A GOOD ONE FOR SMOKERS.

An aged negress, whose eminent
piety has secured for her an extern
sive reputation, in walking her usual
route of visits, dropped in upon a
ne;ghbor who was equally well known
as temperance man and a hater of
tobacco.
After being courteously received,
the negress pulled from her pocket
long pipe and commenced smoking
some very "Union" tobacco, 10 the
infinite disgust of her host. The
man maintained his composure for
several minutes, but the fumes and
smoke became too powerful for him,
and rising from his chair he said:
Aunt Chloe, do you think you are
a christian ?
Eyes brudder, spec | is
DO you believe in the Bible
aunty?'
Yes, brudder.'
DO you know there is passage
in the scriptures which declares that
nothing unclean shall inherit the
kingdom of heavenP
Eyes, I've heard of it,
DO you believe it
Yes
well, Chloe, you cannot enter the
kingdom of heaven. Because there
is nothing SO unclean as the breath
of smoker. What do you say to
that.
Why, spock to leave my breff
behind me when | go to heaven

FEMALE SoCIETY.-Do not COM
mend us to those persons who would
prohibit the association of the sexes
under any discreet circumstances
What is it that makes all those men
who associate habitually with wo-
men superior to others who do not
What makes that woman who is ac-
customed and at case in the society
of men superior to her sex in gener-
al 7 Solely because they are in the
habit Of free, graceful, continued
conversations with the other SEX
Women in this way lose their frivol-
/ ity, their faculties awaken, their
delicacies and peculiarities unfold
all their beauty and captiyation in
the spirit of intellectual rivalry
And the men lose their pedantic,
rude, declamatory, or sullen manner.
The coin of the understanding and
the heart changes continually
Their asperities are rubbed off, their
better materials polishes and bright
ened, and their richness, like the
gold, is wrought into finer workman
ship by the fingers of women than it
ever could be by those of men,
The iron and steel of their charac-
tiers are hidden, like the character
and armor of a giant, but studs
and knots of good and precious
stones, when they are not wanted in
actual warfare.

Orr in Chester county n. c., late
ly, clock peddler was trampmg
along, hot, dusty, and tired, when he
came to a meeting house wherein
sundry Friends were engaged in 81
lent devotion. The peripatetic
tradesman thought he would walk in
and rest. He took a seat upon a
bench, dotted his hat, and placed his
clocks upon the floor. There was a
painful stiffness in the meeting house
which was broken by his clocks,
which commenced striking furiously.
The peddlerwas in an agony, but he
hoped every minute the clock would
stop. Instead of that it struck Just
four hundred and thirty times by
actual count OF every friend in the
meeting, for the best disciplined of
them couldn't help numbering the
strokes. Then up rose one of the
Friends. at the end of the four hun
dred and thirtieth stroke, and said j:

NUMBER 81.
THE POLAR BEARS CUNNING.

! According to the Esqu imaux, the seal con-
sructs its habtatlon beneath the surface of
the ice in such q manner that it can enter it
from the water below; here the young seal
passes its infancy, and when the returning heat
of Summer has destroyed its igloo dwelling,
the young seal is old enough to take care of
itself; but this mode of lodging its youth be-
meath the ice is well known to the bear, who,
with its keen scent, detects the whereabouts
of the SEALS nursery, and in order to gain en-
trance makes spring and comes down heavily
with all its weight on the pool of the goo
crushes it in, and Immediately seizes the young
seal with his paw.
Here, it might be supposed, the hungry bear
at once devours its prey but no, it is far too
wary to do so it knows full well that where
baby is, there must of necessity be mother,
and that she will be in search of her darling
therefore, the bear scrapes away the snow from
the seal hole, aud holding the young seal by the
Upper, allows it to founder about and when
the young mother approaches, the bear syy
draws the young seal towards it until the old
one is within reach, when he seizes her with
the other paw, and thus captures both.
The mode in which the bear captures the seal
is very similar to that followed by the EsqNi-
maux. When at a distance from the seal the
bear throws itself down and stealthily crawls
toward the seal, aud if the seal looks up it lies
perfectly still and makes, at the same time, q
noise which luls the seal. The bear repeats
the operation until it approaches its victim,
when it falls prey to Bruins appetite
Another mode of obtaining food by the bear is
| to watch from a cliff the movements of the wal
rus, who are fond of summing themselves on the
rocks, and when one Of them has taken up a con-
yenient position for the bears purpose, the lat
ter lifts up large piece of rock, aud with aston
ishng accuracy throws it down on the animals
head. If the walrus is only stunned, the bear
rushes down, and with the rock hammers its vie
| tim on the head until it is dead.
When attempting to capture seal in the wa
ter, the bear sinks its body beneath the surface
of the sea, leaving only the head above water,
which resembles piece Of ice; and when the
seal raises its head above the surface, Bruin
quietly sinks, and swimming under the seal,
seiaes it.
