Few greater misforiuBes can happen
10 man--especialIy an irritable, sensi-
tive man--than 10 have an odious, or
mirth-provoking nickname fastened up
on him early in life. II is, as writer
remarks, '.ihe heaviest stone that the
devil can throw at a man." and is the
more CALLING for the very reason that i,
is SO often meaningless, and battles all
attempts at reply. Nature, i, is said,
has armed every species of creature
with some weapon TO defend itself, and
TO teaze others; to the lowest she has
given the use OF nicknames. 1t is Curl
Gus to note the petty and insignificant
circumstances from which a man will
acquire ludicrous nickname, that will
stick TO him like burr through life
We once knew rather dull boy at
school, who, being asked by the peda-
gogue,-"Who destroyed Carihager'
replied, 'Scorpio Africanus," whence
he was nicknamcd by the other boys,
sold .Scorp"-a title which he retains
to this day. Some years ago, in our
readings, we met with laughable story
of village baker, who got the name OF
Iiddy-doR, he could not tell how. He
was ieazed and worried by it till il near
ly drove him crazy. The boys halloed
after him in The streets, and poked their
faces into his shop windows; the parrots
echoed the name. as he passed their ca
ges; and even the soldiers took it up, TOR
the place was a military station. and
marched TO parade, beating time with
their feet, and singing 7iddy-doH, Iid-
dy-doH, as they passed by his door,
He flew out upon them at the sound
with inextinguishable fury, and was
knocked down and rolled in the kennel,
and got up in an agony of rage and
shame, his white clothes drabbled and
bespattered with mud. A respectable
and friendly gentleman, in the neighbor-
hood. who pitied his weakness, called
him into his house day, and remon-
stra,ed with him on the subject. He
advised. him TO take no notice of his per-
sccutors. The thing was too contempt.
ible TO worry ones self about.
"What," said he, docs It signify
Suppose they ito call you. Tfddy-doH I?
What harm--"
"IHere-there L. is again :" burst
forth the inluriated baker; "you'oe cali
ed me. so yourseLf! You called me in
on purpose to insult me - And saying
this, he vented his rage and Indignation
in torrent Of abusive epishets, and dar.
ted out OF the house in perfect tempest

Curran's Ingenuity.

A farmer, attending fair with hun
dred pounds il his pocket, took the pre-
caution of depositing it in the hands OF
the landlord oflhe public house at which
he stopped. Having occasion for il
shortly afterwards he. rssorted to mine
host for the bailmeat, but the landlord,
too deep for the country man, wondered
what hundred was meant, and was quite
sure no such sum had ever been lodged
in his hands by the astonished rustic
After Intellectual appeals to the recollec-
tion, and finally to the honor of Bardolph,
the farmer applied to Curran for advice.
"Have patience, my friend,' said the
counsel, "speak 10 the landlord civilly,
and tell him you are convinced you
must have left your money with some
other person. Takea friend With you,
and lodge with him another hundred in
presence of your friend, and then come
to me-" We must Imagine and not CON-
NIT TO paper, the vociferations of the
honest dupe, at such advice; however,
moved by the rhetoric or authority OF
the worthy counsel, he followed it, and
returned TO his legal friend. sand now,
,sir, / don'tsee as I'm 70 be better off for
this, if | get my second hundred again;
out how is that to be done?" $50 and
ask him for it when alone," said the
counsel. SAY, sir, but asking won't do,
Ize afraid, without my witness at any
rate" "Never mind, take my ADVICE
said the counsel, ''do as bid you, and
return to me-" The farmer returned
with his hundred; glad at any rate to
find that safe again in his possession
"Now, sir, | suppose, | must be content,
but | don't see as I'm much better off"
"Well, them" said the counsel, snow
take your friend with you. and ask the
landlord for the hundred pounds your
friend saw you leave with him." We
need not add, that the willy landlord
found that he had been taken off his
guard, while our honest friend returned
to thank his counsel exnltingly, with
both hundreds in his pocket.

A SURE ENOUGH UNION MoyE.-Dr.
Collins, of Georgia, the owner Of the
slave Shadrach, who was rescued from
the officers of the law, in Boston, and is
now free barber in Boston, writes on
the subject Of the Union in the following
impressive terms. They are the more
remarkable because great many others
have pronounced the Union not longer
worth having, for the reason that Shad-
rach was carried off:
Sand although would not follow the
example of the great Carlhagcnian Cen
eral. by swearing my children to eternal
war upon the opponents Of the Govern
ment, yet so important and so sacred do
lconsider the cause Of the Union, that
should it ever be my fortune TO present
a son at the altar of any church for It's
Christian rites, / should desire the font
to be filed with the mixed waters from
the four quarters Of the Republic. that
ne might be baptized truly, in the ele-
ments of the Union, so that in all after
life, the association most deeply impress
ed upon his mind should be the Union of
this country with the worship Of God"
