Tact and Talent." Talfent in something, but Tact iseveryhing. Talent is serious, sober, grave, and tespectable ; Tact Is all that, and more too. . 'It is not a seventh sense, but it is the life of all the 6vo. It is llio open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively touchy It is the interpreter of all'riddels, the surmounter of all difficulties, tfie reinOver of all obstacles. It ib useful in all places, and at all times?it is useful in solitude, for it shows a man his way into the world; it is useful in society, for il hows him bis way through the world.? , Talent is. power, Tact is skill; Talent in s weight, Tact is momentum ;~Talent knows < How'todoit; Talent makes a man respectable, Tact will make him respected ; Talent ' is wealth, Tact is ready money.?For all { the practical purposes of life, Tact carries it c against.Talent?ten to one. Take them tn ? the theatre, and nut them against each oilier ^ c ^ on the stage, and Talent shall producc yon o tragedy that will scarcely live long enough ? to be damned, while Tact keeps the house e in a roar, night after night, with its success- ( fill farces. There is no want of dramatic | talent?but they are seldom together ; 60 ^ we havo Successful pieces which are not | respectable, and respectable pieces which f are not successful. Tsiko them to the bar N and let them shake their learned curls at 1 each other in legal rivalry ; Talent sees its tfay clearly, but Tact is first at its journey's end.-. Talent has many a compliment from I the bench, but Tact touches fees from attor- { ueys and clients. Talent speaks lean redly J and logically ; Tact lliumtihanilv. Tnl<>nt makes the'world wonder that it gets on no i faster; Tactcxcitesastonishment that it gets on so fast. And the seoret;i6, that it lias J no weight to carry ; it makes no faslo steps ; hits tho right nail on the head; it loses no ( time; it takes all hints; and, by keeping its eye on the weathercock, is ready to tak?* ad- ( vantage of every wind that blows.

It has it knack of slipping iuiu jnace wuu a sweetsilence nnd glitmess of movement, as a billiard-ball insinuates itf < nelfinto the pocket. It seems to know cveiytbffltj without learning anything.

A few days since an eminent artist ai Lyoiis, while passing through the Hue de Terreaux, approached a number of persons di who were gathered together witnessing the w sale of tile furniture of a poor workman. A woman was sealed on the pavement with a child in her arms. The painter spoke to i.... 1 .-1.1 i'. IH.I | 111 Mi v> /ir?

The irtist was much affected by this simple rental, and inquired who wtfe her landlord. "There he is," replied the poor woman, jointing to a man who was watching thu uogressof the sale, and ho was recognized *v t!u? ttninfiir qc *\ nufcnh tvli<\ u>aounu>w...i (d to have amused a considerable fortune by isury, so that to make any appeal to his eelingson behalf of the poor widow would )c useless. Tito artist was consideiiug vithin himself what other plan ho could ujopt to benefit her, when the ctierannoitncid a picture for sale. It was a miserable lattb; which, in the summer, the poor wonan had used to bide the hole in the wall hrottgh which the pipe of the stove passed luring the winter, ll was put up at one ratio. The artist at once conceived a plan or taking revenge on the landlord. lie vent over, examined the picture with great ittention, and tbeu called out, with a loud "One hundred francs !" p, The landlord was astonished at the bid, >ut conceiving that a picture for which so ^ miiK-nt sin artist couid offer that sum was j)( .voiih more than double, boldly offered Lwo tj.

' E Decidedly Oool. ^ The truth of the following story is vouch sd for by .the Missouri correspondent of a Harper's Monthly: n Not a hundred miles from here, some six " months ago lived a fair widow, possessed of ^ llioso shiniyg qualities that most dazzle and n uharm the bachelor. She was young, hand- '< some and very wealthy. Mrs. Jackson took ^ an Eastern tour last summer. :?nft w?a l\nnnt - " d by many suitors?ardent and anx ous or -rs ^ ?among whom was a Kentnuky lawyer, h quite a promising man ; but bo enamored c did be become of-this fair widow, that he l' left a lucrative practice at home, and follow- ^ eJ her through the entire route oftasbiona- \ ble travel, lie met her at Baltimore^ Phil- fi ad&lpbia, and New York ; he danced with P her at Saratoga and Newport ; and w.fien s thq'jSkpon was drawing to a close, he hap- ? pened to be with her at Niagara, and on the v Ohio river, and even at St. Louis, wherfobe a was' almfest home. lie was al ways pleading professional business as the reason for bis J1 excursions Here and there; but he managed 0 to plead bis own suit out of court when courting the widow, though he saw no evidence of a verdict coming in his favor. At length Mrs. Jackson stepped on board the boat at St. Louis, to go up the Missouri to her own residence, when, to her surprise, the indefatigable advocate presented himself, as fresh as ? May morning. Tho widow exclaimed, as she mot him': .f ~ v' * ' Why, Mr. Jone's, I thought you were going to .return to lioufevillet" '? ... ? "Mrs. Jackson, my dear madam,"'replied; the lawyer, "I am lurg to renew the offer of my hand, and to lieg vour'aoceptaore."

In tlie dnvs nf Mohammed there was an Arab who had a very pretty wife. Satan transformed himself into so exaet and aeru rate n- likeness of her liushatid, that she i-imiki 1101, loruie ill" 01 nor, (ell whirli ot til.- two was lier hu*l>nnd. Both claimed Iht?i.e.. tli? re?l husband and Satan in 11 is I i key ess. The case excited much interest in the neighborhood ; hut no solution of the dillictillyuould he obtained. At length the case was brought before his Majesty the Prophet, lor solution. Mohammed, niter a ivHceiinti, hel.l up a certain ejuthern pot in his light hand, with a sp-jiit like a tea pot, and said to them both-:? "Now, whichever is the real husband, win enier mis vessel i?y ihespout, and lluis establish his claim to tho woman." Satan having more capacity in that way than the Arab of real (li sh anil bones, entered at once into tho tea pot, as suggested. Tim moment lhat lit; entered, Mohammed closed the top of the spuut and kept him shut in. But l>v the time Mohammed had kept his Excellency shut up for a few days in thai earl here pot, it was ascertained that the world was getting wrong in its machinery. Mohammed was therefore constrained to let Satan out from his e?>iitiiii*iiu?nt t.? int.-,. I his necessary in the management of the siO'.iirs of I lie world ; luit l>c-t'o re restoring him to !iis liberty again, Mohaftuucd extorted. a solemn promise fnnn liiin, that lie would never tronhle tho. ufair sex" any more, but confine himself to what lie could do among the "male. M -o- o -o Titln'gs to bk Hkmkmrkukd. A wise man makes a virtue of what lie cannot !i< !p. The activity of mind and body J ofeveiy faculty and passion ; is the reality of life, and the necessity of Health. One day of domestic felicity is worth a year of gaiety. By reading we enrifch the mind, by conversation we polish it. In most quarrels there is a fault on both I sides. Ifeneh parly in a quarrel would condescend Id lliink hinwelf in tlies wrong. a very few till it lKcs would ^lOiuahly settle the whole difference. Light is only n blessing when it guides up into the way of duly and obedience.

Tnr.rr.ks3 oFTiirSAurn.?John Milcli el writes of and from New Orient)*, loins friend John Martin, in Paris, via the Southern Citiz'n : The Press of New Orleans is generally ofhiirh eluiract^r. You derive rt miserable idea of the American Press and American Pntdio Opinion from the New York papera ; whi?-li ore those you see most commonly . perhaps almost exclusively, in France *nnd Knirhmd.

It is observable, htiwuvcr, that.the Press of New Orleans, though uldv written and well-sustained, lias ? on reclaim- all tlie rSotitJj) the metropolitan character which that of Chaclestoft may claim. The reason jg, that Charleston more fully and exclusively represents the leading nterwst of the whole South, namely, Cotton.
