B Sickness of the Soul.

Says writer in ,Scribner's Mdgasine: 1t
is rather interesting to see how even with
some very benevolent people moral faint
is a bar to charity. Is he honest? they
ask first. If that question is answered
satisfactorily, their generosity knows no
bounds, But if the poor fellow has the
double misfortune of light purse and a
slim conscience-then he must move on!
If he is sick in body, they help him, o
how tenderly! II he is sick in soul, they
cast him off without computations, If a
pile of bricks falls and breaks his leg,
how quickly they run for bandages; but if
a sadder accident overwhelms him in
moral misery, they think they do well to
abandon him to his fate. EThey appear
never to consider how brittle the legs of
their own virtue; how fortunate for them
selves that their ways lie not alongside of
lettering moral brick-piles. q

The press, type, and material belonging
to the late Herald, of Chattanooga, Cover

Sheriff of Hamilton county, for sale on the
18th instant, to satisfy an execution in
favor of Cincinnati type-founders. Itcon-

cases and type, six boxes containing sorts,
one lot of sorts in paper, three heating

Examples of The Power of Memory,

DIR, johnson, it is said, never forgot
anything that he had seen, heard or read.
Burke, Clarendon, Gibbon, Locke, Tillot-
son, were all distinguished for strength of
memory. When alluding to this subject,
Sir William Hamilton observes: "For
intellectual power of the highest order
none were distinguished above Grotius and
Pascal, and Grotius and Pascal forgot moth
ing they ever read or thought. Leibnitz
and Euler were not less celebrated for
their intelligence than for their memory !;
and both could repeat the whole Of the
'Eneid.' Donnellus knew the Corpus
Juris' by heart; and yet he was one of
the profoundest and most original specula-
tors in Jurisprudence. Ben Jonsonteli us
that he could repeat all that he had ever
written, and whole books that he had
read. Themistocles could call by their
names the twenty thousand citizens of
Athens. Cyrus is reported to have known
the name of every soldier in his army.
Hortensius, after Cicero the greatest orator
of Rome, after sitting whole day at a
public sale correctly enunciated from
memory all the things sold, their prices,
and the names of their purchasers. Nei-
buhr, the historian, was not less dlstin-
guished for his memory than for his
acuteness. Tn his youth he was employed
in one of the public offices of Denmark.
Part of a book of accounts having been
destroyed, he restored it by an effort of
memory.-Dr.-F TViasloC. e =

"a Pat and the Pig.

A countryman having killed pig, and
not wishing to divide with his neighbors,
as was the custom in that country, said to
his man (who, by the way, was Il son of
the Emerald Isle:)
"Pat, if give the neighbors who have
none left. for myself, Can you tell me
what am to do?na fsss FB Ef
"Be dad, sir" said Pat, sits myself that
can do that same thing"
Good" says the countryman, rubbing
his hands, and looking at Pat. Nov tell

the craythur is claned, just be afther

mither's son of thin will see it, and early
in the morning, before any one is about,
get up and take in your pig, and hide it
away. Thin when your neighbors come,
Just be afther telling thin the pig was
sthole." Ea1
"Capital idea, Pat" exclaimed the coun-
tryman, "I'll do it, by st. George" e.. s-z.
So when the pig was cleaned it was
hung up outside the door, so that the
neighbOrs might see it. The countryman
anXiously awaited the approaching night,
and at last retired to bed, but not to sleep.
Pat, under cover of the darkness of the
night, crept round the house and stole the
pig: 49,
tryman, when at early dawn he arose to
hide away his pig, but found no pig there,
can be better imagined than described. In
the midst of his bewilderment, Pat came
in with his usual "top o. the morning to

said:
