Noy-INrERvENTIoN.-The following eX-
tract from Cutis' .Recollections Of Washington,
speaks volumes in reference to one of the
follies of the present moment:
Several of the most distinguished of the
French cmigrants, some of them bringing
letters from French officers who had served
in the war of Independence, sought in vain
to be received by the first President
Among these were the celebrated TaIey-
rand, the Due de Liancourt, Louis Philippe,
then Due d'Orleans, and his two brothers,
Montpensier and Bojolais. The first Presi-
dent adhered to his rule, that upon mature
considerations he had laid down for his gov
ernment during the wars and troubles of
European nations, viz "Respect and co'lsid-
grafton for our own affairs, and nOn-intcrven-
tion IN the affairs of Others"

under that shabby surtout than their "puppy
brains" could easily conjecture. That in
this they were right, was speedily made
manifest.
When we had entered Glasgow, and were
approaching the Bucks head, the inn at
which our conveyance was to stop, an OPEN
travelling carriage, drawn by four bcauti-
full horses, drove upin the opposite direction.
The elegance of this equipage, made the
dandies spring to their feet.
"What beautiful greys?" cried one; Il
wonder who they can belong to?"
she is happy fellow, anyhow" replied
he other. Il would give halt of York shire
o call them mine"
The stage-coach and the travelling car
riage stopped at the Bucks Head at the
same moment, and footman in laced livery,
springing from behind the latter, looked first
inside and then at the top Of the former,
when he lifted his hat with smile OF res
pectful recognition.
care you all well at the castle, Robert?"
"All well, my Lord" replied the foot
man.
At the sound Of that monosyllablc, the face
Of the eXquisites became visably elongated;
but without taking the slightest notice of
them or their confusion, the nobleman DO
litely wished me good morning, and descend
ed from the coach, caused the footman tc
place his cloak and dcspised portmanteau in
the carriage. He then stepped into it him
self, and the footman getting up behind, the
coachman touched the leader very slightly
with his whip, and the equipage and THEN
noble owner were soon out of sight.

Temperance Anecdote.

The following, related by the Rev ]. B.
Owen, in temperance lecture, at Liverpool
England, is worth a hundred temperance
sermons:
A Manchester calico-printer was, on his
wedding-day, persuaded by his wife to al
low her two half-pints of ale day as her
share. He rather WINGED under the bargain;
for, though drinker himself, he would have
preferred a perfectly sober wife. They
both worked hard; and he, poor man, was
seldom out of public house as soon as the
factory closed. The wife and husband saw
little of each other, except at breakfast !:
but as she kept things tidy about her, and
made her stinted, and even selfish, allow
ence for housekeeping meet the demands
upon her, he never complained. She had
her daily pint, and he, perhaps, had his two
or three quarts; and neither intericred with
the other, except at odd times, she succeed
ed by one little gentle artifice or another, to
win him home an hour or two earlier at
uight, and now and then 10 spend on entire
evening in his own house. But these were
rare occasions. They had been married a
year; and on the morning of the wedding
anniversary, the husband looked askance at
her neat and come ly person with some shade
Of remorse, as he observed, MARY, wen
had no holyday sin we were wed; and, only
that | hay penny i tn world, we'd take
a jaunt to tn village to see the mother
"Would'st like 10 go, John?" asked She,
softly, between smile and tear, to hear
him speak kindly as in old times. If theo d
like to go, John, I'll stand treat" Thou
stand treat" said he, with half sneer, hast
got fortun wench?" Nay" said she,
''but In got the pint O. ale!" Cotton
WHAT" said he. Tho pint o. ale." was
the reply. John didn't understand till the
faithful creature reached down an old stock
ing, from under q loose brick in the Chin
ney, and counted out her daily pint of ale,
in the shape of 365 threepences, (i. e. ca
lis. Sd, } and put it into his hands, exclaim-
ing, "Thee shall have thy hOlyday, John"
John was ashamed, astonished, conscience
smittcn and charmed. He would not touch
it, "lIasnt thee had thy sharo?--then I'll
ha' no more" he said. They kept their
weddng-day with the old dame; and the
wife's little capital was the nucleus of Sc
ries of Investments that ultimately swelled
into shop, factory, warehouse, country seat,
a carriage, and for aught Mr.. Owen knew,
John was Mayor of his native borough at
last.
