The Rising Moon. ? BY W. B. O. PEABODT. Tlio moon Is up! how cnlm and slow She wheels above the hill I The weary wind* forget to blow, And all the world lies still. The way-worn travellers with delight, ller rising brightness see, Revealing all the paths and plains, A ? J _!M. rvuu gnuing every tree. It glistens where the hurrying stream Its little rippling heaves ; It falls upon the forest-shade. And sparkles on the leaves. So once in Judah's ovening hills Tho heavenly lustre spread ; The Gospel sounded from the blaze, And shepherds g;izod with dread. And still tlint light upon the world Its guiding splendor throws, Bright in the opening hours of life, t And brighter at its close. The wnining moon in time slmll fail To walk the midnight skies; But God hath kindled this bright light "Willi fire that never dies. The Knickerbocker Magazine. "Old Knick" for July is a capital number. We always peruse its pages with pleasure and profit. The present number is more than usually interesting, and uiucli enlarged. To tlio Editor's tabic we sit down satisfied that before we get up, wc shall fiud something extremely funny or pathetic. From the "Table" of the last number, wo pick tbo following pungent crumb, which we hand over to our readers to taste and pass along : Those that detest puns, or cannot discover them, will please skip the dialogue : 'My eyes !' said the Potato to the Lemon, 'how bilious you look to-day ! Your skin is as yellow as saffron. What can be tho matter ?' 'Lemon. Acidity of stomach?a family eomplaint of ours. 'Potato. Why don't you take advice ?' 'Lemon. Advice ! You know my poor dear brother dropped off the other day ; and without being; allowed to rest on his toother earth, his body was suatched up by a member of the Bar, who, instead of acting legally, dissected him?absolutely cut him up. 'AH tor tho public good,' said the rascal, as he squeezed out poor Lern's last gastric juices. Take advice, quotha! If he was uot allowed to enter a plea in Bar, what may I expect frotn Doctors' Commons V 'Potato. That's true. I only hope poor Lorn, though he was in liquor at the time, bad strength enough to give hpn a punch under the ribs ; he whs a rum customer to the last, no doubt?but I must say I wish bis skin had been fuller. Do you attend the meeting to-night ! 'Lfimun. I mtllAr cnnro/1 of nfneAnl ' - ? ? I met Running Vino just now with the invitations, and he hinted that there would be a squeeze, in which case I should decline, as they might press ino to furnish driok for the company?in fact, it is always 60 when they call any of my family to their aid. But now, to bo serious, my sweet, sweet Potato, if you should go, let me advise you not to get yourself into water : you'll be dished to a certainty if you do. Onion, the strongest friend you have on earth, brought tears to my eyes by the bare recital of what would be the probable consequences of your attending it. In case of a row, you'll both have to strip?peel off Now, under 6uch circumstances, he'll cer lainiy excue some 6ort ot sympathy ; where as the removal of your russet coat migh attract more admiration than pity : 'Love ly in death, would they say?'Pallidc mors,' etc. Indeed, for my own part, ] think you do look better in white. Oh another thing I would say : Keep out ol Horse-Radish's company ; he will be sure to get into a scrape, a greater one than In imagines, perhaps?and as for Onion, (don' let this leak out,) I fear the rope will en< him.

[They how unanimously and exeunt as fast as their limbs can carry them.] ./v. oplexdid weapon.?Several months | ago, as our readers will recollect, we noticed | an application made by Mr. A. Le Mat, of ill is city, for a patent for an improved re* volver of his invention. lie has secured his ' patent, and yesterday showed us one of them. It is beyond all comparison the finest weapt, on we ever paw. It is a revolver of the nine chambers, charged with conical expanding balls, which are fired in the same manner ' as the balls of the Coil's Anny Revolver, t Hut in addition to these there is a large ! 1 center barrel the charge of which consists of I T fifteen or twenty huekslmt. Tlii? l>nn-?l !c I 5 independent of all the others, and is dis- j charged by means of a sliding hammer at-; 3 tached to the regular Colt's hammer. The i 1 adjustment for the discharge of the central 1 or grape shot barrel can be affected by a , single motion, in two seconds. In weight } this weapon is about equal to the regular t Army revolver, but in efficiency it far sur* passes it.?iV. O.

Cessation frorti ordinary bodily labor is in us enjoyed, and though cessation from mental labor is not expected, there is the o advantage, on the principle just 6tated, of a change of thought, and that to subjects of, the highest importance to our welfare^' * ' Sir Matthew Hale, Dr. Johnson, Mr. W11D berforce, and many other distinguished men, s of great power of mind, and variety of pU? suit, have borne testimony to the advantages e of Sabbath observance; while striking examples inicrht be oriwnn nf # n~- VI kUU lOiUI | CBUIL8 to health from neglectfng the benificent 5 andjwhotesome arrangement of^he seventh i day of rest.

The client saw that it was inevitable, and taking his leave for the moment, returned i soon with the coin. ile paid it?but in : revenge, after gaining his cause,ho told the ! story in every corner of Paris.

Lnincnts were mad-*. by the | editors over tho grasping advantage thus! taken of a client in his extremity, and even ! friends expressed their regrets to him for j this betrayal of avarice. But ho simply j shrugged his shoulders ; and as every thing , is soon forgotten at Paris, it passed oat of j the public mind. j Ten years went by ; and, a few days j since, at a celebration of which tho dignitaries of the courts of law formed a part, the processiou was interrupted by r? woman, : who suddenly sprang from the crowd and seized the hands of Muds.

'Poor woman !' 8aid M. Dupin, 'she lias loet her reason.' But no I she insisted on explaining to the bystanders that there was reason Nin her tears and gratitude. She stated it brokenly. Ten years ago, after the death of her husband, a claim was put in by a relative for the property upon which she had relied to support and educate her children. She resolved fn rlcfpnrl linr nr\cuf>cci/-,r> which she knew to be her own, and had already sold half her furniture to pay the commencement of process?when one day a stranger called upon her. lie abruptly announced his business. lie told her that the suit, for which kIio was running already into expense, would be n lossing one?that the law was against her, though justice was on her side?that she had better abandon it and save what she still possessed.

Flattery is a sort of bad money, to which our vanity gives currency. It is the perfection of happiness neither to wish for death nor to fear it.
