Ameri,. No Place for Fools.

In u lecture lately delivered before the
London Farmers Club, Mr.. James How
ard, the we'll known manufacturer OF
implements, of Bedford, England, made
the following pointed remarks concern
ing his experience in recent visit to
the United States:
He said he had been profoundly I'M
pressed with the happiness, prosperity,
energy, Intelligence aud selt-govern-
ment of the American people. He Won
dered that so many people are willing
to remain in the old world, without u
chance to rise, with hardly chance to
exist. If the United States were crowd
ed as England is, the population would
be nearly thousand millions. In reply,
however, to the question whether he
thought large and opulent English farm
ers would do well to send out their sons
t, America, he remarked that one of the
first memoranda which he made i'll his
diary after seeing the United States was
that IL rds no use to send fool to inner
lea. Mr.. Howard hit the nail ON the
head.'

An Affecting Stsry.


A negro sat on curbstons bare,
brooding over his woes; sad was his
heart and kinky his hair, his gizzard feet
were exposed to the air, and exceedingly
seedy his clothes. And as he sa: in the
cutting blast, we had to pity the cuss;
he wistfully locked at each person that
passed, and we heard him soliloquize
thus: "Oh! why did Ole Abe, wild de

Miss Levering

Ikiss heNcfhnB
Made her second appearance Mt
Washington Hall, last evening, as Lady
Isabel in East Lynne. A very fine, and
certainly deeply interested audience
witnessed her truly splendid perform
ance, and if effective delineation could
render more touching the history and
fate of the leading character, none who
witnessed her could fail to pay it the
tribute of high appreciation. She was
well supported by Mr.. Writers as
Carlyle, and Mr.. Levere as Levison
while Miss Kemble as Barbara
Hare, aud Miss Preston as Cornell;
Carlyle, were admirable. The farce wa
"a Kiss in the Dark" in which Mr.
Brooke did Pettibone in his usual mirth
full style. Miss Preston, as Mrs. Petit
bone, as in all her parts, was quite sue
cessful. Fer this evening we notice
that Camille and the Serious Family ar
on the bills. Miss lowering as Camille
in the former, and Mr.. Glenn as Amin
adab Sleek, in the latter play, will b'
strong attractions. We hope they ma!
have tonight, the best house of TIT
season.

The London Telegraph Of the Sd inst.
describes the effects of o heavy snow
storm in that city, which seems to have
been an unusual occurrence:
\ The widest thOIoughfares were, 80
blocked by the drifts that the pas
sage along them was but o narrow hne.
BY such difficult roads toiled the wretch
ed cattle in sorrier plight even than
that which is almost their normal con-
dition; and the cut Of the lash came
oftener and louder than ever. Oddly
matched were the steeds that worked
for the first time together. "Girafes'
and frames" Of all sizes pulled two and
two, most inharmoniously. In every
case of tandem it was ludicrously evil
dent that the trace-horse had never been
used to that kind of thing, and he was
dragged along willy-nilly by the leader,
on whose back was usually to be seen
an amateur postillion. Railway vans
and business carts of every kind were
drawn by at least double complement
of horse power; and even then the wheels
often struck. In the central and buster
districts of London, the snow was soon
trodden into yellowish brown mire;
and the churning process, which contin-
ued throughout the day, gradually con-
verted the filth into slush that was filth
ier still. At the suburban cemeteries,
where funerals are certainly no less fire.

the year, the graves dug for those to

Sheet The cold continued as bitter
all day as it had been all night, though
the wind lulled soon after morn. The
icicles depended from window lodges
and other outward projections exposed
fully to the freezing atmosphere; and,
ut last, winter did hang out his assigns,
with a fierce prodigality about which
there could be no mistake. 1t would
be- curious to ascertain how much, or
how little, shopping was done at the
West End. Not lady was to be seen

empty rows for the spruce young men
