EXAGGERATIoN.-If there be any
one man lelism that is universal among
mankind, it is that of coloring too highly
the things we desc: ibe. We cannot be

Who ever heard of dark night that

that was not /" as strong as horse J" or

conversation we are constantly outrag-

breeze blow up while we are in the

sure to "run mountains high !" and if
a man grow rich, we all say that "he

The First is fairy child,
A wondrous emanation!
A tameless creature, fond and wild

Its footsteps laugh with lightness
And Graded, all its features fair
Are touched with mystic brightness.

First gift direct from Heaven above

And, with quick laughter ringing,
Make the inanimate rooms rejoice,
A hidden rapture bringing.
Its beauty all the beauteous things
BY kindred light resembles;
But overcome with huttering wings,
On fairy confines trembles,

to be justice by either bride or groom.

night; but judge Of their CONSERVATION

parties, at last concluded, as it was only

in England, but we believe it has been
reserved for the French to Introduce the
stalking of wives at game Of cards ! A
recent French paper reports 4 case that
was brought before the Correctional Po-
lice, in which Madam 7. brought a suit
for divorce against her husband In the
cource OF the evidence it was proved
that on two different occasions the wife
had been staked and lost at cards, and
the key to her room handed over to the
winners In the first case she escaped
by jumping out of tue window, and in
the other the winner was too much in

ed to divorce the parties. This case

Interview with Hon. Henry Clay.

A correspondent of the New York Er-
press, who visited the room of Mr.. Clay,
and found him in company with two friends
from New York, few days ago, thus de-
scribes his appearance
''There is hardly strength enough in his
hands to convey food to his mouth, and he
is helped to and from his bed like feeble
child. He rises very late, and as he told
me, has not known for long time what it
was to enjoy an hour of sweet, refreshing,
natural sleep. But like an old forest oak,
beautiful even in its decay. The lustre Of
his eyes is undimmed. He both sees and
knows his friends. The grasp of his hands
is as fervent, earnest and kindly impressive
as ever it was. His voice continues to be all
sweetness and melody, except when its tones
are moved by that bodily weakness which
makes it painful for him to speak-and it is
always very painful for him to speak long
But greatest blessing which God vouchsafes
to dying man is his.
"He has that peace of mind which the
world can neither give nor take away, anC
an intellect as unclouded as in the day o.
its greatest brilliancy. Most of his thoughts
are devoted to that change of existence from
which none of US are exempt, and tina
change may come in an hour or day, or j
may be postponed till the spring or summe
flowers fade, and die. In the meantime
Mr.. Clay is TRANQUILITY prepared for the mes
senger whenever he comes, and he remark
of his death in confding, Christian spirit
that though st may be presumption in hin
to say so, he looks forward to the world be
yond the grave with faith in God, and trus
in better life He is member and CON
municant of the Episcopal church, and {

of God occupies the most conspicuou

There is an anecdote going the rounds Of
the press relating, that the field Of certain
lazy farmer was broken into by some cattle,
which were making sad havoc with his grain
A neighbOr passes and takes the trouble 70
ride around and inform his friend Of the
fact. He is very much surprised to End the
trespassed-on-one, sitting with chin in hand,
pensiYely watching the foray upon bis pro-
duce. In reply to the anxious enquiry Of
his neighbor, he says that be is aware that
the cattle are in his 6eld-has known It
long while, that be has not driven them Out,
because he has been trying to think al he
morning lOhers they could hare got IN at.
This applies so forcibly to the South that
one might be almost led to believe, that i
was written by some malicious Wag to can
cature us.
But the story Of the t'laziest man as
told by Mississippian, in illustrating the
past history Of the South, is yet moro apPi-
cable
Three men were seated together, when-a
prize was thrown in the middle Of the room,
to be given to the LATEST Of the party. The
first after much yaWning and exertion man
aged to stretch over so as Just to reach it,
The second rolled as it we're with much In
difference over the floor towards the prize.
The third fixing his longing but lazy gaze On
the tempting object Of desire, threw HIM
self back in his chair and draWled out q W.
) ont some body pick it up, and put it In
/ my pocket" He got the prize.
The policy of the South is illustrated By
: the last one of this party. She has been
: waiting for some one to come and put the
t prize in her pocket. The enterprise Of the
t first or even the second persons Of the above
!, described lazy party would be considerable
