Their feverish existence refuses rest, and they
fret themselves to death about matters with
which they have often no earthly concern. They
are spendthrifts in sympathy, which in them
has degenerated into an exquisite tendency to
pain. They are launched on sea Of trouble,
the shores Of which are perpetually extending
They are lf-stretched on q rack, the wheels Of
which are ever going round
The fundamental maxim of the fdgety is
whatever is, is wrong They win not allow
themselves to be happy, nor any body else.
They always assume themselves to be the most
aggrieved persons extant. Their grumbling is
incessant, and they operate as social poison
wherever they go. Their vanity and self-con-
ceit are usually accompanied by selfshness in
q very aggravated form, which only seems to
make their fdgets the more intolerable. You
viii generally observe that they are idle per-
sons; indeed, as general rule, it may be said,
that the fdgety classwant healthy occupations.

active pursuit, in which they could not have

But, we must make an allowance. Fidgets
are often caused by the state of the stomach,

be traced to an attack of indigestion. One of

diatribes have been uttered while laboring un-

disease He has "pitched into" some homo

blue pill. And 80 it is with many man, in
domestic and social life, whom we blame for
his snappish and disagreeable temper, but whose
stomach is the moral no less than the physical
barometer Of most men; and we can very often
judge Of tempers, conditions, and sympathies,
pretty accurately, according to its state. Let
us, therefore, be charitable to the fdgety, whose
stomachs, rather than their hearts, may be at
fault; and let US counsel them to mend them,

SToRY OF A LovER.-Rather a rich story has
been circulating at Paris respecting a wealthy
fnancier, whose name is not given in full, (thc
Baron de R----.) Deeply smitten with the
charms of a fair lady, who lives near the church
of Notre Dame de Loretto his golden eloquence
gained him the smiles of his idol. On New
Years day the lady received scented note,
with the Baron's seal, and a small box Of rose
wood. The envelop was opened eagerly q tiny
key fell out, and in the expectation of q set Of
pearls or diamond bracelets, the fair fingers Of
the lady opened the box, which displayed to
her view row Of chocolate bon-bons. To rush
to the window, and empty its contents into the
street, was Pd6d1e d'Rn moment. In the even
ing the amorous Baron called, dangling jewel
headed cane; lac entered the boudoir, where,
with an indignant frown, the offended lady sat,
scarcely deigning to notice her adorer. The
Baron started, demanded an explanation, and
was informed how his present had been re-
ceived that she had thrown his afreuses pdpd
lottes out of the window. do you know what
those a6re4scs pdpiottes cost ~ said the Baron,
quietly seating himself " Do you mean to in
suit met" retorted the lady; do you think |
counted them?" q You might have done SO,
was the reply, for there were thirty
Thirty SOUS" interrupted the lady. " Thirty
thousand francs" said the Baron, playing with
his watch-chain each bon-bon was wrapped
in a bank note" The fair lady tainted, md the
Baron is said to have enjoyed the scene ex-
cecdingly.

HAVANA.

The New York Sun contains the following;
but the Sun is perhaps excitable on the Havana
question, and its zeal, should be remembered
when we peruse its comments: .eaa
HENRY CLAY AT HAvANA-General Concha
has made a great deal to do about Mr.. Clay
since his arrival at Havana But it is easy to
see through the Spaniard's motive for his atten-
ton. In the course of the very first interview
General Concha took the opportunity to assure
Mr.. Clay that Spain had always been the friend
of the United States, md was very desirous that
the United States should always be friendly to
Spain. Concha also made inquiries of Mr., Clay
if he knew whether it was true that another
expedition was about to make q descent upon
the Island, as was rumored. At the same time
he pointed significantly to the Notifications Of
the harbor, and remarked that the Island was
well prepared for defence. Mr.. Clay strove to
remove his fears by assuring him that, so far as
he knetc, they were groundless.
s.The N. o. Bee says that one of the Western
Congressman, present at the interview, smiled
rather contemptuously when the purport of
Concha's remarks was interpreted to him, and
observed audibly enough, that strong as Cuba
was, any State in the Union, except Delaware,
and perhaps Rhode Island, could despatch force
enough to take her. The indiscreet comment,
however, escaped the ears of the translator, and
was therefore not repeated to the Captain Gen
eral otherwise the interview might have been
brought to an abrupt termination. Poor Concha,
the fears of an expedition haunt him like
spcctres If he feels the Island so well pro-
tected, and SO secure, why is he SO anxious to
get assurances that the |" filibusters" won't ap-
pear again? We doubt if his civilities and
,fawnings will protect him. Spain's treatment
of Cuba cannot pass unpunished. The day Of
reckoning draws near"
