From the Knickerbocker.
cess 01 suamng uieiu up 111 h uutujuiui
was noways slow. Our hero gavo a
lounge install ter.
''Oh, mnrder 1 Let go ! 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." *

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." "With all <1
tnv heart," replied he, "whose wife 1
f?lm!1 1 take?" \ tl
Had I met thee in thy beauty,
"When my heart and hand were free,
When no other claimed the duty I
Which my soul would yield to thee; ,
Had t wooed thee?had I won thee? \
Oh 1 how b)est had been my fate i 1
But thy swoetness hath undone me?
I have found thee?but too late.
Like the fawn that finds the fountain '
With the arrow in his bfeast;
Or the Hght upon the mountain
< Where the snow must ever rest?
Thou hast known mo, but forget me,
For I feel what jlls av/ait;
Oh 1 'lis madness to have met thee?
To have found thoO?but too late I

AJ*Ver daiit" in a Cotton'Mill.
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. Ilis unwhiskerables
being of large calibre, the pro

Tour Neighbors.
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.'
'Indeed 1 But why didn't he say a

"My dear," said Mrs. Dogberry
to her daughter, ."you should not hold
your drees so high in crossing the
street."
ttThen, ma, replied the maiden,
"how shall I ever show the beauty of
my flounced pantaletts that have almost
ruined my eyesight to manufacture
? 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.
The Buffalo Republican gives utterance
to tho following truthful statement: "In
this country no young man need be unemployed.
Wealth and respectability are conditions
to which ho may attain. lie has no
right to be ignorant; he has no time to be
vicious, and, generally speaking, no man has
a right to bo poor."
Good at Guessing.?"Well Pat,
which is the way to Burlington ?"
"How did \'ou know my namo was
Pat?'
"O, I guessed it."
"Thin, be the powers, if vo are so
good at guessing, ye'd better guess the
way to iSurlington."
Kindness is more powerful than
force, r other four story institutions.
A mild, sweet look from a pretty girl
will do more toward bringing down
irascible corduroy than huge blows or
bellicose tongues. Try on a pair and

"Natuh is natur," and will show itself.
It is as impossible to ride along
side of a woman in a railroad car without
getting your arms around lior neck,
as it is to look at strawberries without
wishing for loaf sugar and cream.
"I understand your father is dead/'
said a man to a little boy as he entered
the house. "You're right now, old
hoss," replied the boy, "ne'slai4out in
the other room as cold as a wedge."
'Mister, where's your bouse?" asked
a curious traveller ofa half-horse, halfaligator
squatter. "IIouso, eh? D'ye
think I'm one o' that sort, stranger ? I
sleeps in the prairie?I eats raw buffalo,
and drinks out o' the Mississippi."
That was a right smart medical student
at the west, who, when asked how far ho had
advanced in his studies, replied?
"I've got as far as salts.'
A Mrs. Campbell, of Canojol.aric,

LOENARD SCOTT <k CO., New-York, continue
to re-puli]S*h the follow British Periodicals, fix:
1. The London Qauktkrly (Conservative)

THE present critical state of European af- *j?
fairs will render these publications unusually
interestfyg during the forthcoming
year. They a ill occupy a middle ground
between the hastily written news-items,
crude speculations end flying rumor* of the daily
Journal, and the ponderous Tomp of
the future historian, written after the living
interest and excitement of the great political
events of the time ahall have passed away. It
is to these Periodicals that readers must look
for the only really intelligible and reliable
history of current events, and as such, in addition
to their well-established literary, scientific,
and, theological character, we urge
them upon the consideration of the reading
public.
Arrangements are now permanently made
for the receipt of Early Sheets from the
British Publishers by which we are enabled
to place All our raimintg in the bands of
subscribe**, about as soon as tbey can be tarnished
with the foreign copies. Although
this involves a very large outlay ou our part,
we shall continue to furuish the Periodicals
at the same low rates as heretofore, vis:?
