But ali the usual tests only strengthen
cd his original opinion. He showed i to
several of his bfother lapidaries, and they
were in ecstacies at the sight declaring
il one of the most briliants they had ever
seen. E,lfH +
Well," thought :ac at last, " even if
it be not diamond, the best judges think
il is and Il is the same to me as If 1t were.
l can sell it as a diamond, and that is G.
nough."
In returning it therefore, next day, he
asked its owner what sum would tempt
him to part with it.
"I have told YOU" he replied, that
value it much above It's real value. do
not wish to part with it."
81 will give you much morn than its
value as brilliant" said the jeweller. "I
will give you two thousand five hundred
pounds fot it," ..s . .,.
"That is ten times It's vaiuc,a SAID the
o'her, +" but can not part with It. lcan'

"I may venture another Offer" thought
he "I can sell it for five thousand;" then

civil tell you, candidiy," reJoined
the other, after pause, playing with the
ring, and drawing it several times off and
on his finger 4" I do hot think it right to
sell it but you seem 80 very anxious to
possess it, that l know not how to refuse
you. And yet-to take three, thousand
pounds for what is not worth three hum
dred. can hardly reconcile it to my con
science. Will you give me-" he added
at last, " a certificate from under your
hand, that you purchase this stone from
me-" not as diamond, bot Gas in truth it
is) rs false brilliant :"
+" With pleasure said the other, Gu
ger to close the bargain.
6 Then .he ring is yours"
The merchant Immediately wrote out
the certificate and check on his bank
er for three thousand pounds; and the
| stranger, drawing his ring from his finger,
presented it, and received the papers. :.
Thst same evening, the jewefler took
| out his treasure from one of the innermost
, drawers of his secret cabinet TO admire its
lustrc at his leisure. II seemed 10 him
f., less bright than bcfofc. Ife ribbed, first
The stone and then his eyes. Could he
have been deceived It certainly ,cas
iesa bright. He held it in a stronger
lisht--his siispicions increased-he ap-

the fraud was too evident. This was not
the ring he had so much admired. The
stranger had adroidtly substituted another
at the moment the bar gain was closed I:
and the lapidary had given three thousand
, pounds for bit Of paste. 49,.
+ But remedy there was none. There
r were witnesses enough to, prove the stran-
, gers repeated assertion TINT the diamond
| was false one, and even his own certifi-
cate would, testify to the same effect.
/ Sol smothered his bittef aisappoint-

gath boastcd to his brother lapidaries Of
his bargain in purchasing the diamond

Ifyou see man of Physic, with his
saddlc-bags filled with jugs instead Of
drugs, his horse standing nil night at the
tavern and feeding on post-meat instead
ofoats, who deals out opium for cathart
&c, and jalop for anodyne, whose very ap-
pcarance is perpetual emctic, and whose
breath is stronger than his medicine-that
man is full Of ardent spirits.
Ifyos see a man, with gait unstea eady his
head trembling, his face glowing
like h sheet Of flame, his breath as
hot as furnace, HIS tongue boggling at
small words, and as it were covered with
mitten, his head full of confusion and
his eyes full of rhume, his strength impair
ed, and his thirst perpetual-that man is
full oford-a spirits.
Ii you see a man Of faw, often ct the
tavern and seldom at his Office, who pre-
fers brandy to Blackstone, and punch to
pleading whose practice is principle at the
bar Of mine host, and whose caases prove
runous 20 his own effects and those of his
client-that man is full Of ardent spirits.

Happincss; is mich more equally divid

Happiness is mich more equally divid-
cd than some Of US imagine. One man
shall posses5 most OF the materials, but lit
tie ofthc thing; another may possess much
Of the thing, but very few Of the inateri-

ness has been beautifully compared to the
manria in the desert, he that gathered much
had nothing orer, and he that gathered lille
mad no lack; therefore, to diminish envy,
let us consider not what others possess,
but what they enjoy; mere riches may be

When I hear persons gravcly affirm
that they have made up their minds to
forego this or that improper enjoyment,
often think in mysolfthat it would be quite
as prudent, if they could also make Up
their bodies ss well. Falstaf would hare
been as obstemious at the bsrtquct as 4
hermit, and as firm in the battle as hero,
ifhe could have but gained over the con-
sent of his bclly,in the one cesc, and of
his legs in the other; tt that strires for
the mastery, must Join we'll disciplined
body, to wei! regulated mind; for VITA
mind and body as with man and wife, it
often happens that the stronger vessel is
rhred by t,c weaker, although in moral,
as in domestic economy, matters are best
conducted where neither parties are un-
reasonable, sd where both are agreed.

From the United States Telegraph, May %.
The Senate, Yesterday, passed the following
bills: The bill for the relief of the widows and
orphans of the officers and seamen who were lost
in the United States schooner Wild Cat; and
the bill to establish the Office of Solicitor
general of the treasury the bill to quiet the IT,
ties to certain land claims between the lines of
Ludlow & Roberts, in the state of Ohio came I'D
on its third reading, and was PASSED: yeas 81,
nays Is. The question of passing this bill was
debated by Messrs. Barnett, Mckinley, Tuler,
Forsyth, Vebster, Bib, Smith, of Md. and
Woodbury.. The unfinished business (Mr. F6ofs
resolution) was next taken up; when Messrs.
Benton and Sprague severally addressed the
Senate on the subject. On motion of Mr.. Cham
6ers to authorize subscription on the part of
the United States to the stock of the Baltimore
and Ohio Rail Road Company, was taken up,and
after debate in Which Messrs. Smith Of Md.
Chambers, Dudley, Bell, Smith Of S. C. Grm,-
dy, Benton, Hayne, Dickerson, Webster, and
Livingston, took part; several amendments were
submitted, and several motions made to postpone
the bill, and to lay it on the table; all of which
mot carried) were suspended by the motion of
Mr.. Chambers to adjourn:
In the House of Representatives, Mr. McDuE
fe from the committee of Ways and Means re-
ported bill to reduce after the 30th of Septem-
Der 1880, the duty upon molasses, to five cents
per gallon; and to allow drawback of four cents
per gallon upon spirits distilled from foreign ma
terials. After an Intellectual motion to lay the
bill upon the table, it was, subsequent to being
read twice, ordered to be engrOssed for a third
reading on Monday. Mr.. Verplanck, from the
same committee, reported bill for the closing
of certain accounts, making appropriation for ar
rearages in the Indian Department, which was
read first and second time and referred to
committee of the Whole on the state Of the u
Mon. The resolution formerly proposed from
the Committee on Agriculture by Mr. Spencer of
New York, to authorize the printing of ten
thousand copies of the manuel on the cul-
ture of silk, was called up and modified by that
gentleman so as to provide for the printing of six
thousand copies of the report of the Agricultural
Committee, of the 18th of March last, OH that
subject, and that the like number of copies of
Duponceau's and De Homegue's recent essays on
American silk. Mr.. Haynes moved to lay the
resolution on the table, but the proposition was
rejected by a vote of o. to II. The discussion
was arr ested by the expiration of the hour. Mr..
Bell moved to suspend the rule of the House, de-
voting Friday to the consideration of private bust
ness, in order to take up the Indian bill; but the
motion was negatived upon division, by yeas
and nays of 10Y to SO. The residue of the day
occupied in the consideration of private bills.

Ere.-About eleven O'Clock on "Wednesday
night, an alarming fire broke out in the lumber
ward of Messrs. Keyser & Gorgas.in Water street
above Callowhill. 1t commenced in pile OF
shingles near the counting house, and was doubt
less the work of an incendiary. 1t Is said to
have been discovered by a Waterman. Not
outstanding the unremitting exertions OF the
engine and hose companies, the fire was not
extinguished for many hours, nor until near
" the whole stock of Messrs. Keyser and Cor
gas, valued at more than $4,000 was consum-
ed. Considerable damage was done to the
lumber in the adjoining yard of Mr.. William
Randolph; but brick house and the favorable
direction of the wind, which was from the south,
enabled the firemen after some time, to arrest
its progress. Messrs. Kcyser and Gorgas, we
