1t is the best hear, that ever beat. It's pulls
tons are for liberty, for freedom, for republ
canism-all that can bless the individual, gi'
vitality and success to the state, and grandel
and strength to the nation. 1t is the heart

heart and we look upon him as one who is 9
honor to his kind, a full measured patriot,
firm and violent defender of his country, a pr,
found lover of its institutions. His heart

be right any way and how.
Have an American heart. It will fiji yo

world cannot parallel.
A venerable American judge relates the fol
lowing anecdote: The morning following tn
battle of Yorktown, / had the curiosity to at
tend the dressing Of the wounded. AmonE
others whose limbs were so much injured as Il
require amputation was musician, who hat
received a musket ball in the knee. As wa
usual in such cases, preparations were made t
lash him down to a table, to prevent the pos
sibility Of bis moving. Says the sufferer:
Now, doctor, what would you be at?'
MY lad, am going to take off your leg and
it is necessary that you should be dashed very
tightly down.
I'll consent to no such thing. You may
pluck the heart from my bosom, but you'll not
confne me- Is there fiddle in the camp? II
there is bring it to me-"
A violin was furnished, and after tuning it
he said:
Now, doctor, Begin, and he continued to
play until the operation, which took about for
ty minutes, was completed, without missing a
note ormoving muscle.
A young man, desperately in love with a
girl at Stancho, eagerly sought to marry her,
but his proposals were rejected. In conse-
quence Of his disappointment, he bought some
poison and destroyed himself. The Turkish
police instantly arrested the father Of the young
woman, as the cause, by implication, of the
young mans death, under the fifth species of
homicide; he became, therefore, amendable
for this act of suicide. When the case came
before the magistrate, it was urged literally,
by the accusers, that if he, the accused, had
not daughter, the deceased would not have
fallen in love, consequently he would not have
been disappointed, and died. Upon all these
counts he was mulcted to pay the price Of the
young mans life, which was fixed at eighty
piasters, and was accordingly exacted.
During queen Victoria visit to Paris, day
was set apart for the presentation of the di-
plomatic corps. The U. S. secretary Of lega-
ton, Mr.. Plat, attended in full court dress
cooked hat, sword and all Immediately follow
ing were two members in congress, in plain
dress, who were taken for the secretary's SER
wants and refused admission Sad must have
been the disappointment.
A patient at the Utica lunatic asylum who
was formerly doctor, while outupon stroll, |
was attracted by the cries Of a poor girl who
had fallen and broken her arm. He immedi-
ately went to work and set and splintered the
broken limb, and told the destitute mother of
the child that his bill was nothing, and went
on his way.
Man, says the anatomist, changes entirely
every seven years Then says Bob Logic,
my tailor should not ask me for the bill con
tracted in 1851 am not the same person,
hence | owe him nothing An editor out in
the west, glancing Mt his patched unmentiona-
bles, says he agrees with Bob to the very let
ter. /
A young man visiting his mistress, met a
rival who was somewhat advanced in years,
and wishing 70 rally him, inquired how old lie
was. I can't exactly tell replied the other,
but this can tell, that an ass is older at 90
than man is at COZ Beau No took his hat |
and vamosed.
Uncommonly intelligent are some Of the
coroncr's juries in Mississippi. Recently 12
men in Warren county in that State, returned
a verdict that s'the deceased died BY the will
of God, or some other disease unknown to the

The Boston Post assures its readers that the
allies in allpublic buildings, and the sidewalks
on the highways are to be widened to admit
the passage of ladies with their new fashioned
skirts. Several gentlemen have moved out Of
the city to allow their wives and daughters
room to turn round.
As all error is meanness, it is incumbent on
every man who consults his own dignity to re-
tract it as soon as he discovers it, without fear
ing any censure SO macn as tnae OF DIS own
mind. Justice requires that all injuries should
Be repaired.
What brutes your southern men are-al-
ways smokingW cigars" said young lady to
a creole Miss. Eyes, but your northern men,
IN Maine, you know, smoke herrings," was
the quick reply.
The sensitive actor, who could not sit in the
same room with tea-urn on account Of its
Kissing, has Just been killed with burst of
