THE MOON.

If the tides of the ocean are raised from their fathomless bed by the power of the silver moon, it is not too much to believe that the tides of the atmosphere are subject in greater degree to the same mysterious influence.
 In tropical climates especially, the power of the moon over animal and vegetable life is believed by many to be very great, and why not in other portions ofthe globe also! It is stated by d learned writer, that in Dem arara there are thirteen springs and thirteen autumns every year. for so many times does the sap of the tree ascend to Its topmost branches and descend to the roots. For example, the paltabo, a resinous tree, com- mon III Demarara, and somewhat resem- bling the nah. gany, if cut down in the dark of the moon, short tune before the new moon, Is one of the most durable woods Ill the world for building prrposes-ln that state attempt to splitit, and with the utmost difficulty i, will be rlven in the most Jagged unequal manner--cut down another tree oi inc same kind, at full moon, and the tree. It is said, can readily be split into the finest smooth shingles, or into slaves for making casks; bn, in this state If applied to bnIld- ing purposes it speedily decays. Bamboos as thick as mans arm, if cut at the dark moon, will endure ten or twelve years; II at full moon, they will be rotten Tn two or three years; and thus it is with most oi the forest trees. If these statements can De relied upon, they would seem to afford an important practical hint to those engaged in getting out and preparing shipping nifoer from extensive forests in our own country. Have any experiments ever been tired or any facts noticed by ship builders on the subject! Ilisl true, we believe, that the timbers of our public vessels oft tunes rot while vet on the stocks, and before they are completed. May not the circumstance De a,srih,,ied to the particular season and par
 ticular age of the moon when the tmbers
 were felled in the foresss

 A fellow who had on white brooches and a roundabout, together with finir quantity of gab, came into our office the other day to get a job done; and alter having teased us an hour or two in order to get us to throw off two or three shiilings from our re gular price, walked up and took a seat OH our mk table. He finally concluded that he would not get his work done with Us, and getting up found he had received a pretty fair impression without benefit of types, press or paper. He asked how much we charged for that? Our imp replied that that came under the head of s'work done to pantaloons," and he charged 25 cents. The fellow finally agreed to have the job printed at our price, provided we would not charge him any thing for the beautiful lilhographic impression on his posterors.

PICKING ONES TEETH. practice of picking ones teeth in company or at table, is condemned, being considered a "breach of every rule of propriety.n But customs vary in different countries, and in some parts of Europe, particularly among the genteel classes in the city of Lisbon, picking ones teeth Is considered a eefemo- nv necessary 10 be observed at dinner at the end of every course. So much SC, that tooth picks, fabricated of pieces of tough wood, are always furnished by the host. They are faneifully stuck into a nea; little machine, resembling a pepper box, placed in the centre of the table, and which is regularly handed round 10 the company, who supply themselves and pro- ceed to business. It IS somewhat difficult for a yankee 10 accustom himself to his singular habit, and we confess that We were moi a little astonished, perhaps shocked, when at the first dinner we had the honor to eat in Lisbon, young lady, the dhngh- ter of the host, with q most engaging smile, pointed to an image resembling a IIindoo Idol, with it's head brstllng with small splinters of wood, and asking me to have the goodness to hand her tooth pick l. 1 But we heard arigh,-she selected one from the lof, and throwing herself back ifl her chair, and opening her pretty mouth, commenced operations in the most grace 1 ful manner imaginable!
