To BECOME USHAprY.-
In the first place, If you want to be
miserable, be selfish. Think all the
timo of yourself, and of your own
things. Don't care about anybody else.
Have no feelings for any one but your
self. Never think Of enjoying the sat
isfAction Of seeing others happy; but
rather, IL you see smiling face, be
jealous lest another should enjoy what
you have not. Envy every one who is
better OF in any respect than yourself;
think unkindly towards them, and
speak lightly Of them. Be constantly
afraid lest some one should aperoaSh
upon your rights, be watchfal agae9t
Il, and IL any one comes near your things
snap at him like mad dog. Contend
earnestly for everything that is your
own, though II may not be worth pin;
fer your "rights" are just az much con-
cerned ~ If IL were a pound Of goid.---
Never yield . point. Be very sensitive
and take everything that is said to you
IN playfulnoss in tho most serious man
ner. Be jealous Of your friends, lest
they should rot think enough of you
And II ct any time they should seem to
neglect you, put the worst construction
spon their conduct you can.s

WoMAHs BEAUTY
It is not the smile Of pretty face
nor the tint Of her complexion-nor the
beauty and symmetry of her person
nor the costly dress of decorations that
compose woman's loneliness. Nor is
the enchanting glance of her eye, with
which she darts such lustre on the man
she designs worthy Of friendship, that
constitutes her beauty. 1t is her pleas
ing deportment-her chaste converse
tion-the sensibility and purity Of her
thoughts-hcr affablo and open DISPOSE
tion-her sympathy with those in adver-
saty-her comfort and relieving the af
ficted and those in distress, and above
all the humblencss of her soul-that
constitution true lovliness. Beauty un-
adorned with but those Of nature and
simplicity, will shine like the refulgsnt
sun; and display to men that tho beauty
Of your person is not to be found in
tinsol ornaments Of your body; (but in
the reflection Of the rectitude and Sc
renity Of = well spent life, that scars

HOW BEN PuRTLE GOT HIS WIFE.

III" bEN r LIE 0O1 Ills - r:
A HUMOROUS STORY. & - s..t- :,
The very climax of ugliness was Ben
Purtle. He was red haired, and each hair
stood as if it cherished the supremest con-
tempt for its next neighbor. His face was
as freckled as the most bespotted turkey
|egg. His nose supported at the bridge
large lump, while the, end turned viciously7
to one side His mouth had every shape
but pretty shape. His form was as un-
couth as his face was ugly, The very CHI,
max of ugliness was Ben Purtle what was
more STILL Ben had handsome, bouncing,
blooming wife--suchs as only can be grown
upon a country farm si,i.a! =. .!!i>
s'Hew the deuce, !" said Ito Ben one day,
"did you ever get such wife, you uncouth,
mishapen, quintessence Of monstrosity? 2?
Ben was not at all offended by the imper-
Thence Of my question, and forth with began
to solve the mystery thus: - ......s- -.
Well, now, gals what's sensible amt

You know Kate was alters the purtiest gal
in these parts, and all the young fellars in
the naborhood used to try to- cotch her.
Well, fused to go over to old Sammy S too,
just to kinder look on, you know, and cast
sheep eyes at Kate. But marcy sakes!---
| had no more idea that I could get Kate
than Jerusalem cricket could hide in the
hair that wasn't on old Sammy's bald head
no sirree But still, I couldn't help going,
and my heart would kinder futter,, and my
eyes would burn all over, whenever I'd 90
| to talk with Katy And one day when
Kate sorter made fun Of me like, it almost
killed me sure ;. I went, home with some
thing like rock jostling about in my breast,
and declared I'd hang myself with the first
plow-ine I found. i .at',,,s.;Ili,jss 81 SO

esWell, then what do you mean?" said
he. Explain, yourself, There is some
mystery that don't understand :. 81
u s. know you don't understand it, dear, %
said Jenny and now that have mystifed
you allittle, will solve the riddle. ~ ~
And then Jenny, with sparkling eyes and
in her happiest mood, told him how that her
parents had died when she was quite young
and left her penniless, and in the care of her
aunt, who had adopted her, and that four
years before, wealthy uncle in England
her fathers brother-had died, leaving her
his large property, amounting to seventy
five thousand dollars, and that, as there was
counting heiresses forstheir money, she had
resolved to keep the matter secret, and
pass among people as dependent for sup
port upon her own exertions from day to
days 50 that if she was wooed at all, it might
be for herself, and not for her money; and
that for this reason she had served an ap-
premiership in milliner's shop.
.sAm I dreaming % exclaimed George,
amazed at a revelation from Jenny's lips SO
astonishing and unexpected, and which in
creased, if possible, the esteem he already
had for her, who could conceive so noble a
project and so efectually carry it out. =.
ssNo, George, it is not dream, but a
pleasing reality. You knowI said Jenny
would show her value yet I then referred
to my fortune. Of my value aside from that
it is not for me to speak. And now said
she looking confdingly in the face Of him
whose love she priced higher than all earth
ly treasures, Jenny entrusts to you herself
and her fortune, without any fears for their
future safe keeping" .'.e z =
Georges income was now amply sufficient
for his and Jenny's wants, but being one
whoabhorred idleness, he, in a few days,
opened Wholesale grocery in the city, and
was soon engaged in an extensive and -four
ishing business.

THE BURR DUEL.
4 NEW VERSION, BY JAMES PARTON.

9az4l, :, =,
ts9 n11e on5 u narF cousins arrived in town
from Connecticut, and made his way, about
eight o'clock, to Richmond Hill. Alexis,
the factotum of the establishment, obeyed his
summons at the door, and showed him into
the library, where he found Colonel Burr,
alone, and engaged in his usual ayocations.
Burr received his young relative with cor
diality, and, in every respect, as usual
Neither in his manner nor in his converse
tion was there any evidence Of excitement Or
concern, nor anything whatever to attract
the attention of his guest. Except the mas
ter of the house, not soul at Richmond
Hill yet knew aught Of that morning work;
nor, indeed, could it be said, in any sense
Of the word, that the master himself knew
what he had done.
In few minutes breakfast was announc-
ed, and the two gentlemen went to the dim
ing-room and breakfasted together. The
conversation was still quite in the ordinary
strain, Burr inquiring after friends in the
country, and the youth giving the informa-
ton sought. After breakfast, the: guest
bade his host good morning, and strolled off
toward the city, which he reached about ten
o'clock. AS he walked down Broadway he
fancied he observed in passers by the signs
that something extraordinary had occurred
or was expected. Near Wall street, an ac-
quaintance rushed up to him, hreathless,
and said ... .,.-..... =,
.Col. Burr has killed Gen. Hamilton in
duel this morning." ...-.s
"Why, no he HASN'T" replied the young
gentleman, with the utmost positiveness, II
have just come from there and taken break
fast with him." :'.'''''it'. s.'5
"But," replied the other, Il have this
moment seen the news on the Bulletin
The cousin reflected moment on the alb
solute serenity of Burr's manner, and con-
cluding that he would certainly have men,
toned so interesting an occurrence if it had
taken place, was still utterly incredulous,
and denouncing the report as false, went on
his way. Before turning into Wall street,
| he found the whole city astir; and soon had
reason to suspect that the bulletin was only
too true. So completely could Burr COM
mand his features and conceal his feelings
There was one remarkable occasion on
which Burr spoke of the duel seriously and
eloquently It was when, for the only time
in his life, he revisited the ground where it
was fought. He went there to -oblige a
young friend, who wished to see::a spot SO
famous. Leaving their boat at the foot Of
the heights of Weehawken, just where, Burr
had left his boat on that fatal morning, a
quarter of century before, they climbed
over the same rocks, and soon reached the
ground Except that the rocks were COW
cred with names, and that the ground was
more overgrown with trees, the place had
not changed in all those years nor has it
yet. 1t had changed owners, however, and
belonged to son Of Rufus King, Burr,s
colleague in the Senate, and Hamilton's
friend and ally. In the boat, Burr had been
