A SHREwD IDIoT.--A well known idiot, James
Fraser, belonging TO the parish Of Lnnan, in
Forlarshire, quite surprised people sometimes by
his replies. The congregation Of his parish
church bad for some time distressed their minister
by their habit of sleeping in church. He had
often endeavored to impress them with a sense Of
the improperly OF such conduct and one day,
when jamie was sitting in the front gallery wide
awake, when many were slumberng round him,
the clergyman eudeavored to awaken the aiten-
tion of his hearers by stating the fact, saying,
" You see even jamie Fraser, the idiot, does not
fall asleep, as so many of you are doing" jamie,
not liking, perhaps, to be thus designated, cooly
replied, " An hadna been an idiot | wad ha'
been sleeping too Ranisay's "reminiscences"

EFFIE CAMPBELL.

Pretty Ellie Campbell
Came to me one day;
Eyes as bright as sunbeams,
Checks with bushes gay.
'I'm so happy, Cousin,
Walter told me all,
In the carriage, coming
From the country ball"
'Have care, Miss Ellie
Look before you leap;
Men are tickle, Ellie
Better wait than weep
How you're always preaching
Love to be n crime
And kiss perdition,
Surly Feter Syme."
'Fear these fist love whispers,
Thrilling, sweet, and strange
Eyes wW wander, E1ie,
And the fancy change
Il can trust him, Cousin,
With a glad repose
Heaven is won by trusting
Doubts bring half our woes
'Are you certain, Elie,
Love will not decay
When your step is slower,
And your hair grows gray
And those eyes so bonnie,
Look less bright than now;
And the matrun Caution
Saddens cheek and brow ?"
Love may deepen, Peter,
But it will not die;
Beat its pulse will stcadier,
If not quito so high.
Smoother run the rivers
As they reach the sea,
Gained the noisy plunges-
Stillcd the shallow glee.
'True love knows no changing
From the dream OF youth
Or, If changed, tits better
'Tis the dream made truth.
Love that once pincd blindly,
Tendorly reveres,
Aud the eyes see clearer
That have look d through tears
Beautiful, forever,
The gliefsoften'd tread
And the time touch'd glances,
Aud the dear gray head.
The pathetic poleness,
And the lines OF care
Memory's conservation
Makes men always fair.
'Lips that came close creeping,
Sweet low love to speak,
Kissing, oh .! so softly,
Weary temples weak.
Eyes that looked such pity
Poor wild eyes above
Can these lose their beauty
For the souls that love ?
'But | see you're laughing,
AS you always do
When my speech gets earnest
AS my heart throbs through.
weak you think us women
Slaves Of impulse, vain
But our heart is ofttimes
Truer than your brain.
you're our subjects, skeptic,
Wrangle as you will
Mothers eyes and bosoms
Mould the children still.
'Tale- of woman's glamour
'Tis the oldest known;
Better doom with woman
Than an Eden lone.
We shall always snare you,
Struggle rs you may
/ shall see you, Cousin,
Deep in love, one day =
'Eliie but she stopp'd me
with Il nod and smile,
Calling, as she courtesied,
In her Saucy style:
BY, by, Master Peter
Take wife in time,
And she'll make you wiser,
Simple Peter Symc.'

THE .Nouatah Messenger gives half a column
of portraits Of California editors Holmes, of
the Mariposa Gazette, is thus described:
He is decidedly jovial and the only rcmarka-
bic feature in his character is an antipathy to
noisy women, cross children, and dislike to the
formality usual among landlords and stage agents
When about to indulge in morning eyc-opener
he usually quotes the commencement OF the De-
claration of Independence" When in the course
OF human events it becomes necessary" &c.

MORMON OrrNIoN.-Greey seems to have left
rather funny impression Of himself at Salt Lake
A late number of the Valley Tan makes the
following mention of him:
Greeley is a jackass--a complicated puzzle
to the most profound student Of human nature
the strongest mixture of good sense aud consum-
mate foolshness extant-the most inconsistent
specimen of natural inconsistency we ever heard
Of, read Of or saw.

LADIES IN SCsrENDERs.-- Among the novelties
recently introduced in ladies apparel is a new
article of suspenders. They bear resemblance
it is said-to those worn by gentlemen except
tha1 they are made of delicate white elastic fa-
brio, with frlled edge, about one inch wide, at
tached to the skirt by buttons in like manner.
We doubt not this invention will be generally
adopted, with a view to relieve the waist Of the
unlimited burden which such habiliments neces-
sarily produce. Reason and experience teach us
that the old and absurd method while followed,
impairs the health, mpedes locomotion and tends
to i'll health.
