little what taun,s might be applied to his own per-
son, yet when his nation came to be the object of
such remarks his blood boiled at once, and he de-
termined right or wrong, to show the sneering bull
ly that Yankee prowess was not to be so lightly es-
teemed. Yielding TO his patriotic feelings he immc-
diaiey announced his willingness and they took hold.
The first trial at what is termed arms length,
and Joe soon found that his antagonist no car
pet knight to be handled in the gingerly manner
with which it had been his wont to treat his oppo-
nents of the ring. At the first onset, Joe was
brought to his knee. Immediately sprngng up,
he confessed himself fairly fled and then reques-
ted that they should take trial at back hold To
this the bully assented. We have often heard Joe
say that previous to this time he never could dscov-
er any difference in the strength of men but that
now he felt lie must exert all his power. Selling
hold of his antagonist, he bowed with all his strength
and squeezed the vain boaster to his breast. The
Englislman gave one shrek-his arms loosed their
hold-hs whole frame quivered-and when Joe re-
leased him from his grasp, the bully fell, with eyes
protruding and blood gushing from his nostrils
dead at his feet !-ReesoiHe Herald.

RULES FOR CONVERSATION.
BY THOMAS JEFFERSON.

|. In stating prudential rules for our government
in so ciety, must not omit the important one of
entering into dispute argument with another.
2. never saw an instance of one of two dispu-
tants convincing the other by argument. | have
seen many of their getting warm, becoming rude,
and shooting one another.
3. Convincing is the effect of our own dispas-
sionate reasoning, either in solitude or weighing
within ourselves, dspassonately, what we hear from
others, standing uucommtted in argument ourselves.
4. 1t was of the rules which, above all 9TH
ers, made DIR. Franklin the most amablc of men in
society, never to contradict any body" If he was
urged to announce opinion, he did it rather by
asking questions, for information, by suggest
ing doubts.
5. When l hear another express an opinion
which is not mine, say to myself, He has right
to his opinion, rs to mine why should question
itl His error does no injury, and shall become
Don Quixotte, TO bring all men by force of argu-
ment to an opinion
g. If a fact be mstated, il is probable he is graf
him of the qualification.
Z. If he wants information, he will ask it, and
then will give it in measured terms.
g. If he still believes his own story, and show.
desire to dispute the fact with me, hear him, ant
say nothing. IL is his affair." not mine il hc prefers
error.
o. There are two classes of dsputants most fre
queuily to be met with among us The first is o
young students just entered the threshold Of science
with first views of its outlines, not yet filled up will
the details and modification, which further pro-
gress would bring to their knowledge.
10. The other consists Of the ill-tempercd ano
rude men in society, who have taken up passion
for politics.

In Span the burden of the church establishment
is felt with great severity. There are in this church
eight archbishops-forty four bishops-oue hundred
and thirty-eigth secular priests-fifteen thousand
eight hundred and thirtyfour inferior clergythree
thousand and six monasteries and convents-sev-
enty one thousand five hundred and eighty-fve
monks and nuns The archbishop of Toledo has a
revenue of six hundred thousand dollars and the
incomes of the other ecclesiastical dgnaries, though
smaller in amount, are very large. Vast masses of
property are locked up in the possession of the
church.

THE YANKEE AND THE JEw.-IIe told me a trick
of his the other day. Said he, 81 once took out
adventure of gloves To-, where l thought they
would sell to a charm. Well, got there, but the
devil of glove could get any body to take. At
last came "a sneaky long g-bearded snvelllng Jew and
offeredirne sum below cost, and rather than carry
the gloves back again, let him have 'em-but !
thought it plaguy strange that nobody else would
buy.-Beforc left, though, smelt the rat That
Aminabad had gone round to all the marchants, ar
ranged it with them to let him buy at discount,
and share the goods. Not as you knows on boys
thinks to myseH-here the captain put his finger
on his nose and winked-s you don't fleece me,
Jew or no Jew The next month ! went back ia
the same place, on the same errand--nobody would
buy the gloves, as hoped-except that son of a
gun of an Alninadab, and he took em before,
below cost, aud was off, You're trapped my old
rat, says to myself. 1t was mt half an hour be-
fore down he came to the ship. 'You-you-you'
cheated me- says he, Il haynt, says l. You
have,' says he, those gloves are all of one hand
know it, says l., and could have told you SO
afore you took em if you'd thought to ask
| You must take 'em back cried he. 'Fll he -
fI do answered l. 1t III ruin me, snivelled he
So much the better said |. 6 L know you-you
william, and you've brought your goods to a bad
market, if YOU think to weasel me--now give me
- U named a round sum tell ye,] and III let
you have the mates'-He had TO do it-so / out with
the mates and got the money from the snivelling

with her tail cut off,"

A Good Hand.-In the endless variety of .

world, there seems to be some difference of opin-
ion, Of taste rs to what constitutes good u.
When fair lady sends fair note and requests the
pleasure of your company to tea on given even
ing, that is doubtless fair O.. When man
writes you that unless you pay that note he holds
against you in "a hours, he will send you to Jail,
that may be called plain O.. When "a gentle
man sends you an exceeding polite note, only de-
mandng the satisfaction of blowing ont your brains,
that is denominared an honorable GO. When a
lady writes betdoux with quill plucked from
the wing of Cupid, and with such fine and delicate
strokes as to be invisible except the eyes of love,
that is without doubt lorely o.. The Lords
Prayer written in the compass OF IA hall dime, IS
very fine O.. A o., which is frequently placed
at the bottom of note " for value received" how
ever coarse and vile it may appear, is very prom
ising o.. A 0L}~ which after writing long, lean,
soporc article, requests an editor to iayorthe pub
lie with the sublime squeeZings of an empty noddle
is to say the least very impHdentuF. The gen.
tleman, again, who writes to this same humble SER
want of the public matters of any kind relating to
a newspaper, and make n point of forgetting the
postage, by the unanimous opinion of the whole
corps editorial, writes most rascaHy C..
Then besides these, there is the close O., and
the sprawlng o., the round G5- and the sharp
O., the easy O. and the cramped 70, the heavy
