vnnrreya Misfortunes. Or, How His Hat Troubled Him. ny HAZEL ORKKK, KSQ. "When I was a young lad, just beginning to think about the girls," said Charley, "I WaS monstrous pious, and' went to meeting every Sundn/ out I have sinco coino to the conclusion that it was not as much for the concern I felt for the "good of my soul," as it was for the sake of gazing about the room, and thinking to myself which*' girl was the prettiest, and which one I would rather marry. "Wall nnpilnv T sinrrlml /ii?t n mrl n.t.n " b.v? vm? i. ".iu ? thought eclipsed all creation for beauty ; ih fact, I was soon head-ovcr-lieels in love with her. But a few minutes sufficed for me to form a resolution to see her home, pop the question, and, if possible, to strike, a bargain immediately., I was all in a tremble. The sermon seemed a week long, and very uninteresting. Many, no doubt, were praying for their neighbors, and their neighbors' children, but with mo it was ouite different?I was nravinf for thn wmi. i I ?r O ing to break. At length the meeting (lid break, and I broke with it?for my hat; but to my surprise and mortiSoation, I could not find it unul after the dbject of my affections had gotten so far the start of me, that it would have required quite an effort to have overtaken her. Besides, there was another consideration?my hat had been under foot, and was so badly soiled, that I was rather ashamed to be seen with it on. Taking all those things into consideration, T. 1 * a- f .? - * ro3oiveu lu wait. 101" me next opportunity. From that time I was a changed chap I could think of nothing but the girl I had. seen at meeting, except it was that of persuading the "governor" to buy me a new suit of Sunday clothes. The old lady sided with mo in this last particular, and between ss both, wo succeeded in carrying our points. I was rigged out in style?cloth coat, satin vest, cassimero pants, and to crown all, a beaver that cost five dollars. "This will fix things," thought I ; "could I but see her now, I might set her down * as mine." T_ - ^ in a lew evenings, lucre w.is prayer-meeting at "Union meeting-houso," and I, with ray new fixings, wended my way thither : not, however, until my mother had given me much good advice concerning the management of my new rigging?more particularly the head, as I had but a short time before, got my old one crushed up at meeting. I had not been in the meeting-house long, before her whom I most anxiously expected, ctwne in ; and from thence until the services were concluded, I was in a sea of trouble, lest some fellow should cut me out, or something of the kind. As soon as the congregation was dismissed, 1 "yoked her," and off wo started. When we reached her home the sun was incf coHtnnp onrl on Kc monnnJn l?? J'? v^vv...^, WW, w WW umuuciij, UVI old dad asked me to "stay all night." I had no objections, and after supper wns over, I told Betty (for that was the girl's flame,) thnt I'd like to chat with her a little more. She had no objections, but'said we must go to the kftfchcu, ns the old folks didn't like to be disturbed by a light iu the "big-room," yjben they were to bed. To all this I consented of course, and so we were soon on the very best of terms. I should have been extremely happy, but for cue cause?the stamp of plcntv. in the form of grease, was abundantly impressed Upon everything in the room, excepting the chafrs upon which we sat, and consequently I was much troubled about my new hat. What should I do with it? I did not Want to have grease upon it?no, that would never do! Finally, I resolved to koep it on my head, judging that to be the safest place. Being thus relieved of my greatest embarrassment, I went about the work of courting in real earnest. After mgny^e things had been said, and a marriage contract had been partially ontered into, I proposed a kiss. You may be sure she refused, but I insisted?a scuffle ensued, wbicn lasted until she was Anmnlnfalv avlmniitiwf Tio!n<? nn?kl? ? t UllOl'IO LU hold out longer, she turned up her pretty lips and stud : "If you must kiss inc? here, b'ut don't you ever undertake such a thing again?you brute." I stooped over to perform the operation, wljei), all of a sudden, I felt an unusual lightness about my bead. Before I had time to think whether I was going to faint or not, I heard a kind of splashing about my feet, and casting my eyes downward, 1 saw?great Heavens ! what did I see ? There layed my five-dollar beaver, com pletely immersed in a filthy compound of dish vyater,.cucumber peals, "later" skins and tbeLora knows what besides, that had, been accumulated in a tub, under the fasr cinating cognomen of "swill." This was a predicament for you?what Bhould I do ? If Betty had observed it the matter would not have been so bad ; but Bhe had not; could I tell her ? No ! Heaven forbid ! At first I thought of lifting it out, but imagining the spectacle it would present, my courage failed me.

Yet it is curious scossary to remark that everything Willis wrots ati. The traded immediate attention, and excited y inter- ready praise, while the productions of ilawance to thorne wore almost entirely unnoticed. The ly of so personal appenrance and demeanor of these ififcring. two gifted young men, at the early period lain of of which I speak, was also in striking concean to trast.

I had seen some anonymous publication which seemed to me to indicate extraordinary powers. 1 impiirud of the publishers as to the writer, and through them a correspondence ensued between mo and "N. Hawthorne." i mis name i cousiucrea a disguise, and it was net till after many letters had passed that I met the author, and found it to be a true title, representing a very substantial personage. At this period he was unsettled >; as to his views; ho had tried his hand in real. literature, and considered himself to have met with a fatal rebuff from the reading world. Ilis mind vacillated between various projects, verging, I think, towards a mercantile profession. I combated his des- , pondence, and assured him of triumph if he i would persevere in a literary career. lie wrote numerous articles, which ap- < peared in the Token ; occas ion ally, an astute < wmga, crjtic seemed to see through them, and to discover the soul that was in them ; but in 1 sings, generaj tjlCy passed without notice. Snch articles as ''Sights from a Steeple," "Sketches beneath an Umbrella," "The Wives of the ir the Dead," '"The Prophetic Pictures," now universally acknowledged to l?o productions of extraordinary depth, meaning, and power, extorted hardly a word of either praise or blame, while columns were given to pieces j since totally forgotten. I felt annoyed, almost angry, indeed, at this, I wrote several articles in the papers, directing attention to these productions, and Gliding no ccho of my views, I recollect to havo asked John Pickering to read some of tliem, and give me his opinion of them. He did as I requested ; his answer was, that they displayed a wonderful beauty of style, with a I kind of double vision, a sort of second sight, which revealed, beyond the outward forms of life and being, a sort of spirit world, somewhat as a lake reflects the earth around it and the sky above it; yet he deemed them to be too mystical to be popular. He was right, no doubt, at that, period, but, ere long, a portion of mankind, a large portion of the reading world obtained a new sense?bow or where or whence, is not easily determined?which led them to study the mystical, to dive beneath and beyond trie senses, and to discern, gather, and cherish gems and pearls of price in the hidden depths of the soul. Ilawlborne was, in fact, a kind of Wordsworth in prose?less philosophical. Ilis fate was similar; at first he was neglected, at last he had worshippers. In 1837,1 recommended Mr. Ilawthorno to publish a e; volume, comprising his various pieces, which had appeared in the Token and elsewhere, lie consented, but as I had ceased to be a publisher, it was difficult to find any one who would undertake to bring out the work. I applied to the agent of the Stationers' Company, but he refused, until at last I ( relinguished my copvricrhts. on such of th? tales as I had published' to Mr. ITawthorne, ' and joined a friend of his in a bond to in- ' demnify them against loss: and thus the , work was published by the Stationers' Com- , pany, under the title of "Twice Told Tales," i and for the author's benefit. It was deem ed a failure for more than a year, when a ; ?, breeze seemed to rise and fill its sails, and with it the author was carried on to fame , and fortune. j The Largest Man in the World. , Geor- The funeral sermon of Mr. Miles Dar- ( n firm den, who di-.*l nt his residence, in Ilender- , > Kan- son country, will be preached on the 4th , Gov.

P? do The first Steamboat on the Ohio River. nd We find some interesting particulars re- m< garding tlie navigation of the Ohio river by steamboat in "Western Annals," by James Hi It Albacli, of Pittsburg, from which it ap- th pears that oitizcns of New York were chief- or; ly instrumental in promoting what was gr then considered and adventurous snd doubt- as till experiment. The author quotes from he Mr. Latrobe: "The complete success attending the ex- tc, periments in steam navigation on the Hud- Ui son and the adjoining waters, previous to ?u the year 1809, turned the attention of the principal projectors to the idea of its ap- j ^ plication on the western rivers ; and in the j)tl month of April of that year Mr. Iloosevelt of New York, pursuant to an agreement with Chancellor Livingston ami Mr. FillLuii, visited those rivers with the purpose of jjf forming an opinion whether they admitted on of steam navigation or not. Mr. lloose- , velt surveyed tlie rivers from l'ittsburg to (jt New Orleans,and as his report was favor- j iible, it was deeided to build a boat at the 'j former town. In October, 1811, the "New Orleans" was launched and sent out, being intended to ply between that city and Natchez? '" not j?s suited in the extract from Thurston's " book, between l'ittshur" and the falls of Ohio. fU" Latrolm again : "Mr. Roosevelt, liis t|" young wife and family , Mr. Baker the 1" engineer, Andrew .lack, the pilot, and six ,u" hands, with a low domestics formed her w,] whole burden. There were no wood yards at tliat time, nnd constant delays were un- m,: avoidable. Late at night, oil the fourth 'l 1 Jay after quitting Pittsburg they arrived tw in safety at Louisville, having been but cm seventy-four hours descending upwards tl?? of six hundred miles." The settlers on sio the bank*, who had not even heard the ru- i?l? mors of such a scheme, were 6truck with nn "surprise and terror" at the appearance of Wi the snorting monster. "I have heard that the general impression among the good Kentuckians was that the comet had fallen < into the Ohio. The small depth of water in ex tho rapids prevented the bo:it froru pursu- Sii inghor voyage immediately ; and during is the consequent detention of three weeks, i(,i several trips were successfully made be- pr; tween Louisville and Cincinnati. The waters rose in November, and in the last t\\ week of that month the vovacre was rosnni - . y o - Ull ed. _ I*o After being nearly overwhelmed with gc( the earthquakes, the "New Orleans" reach- ev ed Natchez the first week in January, ex 1812. Neither Mitchell or his telescope was on kn the hanks of the Ohio in those days, and t it was no more strange that the honest ^ farmors should imagine the steamboat to be a comet, than are the vague apprehensions of the present time, that we are in danger of collision with one of those eccen- *? trie bodies. Singularly enough there was 8^' then, as now a widely-spread story that CM the earth was to be "smashed like a felt hat, and "one-third of mankind" destroyed in the opinion.

A pamphlet was pub- th? lishe<] and widely circulated, "adorned with \*i sundry Yankee pictures of horrible sights, Coi portraying the dire calamity." As a counterpart of this steam boat-coin- ^ et story, we remember one that was told . about tlie people ot a certain village who f assembled to see the first locomotive pass by on the rails. Not one of them had the slightest idea what sort of a animal it was, " and they were busy with all kinds of conjcctures.

"In endeavoring to reach Victoria Land, it is intention to avoid, if possible, any risk of coming involved in the ice ; and, should I not :ceed in reaching Victoria Land, I will return LJellot Strait to pass the winter, as we know experience that the retreat of the ship from ere amounts almost to a certainty. From ctoria Land the homeward voyage is equally rtain, but by way of Bebring Straits.

Taking this result as a basis, tlio following deductions are made, whicb all our farmers would do well to lay by for a convenient reference. That, When corn costs 12 1-2 ccnts per bushel, pork costs 1 1-4 cents per pound. When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound. When corn costs 20 cents per busbel, pork costs 3 cents per pound. When corn costs 33 conts per bushel, pork costs 4 ccnts pc pound. When corn costs 50 cents per bushel, pork costs 5 cents per pound. The following statements show what tlie farmer realizes for his corn when sold in the form of pork : When port sells for 3 cents per pound it brings 25 cents per bushel ill corn. When nork sells for d. tv.? nn"" ' it brings 32 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for 5 cents per pound, t brings 43 cents por bushel in corn.

Professor Lieber's rctircneut was hid own voluntary act, prompted, we )elieve, by the election of another over him, as 'resident of the College ; and lie left the iiutiution with the very general regret of our p?o>le, bearing with hiin decisive testimonials of lie high estimation in which he was held by he Alumni, as well of former tinu-s, ns of his >wn day: "For, after this, it was discovered that Dr. 'rancis Lieber, for twenty years the instructor i if the ingenuous youth of Carolina, at Colutn- I >ia College, in rolitieal Kcouomy ami Mural I iciciice, had been guilty, ten years before tlnit, j >f inserting an article in the Encvclono'dia i linericauo, of which he was Editor, disrespectul to Slavery, and so dangerous to th?: Cornertone of our Republican Edifice.

"If you will get down and hold iny calf for ine, [ will pull ofrny hat to you." George's polite ness and shrewd remark were the making of liiin. That gentleman said to his mother, "four ion is a smart boy, and if properly trained, will make a great man Borne day. If you will permit me, I will give George n good education Mid give him a start in the world." The mother thanked the gentleman for his kindness nud let him take charge of her son.

So far, few Secretaries have ever enjoyed so large a share of populariiy in the Army, or have ever given more satisfaction to civilians who have business at the War Department. The New Tork Daily News of the 18th instant takes occasion to pay Governor Floyd the following handsome compliment: "The War Department has seldom been in the handsofone possessed of higher executive talent than Governor Floyd.

It 1ms been unfortunate fof the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the Imwels. This is not. Many of them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the Hood to )>e derived froir* them. The?o piVt produce no irritation or pain, unless it arise from a previously existing o>?(*Tnetion or derangement in the bowels.
