TO THE YOUNG MEN.
 Extract from the Speech cf Daniel Webster.
 "I feel that it is not for me. much less for those who are farther adva need in life than | am, to come to the rescue fthis constitution {; the young men of the country arc at this mo- meUt in main hope. Youth is generous its patriotism is free from seIishness; it is full of just and ardent impulses, and those are feel iDgs that become it. Early manhood is san. guine-lnen Ofthis state of existence have a long life before them, and they naturally feel deep interest in the events which are tO in- huence their whole future career. May we not, then, Aatter ourselves that these young men will lay it to heart to preserve this great PairimOny? Ifthey are careless of their per sOnal patrimony, we call them wastetuI but what shall we call them if they throw from them this pearl of great price-the constitu- tional liberty of their country. It IS for the young men then to direct their Gttextion to the preservation fthat patrimony, the like Q fmhich no other young men cdn boast O patrimony s0hich neither kings nor potentates can bequeoth to their Qfspring and aOhich. the present pos sessors h0ue received at he price cf their athers blood. IfH De necessary to success. continued Mr. Webster, politics must De made tke business cf oWr Hves must De our daily occupation"
 Remarkable Generosity.--The Natchez (Miss.) Journal relates an anecCOte of New Orleans gentleman, who had a tenant that had occupied a building of his for some years. During the recent pressure. the tenant called upon his landlord, and said he was unable then to pay his rent for the preceding month, and reminded him that he had punctually paid him his rent ($s4 per mOnth) for seven years. The landlord was memorable. and told him he must move, and gave him fifteen days to find a house. Before the fifteen days ex- pired, the tenant called and paid his rent the landlord handed him piece of paper. saying, there is your receipt." Upon the expiration of the fifteen days, the tenant again called, and informed the landlord that he had obtained house, and was moving.-1 The landlord replied, "you are foul. sir you are a fool! Go look at your receipt you will find that it is in full for the rent for twelve mOnths.' The tenant, who had not examined it, went home, in great surprise, and when he found it, to his still greater as- tonishment, was bill of sale of the whole property-wOrth at least fourteen hundred dollars !-Boston Trans.
 4 good Hit.-We do not recollect more @ an address, by young whig, at the Capitol. Referring to Mr. Van Buren's principles, and the facility with which he made him sOmer- sets, the speaker remarked, that it reminded him ofa certain old lady and her soo. '' Mo ther (said the boy) can the leopard change his spots ?'' Certainly my child (replied the Matronl fhe don't like one spot he cGn go to amOther." And SO with Mir. Van Buren.- When one set of principles no longer answer his purpose, he casts them aside. and with the agility ofthe leopard, ''he goes to aaother.,"

 Ihe Awctioneer.-There is no man who spends SO much breath. who talks SO fast. and is so lavish of words. as the aucriOneer. He repeats the same thing over and over a. gain, and never grudges his labor. He is fond of smart sayings and sudden turns in the sense; and he is witty. at the expense of his goods, or at the expense Ofl his customers without confusion. But he sometimes very Iadicrously mixes up different subjects in the same sentence. For instance, lately dropping in at a book auction, there happened to be a man who annoyed the company and the auc- tioneer with segar. The book had gone up to twenty y-seveD cents and half, and the auctioDeer dwelling upon it, cried. 's And half, and half, and n half''--when smelling the annoyance, he shouted out, "D-n your segar !-and half, and half, twenty -seven and half-thirty-thirty-t two and a half, and a halE-kick out that man with the segar. and a half, and hale-going, going-thirty-fve. thirty .five-thirty -seven and half-curse that segar smoke !-and half. and halE- I'd rather have the devil about me-and halt. and half. and hslf-it gives me the halt, aOd half-going, going --fOrty, forty cents-forty two aDd a halC- who is putting birthstone On the stove !--and haIf, and half. and half--I wish had hold of that boy-and half, and halE-Fd choke the rascal-and a half and halC-gO- ing, gOing-who says forty -fve-nOt half the price of the book--and half, and halt, for ty-twO and half-f0rty -Rve--nOw fOrty-sev- en and halt, aud hAlE---a treatise of the tooth .ache, gentlemen-M hO'll give kfly ceDts fOrthe tOoth-ache, and half, aud . half, for ty seven aOd half--lOOk at that boy there aud half, and half--pOcketing one of those
