IN A TIGHT PLACE.

The New York Spirit says that a well
known Greek, "Major Dupley," being ask
ed as TO the Hghtesf place he bad wei got
into, looked reflective, took a Drink and re-
piled as follows:
"Well. the first lime / wentdown South,
going from Natchez to New Orleans, on the

try sort of a fellow-a varmint- looking
chap, from somewhere back Of Memphis.

Orleans, I'd got pretty MUGS oil he had,

him q wrinkle, IN :he gineral way into the
bargain. We both stopped at the same
house, in Camp street, and the first night
we got there, just after supper, my up
country friend beckoned me out of the bar
room, and taking me some ways up a dark
alley, that was next the hotel, he put his
hand to the back of his neck, aud drew an

CAL1roRNfA.-A letter written by a la
dy, whose husband went to California Will
a stock of goods, gives the following intel
Iligence, which we commend to tie ladies';
"The demand for manageable women
seems to be as great as for goods. This is
the only country in the world where wo-
man is properly appreciated. The proper,
ton of males is FIVE to one Of females; and
the labor of females is as much needed in
cooking, &c., at the gold region as the
males. There have been more marriages
within the last few months thaniu ten years
previous in the country. The squaws be-
fore they will go to the gold region make
efforts to get white husbands, whithkiheJ
soon obtain in the present situation of al
fairs. Father Manaque, the Catholic priest
has informed me that he married last monti
ITO white men to squaws.
The consequence is that the poor Indians
will soon be left without any class of. t"

FALSE REPORT.

VIZ are pleased to learn that the report,
which was so current in our city q few
weeks since, and to which we gave publ
cation, lhat the Sheriff of Schuyler coun-
ty had been killed by his own wife.in an
attempt to rob himself, is totally sunfoun-
.ded. The wretch who started tie report
deserves a cell in our penitentiaTy Mr.,
Weatherford, the Sheriff Of. Schuyler, We
understand, is an estimable and worthy
gentleman, highly respected in his county,
and whose character is irreproachable.
We hope such of our exchanges as may
have copied our publication, will give it an
immediate and emphatic contradiction

THE BLISS OF HOME,

by THOMAS II. sHREvE.
MISE be the joy which CLEANS around
The hearth where pure affections dwell
Where LOVE enrolled in smiles is found,
And wraps the spirit with its spell.
l would not seek e~xcitcment'1 whirl,
Where Pleasure wears her tinsel or own,
And PASSIONS pillows upwards curl,
Meath Hatred's darby gathering frown.
The dearest boon from heaven above,
Is bliss which brightly hallows home
The sunlight of our world Of LOVE,
Unknown to those who reckless roam.
There is a sympathy of heart
Which consccrateS The social shrine,
RObs grief of gloom, and doth impair
A joy to g~ladness all divine.
1t glances from the kindIing eye,
Which DER a~fliction s~leepIcss tends
1t gives deep pathos to the sigh
Which anguish from the busom rends.
1t plays aronnd the smiling lip,
When LOVE bestows the greeting kiss
And sparkles in each cup we sip
Round the domestic board in bliss.
Let others seek in wealth or fame,
a splendid path wEcreon 10 tread
I'D rather wear a lowlier name,
Win Loves entertainments round it shed.
Fame's but a light 10 gild the grave,
And wealth can never calm The breast
Bat Love, a llalcyon on life's wave.
Hath power to soothe its s~triles 10 rest.

DocToRs EASY AND FvssY.-There shall
be two men, doctors, for example, of equal
Learning and skill. They are on the look
out for a practice. Doctor Easy puts his
name on a brass plate on the door, and then
sits down in his drawing-room to vet for
patients. Need l say that he has generally
to wait a long time3 But Doctor Fassy
does not approve of the passive System
He keeps a horse and a chaise before he
has a visit to make. He hires people to a.
ilarm all the neighbored with peals of his
surgery bell. %He is continually being call
ed out of church, and has once ~ventured
on having his name shgsDsd as being i'm
mediately wanted, while attending a Low
ell lecture. Not a form of advertisement
does Doctor Pussy neglect; and the odds
are, in ths sRJ ethstutroie p5ctor Easy has
S iaeaaqd Ihs rat-tat at the door, of his first pa
Itient. Now, perhaps DR.. F. may, of the
two, be the bumbug; but very much ques-
tion whether hs is the fool. What applies
TO these two doctors, applies generally to
every trade and profession under the SUI.
Barring a lucky chance now and then, an
adventurer will find that in the battle of
life, every man must be his own trumpeter.

The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following eminent testimony TO the excellence OF
this standard dictionary.
The execution of this Dictionary fully answers
To its title. The VOCABULARY Is probably more
comprehensive than that Of all preceding Engish
Dictionaries united. Constant reference Is made TO
AUTHoRIrIEs with respect To words newly miro
duced, and is taken TO note such are techn-
cal, foreign, obsolete provincial, or vulgar. The
DEFINITIONS clear and exact, and those per-
tanning to technical and scientific terms are sPe-
cially valuable TO the general reader The author
has evidently bestowed great labor on PRoNyScIA-
TIoN. His system of Notation, which Is easily UNI
derstood and founded on more complete analysis
of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere met
with together with his plan of exhibiting all the
best English authorities in relation TO words differ
emily pronounced by different orthoepiss, gives to
this work important advantages as a Pronouncing
Dictionary. In oRTHoGRAPHy he has made no arr
bitrary changes, but where usage ID various and
fiuctuating he has aimed to be consistent, and to
reduce TO the same rules words OF similar orIna-
ton. The insertion of Grammatical forms and in
| Elections of words TO a much greater extent than
| they are given in other English Dictionaries, and
the short critical notes the photography, the pro-
nunciation, the grammatical form and construc
tion and the peculiar, technical, local. and Ameri-
1 of words interspersed through the volume,
