During the American Revolution, it is
said, the commander of little squad was
giving orders to those under him, relative to
a log of timber which they were endeavoring
to raise up to the top Of some military works
they were repairing. The timber went up
with difficulty, and on this account the voice
Of the little man was often heard in regular
vociferations Of
Heave away there she goes! heaye
ho!
An officer, not in mlitacy costume, was
passing and asked the commander Why he
did not take hold and render a little aid
The latter, astonished, turning round with ali
the pomp of an emperor, said,
Sir, am a corporal!
You are, arc you?' replied the officer,
Twas not aware of that; and taking off hi,
hat and bowing, the officer said, { | ask your
pardon, Mr.. Corporal and then dismountcd
and lifted till the sweat stood in drops on his
forehead.
When the work was finished, turning to
the commander, he said,

such job, and have not men enough, send Tor
your commander-in chief. and will come and
help you a second time

. VANITY Fair.

In no particular has the present generation
become more iastidious than in what is
requisite for the use of ladies in their own
dressing rooms. Essences, powders, pastes,
washes for the hair, washes for the skin, re-
call the days of ones grandmothers, when
such appurtenances were thought essential
and were essential; for our great-grand-
mothers were not rigid in points of personal
cleanliness and it is only uncleanliness that
requires scents to conceal it, and applications
to repair its ravages. Our great-grand-
mothers wore powder and pomatum, and had
their hair dressed three times week going
to bed in the cushioned structure, after sut-
fcripg torture for some hours, lest they should
in the weakness of human inirmity, lean
back in their chairs
Our great grandmothers too, had their white
kid gloves sewn to the bottom Of each sleeve,
lest they should, incur the calamity Of sun
burnt arm. Our great grandmothels were
afraid of cold water, and dcicately wiped
their faces with the corner OF towel no lar
ger than a pocket handkerchief. There
wee those among them Who boasted they had
never washed their faces in their whole span
Of existence, lest it should spoil their COM
plexions, but had only passed a cambria
handkerchief over the delicate brow and
checks, wetted with elder flower water or
rose water. [ believe the nearest approach
to the abution we now diurnally practice was
the bathing their lovely countcnances 10 May

for the skin by the bellies Of the last century
so they turned out betimes in high-heeled
shoes and uegligees, trottcd down the old

Maydew, refreshed with it the cheeks flushed

Shiny thing in villainous guise
With the pompous title-Compromis

Oh. men beware of Compromise.
Crooked and dark the pathway lies
Befoie the fend named Compromise
Avoiding the CLEAN of good mems eyes,
Characterless crawls Compromise.
Two towards of war-one of them cries
Let's settle the matter by Compromise "
So wrapped in screen that detection defes,
In stalks the umpire Compromise.
Two thieves who grasp at stolen prize,
Divide the spoils by Compromise.

When the leaders turn to Compromise.
Though fools may hope to strengthen ties
By Cotton bands of Compromise,
If You wish to see nation rise
Dare to speak of Compromise.
Accused be he who sells or buys
His country's honor with Compromise.
Hang him high and after ne dies,
Write on his tombstone Compromise.

To save your land but Compromise
Come to your senses Up Arise

My little friend wants to know what good
it will do to learn the rule of three or to

will need that very thing. Perhaps it may
be twenty years before you can make it fit in
just the right place. But it will be just in
place sometime, and then if you don't have
it, you will be like the hunter who had no

Above the bitter blast might blow,
But little cared the Howeret low.

It's tattered mantle drew

Upon the snow drifts Dreathed and smiled,
And through them looked the winter child,
