A PRACTICAL Joke

allow use doth breed a habit in man." Eve
ny body has noticed the truth and point Of this
exclamation. I've remember ON instance.
A gentleman Of considerable talent as On ora
tor, became the member Of a Legislative body in
one of the eastern States. In speaking, he was
addicted 10 an old habit Of handling his specta-
cles, first placing them on bis nose, suffering
themto remain q minute or two-throwing them
up ON his forehead, and finally folding them up
and laying them before him upon the desk.
One day, a very important question came up
for consideration, he commenced speech in OPP
position A friend to the proposed measure,
who was a most incorrigible wag withal, deter
mined to spoil the effect of the honorable mem
ber's remarks, and accordingly before he enter
ed the House, provided himself with q dozen
pairof speclacles. tt Remember commenced his
speech, with his usual ability. But n few min
utes had elapsed before he was at work with his
spectacles, and finally got them up on his FORE
head. AT this %juncture, our wag, who stood rea-
dy, laid another pair on the desk before the spea-
ker. These were taken up and by regular gra-
dations, gained a place on his forehead, by the
side of the others. A third, fourth, and fifth pair
was disposed of in the same manner A smile
settled on the countenances of the honorable
members, which gradually heightened into n
grin, and at last when the speaker had warmed
into one Of his most patriotic and most eloquent
sentences he deposited a sixth pair with the 9TH
ers, and there was one long and loud pealoflaugh-
ter, from all quarters Of the hall--presidents,
CLERKS, messengers and members, Joined in one
chorus. The speaker himself looked around in
establishment at this curious interruption; but
accidently raising his hand he graspcd his specta-
cles, and the whole force of the joke rushed upon
his mind. He dashed the glasses upon the floor;
took up his hat and left the hall. The bill passed
by a triumphant majority, probably in conse-
quencc of the gentleman's silly and useless
habit.

TIE DUELIST.
February "a ls45.

He is an honorable gentleman, who deserves
ID be classed by the side of the murderer, the
assassin and the pirate. He scarcely deserves
any sympathy from any of his species except
those of his owv profession. He belongs TO ar
other community, regulated by its own laws. In
giving or accepting a challenge, he steps out Of
civil society, and places himself in the midst of
a barbarous age; he steps over all statute law,
and declares himself amendable only to his own
code. If he falls in the contest, he dies a fool
and goes to the judgement with the fury of hell
flashing from his eyes, and the stencil of his fou-
lest localities issuing from his mouth. And if
he escapes the fire of his antagonist, and is him
self The successful comhatant, then he has not
only hurried his victim into eternity to meet the
Eetributions of a righteous God, but he has made
himself a murderer, and will be compelled 10 feel
the flashing OF a guilty conscience as long as he
lives.
To call his crime murder simply, is to speak
too mildly of its character. II isl both murder and
suicide, and is acted off with a profesed re-
gard to the rules Of honor, which make itso much
The worse. Honor !! Shame on him 1t is al
most sacrilege 10 mention the word in such a
connection He ought 10 wear the mark OF
Cain upon his forehead, or else be confined in
some lonely prison. 1t would not be bad policy
to ~eclonize all such upon some distant island, and
let them be regulated by their own laws. And
yet men Of this stamp are allowed 10 return from
The battle ground where they have showed of
their murderous deeds, and resume their seats
in our Congressional halls and the people allow
tito be so!!-Religious Recorder.

An HONEST BoY.--That "honesty is the best
policy" was illustrated some years since under
the following circun stances, detailed by the Ro-
chester Democrat. lad was proceeding TO ar
uncle's TO petition him for aid for a sick sister
and her children, when he found wallet contain
ing fifty dollars. The aid was refused, and the
distressed family were pinched for want. The
boy revealed the fortune TO his mother, but ex-
pressed a doubt about using any portion Of the
mOney.-His mother confirmed his good resolu-
tien-the pocket book was advertised, and the
owner found. Being a man Of wealth, upon lear
ming The history Of the family, he presented the
fly dollars to the sick mother, and took the boy
intohis service and be is now one Of the most
successful merchants in Ohio. Honesty always
brings lis reward-to the mind If not to the peck

JOHN RANDoLPM's WlLL.-The Baltimore
Sun states that all the parties interested in tho
Will of John Randolph, have compromised the
dispute since the late verdict Of the Jury, by the
terms Of which the negroes get their freedom,
and the residue of the estate goes to the heirs at
law.
Since the above was in type, We find the fol-
lowing particulars of the settlement of this vex-
ed question in the Richmond Enquirer:
TCin. Politician.
"The negroes, about $50 in number, are liberia
ted, and will receive $4,000 and their wages
for this year. 1t is probable that tracts Of land
will be purchased in Texas, on which they will
be settled. The remainder of the estate, esti-
mated at from 100000 to $l25,O00 will be d.
vlded into five parts; of which two-ffths will go
to st. Geo Randolph, a nephew of full blood,
and, after his death, tob be shared equally between
the relations on the maternal and paternal sides;
one-ifth to H. st. Geo! Tucker, ESQ.,; one-ffth
to Judge Beverly Tucker; and the remaining
one-ffiA o,the children of Judge Coulter and
Mr.. Bryan, Of Gloucester, who is specially ex-
cnpted from accounting for rents and profits"

A Fortunate REcovERY.-A young lady of
Philadelphia, a few days since, picked up peck
ct book in Fourth street, near Market, which she
had reason TO suppose 10 have been just dropped
by a gentleman passing by. She inquired Of the
gentleman, who proved lie be a merchant from
Tennessee, if he had lost anything, TO which he,
with some surprise at the inquiry, replied in The
negative. The young lady repeated her inquiry,
and suggested that be should satisfy himself by
examining. On doing this he suddenly started
and declared himself a ruined man, for he had
lost his pocket book. The book was then han
.ded to him by the lady, on recovering which the
gratitude of the stranger was unbGunded, aud on
the young lady's positively refusing TO accept a
portion Of the lost money, he insisted upon pre-
.senting her with a gold watch, which was de-
.clined. The s strange merchant, however, forced
upon the lady two notes Of twenty dollars each,
being all the loose money in his pocket, The
.peckct book contained $4,000.

THE DEVIL MARRIED.-This is no joke, it
is a stubborn fact. In Milton Pennsylvania, says
the Republican, on Christmas day, by the Rev.
Mr.. Slower, Mr.. John Devil wa2 joined in holy
m%atrimony, to Miss Elizabeth Shad, all of Milton.
This is a marriage extraordinary; an event abb
solutely unprecedented in ancient or modern
times, that the Devil should catch a sllad in mid
winter, and take her "alive and kicking" TO his
wedding supper. Mr.. Devil is said to be a very
respectable young butcher.
What kind OF a generation will spring from
that? Half Devil and half fish, CHI?
We know tie world is full of evil,
AT thoughts of which we're often sad
And sadder still, now, that the Devil
Hath turned his hook 10 catching shdd.
Twas bad enough in ancient time,
When driven from the heart of man,
He Joined himself unto the Swinc:
Who to the sea affrightod ran.
Strange were his power beneath the deep,
If now, indeed, he's gained his wishes,
And with young cupid puts 10 sleep,
The fear of him among the fishes.
