In illustration of the ardent professional am

anecdote is related in Littes Port Folio:
Some years ago, in conversation with us. be
said that IN voyage to sea in early life, he
had seen lad who had just begun 10 be sail
or, going out TO some projecting part of the
rigging. His arms were supported by a spar.
and he was looking below him for rope which
ran across, on which his feet should be. The
rope flew from side to side. and it was evident
that the poor fellow was becoming dizzy, and
in danger of falling, when the mate sbouied ~
him with all his force, look aloit you ub5etr'
By thus turning his eyes away from the dancer.
the dizziness was prevented, and he found his
footing. And this incident. the Doctor said
often required to his mind in liter life, when
his troubles grew heavy upon him, and he could
hardly find ground wherein 10 tread AT such
times he heard the mates shout in his ears. and
turned his eyes " aloit" to the prize upon which
he had fastened his hopes.

.aczr zcoy 10 get an otficc.-A late liar. rIsburg paper relates an anecdote worth repeating, as it may afford new light to office seekers in these days of Reform. An individual, in one of thc
 Western Counties of Pennsylvania, had q violent longing for the office of Jus. tlee- of the Peace, boon in the gift of the Governor, and not apt, by the way, to be dealt out with niggard hand.- But in this case, the applicant unfortu- nately lacked character; at least he was unable to procure tue necessary reconn-. mendation, to his excellency. His s'documentsn were not deemed sufii- cient, and he was disappointed in his object. The applicant, however, did not "giyc 1t up''-and fell upon q very ingenious plan of supplying the def eieney. II happened that petition had been circulated in his neighbor- hood, for the grant of few miles of turnpike road. To this the signat,.rcs were 'snunhrons and respectable 7 and
