CAPT. Tyler NOT HEADED YET.-A Vir-
ginla paper tells good story of Ex-Presi-
dent Tyler, which shows that he is not the
man to be headed so easily as some may
imagine.
The Judges of the County Court last
spring appointed him overseer ola very bad
road, forcing to discharge very annoying
duty, or subjecting him to the fine prcscri-
bed by statute for a failure to discharge the
public business imposed on him. Instead
OF neglecting the business, however, he en-.
tered upon it with great vigor, and called
on the Judges and others TO turn out and
work on the road, as required by law. As
the road was very rough, he kept them
working on it for two months. They beg
ged to be let off but he refused to discharge
them. They then petitioned him to resign,
but ne declared it to be to difficult to get
INTO office now, for him voluntarily TO
abandon authority when conferred upon
him, besides, he would be liable to a fine il
he failed to have the road put in good con-
dition. They promised to pay the fine if he
would back OUTPUT he preferred to be above
any such favor by doing his duty fully and
legally. They were thus headed at their
own game, as their short crops have since
proved.

AN "ARDENT" oUTH.-Some little ex-
element was created in one of the Hotels al
Niagara Falls, lately, by a somewhat start
ling display of " chivalry" on the part of
an "ardent as Southern sun can make
him youth just arrived from the South 1t
seems that the fiery Southerner, on entering
the dining room was about seating himself
at the breakfast table, with his ladies', in
chairs reserved for others, when the waiter
very politely informed him that such was
the fact. and offered him another place. En-
ragged at this infringement upon his dignity,
the southerner drew his knife for the pur-
pose of stabbing the waiter on the spot, bet
was fortunately prevented from so doing by
the interference of others who we're present.
After few minutes of disturbance, the young
blood paid his bill, and notwithstanding the
rain was pouring down in torrents, left with
his ladies for another house. Chronotypc.

are: the atmosphere, consequently. is more
rarified, and the light comes, as it were pure,
and pellucid from heaven; YOU seem able
to touch the stars, so brilliantly near do
they stand out relieved against the back
ground of an intensely blue sky. Strolling
on such nights in Mexico, when saw the
sharp lines of the tower and temple come
boldly out with sharp, and even color, al
most as bright, yet softer than at MONDAY,
| have often been tempted to say that the
moonlight you get at home (much as it is
the theme poets and Lovers is but second
hand stuff, compared with that of Mexico.
And so with the climates. Between the
sea-shore at Vera Cruz and the volcanoes,
whose eternal SHOWS hang over Mexico,
you have every climate in the world.
In the valley there is perpetual spring.
For six months in the year (the winter
months, as they are called rain never falls;
during the Other six months showers occur
almost daily. 1t is never hot-never very
cool-and you may wear your cloak or
summer dress the whole year, according
to the temper of your nervous SYSTEM
One side of the street is always TOO warm
at noon. Cold and sleeting as it is here in
January, the roses are already blooming
freshly in the gardens of Mexico. Nor is
there perceptible change of foliage on the
forest trees; the new leaves push off the old
ones with ''gentle force and the regene-
ration Of the seasons is effected without the
process Of fading, whitening, and dying,
which makes with us the melancholy DAYS
Of autumn 1.-The saddest of the year.
To look at the external world,yo would
say there was no ouch thing as death in
Mexico. The rose and the leaf you admire
to-day, are replaced tomorrow by fresh
buds and renewed verdure.

time to drive 10 Mr.. Hammers, gentleman with
whom be had formed some previous acquaintance.
After he had left Rome short distance he obser ell
a man rowing boat in the river, and close to the
shore. As the moon was shining very bright, he
observed him strike info cluster of trees that lined
the shore; and as he rejecting on the singular
idea of man taking row at that time OF night,
he was startled from his reverles by a command to
halt and az the same time the nfan from the boat
seized his uigh horse by the bride. Mr.. Payne
