HoLLEReA LITTLE LOUDER Every boz
dy has heard of the two men who slut
tered /; they met, one thought the other
was mocking and vice versa, so they
turned to and fogged each other. a
similar difficulty took place q few days
ago in one of the basement shops near
Faneuil Hall. A deaf man went down to
buy some niekknacks, and in that low
strain of voice peculiar to deaf persons,
says he - ~, -. M
Have you any new ciderP T
The proprietor of the cellar store saw
his customers lips moving, and supposed
he was saying something, so says ne,
Chs? ~-'t-.-- 5f.s-- s-.
The customer seeing his lips moving,
supposed he said yes Then he said
How do you sell it3' ~,
'Eh?' responded the shopman, getting
nearer the customer. EsE---,- ...-..-
'Holler a little louder says the custo-
mer, tapping his own ears, intimating he
was little hard of hearing. ~ ..-.-..
What's the matter with you" now
brawls the shopman. XXI
Who's fool? says the customer,
DO You callme foo-o-oOl p rOars the
shopman.
If you call me foo-o-ool,' yells the
customer, showing signs of fight, 'Ph
knock the fire out of you
Liar, eh p screams the shopman, and
he let slip clever sized cocoa nut at the
calabash of the customer-the customer
let drive pine appetite fight became
general and miscellaneous, and the way
peanuts, apples, cakes and lemons went
into coalition was wonderful to observe.
The muss' being noticed by the passing
crowd, they gathered about the doorway
at length some descended and the COM
batants were parted. After this friendly
melee, an explanation took place, and
both parties were mortified, but pleas
ed to learn that it was to- the defect
of their hearing organs and not from any
i'll intentions or disrespect for each other,
that they came to blows. The customer
bought two shillings worth of the dam
aged wares, and went on his way, advi-
sing the shopman to 'holler little loud
err when they traded again.

To YOUNG MEN-Don't rely. upon
friends, Do not rely upon the good name
of your ancestors. Thousands have spent
the prime of life in vain hopes of those
whom they called friends; and thousands
have starved because they have had rich
father. Rely upon the good name which
is made by your own exertions, and know
that better than the best friend you can
have is unquestionable determination,
united with decision of character. And
remember that without the blessing of
God you cannot truly prosper. In all thy
ways acknowledge Him, and he win di-
rect thy paths.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING Thousands Of
men breathe, move and lve-pass off the
stage of life, and are heard of no more.
Why? They did not partake of the good
in the world, and none were blessed by
them none could point to them as the
means of their redemption. Not a line
they wrote, not word they spoke, could
be recalled, and so they persisted: their
light went out into darkness, and they
were not remembered more than insects
OF yesterday. Live then for something.
Do good, and leave behind you a mon1.

HYPocHoNDRIA.-A person at Tam
ton often kept at home for sveral weeks
under an idea of danger in going abroad.
Sometimes he imagined that he was a car,
and seated himself on his headquarters
at other times, he would fancy himself
a teapot, and stand with one arm akimbo
like the handle, and the other stretched
out like spout. At last, he conceived
himself to have died, and would not move
or be moved till the coffin came. His
wife, in serious alarm, sent for surgeon
who addressed him with the usual saluta'
ton
'How do you do this morning "
'Dol' replied he in low voice (; 6
pretty question to ask dead mani
Dead, sir, what do you mean"
Yes, | died last Wednesday the
coffin will be here presently, and l shall
be buried tomorrow
The surgeon, a man of sense and skill,
Immediately felt the patients pulse, and
shaking his head, said, 1 find it is in
deed too true; you are certainly defunct
the blood is in a state of stagnation, pu'
trefaction is about to take place, and the
sooner you are buried the better
The coffin arrived he was carefully
PlNaad in it, and carried towards the
church. Inc surgeon had previously
given instructions to several neighbors
how TO proceed, The procession had
scarcely moved dozen yards, when q
person stopped them to inquire who they
were carrying to the grave?
Mr.. -, our late worthy over
seer
What! is the old rogue gone at last ?
A good release, for greater villain me-
yer lived -
The imaginary deceased no sooner
heard this attack on his character, than
he jumped up, and in threatening pos.
ture said -.
You lying scoundrel, if was not
dead, I'd make you suffer for what you
say but as it is, am forced to submit,
He then quietly laid down again but
ere they had proceeded half way to the
church, another party stopped the, process
sion, with the same inquiry, and added
invective and abuse. This was more than
the supposed corpse could bear; and jam
ping from the coffin, was in act of follow
ing his defamers, when the whole party
burst into an immoderate fit of laughter,
the public exposure awakened him to a
sense of his folly, and he fought the
weakness, and in the end, conquered it.

how decidedly the Common Council may
reject him. That is piece of advice
whose value he will decide upon for himself
but if the law does not render it nugatory,
as we trust it does, we warn him that there
are some games of remarkable depth and
brilliancy which do not always come out
according to the original calculations
Possibly this may prove to be one of them.
We may add that we trust the next
Legislature will pass still another law about
this office, so that hereafter it shall be filled
by popular election.
