THE STEWARD AND THE CORPSE =
Jim's position reminds me of an anec.
dote: Once during the prevalence oI
yellow fever on board ship the stew
ard, gigantic negro, was ordered to
throw the corpses overheard as fast as
they died One day the captain heard
a scuffle on deck. and, rushing up, be-
held the steward engaged 10 desperate
struggle with a sick passenger, who
was begging for life while the negro
was trying to heave him over the side
"You black rascal!" exclaimed the
captain, "What are you dOing?'
"Tryin' to frow dis corpus over
board, )" responded Sambo, giving an
other tug at the seat of the victims
pantaloons.
"Why," said the captain, THAT man
isn't dead Don't you hear him He
says himself that be isn't dead r
Il know he say be amt dead ; but
he such an awful liar, cap'n, you neber
can believe a word he say =
Now, you see our steward, Mr..
Hayes. is trying to throw Jim over
board for dead And Notwithstanding
Jim's frantic assertions that he is not
defunct, his reputation for veracity is
such that the bulk of public sympathy
is with the steward.

A BAD-PAY President. Here is a
story about General Sam Houston, in
the days when he was President of Tex

went one morning to a grocery and
took a particularly good ham, observ-
ing to the small boy 10 charge that the
President would call aud pay for it.
By aud by the grocer came in-and the
small boy, now and elderly man. 6n-
ishes the story thus: ''Said the grocer.

No, but President Houston is coming
round to pay for it, President Hous-
ton-the devil! Did Tom say he
would see it paid 2 No. Sir Then
you are a fool. Now, Sir, you go
straight to the Presidents kitchen and
bring me that ham. unless Tom will

That useful knowledge should receive
our first and chief care, we mean not to
dispute. But, in our views Of util-
ity, we may differ from some who take
this position. There are those who
conGne this term to the necessaries and
comforts of life, and to the means Of
producing them. And is it true that
we need no knowledge but that which
clothes and feeds us? A large and in
creasing proportion of mechanical labor
is given to the qualification Of an ele-

standard of convenience. This utility"
would work great changes in town and
country, would level to the dust the
wonders of architecture, would annihi-
late the 6ne arts, and blot out innum-
cradle beauties which the hand of taste
has spread over the face of the earth.
Happily, human nature is too strong
for the utilitarian 1t cannot satisfy
itself with the convenient No passion
unfolds itself sooner than the love Of
the ornamental. The savage decorates
bis person, and the child is more struck
with the beauty than the uses of its
raiment. So far from limiting our
selves to convenient food and raiment,
we enjoy but little a repast which is
not arranged with some degree of order
and taste; and man who should con-
suit comfort alone in his wardrobe,
would find himself an unwelcome guest
in circles which be would very reluct-
antly forego We are aware that the
propensity to which we have referred
often breaks out in extravaganza and
ruinous luxury. We know that the
love of ornament is often yitiated BY
vanity, and that, when so perverted. it
impairs, sometimes destroys, the sound
ness and simplicity of the mind and the
relish for true glory Still, it teaches.

beauty is an indestructible principle of
our nature, and this single truth is
enough to put us on our guard against
vulgar notions of utility.
