The dinner was a fine one. ti. p1iinpaigne delicious; and after an lior!s sitting, the New Englanders Ylef, the table in the merriest mood in 'a~nable. oow fellows,' said Parker, as they ored from the dining-room--'ev one look out for his own hat; I've i" a mark on minife that nobody f iistake.' ;'But there was some sort of a mis. I somewhere notwithstanding. It aV,. some time before Mr. Par kor found his hat at all, and even then he labored under the impression that it had grown a trifib older since lie gent.o dinner. But the placard was ini the crown, all right, and "Asa Par ;r,Attorney at Law, Concord, New dHampshire," stared him in the ftee as hilooked inside. l right, fellows!' said Parker, aling the tile to his gourd. 'Noth ptlke making stire of things when unare. going into a crowd! My at safe anyhow.' But he only put the hat on the top of ' ashead, for it was entirely too small 6 o on. What's the matter, Parker? en uJited one: of the party, as the at tnoy attempted to pull on the hat. Oh, nothing,' responded Parker a ,#ain looking into the hiat--'othing it's all right, of course-'Asa Par jke-, Attorney at Law, Concord, New lHampshire,'-Certainly; I knew it n..Must be my hat.' And again he 'attempted to pull the hat on. The party around could illy sup press laughter at the comical motions .of the embarrassed lawyer, but lie did got appear to notice it, and industri. 4 ously endeavored to make the hat 9ft somehow. In a state of the most It'absolute bewilderment, lie at length ,,turned to one of the party, and present 4 ;ggthe hat, desired him to tell what p mewas in it. The man read 'Asa X~k-rAttorney, at Law, Concord, f"omn ;-exclimied' er, again attempting to pull on the hat, only to his greater be. w~vilderment. ~ ,~,L'Will you have the kindness to 'tell me who I am?' said he, still iore perplexed. .

It would be very diflicult to ~.say whether Mr. Parker knew him. sel friom''a hole in the ground' 'about lysjncue he looked again into the h at and read the inscripbtion, and then '~'at his friends, who still preserved Sstraight faces, and finally caved. 'Gentlemen,' said P. with intense Sgravity, 'if I am Asai Parker, At. torney at Law, Concord, New Iamp.. shire, and this hat belongs to Asa Par Sker; Attorney at Law, Concord, New S ampshire, all I have to say, is that mny head has swelled most di y ince I went to (linner('. ,It is not told who changed Mr. Par. , er's card into somebody else's hat. COMFORTS FOR JIOMEI.Y WVoMEN. "1meauty," says Lord Kames, "is a dangerous property, tend ig to Corrupt ~ the mind of the wife, though it ,soon loses its influence over the huis Sbaud. A figure agreeable and en Sgaging, which inspires afl'ection, with out the ebriety of love, is a muclh Ssafer choice. The graces lose their ' influence, like beauty. At the end of thlirty years, a virtuous woman, who akes an agreeable companion charms husband imoie than -at first. Th'le arison of love to fire holds ' one respect, that the fiercer it e sooner- it is extinguished. CANDL.E.--The Chinese Is a very singular sto. umnt inflictced on a .His offene, it able, and it was arn example of e was wound ted with tal edl till lhe gigantic fatheri's the birk young n hifci7 t a pistol, giving as a reason or doing so that lie had no means Of living, He had written to. his friends for funds; but notrcceiving thny. he determined on self-destruction. We know nothing of the individual, ani only gathered the above particulars from some of the daily papers; but the case suggests some important con siderations. 1. Why is it so many boys are suffered to grow up in our country, without a practical koiowledge of the means of an honest -livelihood? In other Words. wIly are not boys; all boys, everywhere taught to work? Is there any disgrace in being able, from earlf education to earn an honest liv ing by the labor of one's hands, when ever it may be necessary? Do 'not parents do an injury to their children, and to the community at large, by raising them up and thrusting them ouit upon the world unprepared to earn a competent subsistence'? Are their sons too good to work? Alas for want of correct views on this subject, and of useful,.honorable employ ment, hndreds are led first to drinking and gambling houses, and then to disgrace and ruin. 2. In a country like this, where op enings for industry and enterprise are so numerous, where every healthy man may do well if he will, why should men, and especially young men, corn plain of a want of the means of liv ing? It is certainly not because there is nothing to be done-iot because they are either too proud or too lazy to work. That's it. A false ed ieation, connected with false views of their own important selves, lead them to conclude that honest labor is degra ding. Yes, degrading; though they will not often speak out, thus, this is the feeling. To soil their pretty hands and dirty their fine unpaid-for cloth es, is a stoop to which they cannot sub mit-their pride Will not allow it; hence they are too often ready to resort to almost any course rather than go honestly to work. In all this there is a radical error, which in niost cases may be traced to the influence of early education. The parent was, perhaps, some thirty-seven and a half cents better off than his nr-igh bors, hence lie, weak man, was led to suppose that his son was only suited for some profession, at the v'ery low. est, to "go into somie business1' as it is usually termed-that is, to stand behind some counter, c-ut tape, and measure calico. And this, in the es timnation o the over bund and deluded parent, is "more respectable" than the varions handicraft pursuits of the country. I low upon the ftee of the eaith did it ever enter the heads of nicn that it was more respectable to stand by a counter than by a work-bench-to measurc cloth than Irn'ake the coat-to shav notes than to shave timber?" How, '"7 e nnlTAt im agine. Out upon such ninnyislm!, say we! Let our sons be tiaught that idleness is a dlisgrace, and that no runn has a right to live upon the comn muon stock without contributing his shar-e to the suppor-t of the whole; and then let each and every man "lay to" and do something useful to himself and others. lt'hc cannmot do tis, let him do (lha/, but let him never- be idle, but al ways usefully enmployed; thieti lie will not he so anxious to hu ry himinself' out oif this world, bad as sonie pretend to think it is. -AN AremI -ro THE1 YoLN.--A youngr man has lately heen conv-icted in Virginia of robbinig the mail, and hsbeeni sentenced to the lpenitent iary.

As the passengor train of tlio Wil. mington and Manchester Rail Road was passing downward towards the South Carolina road this morning they, ran over and severely if not mortally wounded a negro boy, who was lying asleep on the track.

JIis application was prompt ly rejected oil account of' his youthful ness. Determined not to be disap pointed in the promiptings of his gal lant spirit he entered the ears with the I'giIIeit for Mexico. Thence lie was forcibly ejected for the same reason his extreie youth.
