contain much that bears the impress of the
superstitious which the people then currently
beheyed. The Harleian, the Ayscough, and
Ashmolean collections in the British Museum
offer numerous examples of what were, at one
time, articles of faith in domestic economy.
The following are some of the most curious

signing the Pledge.

Rev. John Abbott the sailor preacher. re-.
lates the following good story OF one of his
converts to Temperance:
Mr.. johnson, at the close of a cold water
lecture, intimated that he must sign the PLEDGE
in his own way, which he did in these words:
-, William johnson, pledge myself to drink
no more intoxicating liquor for one year,
Some thought he wouldn't stick three DAYS,
others allowed him a week, and few gave
him two weeks; but the landlord knew him
best and said he was good stuff, but at the end
OF the year Bill would be good soaker.
Before the year was quite gone, Mr. johnson
was asked by Mr.. Abbott:
blii amt you going to renew the pledge?"
We'll, don't know, Jack, but what will.
have done pretty well SO far will you let me
sign it again my own way?'
20 yes any way, 50 that you won't drink
He writes
II, William johnson, sign this pledge for
nine hundred and ninty-nine years, and If ly-
ing at the end of that time, intend to take
out lease for life."
day or two after, johnson went to see his
ola landlord who eyed him as a hawk does
chicken.
"0h, landlord |" whined Bill, accompanied
with sundry contortions of the body, as if en-.

That's because you have stopped drinking;

arms, back, breast, and head; you will be COW

Well, may be l will" said Bill.
"Come, Bill" said the landlord" "lets
drink together" at the same time pouring the
red stuff from a decanter into his glass gue.

signed the pledge again.

For nine hundred and ninety-nine years"
whispered Bill.
You won't live a year."
Well, if drink, are you sure the lump on
my side will go away?'
"Yes."
Well, | guess I won't drink; here's the

with hundred dollars in it; "and you saw IN

Election OF City omcers.

The result Of the election in this city, yester.
day, for municipal officers, will be seen below.
Nearly the entire Wing and Know-nothing vote,
it is believed, was polled, while hundreds Of
Democrats aware Of the power Of their oppo-
nents lin this Gibraltar OF Whiggery") to
carry everything before them" did not deem it
necessary to vote. There were but 7l5 Demo
cratic votes polled, while it is well known that
they can land probably will in May poll 200,
when their voice will be Of avail in State and
District vote. The usual Wing vote was polled
Yesterday, being about the same number that
party cast at the last Presidential election.
The Democrats Of this city, who understand
the true cause Of yesterdays vote, are not in
the least disappointed or dspirited at the result

10r 1t will be seen, from the following com.
munication to the Richmond Enquirer, that
this eminent gentleman has addressed a por-
ton of his constituents upon the general topics
OF the day, and, as usual, is greeted by them
with the fullest commentator. We predict
for him an easy time, and should, indeed be
surprised if he should even have opposition.

Though it IS nothing new in the histories
Of American cities, for their inhabitants 10
be open-handed and prompt in their efforts
for the relief Of suffering. the ready liberal
ity with which money and provisions have
been raised and forwarded for the assistance
of the unfortunate people Of Norfolk and
Portsmouth, calls for renewed cOmmen-
cation. II is common with foreigners to
