THE RUNAWAY SLAVE,

Somewhere in the good State of Penn
sylvania, aud in the County Of Chester,
there lived a Quaker gentleman whom
W. shall designate by the name Of job,
and his spouse by the name CT Deborah
They were good livers in the fullest sense
OF the word, being blessed with an album
dance of the good things Of this life.
Everything around them seemed COM
Portable and prosperous, and to crown
their blessings they had an only daugh-
ter, whose name was Miriam. She was
a healthy and Luxom lass, and had about
l;er that air Of! contentment and neatncss
hy which the Quaberess is DISTINGUISHED.
On meeting days the plain family car
riage would be brought OFT, with the
sleek, weel-fed and soberlooking family
horse then came out Job with his round
breasted coat of snuff color lin which no
indigo had been used, for that article is
said to be manufactured by slaves and
with low-crowned and broad br immcd
bat, then came Deborah in her plain
tawn colored silk bonnet and dress Of the
same color; then came Miriam, rosy,

Better Laugh than Cry.

SO say We. There's no use in rubbing
one's eyes and blubbering over all the
Ills that flesh is heir to. The best way
is to stand up to the rack, and take the
good things and the evil as they come
along, without repining; always cheering
yourself with that philosophic excla4na.
ton, "better luck next time"
Is dame Fortune as sly as a weasell
Tell her TO 60 10 Jericho, and laugh in her
face. The happiest fellow we ever saw,
worked hard and slept upon plank, and
hadn't shilling in his pocket, nor even
a coat upon his back.
Do you find disappointment lurking
in many prizel Then throw it away,
and laugh at your own folly in pursuing
it.
Does fame elude your graspl Then
laugh at the fools that are so often her
favorites.-She is ofno consequence, and
never buttered piece of bread, Or fur
nlshed man suit of clothes.
| Is your heart broken by some maiden
then thank your stars that you escaped
with your neck, and make the wellin
ring with hearty laugh. 1t lessons the
weight OF ones heart amazingly.
Take our advice under all circun-
stances, "laugh dull care away" Don't
be in a hurry to get cut of the world
it's very good world considering tie
creatures that inhabit it, and is about as
full Of fun as it can I'p.--You never saw
man cut his throat with a broad grin
on his face; it's a grand preventive If
suicide. There is philosophy and good
sense, too, in laughing-it shovsa clear
conscience, and sincere gratitude for
the things of life, and clevatts us above
the brute creation. SO here goes for
humor, and We put i'll for our share while
the ball is rolling.

The coolest precision cannot go
abroad without encountering inexplica-
bic influences. One man fastens an eye
on him, and the graves of the memory
render up their dead; the secrets that
make him wretchcd either to keep or
to bctray, must be yielded, another,
and he cannot speak, and the bones Of
his body seem to lose their cartiia es;
the entrance ofa friend adds grace, bold
ness, and eloquence to him; and there
are persons, he cannot choose but re-
member, who gave transcendant ex-
pansion to his thought--and kindled an
other life in his bosom. What isso ex-
cellent as strict relations of ami,y, when
they spring from this deep root!

brace an aggregate area so near one million
two hundred thousand square miles that this
aggregate area may be adopted without

comprising one million eigh, hundred thous.

may be assumed at "a, 000, 900, o, twenty to

would give an aggregate of siriy millions
