will be found in nearly nincty.nine Of

faith behind, and an object and hope
before it. So, too, with success in what.

SOMETHING FOR THE LADIEs.-The
London Gazette contains some impor.
tant information for the ladies in regard
to the manner Of placing their lips when
they desire to look amiable. dignifed,
&c. 1t says that when a lady would
compose her mouth to bland and Sc.
rene character, she should, just before
entering the room say Bosom, and keep
The expression into which the mouth
subsidies, until the desired effect upon
the company is evident. If, on the
other hand, she wishes to assume dis.
tinguished and somewhat noble bearing
no: suggestive Of sweetness, she should
say Brush, the result OF which is infal.
lible. If she would make her mouth
small and pretty, she must say Flip;
but if the mouth be already small, and
needs enIarsing, she mus, say Cabbage.
Ladies, when having their dagurreotypes
taken, may observe these rules with
some advantage.

Gen. Jackson and the Clerk.

Many of our readers will recollect
the point of the following joke, which
we heard related "long time ago." but
we never saw it in print"
While General Jackson was Presi.

mented day after day, by importunate
visitors, (as most chief Magistrates Of
this great country are,) whom he did not
care to see-and in consequence gave
strict directions to the messenger at the
door. to admit only certain persons on
particular day, when he was more busy
with State affairs than usual.
In spite Of the peremptory orders, how.
ever, tho attendant bolted into his apart.

the General that a person was outside
whom he could not control, and who
claimed TO see him orders or no orders.

"Who is it?"

"a woman! Show her in, James,

his face, an6 the next moment there en-
tered the Generals apartment neatly
clad female, Of past the middle age, who
advanced courteously towards the old
gentleman, and accepted the chair prof

"Be seated, madam" he said.
"Thank you," replied the lady, throw
ing aside her veil, and revealing hand
some face to her entertainer.
"My mission hi.her to-day, General,

MR.. PEPPERS WIFE.
HOW HE SHUT HER UP.


"Mrs. Pepper, | labor under the i'm
preston that it is high time you were
getting breakfast. As my former house.
keeper understood all my wishes with
regard to these things, found it unnec.
essary TO give any orders respecting
them but with you it is different. As
you have neve, got meal in this house,
Of course you know nothing Of the reg
ulations of the household
"In the first place you will make a
fire in the kitchen, &C., then you will
make a fire in here. That done, you
will cook the breakfast and bring it in
here, as have always been accustom.

consider it necessary TO depart from that
custom on your account but should
you prefer it, you can eat in the kitch.
en-, as it is perfectly immaterial 10 me
where you eat"
This occurred the morning after Mrs.
Pepper went to housekeeping. Mrs. Pep.
per was a sensible woman-she made
no reply to Mr.. Peppers commands /;
but as soon as her toilet was finished she
left the room, and sitting down in the
kitchen, she thus ru minated.
"Make the kitchen fire /! Yes, I'll
do that. Then make fire in the bed
room I'll see to that, too. Then take
the breakfast to his bedside 7! Just see

and thought deeply for few minutes,
when. apparently having arrived at a
satisfactory conclusion, she proceeded 10
business.
Having got nice fire kindlel in the
kitchen, she carried some coal into MIR.
P.'s apartment, and filled up his stove,
having ascertained that there was not a
spark of fire in it. That duty perform
ed, she next prepared the breakfast ol
which she partook with a great relish
and after matters and things we're all set
TO rights in the kitchen, she went down
town on shopping excursion.
Meanwhile Mr.. Pepper began to grow
impatient. He "labored under the i'm
preston that the atmosphere Of his room
did not grow warm very fast, and he be
gan to feel unpleasantly hungry. Peep
ing out from behind the bedcurtains, he
saw how affairs were with regard to ,ht
stove. Something like suspicion o
the real state Of affairs began to dawr
upon his mind. He Iistentd for a fev
minutes, but all was still about tn
house.
Hastily dressing himself, he proceed
ed to investigate the sffair. He sool
comprehended the whole Of it, and wa
very wrathful at first; but he comfofte'
himself with the reflection that he ha
