HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

MONDAY, Jan'y 80 I824-Mr. Sharp offered a

statement of the amount Of overfowed and
swamp lands in the several land districts of the
State, and other information in regard to the
same-which was adopted.
Mr.. Null from the joint select committee to
whom was referred the bill TO district the Stale,
reported the same back, recommending its pass
age.
Received and agreed TO.

FALSE SHAME.-Some people appear to be
ashamed TO have it known that they have to
''work for living" But they are not ashamed
of the foolish pride that originates that shame.
yet their pride is to them greater disgrace than
the greatest degree of virtuous poverty and hon
est labor. No greater evil could befall most
young men and women than to be relieved of
the necessity for labor as the records of criminal
courts, prisons and poor houses show. The
chances are much greater that young men who
are from necessity compelled to toll for living
will grow up and become respected members of
society than those who grow up in ideness, with
fortune at their disposal. While the former
are engaged in earning a reputation and com
potency, the latter are scattering their substance
in ideness and sloth.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1854-02-22

SLICK ON HAPPINEss.-I ask again, what is
happiness? 1t amt being idle, that's fact-no
idle man or woman ever was happy since the
world began. Eve was idle, that's the way she
got tempted, poor critter; employment gives
both appetite and digestion. Duty makes pleas
ure doubly sweet by contrast. When the har-
ness is off, if the work amt too hard, a critter
likes to kick up his heels. When pleasure is the
business of life, it ceases to be pleasure; and
when it's all labor and no play, work, like an
unstufed saddle, cuts into the very bone.
Neither labor nor idleness has a road that leads
to happiness-one has no room for the heart,
and the other corrupts it Hard work is the bet
ter Of the two, for that has, at all events sound
sleep--the other has restless pillows and unre-
freshing sleep; one is a misfortune, the other is
curse and money amt happiness, that's as
clear as mud.--Som Slick.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1854-02-22

K1NDvEss.-Would it not please you to pic
up string of pearls, drops Of gold, diamonds
and precious stones as you pass along the street?
It would make you feel happy for month to
come Such happiness you can give to others
How, do you ask? BY dropping sweet words,
kind remarks and pleasant smiles as you pass
along These are true pearls and precious stones
which can never be lost, of which none can de-
prive YOU Speak to that orphan chiLd-see the
diamonds drop from her cheek Take The hand
of that friendless boy--bright pearls fash in his
eyes. Smile on the sad and detected joy suf-
fuses his cheek more brilliant than the most
splendid precious stones. By the wayside, mid
the citys din, and at the freside of the poor,
drop words and smiles to cheer and bless. You
will feel happier when resting on your pillow at
the close of day. than if you had picked UP
score Of perishing diamonds. The latter fade
and crumble 10 time-the former grow brighter
with age, and produce happier reflections forever.

Music STIMULEET TO MENTAL ExERuoE.-
often before he wrote. prepared his
mind by listening to music. Almost all my
tragedies were sketched IN my mind either in the
act of hearing music, or few hours after'-a
circumstance which has been recorded Of many
others. Lord Bacon had music played ia the
room adjoining his study Milton listened to his
organ for has solemn inspirations, and music was
even necessary to Warburton. The symphonies
which awoke in the poet sublime emotions might
have composed the inventive mind Of the great
critic in the visions Of his theoretical mysteries
A celebrated French preacher, Bourdalou, OF
Massillon, was once found playing on a violin,
to screw his mind up to the pitch, preparatory to
his sermon, which, within a short interval, he
was to preach before the court. Curnn's favor
ite mode Of meditation was with his violin in
his hand FOR hours together he would forget
himself running voluntaries over the strings

was opening all his faculties for the coming

MIDDLE SEXSESSIONs.

Be5ore Mr. Sergeant EUes, Assistant Judge.
Joseph Gibbins, alias Crabb, alias Bloomfield.
allas the Grinner, was charged with stealing
pewter pot, value one shilling, from the rails Of
a house in AIilIbank street. Mr. Slasher prose
cuted, and MI Grasber defended the pdsoner.-
The Case was distinctly proved.
The Judge--Nov Joe, have you anything to
say?
Ar. Crasher objected to the prisoner beingad-
dressed as Joe. He firmly believed, upon his sa-
cred honor, that such rnsdescripton viliated the
whole proceedings. At aR events be called on
the judge 10 take note Of the polAt.
The Jtsage---I shan't Stuff and noasense.---
The objection is not worth two pence.
Mr.. Crasker.It's worth fourpence at least.
but it is quite in Keeping with all that goes on

sci ought to be slangy, judge ought not
! Mr.. CrasherI am quite prepared to hear the
/ impudence Of the bar assailed and the freedom
of speech, which every authority from Helioga-

not prevent me doing my duty.
The Judge.---Do yourduty Who stops you?
DO your duty. Who's Heliogabalus, and what's
Heliogabalus to do with Joseph Gubbings7 This
is the way the time Of the court is wasted.
M Crasler AS the court comedies the point

Mr. Crashey---I know l may.
