GROWING THE WISEST;
OR, A YANKEE AMONG THE AR1srocRAT

OR, YANKEE AMONG THE ARISToCRATs.
Not many years ago it happened that a
young man from New York visited London.
His father being connected with several mag
mates of the British aristocracy, the young
American was introduced into the fashona-
Bile circles of the metropolis, where Gin con-
sequence of his fine personal appearance, or
that his father was reported to be very rich
he attracted much attention, and became
quite the favorite of the ladies'. This was
not at all relished by the British beaux, but
as no very fair pretext offered for rebuff,
they were compelled to treat him civilly.-
Thus the matter stood when an Hon. M. 2.
and lady made a party to accompany them
to their country seat in Cambridgeshire, and
the American was among the invited guests.
Numerous were the devices to which these
devotees of pleasure resorted in order to
kill that old fellow who aDiU measure his
hours when he ought to know they are not
wanted, and the ingenuity Of every one was
taxed to remember or invent something
novel.
The Yankees are proverbially ready for in
vention, and the American did honor to his
character as man accustomed to freedom
of thought. He was frank and gay, and en-
tered into the sports and amusements with
that unaffected enjoyment which communi-
Gated part of his fresh feelings to the most
worn out fashionists in the party. His good
nature would have been sneered at by some
of the proud cavaliers, had he not been such
capital shot, and he might have been
quizzed had not the ladies, won by his re-
spectful and pleasant civilities, and his con-
slant attention in the drawing room and sa'
loon, always showed themselves his friends
But combination was at last formed among
trio of dandies, staunch patrons of the
Quarterly, to annihilate the American
They proposed to vary the eternal waltzing
and piping by the acting of charades, and
playing various games, and having enlisted

outside of the Court room! Several days
often elapse before we hear in the street
whether a human being has been condemned
to death, or acquitted, on his trial for the
crime of murder. Bodies are found dead
round about and among us, some probably
murdered, some suicides, and the Coroner
and his jury may hold their inquest in peace,
without half dozen others hearing of the
awful facts! They are subjects so common
as really to excite the least curiosity. A
dead body in the rive, tracts hardly as muct
attention as captured catfish struggling fol

USE OF THE BEARD.


BY recurring to the customs of the ail-
clients, both previous to and for long peri
cd subsequent to the time of our Savor,i it
will be seen that it was customary to wear
the hair and beard long. We also learn
from the best authorities that diseases ofthe
throat and chest, as well as scrofulous and
analogous complaints, were of~very rare oc.
currence among them. Indeed we believe
it tQibe fact which cannot be controyerted,
that with those nations where the hair and
beard are worn long, people are more hardy
and robust and much less subject to diseases,
particularly of pulmonary character, than
those who shave. The Turk, the Russ, the
Greenlander, the Persian, &c. have been
nearly exempt from bronchial and lung COM
plants IN comparison with the European
and American. Nor can this be attributed
to any climate influence, for no people are
more exposed TO atmospheric changes than
the inhabitants of those northern regions.
The fashion of shaving the beard, like ma
ny foolish and injurious customs of civilized
life has often originated from absurd and RI
dlculous causes. Among the first who prac-
tlced shaving the beard were the soldiers of
Alexander the Great, who were commanded
to remove their boards in order that thew
might not serve as handles to their enemies
in battle. When Leuis XIII ascended the
throne OF France, in 1856, it was the GUS
tom OF the inhabitants 10 allow their faces
to remain as their Creator made them. This
monarch, however, was beardless youth,
and thus, IN order 10 ape royalty, was sha-
wing introduced in similar manner. Philip
'. was beardless boy, and therefore for
fashions sake, did his subjects, hitherto no.
bic and manly in appearance, reduce them.
selves to this unnatural and childish state.
The hair, being bad conductor of caloric,
is admirably calculated to retain the heat Of
those parts which it covers, and to protect
the important organs within from the effects
OF cold and the constant atmospheric vicisi-
tudes to which man must be exposed The
Importance of this protective agent will be
appreciated when it is borne in mind how
many infammatory attacks are inducedby the
sudden application of cold and by suppress
ing that function so necessary to health, the
perspiration. With long and heavy beard,
man can brave with impunity the 60 peltings
OF the pitiless Storm" and bid defiance 10
the cold winds Of winter, while shaven and
unguarded throat must succumb to the pierc-
ing blast. -

Pm thinking on thy smile, Mary
Thy bright and trusting smile
In the morning of thy youth and love,
Ere sorrow came-or guile;
When thnie arms were twined about my neck.
And mine eyes looked into thine,
And the heart that throbbed for me alone,
Was nesting close to mine!
| see full many smile, Mary,
On young lips beaming bright
And many an eye Of light and love
Is flashing in my sight
But the smile is not for my poor heart,
And the eye is strange to me,
And loneliness comes o'er my soul,
When its memory turns to thee!
Pm thinking on the night, Mary,
The night of grief and shame,
When with drunken rawlings on my lips,
0, the tear was in thine earnest eye,
And thy bosom wildly heaved,
Yet smile of love was on thy cheek,
Though thy heart was sorely grieved!
But the smile soon left thy lips, Mary,
And thine eye grew dim and sad,
For the tempter lured my steps from thee,
And the wine-cup drove me mad :
From thy cheek the roses quickly fled,
And thy ringing laugh was gone,
Yet thy heart still fondly clung to me,
And still kept trusting on.
o, my words were harsh to thee, Mary,
For the wine-cup made me wild,
And child thee when thine eyes were sad,
And cursed thee when they smiled
God knows loved thee even then,
But the fire was in my brain,
And the curse of drink was in my heart,
To make my love bane.

In the spring-time of our life,
When looked upon thy sunny face,
And proudly called the, wife
And twas pleasant when our children played
Before our cottage door:-
But the children sleep with thee, Mary,
meier shall see them more.
Thou'rt resting in the church yard, now,
And no stone is at thy head;
But the sexton knows drunkard's wife
Sleeps in that lowly bed -
And he says the hand of God, Mary,
Will fall with crushing weight
On the wretch who brought thy gentle life
To its untimely fate!
But he knows not of the broken heart

Or the heavy load of vain rcmorse,
That will not let me rest:
He knows not of the sleepless nights,
When dreaming of thy love,

Look coldly from above.

And the widest strains Ive sung
Till with the laugh of drunken mlrth
The echoing air has rang:-
But pale and sorrowing face looked out
From the glittereng cup on me,
And trembling whisper heard,
That fancied whispered by thee!
Thou art slumbering in the peaceful grave,
And thy sleep is dreamless now,
But the seal of an undying grief
Is on thy mourner's brow, .....a
And my heart is chill as thine, Mary,
For the joys of life have fled,
And long to lay my aching breast

WAGES IN THE EAST INDIEs.-The follow.
ing from an article Oh India in the London
New Moral World, will give some idea ofthe
value of money as compared with labor, in
Hindostan;
A laborer in large town gets fourpence
hall-penny per diem, an artisan sixpence, wo-
men threepence. A high caste lad thinks
himself fortunate, if after having served in
government Office he can get an appointment
something less than five shillings a-week,
and if ever he arrives at thirty shiIlings per
week is looked up to with envy by his caste
fellows. Native village schoolmasters are
paid the splendid salaries of two shillings and
sixpence a-week. A native performs an act
of piety, and rids himself of troublesome
beggar at the same time, by the gift of
thirty-fourth part of a farthing; the thirty
fourth part of a farthing being the smallest
representation ofmoney current there. Fl
nally, lad upon his first arrival from Eng
land, on the civil service, gets f3O a-month,
and G3 additional for his moonshee. The
collectar for the district in which l live gets,
believe, about G200 a-month!
