ExaggefafF0n,

II there be any one mannerism that is univer-
sal among mankind, it is that Of coioring too
highly the things we describe We cannot be
content with simple relation Of truth-we must
ezaggerate, We must have ga little too much red
IN the brush Who ever heard Of dark night
that was not '.pitch dark ?'-of stout man that
was not ''as strong as horse or of a mirv
road that was not up to the knee" We would
walk fifty miles foot to sec that man who
never caricatures the subject on which he speaks.
But where is such man to be found? From
rosy morn TO dewy eve,' in our conversation
We are constantly outraging the truth If some
what wakeful in the night, ':we have scarcely
had wink of Sleep" if our sleeves get little
damp IN shower, we are ''as wet as If dragged
through q brook" if breeze blow NY while we
are IN the 'chops of the channel, the waves are
sure to "run mountains high" and if man
grow rick, we all say that che rolls in money!
No later than yesterday, friend, who would
shrink from wilful misrepresentation, told US
hastily, as he passed, that the newspaper had
nothing in it but advertisements

FaIroraage to Printers.

1t is stated that the day after General Jack
sons Inauguration, twenty four editors of news
papers, marched in procession to the President
ito get their pay Poor old man. he was to be
pitied. Among them was Noah, of the Advo-
cate, and Hill of the Patriot. Noah, was a man
of ease, and to appearance, well fed. Hill was
lean and-a very Cassius. Noah, a cunning
shrewd fellow, stopped the procession and pro-
posed different order. Here p said he .Hiu
you are the ugliest of the clan, and of hungry
aspect enough, am fat and plump. You will
lead Us on, and soon as the old President
sees this picture Of starvation; he win surrender
at once" Well it worked like q charm. They
entered the palace in this order; the President
was sent for and entered the room. He started
back-Good God! gentleman, take all you want. -
The old hero, though his nerves never forsook
hin in battle, could not stand this but srrren-
dered at once, and twenty three Of twenty four
obtained at once, and the twenty fourth; for be-
ing left out, let out the whole story.

Good.

The editor of the Bunkum Flag !Stq6, heard
Jenny Lind sing during her first series of con-
certs in New York, and thus speaks of the fact:
"We hare heard the celebrated Swedish cocka-
trice. We Travelled some miles free ticket and
waited Barnum. Sez he, eve give no tickets
to the outside press" Sez we, with an edito-
rial leader in our eye,) ''we'u buy one" Sez he,
shaking our hand, that's right We bought
q walking ticket, and took a stand, away out in
the Bay of New York. We heard her 4 friend
Of ours, when she gotup in a-6-a6 said, ''cut my
straps and let me goup!" We said, ..don't ex-
pose yourself" Her voice is not square, it is Of
an oval texture. 1t viii suit the ear of Bunkum
When she got up in the sastenuto we stood agash;
but when she triedit on with the Rauto, the
o6figato, and sunk down TO the crupper-nofes,
we knocked under. She has no merit as an ar
tist, but as a singer, she is good! That's our
opinion The price of good seats is six dollars,
but the ''0utside Press can get walking tickets
at one dollar"

Tg.e President and his Coach..,.,,

Hon. I. Corwin tells the following story of
the present incumbent of the White House:
President Fillmore, upon his elevation 70 the
Presidential Chair, was obliged, in conformity
with the dignities of his new station to purchases
a carriage and horses-the horses were obtain
ed-and Mr. Preston, of South Carolina, offered
TO dispose OF his fine coach, which was accord
DINGHY sent to the new President for his inspec-
ton.
Irish Jenny, the White House Coachman.
was on hand whea Mr. Fillmore called at the
stable to inspect it, and wishing an opinion from
Jenny, as to the fitness Of the coach, asked if
he thought it fine enough
"och, it's good coach, your honor" said
Jenny.
& But is it good enough, Jenny" said the
President.
Jenny, with doubtful scratch of the head,
answered again, in the same manner; when MIR.
Fillmore, wanting positive answer said:
Jenny, Go you think second hand carriage
would do for a President?"
''Och, said Jenny, remember your honor:
second hand President and sure it's lust right

The Flozver-Girs of wyoming

lnghan, the Painter has left after him a por-
trait OF the Flower-Girl of Wyoming, which is
regarded fy connoisseurs as work Of art of
great merit. Connected with this picture Of the
Flower-Girl, is the following romantic, but real
ly authentic story:
Many years ago gentleman from England
was travelling ut his leisure, in the coaches OF
the United States mail, down the charming val
ley OF wyoming, and on a certain occasion chan
ced to tarry for a short time in the village of
that name. 1t was mid summer. and while en-
joying his after-dinner cigar on the portico of
the tavern, young girl suddenly made her ap-
pearance, offered for sale, in the innocence of
her heart, basket of fresh flowers. Hs pur-
chased handsome bouquet, and when the
coach was ready, continued his journey. Weeks
had passed on, but wherever he wandered he
was continually haunted by the surprising love
illness Of the unknown flower-girl of Wyoming.
and he soon found himself once more q soiour-
ner In the village inn. He had by this time be-
come SO deeply interested In the stranger girl
that he had made many inquiries about her con-
dition, and found that she was the only daugh-
ter of poor buthighly respectable parents. With
these parents he finally became acquainted, and
IN the process OF time obtained perniss ion to
place the daughter at one of the principal SEM
inaries in the country. While she was storirg
her mind with knowledge, her -benefactor was
living in England. Time passed on he retur-
ned to Wyoming, found the rustic flower-girl an
accomplished lady, offered her his haud in mar
riage, was accepted and married. and after set
ting property on his American parents, crossed
the Atlantic with his bride, and settled in one OF
the pleasant wales of England, where he now
lives IN the enjoyment of every thing which
wealth and education can afford. The picture
IN question is an actual portrait, and was taken
from sketch which the artist painted on the
very day the English stranger purchased bo-
quet of the Flower-Girl of Wyoming

Never Get AlgrY,

1t does no good. Some sins have a seeming
compensation or apology, present qualification
Of some sort; but anger has none. a man feels
no better for it. It is really a torment; and
when the storm of passion has cleared away
It leaves one to see that he has been a fool: and
he has made himself fool in the eyes Of others
too. Who thinks well Of en- iH-natur66 man,
who has to be approached IN the most guarded
and cautious way? Who wishes him for neigh
Dor, or partner in business? He keeps all a.
bout him in the same state of mind as If they
were living next TO hornets nest or & rabid
animal. And as TO prosperits in business, one
gets along no better for getting angry. What
If businesses perpleIing, and everything ssgoes
by contrariesn-wiu fit of passion make the
winds more prcpitious, the grounds more pro-
ductive, the markets more favourable! VIII
bad temper draw customers, pay notes, and
make creditors better natured? An angry man
adds nothing to the welfare of society. Since
then, anger is useless, needless, uisgraceful,
without the least apology, and found only ..in
the bosom of fools' why should it be INDUCED
at all l.
