A Funny Affair.

A DISTRESSED CRABB.-Several years ago a
man named CRABB, petitioned to the Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts, to change his name, be-
cause his sweetheart refused to marry him while
he was called by so unlovely cognomen. He
was unsuccessful, and the parting interview
between him and his lady-love was sketched in
the following style, which we republish for the
fun of it.
Some weeks ago we published the amusing
conversation which occurred in the Legislature
on the application of ISAAC CRABB to have his
name changed to Harrison, for which his plea
was, the sound of his name associated so many
offensive recollections of crawling nature to
his delicate sweetheart, that she made that the
only. objection to matrimonial connection with
him. On the reception of Crabb's bill by the
the Senate, the New York Transcript, with its
peculiar tact of turning every laughable Incl
dent to good account, closes the sad fate of the
disappointed lover in Grabbed tragi comedy;
thus
Now let US imagine for moment, what must
be the sad sequal of this ungalant rejection
Mr.. ISAAC CRAZE goes to visit his dulcinea.-
He knocks at the door with a trembling hand,
and while he is waiting for it to be opened. he
fancies he hears her say, "If you're Mr.. .Harri-
son come inf you're Crabb, stay outr" He
is presently admitted, and his mistress, with
doubtful expression of countenance says, sam
I to address you as Mr.. Harrison, or Mr.. -
achl oh! l cannot speak the odious name
or Mr.. -"
'Crabb, madam, my name is still Crabb; I'm
sorry to say II for your sake and for mine
The Legislature has declined my suit. But
will You also, my dulci inca, Persevere in deny
ing it? VIII you-?"
"Don't slide up to me. can't bear critter
that goes sideways. Keep yonr claws off me!''
"Ah cruel! shall l never have the pleasure
of calling you Mrs. GRADE? Shall no young
CRABBs climb upon our knees to share our af-
fections and our kisses?"
"No, I'll have no such critters poking about
me-the very thought of it makes me crawl all
over. I'm sure they must be all married men,
or incorrigible old bachelors
"Whatever they may be, there is no hope for
them at all. But why should mere name
separate two persons whose hearts are firmly
united?"
"Any other name I could abide-but to
think of sleeping with -"
ave shall both he Crabbs together"
"Not by ing full. Havn't l told you often
enough-?"
"Is that your ultmatum then? Must I re-
eede? Must retrogade? Must l advance
backwards?"
Farewell, then, most lovely cruel woman!-
Farewell, most unfeeling Legislature! Fare
well, most preiudiced, unfeeling world Fare
well, all my Joys and delights of matrimonyl-
Incontinently will / drown myself. I'll make |
my bed IN the deep water, with my fellow
CRkBBs!"

GOOD TEMPER.
BY cHARLEs SWAIN


Thero's not n cheaper thing on earth,
~ Nor yet one half so dear
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth,
Or thousands gained a year. fa
IL lends the day new delight;
''Tis virtues firmest shield;
And adds mora beauty TO the night
Than all the stars may yield.
1t maketh poverty content;
To sorrow whispers peace;
1t is a gift from heaven sent
For mortals to increase.
It meets you with smile at morn;
IL lulls you to repose;
A flower for the poor dnd peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to Danish grief away,
To free The brow from care;
Turns tears TO smiles makes dullness gay
Spreads glade ,ss everywhere;
And vet tits cheap as summer dew,
That gems the lilly's breast;
A talisman for lovers true
As ever man possessed.
As smiles the rainbow through the cloud,
When threstning storm begins
As music mid the tempest loud
That still its sweet way wins
As springs arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes the seraph TO our side,
This angel ofour home.
What may this wond'rous spirit be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright divinity
Good nature-nothing more!
Good temper It's the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lift
To bliss unknown To kings.

An EyH. OMEN lit is noticed that there is
a.singular popularity in tho making up of the
Experimentation being not a single Smith
in eithor branch. This is something that has
not occurred in long time here, and IL is
clear that no Legislature can got along that
lacks this essential. A Smith is as necessary
to a Legislature as to new colony

0F California certainly exceeds any othor

near the American Hill at this place. found a
stone, which upon being broken, presented a

rarest of curiosies. Every tree, bush, and e.

OPPOSED TO POPULAR EDUCATIoN.-The
following are extracts from an editorial of the
sssepAerd Of the Valley, Romanist paper
ublished at St Louis:
awe are not the friend of popular educa-
ton as at present understood. The popular
ity of humdug, shall never, we trust, lead
US to support il. We do not believe that the
"masses," us our modern reformers insulting
ly call the laboring class, are one whit more
happy, more respectable, or better informed
for knowing how to read"
ave think that the masses were never less
happy, less respectable, and less respected,
than they have been since the Reformation,
and particularly within the last so or 100
years since Lord Brougham caught the mania
Of teaching them to read, and communicated
the disease to large proportion of the En-
gIish nation
THE idea that teaching people to read fur
nishes them with innocent amusement, is en-
tirely false. 1t furnishes the majority of those
who seek amusement from it with the most
dangerous recreation in which they can in
dulge"

quered that country, and established there an

driven the rest into the shelter of house,
