BE COntented.

Bulwer says that poverty is only an
idea in nine cases out of ten. Some
men with $4,000 year suffer more for
want of means than others with $780,
The reason is, the richer man has arti-
fetal wants. His income is $4,000 a
year, and he suffers enough by being dun
ned for unpaid debts to kill sensitive
man. A man who earns dollar day
and does not go into debt is the happier
of the two. Very few people who have
never been rich will believe this, but it
is true. There are thousands and thou
sands with princely incomes who never
know minutes peace, because they live
beyond their means. There is really
more happiness among the workmen in
the world than among those who are call
ed rich.

Entertaining Remarks.

N the procession that followed good
IL deacon Jones to the grave last sum
mer, the Reverend Mr.. Sampler, the new
clergyman of East Town, found himself
in the same carriage with an elderly man
whom he had never before met. They
rode in grave silence for few moments,
when the clergyman cndeavored to i'm
prove the occasion by serious conversa-
tion.
This is a solemn duty in which we
are engaged, my FRIEND" he said.
Hey what do you say, sir ?" the old
man returned. Cant you speak louder !?
I'm hard of hcarin'"
| was remarking," shouted the cler-
gyman, that this is solemn road we
are travelling to-day"
Sandy road You don't call this ere
sandy do ye? Guess you amt been down
to the South deestric. Theirs a stretch
Of road on the old pike that beats all
ever see for hard travelin. Only a
week before Deacon Jones was tuck sick,
| met him drivin' his ox-team along
there, and the sand was pretty nigh up
to the hubs of the wheels The deacon
used to get dredful riled bout that piece
of road, and East Town does go ahead of
all creation for sand"
The young clergyman looked blank at
the unexpected turn given to his remark {;
but quickly recovering himself, and rails
ing his voice to its highest pitch, he re-
sumed the conversation.
"Our friend has done with all the dis
comforts of earth," he said, solemnly
" A small spot OF ground will soon cover
his poor senseess clay"
Did you say clay, sir?" cried the old
man eagerly. "Tain't nigh so good to
cover sand with as medder loan. Sez
| to Mr.. Brewer, last town-meetin' day,
If you'd cart on few dozen loads and
there's acres of it on the river bank sez
l, you'd make as pretty a piece of road
as there is in Hartford County But we
are slow folks in East Town, sir"
1t was, perhaps, fortunate for the cer-
gyman at that moment that the smell of
new-made hay from neighboring field
suggested fresh train of thought.
Look" said he, with a graceful wave
of the hand, "what an emblem of the
brevity of human life As the grass Of
the field so man foursheth. and to-mor-
row he is cut down." ...r..I
don't calculate to cut mine till next
week." said his companion. You
mustn't cut grass too 'arly; and then
again, you mustn't cut it too late"
My friend" shrieked the clergyman,
in last desperate attempt to make him
self understood, " this is no place fol vain
conversation. We are approaching the
narrow house appointed for all the liv-
ing."
They were entering the graveyard, but
the old man stretched his neck from tn G
carriage window in the opposite direction,
Do you mean Squire Hubbards over
yonder! This rather narrer They
build all them new-fangled houses that
way, nowadays. To my mind, they amt
nigh so handsome nor so handy as the
old-fashioned square ones with broad
entry runnin' clear through to the back
door. Well, this is the getting out place,
amt it Much obleeged to ye, parson,
for your entertaining remarks.

A singular Dance. Cd

They have a singular kind of dance on
the green's of country VILLAGES in Russia.
The dancers stand apart--a knot of young
men here, knot of maidens there-each
sex by itself, and silent as crowd of
mutes. When the piper breaks into a
tune youth pulls off his cap, and chal-
lenges girl with wave and bow. If
the girl is willing she waves her handker-
chief in token of assent; the youth ad-
vances, takes corner of the handkerchief
in his hand, and leads his lassie round
and round. No word is spoken, and no
laugh is heard. Stiff with cords and
rich with braids, the girl moves forward
heavily by herself, going round and
round, never allowing her partner to
touch her hand The pipe goes droning
on for hours in the same sad key and
measure and the prize of merit in this
" circling," as the dance is called, is
given by spectators to the lassie who, in
all that summer revelry, has never spok.

Court in this State, resulting from
the fact that New Orleans has
large and constantly increasing
maritime and commercial business
affords an additional reason for the
re-establishment of this Court.
The expense to the Government
saved in the mileage of the Marshal
in cases where the Government is
bound for the costs-the extreme
portion of the State being over
seven hundred miles from the place
where the Court sits-would more
than pay the officers of this District.
The enforcement of the many acts
of Congress in which the people are
vitality interested and which are
now in this part of the State q dead
letter, call for the immediate re-
establishment of this Court.
Hoping that you will lend your
valuable assistance in the premises

gress is our prayes.-Lou,siana In

No more delightful travels are printed
in the English language than appear per-
petually in HARPER's MAGAZINE. They
are read with equal interest and satisfac-
sion by boys of every grade from eighteen
to eighty. Its scientific papers, while suf-
fciently profound to demand the attention
OF the learned, are yet admirably adapted
to the popular understanding, and design
cd as much to diHilse correct information
concerning current scientific discovery as
it could be if it Was the organ Of the so
ciety foI the Diffusion of Useful Knowl-
edge" The great design OF HARpEE's is
to give correct information and rational
amusement to the great masses of the peo-
pie. There are few intelligent American
families in which HARPER's MAGAZINE
would not be an appreciated and highly
