An Internal Retort.

SOMEBODY, to the writer Of this un-
known, tells joke that may be worthy of
printing, even after making a reasonable
deduction for the risk of its being old.
In a small town in one of the counties
of Ohio, stranger rode up to the door of a
tavern and having dismounted, ordered
stall and oats for his horse.
A crowd of loafers-that class Of indie
pendent citizens who are never equal to
decent men except on election day
swarmed about the bar-room door and
steps, waiting to be invited up to the
counter" Among this crowd the strang-
er's business was at once subject Of i'm
pertinent speculation. One fellow more
impudent than the rest, made free to in
quire of the traveller what occupation he
followed: to which the latter replied that
his business was secret for the present,
but that he would probably make it known
before leaving town.
Having spent a day or two looking
round, visiting the places where whiskey
was sold, and making various inquiries as
to the amount retaied, the number OF
habitual drunkards in the place; the num-
Der of dogs kept by men, whose children
never went to school or had enough to
eat-after, in short, making complete
moral inventory, of the town, he concluded
to leave, and having mounted his horse
was about to abe off," when his inquisi-
tive friend, urged on BY his associates
stepped up and said, "see here Captain
you promised to tell US your business be,
fore you left, and we'd like to hear from
you on that point"
"Well-" said the stranger-"I am
an Agent for the Devil-rm hunting a
location for h-lI, and am glad have
found place where it will not be neces-
sary TO remove the inhabitants 2"

Manners of the Turks.

In a new work, just published in Eng

Turks:

I at last called out to the smokers, as I
observed that my waiting was likely to
lead to no other result than CARRYING nv

"All of us, willingly" replied the por-
ters, almost with one voice, but without
stirring from their seats. "But which of
US shall serve youG When do you
wish 2"
"Come who will !" was my reply.
The porters puffed hard at their pipes
and looked at each other in silence. At
last one Of them, seemingly the Oldest,
spoke, "Allil," he said, shave you had
job to-day9"
"No," was the reply Of a slender young
Moor, attired in white turban, white
jerlin, and large red trowsers.

FADELEss Is A LOVING HEART.

"Thou shalt not rob me thievish tim,
OF all my blessings all my Joy,
1 have some jewels in my heart
Which thou art powerless to destroy.
Sunny eyes may lose their brightness,
Nimble feet forget their lightness;
Pearly teeth may know decay;
The raven tress may turn to gray;
Cheeks be pale and eyes grow dim;
Faint the voice and weak the limb;
But though youth and strength depart
Fadeless is the loving heart.
like the little mountain flower,
PeePing forth in Wintry hour,
When the Summers breath is fled,
And the gaudier flowerets dead;
So when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite Times destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly loving heart.
Ye in worldly wisdom old,
Xe who bow the knee to gold.
Doth this earth as lovely seem,
AS it did in Life's young dream,
Fer the world had crusted DER,
Feelings pure and good before,
Ere you sold at mammon's mart,
That true and faithful loving heart.
Wealth and talents will avail,
When on life's rough sea VS. sail,
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And the wit mo longer glow,
But more smoothe we'll find the sen.
And our course the fairer be,
flour pilot when we start,
Be a kind and loving heart.
Grant me Heaven, my earnest prayer
Whether life of ease or care,
Be.the one to mo assigned,
That each coming year may find
Loving thoughts and gentle words,
TwiDed within my bosom's chords,
And that age may but impart
Ripper freshness in my heart J.
