SIMULTANEOUS.
a EigIlting Tailor.

The celebrated dandy. Beau Brummetl,
usgd to relate the following anecdote OF his
tailor :-"Thdt fellow, Weston, is an IN
imiiable felow--a lltile defective, perha ps
in his Innings, bntirrep roaohable for prin-
cipIe and huftan-hoies. He came 10 Lon
don, sir, wisboa; 4 sb,lline; and he counts
more realized thousands than our fat friend
does 'lrogs' on his Brandsnbers. He j,
not only itch, but brave not only brave,
bu, courteou not only courteous, but can
did. ] he Other day be was coming up
from some place Oh the coast, by that
thing, the--t.e-stage-c oach. There were
two women in The coach, two decidedly
pretty women, ard an over dressed fellow,
who was, of course, an ass and " bo was
so over-eivil to the prettier Of the two,
that the prosecuted creature appealed to
the quiet little Weston for protectIon.-
Weston, sir talked 10 the fellow with an
ap{omp Il at would have done homage to
either Of my friends the Lord prlmate OF
the Lord Chancellor The brnte--not the
tailor. bo, the gentleman was deaf to
remonstIance and ruder than ever. There
upon, Westci, stopped the coach dragged
the dstonished fellow out explained 10 the
outside passengers the state of the case,
and found his challenge TO fight received
with acclamations by ever, body bu. his
opponents He compelled his unwilling
adversary, however, 10 stand upon the de-
fensive, and a mos. terrible thrashing he
gave him. But his coup de grace. sir, was
the most finished thing ever heard of =
Weston, sir, picked him up Gom the
ground held him a. arms length, and in a
cruel, loud voice, exclaimed to him, Now,
sir. it may be a pleasure to you and "a
-four friends TO kno.r that you have uot
only been well hcked, but you have been
licked by tailor ="

POETRY.
SONG.

A mnd reclincd beside stream
At fall OF summer day
And, half awake and half dream,
She watched the ripples' play;
She marked the waters fall and heaee,
The deepening shadows throng,
And heard, as dafkened down the eve,
The rivers ba5blng song
And thus it sung, with tinklng tongue,
That ripping shadowy river
"louth's brightest day will fade away,
Foreter and foreter!"
The twilight past, the moon at last
Rose broadly DER the night,
Each ripple CLEANS beneath her beams,
As wrought il. silver bright.
The heaving waters glide along,
But mingling with their voice,
The nightingale now Pours his song,
And makes the shades rejoice.
And Tits he song. with tunqtul tongue,
That bird beside the river
"W ben youth is gone, trae love shines Oh
Forever and forever p

NEVER REPREss Your TEAH5,--A
lengthy dissertation has recently been pub
ished by physician IN France, OH the
bene iicIal influence Of aroanlng and crying
Oh the nervous system. He contends tina,
grooming aud crying are two grand oper-
atoms by which nature allays anguish
that he has uniformly observed THAI those
patients who gave way to their natural
feelings, more speedily recover from acel-
dents and operations than those who sup
pose that i, is unworthy man to betray
such symptoms Of cowar1ice as either to
eroan or cry. He is always pleased By the
crying and violent roaring of prtient dur
ing the time he is undergoing a violent
surgical operation, because he is satisfied
that he will thereby soothe his nervous
system so as 10 prevent the fever aud in-
sure a favorable termination. He relates
the case of a man who, by crying and bawl-
ing, reduced his pulse fiom one hundred
and twenty-six to sixty, in the course OF
two hours. That some patients often have
great satisfaction in groaning, and that
hy stercal patients experience great relief
from crying are facts which nc person will
deny. As to restless and ypochondrlcal
scbjects, or those who are never happy
bu, when they are under sonle course of
medical or di.eetie treatment, The French
surgeon assures them they cannot DO bet
ter than to groan all day and cry all night.
