ABE MECHANICS NOBODY!
So many poisons think, or at least ?ecm
to think, from tho manner in which tliev '
# \
re treated by certain persons who think
themselves somebody?avd most of those j
who put on thoso snobbish airs have (
sprung from the loins of a mechanic them- i
selve*. Wo heard of a female (was 6he a I
lady!) the olhcr day, in this self-same aristocratic
(bah \) little Raleigh, who took her
husband severely to task for walking in the
street by the tide of a mechanic! Now,
her husband is a mechanic, who has risen a
little in the world, and her father and grand
father wero both mechanics? And an
honor to themselves and tlio noble class to
which they belonged.
Hut this dpfrenerate daughter of a wor
0
thy mechanic thinks mechanics nobody,
does she? See tlmt splendid mansion embowered
in trees nnd splendid shrubbery,
with gravelled walks and everything around
betokening elegance and wealth? It looks
like r little heaven. Whose liomo is this?
This is the former residence of General
Spendall, a man possessed of every attainment
constituting the hospitable Southern
gentleman.. We were at a gay assemblage
there once. 'The old gentleman was thee
in all Ins glory, tunounded hv his costly
wines, brandies, and the beauty nnd fashion
of the neighborhood ; niul his accomplished
lady did the honor' will) the gracc ami <ngnity
of a queen. Tho daughters wire radiant
in beauty and finery; and the 6ons j
were splendid fellows, with nil the impe- j
riousness of the Czar of Russia.
Where are they now 1 Tlio old man is i
in Texas, with his care worn wife and the '
.1
remnant of hisshattered health. The sons,
brought up in idleness and dissipation, reduced
the family to povt-ity and themselves
to the deepest degradation. Only one J
daughter remains, and she married a me- J
cbanic, (sensible girl,) xvlio has made a for
tune, and is itblo to soothe the declining
y?flra of liis wife's parents, now reduced to
dependence.
Well, who lives in the splendid mansion
now! Mr. Jack plane, the mechanic that
built it. lie bought out the plantation, j
bouse and furniture, negroes and all?and j
now hia sons are promising to do l>v hiin !
juBt as Spendall's did7 by the old General.
TbiB and all such instances prove the folly
of parents in wearing out their liveB to
heap up riches for their children.?Spirit
of the Age.
THE TWO FOOLS.
When quite a email boy, like most other
youths, I had a great inclination to attend
all the shows, circusses, negro-dancers, concerts,
etc., that came along. On one occasion
I was very much amused at tliew it of
the clown, who was convulsing the crowd
with his grotesque appearance and witty
saying. After awhile he said something
the crowd did not consider very "funny,"
and at which no one laughed, when a
drunken man no longer able to hold his
tongue, cried "You aie a fool." "True,"
replied the clown, and so are you ; the only
difference between us, I ?m a fool for
money, and you are a foor for nothing."
Though quito young, the reply of the
clown made a deep impression upon my
mind, and I determined to profit by it.?
In after life, I have generally found that it
required more fools than one to carry on
successfully what we really condemn as
foolish.
Now, whenever I sec large placards stuck
ap, announcing the arrival of "strange animals,"
"unrivalled circus," "wonderful attraction,"
etc., I invariably think of the
Mying of the clownt "lam a fool for money
and you are a fool for nothing," and
tay away. There is generally but one
clown, but a great many of the oilier*.
When I see advertised in the papers,
"splendid lottery schemes," "sixty thousand
dollar prizes," "great inducements tc
buy," "almost certain of a prize," elc., 1
think of the clown's two fools, and how
many buy while one sells, and excuse my
elf from buying a ticket. One is a foo
for money and the other is a fool for noili
iog.
T not? a crvlon/Vul cnInrtn wilh rip

canters of sparkling wines and brandies se
round in the most inviting manner, will
smiling clerks ready to lmhd you "a glass,
I ain sure to think "there is a too! for men
ey," and as the deluded wretches crow*
around the counter, "these are fools fo
nothing."
When I hear of some "divine" woma
going about singing Italian song?, and mo
paying from two to ten hundred dollars
Slight for seats to hear, and when they car
not understand one* word of it, I think ,<
' the two fools," and keep my money in m
poctcet.
Id short, sir, whenever any "unusual n
traction," any "rare chances for specoh
tion," offers I suspect at once, that if
take hold of it, there will he another fo<
t the other end, and so I let*lkalone.

THE FRENCH EMPEROR.
The following ij tlio communication made by
Llie French Emperor to the Corps LegislatifT on
Llie 3d instmil:
Austria, by ordering the entering of hor army
into the territories of Sardinia, onr ally, ban
declared war agnins us. She thus violate*
treaties and menaces onr frontier*. All the
ureat powers have protested against thin act
of aggression. Piedmont having accepted the
ronditione, one asks what can be the reason of
this sudden invasion ? It is because Austria
lias driven matters to such an extremity that
her dominion must either extend to tho Alps,
or Italy must go free to the shores of the Adriatic,
for every corner of Italy which remains
independent endangers (he powers of Austria.
Hitherto moderation hns been tlie rule of my
conduct, but now energy becomes my first duty.
France nnist now to arms. ami resolutely tell
Kurope: I wish not for conquest, but I ftin dcte!
mined to maintniu my national nnd traditional
policy I observe treaties on condition
tliut they nre not violated against me. I respect
territories nnd the right* of neutral power#;
but 1 boldly avow my sympathies with a
people whose history i? mingled with our own,
nnd who now groi.n under foreign oppression.
France has shown her hatred to ntinrchy. ller
will was to give me power sufficiently strong
t<> reduce into subjection t he abot tors of <1 isorder
and the incorrigible members of old factions,
who arc incessantly seen on. hiding compact*
with our enemies; but she has not for that pur
pose abandoned her civilizing character. Her
natural allies have always been those who d??
sire the Amelioration of tlie human rneo, and
when she draws the sword it. is not. to govern,
l.nt to tree. The object then, of this war i? to
restore Italy to herself, not to impose upon her
u change of masters, ami we shall then have
upon cur frontiers 11 friendly people, who will
owe to us their independence. We do not
enter Italy to foment disorder, or disturb the
powers of onr Iloly Father, whom we replaced
u|>on his throne, hut remove from him this foreign
pressure which burdens the whole petiin
sulil, r.nd to help to establish order there, bnscd
upon lawful, satisfied interests. In fine, then
