Hold out your wrist and your pulse they will feel it.
Poke out your tongue and look at it they will,
Short visits pay you-yOur illness to heal it.
Visits much shorter you'll find than their Bill

TRUE HONESTY.

Some years ago, two aged men, near
Marshalton, traded, or according to Vir-
ginia parlance, swapped horses, on this
condition--that on that day week the one
who thought he had the best of the bar
gain, should pay to the other two bushels
of wheat. The day came, and as luck
would have it, they met half way between
their respective homes.
"Where artthou going 2" said one.
"To thy house with the wheat" an
swered the other "And whittier art
thou riding?"
"Truly,' replied the first, 1 was ia
king the wheat to thy house."
Each, pleased with his bargain, had
thought the wheat Justly due to his neigh
Dor, and was going to pay it.

Music Ar THE CApnoL.--On Fri

Music Ar THE CAp1roL.--On Fri
day night, Mrs Guicn. gave an exam
ination before the parents and friends
Of her class ii Music, At the Capitol.
The examination commenced with
questions Of "theory, with which
the young ladies proved themselves,
as proficient as in practice. Mrs.
Guion's pupils give proof Of rapid
progress, in that geatest Of all female
accomplisbments---singing. Indeed
the mere fact Of playing we'll, on the
piano, or anyother instrument, Is
Of minor Importance, to the proper cnl-
tivation, Of melodius and sweet fe-
male voice.
