PAY IN CoPPERs-The Boston Traveller
says mat in'cepscquence of the difficulty of
procuring small change 'Bany of the large
manufacturing establishments, where several
hundreds of men are paid off weeklcy, have
found il exceedingly difficult to raise silver
enough to pay rke balance of the wages. In

informed his men that they must either bring
the odd change or else receive eoppers for
The fractional parts Of the dollar due them
A wag in the shop Immediately procured a
large amount Of cents, furnished each work
man with what ne needed; and on payday,
the overseer, instead of paying out cOppers,
received nearly $50 in cents. The joke was
considered SO good that no offense was taken

GALLANTRY-If there is trait of charac-
ter in which Southern men excel all Others
and for which they are entitled TO claim a
higher merit than any Other-it is their char
acteristic Difference TO the ladies-their ma
tive gallantry.
Some weeks since, young gentleman from
one of the Southern States came to Wash
ington to endeayor TO obtain an appointment
in one of the new regiments about being rals-
ed for service. 1t was his first trip to the
North and having travelled straight through
from Atlanta to Washington without stop
ping on the road, he had better opportunl-
ty Of feeling than seeing the effect produced
by change of climate On the day after his
arrival, he was introduced, by the member
from his district, to several young ladies'
with one of whom it fell to his lot TO walk
from Gadsby's to tile capitol. 1t was bitter
cold, and the young lady was provided with
pOnderous muff now so fashionable an ar
ticle of dress at the North. Our hero was in
adilemma. What to call it, or for what pur-
pose it was used, he did not know. But one
thing he did know, and that was, that it was
anything but polite for gentleman TO allow
a lady to bear such Il bwthcn. He scrutiniz-
ed it with much uneasncss for short time
he could not divine what it contained but he
was perfectly familiar with the "kiver," and
unable longer to restrain his gallantry, he ex-
tended his hands, saying

Like those buildings by Peric!es which
PlUtarcli describes, there are thoughts, which
howeves ancient, carry throughout all time
the flush and bloom of perennial youth
they are hallowed by the ages they have cx-
listed, and the great hearts they have inspired.
We feel this in the instance of proverbs
that popular stock of wisdom in all nations
there is something mysterious in their anti
guilty, and solemn in their familiar sameness.
The stagyrite considered them the wrecks of
some mighty lore that had persisted from the
earth, leaving only those relies as the germ Of
all the PHILOSOPHERS which our sages have
since labored into systems
