"There is no man, however lhick-head-

der the knowledge that he was held up
in even SO copies of newspaper; there
is, however, no one but very thin skim
ned fool, who would, as the phrase goes,
stop paper because it Gid not chime in
with his notions, or because it attacked
him. Whatever foiblc may have, am
not guilty OF This foolery."

LIFE-SCULPTURE.

Chisel in hand, stood sculptor-boy,
With his marble block before him;
And his face lit up with smile of joy,
As an angel-dream passed DER him.
He carved the dream, on that shapeless stone,
With many sharp incision:
With Heavens own light, the sculptor shone;
He had caught that angel-vision.
Sculptors Of life, are we, as we stand
With cur souls, uncarved, before us,
Waiting the hour, when at Gods command,
Our life-dream shall pass DER Us.
If we carve it then, on the yielding stone,
With many a sharp incision,
Its Heavenly beauty shall be our own,
Our loves, that angel-vision.

A New ORLEANS MAzzARoNi.--We
were informed yesterday, Of a case of
robbery, by a burglar, who would CON-
pare favorably with the celebrated MAJ
zaroni in gallantry and daring. A mar
ried couple residing IN the suburbs Of
this municipality, of whom both were
young and one beautiful had retired to
their connubial couch at their usual
hour; the gentleman as usual, deposl,ing
his gold watch, and the lady her diamond
ear rings, under their respective pillows.
They slept quietly and undisturbed until
morning, when, awaking, the lady remar-
ked-
MY dear, you kissed me in the mid
die of the night
No did not protested the worse
half.
Il slept quietly all night; too soundly
to think of such thing
oh, fudge!' exclaimed the husband,
lifting up the pillow to look for his re-
peater. Great was his horror to find it
was gone. This reminded the wife to
look under her pillow for her diamond
ear rings, and still greater was her hor-
ror to find the highly-prizej last birth
days present of her dear husband mis-
sing. They jumped out Of bed, and in
sti,uted thorough search for these val
tables, but, to their great sorrow, were
not only unable to find them, but discov-
cred that nearly every other valuable ar
ticle in the room had been stolen by
some desperate burglar who had entered
the room through the window. They
both began lamenling, in terms of deep
grief, their respective losses; when sud-
denly the lady exclaimed, 'Oh! it was
the horrible villain kissed me- and then
fell almost into Mysteries at the dreadful
thought. The scoundrel,' exclaimed
the now thoroughly aroused husband; he
might have taken my watch, my dia-
mond breast pin, my silver candlesticks
and walters, my silver mounted pistols,
and everything, but TO turn around and
kiss my wife, while reposing in my arms
that is coming too strong a game en-
tirely.'--N. D. Delta.

Ten culture i'm south Carolina.

:
DR., Junius Smith, of Greenville, s.
Carolina, in letter dated May LIST, speaks
of his experiments, in growing tea in
this country, as highly successful. The
plant maintains its original physiology
and follows Its Chinese paternity, putting
out its foliage at the same period that it
does in China. All DR.. Smiths plants
have taken roots, the buds began to de-
velope leaves about the 20lh of April,
though the Spring has been backward,
and he could at this time collect sufficien,
quantity of leaves to make first rate tea
He says the leaves are most tender and
! delicate, and he can now understand why
it is that we cannot obtain the first quail
ty of tea from China. The first growth
of the leaf is so delicate that it is quite
impossible to divest it of humidity by
firing or roasting TO sustain so long a
voyage, besides the almost certainty of
utterly destroying It's rich and precious
aroma. When the tea is cultivated here,
this process OF roasting may be dispen-
sed with. With variety Of soil, with a.
bundant of cheap land and facilities of
transportation, DR.. s. thinks that if we
do not cultivate our own lea, we ought
to be tributary to those who call us bar
barians. Every farmer, certainly in the
Middle and Southern States, may grow
his own tea in his own garden, without
the slightest interference with his ordina-
ry agricultural pursuits. We think now
that ii is demonstrated that tea will grow
here, some of our agricultural societies
should offer premiums for the first and
best supply of tea grown upon Ameri
can soil.

The UPPER REeIoNs OF THE ArMos-
PHERE.-Mr. j. Wise, the aronaut, has
recently published a work. entitled "His-
tory and Practice of Eronautics," from
which the Philadelphia Inquirer derives
the following interesting facts:
sin one place he makes us acquainted
with the still quiet Of the heavens, thus:
A bee was let off, lat 5000 feet,) which
few away. making humming noise
At the altitude of 1900 feet, great
lime, was liberated, which flew away
directly. but soon feeling itself abandon
ed in the midst Of ali unknown ocean, it
returned and settled on the stays Of the
balloon. then mastering fresh courage, it
took second flight, and dashed down
ward to the earth, describing a tortuous,
yet perpendicular track. A pigeon, let
off under similar circumstances, afford
ed more curious spectacle. Placed on
the edge of the car, it rested awhile,
measured, as il were, the breadth OF that
UNEMPLOYED sea, which it designed to
traverse, now. launching into the abyss,
itfuttered irregularly, and seemed at fret
to try its wings on the thin element,
till, after few strokes, it gained more
confidence, and, whirling in large circles,
or spirals, like the bird OF prey, it pre-
cipitated itself into the extended mass of
clouds, where it was lost from sight. In
one of his ascents, he held distinct
conversation in the cloud with Mr.. Pau
lin, who assembled with another balloon
about the same time"

"A few days ago, ] Glanced to stumble
into an auction sale of damaged dry
goods, where the bidding was spirited,
and the large crowds of males and fe-
males were yieing with each other in
their offers, when pair of blankets were
put up, and dozen bids were raised for
them. The puzzled auctioneer. howev-

when ere be could say 'sgoing,' male
voice cried out dollar fifty from the OPP

elbowing her way through the dense
mass of females, who were separated
from the males by long counter, upon
which the glib tongued func,ionary walk
ed 10 and fro with the goods.
Turning 10 the other side, he COM

IMAGINARY HYDRoPHoBIA.-In mem
OR of a learned professor is found recor-
ded strange case of imaginary hydro
phobia. A Lucchese peasant, shooting
sparrows, saw his dog attacked by a
strange and ferocious mastiff. He tried
to separate the animals, and received
bite from his own dog, which instantly
ran off through the fields. The wound
was healed in few days, but the dog
was not found, and the peasant after a
few days began 10 feel symptoms of a
nervous agitation. He conceived that
the dog, from disappearing, was mad;
and within day or two after this idea
struck him, he began to feel symptoms
of hydrophobia. They grew hourly
more violent; he raved, and had all the
evidence of this most violent distemper.
As he laid with the door open to let in tie
last air that he was 10 breathe, he heard
his dog bark. The animal ran up to his
bed side and frollcked about the ROOM
1t was clear that he, al least, was in per-
feet health. The peasants mind was
relieved Instantly; he got up with renew
ed strength, dressed himself, plunged his
head into basin of water, and thus re-
freshed, walked into the room to the as
constituent of his family. 1t is not i'm
probable that many attacks of disease
SO strongly dependent on the imagination
might equally be cured by ascertaining
the state Of the animal by which the bite
was given.
