MIND YOUR EHE. There IS Q sfo-


MrND YOUR EYE. There is q sto-
~ going the rounds Of the bou-
doris Of Paris, about b handsome
man about so years of age, but
well preserved, and with only one
infrnaitF--he had q glass eye. 1t
was a misfortune; but things are
so well managed nowadays that
no one noticed it. One evening,
having no other engagement, he
accepted and invitation to recep-
ton at Madame Saint Udefonse de
Pierovoeville's. My hero went to
the ball, passed a charming eve
ming, and devoted himself exclu-
sively to a beautiful young blonde
who attracted the attention of all
the company. Shall / confess it?
He fell so. in love with the young
lady at first sight, that he made
her an offer on the spot. After O.
few instants of reflection, and some
preliminaries relating to the con-
tract, the marriage was arranged
and celebrated in due time. When
he entered the nuptial chamber he
extinguished the light. A glass of
water was on the table by the bed
side he dropped his eye into it.
The next morning as soon as it
was light, our handsome bride
groom reached forth his arm, seized
the cherished orb, and replaced it
in its order. As soon as he was
dressed he went to see a friend in
town. On seeing him, his friend
gave a cry of surprise. " Perhaps
you find me changed?" said our
friend. 1t is my happiness. Think
of it, my friend, I am married to
the most felicitous blonde-such
hair, such eyes" "Blue eyes?"
"Of course, as she is, blonde. If
you could only see her eyes!' "I
see one of them now ; and if your
memory fails you, you have only
to, look in a glass to see her eye
before your The bridegroom
trembled. He rushed to the mir
ror. o, horror his right eye was
black and full of fire, but his left
eye was tbffue5 f1anguisifing and ten
der. In the glass of water were
two bI11e ewes but thew did not be-
long to the same peBson. The new
Unmarried couple separated with

without changing eyes. rrnFnrr

Daniel webster and Jenny Lind.

Jenny Lind gave concert at Washington
during the session of Congress- and sent invita-
tions to the President, Mr.. Fillmore. the mem
bers Of the Cabinet, MI Clay, and many othe,
distinguished members of both Houses of Con
gress. 1t happened that on that day several
members OF the Cabinet and Senate were dining
with Mr.. Bodisco. the Russian Minister His
good dinner and choice wines had kept the party
SO late that the concert was nearly over when
Webster Clay, Crittenden and others came in.
Whether from the hurry in which they came, or
from the heat of the room, their faces were a
little flushed, and they all looked somewhat
humied After the applause with which these
silence was once more restored, the second part
of the concert was opened by Jenny Lind with
" Hail Columbia"
At the close OF the first verse, Webster $
patriotism boiled over; he could stand it no
longer; and rising, like Olympian Jove, he
added his snororls, bass voice to the chorus
Mrs. Webster who sat iumedi ately behind him,
kept Juggling at his coat tail to make him sit
down or stop singing; but it was of 10 earth
ly USE and at the close of each verse Webster
joined in, and it was hard to say whether Jenny
Lind, Webster or the audience were the most
delighted. At the close of the air, Mr.. Web
ster arose hat in hand, and made her such bow
as Chesterfield would have deemed Il fortune
for his son, and which eclipsed D'Orsay's best.
Jenny Lind, bllshiug ut the distinguished
honor, cnrised to the floor; the audience APP
plauded to the very echo; Webster. determined
not TO be ont done in politeness, bowed again
Miss Lind rc-curtsed, the house re-applauded,
and this was repeated eight or nine times.

PRAcTlcAL El.oQUENcE-The following very
brief and decidedly pithy speech delivered
by Oliver Cromwell on dlssolving the long
Parliament, may be new to some of our
readers. 1t is a fair specimen of the rude,
vigorous, and hardy style of this singular
character:
6" 1t is high time for me to put an end to
your sitting in this place, which we have dis.
honored by your contempt of all virtue, and
defled by the practice of every vice. Ie
are factious crew, and enemies to all good
government. le are pack Of mercenary
wretches, and would like Esau, sell your
country for a mess of pottage, and, like
Judas, betray your God for u few pieces of
silver. Is there Il single virtue now remain
ing in you? Is there one vice you do not
possess? You have no more religion than
my horse. Gold is your God. Which of
you has not bartered away your conscience
for brides? Is there man among you that
has the least care for the good of the Com
monwealth? You sordid prostitutes Have
you not detiled this sacred place, and turned
the Lords temple into den Of thieves p
By your immoral principles and wicked
practices ye have grown intolerably odious
to a whole nation. You, who were deputcd
here by the people to get their grievances
redressed, are yourselves become their great
est grievance. Your country, therefore,
calls upon me to clean this augean stable by
putting final period to your iniquitous pro-
ceedings in this house, and which by Gods
help, and the strength he has given me,
now intend to do. command you, there.
fore, upon the peril Of your lives, to depart
Immediately out of this place. Go! Get
you out. Make haste Ye venal slaves,
begone Take away that shining bauble
there, (the speakers mace) and lock up the
doors,

Lot SINNERS Elegy.

Lot Skinner was the meanest man
That ever saved his neck;
He grudged the very breath he drew,
AS if it were cheque.
When he was in the grocer line,
And turning fruit to gold,
He'd bite raisin straight in halves
TO make the weight he sold.
He never gave dime away,
He never lost pin,
A ninepence saved reioiced him more
Than taking ninepence in.
OF counterfeited bills he used
The best of every kind,
Which in the way of trade he kept
TO swap off on the blind.
"'Tis little things that make pile, d
(This maxim be could trust,
SO when he sawed his pile of wood,
He always saved the dust.
He had but one book in the house,
And that he never read
Twas called Economy of Life, -
And did him good he said.
At last it cost SO much to live
Per day some twenty cents)

All, happy day, refuse to go
Hang in the heavens forever SO!
Forever in mid afternoon,
All, happy day of happy June!
Pour out thy sunshine on the hill,
The piny wood with perfume fill,
And breathe across the singing sea
Land-scented breezes, that shall be
Sweet as the gardens that they pass,
Where children tumble in the grass!
All, happy day, refuse to go!
Hang in the heavens forever So
And long not for thy blushing rest
In the soft bosom Of the west,
But bid gray evening get her back
With all the stars upon her track
Forget the dark, forget the dew,
The mystery Of the midnight blue,
Aud only spread thy wide warm wings
While summer her enchantment filings
All, happy day, refuse to gol
Hang in the heavens forever sol
Forever let thy tender mist
lie like dissolving amethyst
Deep in the distant daes, and shed
Thy mellow glory overhead
Yet wilt thou wander, call the thrush,
And have the wiles and waters hush
10 hear his passion.b broken tune,
All, happy day Of happy June!
