Anecdote of Com. Morgan.

The following anecdote is related of
Commodore Morgan while lying in the har-
Dor Of Naples:
The Commodore's vessel had been in the
harbor of Naples but few days, when
Court ball was gwen, to which the Commo-
dore alone was invited Morgan waited on
our charge d alters, aud through him adj
dressed note 10 the Lord Chamberlain, or
some fuuctonary of the kings household.
(lm not versed IN royal terms,) stating
that 1t had been the custom elsewhere to
invite the other officers Of national vessel,
and he hoped thai His Majesty would grant
invitations TO the other officers, etc, etc.
His Milecty. through the Lord Chamber
lain, replied, That II was the not the Gus
tom in Naples to invite any but the com
handing officer of vessel OF war. etc.
Our charge thought tina. the Commodore
read this naughty reply with admirable calm
ness, aud after the first flush of indig-
nation, he thought no more about 1t.
The officers knew that the Commodore
had tried TO get their invitations for them,
and seeing our representative come over the
vessels side, naturally enough concluded
that this visit bore some reference to The
object of their desires. They watched ea-
gerly for some indication of success or fail
ure, aud soon read The letter on Mr.. IS
face As for the Commodore he turned to
them, and calmly said, No invitations,
gentlemen =
The Commodore's temper did not appear
at all rufiled. which caused some remarks
on the quarter deck aud The middies. up to
all sorts of mischief themselves. going upon
the adage OF set thief to catch theft,
thought they could detect something of that
style in the countenance of their superior.
That night they held a meeting for the
purpose OF investigating wha, means should
or ought to be attached TO sundry and varly

Curious Mental Phenomena.

ed her Madam, hoping she had no, been hurt.
He would run against posts, aud chide them
for not getting OUT of the way. Yet il any
one was with him, at the time, his CONVEX
saiion would be perfectly logical. Another
instance OF absence of mind was quoted in
the case of Scotch clergyman, who was
invited TO party IN Edin burg, at a time
when IT was usual TO mix devotion with So
cial intercourse. lie was requested to con-
duct the services before the company broke
up; and he therefore knelt down and began
to pray IN an appropriate manner. But
soon he apparently entirely forgot where he
was, aud he continued his prayer as If in the
quietude OF his own chamber. lie made
reflections, 10 the prayer, on the mode ia
which he had spent the evening, aud on the
individuals present with him, at the party.
When he had concluded MS prayer he rosa
up, took off his coat, aud waislcoai, aud
was about TO proceed to further exiremities
when his friends stopped him. More famiI-
lar instances Of absence OF mind. were mem
uoned as occurring to more than one gentle
man, who have been known to go up stairs
to dress for an evening party, aud actually
undfessed, aud got into bed, while their
wives perhaps, were waiting Tor them below.

SAVE Your EARNINGS. -The practice
which apprentices clerks, aud others have
OF spending their earnings as fast as they
accumulate, is one great reason why so
many never attain position above medi-
ocrIty IN life. A person who receives but
a small compensation for his services, Will,
with little care over his eXchequer and
system OF regularity in his expenditures, find
at the end of the year he is prepared to en-
counter any emergency or mlshap. But as
a general thing they manage to get rid of
their earnings quite as quick as they are
due, thus leaving them wholly unprepared
for emergencies, by sickness or Otherwise
system of curtailing unnecessary expense,
II adopted by our younger folks, would bring
around the mos. happy aud gratifying re-
suits, and be the means of rising 10 emf
nence aud standing in society, many who
have now contracted the habit Of parting
with their earnings SO readily aud foolishy
for the habit of keeping IN debt begets
indifference and dissipation, lack of self
respect, and an utter disregard for future
prospects. The real cause f"r great deal
OF crime may be traced to the habit of a
FOOLISH expenditure of money IA early days.
