His MOther-in-IaW.

He stood on his head on the wild
seashore, and joy was the cause of the
act; for he felt as he never felt be-
fore-insanely glad, in fact. And why /?
In that vessel that left the bay, his
mother in-law had sailed to a tropical
country far away, where tigers and
snakes prevailed. And more than one
OF his creditors too--those objects of
constant dread-had taken berths- in
the Ship Cullew, whose sails were so
blithely spread. Oh! now he might
look for quiet life, which he never
had known as yet 'tis true that he
still possessed a wife, and was not
quite of debit. But he watched the
vessel, this singular chap, DER the
waves, as she upped and down; and
he felt exactly as if 8. the edifice was
crowned" Till over the blue horizons
edge she disappeared from view; then
up he leaped on a chalky ledge, and
danced like kangaroo! And many
and many a joyful shout he pealed
Ger the sunset sea, till down with
9 fzz" sank the orb of day, and then
he went home to tea.

English Synonyms.

The copiousness of the Englisl
tongue, as well as the difficulty of ac.
quiring the ability to use its immense
vocabulary correctly, is well exhibited
in the following array of synonymous
words, which, if not new, is yet cap
ital illustration of the nice distinctions
which characterize so many of our vo-
cables. 1t is no wonder we slip Oc-
casionally, even the wariest of us.
A little girl was looking at the pic
ture of anumber of ships, when she ex-
claimed, See what q flock of ships!n
We corrected her by saying that a
flock of ships is called a feet, and that
a fleet of sheep is called flock. And
here we may add, for the nenefit of
the foreigner who is mastering the in
tricacies of our language in respect to
nouns Of multitude, that flock of

Gossip of a Veteran.

Of the aged individual known as
Uncle Tommy Wargraun, the Knox
vile Chronicle speaks thus:
Uncle Tommy was born in Lexing-
ton, Virginia, May IA, 1773-three
years before the declaration of Ameri-
can independence, and is consequent
ly now ninety-eight years old. His
mother had sixteen children. When
twenty years old he removed to Fin
ley Gap, Jefferson county, Tennessee.
He had never been married, and is
consequently an old bachelor. He
has been an eye witness to the growth
of East Tennessee from a wilderness
to its present degree of prosperity.
He knew Knoxville when there were
but two stores in the place, one being
owned by Captain Morgan and the
other by old Billy Park. He has been
in four wars. At one time of life he
weighed 1876 pounds, but his weight
at present is only sixty-one pounds.
He has ehewed tobacco seventy-eight
years and don't think it will kill him
for some time yet. He has eat no
meat for sixty-one years. His only
diet now is piece of light bread and
a cup of coffee, and he does not per-
spire in the hottest weather. Second
hearing has retuned, but his eyesight
is still dim. Uncle Tommy is great
traveller and although SO very aged,
Is continually making flying trips
hither and thither on the lines of rail-
road. His range is between Lynch
burg, Virginia, and Augusta. He is
passed everywhere free, and puts up
at the hotels on the same terms. His
first vote for President was east for
James Monroe for his first term. He
could not endure jackson, and voted
for Henry Clay when that great Wing
was candidate for the presidency.
Uncle Tommy was most enthusiastic
Whig in those days, and lallds Henry
Clay to the skies. He east his last
