 Silence, fool! replied the angel in a voice ofineffable contempt; [" it rather be- comes thee, ignorant mortal, to adore the goodness of Providence, which having or- dained that men should live to be old, mer- cifully decreed at the same time that the love of life should supply tke absence of all its sources of enjoyment. Go! take thy wish, and finish thy commentary on the apocalypse" ~. y. Mirror. 4 GhOSt.-A laboring man and his fam fly in the upper part of the city, and wo- man, to save expense, agreed to house themselves in one and the same dwelling, the precincts of each being duly determin- ed. The woman conceived such dislike to her neighbors, that she resolved to de- wise some expedient to make them quit the premises. She availed herself of eve Try opportunity to fill the heads of the ob- noxious women and children with terrible accounts of ghosts, hobgoblns, Sc. and finally declared that she verily believed the house was haunted with them. The husband of the family knew nothing of the matter, and one evening last week, when he was supposed to be absent, the old wo- man arrayed herself in what she conceived to be the proper habiliments of a ghost, and presented herself suddenly to the terrified senses of her neighbors. Screams and shrieks of horror reached the ears of the husband, who was fortunately not far from the scene of action, and rushing in, he be- held the object of their terror and dismay in full view before him. Nothing daunted by its appalling aspect, he resolved to as- certain it's true character rightly judging that if it was genuine ghost he should have nothing to contend with but shade, and if, on the contrary, it consisted of flesh and bones, it could not be ghost. He had no sooner begun to advance, than the ghost fled. He pursued, and after hot chase, succeeded in |" bringing it to-" and divesting it of its ghostly drapery, when To and behold, it stood forth in the form and aspect of woman! Yet thinking it hard that his family should be frightened by ghosts fitted up for the occasion, he deter mined to lay the matter before the Police the next day for their righteous decision. The ex-ghost, however, was more rapid in her movements than he was,-entered complaint against him for an assault and battery, and had him arrested. On ap- bearing before the police he related the a. bove ircumstances.-N. Y. Jour. of Com.

HENRY CLAY!

The Louisville Focus Of March Odd, contains an
endorsement in manuscript, that Mr.. Clay had just
arrived at that place from New Orleans.
The same paper, speaking of Mr. Chiltons rccan-
tatiou makes the following opposite application of
passage in Hume:
"a Court Lady, daughter Of che Earl Of Devon
Shire, having turned Catholic, asked by arch
bishop Lnud, the reason of her conversion. otis
chiefly, said she, because hate to travel in crowd.
The meaning of this expression being demanded she
replied, Il perceive your Grace and many others,
making hnsto for Rene, and therefore, to prevent
being crowded, have gone before you"
The truth is, that Mr.. Chiffon has only done what
thousands nrc preparing to do--raiy around Henry
Clay, tho Representative of the old Republ-
Party, the raying point of gocd feeling, and tho
only man able renspirc national confidence in the
worth and durability ofthe Union.
Mr.. Clay was enthusiastically received on the
whole limo from New Orleans to louisville.
We have been favored with the view of lc ter
from Washington of late date, and from q most re-
spectacle We copy sentence: "Clly's
popularity is rising. Ills warmcst friends could not
desire it to rise faster than Iacksons falling. Chi
ton is pioneer and his boldness is produced by the
knowledge that he will have plenty Of company"
