STEPHEN ALIENS PocKEr PIECE
In the pocket book Of the Hon. Stephen
Allen, who was drowned from on board
the Henry Clay. was found printed
slip, apparently cut from newspaper,
of which the following is copy:
keep good company or none.-
Never be idle. If your hands can't be
usefully employed, attend to the cul-
tivation Of your mind. Always speak
tho truth. Make few promises. Live
up to your engagements. Keep your
own secrets, if you have any. When
you speak to person, look him in the
face. Good company and good conver-
sation are the very sinews of virtue
Good character is above all thing else.
Your character cannot be essentially in.
jurcd except by your own acts. Ifany
one speaks evil of you. let your life be
so that none will believe him. Drink
no kind of intoxicating liquors. Ever
live misfortune excepted within your
income. When you retire to bed. think
over what you have been doing during
the day. Make no haste to be rich if
yog would prosper. Small and steady
gains give competency with tranquility
of midd. Never play at any game Of
chance. Avoid temptation through fear
you may not withstand it. Earn money
before you spend it. Never run into debt
unless you see way to get out again.
Never borrow if you can poss bly, avoid
it. Do not marry until you are able to
support wife. Never speak evil Of
any one. Be just before you are gener-
Gus. Keep yourself innocent il you
would be happy. Save when you are
young to spend when You are old
Read over the above maxim at least once
a week.

ScESE.-A Court Of Justice in Worth
Carolina.
A beardless disciple Of Themis arises
and thus addresses the court:
"May please your worships, ard you,
gentlemen of the jury, since it has teen
my fortune, good or bad will not say,
to exercise myself in legal disquistions;
it has never befallen me to be bli.el
to persecute SO direful, marked, and
malicious an assault. A more wilful,
violent, dangerous, battery, and finally,
a more diabolical breach of the peace
has seldom happened in civilized
country. and, l dare say, it has seldom
been your duty to pass upon one SC
shocking to benevolent feelings, as this
which took place over at Capt. Ricc's,
in this county. But you will hear from
the witnesses.
The witnesses being sworn, two O,
three were examined and disposed Of
One said that he heard the noise and
did not sec the fi.ht; another, that he
saw the row but didn't know who struck
first; and a third, that he was very
drunk and couldn't say much about the
ski1mage.

with all the circumstances of the case
and who WAS able to make himself clearl,
understood by the court and jury,
should not SO long have trespassed upon
your time and patience. Come forward

So forward comes the witness, fat
shutiy old man, ''lectle' corned, and
took his oath with an air.

With the frost upon its wings.

On its Journey just begun.
And like the rain Of sorrow,
On tho foro.t's leafy floor,
Fail the tears Of tender Morrow
For the night that Is no moret
Upon the low limbs rerch;n3

For his prey among the scdxs.
And wb"rc beside their pillows,

Along the stream tho Willows
