with an elastic step, which indicates uny ield- :

more energy, more decision, more frmness,
more enterprise, more heroism, than half the

your ugly mugs here till you can find verdict
If yon can't find one Of your own, get the one

an absence of fifteen minutes, returned with
verdict of Suicide in the ninth degree and
fourth verse;" The Judge Jonah Joles pro-
ponneed upon Crunch this sentence: sElim

found guilty of suicide for stealing. Now, this
court sentences you to pay fine of two shI-
ings, to shave your head with bagganet in the

fine, glossy black beard extending from the
outer corner of her eyes down her cheeks and

GnergY Of Character.

A bold vigorous man--what a tone he gives
to the company he may be in, to the society in
which he lives, to the nation wherein he was
born! Man seems ineLriate with the atmos-
phere around him, 80 completely is he over
come by his presence. He is never weary OF
languid: nothing enerva,ing falls from him in
action or speech. He strengthens and arouses;
he sets men Of no confidence on their feet not
purposely but by his own example. They see
him one of themselves, the boy they went to

ing all after him in the vortex in which he moves.
He is perpetual reproach TO the sluggard, a
JOY to the timid, those who want confidence,
and who fancy they are by temperament or
situation precluded from possessing or mani.

character is continually renovating society,"
elevating men to level whence they see how
easy it is or seems to become great and joyful,
as strong and vigorous as he who, by act or
thought, lifted them up. 1t is animation TO see
men press on in the race of emulation, inspired
by some noble fellow, who figures in the past
or is present among them. The enthusiasm

Big Brindle.

In Nashville, many years ago, there resided
gentleman of great hospitality, large fortune,
and though uneducated, possessed of hard,
knotty sense. Colonel w. had been elected to
the Legislature, and had been also Judge of
the County Court.
His elevation, however, had made him some-
what pompous, and he became very fond of
using big words. On his farm he had very
large and mschievous OK, called "Big Brindle,"
which frequently broke down his neighbors'
fences and committed other depredations, much
to the Colones annoyance.
One morning after breakfast, in presence of
some gentlemen who had staid with him over
night and who were now on their way to town,
he called TO his oyerseer, and said to him:
"Mr. Allen, desire you to impound Big
Brindle, in order that may hear no more ami
madversions on his eternal depredations."
Allen bowed and walked off, sorely puzzled
to know what the Col. meant. So after the COL
one left for town, he went to his wife and ask
ed her what Colonel w. meant by telling him
to "impound the OK"
"Why," said she, "the Colonel meant to tell
you to put him in apen."
Allen left to perform the feat, for it was no
inconsderabe one, as the animal was very wild
and vicious and after great deal of trouble
and vexation he succeeded.
"WeIl," said he, wiping the perspiration from
his brow, and soliloquzing, "this is impound-
ing, is it? Now am dead sure the Colonel
will ask if Iimpounded Big Brindlc and bet
III puzzle him as bad as he did me-
The next day the Colonel had dinner par
ty and as he was not arstocratc, Allen, the
overseer, sat down with the company. After
the second or third glass was discussed, the
Colonel turned toward the overseer, and said:
"Eh, Mr.. Allen, did you impound Big Brin-
die, sir"
Eyes did, sir, but old Brindle transcended
the imgannel of the impound and scatterlophis-
ticated all over the equanimity of the forest!"
The company burst into an immoderate fit of
laughter, while the Colonel's face Redeemed
with discontinue.
"What do you mean by that, sir % said he.
':Why, mean, Colonel" said Allen, "that
Big Brindel being prognosticated with an idea
ofthe cholera, ripped and tared, snortcd and
paved dirt, jumped the fence, took the woods,
and would not be impounded, no how"
This was too much the company roared
again, in which the Colonel was forced to join,
and in the midst of the laughter Allen left the
able, saying to himself as he went, II reckon
he Colonel won't ask me to impound any
more oxen"

A Prodigy in Fort Smith, Ark.--We learn
from the Fort Smith Herald that there is a
young man in that place, about twenty -one or
twenty-five years of age, who is an idiot, ex-
cept in the computation Of numbers, and in this
respect he is prodigy. The Herald says:
His mind appears to be occupied altogether
in counting, day and night He can give cor
rect answers to the most difficult questions
propounded, instantaneous, by his head, for he
has no education whatever He will not leave his
mother, at no time, and is perfect child in
this respect. How he can render SO readily as
he does, accurate answers to all questions put q
to him, is mystery TO US. There appears 70

Singular Coincidence.--A correspondent of

A marriage took place on the night of the

from Kentucky now citizen of this State, he
being the fifth upon whom she had conferred
Hymenial honours, and the third whose heads

between whom and herself all marital duties
had ceased to exist by the operation of the d.
vorce law, had put up at the Nevada House on
the same evening, ignorant of the fact that their
former caru sp0sa had rested under the same
roof with themselves, and also that they had
both, in former years, been welded to the same
lady.
Next morning they occupied seats at the
breakfast table opposite the bridal party. Their

A New Mode of Robbing Pedestrians.

A New Mode Of Robbing Pedestrians-
About two months ago an elderly gentleman,
while walking in one of our public streets, had
his watch abstracted from his pocket in very
mysterious manner. He afterwards offered a
reward of twenty dollars for it's recovery, and
stated that no questions would be asked of the
person who returned the watch, which was a
valuable family relic, when, one day last week,
while in Wall street, he was accosted by gen.
teeIy dressed man somewhat in this style:
"Sr, you lost watch some time ago, for the
return Of which you advertised reward of
twenty dollars, and no questions to be asked"
81 did" said the gentleman.
:Are you ready to pay the money agreeably
to the advertisement" said the person.
"Iam," said he.
"Well, here is your watch" .s.g ..s
The gentleman then paid the money, and nut
the watch in his pocket, remarking at the same
time, Il can't imagine how lost it,"
"Well, l will tell you," said the thief "Don't
you remember person knocking against you
the day you lost your watch!'
81 do" said the gentleman.
"Then it was" said the rogue coolly, "that
it was taken from your pocket, and will show
you how it was DONE"
The william, suiting the action to the words,
Jostled violently against the gentleman, which
somewhat disturbed his equilibrium. The lat
ter was perfectly satisfied with the explanation,
and turning upon his heel left the thief and
went chuckIing into his Office, where he told
the story to his friends, and congratulated him.
self upon his unexpected good fortune
The tale seemed so improbable to the listen
ers, not because they doubted the veracity of
tho old genteman-for he was man who had
the confidence of the commuuity-that they
burst into hearty laugh at the idea of pick
pocket being SO conscience-smitten as to re-
store stolen property.
"lf you have any doubts" said the gentle
nan. Il will show you the watch" And put
ing his hand in his pocket, to his great sur
'rise and modification he found that the thief
lad stolen his watch second time, and had es-
aped with it and the twenty dollars besides.-
