Public Life-Lesson to Young Men.

The distinguished Virginia statesman, Hon. John
Minor Bolts member of the Constitutional Con-
yenlion of his native State and the floor Of that
body, lately made the following just remarks on the
emptiness Of political preerment. The passages are
the best we have from the speeches of the
eloquent and fearless Bolts:
Public life has lost its charms for me- and there
IS but one consideration that induced me to occdpy
the position which do at present before the people
OF this district. Why should man desire public
life? can say with truth, that never have spent
day in public life that did not pay dearIy-deGrIy
for itnot only by my labor and my anxiety TO serve
my constituents and my country but from the depri-
walton of the peace and tranquility that the attr

lLaughter.l No sir, that is not my nature And
then when you come to consider not only what
public pays for mis- station by cares and ankle
ties and the jealousies and preiudices the envy eal
ousy, hatred, malice and all uncharitableneSs to
which he is exposed, no man who has had the expe-
renee in public life that | have had, can without
vtiated taste, in my opinion have any strong desire
for It. And what does he gain by it? Are the most
faithful the most wise and the most vrtuous OF pub
lie men, the men who generally receive the rewards
OF their virtue and fidelity? Look yonder to
Boston and there you will witness an occurrence
which, in point If gratitude has fallen to the lot of
more than distinguished public man.

Why he Wore a Wig.

Not long since, a thoroughbred Yankee arrived
at one OF our hotels, and excited considerable atten
ton by his inquisitiye manner. Among the things
which appeared TO him as cut of the ordinary course
he observed that fine looking young man OF twenty
wore wig Why was it: How did he lose his
hair so young!' were questions the Yankee would
fan have heard answered. AT last his curiosity be-
came strong, that he resolved apply for infor

The Yankee twisted himself into all sorts of

SAMUEL BROWN.
II was many and many year ago,
In dwelling down in town,
That fellow there lived whom you may know
By the of Samuel Brown;
And this fellow he lived with o-aer thought
Than TO our house to come down.
Twas a child and he was a child
In that dwelling down in town,
But we loved with love that more than love,
and my Samuel Brown
With love that the ladies coveted,
Me and Samuel Brown.
And this was the reason that long ago,
To that dwelling down in town,
a girl out of her carriage, counting
My beautiful Samuel Brown;
So that her high bred kinsman came
And bore away Samuel Brown,
And shut him up in dwelling house,
In street quite up in town.
The ladies, not half happy up there
Went envying and Brown
Yes that W as the reason, las all men know,
In this dwelling down in town.
That the girl came of the carriage by night
Coqueng and getting my Samuel Brown.
But our love is more artful by far than the love
OF those who older than we
OF many far wiser than
20 And neither the girls that living above,
Nor the girls that down i'm town.
Can discover my soul from the
OF the beautiful Samuel Brown
For the shines without bringing me lines
From my beautiful Samuel Brown;
And the night is never dark, but | sit in the park
With my beautiful Samuel Brown;
And often by day, walk down in Broadway,
With my darling, my darling, my life and my stay,
To our dwelling down in town,
TO our house in the street down town.
