A CARD.

To the Merchants of East Tennessee, Yves
tern Virginia and Western Carolina.
HAVING determined to establish A Con-
IL MISSION BUSINESS in New Orleans | re-
spectfully offer my services to you in that ca
pacity.
Nv operations will embrace the RECEIVING
AND FORWARDING OF MERCHANDISE, SIZZLING
PRoDucE consigned to me, and PURCHASING
GROCERIES or other articles in that market.
In Purchasing Groceries the strictest care
and attention will be given both to their quail
ty and price-sending to correspondents only
such articles as KNOW are adapted to their
market.
When the amount of Sugar and Molasses
ordered is such as to justify it, or when sever
oil orders can be combined in the same pur-
chase, it will be made DIRECTLY FROM THE Plan
TER. Thus saving to those ordering good
profit in avoiding the expense of Commissions,
&c. DC, incurred in making purchases IN the
city, filling these orders, including my com.
missions, AT A MUCH LESS PRICE, than it ordered
directly from Houses dealing in these articles
and what is of equal Importance, sending
you FULL hogsheads Of Sugar, (thereby increas
ing your allowance for tare,) and both Sugar
and Molasses in much BETTER ORDER, than II
purchased elsewhere than on plantations.
In all branches of this business which may
be entrusted to me, the interests Of correspon
dents will be strictly consulted, well knowing
that course alone can accomplish the object
have in view, Of building up an New Orlean'
an East Tennessee Commission House.
My charges for making purchases will be q
per cent, and for other operations in proper
tion.
Remittances can be made to me in New
Orleans, in drafts drawn on Nashville or OF
the Eastern cities, or by making deposits IL
the different Banks in East Tennessee and en-
closing the certificate, or depositing Bani
notes with Messrs. BEARDoN, Son Co., o.
Knoxville, who will remit the same.

= HOW TO LAUGH.

Among the various induces of character,
there are few more significant than laughter:
It is indeed, as Carlyle says, "the cipher-key'
whereby we unlock the peculiarities of a man.
In the different diapasons of the organs of
exclamation, there is m endless variety, they
form u perfect scale, from the roar of the bull
of Bashap, which shakes the leaves from the
forest trees, down to the scarcely audible
taintness Of a grasshopper's chirp One man
draws out his laugh in a long and fearful
crescendo-a heightened and inextinguisha-
BILE peal, constantly increasing in volume and
power, till it abruptly terminates by bursting
his Wristbands, and splitting his knee-pans.
The laugh of another expodes at long inter-
walls, with loud and vigorous jerk, like the
short quick bark of an enraged .whelp The
laugh of that tall, thin Authenticated fellow,
sitting yondcr between the horns of shirt
collar, sneaks into the world, as if ashamed of
its exility, and slowly dies away in faint
undertone, like the death-moan of pumon-
airy flea. The laugh of that plattcr-faced,
portly-bcllied, jolly-looking man opposite,
possesses rumbling sound, like the peal of
heavy cannon, or the roll of distant thunder;
it jars the room, and 10! The window-curtain
feels its power, and waves to and froin, the
current of agitated air.
If there is an object in this world that we
do from, our soul detest, it is one of your
well-bchaved, polished, and polite people,
who, incapable of anything but commonplace
and decorum, deem it a magnanimous and
out-of- the-way elevation of mind, always TO
laugh in their sleeve; who wear an everlasting,
barren, teeth displaying shipper; who can only,
as Carlyle says, 'sniff and litter from the
throat outwards, orsproduee at best some
whiting, Observation-Disclosures if their wind
pipes wanted oiling, or, "as if they were
laughing through WOOL" We abhor such a
base compromise. Such mean-spirted sneaks
would rob a-hen-roost. Commend us to the
man who can laugh outright; who, instead of
meanly giggug at good joke, tumbles back
in his chair, and bursts into hilarious roar,
a regular Ha! Ha! Ha! a"guffaw, or horse
laugh even -as loud and ineXtinguishable rs
the laughter of the gods in Homer.
