Fat Hen.


The following touch OF genial humor is
extracted from The Lectures of Rev. HENRY
GILES, now going through the press of
Messrs. Iicknor, Reed and Fields:
"There is something cordial in fat
man. Everybody likes him, and he likes
every body. Your Ishmaelites are, in truth.

all skeleton and bile. Food docs fd,
man good; il clings 10 him; ii fructifies
upon him; he swells nobly out. and fills a
generous space in life. He is living.
walking minister ofgratitude to the bounty
of the earth, and the fulness thereof; ali
incarnate testimony against the vanites OF
care, radiant manifestation of the wisdom
of good humor. A fat man, therefore.
almost in virtue of being fat man, Is,
per Sc, popular man; and commonly he
deserves his popularity. In crowded
vehicle The fattest man will ever be the
most ready 10 make room. Indeed, he
seems half sorry for his size, lest it be III
the way of others; but others would not
have him less than he is: for his humanity
is usually commensurate with his bulk
4 fat man has abundance of rich juices.
The hinges of his system are well oiled;
the springs of his being are noiseless; and
so he goes his way rejoicing, in fall con-
tentment and placidity. 4 fat
man feels his position solid in tae world;
he knows that his being is cog1liz zabie; he
knows that he has marked place iii the
universe, and that he need take no extra
ordinary pains 10 advertise mankind that
he is among them; he knows that he is in
no danger of being overlooked. Your thin
man is uncertain, and therefore he is un-
easy. He may vanish any hour into moth
ing; already he is almost shadow, and
hence it is that he uses such laborious
efforts 10 convince you of his existence;
to persuade you that he is acrually some
thing; that he is more than a non-enity;
that he is positive substance as well as
his corpulent fellow-creature. Ii
really does take a deal of wrong to make
one actually hate fat man; and if we are
not altays so cordial 10 a thin man as we
ought 10 be, Christian charity should take
into account the force of pref udice which
we have to overcome against his thlnness.
A fat man is the nearest 10 that most per-
feet of figures, mathematical sphere;
thin man 10 that most limited of conceiva-
bic dimensions, simple line. \ fat man
is being Of harmonious volume, and holds
relations to the material universe in every
direction; thin man has nothing but
length; thin man, in fact, is but the con-
finGation of q point.

Yankees i'll Paris.

To visit the Continent is nothing III
these days of steamers, but the manner III
which our Yankee sovereigns lord it in
Paris is amusing if not instructive. Ken
dali, the accomplished correspondent of
the y. o. Picdy,tne, gives the following
hit at the Yankee IN Paris.-NetU HaUerl
Register.
His pockets are full of money, whioh
he throws right and left, or, TO use French
expression, he throws it out of the window.
His hat and his shrt-collar betray him, II
nothing else does, and the Partisan shop
girl charges him thirty-three and third
per cent more than any other person,
with such amiable skill that every pur
chase he makes is bargain. Before the
revolution of '48. have been told that 1t
was a common expression in Paris that
the Americans and Russians, although III
many senses the antipodes of each other,
had everything their own way there; the
former now have The entire monopoly
The Russian Autocrat, IN the plenntude
of his power, and for his own wise pur-
poses, sees fit to keep all his subjects and
their money AT home; while Iankeedom
royes at will through the Boulevards, and
occupies all the best seats at the theatres
and the cafes. If such is the case now,
what will the state of things be ten years
hence? One soon gets lost in the specu-
lation, in endeavoring 10 look even that far
ahead

may serve to match the unfavorable state
ments which proceed from the land of
promise:
1t Is now forty days since we arrived
here, and thirty days since we have been
fairly at work at the digglns-and all that
| ever anticipated has been more than
realized. There are eight of US in COM
pany-ive besides George, Edward, and
myself All our diggings go into common
stock, and every Saturday night, after de-
ducting expenses, we divide. My share,
up to last Saturday night, amounted to
sixty seven ounces. Edward, who don't
send his gold home this time, has lent me
thirteen ounces to make ny remittance
amount to eighty ounces, which goes by
the same conveyance as this. to John,
whom | have desired 10 pay off the mort
gage on the farm, of $1,000; and what
there is left, to put in some safe place
nntll he hears from me again.
How happy | am, my dear parents, to
be able to relieve you of this great burden
so soon. Little did mother think, when
she took leave of me, in such great dis
tress, and | told her that ifshe would stop
her tears | would soon be able to clear
the farm, that should so soon redeem
my promise. | have bitterly regretted
ever since left Boston, that | did not
fall in with aunt Sarah proposition to go
with me. We had on hoard three ladies.
and every one Of US was anxious TO show
them every attention; and although we
had one hundred and thirty-four passen-
tboro
ing on the whole passage.
Very near our camp there is man and
his wife, son l 6 years old, and girl Ii
years old-they have all been working in
the same spot for nearly three months-
We invited them last Sunday to spend the
day with us, and the father and little girl
came. He told US he came here last sea-
son, but did not get upon the right track
until this season; said his firm determna-
ton when he came here was to get S5, 900
as soon as he could, and then return to
New Hampshire and settle down on his
farm; but says he has kept on until he has
now got $4,000 and over, and says he
means to return at the end of this season
at any rate, when he will have, he thinks,
$4,000. He says his wife and daughter
can wash out double the gold that he or
his son can. He and his son dig the earth
and carry it on the wheelbarrow to the
females, and they wash out the gold
They have little awning where they sit
washing, while their food is cooking be-
side them. Every body
that | have seen since l have been here,
seems anxious to make friends: you may
leave your tools and gold anywhere, and
nobody will touch them.
There Is lady at Benicia from Charles
town, who washes clothes. She employs
two or three Indian women to help her,
and she makes one hundred dollars every
day. Seamtresses and tailoresses get Just
as much, and it is strange more females
don't come here. boy ten years old
can wash out as much gold, after a little
practice, as man.
