Spiced Vinegar.

In the winter of AT, while residing in
New Orleans, youth who stood about
five feet eleven inches and three quarters
in his stockings, who hailed from some
where up the Wabash, was invited by a
friend to dine at the same house where 1
was boarding. This was the Hoosier's
first trip away from home, and he told
his friend, who was in the produce busi-
ness, and lad purchased his cargo of corn.
AS they took their seat at the table, the
youth told his friend that he expected
that he would show him all the sights of
the town, as he wanted to let all the folks
at home know all about it,
The servant brought him D plate of
soup, and observing a gentleman oppo-
site put considerable catsup in his dish,
our Hoosier pointed to bottle Of pepper
sauce and asked what it was.
"Spiced vinegar" was the reply.
oval, s'pose you b'lige q feller by
handing IL along
Certainly" was the answer.
The Hoosier took the bottle and COM
menccd dousing it into his soup, but as
the sauce did not flow very freely, he
took out the cork, at the same time OBJ
serving to his friend
"Kinder close folks yer storpin' with,
to-put such plaugy little hole in that
cork, to prevent feller talSin' much of
that ere stuff. I 'spose it GENES high,
don't it,"
During the time he had poured nearly
wine glass full in his soup, and taking
his spoon he dipped it full, together with
several peppers, and put it into mis- mouth.
The next instant he spurted the contents
of his spoon across into French gentle
mans bosom, and bawled-
"Water water snakes and wild cats,
give me some waterl I'm all afre !"
"By gar, sair," exclaimed the French
man in rage, jumping up from the to-
bic, "you have spoiled my shirt, my vest
sair Spoiled everything sair. BY gar
1 shall see about this, sair"
In the meantime the Hoosier had seiz
ed pitcher containing water, and had
taken q tremendous draugtt. Setting
the pitcher down, he eyed the French.
man for a moment, and then yelled
"Dod blast your old shirt! spose
was going to burn my inards out for you
or your old shirt? You cussl Come
down to the boat and I'll give you one o.
mine"
1t was with difficulty that the Hoo
siers friend could allay the I'renchman'i
rage, and set matters straight again
But ever after the "spiced vinegar" was
a by-word, and sufficient to set the whole
table in roar.

the children having, according to age,

be useful in after life. Have them read to

You cannot imagine how it will bind

scribers in the following musical and touc

How happy are they
Whom the editors pay,
And have squared up for one year or more,
Tongue cannot express
The great joy of the press,
When delinluents have paid the old score.
Primers all the day long
Labor hard for song
. A fate that is hard, all agree
They have worked night and day,
And Of course scant their pay,
To buy sugar, coffee, and tea.
One would hardly believe,
Wha5 small sums they receives
For the paper addressed to each name;
But The price is so small,
That the good people all,
Will pay for fear of the shame!

MARRIAGE" Men should not marry"

not only maintain themselves the social
position to which they have been accus-

she was reared" We entirely disavow
these doctrines 1t should be the aim of
every married couple to make their own

Excerpts.

Communities prosper and flourish,
droop and decline, in just the degree they
practice or neglect to practice the pri-
mary duties of justice and humanity.
Abstemiousness and fugality are the
best bankers. They show a handsome
interest, and never dishonor a draft
drawn on them by their humblest GUS
toners.
A clear stream reflects all objects that
are upon it's shore, but is unsullied by
them: so it should be with our hearts
they should show the effect Of all objects,
and yet remain unharmed by any.
The action of the soul is oftener in that
which is felt and left unsaid, than in that
which is said in any conversation. It
broods over every society, and men un-
consciously seek for it in each other
Emerson
Take the. seed of thought and immerse
it in the waters of Christianity till it
germinate, and you have the young twig
of happiness, which may grow and bios
som on earth, and will bear fruit in eter-
nifty.
How brightly do little joys beam upon
a soul which stands on ground darken-
ed by clouds of sorrow! So do stars come
forth from the empty sky, when we look
up to them from deep well.
What power there is in innocence!
whose very helplessnessis its safeguard; in
whose presence even passion himself
stands abashed, and stands worshipped
at the very altar he came to despoil.
Let no man be too proud to work
Lot no man be ashamed of hard-fst or
a sun-burnt countenance. Let him be
ashamed only Of ignorance and sloth.-
Let no man be ashamed of poverty. Let
him only be ashamed of dishonesty and
idleness.
If men could find the fabled fountain
that is said to restore youth, and health,
and beauty, with what eagerness they
would rush to drink its waters! Yet
with scarcely less cagerness do they rush
to drink of it's waters that bring upon
them premature old age, and disease, and
loathsome ugliness.
There is nothing that we can properly
call our own but our time and yet eve
rybody fools us out of it that has mind
to it.
AS riches and favor forsake man we
discover him to be fool; but nobody
can find it out in his prosperity.
Adhesiveness is large element of sue
cess. Genius has glue on his feet, and
will take hold on marble slab.
Those who wrong others, generally
slander them to cover their own infamy.
