is a fair
specimen of this class, lie is a tall
spare man, with a black beard oiled to
the last extent. Ho has an eternal
simper?I cannot call it smile?on his
countenance, while his back is made up
of hinges. You have only to watch
the deception and cheating of a dozen
to realize your own case.?Extract
from Hell /Smith's JHook.
A Contented Fabmsb.?We are glad
to find on record an anecdote apparently
authentic, of a farmer contcntod
with his crop. The Cincinnati Commercial
of last Monday, after stating
that a friend who lias recently returned
from a tour through Northern and
Southern Illinois, confirms all the previous
accounts 01 the vast graiu erops
now on the ground and being gathered
in that country, adds the following:
Between St. Louis and Yincennes
a great deal of wheat is rotting on the
ground, for want of labor or machinery
to secure it. Oor informant hailed one
well to do o'd farmer near Cariylc Station,
who, though half a dozen plethoric
stacks stood guard round his barn,
seemed to have abandoned twonty. or
thirty acres of fine wheat, and asked
" why iu the worVl don't voa harvest
that grain V1 " Lord," drawled out
the fanner, looking towards the barn,
uL-0-r-d, I've got enough."
As little Freddy and his father wore
^ walking alongside the public square,
' on one of our recent windy days, a
man's Jiat blew OH, and after ik started
, tlio man, at full speed. "Look, pal"
6aid the admiring Freddy, " see that

of H ri.Misa., ossemblffat a N
ctaMfh to celebrate the 4th of July, by
reSBig the Declaration of Iiraepena- r
enoe and Washington's Farewell Address.
An old gentleman, coming in Q
rather late, walked up near the pulpit t)
while Washington'uJLddress Was being t]
read. The old piqHHtened until be
heard " Against th^Thsidione wires of .
foreign influence, I conjure you. to be- ?
liove mo, fellow -citizens, the jealousy
of a free pdbple ought to be constantly
awake, since history and experience ^
prove that foreign influence is one of c
the most banefhl foes of ^publican government."
When "this was read ne j
threw up his hat in a passion and left
the house. At the door he met some ^
friends: "Gentlemen," said he, "I
came here to celebrate the 4th of July, j
and hear the Declaration of Independence

Whitfield.?Tho eloquence of tlic 1
celebrated Whitfield, it is 6aid, was at 0
times irresistible. The accomplished j
sceptic, Chesterfield, was present when t
tms popular preacher presented the e
votary of sin under the figure of a g
blind beggar led by a little aog. The
dog baa broken the string. The
blind beggar, with his staff between both
hands, unconsciously groped his
way to the side of a precipice. As he
felt along with his staff, it dropped
down the descent, too deep to send
back an echo. lie sought it on tho
ground, and, bending forward, took r
one careful step to recover it. But he
trod on vacancy, poised for a moment, i
and then fell headlong. Chesterfield 1
sprang from his seat, exclaiming: " By *

thcmatician, in conversation with a
young friend of his upon tho import- ance
of system in studying, as well as 1
everything else, took a piece of paper 1
and wroto off for him the following 1
rules: 1. Learn one thing at a time. c
2. Learn that thing well. 3. Learn its
connections, as far as possible,with all
other things. 4. Believe that to know
everything of something, is better than
to know something of everything.
On tue AVkonq Train.?A few {
nights since some young men, going
from Columbus to Cincinnati, in the (
cars, were getting rather noisy and profane,
a gentleman in a white cravat, c
tapped ono of them on the shoulder j
with tho remark, c
" Young man, do yon know you are \
on the road to hell ?"
" That's just my luck," said one of t
tho party, " I took a ticket for Cincinnati,
and I've got on tho wrong train."
Advice Gratis.?In calling for a letter
at the post oflice, always ask, " Any- '

and when informed "No," don't be- j

ask the post master when lio exjiects ono
