It may be he is about to yield! But, ah ! if in this fearful hour he should receive a letter from a devoted mother or foiul sister, ' breathing into his ear the pure scnti- k incuts of anxious solicitude and affection ; as he traced each lino, and remciubercd that they were written by i' her who had watched his infantile steps aright, and was now so deeply l1 solicitous that he should still pursue I "the way that lie should go;" as the'1 sunny smiles and merry prattling voice of a "dearly beloved sister comes rising ' up before him like beauteous angels of ' the past, he would remember her warm ' affection, and this 44 winged messenger of love" would transport him back to;1 the days of his innocence, surrounded i1 by tlio loved ones at home, strength' would bo imparted to resist the impor- j1 tunities of the vicious and dissolute,! and thy son?thy brother?would hei saved.

Some people's tongues are continu- = ally emulating tlie frog in the old fable, and always straining into an ox?a state of verbal alike ridiculous and f false. They are those which never ex- 1 perience a moderate and occasional degree of pain, but they speak of it as a ' 44 splitting " head-ache, an 44 awful " spasm, or 44 dreadful" torture! If they ' meet with a slight incision of the skin, they have 44 cut their linger to the 1 hone," the application of a mustard ? plaster for fivo minutes nover fails to ? 44 Ha}' them alive," a common cold is mentioned seriously 44 as a most violent * influenza," and a week or two of fever 11 is regarded as a 44 severe and frightful ? illness."

Let r those people repeat a story or circum- ^ stance, and you can hardly detect the * original; they see everything through " a magnifying <rlnss and kaleidoscope 1 blended. Talk ot paintings, veritable 1 colors, the foreground and outlines, often given in mere words, beat the pre- J Itaph noli tea by notches; a Dutch gar den all tulips and jwacocks, or a sum- { iner sunset all purple and gold, are soft 1 and unimposing, compared to the lim- . ning power of one of these lluentsign- 1 painters.

If this were to pro- ^ ceed, as it is believed it does, without i interruption, it will descend to a point Q at which all vitality is imjiosaible, and | most of necessity.

The moon has neither atmosphere such us ours nor twilight. The ( equatorial temperature of the moon must, therefore, be lower than that of the earth. The length of her day and 1 night, too, are other added conditions equally favorable cither to animal or l vegetable life. The surface of the most distai t planet may jmssibly, it is *] argued, have once been the theatre of activo lite; that is, at a period andduring such period as was determined by her cooling down and romaining at the temperature suitable for such circumstances. The gradual process of cool- < ing from radiation, which is going on f even now, in time will stop the wheels i of vital existence. il HUMORIST'S OLIO. Tavern Anecdotes Two men, Brown and Smith, were llscussing the curiosities they had seen n travelling. "Tell ye what, Brown," Rays Smith, 1 I've seed somethin' in my time." "So have I," was tho rejoinder, 1 I've seen war, I have." " Ye'd better believe I've seen war. was in brazil while a riot was gr.ir:' n, and I seed the soldiers fire the larnedest ammunition ever heard on."

Of course the drinks were called for, vlien, having paid the bill, No. ,2 took lis turn, while the crowd gathered eagerly around to see if such an adept at ncndacity could lie beaten. 44 Well," says No 2, 441 was one time 11 the Kast Ingces.

Having stated the facts .] as he witnessed them, Mr. M. was handed over to tlie plaintiffs counsel for cross examination. The counsel was of a notorious per- i son age. lately on the Fillmore electoral ticket, a Mr. Youngman, of an adjoining village. " Mr. Mcginnis," he began, with n pompous look, " please to remember that you are npoti your oath, and then repeat the statement that the prisoner was drunk." 1 " I will, sir," replied Mr. M.; "to the best of my knowledge and tlie evidence of my senses, he was intoxicated." "Ah ! your senses, eh ?" said Youngman, with a sneer; " and what might be the evidence of your senses ? Pray explain." " Well, in the first place, be staggered to my sight, smelt to my olfactories, and uttered language in my curs, like nothing but a drunken man." " Humph ! the first two amount to nothing. "What did he say that appeared incoherent I" "Why, he declared you were an honest man," said Mr M. 44 What 1" cried Youngtnan,44 do you mean to insult me?" "By no means, sir," said Mr. M. in all suavity, and .with a bland smile peculiar to himself; "but 1 have so ire(iiiently heard him call you a scoundrel, that I am confident nothing but whiskey could havc so radically changed his opinion!" Printers' Jokes.?During the Mexican war, one of the newspapers hurriedly announced an important item of news from Mexico, that General Pillow and 37 of his men had been lost in a bottle. Somo other paper informed the public, not long ago, "That a man in brown surtout was yesterday brought before the police court on a charge of having stolen a small ttx from a lady's work bag. The stolen property was found in his waistcoat pocket." " A 4 rat? " says another paper,44 de 8cendiug the river, came in contact with a steamboat; and so serious was the injury to the' boat, that great exertions wore necossary to save it." An English paper once stated,44 that the Russian General Rackinoffkowskv was found dead with a long word in l his mouth." It was perhaps the same paper that. | in giving a description of a battle be-1 t ween the Poles and Russians, said that! 44 the conflict was dreadful, and that the enemy was repulsed with great laughter" Again : 44 A gentleman was ycstcrdav brought up to answer a charge of 1 1 ( o i ( o having eaten a stage driver, for de-| mantling more thsm hi.s fare." A i.oxo winded, prosy minister, in | Connecticut, becoming very unpopular with his parishioners, some of the! lioys clubbed together to have a dish of sport with him ; tor that purpose, on j Sunday morning, two or three hours l>efore meeting time, they carried a small stray pig into the pulpit, left him there, and shut the door. The deacon appeared, and t?>ok his scat beneath, with a sanctimonious face, not knowing but all things were in decency and order about the sacred desk; at length the preacher arrived, ascend-j ed the pulpit stairs, and opened the door, when the pig darted out between his legs, and tumbled hitu down to the deacon's seat, when ho bawled out: "I believo the devil has pitched mo over, instead of the deacon." The deacon responded with his large open mouth, and well strained eyes: 44 We-ll-e; Hallelujah ! Amen." Anecdote of a Tennessee Coi.forTKUft.?44 Thcv tell me, sir,"said a good old Methodist lady to an East Tennesuno U n nw uiiii jv 11 ill u u i reb- | b) torinn." "How did you find that out," inquired the Colporteur. " I am circulating the books of the Tract Society." " Well," continued the good woman, " if you are a Presbyterian, I would like yon to answer mo one question. I have heard that tho Presbyterians all believe that 4 what is to he will he.' I want to know if it is so ?'* "Why, certainly so," replied tho Colporteur. " Well, I wouldn't have thought that l any lxsly could believe such as that." 44 And pray, madam," said the Cob i porteur,44 let me ask what you believe j on the subject ? Perhaps }'ou l>elieve | that what won't he will be, and what [ will he won't he J" The good old lady seemed somewhat ; puzzled, and went o.i with her knitting. Thk following is not a bad hit at the i mania for hunting up coats of arms : Two fellows were disputing abont their respective claims to distinction on the score of anoeetry, when a third stepped in and said: 441 rather think uny ancestors made more noise in the world than those of either of yon ; iny father was a drum , Ulcr, and my mother cried oysters," Children ask some. curious qnos-1 tions.

A Contrary Wind.?44 IIow changeable the wind is," said Mrs. Partington, upon her return from a walk in Boston. 44 It is the ehnngeablest thing I ever did see. When I went up to Washington street, it was blowing in my face; and when I turned to go down, don't you think it went blowin'j on my back."
