Gen. HeustOn's Prescription to a A" Bore"

Among the guests at the st. Nichols
Hotel, New York city, was General Sam
Houston, of Texas. The General is, as
all his acquaintances well know, fond Of
mirth and fun, and, in short, is what Doe
sticks would call p. B,-perfect brick
The General, however, entertains an in
tense hatred for that species of humanity
calledw bores."

soft headed animal-a regular buttoh-hol-

A Horrible Operat'on.-Col. Churchill,
in work entitled " Lebanon" thus de-
scribes the mode in which the terrible
punishment of cutting out the tongue was
performed on certain emirs, by order of
Djezzar Pasha:
Each emir was held down in squat
ting position, with his hands tied behind
him, and his face turned upwards. The
officiating executioner now approached
his victim, and standing over him, as if
about to extract his tooth, forced open his
mouth, and darted hook throuhh the top
of his tongue, pulled it out until the root
was exposed one or too passes OF razor
sufficed to cut it off.
Increditable as it may seem, it is assert
ed on what appears to be creditabie au-
thority, that some of those who undergo
this fearful punishment are afterwards
able to speak with sufficient plainness to
make themselves understood.

A TRUE STORY,
LOVE AND IT'S CONSEQUENCES.

1t was in the springtme of sc, just
as the king of day was lifting his sllvered
locks above the Eastern Clouds that a
joyous group had assembled in the town
of =, for the purpose of holding
sweet converse with kindred spirits
While cxhilerated with the pregnant air
Of spring, they would link with to-day
the recollections of past delights, and
grasp with anxious minds, and dwell with
ecstacy on happy anticipations, There
was no downcast looks, troubled hearts
or traces of disappointment stamped on
the brow of this little assembly. But on
the contrary, each and every soul break
ing it's fetters free as the arctic dove,
would rise triumphant through the seen
ted ether then for while playing with
the morning zephyr, would descend and
bask for time in the sunshine OF Flo
ra's virgin garden.
This was a beautiful morning, sugges-
tive of happiness, joy and peace. 1he
diamond sunbeams were just STOPPING to
kiss the honeyed dew-drops from the
blushing rose, when blue-eyed maiden,
Jealous of its wasting sweetness, pressed
it to her lips, that she might mingle her
breath with the dew of heaven. This
was a delectable spot for scenes of mirth-
full pleasure, and was considered as
rendezvous Of all pleasure seekers in town
and vicinity, where all dull cares were
dissipated as humid vapor before the ris-
ing Of an April sun. The cause of its
being so trequented was doubtless at
tributed to beautiful spring of crystal
water, which gushed in playful melody
from a hidden rock in the centre of their
circular summer house. All who entered
within its summer bowers were compell-
ed at once to acknowledge romantic feel
ing, when they would look for moment
at the beautiful festoon of roses which
nature with kind hands had interviewer
in the neatly finished lattice work.
While some were contemplating with al
most rapturous gaze the beautiful deco
rations within, others were looking as if
drawn by some mesmeric Influence, on
the lovely and grass-grown field, spotted
now and then with every variety of wild
flowers, which we're scattered by the
morning wind, and which whispered in
fragrant breaths, of JOY and love around
this seeming habitation of fairies. In
this little group there were some whose
dispositions allowed them to be more
cheerful than the rest, though there was
happy smile playing upon the counte'
nances of all. There was one present
Clarence Wayland, who bore upon his
lofty brow marks of belligerent char
acter, and was apparently of reckless
nature. He was in the meridian OF life,
and as yet claimed no profession, nor en-
gagged in any occupation. His was of
rowing disposition, and his past life had
been spent 10 wandering from place to

"Tight!" :"
"Only tight" Mans best and great
est gift, his intellect, degraded; the only
power that raises him fir m brute creation
trodden down under the foot of debas-
ing appetite.
a" Only tight" The mother stands with
pale face and tear dimmed eye to see her
only sons disgrace, and in her fancy pic
lures the bitter woe Of which this is the
fore shadowing.
"Only tight" The gentle sister whose
strongest love through life has been given
to her handsome and talented brother,
shrinks with contempt and disgust from
his embrace, and brushes away the hot i'm
pure kiss he prints npon her cheek.
"Only highland his young bride
stops in the glad dance she is making to
meet him, and checks the welcome on her
lips to gaze in terror on the reeling form
and flushed face of him who was the god
of her idolatry.
"Only Highland the fathers face

He has brought sorrow to all these af-

70 A female writer, who is "down
on" paint and belladonna, and in favor
of polished minds and loving hearts, says
she "never sees woman of lively and
lovely animation, but | fall in love with
her myself, and only wish that ! were a
man that might marry her." This paint
ing is a vile misunderstanding those who
indulge in the practice but the counter
felt presentment' of themselves. We
had as lief have a counterfeit twenty
dollar gold piece in onr pocket as paint
ed woman hanging upon our arm. Here
is what an old Greek poet says on the
subject of artificial beauty:
"Why tinge the cheek of youth the snowy neck
Why load with jewels why anoint the hair
Oh lady scorn these arts but richly deck
Thy soul with virtues thus for love prepare.
Lo! with what vermsil tints the apple blooms
Say, doth the rose the planters hand require
Away, then, with cosmetics and perfumes
The charms of mai ure most excite desire"

A Brain and Nerte People.--One who
appears to comprehend the American
people, physically speaking, says with no
little justice:
The Americans are in fact becoming
nothing else but brain and nerves. Fat
and tibrine are only valued as they sell
in markets, and muscle is only thought
of as it pertains to our draught animals.
Our stimulating climate and our fast
habits make US SO nervous that life is
becoming to us but one continued spasm.
Our movements are like those of dane
ing Jack. Even our pastimes are SO
intense that they fatigue us as much as
our business. The so-called rest which
we begrudgingly give ourselves, wears
us as much as our work. We cannot
bear to have another called mo e
"smart" that ourselves, and we will die
and he burned rather than not become
as rich as our neghbors There is ever
the same unsatisied restlessness, wheth-
er We go abroad or stay at home. No
body shall travel faster or See given
number of objects in less number of
hours than ourselves, no matter at what
cost of money or health. There is no
impossible Alps that We will not climb,
and no deep cave of earth or sea that we
will not explore. There are none who
shall not grow numb before ourselves on
the highest frozen peak, and there shall
be none who can hold their breath longer
under water When the guide is not
looking, there is no kings throne or
pope's chair on which we will not sit.-
There is nothing within the scope of hu-
man ability which we will not undertake,
and when we boast of what We have ac-
complished, there are none who shall
draw longer bow.

place, without an object, and without al
aim. 1t was thought that he for lon.
time had entertained feelings of th,
warmest nature for lady who was jus
bursting into womanhood, and who, tho
conscious of his attachment, (yet he bat
not acknowledged it), gave him no surety
of reciprocal feeling. And hence it is
said the cause of his wanderings. HI
had often expressed a heartfelt wish tC
meet her once more, and then could he
win from her roseate lips one smile of re-
cognition, he would be willing to drive
back into bis bosom the outpourings of a
faithful heart, and once more, and forev-
er, turn his feet towards cold and heart
less world.
This wish was now gratifed. Fairy
Seymour, the lady who had caused such
burning passions to spring into existence,
and fire his soul, was near him He stood
before her like living monument of mar
bic ; his lips We're cold and deathlike,
though she marked each pulsation OF his
quick and throbbing heart. He looked
upon her with wild astonishment, trying
to realize that he had, through the inter
position of some superhuman aid, been
permitted to meet again one whose spirit
had taunted him thus far through life's
sad pilgrimage, and which he had ever
cherished, as sacred image, upon the
tablets of his heart. Many proud hearts
had been made to bow and worship at
her shrine, and she was well worthy the
love of Clarence. She was unlike the
artificial beauties of the day, but was in
reality beautiful. She possessed the
qualities of dignity, grace and elegance;
was Of medium height, and moved with
queenly beauty among her proud associ-
ates; telling with her soft blue eye of a
kind heart, amiabIe disposition and spot
less soul Her figure was perfect, her
long tapering arms and hands white as
alabastcr, were thrown careessly around
the symmetrical waist Of her companion,
while her rounder shoulders and snow
white bosom, nesting the first rosebud OF
spring, would heave and fall like some
calm unlroubled water. She had now
truly reached the springlimc OF life
Sad cares AMI mtldncnoly thoughts had
Welded to the realities of the present,
while her heart was as light and free as
the woodland son. 4sters, Whose m llJw
notes made the valley vocal with their
praise.
While some were reveliEg in love of
the beautiful and silded scenes of nature
that everywhere surrounded them, oth-
ers were busily engaged in weaving gar
lands of roses to crown the brow of Fai
ry Seymour, as the unrivaled beauty of
the day. Clarence, who had been stand
ing for some time as if immoveabe, was
now watching with keen and jealous
eve, the movements of his oflicious com
panions. When they had finished, and
decked the crowning wreath with the
fairest of natures leaflets, he advanced
SLOWLY towards her, yet with an unblush-
ing front, and almost in the attitude ol
prayer whispered request that he might
with his own hands, place upon her brow
the indicative crown of triumphant beau

And crowded lights smile on the gllttering throng
Where bright oyes in the dance go flashing by
And e'en the ar is laden down with song.
Go join in all their merriment--

The Jest, the airy, empty compliment
And drink the scum, ye call the cream OF life.

Oh say, when all the froth, the joy is gone,
