A Mailman

A workman at Lunatic Asylum, in
England, left chisel, more than three
feet long, on recent OCCASION in one Of
the wards. A furious patient seized it
and threatened to kill with it any one
who approached him. Every one then in
the ward Immediately departed from it.
At length the attendant opened the door
and balancing the key of the ward on his
hand, walked slowly toward the danger
GUS mailman, looking intently at it. His
attention, said the attendant, was imme-
diately attracted He came toward me
aad asked:
" What are you doing with that?"
Why, ] am trying to balance this key
on my hand" said I, and | can do it /;
but you can't balance that chisel in that
way on the back of your hand"
Yes, | can" said he, balancing it care
fully and extending it towards me.
{ | took it off very quietly, and without
making any comment upon it. He seem
ed little chagrined at having lost his
weapon, but he made no attempts to re-
gain it, and in short time all irritation
passed away"

Everything in it's Place.

" A grocery and provision store is no
place for the sale of rum or strong beer.
-Erchange.
There are many serious objections to
the sale of spirituous liquors at grocery
store. If a man stops at a grog-shop he
cannot plead in excuse that he called to
purchase pound of soap, or a No. l
mackerel. If he is not accustomed to
stick his nose into tumbler pretty often
he will think twice before he visits a
place where cheap rum is sold to all sorts
of customers.
" Liquors should not be sold in any
place where women and children arecom-
PEELED to go. or where they may call, I'M
suspecting that they will come in contact
with the hard cases whom barrel of rum
is as certain to attract as cask of mo-
lasses is to draw lots of flies Where
whisky is sold and tasted, even if it is
not low rum hole, the conversation is
often obscene and profane, and cannot be
listened to by the young. without causing
stains which no effort can wholly erase.

Origin Of Tea.

The Chinese have the following Madi-
ton relating to the origin of teal
" Darma, very religious prince, and
son of an Indian king, came into China
about the year $40, purely to promulgate
his religion; and, with the hope of allur-
ing others to virtue by his example, pur-
sued life of UNMARRIED modification and
penance, eating only vegetables, and
Spending fhost Of his time unsheItered by
any dwelling, in the exercise Of prayer
and devotion. After leading this life for
some years, he became worn out with IA
tlgue, and at length closed his eyes, and
Tell asleep against his will; but on ava
king, such was his remorse and grief for
having broken his vow, that, in order to
prevent a relapse, he cut off his eyelids,
as being the instruments of his crime, and
threw them on the ground. Returning to
the same spot on the ensuing day he found
them changed into two shrubs, now known
| by the name of Tea. Darma, eating some
lof the leaves, FELT such yigor impaired to
his mind, that his meditations became
more exalted, and the lethargy which
had previously overpowered him entirely
disappeared. He acquainted his disciple:
with the wonderful properties of the
shrub, and in time the use of it became
universal"

Romance in Real Life

A little circumstance was related in
our hearing last evening which partakes
of the romantic, though certainly moi
consonant with Yankee ideas of propriety
1t appears that an individual from the
|" Faderland" was employed as farm
hand in Monmouth Co., and at the same
place was a young lady Of African origin
for whom our German friend conceived a
very tender regaal, and lived together as
husband and wife. Little responsibilities
were the result Of the mutual attach
ment. The employer having discharged
the German, he, not relishing this abrupt
method of breaking up his eeniugal re
lations, conveyed the object of'his afFec-
ton to this city on Monday, for the pur-
pose of having the naptial knot tied in a
legal manner Whether he succeeded or
not we could not learn.-.State Gazette,. :
neA- A sehoolmaster advertised lately
for an assistant accustomed to con6ne
nent. He received an answer from the
mother ofStwelve children.

Stop that Boy!

A cigar in his mouth, swagger in his
walk, impudence in his face, care-for'
nothingness in his manner. Judging
from his demeanor, he is older than his
father, wiser than his teacher, and more
honored than the Mayor Of the town
Stop that boy, he is going too fast; he
don't see himself as others see him; he
don't know his speed. Stop Kim ere. to
bacco skaters his nerves; ere pride ruins
his character; ere the loafer masters the
man ere good ambition and manly
strength give way to low pursuits and
british aims. Stop all such boys! They
are legion the shame of their families
the disgrace of their towns, the sad and
solemn reproaches of themselves.

Origin of Camp Meetings.

A correspondent of the Boston Bee gives
the following version of the origin of these
popular religious gatherings 1T has
generally been supposed that camp meet
ings originated with the methodists, but
history informs MS that the Presbyterians
were stia the enterprise. | not long
since listened to a sermon upon the sub
ject, from which gathered the following
facts: Two brothers, preachers, one a
Methodist, the other Presby terian, were
travelling in the State of Tennessee
They stopped at village to spend the sab
bath. There being but one church in
the place "a Presbyterian it was agreed
they should both preach in it; the Metho-
dist officiated in the morning and the
Presbyterian in the afternoon. As they
were very Jealous in the cause, they CON
Guided to hold meeting on Monday.
The excitement became so great that
the house was not large enough to accom-
modate the multitude, and they adjourned
to grove near by, and the people came
from far and near, some bringing tents,
others covered wagons, and continued the
meetings week. Hence the name of
camp meeting, though the Presbyterians
have never made it SO prominent in their
operations as the Methodists, yet they
share equal in its origin The Method
lists have ever since observed it, and as a
body feel as mnch obliged to attend the
annual camp-meeting as Jews did their
Feasts of Tabernacles.
