A MatrimOnial GaIe.

An amusing anecdote has of late been going the
rounds OF Partisan society. 1t matters but little
whether the heroine was French or Spanish; it is
enough that she was wise, and young and pretty.
One day it happened that the lady, in rummaging
about her chamber, found pair of white satin
shoes.
Good she said, there is ball this evening;
will put them on
She tries to do it, but the shoes are too small
The husbend appears during the process
What shoes are theset demanded the wife,
pushing towards him with the end of her toe the
white satin slippers.
What shoes?' They are yours, suppose
That is probable, since can not get them on.
Look here
'Ah, you have grown stout pursued the hus-
band; you dance so muchh
The wife pepled--the husband insisted and
the shoes flew out of the window
Eight days after, the husband, while looking for
pair of gloves, found one, which he attempted to
put on. He passed in one finger he passed in two
but the hand would not pass; yet the gloves had
been worn.
e! Madame, what is this!' he demands, hold
ing out the glove the tips of his fingers.
"A glove replied his wife, TRANQUILITY.
'Parcon, | know that very we'll But whose
is it?'
Yours, apparently
But you see it is impossible to get it on; yet
some body has worn it,
'Ah the gloves, then, probably belong to the
same person the shoes
The husband was disposed to be angry. The
wife began to laugh.
4 found the shoes, you found the gloves; we are
even'
The husband pouted for twenty-four hours, after
which he wished to sign a treaty of peace They
negotiated, and the lady consented A cloak, bor
dered with Russia sable, paid the expenses of the
war.
In accepting it, the lady smiled
Am not goodn said she. will tell you, now,
that the gloves belong to my cousin, who lent them
to me to help me to revenge myself. Give them
back to me, and if | find no more shoes, you will
find no more gloves

NAVAL ETIQUETTE. Commodore Breese, COM
mander of the American squadron in the Mediter-
ranean, seems to have ruffed the dignity of some
of the French and English Admirals on the sub
jeet of naval etiquette. The Constantinople cor
respondent of the London Times writes, that on a
recent visit to Constantnople, Commodore Breese
did not salute the English Admiral, but on coming
to an anchor, sent on board the Admirals ship to
know why he had not saluted. The course of the
dispute and its settlement are thus narrated
8" 1t was politely ntimated--so the story runs
to Brother Jonathan that it was his place to have
first saluted the officer of higher rank. By no
means, retorted the gentle Breese from across the
water; s q commodore being the highest officer in
the American service, is of equal rank with an
English Admiral'
The consequence was that no body saluted and
the powder was saved. But then arose another
difficulty; who was first to call upon the other
the commodore ON the admiral, or the admiral on
the commodore, who esteemed himself his equal? a
knotty point demanding grave deliberation. If
am rightly informed but make every reservation
when speaking of SO grave a subiect--the difficulty
was at last settled thus the English faglieuten-
ant paid his respects on board the American steam
er; the American fag-captain called on the English
hag-captain, who returned his visit the commo-
dore then called on the admiral, and the admiral
called on the commodore Thus were all conflict
ing interests and points of etiquette satisfactorily
reconciled"
A similar incident occurred at Smyrna, where
the Commodore recently lying with his ship.
According to French Journal two French men
of-war entered, and the American Commodore re-
fused to fire the ordinary salute, at which the
French sailors were so exasperated that they cried
out for war against the United States immediately
The French journalist says that these acts of
rudeness' on the part of American commanders
have become so frequent of late, that some measure
for its correction is called for The Paris cores
pondent of the New York Commercial says that he
recently had conversation with Commodore
Breese, in which he complained of the difficulty to
which this misunderstanding between nations in
regard to the rank of Commodore gave rise. He
declared that such misunderstanding should be no
fault of his and that he should assert and maintain
his rank under all circumstances We think the
Commodore is right, and hope he will be sustained
by our government.

DANIEL WEBSTER. The following portrature of
Daniel Webster, is by Ralph Waldo Emerson

DANEL w EBsTER Inc following portra1ture OF
Daniel Webster is by Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Mr Webster had natural ascendency of as
pect and Carriage which distinguished him above
MS cotemporaries His countenance, his figure, his
manners, were all in so grand style, that he was
without effort, as superior to his most eminent
rivals as they were to the humblest so that his
arrival in any place in this country drew crowds of
people to satisfy their eyes, who could not see him
enough. He did not dsappoint the eye nor the
ear lie was fit figure in the landscape. | re-
member his appearance at Bunker Hill. He knew
well that little more or less of rhetoric signifed
nothing. lie was only to say grand things when
he had them; If not then to abstain from saving
unit things. 1t was place for behavior more
than speech, and Webster walked through his part
with entire success The perfection of his elocu-
ton and all that thereto belongs attitude
manner--we shall not soon find again Then he
was SO thoroughly simple and wise in his rhetoric.
he saw through this matter, hugged his facts close
though he knew how to make such exordiums and
peroratlons as would not embarrass his march or
contound his transitions. We saw them in order
as they were. Though he knew very well, on oc-
caslons, how to present his personal claims, yet in
his argument he was intellectual and kept his fact
bare OF personality that his splendid wrath,
when his eyes became lamps was the wrath of the
cause he stood for. His power was not in excellent
parts, but was totally different. He had a great
ana everywhere an equal property. He worked
with that closeness of adhesion to the matter in
hand which joiner uses, and had the same quiet
fitness OF place that an oak or mountain might
have After ALL there remained that perfect pro-
priety, so that his beauties of detail were endless
He seemed born for the bar, for the Senate. He
took naturally very large part in public and pri-
vate affairs; for his head disturbed things in their
places, and what he so well he compelled other
people to see also. All, great is the privilege of
eloquence What gratitude does every human
being feel to him who speaks we'll for the right
who translates truth into language entirely plain
and clear

What funny world is ours
Very funny;
Full of thorns and full of flowers
Full of money;
But the last is hard to get;
What pity.
Many are in need of it;
In the city,
In the village, in the town,
Men are wandering up and down,
Through the vallies, DER the hills,
Selling notions, vending pills,
And his land the farmer tills,
All for money
That is funny.
What funny land is ours
Very funny;
Full of sunshine, full of showers,
Full of money.
Magic money, passing strange
Is thy power.
Mortals change about for change,
Every hour.
Priests and eobblers take their tolls,
Blessing, patching up our souls,
NllSerS strive TO ONerreacn,
Plowmen leave their plows to teach,
Dashing dandies pray and preach,
All for money;
That is funny.
What funny land is ours
Very funny;
Full of sweets and full of sours,
Full of money.
On the wings Of gold men trust
To be carried,
And at last in gold dust,
To be buried
Money, money, is the rage,
In this truly golden age,
Penny catching shops abound,
Concert singers go around,
Numbering all harmonious sound,
All for money;
That is funny
What a funny world is this
Very funny;
Full of misery, full of bliss,
Full of money.
For it people toll and slave,
Striving ever,
From the cradle to the grave,
Ceasing never.
Actors will, upon my word,
Doubly murder Richard Third.
Landlords will the hungry feed,
Doctors amputate and bleed,
Lawyers, lovers, lie and plead,
All for money;
That is funny.
What a funny world is ours
Very funny;
Full of cabins, full of towers,
Full of money;
Bridges made to get to Heaven,
Soon are rotten;
The camel and the needles eye,
Is soon forgotten;
Editors and printers toll,
Authors burn the midnight oil,
Politicians speeches make,
Burglars heads and houses break,
Men will all advantage take,
All for money;
That is funny.

COLD WATER. There is magic in the simple ell
ement. 1t imparts new life to the sluggish system,
and the skin blooms again with the blush of health
returning There is luxury in the application of
water The parched skin eagerly and gratefully
absorbs it. A welcome glow creeps over the frame
like the kiudling of new life in the veins For
ages how the sick and afflicted have parched and
died for the want of water. While health and life
has danced and laughed in the sunbeams by the
very doorsl nature in the sick room has been con-
sumed with burning fevers and gasped for that
which bengnant Father has sent gushing, and
leaping, and singing everywhere, in its heavenly
beauty and purity.
| remember the palmly days of the regular
system. For weeks | have lain tossing with fever,
gasping for cool breath of air and moaning for
water. But horrible the window was hermetica-
ly sealed to exclude the least breath of air Thro
the steaming window could see the pure bracing
sunlight of the passing autumn, and how longed
to look out upon the scene. But that and water
was refused me. The stand looked like small
drug shop, and the close room smelled like it. One
night while all others were asleep | found the
water pail and took an alopathic dose of cold
water. On again getting into bed | fell into
sweet slumber and perspired profusely, In the
morning | greeted the day with new hope and
vigor.
"Ah," said the old doctor as he felt my pulse
chat last medicine did the work-hes doing fine
ly!"
Little did he think that the last medicine was
copious dose of cold water II w Broacne.
