WILLIAM B. AsTgH.-The Few York

the h-ppiest man in New York, is rerh.p
perhaps one Of the most discontented. He
is in law with his tenants about one h.lf
the time, and instead of taking the world
kindly, be spends eight hours of ten in
reading upon the statues of fraud. As,
ter's income is $4,000 day, and yet W,

that the man who makes $l5 a week ia
just as well of as Aster is Persons who

pure air, and unadulterated health. Nearl

DR. KANE,-Judge Kane, in a recent

DR.. KANs,-Judge Kane, in recent
letter, says Of his son;
"His characteristic with us was his sensi-
bility to conscientious impulse. 1t was this
which carried Kim the second time to the
Polar Sea. and had God spared him, would
have made him return there again; for he
believed, as none but the true hearted can
believe anything, tina. some of Franklin's
party were still alive, and that it YVES his
mission to reclaim them. He had child
like fondness for the affections of home;
but this, and zeal for science, and ombi-
ton of fame, and all else that could connect
itself with motive was subordinatcd to this
one great conviction Of duty.

Strange case Of somnambulish,


A young lady, Miss Mary stan,) a niece
Of A, LOOMS, Esq, Of Fulton, says the
Fulton Patriot, who is living with her uncle
and attending school, has of late been and
is the most singular and extraordinary
somnambulist of whom we have ever heard.
At night, after she has fallen asleep, she
gets up, lights lamp, AMI taking & paper
and pencil, writes several stauzes of poe"
try. Her uncle, one night, fearing that
some accident might occur from sleeping
person having burning lamp 10 her hand
took the preclution to remove the lamp
from her room and beyond her reach
That night she arose in perfect darkness
wrote another piece OF poetry, which, upon
examination by daylight, was found to be
well written, correctly spelled and pune
tuatcd, aud the roled lines as accurately
followed they could have been done by the
best penman with a good light, And this
has been repeated from night to night, each
time n new piece being produced. She
ha no knowledge of the matter herself
cannot repeat word of the poetry she pro-
duces, and insists that she does not write it,
Her friends watch her closely, and have
interrupted her while writing, when she
seemed like one aroused from deep slum-
Der, and cannot finish the line, or even the
next word of the stanzas she happens TO be
writing If her writing materials are re
moved from her room, she rises, and find
ing them missing, proceeds to search draw
ers, trunks, etc in the dark, with as much
case as another would do it by day, Size
has sometimes f4llen into this condition in
the day time, when her writing impulse
comes on,

To APPRENTICES When serving your
apprenticeship you will have time and
opportunity to store your mind with useful
information. The only way for young
man to prepare himself for usefulness, is
to dev te himself to study in his leisure
hours. BE industrious in your business
be frugal-bo economical, never complain
that you are obliged to work; 50 to it
with alacrity and chcorfulness, and it will
become a habit, which will make you re-
spected and beloved by your master or
employer; make it your business to see to
and promote his interest; by taking care
of his, you will learn to take care of your
own. Young men at the present day are
not fond of work. You must avoid all
wishes to live without laborj labor is
blessing instead Of a curse, it makes your
food, clothing and everything necessary,
and frees you from temptation to be dis
honest.

SuocKI2G.-A short timo since, man
who keeps a grocery in the vicinity of
Fairyiow, Ohio, some distance out on the
National Road west, came TO Wheeling
and bought n barrel cf molasscs. He
took it home and commenced retailing it
in small quantities to his customers, all OF
whom were attacked with strange sort of
sickness, from which, however, they speed
lily recovered. No one could account for
this singular fact, until the molasses barrel
was pretty well drained and the head
knocked out of it, when the whole commu-
nifty was astonshed at the discovery Of a
negro child, about eight days old, inside
of the barred. The child was lying in the
bottom of the barrel in a state of partial
puhefaction.

A POOR BOY IN LONDON.

Young people in our favored land have
very little idea OF the sutferngs Of
the poor in England and elsewhere The
following little sketch will give them some
idea cf the truth &:
Upon one of my visits to tie various
ragged schools Of the metropolis, I be-
came very much interested in lad Of ten
to eleven years Of age, with frank, open
countenamcc, though somewhat dirty, and
dressed in a suit of rags. He was read
ing busiIv in his Testament, and would
stop occasionally and ask such curious
questions Of his teacher, that | could but
smile. His practical observation on Ger.
tain portions of Scripture, if clothed in
eloquent language, would have done hon
or 10 men of education. There was a
free heartedness in him that cleaned out
through all his rags and dirt, and | sat
down by him to ask him some questions.
where do you live, and how = | ask
ed.
4 live where can he replied, 'and
almost bow | can
But said |, what is your trade or bu
siness! What do you generally do for a

and get up every morning at two O'clock
and go on foot three or four miles, and
sometimes six or eight, to the edge OF
the city TO buy water.cresses. get a
basket Of them for shilling. and by
crying them the whole day, generally
clear another, which pays my board and
lodging.
But can YOU live.on a shilling day g
| asked.
Yes, pretty well but many times |
don't make shilling, and then | buy a
crust Of bread, and go to sleep under
one Of the arches Of the London Bridge,
or in some crete or box down on the
wharvcs.
Just then the superintendent come
a'ong and AS | took his arm, he said
The lad YOU have been talking with

ailh )uch lie cannot get to sleep before
ten o'clock, and he is obliged to be up at
TWO IN the morning, yet he is always
punctuaI. Not long since his mother was
imprisoned for arrearages in Eer rent -
the sum needed was ten shiIings. Well
this poor boy almost starved himself, anc
: slept out Of doors TO save the money ou
OF his scanty eanings, to release her from
prison.

boy aud in my eyes he was truer hero

How TO MAKE WATER CoLD Wrrn-
OUT lcE.-lhe following description of
method Of rendering water almost as
cold AS ice, has been going the rounds OF
the press Tor many years. Just now it is
aga;n in season. and we copy it for the
benefit of those of our readers who either
have not the opportunity or the inclina-
tion TO purchase ice Let the jar, pitch.
er or vessel used for water be surrounded
with one or more folds Of coarse cotton
to be constantly vet. The evaporation
of the water will carry off the heat from
the inside and reduce it to q freezing
point. ln India and other tropical climes,
where ice cannot be procured, this is com
mon. Let every mechanic and laborer
have at his place Of employment two pit
chers thus provided and with lids and
covers, one TO contain fresh water for
drinking, the other for evaporation, and
he can always have supply Of cold Wa.
ter in warm weather.
