tuie circumstances, was put ont as an appren-
ttice TO 4 mechanic For some timehe was the
Youngest apprentice. and Of course had to go
upon errands for the apprentices, and not un-
frequently to procure for them ardent spirits,
of which all bui himself pArtook, hecause.'as as
they said, il did them good. He however used
none: and in consequence OF it, was often the
/ subject of much rldicule from the older ap-
prentices; because. as they said, he had not suf-
fieient manhood to drink rum. And as, they
/ were reveIling over their poison. he, under
/ their insults and cruelty, often retired and vent
ed his grief In tears. But now every one o.
1the older apprentices, we are informed, Is
drunkard. Or in aidrunkards grave; and thls
i Youngest apprentice, at WHOM they used Z
seoff' IS sober and respectable, and Is worth
4 hundred thousand dollars. In hisemploymen
Iare about one hundred men, who do not us'

the costly treasure, asked the little fellow What
he should give him for it.

@No," replied the gentleman, 'you must not

DRUNKARp,s LAND.-It is supposed to
have been discovered in early ages tor-lt
was visited by Noah soon after the. Hood.
1t is situated quite on the opposite side OF
the hemisphere to the beautiful continent
of Sobriety, although there is nova smooth
roadeunitinc the two. The road was made
by very respectable man named Mode a.
tim. who wasynot aware of'what he was
doing, until he found himself within the
capital of Drunkard's Land, large and
populous city named Brandyburg, situated
in the heart of. the country, and regarded
as its principal strong hold. You arrive at
Drunkard's Land by embracing at natural
appetite, thriving town on the Coast Of
Health; You then cross the Moderate
Ocean, round Tipping Point, pass Cape
Decency, and sailing through Riot Bay
arrive within the sight of the continent.-
The first land that meets your view is tina
ofthe Convivial Mountains,a long and lofty
chain Of hills encirclins the entire terrific
nv, and at the base Of which you land. l
is bounded on the north by Moderate
Ocean, already mentioed; on The east By
1rreligion; on the west by Brutality, and OF
4 the south by BottomlessPit. The country
from'its extreme northern boundary, all tn
way to the Pit. which constitutes its south
ern limits, is one regular declivity,e prett
rapid all the way, but remarkably abrup
as itnears the bottom. The whole life ofth
| inhabitants is occupied in, making thei
way from. the topsof this slope to the base
| this is accomplished generally in yer
short period, and each individual terminate
]. his brief existence by rolling or tumblln

HoSoR OH AGE.-There were once assem-
bled in Doctor Michael Schuppach's laborato-
ry, great many distinguished persons, some
to consult him, and some out of curiosity.
Among them were many French ladies and
gentlemen, and Russian prince, with his
daughter, whose singular beauty attracted gem

display his wit on the miraculous doctor; but
the latter, though not acquainted with the
French language, answered so cleverly, that
the Marquis had not the laugh on his 81 9
During the conversation, there entered an old
peasant, meanly dressed, with snow-white
beard, a neighbor Of Schuppaeh's. The doctor
directly turned away from his great company
to his old neighbor, and hearing that his wife
was i'll, set about preparing the medicine for
her, without paying much attention to his more
exalted guests, whose business he did moi
think so pressing The Marquis was now de
priyed of one subject of his wit and therefore
chose to turn his jokes against the old man
