THE CORPORALss LESSON.

During the American revolution, an officer,
not habted in military costume, was passing
by where small company of soldiers We're at
work making some repairs on a small redoubt.
The commander of little squad was giving
orders to those who were under him relative to
stick of timber which they were endeavorine
to raise to the top of the works. The timber
went up hard, = on that account the voice of the
little great man was often heard in his regular
vociferatons of "heave away! there she goes
heave no p SC.
The officer, before spoken of, stopped his
horse when he arrived at the place, and seeing
The timber sometimes scarcely moved, asked the
commander why he did not take hold and rem
der little aid. The latter appeared to be
somewhat astonished, and turning to the officer
with the ponp of an Emperor, said:
"Sir, am Corporate
"You are not though, are you ~ said the of.
fcer, II was not aware of it." And taking off
his hat and bowling, II ask your pardon, Mr.
Corporal"
Upon this he dismounted his elegant steed
flung the bride over post, and lifted till the
sweat stood in drops on his forehead. When
the timber was elevated to its proper station he
turned to the man clothed in brief authority
"Mr. Corporal Commander" said he, 'when
yon have another such a Job and have not men
enough, send for your Commander-in- Chief, and
will come and help you second time.
The Corporal was thunder struck. It was

MISCELLANEOUS.
ssSMALL SWEET CoURTEsIEs OF
LEFE.H
Eatraet from Letter Of the late 1IyiE.iam Writ t
his daughter

has daughter.
81 want to tell you secret. The way to
make yourself pleasing to others; is to show that
you care for them. The whole world is like the
miller at Mansfield, who cared for uobody-
no, not he,-because nobody cared for him.
And the whole world will serve you so, if you
give them the same cause. Let every one,
therefore see that you care for them, by show
lug them, what Serne SO happily calls, the
small sweet courtesies of life, Those courtesies in
which there are no parade Whose voice is too
still 10 tease aud which manifest themselves by
tender and ahectionate looks, and little kind
acts OF attention, giving others the preference
in every little enjoyment at the table, in the
field, walking, sitting or standing This is the
spirit that gives to your time OF life, and to your
sex, its sweetest charm. Ii constitutes the sum
Total of all the witchcraft of woman. Let the
world see that your first care is for yourself, and
you will spread the solitude of the Upas tree
around yoa, in the same way, by the emanaton
OF poison which kills all the juices of affection
in its neighborhood. Such a girl may be adj
mired for understanding and accomplishments,
but she will never be beloved.
The seeds OF love can never grow but under
the warm and genial influence OF kind feelings
and afectionate manners. Vivacity goes a
great way in young persons. 1t calls attention
to her who displays it; and if it then be found
with generous sensiblity, its execution is il
resstable.
On the contrary if it be foand in alliance with
cold, naughty, selfish heart, it produces no
further effect, except an adverse one. Attend
to this, my daughter. 1t flows from heart
that feels for you all the anxiety parent can
feel, and not without the hope W hich constitutes
the parents highest happiness. May God pro-
tect and bless you. Your afeetionate father,

~ Mrs. Frances D Gage, in a letter to the
Ohio State Journal, touches point of manners
which all have had occasion to consider at one
time or another, we doubt not She says:
GTwo years ago, I made a journey TO New
England, accompanied by my husband, and
also my father-in-law, an old man Of four,score-
years, have often seen that good cid man offer
his seat to some hale woman OF half or less than
half his age, and seen her accept it, asst it We're
right, without even passing notice of his
to her kindness aud attention. Once, and only
once, lady of queenly grace and beauty sprang
from her seat as we entered, and, with voice
that was musical in its very tone, said, father
take this chair How my heart sprane to meet
her angel goodness. Such has ever been our
idea OF a lady--whieh ssynonomous with tue
woman"

MATHEMATICS OF BEEs.-The warmest adj

will never, presume, contend that the young

months after they are born, and Immediately con-

gained their mathematical knowledge as we gain
ours, and in three months time outstrip MIR.
Maclaurn in mathematics as they did in making
honey, 1t would take a senior wraneler at Cam
