NoyEl. CouRrsHlP.-A Lady and her two
lovers appeared before a magistrate OF the "cl-
ty of Brotherly Love" to answer to the com.
plaint of one Of the gentlemen, who conceived
himself hardly treated by Miss Sally. 1t aP,-
pears the plaintiff, a lively Irish lad, a CAP
driver, had become acquainted with the iaoy
some time last summer, and had not only dtiv.
en- her about in his cab, but had ''given her all
sorts CT melancholy" among which was d
breastpin representing the battle OF New VI
leans: and he had even stolen bran for her 10
make a hustle, Although she was accustomed
to meet him in the street, Miss Sally had mol
veutured 10 take him home on account, as she
asserted, of her ''cross daddy" until one night
last week when she invited him to her cham
Der on the second story. There the poor TEL
low was scarcely seated and conversation
commenced, when a knock was heard at the
door, which almost frightened him out OF his
wits, supposing it was her father.-Our nero
looked round for some place of concea'men'
from the old mans wrath. AS the knocking
continued to be repeated, no time was to be
lost. Miss Sally accordingly drew a clothes
basket from under the bed, to which she attach
ed a piece of clothes line. and making h'm get
in, she hoisted him out of the window. but the
rope being rather short. he hung, suspended
between heaven and earth, until relieved by
the watchmen. While in the act of being let
down, he observed his dulcinea's head protrn-
ding from the window, in company with that
of q Dutchman, whom she was caressing, and
chuckling nightly at the predicament Of the
Irishman, who. by the way Of revenge for this
deceit and outrage, had the parties brought
before a magistrate, who bound them over to
keep the peace.

TINE VILLAGE PATRIOT.
The trumpet sounded loud and shriH,
From the battle field it came,
And the peasant left his native hill
To gain . patriots name.
He turned to gaze, while . manly tear
Unbidden forced its way,
On the vale below, where his children dear
In peaceful slumber lay.
.Fareweu,' be cried, mo foreign band
Shall freemen e'er enchain;
20 to guard my native land,
And wipe away the STAIN
Then the soldier knelt, and his noble nea"
With a fathers feeling beat;
But at that sound, with a sudden start
He sprang upon his feet.
In his firm right hand his trusty sword
He Yields with a veterans glow;
He thought once more on those adored-
Then rushed upon the foe.
In the foremost ranks he onward pressed
Where Fate's dire shafts were drlven'
Rnt calm and serene was the patriots breast,
For his hopes were placed in Heaven.
Forward he cried, where the cannons roar
And the flashing sabres wave;
In our country's cause we'll charge once more
For victory. or q grave!
The hero iell-and his mangled form
Was found midst the heaps OF SLAIN;
They bore him far from the fatal storm
To his native vale again.
Where yonder humble spire appears,
Begemmed in the suns last rays,
With the dead of those of other years,
The village patriot lays.
No scutcheon vain, or warriors plume,
Nor proud emblazoned crest,
No splendid marble marks the tomb
Where his honorel relics rest.
Some simple flowers, as a friendly trace,
Der his last sad home still wave,
And these are all that tell the place
Where sleeps the patriot brave. Sr. b.

DISADVANTAGES OF IG~NoRANcE.-A case has
just occurred ia Baltimore, Of an innocent man
being convicted of crime in consequence of his
own ignorance and want of knoledge of the
languages and usages of this country. His
name is J. w. Miller, a German by birth, and
ne was convicted Of larceny and sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years. Immediately
after his conviction was made known though
the papers, a person from the country came in
to town and proved conclusively that the man
was absen, from town on the day of the al
lodged larceny. Upon this representation, the
counsel assigned to him drew up a petition for
pardon, which was signed by the judges Of
the court, and was Immediately granted by the
Governor, he having arrived on Saturday,
The unfortunate man was therefore restored to
his family and friends after one weeks con-
hnement in the penitentiary. The man sup
posed that his own oath would be sufficient TO
free himself from the charge. Had he been
made acquainted with his situatnation, or provi-
ded with counsel, at the arraignment, he might
have prouduced ample evidence in his defence,
at the time Of trial. Rogues, from their init
mate acquaintance with the law. are often able
to escape deserved punishment, but is much
worse when the innocent are convicted of
crime for want Of proper knowledge bits forms
and requirements.--Uniied States.

LAzlNEss.-There is no thing under the
sun more TO be deprecated than laziness.-
Thanks to heaven and to our ancestors, that we
were not born lazy. Laziness is the parent of
all the sins that have been committed since the
morning Of the creation. Eve was in a lazy
fit at the time Satan tempted her: if Adam
had kept her busy, no doubt she would have
kept cut of mischief, and we should all be as
innocent as they were when they entered the
garden of Eden. If the antediluvians had COM
menced building arks when Noah preached
to them, perhaps they might have been saved /;
bot they were too lazy to work, and so they
were drowned in the aqueous catastropte.-
The reason the Egyptian refused to let the
1sraelites 60. was because they were too lazy
to make their own bricks, and wished to COM
pei the Hebrews to do that work for them.-
The consequences are well known {; they were
plagued grievously and many of them after
wards drowned in the Red Sea.
Lazy people in our own days are constant.
~ plagued themselves and are an everlasting
plague and eyesore to others. There is moth
ing more disagreeable to the thrifty and indus
trious than the sight of lazy, creeping, ~listless
men and women. Such a class Of people can
never have any friends they are even abhor-
red. They hate work themselves, and will
lounge about, spend their time in uselessness
and improbable conversation, interest them
selves in other peoples business and neglect
their own making themselves bores to those
who are disposed to be active and useful
Such characters are to be execrated wherever
found.-Bangor Wing.
4 NEW PR~oJEcTLE.-It is stated that Mr..
Colt, the celebrated inventor Of the revolving
pistol, has been engaged for some time, under
the authority of the Secretary Of the Navy, 10
making experiments in guns, pistols, shells,
bombs and other instruments of war. Mr..
Colt has just made a discovery of a new pro-
jectile, by which he can, with a single steam
81, defend the harbor Of New York against a
whole feet Of British ships and steamers. Il
is said he can ignite a destructive shell under
water. at the distance Of ten miles in a few
seconds. The principle is founded on that of
the electric fluid.

LIFE.
The following beautiful ILLUSTRATION Of life is by the
Bishop Hebcr:

The following beautiful ILLUSTRATION of life is by the
celebrated Bishop Hebcr:
"Life bears US on, like the stream of a
mighty river. Our boat at first glides gently
down the narrow channel, through the playful
murmurings of the little brook, and the wind
ings OF the grassy border. The trees shed
their blossoms over our head +; the flowers on
the brink seem to offer themselves 10 our young
hands ; we are happy in hope, and we grasp
eagerly at the beauties around US but the
stream hurries US on, and still our hands are
empty.
"Our course 10 youth and manhood is along
a wider aud deeper flood. and amid objects
more striking and magnificent. We are anil
mated by the moving picture of enjoyment and
industry which pass before us-we are excited
by some short-lived success, or depressed and
rendered miserable by some short-lived disap-
pointment. But our energy and dependence
are both in vain. The stream bears US on, and
our joys and griefs alike are left behind US; we
may be shIpwrecked. but we cannot anchor;
our voyage may be FASTENED, but it cannot be
delayed whether rough or smooth, the river
hastens to its home, Till the roaring Of the
ocean is in our ears and the tossing Of its
waves is beneath our heel--the land lessen
from our eyes-and the floods are lifted up a.
round us-and we take our leave Of its inhab-
itants ; and Of our further voyage there is no
witness but The Infinite and Eternal!
"And do we still take so much anxious tho't
for our future days, when the days that have
gone by have SO strangely and uniformly de-
ceived US! Can we so still set our hearts on
the creatures Of cd, when We find by sad ex-
p~erience that the creator only is permanet! =
And shall we not rather lay aside every weight,
and every sin which does most easily beset US,
and think of ourselves henceforth as wayfaring
persons only, who have no abiding inheritance
but in the hope of a better world, and to whom
even that world would be worse than hopeless,
if it were not for the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the interest we have in HE mercy"
