from Jack ksonyiIIs - Z
and Is he was passfnE : -
roadside, he noticed 81
boy, Of about eight ysars q ~
large eyes and no hat, dru1sI
OF his fathers worn-out tronru
to balance himself on the splIn1sE1I
hickory stump.
More Tor the purpose Of breakin
monotony Of riding all day, without sped|
ing. than to gain information, Mr. Lord,
reined his horse up To the fence, and ex-
claimed:
"My little boy, can you tell me how
far il is to Sangsmon Bottoms 7"
"'Bout six miles, reckon"
"Do you live in that house !" inquired
Lord.
IL reckon" was the reply.
"Do you enjoy yourself out here in
the woods -
"a heap!"
- What ails your pants p says Lord.
Tore 'em," was the laconic answer.
Finding he had hold of genius that
Icould'nt be pumped. Mr.. Lord turned bic
horses head to depart, and in his turn
was now hailed by the boy, who, in
comical, half reluctant tone, exclaimed:
"What mought your name be 2"
Lord" was the reply.
The boy here grinned all over, even to
the wrinkles in his fathers trousers, and
seemed hardly able to suppress broad
snicker,
"You seem pleased" said Lord "per-
haps you never heard the name before"
Eyes, have p replied the youngster
" Tue heard pap read about you ?"
Lord put spurs to his horse, and said
that even the sacred thoughts to which
the incident gave rise, were not sufficient
to keep him from snickering throughout
the rest of his journey.

YELLOW FEvER.-.The South-Sido
Democrat, (Petersburgh. va.,) remarks :
:" In the recent epidemic which devasta-
ted New Orleans. we have been informed
that few, if any, Of the sufferers were
among the blacks; and gentleman who
lived for several years at Mobile, during
which time, the yellow fever twice at.
tackled the city, tells us that he never
knew a negro to die of it. There is an
aptitude, an adaptedness of the African
to high temperatures, that is as immuta.

LoNGFELLow has said much that is
beautiful in rhyme and even his prose
is but another rythm for his poem. All
ttrfs beautiful world. I~deed know no;
what TO think of it. Sometimes it is all
gladness and sunshine, and Heaven itself
is not far off. And then it changes sud-
denly. and is dark and sorrowful, and the
clouds shut out the sky In the lives of
the saddest of us, there are bright days
like this, when we feel as if we could
take the great world in our arms. Then
come the gloomy hours, when the fire will
neigher burn in our hearts, or on our
hearths, and all without and within is dis
NAL, cold and dark Believe me, every
heart has its secret sorrows, which the
world knows not and aften time we call
a men C! Id when he is only sad.

The GAlT.-one may judge of tho
the spirit and disposition of man by his
ordinary gait and mein in walking. He
who habitually pursues abstract thoughts,
looks down to the ground. He who is
accustomed 10 sudden impulses, or is try
ing TO seize on some necessary recolec-
ton, looks up with a kind of jerk. He
who is steady, cautious. merely practical
man, walks on deliberately, his eye
straight before him and even in his mos,
musing moods observes things around
him sufficiently to avoid porter's knot or
a butchers tray. But the man with strong
gauglions-ofpushing, lively temperament,
who, though practical, is yet speculative
the man who is emulous and active, and
ever trying rise in life-sanguine, alert,
bold-walks with spring, looks rather
above the heads of his fellow. passengers,
but with a quick, eesy turn of his own,
which is lightly set on his shoulders his
mouth is little open, his eye is bright,
rather restless, but penetrative his port
has something of defiance; his form is
erect, but without stiffness.

The message next recommends an
amendment to the constitution, so as to
require biennial instead of annual sss-
sions of the Legislature, for the duration
Of ninety days.
Second, to repeal the twenty-eigh;h
section, SO as to prevent the necessity Of
taking the census in 1855.
Third, to abolish the Office of Superin-
tende ent of Public Instruction, and de-
volve his duties on the Secretary Of
State. 1t says:]
The Office Of Superintendent Of Public
Instruction, as distinct department, is
Of very doubtful necessity, as an original
question and it. under any circum-
sian ces, it were desirable, can now, with
propriety be dispensed with, and thus
relieve the Treasury annually to the a.
msunt of the salary and contingencies Of
that Office. In adopting the policy pro.
posed, we follow the example of large
majority Of our sister States on this in
teresting subject On examination, It
will be found that more than two thirds
of the members of the confederacy have,
after mature experience in some of them,
finally settled down on the measure ad-
voca ted by this amendment. The States
Of Vermont and Wisconsin are. the only
ones which have constituted this sep
arate and independent Office; New
York, Massac chusetts, Illinois and Penn-
sylvania have merged the duties of this
Office in that Of the Secretary of State
Indiana has placed in the hands of the
State Treasurer; Connecticut, with the
State Auditor and Maine, New Hamp-
shire, louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida, Georgia and Missouri, have d.
yided them out among Commissioners
elected by the people Of the various
school districts. Such commanding pre-
cedents should not be disregarded By us.
The fundamental law Of government,
which can only be changed after long
and strenuous effort, it would seem,
should be confined to provisions for great
and admitted principles and measures,
and leave the ways and means of carry.
ing those great truths into effect to the
wisdsm and patriotism of the Legislative
power, acting under knowledge Of the
peculiar circumstances Of the times.

have pursued a system heretofore, the
PRACTICAL result Of which, as exhibited
BY the present financial condition Of the
State, are certainly net such as will
commend it to further adhesion. A
system which produces such results,
must be defective, and should be aban-
doned. To sustain the credit Of the
State, to avoid tho burdens Of embar-
rassing liabilities, and to expend nomore
than the annual revenues derived from
easily borne taxation, are amongst the
first and great objects of legislation.
But we have signally failed to do either
upt this time, and must therefore,
have pursued system neither we'll
found ed nor wisely practical, considered
with reference to the objects intended
70 be secured thereby. A debt has been
already contracted. which, under exis-
ting arrangements, will continue to ac-
cumulate to disastrous extent. For
tunately, however it rests with you to
cheek this growing evil, by a suspension
Of the existing, and the adoption of ano-
ther system, which, while it avoids the
errors into which we have fallen, shall
introduce such salutary reforms, as past
experience demonstrates to be indispen-
sable.
With this view, it is my purpose to
present, generally, for your considera-
ton, few Of the leading reforms which
have occurred to my mind, as important
and necessary.
