Tears and Laughter Providence
mad both tears and laughter, and both
for kind purposes for as laughter en-
aJles mirth and surprise to bracthe free
lv. so tears enable sorrow to vent Itself
patiently. Tears hinder sorrow from
becoming despair and madness and
laughter is one Of the very privileges Of
reason, being confined to the human
species.

TPInin0 Errnr

An editor in New Jersey had q little
nephew only six months old, and the
little nephew died. Same Of the edi-
tors friends considered that it would
be good thing to give the afflicted
uncle a substantial expression Of their
sympathy, so they contracted with a
local sculptor for gravestOne. The
design consisted of an angel carrying
the little one in her arms and flying
away, while q woman sat weeping on
the ground. The tombstone was sent
to the editor, with the simple request
that he would accept it. As he was
absent the junior editor determined
to acknowledge it, although he hadn't
the slightest idea what it meant So
the next day he burst out in the pa
per with the following remarks
art NelDs.--We have just received
from the hands Of our eminent sculp-
tor, Felix Mullen, comic bas relief
designed for an ornamental hrebOard.
It represents an Irishman in his night
shirt, running away with the little
god Cupid, while the Irishman's
sweetheart hides her head Indifferent
ly in the corner. Every true work Of
art tells its own story; and we under
stand, as soon we glance at this, that
our Irish friend has been coquetted
with by the fair one, and is pretend
ing to transfer his love to other quar-
ters. There is a lurking smile on the
Irishman's lips which expresses his
mischievOus intentions perfectly. We
think it would have been better, how
ever, to have clothed him in some
thing else than a night shirt, and to
have smOOthed down his hair. We
have placed this chef d'g1sUre beneath
our mautle-piece where it will surely
be admired by our friends when they
call. We are glad TO encourage such
progress in local art"
This was painful A committee
called on the editor when he returned
and explained the matter to him; and
that night an assistant editor was
seen coming down stairs, six steps at
a time, and flying up street without
coat or hat!

The MeetIng Of the Luihors.

Mr.. c., a gentleman who has
just published his first book, which
met with remarkable success, was
shortly after met by seedy-looking
individual in the Queens Hotel, in
Toronto. The latter extended his
hand, and, in tragic manner, ex-
claimed
"Allow me, sir to welcome you to
our ranks-the ranks of authorship"
The peculiar appearance of the in
dividual rather amused Mr.. c.,
and he replied
"Thank you, sir; but may 1 venture
to ask who you are and what works
bear your name ?"
Certainly, sir. Have you ever
heard of TennysOn, the Poet Lau-
reate ?J
eyes" said Mr.. c..
"Well, I am not he. But have you
ever heard of Longfellow ?''
"Yes-but have never seen him.
Surely, you are not Longfellow ?"
"NO, I am not he."
"Then, who the dickens are you ?'i
"Ah! there. Have you ever heard
of Charles Dickens 2?
"Hes-out know you are not
Charles Dickens.
"No, sir; I am neither Tennyson,
Iongfellow, nor Dickens; but, sir, I,
the individual who stands prominent
ly before you in the noble person of a
mani, sir, am"
"Well, sir, who are you, and of
what are you the author?'
~, sir, am Jonathan, Ezekiah
Washington, Jefferson Piggleton, and
l am the celebrated author of recipe
for taking grease spots, tar, oil, and
all stains out of cloth, wood, marble,
carpets, ETC., etc, and which will be
most happy to sell you, or any other
gentleman who now looks upon me,
for the small sum of twenty cents !"

WoIfIn Sbeep's Clothing.

4 few days ago Mr.. Albert Wild,
of No. Al Powers street, Williams
burg, ad yertised in q New York jour
nal for a middle aged woman who
was willing and able to do general
housework in his family. On Friday
afternoon a tall, aWkward-lOOking
person, about forty years Of age,
plainly attired in female costume,
called at Mr.. Wild's residence and
responded to the advertisement. Mr..
Wild was absent at the time, and his
wife, after questioning closely the
"maid of all work." hired her on the
spot and set her to work. She
expressed a willingness to do any
hOusework required, was not particu-
lar as to wages, had a smiling face
and a gigantic frame, and appeared to
Mrs. Wild TO be just the kind Of
"help" needed in family where there
was a good deal of work to be done.
On that evening the maid was
treated as company and when it
was time for the family 70 retire, Mrs.
Wild showed her the sleeping apart
ment provided for her and babe her
an affectiOnate good night, saying
that she would get up quiet early in
the morning and instruct her as to
her daily domestic duties. The maid
bade her mistress an affectionate good
night also, and both retired. True to
her promise, Mrs. Wild arose at seven
O'Clock yesterday morning and called
at the maids room. The maid was
not there. Mrs. Wild repaired TO the
kitchen. Il had no occupant. The
mammoth maid was missing. A
further search showed that the fol-
lowing articles were also missing:
Three shawIs, one set of furs, one gold
neck chain, one set of gold armlets,
one dozen of handkerchiefs and three
childrenis safes containing about ten
dollars in coin.
The police having been informed OF
the robbery, are now on the track Of
the robber, who is believed TO be a
well-knOwn New York male conf
dence thief, who on this occasion gave
the name of Minnie Singer.

war be RIIl Become.

1 This question Is often asked by pa
rents in regard to their sons, and by
the friends of many young men. And
although there is no definite rule for
ascertaining, we may get some idea Of
what young man will become by OBJ
serving his actions and works.
Solomon said, many centuries ago,
that even a child is known By his
work, whether it be good or whether
it be evil Therefore, when you see
q hoy go slow to school, indifferent
about learning, and glad of every op-
pOrtunity to neglect his lessons, you
may take it for granted that he will
be a blockhead.
When you see boy anxious to spend
money, and who spends every cent as
soon as he gets it, you may know that
he will be spendthrift.
When you see a boy boarding up
his pennies, and unwilling to part
within the for any good purpose, you
may set it down that he will be q
miser.
When you see little boy willing to
taste strong drink, you may rightly
suppose that he will be drunkard.
When a boy is disrespectful to his
parents, disobedient to his teacher,
and unkind to his friends and play
mates, it is sign that he will never
be of much account.
When you see a boy looking out for
himself and unwilling to share good
things with others, it is a sign that he
will grow up a selfish man.
When you hear boy using profane
language you may take it for sign
that he will become a wicked and pro-
fligate man.
When you see boys rude to each
other, you may know they will be-
come disagreeable men.
When you see boys pOuting and
grumbling when told TO do anything,
and always displeased when they have
any work to perform, it is a sign that
they will be gOOd-for-nothing men.
When you see boys that are kind
and Obliging to each other, Obedient
and respectful to their parents, atten-
tive to their studies and duties, it Is
a sign that they will become good and
useful men.
When you see a boy that loves his
Bible, and is well acquainted with it,
it is sign of great future blessing
from Almighty God.
When you see boy that stays away
from theatres, grog-shops, bathrooms
and gambling houses, it is a sign that
he will grow up a man in principle,
knowledge and goodness.
When you see boy practicing the
virtues of morality and Christianity.
you may know that hewill become an
honor to himself and family, useful
to his country, and the glory Of his
Maker.
Although great changes sometimes
take place in the character, these
signs as a general rule, hold good.

VOLUME 23-NUMBER s
Barnum as a Snowman Again.

There are some individuals whom
no misfOrtunes can repress- Mr.. p. T.
Barnum will make his bow before the
public next April with a unique and
colossal travelling exhibition. He
hopes to surpass himself and double
in extent the tfBarnum Show Of 1851
at which ten elephants figured in har-
ness The proposed exhibition IS to
be combined museum, menageiie
and circus, respectively under three
spacious paviliOns so connected that
visitors can pass from one to the 9TH
er, there being but one entrance fee OF
fifty cents to the entire establishment
Mr.. Barnum has for several years
been collecting from Europe, Africa,
India, Japan and China, q great va
riety of euriOsities for the new muse
um, among which is an extraOrdi-
nary collection of mechanical au-
tOmatOns. These life-siZe human
figures are ingeniOusly made to
perform upon musical instruments,
dance, walk, leap, and execute feats of
rOpe-dancmg and gymnastics There
are also autOmatOn animals and
birds, and curious groups of moving
wax statuary, representing distin-
guished persOnageS of the Old and
New World. The living specimens
of the genus homo. such as giants,
dwzrfs, albinOs, Indians, Circassian
girls, &c, will constitute q small army,
led by the smallest of pigmies, Admi-
raj Dot, the dwarf of California. The
menagerie is to be a wilderness Of
wild animals, including some very
rare living specimens, such as a a sea-
lion from the Pacific, hippOpOtamus
from the river Nile, an Egyptian
crocodile, a white rhinOcerOs, &c.
The Arabian caravan Of Monsieur
Huet, consisting of 80 drOmedaries
and camels, accompanied by BedOuin
Arabs, will form a prominent portion
of the travelling pageant, and assist
in the performances under canvass. /
The eli Gus Of Mr.. Daniel Costello has
been enlarged, and under his imme-
diate management will represent the 4
department.
The cost of putting this great show i
upon the road is estimated at exceed |
ing S150,0OO. Mr. Barnum's ambition 1
seems to be to exhibit, for trifiing
price Of admission, a greater variety .
and more elaborate and pleasing en-
of the sort than has ever
before been presented at any price.
This entertainment will also present
The opportunity of acquiring a con-
siderable amount of scientific knOwl-
edge. Past experience of Mr.. Bar
NUNS management guarantees that
he display and performances will be in
every respect consistent with good
morals and refinement. Mr.. w. G..
coup, at present a popular Snowman
It Woods Museum, New-YOrk, will
,e the manager of the entire exhibit
on.

AneedOte Of Gen. Jos. u. Ge.ger.

We find the following in the sfEdi-
tors Drawer" in Harper's Magazine:
General Joe. Geiger, who has fur
Drawer, told the following of himself
not long since, to small but select
audience. 1t illustrates the proverbi-
al diffidenee Of the Ohio lawyer;
Soon after the fall of Vicksburg the
General took a run down South, for
the double purpose of seeing the army
in the field and for pleasure, and not
at all averse to turning an honest pen
ny should occasion offer.
While in Vieksburg, cotton spec
ulatOr became involved in trouble
with the revenue and military author
itIes, which resulted in the seizure of
his cotton. The Generals presence
in the city was known, and his legal
talent promptly secured by the spec
ulatOr. On examination, it was shown
that no fraud had been perpetrated or
intended, and the General soon had
all the legal fOrmalities put right and
the cotton released. The speculatOr
at once proceeded to load, informing
the General that it must be put on
board that night, and that he would
see him in the morning. The General
passed asleepless night, debating with
himself whether or not he shOUl charge
him $500 feet. The amount involved
was large; so were his responsible
tiles. He thought he had earned, yet
feared to ask it. Morning came and
found him still undecided. Donning
his clothes he sailed forth, end natur-
ally enough, toward the levee, where
the steamer was lying which was to
take the cotton North. Before he
reached the levee, however, he was
met by his client, who said:
"Wel, Mr.. Geiger, that was a good
days work you did for me yesterday"
Il endeavOFed to do my duty for
you"
Taxing from his pocket large roll
Of bills, and holding up one knee, tn e
noble speculatcr in ''long staple"
counted of four $500 bills, and asked,
SIS that enOugh?'' still holding up
the knee with his fingers on another.
The General looked on quite speech
less, but promptly recovered himself
so far as to reply: "I Iguess yOu had
better iay on another %
1t was laid on. The General inser-
ted the XIV hundred in his pocket,
and kindly bid "by-by" to the other
party.

The Lima paper relates the follow
ing, which has a smack of the humOr-
Gus about it.
Two young Nimrods, seeking what
they might shoot in the shape Of birds
and prey, espied a woOdpecker just
making his entrance into a sassafras
stub, at point some twenty-five feet
from the gIound. Not being quick
enough to bring him down with pow
der and shot, one Of the hunters pro-
posed bringing him down by climbing
to his retreat. He had assembled to
within few feet of the nest, when to
his infinite amusement a black snake
that had taken up his abode in the
same tree, projected his head and fork
ed tongue almost in the climbers face.
There was Sudden goueness," not
only about the stomach but every
limb of the aspirant while his down
ward tendency was truly alarming.
But the earth was soft and with re-
turning breath came consciousness.
To his companions inquiry if he was
much hurt, he replied: Don't be
alarmed, I'm all right; but if you
want to see a scared snake, just climb
up into that tree about twenty feet"

( That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather ChInee Is peculiar,
Which the same would rise 70 explain
An Sin was his name;

In regard to the same
What that name might imply,
But his smile II was psnsiYe and child-like
As frequent remarked 70 Bill Nye.

That All Sin was likewise:
Yet he played Il that day upon William
And me in Z way despIse.
Which we had a small game,
And All Sin took hand;
II was Euehre. The same
He did not understand;
But he smiled as he sat by the table,
With smile that was ehild-like and
bland.
Yet the cards they were stocked
In way that grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
Atthe state Of Sye's sleeve,
Which was stuffed full Of aces and bowers,
And the same with intent 10 deceive.
But the hands that were played
By that heather Chinee,
And the points that he made
We're quite frightful to see
TIL ct last he put down a right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto me.
Then looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with a sigh,
And said, -'Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heather Chinee.
In the scene that ensued

But the floor It was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been hid

In the game ''he did not understand"
IN his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs
Which was coming it strong,
Yet Estate but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
What is frequent in tapeTS-that's wax.
Which IS why I remark,
And my language Is plain,
That for ways that are dark.
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same am free TO maintain.
