A noble Fedt.--As the passengers were
leaving the Jonas c. Heart at Troy, says
the Albany Argus, an elderly lady slipped
from the gang plank into Inc river, under
the guard Of the boat. The tide was run

drowned but for tie heroic interposition Of
Mr.. Francis Mitchell, a hand on board the

this is not the first time that Mitchell has
thus saved the life of another at the risk
of his own.

A Good Joke.-I have heard first rate
Joke about Jchn Turman, late Of Athens,
Geo. He was stopping at tavern up
country, and used to lounge about the
bar, and come it over other peoples liquor.
Not a3ghss could be left for moment
but he would slyly slip up and drink its
contents. One day stage driver came
in. and called for q stiff horn Of brandy tod
dy. John Immediately shuffied up to the
bar. The driver knew his man, and i'm
mediately played possum by leaving his
brandy while he STEPPED to thedoor. The
bait took; on returning, he saw the glass
empty, and exclaimed, with all the diaboli-
cal horror he could effect:
"Brandy and opium enough to kill forty
men! who drank that pizen?"
IL" stammered John, ready to yield up
he ghost with alright. ~,
you're dead man." said the driver.
',What shall l do?" beseeched John'
who thought himself a "gone sucker.
"Down with pint Of lamp oil, or you
are dead man in three minutes" answer
ed the wicked driver. And downwent tho
lamp oil, up come the brandy and opium,
topether with Johns breakfast. The Joke
was told, and he has never drank other
peoples liquor since.

W.. Editor: I send for insertion, my first musin
others may follow:
Stop, stop, Father Time,
And tell me, Ipray,
Say where art thou bounding,
And whittier away?
Time held up his scythe,
And tapping his wing,
You'd have thought him youngstcr.
So buoyant his spring.
Though methought ss he passed,
He was of heard to say,
My motto is onward,
My bycword away;
Then, say gentle lady,
Why wish my delay7
roam through the forest
Through cottage and hall,
City and empire
Before me shall fall;
My finger you'll see,
On the fair maiden's check,
And the bright eyes of manhood
My powers bespeak.
! oft snatch tho babe
From the fond mothers breast,
And its cares and its MORNINGS
Arc husied into rest;
BY my hand, the poor man
Is deprived of his wife.
And all that seems dear
In this valley of strife.
Nay, fown not; though Time
Oftcruel appears,
Without me you'd havo
But valley of tears;
For heal up the wounds
Of Lovers despair,
When his fond hopes, long cherished
Dissolve into air.
And the Lover whose falsenesa
Has palcd seme young cheek,
Old Timc can the rocreant
Bring buck 70 her feet;
Numerous foiblcs. Times flight
Can cause man to forget,
That else would be lingering
And wrangling till yet.
E'cn the Husband who deemed
That his heart was near broke,
With speed that 10 wondrous,
Time heals up the stroke;
So you see t'would be folly
And madness to stay,
Or accde to your wishes,
And linger day.
Yet, lady, beware
How your time may DO spent,
Say not in old age,
You will haste to repent;
But now, while thy youth
Is in primchood and bloom,
Prepare, for old limo
May Gull you for the tomb. ELLA

Previously to this, Margaret had seen

had prompted the disclosure. The mid

their late relatives affection. They even
pressed her to come and reside with them,
