DRAWING A PRIZE,

A fellow not much acquainted with the tricks of Dame Fortune, came into los- tery office in Broadway few days since, and wished to purchase the highest prize, which was exhibited before the door in glaring figures. s$20,OOO!' He was asked if he would have half ticket or whole one.
 A whole one to be sure,' said Hodge, there's no use in plaguing ones self with half prize; give us the whole or none twenty thousand dollars say r.
 He paid the cash, took the ticket and went away. During the interval between the purchase and the drawing, his head ran continually cn the twenty thousand dollars. He could not sleep o'nights, or if he slept, it was only to dream of money-of gold and silver by the bushel, or bank bills by the acre-aad to talk in his sleep of the wealth he was about to possess. His rev. eries--his day dreams as we'll as his sleep- ing ones-were of riches. He speculated on the pleasures he would enjoy-on the figures he would cut in the world. He laid various plans of employing and enjoying his wealth. He would purchase houses, horses, carriages; he would live in fine style; he would have servants to attend him i; and above all, he would eat as much gingerbread and lick as much 'lasses as he had mind to. He would also get him a handsome wife. The naughty Tabitha Tallboy, ,who had so long bafied his gallant endeavors, would no more turn up her nose at MT. Hodge. the rich MT. Hodge Peter Hodge. esquire. He would bring the proud huzzv to terms, if he didn't he would eat live ram-cat, that's all
 The drawing took place, and Hodge af- ter sleepless night, called at the lottery office for his prize. Walking in with the gait and dignity of man who comes to re. ceiye uoney and not to pay it. he laid hi, ticket on the counter and said
 'Now, Mister, I will take that littl, change, if it's convenient
 'Changei'
 'Ay, that priEe.'
 But siIs you've drawn blank
 '1'Oe drawn a blank wonder if hayel tell you what it is, Mister, hadn't nothing to do with the drawing didn't touch finger to it. But purchas ed prize t'other day of twenty thousan, dollars; and that's what I'm come after. SO none of your fooling.'
 But tell you sir, that your ticket ha drawn a blank
 We'll, don't care if it has drawn blankct-thst's no consarn of mine. A want is the twenty thousand dollars ths bought and paid for. not week ago.
 toll you sir,sE6u're mistaken
 Mistaken! SD am deucedly- thought you was an honest man. But yo sec there's no uso in trifiing with ms-lt man after my own heart. I purchase the highest prize, and I'll have it by tn

 "My Natiss Land, good night."-BEROE. The boat swings from the pebbled shore, And proudly drIVes her bow, The crested seas roll up baIore, Ton dark grey land see no more, How sweet thou seemest now! Thou dark grey land, my native land, Tn speeding from thy golden sand: But cal wave farewell hand To such . shore as Ihinsf I've gazed upon the golden cloud Which shades thine emerald sod; Thy hills, which freedoms share hath pl0w'd, Which nurse race that have not bowed Their knee to aught but God; Thy mountain floods which proudly fling Their waters to the fall- Thy birds which cut with rushing wing The sky that greets thy coming spring, And th0eght shy glOries small. But now ye've shrunk to you blue line Between the sky and sea, llfeel, sweet home, that thou art mine, l feel my bosom cling to thine Th@ am part 0fthee. see Hhee blended with the wave, As children see the earth Close up a saiRted mothers grave; They weep for her they canRot save, And feslher heiy worth. Thou meuutain land--,hou land of rock, Pm proud to call yeu free; Thy sons are ofthe Pilgrim stock, And nerved like 1hese wa,o stood the shock At old 4'hermopyIae. The laurel wreashs their fathers won, The children wear them sGll,- Proud deeds these iron men had done, They fought and won at Bennington, And bled at Bunker Hill. There's grandedt in the lightaingswOke, That rives thy mountain ash; There's glory in thy giant oak, And rainbow beauty in the smoke Where crystal waters dash: There's music in thy wnter blast,
 That sweeps the hollow glen; Less sturdy sons would shrink aghaat From piercing winds like those thou hast To nurse thine iron meR. And thou hast gems; ay, living pearls,
 And flowers of Eden hue; Thy loveliess are thy bright eyed girls, Of fairy forms and elfin curls ..e ". And smiles like Hermon's dew They've hearts like those they're born to wed, Too proud to nurse a slave: They scorn to share monarch's bed, And sooner lay their angel head
 Deep in their humble grave. And 1 have left thee, home, alone,
 A pilgrim from ,hy shore; The wind goes by with hollow moan, l hear it sigh warning tone
 " You see yonr home no moren' Tn cast upon the worlds wide sea,
 Torn like ocean weed; I'm cast away, far-far from thee, feel a thing cannot be-
 A bruised and broken reed. Farewell, my native land, farewell!
 That wave has hid thes new My heart is bowed as with spell, This rending pang!--WouId could tell
 What ais my throbbing brow; One look upon that fading streak
 Which bounds yon eastern sky: One tear to cool my burning cheek, And then word cannot speak

Iemperance.-Am much greater number
 of diseases originate from irregularities in eating than in drinking and we commit more errors with regard to the quantity than in the quality of our alimeDt. When the intestines are in a relaxed state, we should instantly begin to be more moderate in eating. There arc three kinds of appe. tite; 1. The natural appetite, which is equally stimulated and satisfied with the most simple dish. 2. The artificial appe- tite, or that produced by elixirs, liquors, pickles, digestive salts, &c. and which re- mains only as long as the operation of :hese stimulants continues. 3. The habitual appetite. or that by which we accustom ourselves totake victuals at certain hours, without desire of eating. If after dinner we feel ourselves as cheerful as before it, we may be assured we have taken dietic- al meal for if the proper measure has been exceeded, torpor and relaxation is the necessary consequence our faculty of di- gestion will be impaired, and variety oil complaints be gradually induced. Weakly individuals ought to eat frequently, but lit- tie at time. There is TO instance onl record of any person having injured his health or endangered his life by drinking water with his meals but wine, beer, and spirits have generated much greater num- Der and diversity of patients than would i'll all the hospitals in the world. It is vul- 1 gar prejudice, that water disagrees with many constitutions, and does not promote digestion so we'll as wine, beer, or spirits. On the contrary, pure water is greatly pre- ferable to all brewed and distilled liquors, both with view of bracing the digestive organs. and preventing complaints which arise from acrimony or fulIness of the blood. Ais an observation no less import ant than true, that by attending merely to proper diet, phlegmatic habit may fre- quently be changed into sanguine one, and the hypochondriacs may be so far convert ed as to become cheerful and contented member of society.

 Very well-but if you don't convince me, you see this death maul,' again eleva- ting his fist.
 The lottery man entered into an expla- nation of the freaks of dame fortune, and at length succeeded in convincing his cus- toner that his expected prize was actually blank, still the disappointment was so great, that he could not bear it with calm mind, and he exclaimed Well, if that doesn't beat all my great grandfather's relations, then there's no snakes-to pay the sum of ten dollars for the highest prize, and not get cent at last ?
 'Such things will happen sometimes
 'It's jofred hard though, I'll be hanged if it ain't. At least, Mister, you ought to circumfund the money.'

 We'll, just pay the cartman, then.'

 'Thirty thousand dogs tails don't tell me none of your pelaver-I've been cheat ed once't and that's enoug gh for me-Ill never get catched second time. Here, you cartman, you may load up this ere trunk again. J'll never trust these lotte- ry-sellers any more, if do, hang my gig gard, that's all.' Then giving the brokera look of irreconcilable hatred, he left the of- fee. He however, pretty soon accommo- dated his mind again to his humble pros- poets, declared that houses, horses, and those sort of things were only plague to a man-and as to Tabitha Tallboy, she might go to the old Nick for all him-he'd d never think of her again as long as he lived -never.-C Constellation.
