the elder sister, and evinced it for many year.
And now came the crowning scene in the sleep
er's dreaml The Duke of Hamilton, one OF the
most courted and admired of the unmarried no.
bles, and at whose approach managing manmas
famed themselves violently, so as to appear un.
concerned,and the unconscious daughters looked
down and smelt of their bouquets, whose move
ments were watched by many q glittering eye
and anxious heart; he, the young and naughty
Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, was vanqushed
by the charms of the young Elizabeth; and be
fore the end of the season, the ducal coronet was
in reality placed upon those shining tresses In
the course of fortnight from her sisters marri-
age. Louisa married the Marquis of Coventry.
The rest of their career is known to all the
world Who has not heard of the shoemaker
who made upward of two guineas by exhibiting
slipper he was making for Lady Coventry at a
penny head And also read, with amazenent,
of thousand persons who sat up all night a.
round the doors of 8 hotel to see the Duchess OF
Hamilton enter her carriage at an early hour in
tho morning2 Who would have ever dreamt
that the daughters of an humble Irish farmer
should thus become an integral part of that
naughty aristocracy of England But so it was,
and the bright haired Lizzie, who reclined be-
meath the willow, hushed to sleep by the music
of her mothers spinning wheel, lived to become
the wife of two Dukes and the mother of four !!
(For after the death of her first husband, she
married the Duke of Argyle)
There is scarcely an instance on record which
more clearly proves that truth is oftentimes
stranger than fiction" than the history of the
motherless daughters of Matthew Cunning
Lady's Wreath.

to prevail upon his servant to do the same
But in vain He persisted in spending his Sab

Because the parson is forever preaching poll

The farmer, thinking that the argument would
be overcome, if lie could only once get his ser

the servant said, There, it was just as told
you it would be; all politics from beginning tc

not word OF politics in the whole discourse. =
Yes said the servant, there was; the text was
politics. why, what was it sad the farmer
This said the servant. If the Federalisis

Good Song for a Negro.

To charm de goblin ghosts away,
While de skunk be sweets am Ainging.

True de woods --dats de song,
Callas son OF Ginger Blue
De whip.u,n-will squat on de stone,
Trows music from his fiddle;
De dancing frogs will sscash down
Outside and up de middle.
What dat! what dat, dis nigger's eyes
Displose, wild mighty big surprise,
Upon de gum tree swingin's

Rocked in de cradle OBJ be brceze
And list'ning to &c singin'.

q fellow was charged in the Glasgow Police
Court with stealing herring barrel from per,
son in Stockwell street After the charge had
been bee - proved, the principal accuser addressed the
magistrate. sir, Baille, the man at the

SoNNET.-The he following sonnet was pronounc
ed by Sidney Smith to be one of the most beau
tiful in our language:
With silent awe hail the sacred morn
Which slowly wakes while all the fields are still;
A soothing calm on every breeze is borne;
A graver murmur gurgles from the rill,
And echoes answer softer from the hill,
And softer sings the linnet from the thorn;
The skylark MARBLES in tones less shrill;
Hail light serene, hail sacred Sabbath morn;
The rocks float silently by in airy drove;
The sun placid yellow lustre shows;
The gales hat lately sighed along the grove,
Have hushed their downy wings in sweet repose;
The lowering rack of clonds forget to move
So smiled the day when the first morn arose.

VALUE OF TIME-The Roman Emperor said,
i have lost day. he uttered sadder truth
than if he had exclaimed, II have lost king
DOM
Napoleon said that the reason why he beat
the Austrians was, that they did not know the
value OF five minutes. At the celebrated battle
of Rvol, the conflict seemed on the point OF be-
ing decided against him. He saw the critical
state of affairs and instantly took lis resolution.
He dispatched flag to the Austrian head-quar-
tiers. with proposals for an armistice. The I'M
wary Austrians fell into the snare-for few
minutes the thuuders of battle were hushed.--
Napoleon seized the precious moments, and,
while amusing the enemy with mock negotia-
tons, re-arranged his line Of battle, changed his
front, and, in few minutes, was ready to re-
nounce the farce Of discussion for the stern ar
bitrament of arms. The splendid victory of Ri
voli was the result
The great moral victories and defeats of the
world often turn OH minutes. Crises come-the
seizing of which is victory, the neglect of which
is ruin. Men may loiter, but time flies, and life
flies on the wings of time and all the great in
terests of life are speeding on with the sure and
silent tread of destiny.

A CLASSICAL CoNGREssMAN.-The best Jokes
afloat in the Capital are located in the room OF
the Committee on the District of Columbia. In
a recent discussion there, legal member stated
that Congress should be liberal towards the
District. She has no Territorial or State Gov
ernment-and We consequently should watch
over her interest in loco Parenti'.' A clerical
member of the Committee, from down East, did
not relish this, and closed sophomore appeal,
by exclaiming, in true pulpit fashion-"As to t,
the genleman's insnuation that Congress should
act as loco ,1oc0 parents to this District, would
remind him that only the Senate is OF them poi

THE AMERICAN FLAG.-It is indeed strange
that the people of these United States under.
stand so little of the proper form, proportion OF
size, number of stripes even, of their own ma.
,onal flag. the glorious ..Star Spangled Banner.
The standard Of the army is fixed at six feet six
inches by four feet four inches; the number OF
stripes is thirteen, viz:-seven red and six white.
1t will be perceived that the flag is just one-hslf
longer than it is broad, and that its proportions
are perfect when properly carried out. Inc
first stripe at the top is red, the next white, and
so down alternately, which makes the last red;
The blue ''field" for the stars is the width and
square of the first seven stripes, viz:-four red
and three white. These stripes extend from the
side of the field" to the extremity of the iag.-
The next stripe is white, extending the entire
length of it. and directly under the field. in
strong aad pleasing relief then follow the re.
naming stripes alternately. The number OF OF
stars on the field is now thirty.one, and the ar

LIFE IN PARIs-The fashionable clubs in Paris
have recently been thrown into some excitement
hv the publication of the names OF the most po-
pnlar dandies, with their debts, which are to be
but up at auction and sold TO the highest bidder.
It looked All first like sort of "black list" and
nothing was talked of but horse-whipping the
impertinent scoundrels who asked for money
which belonged to them. But it soon appeared
that this publication was q matter ofform conse-
ouent upon the dissolution of a partnership, all
the unpaid bills being sold at auction 1t Great
ed good deal of astonishment that such names
should he found with such bills; for men reput-
ed to have large fortunes were found to have
bills of seven and eight years standing unpaid.

In Hartford county, Maryland, live two old
farmers who have been fast friends since boy
hood. and though both have testy dispositions
nothing has occurred TO mar the peace and har-
mony of their friendship until the last year.
when they each happened to own three year
old colt. and each thought his own "hoss" the
best. Taking good care, however, never to let
them come together, they used, when they met
to brag of the speed, and relate the perform
ances, of their respective nags The Colonel, as
one of the old gentlemen was called, could out,
brag his friend considerably, and always silenced
him by relating some extraordinary time or as,
tonishing jump his colt had made, until fies6 anc
blood could stand it no longer. One day, after
much higher jump than usual, old Jake broke
out with-"Well, swear, you are the bigges
liar in Hartford county; I5sliere you rouM ra
ther tell a lie on sir months credit than tell tn
truth for cash 1" The Colonel never said col

OvERwoRKINe THE BRAN.-An intelligent
writer in one of our large cities gives note of
warning, which many, in the present excite
ment and rush of she country, would do well to
heed. "In one of our lunatic asylums," he says,
"there are now several gentlemen, all of whom
were one year ago in full health and active busi-
ness, and in each of these cases meutsl ebera-
ton is traceable directly to overworking the
brain. They are men OF wealth and social emf
nence, and, until their sad affliction, were dis
tinguished for usefulness in the church and the
community But to these we must add per-
haps thousands of cases in which premature old
age or permanent ill-heslth and mental lmbecil-
ity have arisen from similar causes"

The division is equal, and the dividing line,
which is drawn perpendicularly across the eye,
is straight and well defined, the color changing
abruptly from blue to black. Cases are frequent
where each of the eyes is of different color

would be difficult, if not impossible, to cite an
other instance like the one in question.
