LONGEVITY OF THE PoETs.-Words-
worth was lately present at Queens
ball in London. A London journal there
upon remarks:
Poetry must truly be healthy occu-
patton. 1t was never considered very
fattening, but the vital and divine spirit
must be strong i'll the tuneful tribe. Here
is Wordsworth, aged 79, travelling from
Westmoreland, and joining in the court
gayeties, besides writing sonnets. There
is Samuel Rogers, aged II, running about
to routs and picture sales. James Mont
gomery, at Sheffield, in his 77th, is still
intent on poetry and benevolence; and
Thomas Moore, the Little, who, upon
Monday. entered upon 20, sings his Irish
melodies with as much gusto as ever,
sips his pint of claret, and now and then
indites honeyed verses on rosy lips, blue
eyes, and "all that sort Of thing" joan

graces her retreat at Hampstead One

years, and after eating more opium than

AN EXCUSE FOR SMoAKING.-In the reign
of James /, of tobacco-hating notoriety,
the boys of school acquired the habit
of smoking, and indulged night and day,
using the most ingenious expedients to
conceal the vice from their master till
one luckless evening, when the imps
were huddled together around the fire of
their dormitory, involving each other in
vapors of their own creating, 10. in bursts
the master and stood in awful dignity
before them.
allow now," quoth the dominic to the
first lad; show dare you be smoking
tobacco?"
"Sir," said the boy, Il am subject to
the headache, and pipe takes off the
pain
.And you? and you? and you?" inquired
the pedagogue, questioning every body
in his turn
One had raging TOOTH" another
cholic; the third cough; in short, they
all had something.
"Now Sirrah," beloved the doctor to
the last boy, "what disorder do you smoke
for!"
Alas! all these excuses were exhausted;
but the interrogated urchin, putting down
his pipe after farewell Whit, and look
ing up to his masters face, said in
whining hypocsitical tone, "Sw, Isnsoke

A GHOST IN LovE-The French paper
L'Abeille Cauchoise relates the following
story: ae.
"A farmer of Yvotot, who has lately
become widower, was reused one night
by the barking of his dog. On going to
it the animal displayed extreme terror,
whereupon the farmer took his gun and
proceeded to an inspection. All at once
he saw horrid phantom, clothed in a
white sheet, rise behind the hedge. The
farmer turned pale and his limbs shook
with dsmay. He, however, contrived
to calculate: eff you come from God,
speak; if from the devil, vanish
wretch. exclaimed the phantom, Il
am your deceased wife, come from the
grave to warn you not to marry Marie
A., to whom you are making love.
She is unworthy to fill my place. The
only woman to succeed me is Henriette
B. Marry her, or persecution and
torment shall be your DOOM This
strange address from the goblin, instead
of dismaying the farmer, restored his
courage. He accordingly rushed on the
ghostly visiter, and stripping off its sheet,
discovered the fair Henriette B. her
self, looking excessively foolish. 1t is
said that the farmer, admirlng the girls
trick, has had the bands published for
his marriage with her.

COTTON SEED ExTRACToR.-The New
York Farmer and Mechanic, speaking of
a new invention, which. if what is said of
it be true, must prove ofgreat importance
to the. cotton planter, says:
The cotton seed extractor, new in
vention of MIR. Stephen r. Parkhurst is
said to be of the most perfect machine of
the kind, and will prove of the greatest
advantage to all branches of the cotton
manufacture The machine is of the
simplest construction, and it seems a won
der that the idea had not long since been
suggested. 1t is composed mainly of two
cylinders, closely set together, feeder,
and the ordinary fan. The cotton con-
tanning the seed is thrown on the feeder,
which extracts the seeds whole, the cot
ton being passed by fan into receiver.
The quantity of cotton cleaned by this
machine will far exceed that of the ordi-
nary saw-gin now in use, and a third less
power is required to keep it in operation.
By this method the texture and length Of
the fibre is completely preserved, the value
of the cotton will be greatly enhanced,
and the intrinsic worth is increased from a
cent to cent and a half per pound. 1t
is calculated that thousand pounds Of
cotton can be extracted in the same space
of time that is required to extract twenty
four pounds by the common saw-gin.-
The machine may be worked for ten years
without requiring repair. 1t will, when
generally known, supercede everything of
the kind.

WHATS IN A NAME?'-Peebles not long
since rushed into the Office of Squire Riv-
ers. and hastily directed a deed of real
estate to be drafted.
TO whom is the estate to be conveyed?'
inquired the Squire. 1
TO George Bitters,' replied PEBBLES.
'Bitters, Bitters, singular name; are
you sure you have it right? Isn't it But
ters or Betts?'
No! it is Bitters and nothing else.'
And PEBBLES vanished like sky rocket.
The deed was duly drawn up and run
ming throughout appeared the said
George Bitters.' &C., with all the legal
repetition usual in such cases. Next day
the purchaser called for his deed.
Whats all this" exclaimed he, on
casting his eyes over the instrument;
George Bitters! who's he?'
Your name, sir, imagine, responded
the Squire.
MY name! no such thing, sir; my name
is not 'Bitters, it is Stowghton. George
Stougbtoaa.' W
On being informed of the mistake, Pee
bles very quietly remarked, that if'Stough-
ton and 'Bitters' were not synonymous
words he didn't understand the English
language Boston Journal

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORA man
was angry with his wife, as was often
the case, either because she talked too
much or contradicted him, or for some
other reason; in short, he was out of hu-
NOR with her, and resolved not to speak
single word to her for a long, long time
He kept his resolution for a few days very
strictly. One evening he is lying in bed
and wishes to sleep; he draws his night
cap over his ears, and his wife may say
what she will, he hears nothing of it
The wife then takes candle and carries
it into every hole and corner; she removes
stools, and chairs, and tables. and looks
carefully behind them. The husband
sets up in bed, and gazes inquiringly at
her movements; he thinks that the din
must have an end at last But he is mis-
taken. His wife keeps on looking and
searching. The husband loses patience,
and cries:
"What are you looking for?"
"For yonr tongue" she answers, "and
now that 1 have found it, tell me why
you are angry"
Hereupon they become good friends
again.

ENDURING GRIEF OF WIDows.-A
young Tipperary widow-Nelly McPhee,
[ think he called her-was courted, and
actually had an offer from Tooley O'Shane,
on her way to her husbands funeral
"She accepted, of course" said Grosman.
"No she didn't,' said Smith. ''Tooley,
DEAR" said she, "you're too late; four
wakes ago it was, I shook hands wi Pat
Sweeney upon it, that would have him
a dacent time arter poor McPhee was
underboard "Well," said Grosman.
"widows of all nations are much alike.
There was a Dutch woman whose hus-
band, Diedrick Won Pronk, died, and left
her inconsolable. He was buried on
Copp' 's-hill. Folks said that grief would
kill that widow. She had figure of
wood carved, that looked very like her
late husband, and constantly kept it in
her bed for several months. In about
half year she became interested in a
young shoemaker, who took the length
of her foot, and finally married her. He
had visited the widow not more than a
fortnight, when the servants told her they
were out of kindling stuff, and asked what
should be done. After pause the widow
replied, in a very quiet way-'Maybe it
ish we'll enough now to shplit up old Won
Pronk, vat is up stairs.

The TOMB OF WAsHINGToN.-The pro-
position that Congress should purchase
the Mount Vernon estate SO that the
tomb of Washington should be inclosed
within national ground, was generally
very acceptable to the public, when made;
but for some reason or other, we know
not what, it failed of success. A cores
pondent of The Boston Atlas, who recent
ly visited Mount Vernon, says that the
present proprietor would willingly sell
the mansion, with several hundred acres
of land, to the National Government,
although he would not part with a foot of
it to any stranger. The correspondent
adds: ave do not believe that any person
ever visited this hallowed spot without
going away with the conviction that the
purchase of it should be made by Con-
gress. Let the nation own it, and fit it up
in manner worthy of the Republic and
of the Illustrious dead, whose name is
our richest inheritance, and whose life
was one uninterrupted flow of the highest
and puest actions that ever marked the
family of man. 1t is disreputable that
it should longer remain in its present
state. If we had Mount Vernon in old
Massachusetts; if Washington had been
her son, and his body laid within her
mould, how the spot would be treasured
in our hearts, and beauti6ed by our hands.
The people of our Commonwealth would
count it as their richest treasure, and our
maidens would keep the tomb dressed
with flowers in perennial freshness.

A PoLITE SHERIFF-Making his
Neck Comtortabk&--Snerif Sumner was
remarkable for .hissgreat attention to mat
tiers of etiauettet~ Nothing could make
him folgst his natural politeness, and at
times this quality was extended when it
had a most ludicrous effect. Towards
criminals he was exceedingly polite, and
on one occasion when an unfortunate
prisoner was to be executed, the sheriff,
with that kindness of heart which was one
of his prominent characteristics, paid every
attention to the culprit which his dread
full situation seemed to require, and when
the poor fellow was led upon the scafold,
and the rope had been adjusted, Mr..
manner $3.50
"Does the knot suit you, sir?"
"Yes, don't know but it does" said
the prisoner.
eff [ could make it more comfortable
to you l should be extremely happy"
said the sheriff. "Will you do me the
your handkerchief"
II havn't got any handkerchief" said
the prisoner. as4
"Oh! excuse me. Will you oblige me
by making use of mine for the occasion?"
The handkerchief was accepted and
the black cap was drawn over the DOOM
ed mans head. After short time the
handkerchief was dropped. MIR. Sumner
cut the cord, and as the body dropped
down, he raised his hat from his lead
and said with most polite bow, and
bland smile, "Good morning, SIR"

WHAT CONSTITUTES A STATE. E.-This is
a question asked by Sir William Jones,
and answered by himself in lines of grand
import and of high sounding melody. In
the drift and eddies OF our tide of ex-
changes there may be picked up, now
and then, some floating treasure worthy
of being rescued from random current;
and among these we find an unaccredited
extract, most probably from Horace Mann,
which the intelligent reader will prize,
whoever may be the author:
"Let us thank Heaven, too, that there
are standards of greatness besides vast
ness of territory; and other forms OF
wealth besides mineral deposits or agri-
cultural exuberance. Though every hill
were Potosi, though every valley, like
that of the Nile were rank with fatness,
yet might a nation be poor in the most
desperate sense, benighted in darkness OF
barbarism and judgement-stricken OF
heaven for its sins. A State has local
boundaries which it cannot rightfully
transcend; but the realm of intelligence,
and the sphere of charity, the moral do
main in which the soul can expand and
expatiate, are illiinitable--vast and bound
less as the Omnipresence of the Being
that created them. Worldly treasure is
of that nature that rust may corrupt, or
the moth destroy, or thieves steal; but
even upon the earth, there are mental
treasures which are unapproachable by
fraud, impregnable to violence, and whose
value does not perish, but is redoubled
with its using. A State, then, is not ne
cessarily fated to insigni6cance because
it's dimensions are narrow, nor doomed to
obscurity and powerless because its num-
bers are few. Athens was small, yet low
as were her moral aims, she lighted up a
whole earth as lamp lights up temple.
Judea WINS small; but her prophets and
her teachers were and will continue to be,
the guides of the world. The narrow
strip of half cultivated land, that lies be-
tween her eastern boundaries is not Mas
sachusetts; but her noble and incorrupti-
BILE men, her pure and exalted women,
the children in her schools, whose daily
lessons are the preludes and rehearsals
of the great duties of life, and the proph
ecies OF future eminence-these are the
State"

FAREWELL TO MOUNT VERNON.

A correspondent of the National In
telligencer, who commanded the troops
that furnished the escort to Lafayette, on
his departure from our shores for France,
thus describes the emotion of the noble
hearted Frenchman on passing Mount
Vernon:
"The Brandywine, you remember, lay
some eighty miles down the Potomac, in
command of the gallant Commodore
Morris, waiting the arrival of Lafayette.
1t was about here, said I to my friend,
that Tench Ringgold, then Marshal of
this District. came to the foot Of the
cabin stairs, we being at dinner, saying
"Gentlemen, came here to announce
that we are approaching Mount Vernon.
Gen. Lafayette having expressed desire
to see this sacret spot, you will all keep
your seats, and he will step on deck and
look at it as We pass.
Instantly Gen. Lafayette arose attend
ed by his son. Having been requested
by the Secretary of the Navy Mr.. South
