Many pleasant anecdotes have been told of the
bench and the bar Of Vermont. The following
is ~atleast authentic, and, to the best of our knowl-
edge, was never before in print. Some dozen or
fifteen years ago, Judge P, now a sena.
tor of the United States, presided at a session of
the supreme court in the county of Grand Isle,
assisted by Hon. Stephen Royce, the present
chief justice of Vermont. 1t happened that the
sheriff, who was newly elected to his Office, was
wholly unacquainted with his duty as 'crier, and
when called upon to open the court proceeded
the most awkward and laundering manner i'm
To aid him in his initiation as usher,
predecessor in the shsrifalty had kindly Nrn-
ished him with a manuscript form, in which, al.
Ter the words Hear ye,' the words three tines
were written in parenthesis, to indicate to the
reader that the invocation should be thrice re.
Peated. The sheriff, with the paper in his hand,
read of in a loud voice, Hear ye, three times
when, perceiving the smiles Of the court, and
suspecting some mistake, he began again, repeat
ing the same words twice or thrice, but coming,
with each attempt to q dead halt at the end of
'thIee times" At last, with a desperate effort,
though a court were a thing to he opened with
crow-bar, the poor crier literally forced a pas
sage through the remainder of his ritual. and sat
down, looking very red in the face, amid the
of the audience.

from the right knee, besides painful ulcers on
other parts of her person, which has bafied

TuE FEMALE TEMrER.--We like to see
woman of spirit and life; for dull, supine pro-
sy woman, is poor affair indeed. And We
have no particular objection to seeing the sparks
fly occasionally when something really stirring
occurs. We like to see her joyful and lively;
and if she has little spice Of waggery, we can
put up with it very well; nay, We like it all the
better But cross, sour temper, we have no
good opinion Of; for a woman who can never
look pleasant but is always fretting and scolding,
will make an unhappy home for all within her
house. Aud we had as lief undertake to live in
a barrel Of vinegar in thunder storm, as 10 live
in house with such woman. Solomon was
right when he said--"It Is better to live in the
corner Of house top, than to dwell in wide
house with brawling woman" Let woman
wear sunshine on her countenance, and il will
drive the dark clouds from her husbands face
and Joy win thrill thro' the hearts her children.
Let woman's words be soothing and kind and
every thing is happy around her. Her influence

temper, and all will strive 10 see who can be

Oh, lovely rose!
The sweetest aowerearth knows
Is the Rose Of Alabama
One pleasant, balry nightin June,
WHEN swung, in silyery clouds, the moon,
My heart awoke loves vesper tune,
For Rose Of Alabama!
She caughtthe strain, and to the bower,
Inpala4 by love and music's power,
Sole Ike an angel at that hour,
The Rose of Alabama!
Beside me there her form she placed,
lily arm stole gently round herwaist,
Ind earth seemed with new beauty graced,
by Rose Of Alabama!
The breeze and s.reamlet ceased their tone;
Like winged gems the fre-fes shone;
The flowers gazel envious on my own
Sweet Rose Of Alabama!
IT'S vain our mutual VOWS to tell
One strain upon my plaintive shell,
Aud then babe sad farewell

Long years have passed by fortune driven

But, oh loves ties arc not yet riven
From Rose Of Alabama!
Hope smiles upon my pilgrim way,
Ere long ny feet shall homewasd stray,
And time bring round my snuptial day
With Rose of Alabama!
Then, shrine.like, in my native land,
Loves Eden! shall my cottage stand,
With happiness on every hand!

QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUNG LADIES.

A correspondent wants to kno how it is that
delicate young ladies, too delicate to run up and
do" n stairs in their own houses, are able to
dance down the strongest man in ballroom
IT'S phenomena of nature, of which no one
seems capable OF giving an explanation, What
young girl ever refused a handsome partner at
five o'clock in the morning, on the score of be-
ing $50 tired 2" The correspondent no applies
to US in this extremity, is respectfully informed,
we don't know. Young ladies are queer COM
modities, and are not to be subjected to the rules
of common sense. All that we can say about
them, is that they are very delicate at times,
and at other times, not so much So They very
often are afflicted with i'll health in the morning,
and i'll the evening go out to parties and balls
with thin dresses and thin shoes All we can
say to our correspondent is, seek not to know
what you may not know. If you are DESTROYS OF
learning many mysteries about the character OF
young ladies which now seem paraaoxical, en-
gage one Of them for a wife. After the happy
knot is tied, she will doubtless enlighten YOU on
many subjects, which till then must remain
mighty unsartin."

TO 'TEEE GIRLS.

You are all in want of husbands as soon as Won
can get suitable ones, and that is all right and
perfectly natural. But we think, CONTRARY to the
old lady's opinion, } that bad husband is worse
than none. In choosing observe The following
rules: Never marry fellow who is ashamed to
carry small bundle; who lies in bed till break
fast, and until his father has opened his shop, store
or office and swept it ont who frequents taverns,
bowling saloons, prize fights &c; who owes his
tailor, shoemaker, washer woman, jeweller, bar
Der, printer and landlady, and never pays his debts
who is always talking about his acquaintance
y cqndemning them, whose tongue is always lun-
ming about nonsense, who thinks he is the greatest
man in the neghbo1hood, and yet who every one
despises and shuDs. We say never marry a fell
low with all or any of these qualifications he will
be sure to treat you badly or desert you after the
honey moon.
