AN AMUSING ANECDoGE.-Daniel
Webster had an anecdete of old Father
Seark bhe minister of his boyhood, which,
is too good to be lost. It was customary
then to wear buckskin. breeches in cool
weather. One Sunday morning in au-.
tumn, Father, Scarf brought down his
breeches from tho garret, but the wasps
had taken possession during the summer,
and were having nice time of it in them.
By dint of effort he got out the intruders.
and dressed for meeting. But while
reading the scriptures to the congregation.
he felt dagger from one of the enraged
small wasted fellows, and jumped around
the pulpit slapping his thighs. But the.
more he slapped and danced the more,
they stung. The people thought he was
crazy, but he explained the matter by
saying: .lBrethren, don't be alarmed !;
the word of the. Lord is in my mouth
but the devil is in my breeches :! Web
ster always told it with great glee to the
ministers.

SUMMERS DOMESTIC INFELIcITIEs.-
The Home Jenkins has discovered
that the upshot of the Sumner-Hol.
stein difficulty is to be a complete and
ultimate separation. 'The direct cause
of this separation" proceeds the prat
tling Jenkins, ''is simply certainty
discovered only too late-that there
exists between the parties an incom
patibility of temperament and opin,
ion upon certain questions, which
precludes the possibility of their liv'
ing happily together as man and
wife"

THE DREAM OF LIFE.
Br oro. p. PRENTICE

BY oEo. D. PRENTICE.
Twas but bubble-yet twas bright;
And gayly danced along the stream
or lifes wild torrent In the light
OF sunbeams sparkling-like dream
or heavens own bliss, for lovelincss--
For Aeetness like passing thoughts
Aud ever of such dreams as these
The tissue of my life s wrought.
For have dreamed Of pleasure when
The Sun Of young existence smiled
Upon my wsyward path, and then
Her promised sweets my heart besuiled,
But when came those sweets to sip.
They turned to gall upon my lip.
And have dreamed Of Friendship, too
For friendship, l had thought. was made
To be mans solace In the shade,
And glad him in the light; and SO.
fondly thought to apd friend
Whose soul with mine would sweetiy blend,
And as two placid streams unite,
And roll their waters In ono bright
Aud tranquil current 10 the sea,
So might our happy spirits DO
Borne onward to eternity;
But he betrayed me, and with pain
wOke-to sleep aud dream again.
Aud then dreamed Of Love, aud all
The clustered visions Of tho past
Seemed airy nothings to that last
Bright dream. II threw magical
Enchantment DER cxistencc--cast
glory ON my path so bright
l seemed To breathe and feel its light:
But now that blissful dream is o'er.
And have walked 10 dream no more.
Beyond the farthesl glimmeFing star
That twinkles In the arch above.
There l. world Of truth and love
Which earth's vile passions never mar.
oh, could snatch the eagles plumes.
And soar TO that bright world away
Which Gods own holy light illamcs
With glories Of eternal day
How gladly every lingering tic
That binds the down to earth I'd sever
Aud leave for that blest home on high,
This hollow- hearted world forever.

From tho Cincinnati Commercially
The Occupation Of the People.

Social statistics are Of very modern
growth in this country We have been
too busy with living and acting to take
account of our modes Of life or methods
of employment. Up to the date Of the
last census. we believe, no attempt had
been made to classify or record the en-
ployments of the people, and even the
statistics gathered under that head in
1860 must be regarded as very rudimen.
tary and imperfect. Still, as presenting
what may be taken as an approximation to
the facts, the figures representing the oc.
cupatious Of tho people are highly inter.
csting.
An analysis Of the returns gives the
following number Of adult persons en-.
gagged in the several employmcnts speci-
fed:
rieulturists .49j
Mechanics and Manufacturers. 4s0, ,e05

Our entire population having been n
little over thirty. one millions, the mum.
Der Of persons whose occupations arc re.
ported amounts to about one in every
six. or very nearly the average of heads
of families or legal voters to the whole
population. The remaining five. e.sixfhs
may be reckoned (as is definitely done in
the British census) as the domestic
class" or women aud persons under age.
Excluding this class, aud taking the five
millions seven hundred thousand Gin round
numbers) who are returned as having an
active occupation, We fud the following
result
Proportion engaged in agriculture, to
la-or rather more than one half.
Proportion engaged in manufactures,
to II.
Proportion engaged in mercantile life,
] to Is.
Proportion employed as day laborcrs, l
10 6.
Proportion employed as servants, to
Proportional number of physicians,
TO 100.
Proportional number Of clergymen, /
to $50
Proportional number of lawyers. to
I75.
If We take the persons composing what
arc commonly called the learned proies.
sions, We find that there are, as compared
with the whole population.
One physician to every GOO people.
One clergyman 10 every 600 people.
One lawyer to every 1000 people.
One merchant to every $50 people.
One manufacturer TO every 65 people.
Que farmer to every 10 people.

From L. II. Butler q Co. we have reoeived
"Ruth Lowell, d" by Mrs. Carrie V. May Pno-
lished by William II. Hill, Jr., Co., Boston.
This is one volume of the "Sweet Glover
series of stories by the same author; why
"sweet clover' we cannot exactly understand,
except that it has become the fashion to write
such books i'm series, and that QUE name ia as
good as another so long as " has az agreeable
sound. "Ruth Lowell" is a pleasantly told
story, which may be perused with profit as
well as entertainment by juvenile readers.
Sloan's Architectural Reciew for September
shows a decided improvement on the previous
numbers. A majority Of the articles are by
Messrs. Sloan and Lukens the editors, and
they treat of architecture, building, aud kin
dred subjects which come within the scope Of
the publication, from an artistic as well as from
practical point of view. Several fine designs
are given for stores, dwellings, churches etc.,
with full descriptions and details. The Archi-
tecturdL Review supplies long-felt want, and as
it is conducted with ability, we are confident
that 1t will ere long become the recognized
organ Of the profession, and will be made the
medium for the interchange Of ideas aud for
the promulgation of valuable suggestions and
information about matters OF every descrlp-
tion connected with architecture and building.
