Correct SDeaking.

We advise all young people to ac-
quire in early life the habit Of using
good language, both in speaking and
writing, and to abandon as early as
possible any use of slang words and
phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition Of such
language will be; and if the golden
age Of youth, the proper season for the
acquisition of language, be passed in
its abuse, the unfortunate victim OF
neglected education is very PROBABLY
doomed to talk slang for life. Money
is not necessary to procure this educa-
ton. Every man has it in his power.
He has merely to use the language
which he reads, instead Of the slang
which he hears; to form his taste from
the best speakers and poets of the
country; to treasure up choice phrases
in his memory, and habituate himself
to their use-avoiding at the same
time that pedantic precision and bonn
bast which show rather the weakness
of a vain ambition than the polish Of
an educated mind,

A man on his trial for murder
having been found guilty by the evi

the following speech, which is quite
as good q warrant for the verdict iu

ons by which juries attempt to justify
thei. finding:
"Thou shalt not kill" Now, il

command as slick as grease, and as
plum asa goose egg in a loafer's face,
Gentlemen, murder is murder, wheth.

an humble individual like my client.
Gentlemen, l do not deny the fact Of
my client having killed a mani No

exonerate you9 No such thing. In
that case you will be the murderers.

Gentlemen, pledge my word not one

Ill Health an Excuse for Breach
OF Marriage Promise.

Court of Queens Bench, London,
sitting in banco, before Lord Campbell
and Justices Coleridge, Earl and
CromptOn. Hall Us. Wright. This
was an action in which the plaintiff,
Isabella Hall, sued the defendant,
George Wright, to recover damages
for the breach OF promise to marry her
within reasonable length of time
The defendant, among other pleas,
pleaded that after the said agreement,
and before the breach, he became,
and still was, afflicted with danger.
GUS bodily disease, by reason whereof
he became e, and still was, incapable of
marriage without great danger to his
life, and, therefore, unfit for the mar
ried state, whereof the plaintiff had
notice before the commencement of
the action. At the trial which took
place some time since before Mr.. Jus.
tice Earle, the jury found that it would
have been dangerous to the defendants
life to mary the plaintiff, but that the
plaintiff, had no notice thereof. The
jury assessed damages in G1O0, but
the Court earl j. directed verdict
for the defendant to be entered, and
this verdict was affirmed by the full
bench.

Bringing am Obstinate Juror TO
his Senses.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel gives the
following account of a method adopt
ed recently in its town to overcome
the objections of an obstinate juror
Persuasion and starvation are the
approved common-lav methods of
producing the above result, but nov
el method was lately tried in this
town. BY some means fellow juror,
an utter stanger to all his brother ju-
rors, was placed upon the jury, who
diSsehted from the verdict agreed to
by the eleven. They came to joint
conclusion of guilty, without delay,
but the stranger pertinaciously held
out against them. After an hour Of
argument, with no avail, it was at last
proposed that the jury should return
a verdict Of guilty by eleven jury
men, who believed the other one to be
a confederate Of the prisoner, and as
great a rascal This ended it; the
stranger saw twenty vigilance COM
mittees in his minds eye, and in five
minutes the jury unanimously return
ed a verdict of guilty.

SHAKING HAEps.-The mere offer
of the hand is the readiest sign ofvol-
untary courtesy or forgiveness, and
its noncompliance the most civil yet
meaning Of repulses. Shaking hands
is mode of greeting, the origin Of
which is lost in obScurity. Individu-
ais display character in their mode Of
ofso doing. Who cannot feel at once
the antagonism between the touch ofa
prude and the cordial grasp of a friends
Who knows not the sailors grip of
candid heartiness, from tho conven-
tional giving of handsp How per-
fectly does. the graduated or lingering
pressure cause the mercury in loves
barometer to rise or fall by the scale
Of hope. What sympathies and an
tipathies are demonstrated by the va
riouS degrees of kindly, irresolute, vi
vaciouS, careless, fond, or earnest man

COOPERATION OF THE WIFE.--There
is much good sense and truth in the
remark of a modest author, that no
man ever prospered in the world with
out the cooperation of his wife. II
she unites in mutual endeavors, or
rewards his labor with an endearing
smile, with what confidence will he
resort to his merchandise or his fai m.
fly over land, sail upon the seas, meet
difficulty, or encounter danger, if he
knows he is not spending his strength
in vain, but that his labor will be re-
warded by the sweets ofhomel

KICKING AN OLD HAT.-The Whee-
ling MteLLigencer gives a very anus
ing instance of the consequences of
Of ofkicking an old hat. A mischieve-
ous boy procured a dilapidated old
hat, and placing a couple of bricks
in it, stood the weather beaten beaver
upright upon the pavement, and
screened himself behing q shed to
await the result. Presently a man
came along and gave the hat a violent
kick, as the boy had anticipated
The man ran limping about for some
time, suffering the most excruciating
pain, and the boy gave a loud laugh
from his retreat. The enraged man
approached and slapped the boy upon
the side Of the face, which turned the
the latter's tune into shrill cry
The boys father then came ont and
inquired the upshot Of the fracas.--
Upon learning the principal points, the
father walked up and kicked the man
who kicked the hat, and a tussel oi
some few seconds, duration ensued, in
which the parent came out second
best. After the fight the matter was
cussed and discussed at some length
The father Of the boy contended that
his son was not to blanche didn't
tell any body that the hat was empty.
No man had right to take it for
granted that the hat did contai n brick
He couldn't sec why his son should
suffer because a "d--d green horn"
happened to kick an old hat. The
old hat is likely to lead to a law
snit.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1858-07-22

SELF REsPEoT.-Keep up a good
opinion of yourself not a vain one.
but a good solid respect, which shall
stimulate you to higher and purer
thoughts, words and actions. The
man who relies on his own respecr
will never be mean, for though no
body else ever knows it, he himself
will, and that should be enough to de-
ter him from petty deeds.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1858-07-22

U THE St.Louis papers are tel.
ling good story of an individual who
purchased hat in store kept by a
tradesman named Dodgion. The ar
tical was got in the absence of the
proprietor, and'the purchaser left the
store, entirely forgetting (by mistake
Of course) to pay for the aforesaid
&" tile," The tradesman, upon hear
ing the facts, started for the levee in
hot pursuit Of the delinquent. Upon
overhauling him the following scene
occurred:
"see here, sir, I wish to speak with
you"
"Move on"
81 am Dodgion, the hatter."
"That's my fix"
81 tell you, lam Dodgion, the hat
ter"
$50 am l; am dodgin' the halter
too-and very likely we are both of u'
dodgin, the same chap"
The scene ended with a "striking'
tableau, in which Mr.. Diddler found
himself considerably "mixed up" with
"Dodgion, the halter"

in the Patent Office at Washing
ton, there are many objects Of interest
connected with the government and
those who have administered its af-
fairs in times gone by. While exam
lining some of these objects of curios-
ity, when in Washington, in Decem.
ber last, there was nothing that struck
us so forcibly as the samples of small
locks Of hair, taken from the heads of
different chief magistrates, from Wash
ington down to President Pierce, Sc
cured in a frame, covered with glass.
Here is, in fact, part and parcel of
what once constituted the living bod
les of those illnstrious individuals,
whose names are as familiar as house
hold words, but who now live only in
history and the remembrance of the
past.
The hair of Washington is nearly
pure white, fine and smooth in its ap.
pearance.
That of John Adams is nearly the
same in color, though perhaps little
coarser.
The hair of Jefferson is Of a differ
ent character, being mixture ofwhite
and auburn, Or sandy brown, and
rather coarse. In his youth, Mr..
Jeferson's hair was remarkable for its
bright color.
The hair of Madison is coarse and
of q mixed white and dark.
The hair of Monroe is a handsome
dark auburn, smooth and free from
any mixture whatever. He is the on
ly President, excepting Pierce, whose
hair had undergone no change in col
or.
The hair of John Quincy Adams
is somewhat peculiar, being coarse,
and of yellowish gray in color.
The hair of Gen. Jackson is almost
perfect white, but coarse in its char
acter, as might be supposed by those
who have examined the portraits OF the
old hero.
The hair OF Van Buren, is white
and smooth in appearance.
The hair Of Gen. Harrison is a fine
white with a slight admixture Of
black.
The hair Of John Tyler is a mix
ture of white and brown.
The hair of James K. Polk is al
most a pure white.
The hair of Gen. Taylor is white,
with a slight admixture Of brown.
The hair of Millard Fillmore is, on
the other hand, brown, with a slight
adlnixture Of white.
The hair of Franklin Pierce is o
dark brown, of which he has plent'
liful crop.
