ANECDoTE OF AN Elk PRESIDENT
When Mlllard Fillmore was practising
law 10 the Buffalo courts, he was pref.
~ formidable antagonist, even in that
city Of bars and benches. Upon one
occasion Talcott was his opponent, and
the latter wishing to show the jury how
strongly the rival case was fortified
made use Of q phrase which he presumed
would come home to their feelings.
mot only" said he shave my clients
rights been thus Invaded, but also in
order to sustain that inroad. you End
arrayed against him tho best talent in
the country-I may say, the right bower
Of the profession =
"What does the gentlemen on the
other side mean by the right bower?"
said Mr.. F., who had never played q
game Of euchre in his life.
"Why,' said Talcott, with sly wink
at the jury, Il thought everybody knew
what that meant-the biggest knave in
the pack !"

HUMBoLDT's L1BRARY.-It is said
that Mr.. Wright, formerly governor Of
Indiana, but now the American embas.
sador at the court Of Berlin, has offered
$4,000 thalers FOR the library left by
Alexander Won Humboldt. It is not
probable that, under the pressure of the
present times, he will meet With many if
any, competitors in Prussia or Germany.
The inheriter Of these literary treasures
is the late valet Of the deceased sage,
who, from the nature Of his circumstan.
ces, cannot be expected to wait any
length Of time for the realization Of the
bequest. thus it is probable that the
tools and implements, as it were, Of the
greatest mind-workman Of modern Eu.
rope will be removed to the United
States;

How AMERICANS WASTE FooD.-We

How AMERICANS WASTE FooD.-We
know family Of two persons, in which
is daily cooked food enough for twice
that number. The surplus stands about
the pantry, exposed to flies, dust,
heat, frost-any casualties-of it is re-
cooked, at twice the original cost; half
of to be eaten, and the remainder, with
vegetables, mouldy bread and fruit, ect /,
to be consigned to the pigs. Here is a
waste Of food which requires pretty
long purse to maintain. Yet both hus
band and wife are constantly complain.
ing Of hard times they lack money and
fear positive want. Well they may for
if anything is sure to bring want, it is
waste. When the -four barrel is empty
the molasses key drained, the sugar
spent, and other things gone, neither
b us band nor wife seem to think that an
nnccessary part Of the whole has been
devoured by pigs, nor that if Mrs. Eve
would have but two or three kinds for
each meal, and put on the table one
half the usual quantity at once, they,
both, would enjoy their meals far better,
and have the surplus in good condition
to be relished at future meals. Profus,
ion is as unfavorable to enjoyment as it
is to health and the purse. Simplicity
economy insure domestic comfort and
prosperity ; but thriftless wife brings
sure ruin. Don't laugh, Mrs. Eve, say
ing, II wonder how neighbor Showof
would like that PIT means you, you.
