The New THREE CENT PIEcE.-We
are indebted to a Boston friend for one of

Begin Right.

The following if not aeaC, is at least true-and is
worthy of attention, at this particular time when
many ''of 'em" rushing incontinently into the
holy bands of matrimony, to be lost "to u.s. for
ever.
''This little fable (said my Uncle) may, perhaps
be of service to poor devil, more willing than
wise,''
A certain man once married lady whose reputa-
ton for amiabty of disposition seriouly ques-
toned if not in reality seriously questionable
AT the wedding, every thing went off merriy, of
course; the party gay, the supper magniticent.the
whole affair had been eminently successful, and all
parties extremely delighted.
On retiring to his apartments the gentleman found
himself annoyed by the mewing and purring of
cat. .-
what is that?'' he exclaimed
Oh! nothing, my DEAR" replied the bride, 'but
my favorite cat, Pussita" snr ssrsr-
sob. Pussita!-I hate cats'' and with this he
most threw Pussita out of the second
story window.
"Well. If you haven't got tenper,''
+" Yes! my dear-you'd better believe it,
Every thing" continued my Uncle, "went on
well IN that establshment-even to warm dinner
on Sunday
Now it so happened that friend of the above
mentioned gentleman, who had some months before
committed the error'' of marrying San angel"
took occasion to enquire of him
''How it was, that with him, every thing went
merry the marriage bell,' while, on the contrary,
he (his riend had almost given up the idea of wear
ing pantaloons at all.
Whereupon he related TO him the story of Pussita
and the second story window sswithout said Uncle
"fuly impressing upon his mind the important moral
-thatitw necessary to begin right" Nevertheless,
there that in his eye when he started for home,
'sthat told of treason"
"Well" said his wife, 'you've come home at
last, have youafter keeping sitting up for you
and what's the matter-you haven't been drinking
haze you? you look very strange"
"Not in the least, my dear-but hate cats,
lovely.'
You do-do you-wel, Hike en,-that's all the
difference"
Hereupon the unfortunate husband made dash at
poor Tabby-who was quietly snoozing on the sofa
and rushed impetuously to the window.
g You hare been drinking. What are you going
to do, m0nster?'
s'Throw her out of the window!''
''You better try it'd like to see you do it-Pd
break every bone in your body-why don'tyou throw
her out?-I dare you to do it"
He put the cat softly down on the sofa, hung his
hat on peg in the entry, his manlness on an and
easy chair, and exclaimed
$50 in duckey darling, and win-I didn't begin
right"
81 rather think you didnt-you better take fresh
start-but donttry that game again. or you'll catch
it-and he went.
"Wrong from the bsginning!" said Uncle.

Free Trade.

The best and happest illustration Of absolute free
trade be found in any part of the world exists in these
United States. Time was when of these States i'm
posed taxes upon the productions of Others this was
mutual SO protection" But by the compact Of the Con-
stitution all such duties forever prohibited Lou
sana and Florida being afterwards annexed the system
of absolute free trade was extended them. The
nexatoH Of Texas wdened still farther the circle of free
dom; New Mexico and California still more; until at
length than half the population of the American
hemisphere is included under general system of abso-
ute free trade. OF the 81 States and half dozen
Territories embraced in this SYSTEM one can impose
upon the of any other. Trade is recip
rocay and absolutely Free Were the rest of the world
annexed to this Republic, free trade would be unyer
sal, and protection I" unknown and impossible Has
the system in operation here, e., the system of free
trade, the American system, (no the false one
which generally passes by that name) been successful!
Is approved admired and loved by the whole country

nountain Scenery.

Of all the sights that nature offers to the eye OF
mind of man, mountains have always stirred my
strongest feelings. have seen the ocean, when il
was turned up from the bottom by the tempest, and
like night with the conflict of the pillows
and the storm, that tore and scattered them in mist
and foam across the sky have seen the desert rise
around me; and calmly in the midst of thousands
uttering cries of horror and paralyzed with fear,
have contemplated the sandy pillars, coming like
the advance Of some gigantic city of conhagration,
flying across the wilderness, every column glowing
with intense heat, and every blast death; the sky
vaulted with gloom, the earth furnace. But with
me the mountain, in tempest or in calm the throne
of thunder, with the evening painting its dells
and declivites in color dipped in heaven has been
the source of the most absorbing sensation. There
stand magnitude, giving an instant impression of
power above man; grandeur, unnumbered; beauty
that the touch of time makes only the beautiful
use, exhaustless for the service of man. strength i'm
perishable as the globe; the monument of eternity
the truest earthly emblem of that everything,
irresistible majesty, by whom and from
whom all things were made! 7

INDIAN TREATIES CALIFoRNIA.-The Washington

they have dropped the old of stpuating for

few years for provisions farming stock schoohouses,

The district assigned these tribes will extend along
the lower foot hills of the Sierra Nevada for about fifty
miles, general course northwest by southeast and f-
miles in width, extending down some distance in
the plains valleys, in which there occasionally
strips of toerably good farming land. 1t is likewise
