Vi Hmrn. PlSSIlfi THOUGHTS. BY CHARLES SWAII. , this seems not the same time It was when we were young— When it called us to the moomight, With music, mirth and song: Ah, this is not the same time With many a home we know; And in the quiet churchyard There’s many a friend lies low! Ah, time is not the same time It was in daysof yore; Then children sinded around us That smile for us no more:— But they’re in heaven,—and angels, That we, love, but may not see. Are looking down from paradise, And blessing thee ana me! And when the days shair rise, lore, And may it not be far, Our children fron^he skies, love, Shall come to where we are; They'll he first to meet us. And lift us from the sod; Their hands be first to greet us. And lead us to our Uod! ON SHIRT COLLARS. I wish I had a Sunday shirt, Lord bless me how I’d caper; Or else a sham, O, how I’d flirt, With it starched stiff as paper. Full one quarter it must be, Less wouldn’t be wide enough sir, For then you know you could not see The texture of the stuff, sir. Then as through every street I go. The girls will all exclaim, Good gracious what a handsome beau, I wander what’s his name. But that can easily be seen, Just view me up and down, sir; My dandy vest is striped with green, My pantaloons are brown, sir. MISC S Ll» ANE OUS. (From the Great West.) HOW HE HID IT: OR OBKD WEAZF.LFACE’S FIRST AND LAST AFPKAKANCK ON ANY STAGE. In one of the most flourishing towns —located somewhere l»etween the head waters of the Alleghany and the Gulf of Mexico, and some time ago, if not longer—there chanced to be congre gated n band of strolling players, who, for a week or two previous, had l»een doing up the theatricals to not by any mMils overflowing houses. The fact is, theatre doings were at a rather low ebb in Epsom, and the manager of this distinguished company was fbrced to the melancholy conclusion, that if something were not done to ‘ raise the wiud^ he would be obliged to tvtmo.vc between two days, minus his valuable ‘properties,’ which would thereby he brought to the sheriff's hammer. Horatio Stage well was at his wit’s end. True, he was a diamond of the first water; hut then, as he avered, ‘Gcneous waryift appreciated at Epeoni.’ ’ Tie trh‘0 everything, from panto- and his fortune would be made to a C'-rtainty, and the required ‘rot-gut,’ which his landlord had stopped that morning, would again flow a flood, sore. Beckoning the Yankee to him, he straightened himself up, put on a dig nified stage air, and addressed hAto in a pompous tone. ‘ I perceive, young man, you’re from that part of Christendom known as New England.’ ‘ Wal, I calculate youFe patty good at guessing, neow,’ replied Obcd Wea- zelface. ‘ Ye-a-s—-that’s a fact But I say, yew—if you’re agoing to take that are at forty-five, (holding out his jack knife) just fork over neow, and it’s a trade afore you can say pizen!’ ‘ Aharn, what occupation do you fol low, young man F ‘Just neow, yew meanF * Aye! at this present time.’ ‘ Whittling, whistling, and wishing myself to hum.’ ‘ Umph! So yon have nothing to do ‘ Wal, guess maybe I haint nothing particular.’ * Ah! yes!

I mean were you ever on the stage?’ ‘Ye-a-s, I see! W'al, 1 should kin der guess I was, neow. Didn’t I get upsot three times coming down to Bos- ting l ’Spect yeu never heard tell on’t. Wal, I’ll just tell yew how ’was ’ ‘ No, no, no!

Appear he did, and was received w ith a tremendous shout of applause and roars of laugh ter, This was not to be wandered at, when it is taken into consideration that Obed was very tall, and like a pair of i^pngs, had more legs than body; the natter surmounted by a long, bottle neck, and potatoe head, w ith a canning, comical, quizzical phiz. As this was, in sober fact, Obcd’s first appearance, he was not a little abashed by such a reception. His part he did not exactly understaud-beiug im- E ressed with the idea, that the most he ad to do was to pktue the audience— or in other words to make them laugh. Laugh they did, which tickled Obed, and he began to laugh ^ith them, with out regard to the play. Taking this for his part, and thinking it very amu sing, the audience became convulsed. This continued so long that Obed con cluded to stop it. ‘ Look a here, folks,’ he said, ‘ if you want to hear something fanny, jest wait till I git a-going.’ ‘ Silence! silence!’ cried several ; voices, and all became still. 1 ‘ How d’ye do,’ whispered the prompt er, giving Obed the cue of the play. ‘ Yew see,’ continued Obed, address- | ing the audience, unmindful of the prompter, ‘ I want to tefl yew how ’tis. My name aint what you see on the bills—my name’s Obed Weazelface. 1 was raised down tu , , ‘Think I could take itF repeated mime up to tragedy, and had even an- i^ted, his small black eyes twinkling notinced as many as ‘ Six play* in one night’ in flaming capitals. But all to no purpose *, folks wouldn’t come; and Manager Stagewell, having expressed his opinion about such meanness, wound np by the classical remark, ‘That he’d be cussed if he believed they’d come if he’d announce twenty plays in a night’ What was to be done! Something must be done, and that quickly, or he would be done for to a certainty. With this bitter reflection, Horatio Stagewell one damp morning thrust his fists thro’ two clever rents in his fast departing unmentionables, and with his head bowed upon his bosom, and his black eyes glowing from beneath two heavy brows, (his favorite look am! attitude in heavy tragedy) he took his way to the river—whether with the secret in tention of producing a tragedy in real life that would be likely to ‘ draw’—the coroner at least—the chronicle sayeth not. But if such kym the design of Man ager Stagewell, it was never carried in to effect On the hank of the river he paused, and beheld just before him a genuine specimen of Vankeedom, cool ly engaged, with a large jack-knife, in reducing a pine stick to the smallest possible dimensions, the while humming and whistling the national tune of Yan kee Doodfr with variations. Now if Horatio Stagewell had any one fanlt more prominent than another, it was his constant desire to impress every one with his own greatness. Consequent ly, no sooner did he perceive the Yan kee, with the large blade gleaming than he felt himself called upoA to do Mac beth ; and he forthwith began, with all the appropriate gestures: ‘ Is this a dagger that I see before me! Its handle towards my ha-n-d! Gome! let me clutch theo-af ‘Why, helty! stranger—what are you making all this tarnal fussabont!— Ibis ain’t no dagger, neow—but a jack I . ,, knife—worth fifty oaota, clean cash.—I hut this of course waa the Gin forty-eight for’t myself-—I a wow I did!—bat seeing it’a yew, yew can have it forty-five—’cause I ppy thought struck the manager, f it was one of the bills.’ He had Often tL * ~ “ -'cause 1 want tu some tin the west kind. Aha L.- v bought of producing a Yankee play—but had not, for want of m actor to do the Yankee part.— Here was one to his hand, who eowU do it n0teral, wad no mistake. He would engage him ‘Late of foe Park, New Yora,’ get 0«t tome showy bills. with excitement; ‘ Wal, kinder guess I couldn’t du the Yankee neow—may be as how yew could pint somebody out tu me as could. Ye-a-s ; that’s the opinion o’ Obed Weazelface;' and Obed shut his jack-knife with a loud ring, and coolly placed it in his pocket, crossed his legs and arms, as he would have said it, ‘Jest kinder looked.’ The bargain was soon struck ; Obed was to have a share, on condition that he pleased the audience; and off both went in high spirits—the one to study his part, and the other to write and get printed a flaming show-bill—the latter, by the way, not so easy to accomplish, as Devilpress, the printer, thonght it time to show bill himself. However, Stagewell being, as before intimated, a 'genius,' soon ir.snaged matters, and before night the only press in town was in rapid operation, Devilpress himself as pressman. That night. Bill Sticker, with his paste-pot, who also acted as door-keeper, was seen to look very knowing, and the following day every body was gaping at large placards, con taining the important information, that: ‘Horatio Stagewell, being very thank- fnl for the liberal patronage heretofore received, and fully determined to merit a continuance of public favor, and to spare no expense to gratify the prevail ing taste of the liberal people of Ep som—had, at an enormous expense, se cured/or one atghl only, the highly dis tinguished and unrivalled commedian, Charles Augustus Adolphus Simpson, I'ccently of the Royal Theatre, Lon don, and late of the Park, New York, who would have the honor of appear ing before the intelligent citisens of Ep som on to-morrow evening, in his fa vorite and most distinguished charac ter of Seth Slideoff, in the Yankee play of How He Did it, as performed by him sixly consecutive nights in London, eighty in New York.’ Several other plays were announced, 1 tliis of coarse was the Wffoig fea ture of attraction, and as Stagewell sipped his ‘rot-gut,’ renewed on the strength of it, he rubbed his hands and declared to his theatrical friends, ‘ That L»A <• »* » » ‘ How d’ye do,’ repeated the prompt er, while the other actor stood staring in astonishment. ‘Tu Vannont,’ pursued Obed; ‘and right nice State ’tis, tu—’spect you’ve heerd tell on’L Wal ’ ‘ How d’ye do,’ went the prompter again. ‘ As I’s about tu say ’ ‘ How d’ye do.’ ‘ I left hum tu ’ ‘ How d’ye do—HOW D’YE DO —fairly roared the proprietor, out of all patience. ‘ Putty wal, 1 thankee—heow’s your self?’ said Obed, turning to the side scene ; ‘ I wish yew wouldn’t bother a feller in the show-play. Ye-a-s, (to the audience) as I’s a saying ’ By this time the real joke began to get wind, and a tremendous roar of laughter and confusion, to which thun der ‘ couldn’t hold a priming,’ shook the very walls of the Thespian Temple, mingled with the cries of‘Good! good! go it boots!’ ‘ Put him out!’ ‘S-s-s-s —S-s-s-s!’ ‘Three cheers for Obed!’ ‘Them’s the sort,’ cried Obed, think ing it all a very good joke. ‘ Got it, by gosh! Keep her up! I’ve agreed to make you laugh, and I’ll do it or die, I swow I will!’ and delighted at his success, Obed shut his eyes and opened his mouth, put his hamls upon his knees, and gave the audience an ocular demonstration of what he could do in the laughing line. Amidst the confusion and boisterous excitement, out rushed the manager, rage and consternation depicted on his countenance, and seizing Obed by the arm, shouted in his ear. ‘ What in the do you mean, sir? You have ruined my reputation, sir!’ ‘ Oh, reputation be darned! llain’t I made ’em laugh putty—neow, come?’ ‘But the play, sir!—the play, you villain!’ ‘ Play go to grass! M ho cares for play, when there’s fun abeout ?’ ‘You’re a—a—villain, sir!’ scream ed Stagewell, frantic with passion, seizing Ohed by the throat—the delight ed audience at this time sereaming, shouting, and cheering. ‘ You havn’t played the character—you—you rascal!’ Stagewell as knows How He Did It.’ # WESTERN GRINDILOIU’ENCI AS EXHIBITED ON THE WITNESS STAND. "We do not believe the following has ever seen light. It is given from me- mory. A case occurred in some Western Court, in which the issue was an as sault with intent to kill. The judicial record states the names of the parties as being McFadden vs. Bally. A bro ther of the plaintiff, who seems Jo have had a veto of humor strangely co-inin- gling with his king cambjpes jugular, being qualified, was requested by the council for the defendant to state what he knew of the case; whereupon, with a ludicro-majestico air, he began as follows: “Gentlemen of the grand jury.” “This is not the grand jury, Mr. McFadden,” interposed his honor. “Quite unmaterial, judge—Gentle men of the jury, a dificulty ensued (?) between my brother, and this gentle man, some six months ago. I tried up on several occasions to sec if I could bring about a reconciliation; but, gentle men of the jury, it seems it could not be done. And, a few days since, the two parties met in the road, and a difficulty ensued. My brother prepared for bat tle by dismounting from his horse and picking up a rock in his hand. The other gentlemen drew a bow ie knife de liberately from his side and came at my brother in a menacing manner and a carving attitude. My brother display ed great generalship, bv retreating in good order—that is (aside to his honor,) by running like d—nation.” * “ What was the remoteness of your position,” exclamed the counsel for the defendant, mimicking Mr. McFadden’s high-faluten, “from the two parties, when this difficulty ensued 1” “ Ten foot, four inches and a half.” “How came you to know the distance so exactly?” asked the attorney. Because, sir,” said.McFadden, “ I sup posed some d—d fool, like yourself, sir, would ask me the question, sir, and I took the pains to measure it, sir!” And having spoken thus, the dignifi ed deponent left the stand, and strutted out of the court with an air of majestic independence, only pausing to wave a graceful adieu to the court, and to say, “ Yours w ith due respect and high con sideration, Gustavus Adolphus McFad den.”—Edgefield Advertiser. A STOT SPEECH. The following specimens of quaint humor we find in one of out exchanges under the head of “California corres pondence.’ They purport to have been delivered by a stump candidate at San Francisco. Fellow Republicans and Fellow Citizens: I am a plain and modest man born at an early period of my existence, which great event occurred at home one night while my mother was out I have struggled from the obscurity to w hich an unlucky star had doomed me till I have risen like a bright exhalation in the evening, to foe very summit of human greatness and grandeur. Gen tlemen, I profess no principles—unfor tunately, I have none. On the unhappy occasion of my birth, a dismal and mel ancholy man clothed in the sombre hues of mourning, swapped me away for another baby, and subsequently lost me at a raffle. Sad event! But who can control this ? We are the tures of destiny. There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will. I was intended by nature for a great statesman. Had I lived in the days of Hannibal, 1 should have beaten the great chieftain in crossing the Alps and it is a dead certain thing that I could have distanced Cortez in crossing the Isthmus. He never performed the feats that I did ; he never came up to the Cbagres river in a canoe with a deaf and dumb ‘hombre,’ without a red cent or a change of summer apparel. ‘But 1 a light heart and a thin pair of breeches •a .* - - - EvenrMy felt more or leas excited, and on foe important night the house for the font time, was filled with all ktofo of anatoae citizens, eager to be- hoM the foatingtiahed stranger, who, for U» last twa days, stalk, paaWMy had been the as he had ap ‘ Wal, guess maybe I’d better begin neow, then,’ rejoined Obed, jerking him self away, knocking Stategewell down, and bolting for the street _ _ . ,, | a ngnt neart and a thm pair of b It is impossible to describe the scene Inerri , th h ^ world which ensued. Down went the curtain; 1 - - - - the audience broke up in a general row; and Manager Stagewell, having par- tially recovered his senses, and know ing what a ‘ tight fix he was in,’ broke for the door-keeper, to get his dimes and bolt To his consternation, the door-keeper could not be found; and a little boy gave the astounding informa tion, ‘ That he’d seed him and a long- legged fellow streaking off like forty.’ That night and the following day, the village of Epsom was in a state of nervous excitement Men were seen running throngh the streets with months wide open and both hands on their ribs; while the sherifo poor fellow! was knocking down theatre fixing! to two wo-begone looking landlord* and one printer—the only bidders—but not a soul who had ever made any preten sions to the stage could be found in ‘them diggins.’ About ten miles up the river, a long, spindle-legged Yankee was heard in quiring ‘Heow much for as fur’s yew J o, captain F while double that number own the stream, a strange figure might have been seen, as James would say, dressed in theatrical rights, coat and wig, with paint perspiration stream ing down hit face, riding ‘shank’s mare,’ at a feat trot, and ever and anon mut tering, with violent stage gestures—-to ‘He did it, I’ll be Mowed if he didn’t’ • • Sir, every man who has come here is a Coiambus. He comes to discover new diggings. I am a Columbus! 1 was dead broke at home, as Columbus was, and I have come here to strike a new vein. But I am not going to the mines! Oh, no. You don’t catch me up to my waist in ice-water with a juvenile pickaxe and an incipient crow bar laboring under a heat of one hun dred degrees in the shade, to dig out the filthy lucre. No sir, 1 am not on that lay. I hate labor—it was an inven- tion to vex qsankind. I prefer an office, dtie that is lucrative, and not laborious; what yon call a sinecure. And if 1 can not get one myself, I will go in for any man who will divide on the dead level, and no splits. • • • Sir, where will you find a country like this? Talk not of the ori ental gorgeousness of Eastern countries. Tell us not of the fairy scenery which poets, who revel in the great warm path of heavenly imagination, paint with golden pens on leaves of sarin.— The description of this beautiful conn- try should be written with the golden wand of an angel, dipped in the soft est rays of the sunbeam upon the blushing and delicate surface of the rose leaf. Excuse me, gentlemen, I ex cept only the rainy season, mid the time when the foist flies. We love our native land—we honor her flag, and would not rob the custom house if we had a fair show. But Con gress must not put on anjr airs, or we will take charge <>f the custom-house and pont-olliee, and make a muss generally. Those are my sentiments, gentlemen.— If they don’t admit ns into the Union, we will burst open the custom-house, and admit all liquors free of duty. And now with a parting blessing upon the girls we left behind us, and the boys who are coming after us, we will ad journ and take a private drink. BEAUTY LN IEN. BY MRS. M. A. DENNISON. “I ean tell when a wo1nan ( s face is beautiful,” said a friend to us the other day, “but I don’t know what you call a handsome man.” We might have referred him to the popular romance of the present day for the description of manly beauty but hav ing little sympathy for those perfect beings with expansive brows of snowy whiteness, oblong, drooping, deep or piercing blue, black, or grey eyesfinelv chiselled features rich wavy curls, and all the minutia of fancied perfection we simply said we believed there was no particular standard of beauty, recogni sed among the ladies with reference to his sex and wo think that in so saying we were correct “I do not like a pretty man With pretty lisp and pretty walk, With hands that prettily sport a fan, And delicate lisps that prettily talk,” says a lady at our elbow, an interesting sensible one too. The frank, open countenance cheer ful with the light of a sunshiny disposi tion the thoughtful, placid brow broad or low lips firm when in thought, yet flexible and smiling in conversation the goodness of a refined nature illumina ting every lineament, give us these in preference to all your set, fine faces. And even the irregular features ofwhat are called decidedly plain men, we have seen glow with an expression absolute ly beautiful as some all pervading theme of interest lighted np the face, so that the crooked nose, even the heavy sha- pelesa forehead and the dull eyes, have caught a reflection of the inner loveli ness, the beauty of the soul. Then gentlemen, remember it does not need the air and face of an Adonis to please and interest us ladies. Only let’ us read upon the countenance the stamp of a cultivated mind, or the quick lighting np oftlie eye, as some generous impulse prompts to an act of kindness, let us behold you at once dig nified and courteons, gentle and refined to all alike, even to the erring, delicate in your attentions (especially to us ladies) unbending in your will, only when in the absolute right, gentlemanly in vour eddress, and neat in person, and we will all—those whose opinion is of any value of course—pronounce you handsome, without a dissenting voice. Remember that the qualities of the lusart and the actions of the life stamp features with an ineffaceable mark either with goodness or vileness and cultivate those affections and habits which will write upon the tablets of your countenance that which no one 1 reading can but love and admire. Flight of Fancy.—We were a good deal interested recently by a speech addressed by alawyer to the ju ry. He remarked: “I do not ask you, gentlemen of the jnry, to go back with me through the long vista of by-gone centuries and re examine the explorations and resources I do not ask you to go with the astron omer into the starry firmament, to the newly discovered planet Neptune! No! gentlemen of the jury, I only ask you to start with me from the county jail, and travel two miles and a half from Pittsburg!” We dont know whether the Jnry went or not. Getting out of Danger.—A boy xfoo was troubled with the toothache, determined to liave the old offender ex tracted; but there being no dentist liv ing near, he resolved to do the job him self whereupon he filled the excavation with powder, but being afraid to tonch it off, he put a slow match to it set it on fire and then ran. There is only one thing worse than ignorance, and that is eonceit fotsll intraotible fools, deliver us frcrePan overwise man. You may make idiots, philosophers—you may coax donkeys to forego thistles—but don’t ever think of driving common sense into the heads of eonceited persons. They are as im pregnable to argument as Gibralter is to an apple dumpling. Aovica FOR the Times.—Live tem perately go to chnrch—attend to yoar own affaire love all the pretty giris— marry one of them—live like a man gnd die like a Christain. Cupid’s bow is the Aaiafea tell as, strung with liees, which aretofit to sting, sometimes fatally, those who tueddle with it. Curiosity is a kert^of the forbidden fruit, which still sticKeUi in the throat of a natural man, sometimes to the dan ger of his choking. A few years since, at the celebsMfon of our national anniversary, a poor ped lar who was present, being called upon for toast offered the following; “Here is a health to poverty: it sticks to man when aU other friends desert him. A happy home is a glorious and in- stractive sight; one wlith it does the heart good to foe, and which once be held, ieavee an ineffaceable impression tm the mind. It is the part of woman, Sfe her own beautiful planet to cheer the darkness to be both the morning and evening stare of man’s life—the light of her eye is the first to rise, and the last to set upon manhood’s day of trial and sufl’ering.
