OLLAPODIANA.

There is capital anecdote told in this work,
of a Philadelphia charcoal man, who was
hard up as nuisance, for sounding his horn
in the streets. The official reproved him with
the most dignifed solemnity, and Jimmy stood
the rebuke, as if Satan had not only allowed
him his own color, but also his courage. His
reply was cogent and conclusive. Look here,
your HONOR said he, ! ha'nt no disposition,
by no means. to complain of them ere people
as has complained of me- Folks in my line
can bear upwards Of considerable in the way
Of epithets, without changing color and getting
mad. But do say, that axes them as charg-
es me with making too much noise in the
world, why they have got up such an antipa-
thy agin my horn! And should like to know
| if my little tin affair troubles them SO now,
how they will feel when they come to hear
the big trumpet that is to be blown at the day
of judgment, calling them, just as likely as
not, to coal hole, mighty sight blacker than
the one came from?"

SoRRow.-There is sorrow of the world,
that deserves little or no pity. And there is
a sorrow, too deep to be smoothed, but in the
rest of the grave. That is the sorrow felt by
her who sees the husband of her early affec.
tions going fast TO the drunkard's grave, and
to the abodes Of blackness and darkness for
ever! We can see our friends suffer; we may
stand by and witness the amputation of limb
and we may pity; but when we see that the
suffering of the body is but a prelude to the
pain that must follow; when we see the being
that we have loved, deliberately sacrificing
both body and soul, to demon that can show
no pity-to demon that has slain his thou.
sands, and delights in carnage and blood-it
is this will cause sorrow which mocks all con-
ISOLATION. 1t is worm that never dies To
lean on the trembling arm Of the tottering in
ebriate-to sleep on the couch with the start
ling, troubled, maddening, woe-begone, hope
less drunkard-are living, abiding sorrows, that
can die only with life itself! And such sor-
rows poor woman feels and endures, because
she cannot die-because she is constituted to
suffer, till the attenuated thread of life has
spun its last fibre, and the bleeding heart has
throbbed its last When the grave shall tell
its story-when the trump of the archangel
shall reanimate the sleeping dead-then, o.!
then, the murdered, slain-the thousands, yes,
the ten-thousands of inundated wives should
be swift witness against the cruel assassin
who, drop by drop, has drained the last parti-
Gle of blood from the palpilating heart of her
whom he had sworn to love and cherish through
life-who had wept and hoped entreated and
prayed-till despair had fastened its talons,
and the angel of mercy had fled forever!

A DREADFUL DEED.-A shocking event is
detailed in the Auburn papers, an awful warm
ing to those who are Incorporate. A Mr..
Fowler, not far from Sutphen's tavern, in the
town of Niles, was cruelty murdered by his
father. 1t is said that the old man, who was
in the habit Of drinking to excess, on Monday
night retired greatly intoxicated. Waking
about 2 o'clock, he commenced abusing his
wife, who at length, the door being fast, made
her escape through window, proceeding to
her sons, at a short distance, for protection.
The son, wishing to protect the house, pro-
ceeded thither; but upon opening the door,
was stabbed by the father completely through
the body with large sharp iron, and upon
falling blows were repeated, so that by the
time another son had made his appearance,
no less than twelve horrible gashes had been
inflicted. The son is said TO have been wor-
thy man. There was no hope Of his recovery.

THE SAILORS STORY.

Soon after the Revolutionary war, sailed
in noble ship on voyage to Europe, via
West Indies. One morning we spoke brig,
who informed US that the day before she saw
the smoke of a vessel, and saw another vessel,
small schooner, near it at the time, that was
evidently pirate; and that she was chased
by the latter many hours, and only escaped by
altering her course in fog. After delibera-
tion, it was concluded to alter our course and
proceed Soon the breeze died away, and a
dense fog came on. Just about midnight the
wind freshened, and the fog began to disperse.
The wind continued to freshen, and we were
just about to call help to take in sail, as the
old ship was ploughing through the waves at
a fearful rate, right before the gale; when all
at once we caught glimpse Of a sail. The
captain was called, and by the time he was on
deck the. pirate schooner, sure enough, was
within hail, crossing our track. ~
We were instantly saluted with a gun, and
with orders to heave to, and come alongside.
The captain groaned, but answered, aye, aye.
By the light Of the moon we saw the glitter
Of firearms, and the men streaming out Of the
gangway, until the deck was almost covered.
The noise awakened our passengers, and they
were now on deck, half dressed, wringing their
hands, and bemoaning the fate that awaited
them.
There was no time to deliberate. Run away
we could not; and as to fighting, we had
scarce gun on board. But the captain in an
instant took the helm, and shouted, stand by,
my boys, but wait orders. Every man was al
the halyards, expecting orders TO tack, or take
in sail, which our movements undoubtedly led
the pirate to suppose we were about to do.
Just then they were about TO cross our bows,
and shouted, ,Luf, Inf! with torrent Of
oaths and threats, and even orders to fire, but
all to no purpose. Our captain put the bows
Of his great ship head on, about midships Of
his adversary; and though the shock was tre-
mendous, and threw us to the deck, yet i,
stove through and went over, and the pirate
schooner was no more. And in ten minute:
after they fired their gun, every soul on boart
was buried in the blue waves; while we wen
on our voyage rejoicing, with very little dam
age.

FIENDISH BOAST.

On Sunday afternoon, rumseler attended
the meeting at the foot of Amos street, and
began to tantalise one Of the speakers about
his former drinking habits. He even had the
soulless impudence to boast that he had sold
the man who was now rescued from his
clutches, drink, until it had starved his horse
to death! lie was well reproved by youth
standing by, who replied that any man who
was not ashamed to tell Of such an act, would
just as soon have starved his victims wife and
children to death, by selling him rum, as his
horse.-N. Y. Organ.

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE.

A venerable American Judge relates the fol-
lowing revolutionary anecdote:
The morning following the battle of York
town, had the curiosity to attend the dress
ing Of the wounded. Among others whose
limbs were so much injured as to require am
putation, was musician who had received a
musket ball in his knee. AS was usual in
such cases, preparations were making to lash
him down to the table, to prevent the possi-
bility of his moving.
Says the sufferer, Now doctor, what would
you be at?" "My lad, I'm going to take off
your leg, and It's necessary you should be LASH
ed down." "Ill consent to no such thing.
You may pluck the heart from my bosom, but
you'll not confne me. Is there fiddle in the
tent? If so, bring it to me-" A violin was
furnished, and after tuning it he said, Now
doctor, begin," and he continued to play until
the operation, whichetpok aboutfsrty minutes,
was completed, without missing a note or
moving muscle.

A GREAT MAN.

The highest and noblest conception which
we can form of great and good man, is one
who understands the power of his own soul,
and is continually exerting that power for the
promotion of good; is one who cherishes a
deep and solemn sense of the sacredness OF
duty, be the consequences ever so injurious to
has interest; is one who in matters of religion
lends nought but deaf ear to the loud voices
OF sects, nought but a blind eye to all party
creeds, but scans the work OF nature, the rev.
elations OF scripture, and the warnings of the
human heart; is one who gives all truth a
welcome, how much soever it NAV conflict
with his pride; is one who is ever ready to
execute infiexble justice, how much soever it
may affect his interest; is one who rebukes all
evil doing, however high the transgressor may
stand; is one whose sympathies always es-
pouse the cause of the oppressed, the down.
trodden, and the injured. d.-Patriot. tE,

The AFFECTION OF OLD AGE.-How beau.
tifully affecting to witness an aged couple who
have weathered life's storms hand in hand
and smiled on each other amid all the trials
and tribulations which they have met in this
"vale of tears"-even as when basking to-
gether in the brightest sunshine Of prosperity
whose pleasure in each others society is de-
creased not by the rude buffetings of Time
that sure despoiler of all that is beautiful in
the "hunlan form divine" TO such couple,
thoughts of the past are an inexhaustble spring
Of JOY, as, from the mirror of memory, the
bright rays of the youthful happiness and love
are once more reflected upon them-and the
pure spirit of religion unfolds to their view,
through the portals Of the tomb, the hopeful
prospect ofa happy reunion in that world
Where parting is no more"

| Yankee pedlars abounded in those days, as
they do now; and il SO happened that one Of
them had located himself in the same tavern
with our valiant hero from Scotland. In the
course Of conversation, the major Observed
{" The Yankees are all cowards"
"That's false" cried the pedlar.
All eyes were turned upon the last speaker.
He was informed Of the courage and perform
ances of the major, and advised TO retract his
words; but all to no purpose. He persisted in
his assertion; and the consequence was chal-
lenge to fight duel the next morning, which
was instantly accepted by our Yankee, on con-
dtion that the battle should be fought with
out seconds.
Matters being thus agreed upon, the major
repaired TO the ground the next morning at
the time appointed, where he found the Yam
kee walking too and fro with shouldered
rife. On the majors appearance, with pair
of hair trigger pistols, the Yankee presented
his rife, and said,
"Lay down your arms, darn your skin, or
I'll blow your brains OUT"
"That is downright MURDER" says the ma
jor, "no man of honor would require any such
thing"
Now" says Jonathan, "rl deal fair with
you; I'll have the pistols, and you shall have
the rifle"
The major gladly made the exchange, and
seizing the weapon, cooked it, and aiming at
the breast of his antagonist, exclaimed,
"Deliver, or l will blow you through"
elbow and be hanged" says the Yankee.
The major snapped the piece, butt was
not loaded. He became SO mortified from the
circumstance, that he left the service.

ONLY SEW EN- TEEN.

Only seventeen, and disguised in liquor
Not drunk, you say, but disguised He only
takes an occasional glass? Don't believe it.
No young man ever took "an occasional
glass;" who did not create another occasion for
another glass. Only seventeen, and drink at
a tavern Is there power in the human
mind, to enable man to avoid destruction, and
will not that power rise into action when told
that youth of seventeen will pour down his
throat the fiery serpents Of death, vice, crime,
and insanity9 Look well to your own habits,
but also look with kind anxiety to the habits Of
those you love. Mothers look ye to the habits
of your sons! Have no consideration for the
excuse of an " occasional glass" Sisters, look
well to your brothers! The midnight, robber
comes not with a more deadly, silent, and
stealthy step, than the vice Of intemperance,
disguised in the hues of beauty. Beware Of
the rose tint on the cheek Of him who handles
the cup. The fend's first approach is not one
so revolving. He comes dressed in smiles. He
remains frowning in terror. He triumphs in
the howlings of discord. Music and dancing
announce his approach. The pail Of death,
and the chords rattling through the coffin, ce-
lebrate his triumphs American.
The Washingtonian., 1845-09-27

In the Republic Of Hayti, Brown tells us a
man was tried for stealing some articles of
food, while being cooked in pot over the fire.
1t was argued in his defence, that the larceny
was committed under the influence Of hunger;
and the court decided that it was not unlawful
for man to steal when hungry. To this it
was replied that he had stolen the pot also.
But in this dilemma the court decided, that, as
the yictuals could not be conveniently taken
away without the pot, it was allowable that the
pot should accompany its contents.
