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. Take 1
them into the church. Talent has always,
something worth hearing; Tact is sure of |
i??? _r

a living ;'TaclAvill mako one: Talent gets
a good name; Tact a great one. Talent i

from tlie profession. Take them to court. J
Talent feels its weicht: Tact finds its wav. :

Talent commands; Tact is obeyed. .Talent I
is honored willi approbation ; and Tact is. 1
blessed by preferment. Place tliem in the 1
senate.?Talent has the ear of tbo house: .
but Tact wins its heart, and has 'its votes. |
Talent is fit for the employment * but Tact i
is fitted for it. 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. It
has served an invisible and extemporary apprenticeship.
It wants no drilling. It
never ranks in the awkward squads' It has ,
110 left hand, no deaf ear, no blind side. It ,
puts on looks of wondrous wisdom^ it has
no nir'oT profundity, but pla}'s with the de- *
tails of place as dexterously as its well-taught .
hand flourishes over tbekeyi of a pianp-foite
It has all the. air of commonplace, and all ,
tbe foreh and power of genius* It can,
change sides with a hcypreito movement,
and be at all points of the compass, while
Talent is pondtfronsly and learnedly sifting
a siglo point. Talent calculates clearly,
reasons logically, makes'outa case as clear

A Landlord Punished; ?
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

husband lind lately died, leaving her with
the child she held in bur arms ; that she
bad struggled bard to maintain herself by
working day and night, and submitting to
every privation, but that her landlord bad
nt length seized her furniture for some
months' rent which was due to him. 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

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

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,

The purchaser, then addressing the paint- w
r, saiditl
' In seeing an artist of your merit bid so ,,,
?agcrly for the picture, I supposed that it C1
nust l>o valuable. Now, tell me, sir, ut n]
what do you estimate its value?" jr
"Ab^ut three francs and a half," replied ,
the painter; '"but I would not give that for :

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

?among whom was a Kentnuky lawyer, h
quite a promising man ; but bo enamored c

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

A MotHWt's Gift.
The following lines, written by a mother in
Bible?i>er gift to her soil?are no duubt falilinl
to many of our readers, but tliey are
ell worth reprinting :
Remembur, love, wlio gave thee this',
When other days shall come?
? ueu ?ne who Hud thy ctirlirut kiss,
Sleeps in lier narrow home.'*
Remember, 'twns a mother gave
The gift to one she'd die to save.
That mother songht a pledge of love,
The holioet for her son :
And from the gift of God nbovo
She chose a goodly one ;
She chose for Iter beloved hoy
The source of life, and light, and joy;
And badohini keep the nift?Ihnt wheu
The i>nrliiii; hour should cuiiip
They might have hope to uieet again,
In her eternal home.
She said his fiiitli ill that would ho
Swett incense to her memory.
And should the scoffer, in his pride,
Laugh that fond gift to scorn,
And hid him oust that pledge aside,
That he from youth had borne !
She bad* him pause and ttsk his breast,
If he, or she, had loved him best f
A parent's blessing on her son
Goes with his holy thing ;
The luvo that woi.ld retain Lhe ona
Must to the other cling.
Remember, 'tis no idle toy,
A mother's gilt?kkukmiier dot !

v Why SataV Never Disturbs Women.
?Moh.-immed relate* following story ns
an amhorith; and veritanle pirruof tradition,
illustrative of tlie l'a?t dial Ssitau lias duties
to perform in the world, and lie was never
known to lie idluand neglect thein, viz :?
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

One day of domestic felicity is worth a

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. No ei<y on
earth, perhaps, can exhibit anything sosnhliaie
ly t?aso ; so Hint 1 sometimes wish'they liail mi
Kmpefor liko yonr-JVin Nc*? York?to givithree
distinct, warnings all around. Tlie men
who conduct the leading journals in Charleston.
or in New Orleans, would lie* quite incapable
of managing nn?? of those "organs." becausc
tliev could not bring theni-elves to pour out out
upon another the needful abominations of language?nor
to deserve them so richly at one
mothers hands. 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. Louisiana has a'certimi sugary
