What lille Punctualiiy lcouM do.-The
Maysville Tribune says if Jerry Dila'ory would
pay US the dollar he owes US for Il small lob we
did for him two years ago, We would pay Mr..
Drygoods the dollar we owe him; he would paw
Sam Vulcan for shoeing his horse; Sam would
pay Bob Charcoal for his coal; Bob would pay
10 Ayeman for his two days chopping; 10 would
pay Jack Grlst for his last bag Of corn meal
Mr.. Grist would pay Doctor Escuapius for the
medicine that came so near "getting down. his
child; "Doc." would pay the widow Broom for
her last two days washing she would pay Bill
Grocer the dollar she owes him; Grocer would
pay "Coke upon Littleton" his fee for council
i'll the State of Ohio Us. Bill Grocer; "Coke-up-
on Littleton7 could pay Peter Crispn for the
mending Of his boots; Peter could then 90 and
pay Tim Haystack the dollar he owes him on
the day he bought of him last week. and Tim
is such good honest soul that we know he
would come right in and pay us the dollar he
owes on ription-and then we could buy
q chicken, a dozen of eggs, half bushel of
corn meal to make "dodger," and we, ourself.
individually, and our wife, and our s'todlin wee
things would ''5oast one splendid banquet
once year," and we would have dime in our
pocket, "baby in the cradle, and little wife to
rock it,"
But, because Jerry DiIatory is not honest
enough to pay-not one of these debts can be
paid, and we cannot have the feast of''fat things
at all. All, Jerry Dilatory! You are the cause
of all this trouble. You prevent all this happi-
ness, It requires all our forbearance to keep
from giving you "particular Jessee." We feel
as though we would like to take scythe and
NOW down ten acre field of such men.
They are excrescences on society, that mar its
beauty and harmony, clog its energies, destroy
its peace and waste its substance.
Still men are SO, and we suppose they will
stay SO a little while yet; but we do hope there
is better time coming--a time when to owe
man and not pay him, will be considered akin
to stealling--when all will adopt the Scriptural
motto, "Owe no man anything"

Energy Waht 1t Does.-We love your up
right energetic men. Pull them this way, and
then that way, and they only bend but never
break. Trip them down. and in a trice they
are on their feet. Bury them in the mud, and
in an hour they will be out and bright. They
are not ever yawning away their existence, or
walking about the world as If they had come
into it with half their soul; you cannot keep
them down-you cannot destroy them. But
for these, the world would soon degenerate.
They are the sap of the earth. Who but they
start any noble project! They build our cities,
and rear our manufactures. They whiten the
ocean with their sails, and they blacken the
heavens with the smoke of their steam vessels
and furnace fires. They draw their treasures
from the mine. They plough the earth. Bles-
sings on them. Look to them young men and
take courage; initiate their example; catch the
spirit Of their energy. Without this, what are
you good fors life is passed idly away. We
should ever measure thus life's employment.

Buried Aziue.-Pliny mentions the case of
young man of high rank, who having expired
some time, as it was thought, was placed upon
the funeral pile. The heat of the flames revi-
we'd him, but he perished before his friends
could rescue him. The great anatomist Vesalius
had the unspeakabe misfortune to commence
the dissection of living body apparently dead
Less unhappy was the fate ofthe Able Provost
who fell apopIetic. but recovered his conscious
ness, too late for the scalpel. Preparations
were made to embalm the body of the Cardinal
Somaglia. The operator had scarcely pene-
trated the chest when the heart was seen to
beat. Returning partially to his senses, he had
sufficient strength to push away the knife; but
the lung was mortay wounded. In one Of
our journals is recorded the strangely interes-
ting case of the Rev. Mr.. Tennent, of New
Jersey, who laid three day in his shroud, and
was saved from interment almost by a miracle.
We find collection by Bruhier of no less than
fifty-two cases of persons buried alive; four
dsseeted prematurely; ffty-three who recover
ed after being coffined; and seventy.two falsely
considered dead.--Bnston Posi-.

The Kossub Mania--The Baltimore Clipper
says, "The excitement on this subject has van
ished in the State of Maryland with the disap-
pearance Of Mr.. Kossuth; nor do we suppose
that single Hungarian bond, prepared by the
New York Committee to replenish the treasury
of Hungary, could be sold in Maryland, exeep-
ting as curiosity. Financiers will look TO
better security than these bonds afford; and we
think it likely that the sum which may be rails
ed by the sale of them will not do much more
than pay the expenses of their ISSUE"

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1852.

Homestead Eren1ption.-We learn with deep,
unfeigned regret, says the Bulletin, that there
is possibility Of the defeat of the homestead
exemption project in the Legislature It's said
that serious opposition is likely to be encoun-
tered from aportion of the country men,
bers. We are truly grieved to hear this, for we
look upon measure like the one we have adyo-
Gated, as demanded by the highest dictates Of
philanthropy good policy--by every prin-
ciple Of benevolence and humanity-and by the
holiest emotions of our natures
We cannot believe that measure like this
is doomed to defeat at the hands Of an enlight-
ened Legislature. There must be a msappre-
hension as to the meaning and scope Of the OBJ
jects contemplated, that will be obliged to yield
before the arguments which men of experience
and ability are so we'll prepared to bring to BEAR
Should it be defeated, however, a responsibility
will attach to those who cause such an unfor-
tunate and deplorable result, that will doom
them forever to the secIusion of private life,
besides injuring the party which is so unucky
as to number them amongst its supporters

Louis Napozeon-The personal character of
Louis Napoleon is said to be somewhat enig-
matical. The London correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser says:
"His mother, Hortense Beauharnais, was
woman of exceedingly bad life, however history
may have CLOSED her annals. Before mar
rage she had two children-one by Napoleon,
which died early; the other by Freachmen-
FIahaut-the present De Morny, late Minister
of the Interior. Louis Napoleon, born after
her marriage with Louis Napoleon, King of
Holland, is very generally regarded as the natu-
raj son of Dutch admiral, notorious as the
Queens lover"

Trnnsnznulinc.-Lose no time in transplaD

Transpzaming.--Lose no time in transplant
ting fruit, shade or ornamental trees. Plant
out now, shrubs, vines, &c. Continue to make
strawberry plantations: plant cuttings fgrapes:
figs, roses, &c. be certain to have a fresh, clean
cut to put in the ground when cutting is PLAN
ted. Remember never to plant tree deeper
than it originally grew in the soil, and to prune
its top just in proportion to loss of roots. Do
not cramp the roots, but give them all the room
they originally had; a healthy start is at least
two years in the growth of tree, and who has
years enough to spare that he can afford to lose
two years? We give these oft repeated eau
tons at the risk Of firing some of our readers,
and yet we fear the many will not heed them
"plant a tree" should be the motto over every
hearth stone, and how and when to plant it.,
should be engraved upon every heart. Now,
plant trees, shrubs and yines.-Soil Of The

Louis Nqpoleon and The Press.--A deputa

Louis Napoleon and The Press.--A deputa-
ton, consisting of some of the principal editors
of the moderate press at Paris, were received
by the President Of the Republic in a private
interview, which they had requested for the pur-
pose of representing the grievances to which
they were exposed by the rigorous censorship
under which the newspa pers have been placed
since the I'd of December. The gentleman who
headed the deputaton spoke for fully half an
hour, and concluded his speech by expressing a
hope that the President would give some mod
crate latitude to the papers to comment upon
passing events. Louis Napoleon listened with
great composure and patience; but his only an
swer was the following :"Gentlemen, the press
has already destroyed two dynasties; may fall
like the others; but shall take care that it shall
not be by the press and with this he bowed
them out.
