Hannah, Adeline, Gertrude, Amelia! and all
the lazy girls, arouse-wake up-rise and see
the sun shine, and brush away the dew from
the beautiful grass. You not only loose the
best of the day, while you linger in bed, but
you depress your spirits and contract sluggish
habits. What if you are sleepy jump out of
bed-hy around-stir about and in a few mo-
ments you will be as gay as larks. We would
not give a straw for girls that won't get up 10
the morning. What are they good iori La
Zy dumpish creatures--they are not fit for |
wives or companions. Our advice to young
men who are looking out for wives, would be-
never select a female who dozes away the pre-
cious morning hours. She may be help eat,
but never prove help meat.
Brigadier General Rugges, of Hardwick, in
this county, was somewhat of tyrant in his |
domestic relations, and had sometimes the war
spirit within his own territory. He had val
liable dog, Jowler, which was often source of
much annoyance TO his 'better half" On one
occasion, the General, having been sometime
absent, found, on his return, a sumptuous dinner
prepared for him, OF which sea-pie, so called, !
his especial lavorite, was the principal dSh.-
Having eaten very heartily, his wife enquired
how he liked his dnneri He replied in terms
Of unqualified praise. His wife then said, she
presumed he would relish it,-for, as he was so
fond of Jowler while living, she knew he would
like him dead and had therefore prepared a
nice sea-pie Of his favorite dog. The General
was 30 enraged that he made vow never again
TO taste any kind Of animal food-a promise
which he strictly kept to the close of his life,
many years after.-BGrre Patriot.

A German paper states that the death of the
rich Countess of K, who was everywhere
known for almost incredible meanness and par
simony, is very remarkable. She had 10000
dollars year income, and died of cold, because
she was too misery to keep her rooms warm;
few hours before her death she had foddered |
her horses with her own hands. Every cor
ncr of her house was filled with gold and valu-
able papers. Fifty thousand dollars have al
ready been foudd.
