The Umbrellom0ter.
BY PUNCH,

We think the umbrella can be taken
as very good test of persons oharac.
ter The man who always takes an um.
brella out with him is a cautious follow.
who abstains from all speculation, and
is pretty sure to die rich. The man
who is always leaving his umbrella be.
hind him is one, generally, who makes
no provision for the morrow. He is
reckless, thougLtless, always late for the
train, leaves the street door open when
he goes home at night, and absent to such
a degree as to speak i'll of q baby 10 the
presence of its mamma. The man who
is always losing his umbrella 10 an un.
lucky dog, whose hills are always pro.
tested, whose boots split, whose 1 loves
crack, whose buttons are always coming
off, whose change is always sure to have
some bad money in it. Be cautious
bow you lend a thousand pounds to such
a man. The man who is perpetually
expressing a nervous anxiety about bis
umbrella, and wondering # il is safe, is
full Of meanness and low suspicious, with
whom it is not best to play at cards nor
drink bottle of wine. He is sure to
suspect you are cheating him, or that
you are drinking more than your share,
Let him be ever so rich, give not your
daughter to him he will undoubtedly
take better care Of his umbvella than Of
his wife. The man with . cotton um.
brellA is either philosopher or an econ.
omist; he defes the world and all its
fashionable prejudices, or else he does it
because it is cheaper to lose than silk
one. The man who goes to the horticul.
tural tete without an umbrella is simply
a fool, who richly deserves the duokiHg
he gets.

Washington's Farewell.

Washington's Farewell.
The following extract lie from letter
written by lady upwards of eighty years
old, residing in Philadelphia to her
grandson in Washington -
"Whcn Gen. Washington delivered his
Farewell Address, in the room Mt the
southeast corner of Chestnut and Sixth

that she would not trust herself to BE- 50

riably agitated. There was . narrow
passage from the door of entrance to The
room. which was on The east, dividing
the rowsof benches. Cen. Washington

pass to the chair. The latter ALWAYS

ruffles. He had not changed his fashion
He was short man, with a good head.
With his family he attended our church
twice a day.

black cockade. There stood the Father

The CALLlorE.-Capt Choteau Of
the steamer Amazon, plying between
St. Louis and New Orleans, has pur.
chased the steam .caliiope, made at Wor-
cester, with the right to its exclusive
use on the lower Mississippi for six
months The "grate whistle" uakss an
immense sensation on the river, and
proves to be the bes. card that the
skrewd captain could employ for filling
bis boat. At one place the people came
rushing out of church to see what the
matter could be, and at Memphis, where
the laws are strict against organ-grind.
ers, the mayor was awakened at mid.
night by the loud music, and thinking
the prescribed "furriners" were insulting
him with serenade, seized hinge club
and made tour of the city before he
found ou, the cause of his alarm. II
will be remembered that a member Of
the Springfield city government was seiE
ed with similar notion when the oalli.
ope was being displayed in that city, one
evening, and sent his servant out with .
sixpsuoe to request the unwelcome mu.
sician to "move on"

The PEARLs.-Tho Albany Evening
Journal, in speaking of this subject, says
that it would be hard to tell whether
most JOY or sorrow has been caused at
Notch Brook by the discovery of the
pearls. Dozens are bemoaning their
fortunes that, in days past, they oare.
lessly flung away. One woman unavail.
ingly sighs over some "little white
things" that ahe once gave her boys for
msrbles. A schoolmsstor lugubriously
remembers that he has chopped up eight
or ten thousand dollars worth, with his
pen.kDifo, "to see what was inside" A.
mother genius rammed q pearl bullet
down bis rife, and shot away his for.
tune. An old lady who chuckled six
months over her "good bargain with the
peddlar," now discovers that sbe paid
him in pearls, about seven thousand dol.
lars for calico dress, II 10 needless
to say that she hasn't laughed since.
The unfortunate man who had the S25,.
600 cooked for his breakfast, hes taken
to bis bed, in utter despair, and refuses
to be comforted.

The mania of locating things lin our
midst reminds us Of GAINESVILLE (Wis)
advertisement which went the rounds Of
the papers some years ago about the
time the celebrated Rock River railroad
was first projected by that enterprising
company of jeremy Diddlers, who walk.
ed into the affections and pockets of
John Bull, to the tune of q million or
thereabouts. Everybody within 80
miles of Jauesville was of conrse TO be
accommodated with railroad, and hun.
dreds Of farms were accordingly offered
for sale, each with railroad running
right through it, There was not .
building lot in the whole city but what
was advertised in the same way-lumber.
yards, stores, hotels, travelling circusses
everything in fact had railroad run.
ming right through it, Finally some
one sent to the printer au advertisement
Of a COW for sale, with directions to have
it we'll displayed, and wcrded after the
most approved fashion of taking adver.
tisements.' The astonishmeut of the
owner OF the COW may we'll be imagined
when on looking over the paper tho next
day, he found that she was advertised

her.

LEARNING TO SMoKE.-At least two
great men escaped the habit OF smoking,
IS will be learned below.
Tobacco when inhaled for The first
time, commonly produces sensations the
nature Of which, too we'll remem bersd
by those who have endured them, may
be best explained to others by likeniug
them to the horrors Of nausea ON board
ship in a storm, but with moro complete
pfostration and painful uueasiness. In
many cases one experiment is enough to
produce an unconquerable aversion to
its ever being repeated. II had this
effect with Wellington, who once, and
only once, smoked.
On the evening of his first arrival
from the peninsula, at the inn at Ports.
mouth he was induced to join the circle
of smokers; but few minutes sufficed
to fix forever his hostility to what he al.
ways considered an odious habit.
Napoleons disgust was even more
rapidly attained, though he INDUCED in
tobacco in the form of snuff, to an extent
surpassed by few. 1t is Constant who
tells OF the emperor once taking fancy
to smoke, for the purpose Of trying a
fine oriental pipe presented to him by
Turkish or Persian ambassador After
being told how to operate, he told Con.
stant to light the pipe. obeyed and
returned it to him in order but scarce.
ly had he drawn in mouthfnl when the
smoke, which be knew not how to expel
from his mouth, turned back onto his
palate, penetrating into his throat, and
came out through his nose and blinded
him. AS soon as he recovered breath
he said, Take that away from me-what
abominatioL Oh, the swine-my stom.
ach turns" In fact" adds Constant,
4" he felt himself so much annoyed for at
least an hour, that he renounced forever
the pleasure of habit which he said
was only fit to amuse sluggards." The
majority of those who snbmit to a first
trial are not thus wisely cautioned.

For the Register.
To NY Father.

THEsK LINES ARR AFFcTIoNATKLY INSCRIBED.
To thee, my father, all my Thoughts have turned
This summer day. As here, with stranger hearts
My own hath twined new sympathies, and Joys,
Fancy recalls the Past.
Twas here, amid
These towering mountains, and dark fertile wales
Thy boyhood days were pass'd. Then clustering
hopes -'A ''"9''
Hung thick, ana starlight 'rounu thy path Of life,
And Joys too bright, too beautiful to last
Were thine if
Here are their graves who made thy childhood
home
So dear place to thee that even now
tits shrine when memory loves to kneel,
And pay the homage of undying love.
know, dear Father, that old Time hath brought
No heritage of bliss as bright to thee
As fancy pictured to thy youthful mind.
The dreams of youth are fed away before
The stern realities that life doth bring
To all beneath the sky.
But 'ris joy
To feel that thou hast garner'd up within
Thy inmost soul richer harvest than
The pleasures of this earth can yield.
That thou,
When SHOWS Of many winters shed their blight
Did'st learn as age came on apace to lean
Upon the Rock OF Ages, Israels.God,
Thy portion and thy strength.
Now as wander DER these pleasant scenes
TT. n l..
And greet the cherished few whose hearts are knit
By ties of kindred with our own, so dear
Because of thee my Father, ere l learned
To know them, long ago-To-day I come
To this thy birthplace and their happy homes,
Not asking thsm to love me for my own,
But for hg sake.

of the cobbler enjoying q comfortable
