MEMORY.

Among the many remarkable quail
ties of David Crockett, was his wonder
full memory, of which Col. Alexander,
whom hcran against forcongress, lately
gave the following anecdote in proof:
"When we began our clectioneer-
ing campaign" said Col. A. ''not be-
ing able to speak very we'll ertempore,
or rather notata all, / wrote out speech
with great care, and committed it to
memory. l delivered this at three
different meetings, and was a good deal
gratified in believing it was very well
received. l had always spoken first
but at the fourth meeting, which was a
numerous one, Crockett proposed that
he should take the lead. He accord
ingly mounted thegsstand, and to my
utter amazemcnt, Tecited every word
Of my speech, and only changing, very
slightly, senteare OF two to suit his
own case. I.neverfelt more awkward
in my life. My turn to speak came,
and my speech was gone-stolen--
used up-and was leltrwithout word
to say. And to complete my morti6-
cation, the rascal was chuckling and
laughing as if he bad done the very
cleveTst thing in the world"

REMARKABLE THOUGHTS.

s'What do you teach the girl?' ask
ed Maltravers Of the schoolmaster.--
"That God made her, and that he loves
good girls, and will watch over them"
"What else?" .s1'hat the devil runs a.
way with bad girls, and 49," "Stop
there: never mind the devil yet awhile.
Let her first learn to do good, that God
may love her; the rest will follow. l
would rather make people religious
through their best feelings than their
worst. We can do without the devil,
at present"
There is nearly always something Of
Natures own gentiIity in very young
women, Except. indeed, when they
get together, and fall a giggling. -
A vulgar boy requires, heaven knows
what assiduiiy, to move three steps, l
do not say like gentleman, but like
body that has soul in it but give the
least advantage Of society or tuition to
a peasant girl, and hundred to one
but she will glide into refinement be-
fore the boy can make bow without

in which he lives, will be regarded in
that society as man of abilities.
think it is Goethe who says some
where, that in reading the life of the
greatest genius, we always find that he
was acquainted with some ono who
was superior to himself, who yet new
yer attained general distinction.
It seldom happens that we are very
strongly influenced by those much old
er than ourselves 1t is the senior Of
from two to ten years, that most sedu-
ces and enthrals us. There is very
little influence. where there is not great
sympathy, or similarity of tastes and
pursuits.
Few persons obtain pre-emincnt &C.
librity for any thing, without some adj
ventitious and extraneous circumstan-
ces which have nothing to do with the
thing celebrated.
Some people seem born with the
temperament and tastes of genius, with
itsscreative power. They have its ner-
vous system, but something is wanting
in the intellectual.
Beauty has little to do with enga-
ging the love of women. The air, the
manner, the tone, the conversation, the
something that interests, and some
thing to be, proud of--these are the at
tributes Of the man made to be loved.
People, to live happily with each o.
ther, must fit IN, as itwcre; the proud
to be mated with the meek, the irrita-
BILE with the gentle, and so forth. We
talk Of "cOngenial minds;" but marri-
ed persons must not too closely resem-
Bile each other.

A young woman, who once loves ;
man, not indeed old but much Older
than herself, loves him with Stocking

ment is, perhaps, more deep and pure
for The difference Of their ages.

BRUTE FORCE AND MORAL POWER.

When Tamerlane had finished bull
ding his pyramid Of seventy thousand
human skulls, and was seen "standing
at the gate of Damascus, glittcring in
steel with his battle-axe on. his shout
der" ill his fierce hosts filled out to
new victories and new carnage, the
pale onlooker might have fancied chat
Nature was in her death throes; for,
havoc and despair had taken possession
Of the cath, the sun Of manhood SEEM
ed setting in blood. Yet it might be
on that very gale day Of Tamcrlane,a a
little boy was palying nine pins on the
streets OF Mcntz, whose history was
more important to men than OF lwen-
tv Tamcrlanes. The Tarter Khan,
with his shaggy demons Of the wilder
ness. passed away like whirlwind, to
be forgotten for ever; and the German
artisan has wrought benefit which is
vet immeasurably expanding itself. and
will continue to expand itself through
all countries and through all times
What are the conquests and expedi-
! ton of all captains rom Walter the
lpennyiess to Napoleon BoDapart, com
pared with these 'moyeablc types of
Johannes Faust? Truly, il i a rnorti-
fying thing for your conqueror to re-
feet. how pcrishablc is the metal which
he hammers with such violence; how
the kind earth Will soon shroud up his
bloody foot prints; and all that he ach-
ievod, and skilfuIly piled together will
be but like his own "canvas city" Of
camp, this evening loud with life, to
morrow all struck and vanished, "a few
earth pits and heaps Of straw" For
here, as always, it continues true, that
the deepest force is the stillest; that,
as in the fable, the mild shining of the
sun shall silently accomplish what the
fierce clustering OF the tempest has In
vain essayed. .Aboveall, it is ever to
be kept in mind, that not by material,
but by moral power arc men and their
actions governed. How noiseless Is
thought! No rolling Of drums, no tramp
Of squadrons, or immeasurable tumnlt
of baggage Wagons attends its move
ments. In what obscure and seques-
tered places may the head be medita-
ting which is one day 10 be crowned
with more than imperial authority
The time may come when Napoleon
himself will be better known for his
laws than for his battles, and the victo-
ry of Waterloo provo less momentious
than the opening of the first Mechan-
ics' Institute.

every indication Of the possession Of
this important instrument OF life. They
attain manhood, therefore, without
knowing its uses. and II with talent and
energy, they sometimes fail in being
successful, they cast the blame upon the
ungratefnl world, when in truth il
should all rest with themselves.-Hav-
ing no musual' sympathy with mankind,
they can build no firm foundation for
their hopes, and may struggle perpet-
ually whilst eachreccding wave OF time
washes the structure from its slender
base.
Education, although the world is
nearly GOOO years Of age, and should
have come to an age Of discretion. is
far, very far from being perfect. There
is much yet to learn, and one Of the
most gratifying periods Of its history
viii be when much of the cold, mean
ingloss nonsense Of the schools is abol-
ished. and all that is susceptible and
worthy Of cultivation in mankind will
receive a greater portion Of attention
than it now does.
But we may tire our readers, and will
there fore cease.

YANKEE sHREwpNEss.

Coming it oper the fifteen Gallon Ldu.
We understand that previous to the
Division Muster at Delham, yesterday,
shrewd one hit upon the following
novel expcdient to evade the license
law. He made application to The Sc
lectmen for license to exhibit striped
pig during the parade day, which was
granted. He accordingly procured
pig, and with brush painted some
stripes on his back, and yesterday NOR
ming he had tent erected on the field,
with due notice on the exterior, that a
striped pig was to be seen withini price
of admission, sir and a quarter cents.--
The rate being SO low, numerous visi-
tors were induced to call upon his
swinish majesty, and, every one on
coming out appeared highly gratiled
with the kind and curteous reception
he met with from the keeper OF the re-
markable pig, for each conner was trea-
ted to glass of brandy and water or
gin, OIL whatever liquor he might prefer.
scithom any extra charge. Some were
so well pleased tnat they were induced
to take second look at the animal,
and were as kindly and hberallytrea-
ted as at their first visit. At the last
accounts the exhibitor was driving a
brisk business, and was likely to make
a profitable days job in trhibising his
