MISCELLANY.
A SECnE'r WORTHY KNowIno.

"1ruM is strange-strange than felton,"
Under this heading the Long Island Star
publishes an interesting tale, for the extend
ed details OF which we cannot find room, but
must content ourselves with giving the lead
ing facts in condensed form, for the benefit
of our readers.
young grocer Of good character and cor
rect habits commenced business in a rood
and improved neighborhood. His stock was
small, as were his means, and his stock of
customers was still smaller. His sales
hardly met his expenses, and he was evident
ly going ''down HILL" and an old grocer on
the opposite corner predicted that he would
soon be at the bottom.
That the young grocer had reason to re.
greet this opinion of the old grocer will an
pear. The latter had daughter who had
won the heart of the former. He offered
himself to her and was rejected. 1t was
done, however, with the assurance that he was
the man OF her choice, but that she acted in
obedience to her fathers commands.
Assured of the affections of the woman of
his choice, he set himself about removing the
only obstacle in the way of their union--the
fathers objection to his pecuniary pros
poets. y

iheyoung grocer was now going up hill with

on the opposite corner, for the younger favor

puzzled the cid grocer soreiy, but which he
could not unravel. He at length became
nearly sick with losses and aggravations, and
vain attempts to discover the secret of his
neighbours success.
AT this Juncture, Angelica-for that was
the daughters name-contrived to bring a.
bout an apparently accidental interview be-
tween the parties. After the old man had
become, through the Intervention of the
daughter, tolerably good humored, he inquir-
ed with great earnestncss of the young man,
how he had contrved to effect so much in
single year, to thus extend his business and
draw off the customers from old stands.
The young man evaded an answer-but in

provided you reveal the secret of your sue

his happiness was made complete. The old
man commended his prudence OIL this point.
The affair was all settled and the marriage
soon took place.
The friends of the young couple were all
assembled, and among them, many of the
customers of the two stores. Angelica and
Thomas looked as happy as well could be,
and the old gentleman was, if possible, hap
pier than they. The bridal cake was about

a FORCIBLE EXPRESSION.

The good people of Mississippi and some
of the States in this section, use queer OK.
pressions to manifest their like or dislike Of
persons; but there is a great deal of force in
them, notwithstanding. For instance =

py." ''ls he clever 2" "Clevcr1 He can
have half my bread and butter, any time -
Unjust be understood that the word CLEVER
is given in the American and not in the Eng
lish acceptation. The simple statement,~
'.He can have half my bread and butter any
tlme," contains more real praise than any
half column of refined drawing room adula-
ton we have ever read. 1t is a hearty letter
of recommendation without drawbac in
the shape of an elf" or sand" and lets the
person who has so strong claim to all that
is honest and honorable, at once into your
good graccs. This or that person may be
called deserving, or popular, or good neigh.
Dor, or fine fellow or all that sort of thing,
but when you can get man to endorse his
character so far as to be willing to share his
bread and butter with him, he can be trusted
with any business, with any secret, with any
money, or for any amount. He is emphati-
cally the right sort of a man.

EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN.

The following elegant extract ought to be
read by every parent, and particularly every
farmer
elf the time shall ever come when this
mighty republic shall totter: when the bea-
con which now rises in pillar of fire, sign
and wonder Of the world, shall wax
dim, the cause will be found in the ignorance
of the people. If our Union is still to con-
tinue to cheer the hopes and animate the eff
forts Of the oppressed of every nation; if our
fields are to be untrod by the hirelines of
dcspotism; if long days of blessedness are to
attend our country in her career Of glory if
you would have the sun continue to shed its
unclouded rays upon the face of freemen, then
educate oil the children in The land. This a
lone startles the tyrant in his dreams of pow
er, and rouses the slumbering energies of an
oppressed people. 1t was intelligence that
reared up the majestic columns Of our national
glory and this alone can prevent them from
crumbling into ashes. WEBSTER.

EDuoRiAL.--The editors Of New York and
Boston make their editorials of late as |ono
as Dutch courtship in which it is said one
of the parties always sleeps, while the other
talks. Long editorials and long sermons paw
poor compliment to the intelligence Of the
nearer, the reader, and the writer too. The
dwellings of long article are worse than
the droppings Of the ewes on mans bear
neck III aIanuary thaw. Monks may conn,
their beads ruminate and read long editorials,
but business men have time for neither. They
want the pea, and not the pod.
