HoN. TuM. MARSHAL.-The Rochester
IN. Y Advertiser has the following no.
tice of the department of Mr.. Marshal in
that city. 1t is very evident that the
reason of the once brilliant Kentucky
orator has been dethroned by the use of
ardent spirits, and while his conduct may
be highly reprehensible, some charity
should be extended in view of the fact
that he is not morally responsible for his
conduct, under the circumstances. If he
has friends, they should certainly exert
themselves to stop him in his erratic
career:


Marshal has lectured here three nights
and had empty benches. The tickets to
his lecture could not be given away
No citizen having any self, aspect would
listen to such an orator if he knew what
foul language he applies to the whole
Northern people. He proclaims in his
drunken orgies (Which are continuous
that he has found no gentleman since
he left the South. The language he uses
in alluding to Northern men would not
be tolerated at Billing~gate.


If 4 Northern man. drunk or sober
were to go into kentucky or any other
Southern State, and say of Southern
citizens what Tom Marshal has said here
of our people. he would be cut into
mince meat with bowie knives. 1t is
not because our people are towards that
they tolerate such insolence. They treat
it and its author with the contempt both
merit.

Country boys often feel that their lot is q

kid gloves, delicate ringlets, a,,,aa plenty OF
money in his pocket. .-...<


Mind your corn, boy; hoe it out clean,
keep steadily to the labor you have in hand,
do it well, and in time your good days will
come too. If you find farming is not suited
to your taste, or your strength, or circum-
stances; if you like mechanism better, or
have capacity for busincss--whateve you
eventually engage in, it is all the same, you
have begun right. The city blades have be-
gun wrong; and in due time you will see it.
Their fathers and mothers will in the end, see
it, too Do not feel envious Of the pleasures
a hot-house man enjoys, but remember, not
IN malicious, but sober spirit, that such
plants wither early. BY the time you have
acquired fixed habits ofindustry, and acquir-
ed a corresponding perfection Of mind and
body, your deicately reared contemporary Of
the town begins to feel the facilitating effects
of idleness and dissipation. He is not alone
to blame for weak body and profitlcss
mind; it is the result Of system, but he can
not escape from its effects; these he must en-
dure for himself in his own person. His
father may be professional man, or a mer-
chant, or may be merely rich the chances
are fifty against one, that the son win not re.
place his father. Such is the result of we'll
settled experience; business falls into the
hands Of those who are most competent; it
does not descend to heirs; it is the country
boys after al, who do the city business. OBJ
serving men have often stated this fact and
inquire into the origin Of Cleveland, Boston,
or New York, you will find it to be So All
external circumstances are in favor Of the son
or the clerk succeeding to the trade of the old
firm, but the son seldom, almost never, dies
in the position of a partner of the house
Why is it? Simply because habitual indus
try is wanting-habitua Incidence is not
wanting. With all the external odds against
it, the country furnishes the cities their prin-
cipal business men. If intelligent, faithful,
and persevering. and above all, cheerful and
contented, the chances are that the lad with
the hoe will eventually do the business Of the
father of the lad in gloves, who is now luxu.

DIvNGFoE SPoNoEs-A An important resource
for the fisherman consists in the sponge and
pearl fisheries. TO pursue this employment
with success, it is indispensable that the sea
should be calm and not more than thirty feet

descend to very considerable depth. These
men are exposed to great danger. The chand
gigos, an enormous bivalvc, which exists in
the sea Of Greece as well as of India, has
strength enough to bite cable in two Its
shell weighs no less than two hundred and
fifty pounds, and the fish itself about one
hundred pounds. II is a scene of no small
excitement to zee two men 30 forth stripped,
in diminutive boat, armed only with a knife
stuck in their leathcrn girdle. 10 watch them
as they fix their glance on the deep; them of
sudden, to sec one Of them extending HIS
arms and clasping his hands, make plunge.
He soon reappears above the waves with u
sponge in his hand, which he deposits in the
boat and Immediately prepares for the acqui-
stion Of others Thus he works on during
the day, and returns to his home overcome
with fatigue and bleeding from nose to cars.
Should cramp attack him while under the
water, it is all up with him; and equally
miserable would be his fate should he en-
counter biyalvc at the bottom Of the sea-
Even should he escape these dangers, which
are ever present to him, he may, perchance,
get entangled in the floating net Of the china
griphoide, from which he would try in vain
to cxtricate himself; and having, by good
luck, avoided these hazards, he may yet
stand q chance Of ending his days in the jaws
Of shark.

The following curious account of a haboon
family is translated from recent French work
by N. Boitard, for Goodrch's illustrated Natu-
raj History:


There have been and still are in the mena-
Eerie OF the Garden of Plants, Paris, q number
Of baboons, and four years ago, female who
had a young one furnished one of the most
amusing aud singular spectacles / ever wit
messed. She was placed With 1t in cage, near
the one she had formerly occupied with several
other animals Of the same species. The infant
baboon was hideously ugly, but she lavished
upon It the most tender caresses. When il was
eight days cid, the door Of communication was
opened, and her malo entered. The mother,
seated in the middle Of the cage, held the young
heir in her arms, precisely as nurse would do
snder similar circumstances The happy father
approached and embraced his mate with French
gallantry upon each side Of the face; he then
kissed the little one, and sat down opposite to
the mother, so that their knees touched each
other. They then began to move their lips
with rapdity, taking the young one from each
others arms, as il they were having . most
animated conversation concerning it. .


The door was again opened, and the baboon
friends entered one after another, each en-
hracng the mother, who, however, would not
allow them to touch the young one. They
seated themselves in circle and moved their
lips. as If felicitating the happy couple on the
arrival of the son and heir, and perhaps finding
in 1t q marvellous resemblance to either the
father or mother. This scene was very much
like that which often takes place in the human
family on similar occasions, except that we
suspect the fluctuations were more heartfelt
and genuine on the part Of the brutes, than on
that Of their more favored prototypes.


All the balloons wished to caress the young
one; but no sooner did one Of them put forward
his hand, than good slap from the mother
warned him Of his indiscretion. Those who
were placed behind her stretched their hand
out silly, slid ID under her arm and succeeded
sometimes, to their great joy, in touching the
little one without the mother perceiving II,
particularly when she was engaged in CONVEX
satisn. But smart correction seon taught
them that their indiscretion was observed, and
they quickly retreated. 1t was evident that
the monkey mother thoroughly acquainted with
the requirements Of her position, knew perfectly
well how to divide her attention between her
guests and her infant charge.
