Noah and Brevity.-Many centuries
ago, the earth wss covered with great
food, by which the whole of the human
race, with the exception of one family
were destroyed. 1t appears, also, thai
from thence great alteration was made
in the longevity Of mankind, who, from
a range of seven or eight hundred years
which they enjoyed before the Flood, were
confined to their present period Of seven.
ty or eighty years. This epoch in the his.
tory Of man gave birth to the twofold di.
vision Of the antediluvian and postdilu
Wan style Of writing, the latter Of which
naturally contracted itself into those in
terror limits which were better accomoda
ted by the abridged duration Of human life
and literary labor. Now, to forget this
event-to write without the fear Of the
Deluge before their eyes, and to handle q
subject as ifmankind could lounge over
a pamphlet for ten years, as before their
subme rson--is to be guilty Of the most
grevious error into which a writer can
possibly fall. The author Of book
should call in the aid of some brilliant
pencil, and cause the distressing scenes
of the Deluge to be portrayed in the most
lively colors for his use. He should
gaze at Noah, and be brief. The ark
should constantly remind him Of the little
time there is left for reading; and he
should learn, as they did in the ark, to
crowd great deal of matter into very
little compass.-Sydney Smith.

If Major Donelson is as unimportatt
parsonage as the Sag Nicht organs rep
resent him, why were the Democratic
leaders, few years ago, so anxious to
get him to act as editor of central organ
at Washington, that they actually seized.
grabbed, stole fifty thousand dollars of the
public money to give him to take charge
such an organ? And, if he is the un,
principled and corrupt man they now
represent him, why did he scorn TO touch
the stolen funds or defle his hands with
the vile and dirty crew!

Some days ago the captain Of ships
at anchor outside the Pass, threw over
board shark hook, baited not expect
ing in the least, as the captain himself
says, to catch anything of the fish tribe.
There was hooked, however, shark Of
he spotted kind, and, as it afterwards
proved, a regular "man eater" He had
to be harpooned before his scapture could
be effected. His size and weight may
be imagined, from the fact that it took to
hoist him in, eleven men, with a double
'llt oh the main yard
The monster measured seventeen fee,
ten inches in length from tail to snout,
and nine feet in circumference. He had
seven rows of teeth, three or the rows
being almost hidden in the upper gums.
His liver exactly flledup a beef barrel
In his paunch was found the body Of
man, in half decomposed state. So far
as could be judged, the corpse was that

silk under. shirt, cotton socks, and shoes.

The shark had also in his stomach sew

used by vessels on their riding.

ESSAY ON MAN.
ESSAY ON MAN.
AT ten, child; at twenty, wild;
At thirty, tame if ever;
At forty, wise; at fifty, rich;
At sixty, good, or never.

The other evening, young gent wa:
with several companions serenading one
Of his fair friends, and singing in artistic
style song that contained these words:
81 ne'er can tell the all | owe
To thee, my dearest love-"
At this juncture, one Sard, passing by
interrupted the flow ofmusic by the fol
lowing rough prose;
"Well, sir, If you Can't tell that youns
lady how much you owe her, | will tell
her how mitch you owe me---just one hun.
dred and seventy dollars and sixty
cents"
The effects Of this unexpected infor-
nation put a stop to the serenade for that
night at least.
