the Judge fell sick, and was nigh unto
death; indeed, il was reported, and the be.
lief was general, that he was dead. His

covered that it was a mistake but as the
judge was not popular, the news Of his
recovery did moi lrayel so fist as had the
rumor Of his death. A gentleman IRON a
distant part of the country, was walking
the streets Of the several weeks afterwards
with a hiend, when to his astonishmenl
they chauced 10 meet the tall, spare figure
of the nervous magistrate.
"Why," said he To his companion, al

"Well, he did die" was tho reply, "anj

For green grows the urfOe the al ostened grave

TOUCHING DELIcAcY.-There are many
little occurrences which suggested to me, with
great consolation, how natural It is to gentle
hearts to be considerate and delicate towards
any inferiori.y. One Of these particularly
touched me. | happened to stroll into the
little church when marriage was just con-
cluded. and the young couple had to sign the
register.
The bridegroom. to whom the pen was
harded FIRST, made rude cross for his mark
the bride, who came next, did the same.
Now, | had known the bride when was
last there, not only as the prettiest girl in the
place. but as having quite distinguished her
self in the school and could not help look
ing at her with some surprise. She came
aside and whispered to me, while tears Of
honest love and admiration stood in her bright
eyes:
He's dear good fellow, Miss; but can't
write yet he's going to learn Of me-and
wouldn't shame him for the world"
Why, what had to fear, thought. when
here was this nobility in the soul Of labor
ing mans daughter Bleak House

SYMPTOMS. = When you meet friend
about dinner time, near his own house. and
he stands gossiping with you on the door step.
without any demonstration to enter, you may
take it as a symptom that your company to
dinner is not particularly desirable.
When you drop in for half hours chat at
friends house in the evening. and after you
have been there three mortal hours, your
friend yawns and looks at his watch, and
his vie packs up her needle-work and says
in pointed soliloquy,. Well, | believe it is
about time to give over for to night. you
may take it as an infalliable symptom that
you are bore, and the sooner you depart the
better.
When in a deliberative assembly you see
member rise, and preface his remarks by
an emphatic declaration that he intends TO
occupy the attention of his hearers but zone
single moment" or that he has only one
word " to say relative to the subject under
debate, you may regard il as an unerring
symptom Of an unusually long and perhaps
tedious and prosy harrangue covering the
whole subject under discussion, and many
things beside.

Population of the Principal Cities

lowing table Of the population Of the largest

the Germans arc proverbially accurate in
their statistical statements, says the Trans

be relied upon as correct. It will be seen
that New York stands fourth on the list,
Philadelphia. ninth, Baltimore twenty-frst,
and Boston twenty-cighth. As a matter Of
curiosity and reference, the table may be
worth cutting out and preserving -

Mr. P0LK's CABINET.-When we took oc-
,asion as we did frequently, to congratulate
the country upon the able men that the late
President, Mr. Polk, had collected around him
as G abinet officers, we have often met with a
denial Of the fact by our whig friends. and on
more than one occasion, we were compelled
TO defend some Of those gentlemen from at
tacks OF the most violent kind.
There can be no higher tribute to the clear
Judgment and foresightcdness Of the late Ex-
President than the fact, that Mr..Pierce, with
the undivided Democracy Of the whole coun-
try 70 choose from. has no less than three
members of that Cabinet in the most respon-
sibIe Offices within his gift We need not say
that bis Secretary Of State, Wm. j.. Marcy,
was Mr.. Folks Secretary Of War, Mr.. Buc-
hanan the Minister to the Court Of st. James,
and Hon. r. J. Walker, the recent nominee
TO the Celestial Empire, was Mr.. Folks
Secretary of the Treasury Mr.. Bancroft the,
historian, would fill any situation with honor
to himself and credit to the country. John
Y. Mason. Mr.. Clifford and Mr.. Toucey, and
old Cave johnson, are all able men, occupy
ing Offices of honor and trust in their own
States or under the Federal Government, and
with few equals and scarcely any superiors in
the several departments they fill, and still
survive to justify the judicious choice Of Mr..
Polk This slight tribute to the distinguished
statesman cow no more will be appreciated
by all who have known the ability and integ-
rity of his Administration, and is no less due
to the characters Of the eminent living than
to the worth of the departed dead.--La.
Courier.

The QUAKER GARB.-The grace and beau
ty Of the Quaker dress depcnds-as all that
is lovely iu outward manifestations must
upon its being a true expression Of the spirit.
Where it is simply formal. it is hard and
ungainly; where it is compulsory, it betrays
the wearer's true tastes and wishes By un-
conscious deyiations from the standard, and
Ieanings towards the forbidden. Where it is
worn on conviction. it is exact and not unbe-
coming; but if the result Of enthusiasm, it
becomes classic and elegant as Roman drapery.
We have seen a Friend who, without the least
ostentation, refrained from wearing anything
that had been dyed preferring garments Of the
natural color, as being the extreme of SIM
pIicity. The world might laugh at such a
twilight gray as this combination Of soft
browns produced, but the painter would have
found it something congenial to his eye, and
peculiar value in the power with which it
set off a fresh, ruddy complexion and silver
hair. We remember full length picture Of
Thorwaldsen in Italy, which reminded us, in
its truly Quaker dress, of the undyed Friend
we had seen years before. Il is noticeable
that scuIptors have no escape from the diff
culties Of modern costume, except in a near
approach to the simplicity Of the Quaker garb.
Ii the marble man must have a coat on, tue
sculptor perforce shayes off ali lappels and
fnicalities, and comes as near a seamless gar
ment as possible-giying unconscious testi-
mOny to the essential good taste Of the fol-
lowers Of George Fox.
