Yon hurt! ; Blast your picture,' let go! Aint you , ashamed ! Oct out! Let alone 011 1110, do?can't ye?" The card-stripper threw of the belt, but the momentum of the cylinder kept * it revolving, and our hero, supposing it , in full operation, burst out anew: 4 Oil, stop her, stop her, do ! I aint well, and orter be at home. Father wants the steers, and mother wants to bake. Stop the tarnel, masheen, can't ye? Pol Aint ye got no feel in'for a feller in distress ? Oh, dear! I'll l>e carded and spun and made into lockets 1 Jc?ru?sa?lom ! How I ( wish I was to Green 1" ( The card was stopj>ed at last, but Jon- ( athan'sclothes were so entangled in the gearing that it was no slight task to ; extricate him, and it was only by cutting out the whole of the "invested territory" that he was finally released. Kind, but Simple.?Two sailors. 1 One Irish and the other English, agreed reciprocally to take care of each other, < in case of either being wounded Tn.an 1 action to commence. It was not long 1 before the Englishman's leg was shot off by a cannon ball; and on his calling t U? Paddy to carry him to the doctor, according to the agreement, the other ' very reiuuiy compiieu ; out no una 11 scarcely got his wounded companion on his hack, when a second ball struck off the poor fellow's head. Paddy, t who through the noiso and disturbance J common in a sea engngomon1", had not g ]?orceiyed his friends last misfortune, <] continued to make the bast of his way n to the surgeon. An officer, observing b biin with a headless trunk upon his shoulders, asked where he was going, vi "To the doctor," says Paddy. ti "The doctor ?" says the officer, "why, a yon blockhead, the man has lost his ^ head." On hearing this, he ffnng the body from his shoulders, and loosing at it very attentively, "By me sowl, ? says ho,f"he told ine it was his leg." * _ - f Tom Sheridan, the English orator ti and wit, was a wild dog when young, u Ono day his father snid to him, ''Take fj u wife, Torn, and rcionn."

A raw, straw-hatted, sandy-whiskered, sixfoot gawky, one of the purely uninitiated, came recently from Greene country with a load of wood for a factory company. Not satisfiod with contemplating the "poetry of motion" at a safe distance, our hero must needs introduce himself between the cards, to get a nearer view. This move brought his upther habiliments into a dangerous proximity to the next card, and thereby hangs p talc. "You, I say 1 She goes pooty, don't ] she, boss ?" said Jonathan, inquiringly, j "She<4on't do nothing else," respon- , decl tbe stripper, liut you must oe i very careful now you move around i this hard-ware; 'twas only last week, sir, thiit a promising young man from Oxford, a student at college thorc, was j drawn into that very card and beforo > any assistance could reach him, he was I run through and manufactured into No. 16 snper extra cotton warp yarn!" "I s?s?now 1 I believe you're joking!" stuttered Jonathan. , "Fact, sir," continued tho stripper ; , "and his disconsolate mother came down two days ago, and got live bunches of that same yarn as ifaelaucholy relics." "By the poker, that can't be true f' "Fact sir, fact 1 And each of his fellow students purchased a skein a piece, to be set in lockets, and worn in rememberance of departed worth." "Is that a fact, dow ? Was he really carded, spun, and set in lockets ?" A sense of personal danger shot , across our hero s mind; he began to retreat precipitately, without awaiting for an answer. But there was not much room to spare between himself aqd the gearing card behind. Another step backward completed the ceremony of introduction.

Don't let them stir without watching. , rhey may do something wrong if you do. To be sire, you never knew* Jhem do anything very bad, but it {pay be on your account they have not. Perhaps if it had not been for jour kind care, ibey might have disgraced themselves and their families along time ago. Therefore, Jon't relax any effort to keep them where :hey ought to bo : never mind your business, that will take care of itself. But there U a man passing along?there he is lookiug over the fence into his neighbor's garden?be suspicions of him, perhaps he contemplates stealing something some of these dark nights, there is no knowing what queer fancies may get into his head. If you see any symptoms of any one stepping out of the path of rectitude, don't say any wing to the erring individual about it, but tell every one that you see, and be particular to see a great many. It is a good way to circulate such things, and though it may not benefit yourself nor any one else in particular, it will be something to tallk about for awhile ; and by the time they get tired of that, be sure to discover something equally important about some one else. Do keep something a goinjjj, silence is a dreadful thing; though it is said there was silence in the Courts of Heavon for the space of half an hour, don't let any such thing occur on earth, it would be too much like Heaven for tho inhabitants of this mundane sphere. If, after all your watchful care, you can't see anything out of the way in any one, you may be sure it is not because they have not done anything wrong?perhaps in an unguarded moment you lost sight of them?throw out hints they are no better than they should be, that you i ihould not wonder if people found out what thoy were after a while, aud that they may not always carry their heads so high. Keep it a going, and someone will take the hint, and begin to help you nftcr awhile?then there will bo music, aud eveything will work to a charm. He Always IIad Them.?Dobbs rushed to the doctor's with terror depictod on his visage in unmistakable characters. He looked pale; his nostrils were dilated; and tliet^ was an uneasy look in his eyes. The doctor noticed it instantly, and inquired, with as little exhibition of excitement as the case admitted of? "Why, what's the matter, Dobbs ?" Dobbs dropped into a chair in allgone a-tives, peculiarly touching. "I do'no," lie said: "I believe I'm going to have the small-pox. I've got the first sympton sure." "Why said the doctor how do you feel ?" "O, I do'no, hardly," replied he; but I feel a groat reluctance to doing anything." [The fellow had been reading Qunn's domestic Medicine.] The Doctor inquired how he had the symptoms. "Well," said Dobbs, "I've always had 'em!" . "The docter was "sold." Dobbs' case was evidently "past all surgery.'1 Too Hion Now.?The late Judge Pearce, of the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio, was a noted wag. A yonng man was once making Ins first effort before him, and had thrown himself, on the wings of imagination, so far to upper regions, and was seeming Iv preparing for a higher ascent, when the juagc struck his rule two or three times on the desk, exclaiming to the antonished orator? "Hold on, hold on, my dear sir. Don't go on higher, for you are already out of the jurisdiction of the court in which you are engaged." "Did he not make several visits after the patient was out of danger ?" was the question of a lawyer, in cross examining a witness called to prove a doctor's hill in one of onr justice's courts a few days since. "No I" replied the witness, "I thought the patient was in danger as long as the doctor continued his visits. , Wo overheard, the other day, a dialogue between two little boys, which utilised us r 'What do you think, my father, tlio 3thcr day, shot nine hundred and ninety-nine pigeons with one barrel of Ilis gun.'

I am sure I don't care if the beaux do look at me." ; Mrs. Dogberry spoke of the "sin of vanity, and tho beauty of decorum," and walked off into the chamber. A fair and gentle reader furnishes us a passing incident; "Our Emmy (who has just seen her fourth summer) asked at breakfast, "what day is this I" On being told that it was wednostlay, she said: "Ah don't I know it's Sunday; didn't I hear the birds singing f' Sweet innocent she could only associate tho happy carolling of tho birds, with tho God appointed sabbath of tho world.
