"A Chaplain at the family mansion of I-Inlsron,
Shropsliire, some time ago applied to his dio-
cesan to give him a living, and the Bishop prornis-
ed him the first that was vacant. Having it
pretty private fortune of his owit, and not as-
piring to a mitre, the Chztpliiin took the liberty
of requesting that his Lordship would not send
him into the Mountains, but give him an Eug-
ltsh living. The Bishop. knowing him to be a
thorough bred Welshman. asked him his reason
for such a request. ‘* \Vhy, my Lord,” said
the Chaplain, “my wife does not speak \Velsh."
“ Your wife, wife Sir I” said the diocesan “ what.
has she to do with it‘! She does not _'p7’ea(:/L, does
she '3” “ No my Lord,” says the Chaplain,
“but she lcctures.”’ The Bishop, as may be ex-
pected, took it in gcod part, and the Chaplain
was soon afterwards exalted to a. living in the
wildest part ofthe Welsh Mountains.

"Friends, the canvass of the vetoe on the ex-
onerous cortsumaciour-ness of the veloniousiiess
of the United States Bank, was the furlicutiori of
the Clay party; and when Jackson had spyfi-
dated the confidence ofthe present Congress. he
rose to his so percillious majesty. and crushed the
growing powers of these illtisible states.
“ This. gentlemen Jacksonians, was adequate
to the circumference of Jacksonism, and now I
previse you to exaggerate yourselves."

It is little more than twenty years since the

nearly 500.

\Vhen you feel your pas-ions risirig. nevtir
confine or suppress them. How many boilers

Always proclaim the faults ofothers. There
should be no secretsin a republican govcrrtinciit.
Never give tip your opittioii. though you kriow
you are wrong; it shows that you hate iride-

\Vltenever you attack your neighbor's charac-
ter. do it behind his back, so as not to wound bi.-
feelings.
Make it a rule to keep company with rogues
and rascals; and then if you .-botild be prose-
cuted for art olIeut-e you have (‘t)lllZ2'l‘Illt’tl, and
your comrailes should be called as witiit-s.~es

Never forgive an iti_iury. The power of par-
douint; belongs to the (:‘rovt-rrtor arid (footicil.
\Vlieii you have done an act of charity pub-
lislt it to others. so that they may tlo so too. Be-
sides, every man cart preach best fiotii his t')\\II

Never pay your debts. it is itncoitstitiitional;
for payment impairs the Ul.|llL'alltHl ofa contrai-t,

that.

take special care to keep it safely; and it may
be well for cautiort's sake. to get one or two to

Never sweep your parlor; it makes a coit-

Never brush down a cobweb: it is a part of a
spider's dwelling house. and of course his castle.

Life is short. and as things are now rriannecfl.
a woman's work is neverdone; she must there-
fore work double tides; that is. she should talk
and laugh at the same time. .Years oflife may
be saved in this way.
When you are in company and can find no-

and whistling to yourself.
