Domestic OPERA,

his wife have become so carried away
with the furOr awakened by attendance
two nights at the opera, that it is the har-
dest thing in the world for them to re-
strap their disposition to sing everything
the more so because they are both pro-
fcients in music. The other morning,
while ordering his dinner, the butcher
sed ate man-was surprised to hear our
friend shout out, with most emphatic E.
nulclation.
"What will you take,
For that ere stake"
The butcher winked at his partner, and
answ wered, with an air of composure, " A
shllin' SIR" but it was evident that our
friend was down in the day-book of his
esin natiOn as lunatic. Making his pur-
chase, and going out of the door, he met
his neighbor Jones. Extending his hand
frantically, he sung
"Ah, friend JONES' and is it you!
How do you do, Jones, how do you do !!
Long time since we've met together;
Isn't this delightful weather."
Jones was astonished, as we'll be might
BE- Passing into bakery to procure
some bread for breakfast he sung to q
very plaintive air
''Bakers bakers bless your souls!
Let US have dozen rolls"
androlled the words "rolls" out so ten
derly that the bakers wife burstinto tears.
Therolls we're take down by the bakers
wife, when, finding his voice again, he
sang with great feeling
"Dearest one! with fingers taper,
Tie the bread up in paper!"
which she did, and he went home hum
ming and beating time on the paper par
cells he held in his arms. His wife met
him at the door, wringing her hands
The fit was on her, and she commenced
singing
"My dear Charles, what do you think
The cofee's all as black as ink!
I'm so provoked that | can cry"
CHARLES
"Stop, my dear, it's all in your eye!
When misfortune comes, why bear it;
/, your loving spouse, will share it.
Come, now, let US sit at table,
Do the best that we are able,
Let the coffee 60 to grass,
We will have some tea my, lass"
WIFE
"Ob, my Charles you happy make mel"
CHARLES
"If don't the duce may take me!
Hear the words that now utter
My love is strong, and-so's the butter
Trust me it will ne'er be weary
Pass the toast and cheese, my deary."
Born
"Now good bye, my dearest treasure" :"
CHARLES
Cook the steak just TO your pleasure,
But see that it's not overdoDe,
And viii be at home by one"
BoTH-
"Good bye, farewell,
'Tis hard to part;
/ cannot tell
How dear thou art.
How this will end, it's hard to foresee,
but "friends of the family" shake their
heads, and point to their foreheads signif-
icantly-as much as to say there is some
thing wrong about our unfortunate friends

CHOATES EtLOGY ON WEBSTER.--The pro-
posed eulogy on Daniel Webster, by the Hon
Rufus Choate, was delivered in the College
Chapel at Hanover, n H., on Wednesday last
1t is considered the most brilliant, eloquent and
profound eulogy that has yet been delivered to
the memory of the great orator and statesman
The following closing paragraphs exhibit the
spirit and style of the whole address
g But it is time this eulogy were brought to
its conclusion. My heart goes back into the
coffin there with him, and i would pause
went--it is day or two since-alone, to see
again the house which he so passionately loved
the chamber where he died, the grave in which
they laid him DOWNFALL habited as when
His look drew audience still night,
Or summers noontide air,
till the heavens be no more In all that spa
cious and calm scene all things to the eye looked
at first unchanged The books in the library
the portraits, the table at which, he wrote, the
scientific culture of the land, the course of
agricultural occupation, the coming in of har-
vests, fruit of the seed his own hand had scat
tered, the animals and implements of husbandry
the trees planted by him in lines, in copses, in
orchards, by thousands, the seat under the no.
BILE elm on which he used to sit to feel the south
west wind at evening, or hear the breathings of
the sea, or the not less audible music Of the
y
The sun of bright day, from which, however.
something of the fervors of midsummer were
wanting, fell temperately on them all, filled the
air on all sides with the utterance of life, and
CLEANED on the long line of ocean Some Of
those whom on earth he loved best, still were
there The great mind still seemed to preside
the great presence to be with you, You might
expect to hear again the rich and playful tones
of the voice of the old hospitality. Yet a mo-
ment more and all the scene took on the aspect
of one great monument, inscribed with his
name, and sacred to his memory. And such it
shall be in all the future of America The
sensation of desolateness, and loneliness, and
darkness, with which you see it now, will pass
away. The sharp grief Of love and friendship
will become soothed Men will repair thither,
as they commemorate the great days of history
The same glance shall take, and the same emo
ton shall greet and bless the Harbor Of the
Pilgrims, and the Tomb Of Webster

CONCENTRATED MoLAssEs. With regard TO

lowing from the New York Heralds Talk on

to the Government regarding this practice, and
the Secretary of the Treasury had issued his
circular, directing sugar duties TO be collected

at all our ports and had signifed his intention
OF making reelamations on importers for several
years past, for payment Of duties on that
hitherto introduced, which would amount 10 n
large sum. 1t was thought that the house at
St Louis was not the only one concerned in re-
timing sugar from such materials introduced in
similar way. 1t was not clear, however, that
the transaction was not perfectly legal under
the tariff law as it existed, and that the Secre-
tary. might fail in his attempt at reclamation.
The importers might also disregard his circular.
and pay the new duties under protest, The
.. able Secretary, however, would likely call upon
Congress to amend the law, and thus etectually
cut of this practice, considered injurious to
planters and to other importers and refners who

says:
:" As if it were not bad enough to have scores

dancing bears, balloons, rattlesuakes, anacon-
das, and other like monstrosities Model Ar
tste exhibitions have commenced business in
three different shanties. Vulgar paintings of
Gods and Goddssses are hung out for signs to
attract the lcwd, and, though clearly coming
within the prohibition Of the statute, not the
slightest effort is made by the police to abolish
the abuminnton The houses in which these
/ disgracetul allurements are permitted are but

boarding house attached to the Dog River Cot

entirely destroyed. How it caught is unknown.
The Tribune says it was worth some $4,000, and
fully covered by insurance. The destruction of

the business of the factory, which is weekly
turning out fair amount of sheeting, etc.
