AN Awrur THREAT.=A Scotch pa- per tells a story of a dairy farmer, who after the funeral of his wife drove a hard bargain with the grave digger. At last the indig- vant grave-digger, bringing his hand down on the gravestone, exclaimed "Down wi' anither shillin' or up she comes !" A New American Norox."--It is said that the ladies of Troy have invented a new feature in their fairs. A parcel of handsome gills set themselves up and allow gentlemen to kiss them for twelve and a half cents per kiss. Oue girl made sixty- {twa dollars in one evening. One man took eleven dollars' worth. A negro woman was relating her ex- perience lo a gaping congregation of her own color, and among other things she said she had been in Heaven.

Whore There's a Will There's 2 Way. There is a gredt deal said in these latter days about affinities in the marnage relation, and about congeniality, and all 'sorts of things., But does nof Nature always work by contrasts ? If there is an excess in one lace, is there not sure to be a want in an- other? Extremes meet, and so they did when Tom Jones, the easiest man in town paid his addresses to Kitty Logan, the young school ma'am who had to take the village school in the township of Niles; where the | ing is a great thing in a family. big boys always tarn the master out of doors | at Christmas, or make him treat. Tom | Jones had a rich fathér, a hard-working mother, and one proud sister, and could aiford 10 be lazy. Mr. Jones the elder came west in very early times, located near the town of Niles, lived in a fog cabin ten years, shook himself out of jot with the ague, | wore it out, and never had it afterwards. -- | But a poor neighbor, who hid a large farm a! mile from Mr. Jones, could not wear it out, | Lis wile died, his children suffered, he offered his farm cheap, and Mr. Jones bought him out, promising to pay some- time. v A yea: or so afterwards, discouraged with | his crops, and his inability 10 pay for the | new farm, he tried to persuade the farmer to i take it back, which he refused to do, a law- | suit ensued, and the matter ended by poor | Jones being compelled to keep the faim and | pay the costs. Terrible was the biow, but | be lived through it; and five years after- wards, when the Ohio and Miseissippi Railroad passed directly through the same farm, and set up a station house exacti in the ceitre, he found himself a rich man. -- He sold town lots at high prices, sent his | =on Tommy to Jacksvaville, 10 he educated, | his daugiter Susan to Mouticeilo.

Kitty's echoo! house was in the country where the elder Jones lived, having burt himself a fine house with «modem im- provements," though he did not exactly know what to do with it, nor his wife either. They stil tried to get along as comfortably ire it at hand. Into it they walked, mute with astonishment, to tind the favorite furniture, even to Susan's piano. said Kitty, gravely. "I had anticipated trouble, and with the money 1 have been laying up for a tew years, I have been able, by the kind assistance of my husband's as possible, while Susan enjoy 3 ingly, and kept the great double parlor full of company, which her weary and worn mother knew well how to cvok for if she did not knew how to entertain. Good cook- Well, Tommy--or, as we must now call him, "Mr. Thomas Jones, Councillor and Attorney-at-Law," fell deeply in love with Kitty, 'and it 1s supposed she fell in love th-him ; and they were married. Now we have really begun our tale, hich we are not writing merely to tell a yy as you see, but to illustrate a princi- . as well as to relate a fact. / Mr. Thomas Jones opened his office in Niles, and supposed all the world would call | upon him for counsel, as he was setting up in good style ; but shrewd little Kitty insist- ed that a plain way was best. She did not desire any such display as had been made by some of their neighbors, who had grown suddenly rich. - One day a< they were driving gaily bf a miserable looking hovel, in the suburbs, with broken windows, and doors off the hinges, a mudhole near, and the pigs look: ing in through the door at a besotted man-- as if they sympathized with and had a fel- low feeling for him in his desradation, Mr, Thomas Jones said to his wife :-- a> "How would yon like to live in such a place as that, my dear?" " Not at all, of course," was the reply. "There is no knowing what may hap- pen," said he. "My frend there, Mary Bell, was, three years ago, to all app-ar- ances, as well off as you are to-day ; but' her | 1 If in wore kid gloves, accepted the nomination for the Legislature, and unexpectedly found him- self elected, and mating laws for his coun- trymen, at t! apital of the Prairie State.

Tom pT irom Jacksonville, with his sheepskin properly tied 'with blue rib- bons, diessed superbly. had the best tarn- out in town, wore a tremendous pair of whiskers ; and of course Kitty Logan felt flattered when he offered to wait on her home from church, or called after school to take her out riding. Miss Susan Jones took no little pains to find out that Kitty was distantly related to the Summers and Lin- colus of Massachusetts, but soui..ow she did not learn the impostant fact that Kinny had worked at straw-braiding in the pre town of [Iexboro', until she had eawcd money enoush to ed e herself. "Where there's a will, there's a way," said Kitty, and now I can + paddie my own canoe" out west, Where they say nothing is wanted but the power to do, ard the wii to put the power in motion. .\ So bidding her few friends good bye, for she was an orphan, she douned her pretty litle straw EX, which her pretty little fingers had plaited, sewed and pressed, and trimmed with neat drab ribbon with a neat blue edge, which corresponded exactly with her drab travelling dress and cape, and matched her blue eyes toa T. Thus she started for Illinois, where a friend of hers lived, and had written tg her. She thought a school could be procured. She was a little homesick. when she arrived at Niles, and would have given vue of the gold pieces she had hid away in a private pocket of hers, for a look once mote at the rough rocks and boll oFursiiad Just So.--A young ied y whose husband had "gone to the war," heard in conversation the remark that the Government wanted more cavalry and more infantry.

It first attacks the head, then the extremities commence to shake tremendously, and wheu the legs are reached, so violent is the shaking that they commence running, carry- ing the unfortunate body and other mem- bers with them ; and this is kept up although the most strenuous efforts may be made both front and rear to stop them. This disease first broke. out very recently, and is sup- posed to be quite prevalent yet. Some call it the «Trotting Disorder," while others call ita "pinic," and a "stampede." Mr. Davis of the South, very kindly offered to cure the disease, but the men would not or Py s d by the evergreens that surrounded ber own native home. She would even have bounded wi i joy at the sound of the old factory bell that used to call the merry girls fozether for their long evening toil. Still she did not say so, but put on a cheerful fice, sought out the directors, and made her application. Mr. Smith, the main man, looked as if the litle blue-eyed minx, with her rosy lips, had insulted his dignity by eéming to offer herself to teach school in that neighborhood. But as she cflered to teach three dollars a month cheaper than the last incumbent, and wrote such a pretty hand, which they could read like print, and besides had such a winning way, they agreed to hire her. ~To the astonishment of everyboly Christ- mas and New (¥yars weut by, and the mis- tress instead of being shut out or having to treat, was surprised to find herself treated, her desk lodded with presents and even Bill stokes, who had always been called the worst boy in town, had headed a surprise party in the evening, which filled Misy Logau's little room at Parson Brown's with pledges of good will. " Where there's a will there's a way," sad Kitty. «I knew, Mr. Smith, I should not have any trouble with'the boys; they are as good as need be." " Of course they be," answered the blunt old farmer, who by lution ot railroad husband lated high, iost, took to drink, and there she is." "I can't help that," answered Kitty "no drunkard can put me in such a place as thar." "Don be too sure, deary," said Thomas Jones. "Sure !"" said Kitty, with spirit, «| am just as sure as this, that there is not a man living whose foitunes I would follow down as low as that." "What would you du? "Pray, let us know the secret." " One thing I would not do," replied the'l young matron, promptly, * I would uot be a drunkard's wife." " How would you Lielp yourself 27 " Where there's a w Licre's a way," said Kitty ; « but don't let us talk of that.-- Surely I shall never have a drunken hus- band." And with a deep shadow over her brow that came fike a presentiment of evil, the ride was continued in silence. Two years went by, and Mr. Thomas Jones grew more and more easy. Bad bar- gains, were made, speculations entered into; convivial companions drew Lim from Niles to the capital. His well filled purse made iim welcome everywhere. Kiny, goed little soul, seeing things goinz a little out of the way, would persist in giving music lessons and teaching the young ladies of Niles to paint, and then fitung up a class of earnest boys in Latin for college, adding dollar to dollar, like a wise little wife.-- Then, in the Joug winter even zs, when her husband was with his club or down street, easy follow that he was, her fingers grasped a good steel pen, and many a pleas- ant tale went forth to the world, well paid for through the J 1 To make a long story shoit, 'the crash of 1857 found Mr, Thomas Jones aud his father directly underit; and down they went--so low that Bi\ly Fitch, the drayman, deciared he could't enough te pay him for hauling the goods 10 an auction rovm.-- Town lots, big houses, all went together: and Mr. Jones the elder, was found ene morning, in October, 1857, suspended to a beam in his own barn, at the end of his wife's patent clothes line; and on that eventful moruing, Mr. Thomas Jones, Jr. lay stretched his whole length on the counter of a lager beer saloon,--i{ not drurk, so stupid, "that he didn' get home. till morning." : The terrible suicide happened on the very mo:ning when both families were leaving the great house, to live in the very hovel whuch, two years before, Kitty had declared she could not be brought to live m. Three days before her husband had said with a thick tongue :-- . £¢ You have got to come to it, Kitty, after all, you see it ain't so easy keeping out of hovels."" Kitty made no reply, but with a resolute will, she went on herown way. When the funeral was over, che led the weary, heart- broken mother, and the proud paralyzed sister to the new shelter, and the now sober- ed hustanid followed Lad been brought almost into town. ¢[ can almost wish 1 was a big boy myself, just to show how good I could be." : Mr. Smith laughed, and Kitty tripped Telegraph Store. | Whithy, Feb. 22, 1860. Corot eould uot stop to take his medicine. What a sight met their gaze! the hovel was a neat coltage, every pane was in the windows, the floors neat and clean, and the 3% hitewashed, the lhole gone, along to her task, carrying her little basket and the pleasant comforts of home on every F y 10 secure this is ny own name, and to make it a comfortable home for your mother and sister. Now it remains for you to say whether I shall be the wife of a man. The wife of a drunkard 1 will never be "| longer than the law compels me. "1 shall hold the deeds of this property in my own hands," she continued. «If you will we can be happy here. My school is open for me, even in the " liovel." Our child must not live to see or know its father's shame. Forsake your drinking company, and | will be faithful to the end. If you go on as heretofore, I will take my- elf and my infant beyond your reach." She conquered, just as she did with the big boys. Thomas Jones has not been in- side of a lager beer saloon since that mem- orable day. Miss Susan is a wiser and a better woman, than before the fall. The aged mother is only sorrowful that the dead cannot return and see how happy cheerfulness and industry can make a family. Kitty still works away, her blue eyes and golden hair, like the blue sky and spring sunshine, shedding light and joy all aiound her. She sometimes say< quetly to Susan, that she will teach young Thomas, the third, that jmportant lesson which has been her | jalisman through life,--that « Where there's a will theres a way." -- * Influence of Man on the Future, In reasoning on the future aspect of vital- ity, we must ever make allowance for the influence and operations of man, who comes on the present stage of geological time as a sub-creative power and new modifying agent. In the olden epochs (he laws of change acted solely through the operations their control took ages to accomplish, may now under the agency of man, be brought about within the scope of a single century. To the erialism and ism of the | past we now add the mentalism of the pre- seut--an emanation. "after God's own image," and a reasoning instrument in the hands of tiie Creator to effect most impor- tant changes on the vitality of the globe.-- The modifications brought about by man in his onward progress are already remarkable, though only the merest fraction of what they are destined to be under the influence of in- cre 1g population and higher civilization. n Lis onward progress of cultivation, ob- serve how many species of plants he des- troys, and how many new varieties he creates ; how by his drainage and tillage he modifies soil and climate, making new con- ditions, obnoxious and fatal to some races and congenial to others; and how, in tak- ing posession of new countries, he destroys the carniverous and dangerous animals, and substitutes the domesticated iu their stead --extirpates the indigenous flora, and plants in its place the vegetation of other regions! Mark what changes the white man has wrought within the last few centuries on the life of the globe, in North and South Ameri- ca, in Southern Africa, in Australia, and in New Zealand, by the extirpation, the intro- duction, and the wterghange of spebies '-- With the exception of the dingo, or prob- lematically native dog, no placental mam- mal was known in Australia, which lay like a belated outlier of secondary life at the pation, i hange, and tr ion of species, has been effected by man within the lapse of a few centuries; and note how' " Where there's a will there's a way," |i possible it is to predi of future life- changes where such a power has been superinduced upon the purely physical agencies of nature! It is true that man's influence has its limit. He may modify, but he cannot create--extirpate, but cannot pl may alter the distributi i can- not change the ch of funectiofial per- formance. Over and above him are the great external conditions of nature, to which he is as subject as the meanest creature he modifies ; but within certain limits he acts as a sub-creator, and this influence must ever be allowed for in all our reasonings on the future aspects of viwlity.-- Page's * Past and Present Life of the Globe." ' Delicacy. Above every other feature which adorns the female character, delicacy stands fore- most within the province of good taste. Not that delicacy which 118 | perpetually in quest of something to be ashamed of, which makes a merit of a blush and sim-~ pers at the false construction its own n- genuity has put vpon an innocent remark : this spurious kind of delicacy is 'as far re- moved from good taste, as from good feeling and good sense ; but that high-minded deli- cacy which maintains its pure and un- deviating walk alike amongst women as 1 the society of men ; which shrinks from no necessary duty, and can speak when re- quired, with seriousness and kindness, of things at which it would be ashamed indeed to smile or to blush-- that delicacy which knows how to confer a benefit without wounding the feelings of another, and which understands also how and when to receive without display and advice without assump- tion, and which pains not the most hom= ble or susceptible being in creation. This is the delicacy which forms so important a part of good taste, that where it does not exist as a natural instiuet, it is taught as of purely physical gents, and what under | the first principle of good manners and considered as the universa! passpoif to good society.-- Mrs. Ellis. Sheridan and the Boots. He had always a taste for the art of dup= ing, and he had begun early in life--soon after leaving Harrow. He was spending a few days at Bristol, and wanted a pair of new boots, but could net afford to pay for them. Shortly before he 1cft, he called on two boot-makers, and ordered of each a promising payment on delivery. He fixed the morning of his departure for the trades- men to send in their goods. When the first arrived Le tried on the boots and complained that the oue for the right foot pinched a litle, and ordered Crispin to take it back, stretch it, and bring it again at nine the next' morning. The second arrived soon after, and this time it was the boot for the left foot which pinched. 'Same complaint ; same order given; each Jagr saben away only the pinching boot, #nd™eft the other behind. The same afternoon Sheridan Jeft in his new boots for town, and when the two shoemakers called at pine next day, each with a boot in his hand, we can imagine their disgust at finding how neatly they had been duped.-- Wits and Beaux of Society. -- An Epitaph. An old fellow--a coarse ill-giained Gor- man died one day. He was a disagrecable man and' a bad neighbour; even the chil- dren feared and disliked him. One of his ght asked him just before his death, time of its d ry by Europ naviga- tors ; and now most of the quadrupeds of Europe are there thriving and increasing amazingly. Wien we tun to the New World, we find the same process on an older and larger scale. All the domesticated animals of Europe, naturally known in America, have firmly taken root in that con- tipent, and many of them row roam ina wild state as freely as if they had been in- digenious to the country. Even the pests aud vermin" of the Old World have insen- sibly found their way to the New ; and the New has not been slow in making reprisals on the Old by the transmission of such un- welcome settlers. In the {fulfilment of this great law of natural progress, the inferior races of Lis own kind are also vanishing before the civilization of the higher; and however much our sympathies may be ex- if he was ready to go? To which he answered ¢ Yes." « Well," , was the rejoinder, "if you are willing to die yours sell ali your neighbours aie willing that you should." At the grave, even, there was no one to say a word in his favor, ex< cept one good hearted old German, who remarked as he.tumed away to go home. "Vell, he was a good shmoker !" Tlis was the " shmoker's" only epitaph. Caution To MotnErs.-- Dost Ripe yoo aries Backwarps.--It is a very common thing to see mothers and servant girls thus pushing along the sidewalks the car- ges in which they are diving in- fants an airing on pleasait days: . An ex- change remaiks that the practice is a very dangerous one, and 1s liable to do great and ut injury tothe child. The position cited by the fact, their conti would be only to retard that divine scheme of ad- vancement to which everything above, be- neath, and around us h#%=exgr been nces- santly tending. No scieme of benevolent enlightenment can evet avert the fate of the n s of New Zealand and A lia; no project of civilization, however ingen- ous, postpone the doom \of the Red Indian. As the waves of progress have successively swept away the nationalities, pre-historic and historic of Asia and Europe, eo the same tide is irresistibly swelling towards the obliteration of mental and moral in- feriority in other regions.
