A Tar1Ne SITUATION. -The best

OF us, nave oiteu, III 'no
shifting scenes Of every day life, to
come to a sudden conclusion, and as
i. were to take a position at once. In
ali such cases, the mind cannot choose,
in calm and deliberate reason, what
IL were best to do. No doubt many
evil acts, are forced on US as fwere
thus suddenly, and to what extent
we are accountable, hereafter, God
Almighty, alone knows. The truth
of this, should enlarge our charity
towards others for until we can
stand In their shoes aud feel all the
ceilings aud arrows Of outrageous for
tune," which they do, SO long are we
unfit to be the impartial judges Of
their action. We have a case in
point. There was a Snowman in
town the other dsy, with some more
Of the quite numerous class, embrac-
ed under the head Of infantile prodi-
gies. Notice Of performance was
properly heralded at the expense Of
some credulous printer, and the
agent with the prodigies, put up at a
number one boarding house on Laurel
street. The time for the show came,
but IL did not bring the people. A
second show was announced at the
expense Of our friend "Sam," but the
small collection at the door, did not
half pay for the consumption Of gas,
for the occasion. The agent began
to discover that the prodigies would
not pay, 60 he informed the hotel
that he had deliberately made up his
mind TO leave for, some more congen.
ial cline. With the prodigies, the
agent had two trunks-one of them
. trunk Of costumes for the winter,
and the other for the summer season.
The hotel was advised Of the fact
OF course, no funds realized from the
show no funds to pay the hotel bill,
and the hotel suggested TO the sgen.
the propriety Of leaving one Of the
trunks-say the winter costumes, as
On evidence Of a disposition to settle.
The agent thought the proposition
. good one for the hotel; bu,
could not at glance, see how he
could travel without the winter cos.
tunes SO he, very politely and cour
teously informed the hotel, that il
either Of the trunks we're retained
that he and the pfodigies would have
10 stay with them. Here was one Of
che cases in point, when a resolve
must De made at once. The hoteI
concluded, BY allowing trunks, prodi.
gies and agents sll to depart. Who
shall say that this sudden resolve Of
the hotel was not as good as though
IL had been meditated a week1
