Original Anecdote--A few days since'
a jolly tar who had just returned from long
cruise, employed cartmsn, knowa about
the town as Dutch Yacub, to carry his bag
gage from on board the ship to boarding
house. After every thing was slowed on
the cart to his satisfaction, Jack seated him
self on the top of his chest and for the want
of better amusements, spliced the end Of
the cart rope together. When arrived at the
stopping place, Yacub, attempted to cast
of his rope, preparatory to unloading. Az
ter searching in vain for the end of it, he
threw his hat on the ground in a rage, ex-
claiming, " Dunder and blixen, some tam
Yankees cut off bote de ends of mine ropes
and poot dem were tAe tyvel coud'nt Wind

The writer was surveying London from
the cupola of st. Paul's. II was gloomy
day, the fog rolled up its heavy curtains in
almited radius, so that the thousand spires
of the metropolis were shut from the cir
cumference embraced by the eye. AS he
looked around, he was aware of another
spectator, standing by his side, who accos-
ted him--'Well, guess this ere is pretty
great place from what see!' Our tourist
took him at once for fellow countryman.

HINTS TO PARENTS.

The proper regulation of the Imagination
is duty of unquestonable obligation. Wo-
men, especially, are prone TO act upon mere
feeling, and it is kind of benefcent provi-
sion of Providence that their feelings are so
often as correcl as they are acute, land there
fore, in some sort, stand them in the stead
Of the judgement and principle Of men,
But then it is plainly radical and danger
GUS error to educate them rather to feel than
to reason. BY their very constitution, they
naturally possess feelings more quick and
susceptible, with judgement less strong and
disciplined, than men. Hence their conduct
generally will be guided rather by feeling
than by reason. Their education should,
therefore, we conceiye,b be shaped to strength
en- tha; which is weak in them, and to regu-
late that which is too apt to be sensitive 10
excess. This is one great reason why We
nv much novel-reading of any kind and all
bad and trashy novels, should be carefully
iuterdicted. They are far more pernicious
to women than to men. Almost every man
has, of necessity, so much collision with
the realities of life, going forth to his work
and labor till the evening, in this draggletail
drcary dun of work-day world, that the
interference and disturbance Of real business
and worldly interests must serve to rouse
him perlorce from idle dreams, and olsen
chant him from any spell of romance in
which he may have Silly entangled his i'm
agination. But with girl it is not so.-
Living at home, with no property to man"
age, no interest TO cultivate, no family to
provide for, no contention at the bar, no de-
signs to forward at court, in the camp, or in
the county--no bargains to mango there

Eastern .anecdote.--As a woman was
walking man looked at her and followed
her. The woman said why do you fellow
me 2 he answered, becauseI have fallen
in love With YOU The woman said, Why
are you in love with me (! My sister is
much handsomer; she is coming after me,
90 and make love with her. The man tuIn-
ed back and saw woman with an ugly
face: being greatly displeased he turned to
the first woman and said, Why do you
tell me a falsehood? The woman answer
ed, Neither do you speak the truth, for if
you were really in love with me, why do
you leave me to look upon my sister!'

"where merchants most do congregate;"
nothing, in short, which she cannot, in some
measure, transform and accommodate to her
own ideal world, she may very easily, if
she yield to her imaginative impulses, live
as it were, in an dream, stranger to her
real duties, and wasting all her energies and
sympathes on unattainable combination OF
circumstances, or undesirable combinations
Of qualities. Thus she may regard her
first suitor IA short, fat, good-natured, red
faced man, of no particular age, and an ex-
cellent estate in the country as repulsive
and detestable wretch, 10 whom she is TO be
sacrificed for money; or she may array the
tall, lathy curate of the neighboring parish,
or the sighing subaltern Of marching regi.
ment, whom she meets at a county ball, in
all the glories of one of her favorite knights
Of romance. In any case she stores up
much unhappines for herself. For, at the
best, and supposing no actual imprudence
to result, she must, at length, wake up, as
a married moman, to butchers bills and
brewing, to suckle babes and chronicle small
beer, to plaguy servants, smoky chimneys,
squaling children, and, above all, to mag
ined neglect or want oftenderness and lover
like attention on the part Of her good man.
Cause and effect then carry on their usual
action and reaction. But the natural death
of love is an ungrateful and ungracious
theme, on which we disire not to dwell.-
1t frets and worries land Injuries US too) to
depict all that seems best and most amiable
in our nature, as only hollow, and fugitive,
and illusory. But it is quite another thing
to guard against misapprehensions and mis-
take-to teach the faneiful and, perhaps, the
wayward girl that she must open her eyes
upon the ups and downs, the clouds ant
sunshine of married life, which, for our last
ing good, are so diversified, and from which
solid happiness may be extracted by wei
regulated spirit, with really reasonable ex
Pectations; but which yet is SO unlike th'
cloudless paradise of dreamy girls imag
ination that the houri who has dwelt in tina
intoxicating atmosphere is creature help
lessly unfit TO live and breathe in the terres
trial air of connubial reality.

Last Case Of absence Of Mind.-A
young lady in B street,came home from

mistake till the ostler began to rub her down.

A Lgnch Ca8e-In Warren county, Ohio
short time since, two very respectable Ia
dies were met by two black fellows, who
insulted them with gross and unmentionable
proposals. The ladies had sufficient pre-
sence of mind to plead of, by promising to
meet them there at sundown. Arriving at
home, they told the affair to brother of
one of them, who raised party Of twenty
men, and two boys dressed in femele apPa-
rel, who proceeded to the appointed spot,
followed by the men. Upon seeing the
disguised boys the negroes issuing from the
woods caught them and were leading them
off, when they were seized by the men,
who tied them to tree and castrated them,

fluence Of stimulants, as wine or opium; but
other mental states-depression Of spirits,
irritabiity of temper, ,indolence, and the cra-
wing for sensual qualifications, are, it is
probable, no less intimately connected with
the condition of the body. The selfish, ex-
acting habits which so often attend i'll health
and the mean articles to which feebleness
of body leads, are not, indeed, necessary
results; but the physical weakness so often
produces moral evil, that no moral treat
ment can be successful which overlooks
physical causes. Without reference TO its
moral effects, bodily pain forms large pro-
portion of the amount Of human misery.
It is therefore of the highest importance
that child should grow up sound and
healthful in body, and with the utmost de-
gree of muscular strength that education can
communicate.
.Rdvantages Of Strength.--It should be
an important object in education 10 give a
child considerable degree Of bodily
strength. 1t is not merely of high utiitty
in the laborious occupations in which most
persons must spend their lives; 1t is often
great support to moral dispositions. We
should excite good impulses in children,
and also give them the utmost strength of
mind and beauty to carry them out. A
child ought 10 be able to Withstand injus-
lice attempted by superior strength. No
thing demolalizes both parties more than
the tyranny exercised over younger chill
dren by elder ones at school, Many good
| impulses are crushed in child's heart when
he has not physical courage to support them.
If we make child as strong as his age and
constitution will permit, he will have cou-
rage to face greater strength. A boy Of
this kind resisting firmly the first assump-
ton of an elder tyrant, may receive some
hard treatment in one encounter, but he will
have achieved his deliverance. His cour.
age will secure respect. The tyrant will
not again excite the same troublesome and
dangerous resistance. This is certainly
not intented to encourage battles at school,
far from it. But until high degree o.
moral education is realized, the best security
for general peace amcag children of differ
ent ages is to give each strength and spiri
which no one will like TO provoke. 1t will
further give each confidence in his pow
ers, and seif-rcspect, without which more
of the hardy virtues can flourish.

PITY AND CHARITY

The very pirate, that dyes the ocean
with the blood of his fellow beings; that
meets with his defenceless victim in some
lonely sea where 10 cry of help can be
heard, and plunges his dagger to the heart
that is pleading for life-which is calling
upon him by all the names of kindred, of
children, and home, to spare-yes, the very
pirate is such man as you or I might have
been. Orphanage in childhood; an unfriend-
ly youth; an evil companion; a resort to
sinful pleasure: familiarity with vice; a
scorned and blighted name; scared and
crushed affections; desperate fortunes
these are steps which might have led any
one among us TO unfurl upon the high seas
the bloody flag of universal defiance: TO
have waged war with our kind; to have put
on the terrific attributes; to have done the
deed; and to have died the awful death of
the ocean robber. How many affection re-
lationships of humanity plead with us to pi-

the price Of blood, once rested upon moth

sed work, and shall soon be stretched cold
and neverless in the felon's grave, was once
taken and cherished by fathers hand, and

The dreaded monster of crime has once
been the object of ssterly love and all do
nestle endearment. Pity has blighted hope
and his crushed heart. 1t wholesome
