weather and the breaking upof the roads,
our markets are very muddy, and dustis
scarce in the Hardware Trade, they
say they never found times as hard as
now: that Tin Plates are flat, Lead
heavy, Iron dull, spades not trumps, hose
heigh-hos, and more Rakes in the mar
ket than enquired after; Brass is how
ever in demand for politicians Brads
are also in request, but holders cannot be
got to fork them out. Nails wont go by

Starch is stiffening, and Paper is sta

SCRAPS FROM THE GERMAN OF JEAN PAUL

SCRAPS FROM THE GERMAN OF JEAN PAUL.
Nothing awakens serious thoughts so
certainly in noble mind, as the mo-
ments Of its highest enjoyment. Joy and
Grief are man and wife, and when we
see the one we are reminded Of the 9TH
er.
Men are often unconscious, not only
of their true feelings, but of their opin-
ions. IS
The light of the soul within us, has been
compared 10 an ignis tatuus and the
comparison holds good in more respects
than one. These wayward fires are the
type, not only ofits eccentricities, but Of
its iis'immortality-for, like them, it burns
through the blast and the storm.
Happiness, like day, consists not in par
tiaI flashes, but in steady light; and
whether this be bright sunshine, twilight,
or soft moonshine, it matters not, SO long
as tits uniform.
Open your heart to sympathy, but close
it to despondency. The flower which
esens TO receive. the dew, shuts against
rain.
Enjoyment is more durable than pain.
The one is the immortal armament, the
other the transient clouds which darken
it for time.
A morose deity is a contradiction in
terms, and heaven is ages older than hell.
The shortest day ofour year comes in
the winter-fit emblem of our life, at
once dark, cold and short.
1t is folly to call the joys ofour child
hood the greatest. They are like the
earliest flower Of spring, the crocus, love.

AN EprTApH.-A certain dame, some-

with one Oliver Arnold, an impromptu
poet, that resided in Norwich, Conn.,,
some fifty years ago, requested him to
give her an epitaph, for her heirs to put
upon her tombstone, after her decease.
Oliver, first taking care to get out of the
reach of her broomstick, reeled off the
following lines -

Therrarest scold that e'er did die.
