LIFE Is SHORT. Such is the complaint
of almost all men who consider existence
In reference to the use they do make Of
it, and not to that which they ought to
make 1t is, indeed, short, if it be
counted only by its agreeable moments.
If all the hours passed in pleasure were
collected together, a life of a great num-
Der of years would scarcely furnish one
of few weeks. The reason why life is
short is that we either employ it in do
ing nothing, or in doing what we ought
not to do. On this head there is an adj
mirable maxim" Would you live long,
live well.'

Th. Tables Turned;

a Herdee jVernet, the distinguished
French painter, was once travelling troln
Versailles to Paris in the same railway
carriage with two English spinster ladies,
very prudish and prim, and Of certain
age. Vcrnet's appearance was striking,
and the ladies scanning him attontively
whenever they thought he was looking the
other way began to communicate to each
other their observations upon him in q
rather loud whisper, thinking, apparently,
that as they spoke in their own language,
they were ut liberty to make what COM
inents the pleased. The veteran painter
was intensely amused, but was too much i
man of the world to manifest the slightest
consciousness Of what was going on. 1t
was not long before the train had to pass
through tunnel. Vernet seizing the op-
portunity, leaned forward, 80 as to be
within hearing Of his neighbors, and an:
piled smacking salute to the back Of lfis
hand. On emerging from the temporary
obscurity, his face had assumed mis-
chicvous expression, which as he intend-
ed. was soon interpreted by each lady to
the prejudice Of the other, each charging
the other with having received from the
n,oustached stranger the mysterious kiss
in the dark. Arrived at the terminus, as
all were alighting, Vernst offered his hand
to help his fellow travellers out of the car
riagc, and then, witt, graceful bow, took
leave Of them, saying, as he retired. to
their dismay, in perfectly correct English:
Adicu, ladies'; l suppose l shall never
have the satisfaction Of knowing to which
of YOU am indebted for the unexpected
but valued favor received in the tun-
ncl."

r. A story il told Of McKean Buchan-
an. who Is said TO be ono Of the finest poker
PLAYERS in the world. While in Australia
a few years since, Mr. Buchanan had a
thrifty, speculative agent, who took the
money At the door aud generally kept it.
The tragedian couldn't we'll afford 70 dis
pense with tho mans services for 90 triaing
: matter, 10 he artfaly inoculated the spec
ulative agent with this game Of poker,
and when the agent had captured all the
money 1t night, Mr.. Buchanan would .kal-
fully and untailinsly whit al away from
him during the next day. In this manner
Mr.. Buchanan redressod wrong, killed
time, and introduced this sfngslar and
attractive game into the most remote cor
iicrs Of ths civilized globe. -

U Many beauties stand insulated in
the world. To discover modes Of bringing
them together, and thus produce works Of
art. this in the Office Of tho mind. The
flower derives charm from the insect that
rests on it, the dew drops that moisten it,
and the vase from which it draws its last
nourishment. There is no bush, NO tree
to which the neighborhood Of q rock or a

which does not borrow an added charm

r. It has been lately discovered that
the great plains of Colorado overlie vast
coal bed, also numerous beds of iron.
Some Of these large beds Of coal have
lately been found to be on fire, and to
such an extent as to warm up the earth
for miles around. The sections Of coun-
try most explored lie between the head
waters Of the Republican and Platte rivers
in Colorado. Enough is known in regard
to this statement to satisfy scientific men
that it is true, aud also consistent with
the character Of that country.

thither commenced in 1859. The fabu

TIE Bird CHARMER OF PARis.-Most
Of the foreign visitors to Paris have no
doubt seen the celebrated bird charmer
who has been so long the delight Of the
children and promenades in the Gardens
Of the Tuileries aud the Luxembourg:
lie has only to stop near the Aower.beds
or grass plots, when Immediately the little
sparrows, the most intractible, perch on
his shoulders. The woodpigeon leaves
the trees to fluttcr around him; and the
whistling blackbirds do not disdain TO
take crumbs Of bread from his lips and
hands. He il followed by crowds to Wit
ness his performance, aud not few envy
the mysterious power of the charmer.
But, though he long stood alone in his glo-
ry he has many imitators. Indeed, not q
few women aud children now have the same
power Of charming that he has hitherto
enjoyed exclusively. Almost any day, ten
or moro Of these chasmers may be counted
at the Tuileries, playing with the pigeons
and sp.rrows, calling aud sending them
away, taking pleasure in being pecked by
them. The same il the case in the gardens
OF Luxembourg; aud one young dame,
who bears an illustrious name, caunot take
her habitual walk in the garden Of the Pa
lais Royal without being surrounded by .
train Of birds.

GEN. JACKSON AND THE OLD UNITED
STATES BANK.-A correspondent Of the
Boston Trareler relates the following incl
dent in connection with Gen. Jackson's
opposition to the old United States Bank.
The facts in the case Of the interview be-
tween Gen. Jackson and David Henshaw
arc these, ~ related by Mr.. Henshaw, him
self: "The Wing committee had so far
succeeded with Gen. Jackson that there
was an implied if not actual promise to
yield to their request in regard to the
United States Bank. This coming to the
ears Of Mr.. Henshaw, that gentleman de-
tcrmircd to circumvcnt them. Knowing
that Gen. jackson was to leave for New
York the following morning, he called at
his hotel after midnight. Sending up his
card by the servant, he was informed that
Gen. Jackson was about retiring. But
this did not deter him from seeking an in
terview, and the servant was obliged to-
conduct him to the Generals room. En-
tering, he found the General seated on tho
edge of his bed, with his pipein his mouth:
General" said Mr.. IIcnshaw, do you
remember the promise you made"
"Yes, by the eternal, dol! was the
reply.
"Good.night. General, and safe return
to Washington" was the only remark made
by Mr.. Henshaw. He knew that the old
mans oath meant all. David Henshaw BY
his own powerful will had overcome and
conquered the greatest political faction
Massachusetts, ever knew.
