ANEcpoTE. Did the reader ever know
a man grown, and big at that. with very
small voice, tina, almost squealed in utter
ing itself, and gave most ridiculous as
pect to what was perhaps of great imp3r-
lance, as matters Of life and death, the
reading of will, an exhortation to virtue,
or an anxious inquiry concerning the
health of friends Of course he has, for
there are many such voices about. An
agent of large manufacturing establish~
hlent in New Hampshire possessed this
REGULARITY of voice to remarkable de-
gree, which was once the cause Of a most
Notifying ana -ludicrous mistake. A
man came 20 the factory to get employ
ment-a great burly fellow, with voice
like young thunder-and saluted the
agent, who was small maa, byth way,
with the question Do you wanlao hire!'
in tone that seemed to shake tie room
in which they stood. Starting ct the
sound, and with face expressive of ner-
vous irrtabiiity, he drawled out in his
squeaking, querulous manner, as If look
ing at each word before he uttered it,
'No,-I-don't-know : as-l- do
The man not understanding his pecu-
Iiarity, attributed the strange tones TO
another cause, aud kindly extending his
huge hand, as one might suppose friend.

patted the little agent on the head and
soothngly uttered, Well, well, my little
fellow, don't cry about it-don't take on
so, if you cant hire me.-Carpet Bag.

HANDSOME MEN.-One of our exchan-
ges contains the following curious re-
marks relating to handsome men: II
you are ever threatened with handsome
man in the family, just take a clothes
FOUNDER while he is in the bud, and bat
ter his nose to a pummice. From some
cause or other, handsome men are inva-
riably asses; they cultivate their hair and
complexion SO much, that they have no
time 10 think of their brains. By the
time they reach thirty, their heads and
hands are equally soft. Again, we say
if you wish to find an intelligent man,
just look for one with features so rough
that they might use his face for a nutmeg
CRATER
Well bet our hat that the ugly looks Of
the writer of the above, prevent his rest

fortunate neighbors.

brought from the African coast so called
'camlet' that it was woven at least in part
of camel's hair. Such has been the man
ufacturing progress of England that we
now send our calicoes and muslns to In

standing witness that we once imported
them thence for calico from Calcut,

SMILES AND TEARS. The Grand Duke OF

in painting a picture, which represented an
infant shedding tears of distress. 4 am now

The WIFE. 1t needs no guilt to break
husbands heart; the absence of content, the
mutterings of spleen, the untidy dress and
cherries home, the forbidding scowl, and
deserted hearth-these and other natneless
neglects without crime among them, have
narrowed 10 the quick the hearts core OF
many man, and planted there, beyond the
reach of cure, the germ of dark despair
Oh! may woman. before that sight arrives,
dwell on the recolleclions of her youth, and
cherishing the dear idea of that tunefu time
awake and keep alive the promise she then
so kindly gave. And though she may be

10 the hour of peaceful love-a kindly wei
come TO a comfortable home-a smile of
love TO Danish hostile words-a kiss Of peace
to pardon all the past, and the hardest heart
that ever locked itself within the breast OF
selfish man will soften TO her charms, and
bid her live, as she had hoped, her years in
matchIess bliss, loved, loving, and content
the soother of the sorrowing hour, the source
Of comfort, and the spring of JOY.

HYDRAULIC CEMENT.-We are informed
that if hydraulic cement be mixed with oil it
forms first rate anti-combustble and excel
lent waterproof paint for the roofs of bull
dings, out-houses, walls, sc. We know
that if the cement is ground fine enough, it
will make good coarse paint, and so will
sand if well mixed with good white lead We
prefer the latter, as a waterproof hard paint,
10 any other; but the hydraulic cement
paint is much better, for its incombuslible
qualities. Our farmers should try this paint.
They need not he very particular about the
quality Of the oil which they use.-N. e..

BAKED HAM-Most persons boil hams.
They are very much better baked,
if baked rightly. Soak for an hour in
clear water, and wipe dry, and then
spread it all over with thin batter, and lay
it in deep dish with sticks under to
keep it out of the gravy. When fully
done, take off the skin and batter crusted
upon the flesh side and set it away to cool.
You will find it very delicious, but too rich
for dyspeptics.

Reasons for Risibility.
BY z. NJ. FITZGERALD.

Sweet coz I'm happy when l cam.
I'm merry while may,
For life's at most a narrow span,
AT best a winters day.
If care could make the sunbeam wear
A brighter, warmer hue,
The evening star shine out more fair,
The blue sky look more blue,
Then should l grow graver man;
But since It's not the way,
Sweet coz I'm happy when l can,
And merry while may
If sights could make US sin the less,
Perchance 1 were not glad;
If mourning were the sage's dress,
My garb should still be sad
But since the angels wings are white,
And even the young saints smile
Since virtue wears a brow oflight,
And vice robe of guile
Since laughter is not under ban,
Nor goodness clad in gray,
Sweet coz +! I'm happy when can,
And merry while l may
I've seen bishop dance a reel.
And a sinner fast and pray;
A knaye at top of fortunes wheel,
And a good man cast away;
Wine have l seen your grave ones quaff
Might set our feet afoat;
But never heard hearty laugh
From out williams throat;
And l never knew a mirthful man
Make sad young maids day;
SO coz ! I'm happy when 1 can,
And merry while may

AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF HENRY CLAY.
Two years ago, during Mr.. Clay's address
10 the students OF the New York Stale and
National Law School, in Ballston Spa, one
object of which is TO train young men in the
art Of extemperaneous speaking, he said,
when counting on the advantages OF the in
stltuiion, 4 owe my success in life 10 single
fact, viz !: that al the age of 81 commenced,
and continued for years, the practice of dali
ly reading and speaking upon the conlents
OF some historical or scientific book. These
off hand efforts were made sometimes in a
corntield, and at others in a forest, and not
untrequently in some distant barn, with the
horse and The OK for my auditors. Ii is 10
this early practice of the great art ofal arts
that AN indebted for the primary and lead
ing impulses that stimulated me forward,
and have shaped and moulded my entire
subsequent destiny. Improve, then, young
gentlemen, the superior advantages you here
enjoy. Let not day pass without exercis-
ing your powers of speech. There is no
power like that of oratory. Caesar controlled
men by exciting their fears; Cicero, by cap
tivaiihg their affections and swaving their
passions, The influence of the one persisted
wi tn its author-that of the other continues
to this day.

A Curious TRUTH.-The bones of bird
are hollow and filled with air. If a string be
tied tightly round the neck of sparrow, SO
that no air can enter its lungs, and lis legs
be broken, it will live. Respiration will take
place by means of the broken bone.

Just stopped and said attention"
While it made modest mention
Of the old Granite State
In moment there was roaring,
The name of PIERCE was soaring,
And peal of joy was pouring
Like a wave around the Hall.
We are all for the Union,
For the old happy Union,
That has long in blest communion,
Held the noble band of States
And we'll hold together ever,
And not a link shall sever,
But we'll stronger make the tether,
That binds us all in one.
We must not forget another,
A true and faithful brother,
And he claims as his mother,
The Alabama State;
He has stood upon the tower,
A sentinel of power,
Through many trying hour,
In the Democratic ranks.

There is victory appearing,
In him who had his rearing,
In the old Granite State;
