But then twill never rise TO eminence,
The least aspiring of the nazal clan,
With but a moderate love of fame or pelf {:

The 15guiline Proclaims the keenest wit,
But full of guile as any hawk or hawker'

Is everywhere a scOrner and a m"cker:
Some crooked end it secretly proposes,
Don't hang your hat on hopes or turn-up

And hence discIoses not ~ much the nature
Of mind and soul as of some other

As in a droughty time the sign must fail.

WHAT MAKES A MAN.

A truthful soul, loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind;
A spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bends the knee;
That will not bear feathers weight
OF slarcry's Chain for small or great;
That truly speaks from God within;
That never makes Il league with sin;
That snaps the fc tiers desp"s make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That wOrships God, and him alone,
And bows no more than at his throne;
That trcmhlcs at no tyrant's nod;
4 soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse or ban:
This is tie sonl that makes a Man.

BLuNpERING INTO THE TRUTH.-One OF
those magistrates denominated "basswood
justices" in a neighboring town, imagining
himself insulted by one of the townsmen
during a dispute, threatened to arrest him
for contempt of court. The plain citizen
replied that it could not be done, as the
basswood justice was not acting officially
but the latter reioined that he ''was justice
of the peace continually, from the rising of
the sun to the setting Of the same, whether
in court or out of court, and az object Of
contempt ererywhcre."

A GOOD ANECDOTE.

An amusing occurrence was related to us
few days ago. which happened in coun-
ty not far distant from Raleigh. which is
too good to be lost In the county of Il
there lived a man whom we shall call Tom
Shallow. Tom loved his glass exceedingly,
aud whenever opportunity offered was very
apt to drink too deep. He had been to town
or somewhere else, on one occasion, where
he remained till the shades of night had
gathered around him but it being bright
moonlight night, he thought he colld find
his way home although his brain was in
rather mixed condition. Accordingly Tom
sat out, and after travelling q considerable
period he thought he was long time reach
ing home. This set him to looking about,
but he still pursued his journey. and soon
came to the conclusion that he was lost
He had never been in that part of the coun-
try before, he thought. There were so many
houses ali exactly alike and all on the same
side of the road. At length he concluded
he was lost sure enough, and that he would
stop for the night at the first house he came
to.
Pretty soon afterwards Tom came upon
another house precisely identical with those
he had been passing and going up, inGuir-
ed if he could stay all night, stating that
he was belated. had got lost and could not
make his way home. 90! yes" said the
good lady of the house, 'you can stay
,,,t .,
band at home ;" inquired Tom. lyon will
find him in the house," said the lady. Well,
Tom walked in, found Il couple young ladies
seated around a cheerful fire he was hand
ed seat, and soon became sleepy when
turning to the lady of the house expressed
his desire to retire. Pointing to a bed in
one corner of the room in which they were
sitting, she told him he could sleep there.
The young ladies withdrew; the old lady
turned her back fora few moments, and soon
Tom bundled into bed.
1t did not take Tom long to fall asleep.
but some hour or two after going to bed. he
was awakened by a pulling at the coverlets
of the bed, when on opening his ewes he
found the old lady all unrobed and just in
the act of getting into bed. Tom sprang
up raised both hands imploringly, and cried
out: IL can't allow this madam: have a
wife and children at home; and can't per-
NIT such as this!" The good lady burst
out into a hearty laugh-saying. TON
Shallow, if you are fool, or so drunk that
you don't know your own house and your
own wife and children. Just own it,"
Tom was astonished; but after this reve-
latiOn he understood how he had been trav
cling around and around his own farm,
passing again and again his own house. but
thinking all the time he was lost but how
he could be so ''obfuSticated" as not to
know Sally and the gals, he never could I'M
der>tand. But whi>key has made bigger
fools out of many a smarter man than Tom
