SELECTIONS from JEAN PAUL. Mems feelings
are purest and most glowing in the hour Of meet
ing and Of farewell; f; like the glaciers which arc
transparent and rosy-hued only at sunrise and sun
set, but throughout the day grey aud cold
Every heavy burden of sorrow seems like a stone
hung round our neck, yet they often like tho
stones used by pearl divers, which enable them to
reach their prize and to rise enriched
The sorrows of noble mind are spring frosts,
which precede the summer those Of corrupted and
and contracted one are autumn frosts, which are
only followed by winter.
A small sorrow distracts-a great one makes US
collected; as bell loses its clear tone when slight
ly cracked, one it when the fissure is en-
larged.
Joy hutters past us like gay and harmless but
terfy; but unfortunately, often lays eggs which en-.
gender devouring caterpillars.
The greatest sufferings to be found in tho
higher classes-meR bleed involuntarily on ascend
ing mountains
An angel incapable of feeling anger must envy
the man who can feel and yet conquer it.

An Indian who had been born and brought up
at Minisink, near the Delaware Water Gap, told me-
near fifty years ago, that he had once when under
the influence of strong liquor, killed the best Indian
friend he had, fancying him to be his worst avowed
enemy.
lie said that the deception was complete, and
that while intoxicated the face of his friend prescut-
ed to his eyes al the features of the man with whom
he in a state of hostility.
SIT is impossible to exl 'ess the horror with which
ho struck, when he Ike from that deusion !;
he shocked, that he received never more to
taste ofthe maddenng poison, of which he was con-
vinced the devil the inventor for it could only
be the evil spirit who made him see his cnemy when
his friend was before him. and produced SO strong
deusion on his bewildered senses.
From that time until his death, which happened
thirty years afterwards he drank drop of ar
dent spirit which he always called I" the Devils
Blood" and was firmly persuaded TINT the devil or
some of the internal spirits, had hand in preparing

INDIAN lNrEGRuTY.-A Spanish traveller met nd
Indian in the desert; they were both on horsebacl
The Spaniard, fearing his horse, which was nons
of the best, would not hold out to the end Of hiI
journey, asked the Indian, whose horse was young
strong and spirited, to exchange with him. ThI
the Indian refused. The Spaniard therefore begad
to quarrel with him. From words they proceeded
TO blows. The aggressor being well armed proved
too powerful for the native. He seized his horse
mounted him, and pursued his journey.
The Indian closely followed him to the nearest
town, and Immediately went and complained to the
nearest Judge. The Spanard was obliged to ap-
pear and bring the horse with him. He treated the
Indian mposer, affirming that the horse was
his property, that he had raised him from colt.
There being no proof to the contrary, the Judge
was about dismssing the parties when the Indian
cried out " The horse is mine and iii prove it ~
He Immediately took off his mantle, and with it in
stantly covered the head of the animal then ad-
dressing the judge.
" Since this man" said he, " affirms that he rails ed
this horse from COLT command him To tell of which
of his two eyes he is blind" The Spanlard, who
would not to hesitate, Instantly answered,
:" of the right eye" He is neither blind of the right
eye nor the left," replied the Indian.
The judge convinced by proof so ingenious and
decisive, decreed him the horse, and the Spaniard
to be punished as robber.

LAW GBBERIsH.-The verbose technicaton of
legal phraseology well hit off in the following:
If man would, according to law, give to anoth-
er orange" instead of saying, 81 give you that
orange" which one would think would be what
is called, in legal phraseoogy, {" an absolute con-
veyancc of all right and title therein" the phrase
would run thus" give.you all and singular my
estate and interest, right and title, claim and advan-
tage of and in that orange, with all its rind skn
juice, pips and all right and advantage therein with
full power to bite cut, suck, and otherwise eat the
same, give the same away, and fully and effect
ually as the said A b now entitled to bite cut
SUCK otherwise eat the same orange, or give tho
same away, with without its rind, juice, pulp,
and pips anything heretofore or hereinafter or in
any other deed or deeds, instrument instruments
of what narure kind soever, to the contrary in
any wise, Notwithstanding - with which more to
the same effect. Such is the language of lawyers
and it is very gravely held by the most learned men
among them, that by the omission of any Of those
words the right of the said orange would not pass
to the perso for whose the same was ntende

DOMESTIC FELICITY.

Thrice happy he, who, tied for life
To one who loves him very dearly,
Receives, from his industrious wife,
A little living offering yearly,
What tho the brats assail his logs
With noise and din like Tower Of Babel
H,w sweet to see their full moon mugs,
Like olive branches, round his table.
To SEQ with feelings Of delight.
The newborn infant on bis lap;
To hear it sqnall, from morn to night,
And cram its chubby jowls with pap
Delightful task! the young recruits,
With anxious care, to teach their letters,
And gravely show the older shoots
How to behave before their bstters.
II in the cup Of welded bliss
SO many sweet ingredients mingle,
Each mus,y bachelor well hiss,
And pclt the rogue for living single.

And sure am I've done my duty;
Lawk! he's the image Of his dad.
Now isn't he perfect beautyi
And han't he got his mothers eyel
And don't the rogue begin to squeak well
Now, for a newborn baby.

lIINDoo REVENGE. Not content with starving
themselves to death, in order revenge themselves
upon their adversaries in another world, they arc
sometimes known to murder member of their own
family, in the hope that the blood of the victim will
rest upon the heads of their adversaries. A memoir
able illustration Of this notion occurred at Ghaze-
poore, where old man, who conceived that hc
had right to a piece of land which had been ad-
Judged to his neighbor, brought his wife to the spot,
an elderly parsonage, who could be easily spared,
and forcing her, with the assistance of his friends
and relations, into hat made Of straw se, # on FIRE
and burned her to DEATH in the expectation that the
soil would be accursed and refuse to yield its fruits
to the enemy who had triumphcd over him.
