I, what is that? A short bit of sentence
to direct you in life. You’ll have to take
one. See, continued lie, touching a flask
of whiskey which be carried, and pointing
to a luxom looking liiissy, that was just
p'issiiig—A short life and a merry one, my
motto. Good bye, John, I'll see you again
-—and away he flew, half-seas-over, bound
for a short life, methouglit, whether for a
merry or sad one, was a matter of doubt.

Let me sce.’\vhen upon a door, I saw in
large letters——-PUSH. That shall be my
motto, said I; and on the impulse of the
moment, my right hand was on the door,
my foot over the threshold. I found my-
self in the middle of an office of some sort.
After pausing a moment, a genteel man
stepped up and inquired my business. To
tell the honest truth said I, none special
with any one mortal man in particular, but
I am an Irish lad, a perfect stranger, just
come to America to seek my fox-iune.——
Have you moneyl said the gentleman.
Nothing but five guineas, the gift of my
angel mother, said I, common learning,
Irish honor and a grateful heart to any one
who will put me in the way to be useful.
\Vhy, said the man, smiling, I like your
frankness, and really will venture to trust
something to that face. You can write’!
Very well. Then copy that paper. Idid
so, and found myself in a snug berth, with
ii plenty to do for an industrious man--
plenty to eat and drink for a temperate
man——and satisfactory compensation for a
reasonable man.
My employer was a scrivener, and some-
times dealt in the purchase of real estate
on speculation. Hearing him deliberating
one day, donbtfully about a purchase,
“Pus/2.” whispered my good genius. It
will not fail, sir, said I, and if I might be
permitted, I would gladly take half the
bargain. On your luck and judgment,

days realized a thousand pounds. I was
now two and twenty; the bloom of my
cheek had the freshness of youth and health
.—-a pit or two of the small pox did not
mar my good loolts——my hair twisted
about my forehead in clusters of curls
which though I seemed careless about
them, were matters of seine little vanity,
and I did not like to part with them; my
skin under my sleeve was white as snow,
and except that I was a little bow-kneed,

liin,) you would not find a properer ‘person

fshe, but not very inviiingly, nor very an

arrested inyattention, at that hour, in an

mand to a true Irishman to “Pus/1.” My
cane was my sliillelah: one villain reeled
in an instant with zi broken head, and the
other, though twice my size, sunk beneath,

A BACKIVARD COWV RIDE.
During the Revolutionary war, when a
a corps of the American army were on-
camped near the borough ofElizabethtown,
N. J. an officer who was more of a devotee
of Venus than of Mars, paid his addresses
to a lady of distinction, whom he was in
the habit of visiting nightly, in the culti-
vation of the kindly feelings which love so
cordially inspires. On a discovery of the
repeated_abseric.e of the ofiicer,and of the
place where interviews with his dulcina
were had, some waggisli friends resolved
to play offs handsome trick at his expense,
which sboiild deter him from a repition
to his amorous visits.
I\/\a\.
naked, formed as quick as possible in gal-I
lant dishabille, prepared to repel the ter-
rible invader. When, lo! the Iiidiicious
sight soon presented itself to their eyes,
of their gallant officer, mounted on'a cow,
with his face towards her tail—her tongue
lianging out, her sides gory with the goug-
ing ofihe spurs, and he himself almost
deprived of reason, and half petrified with
horror. A loud roar of laughter broke
from the assembled band, at the rider and
his steed, and the whole corps ‘gave him
three times three hearty cheers as he bol-
ted into camp. He was carried to his
quarters in triumph, there to dream oflov-
er’s metamorplioses, backward rides, stern-
way advances and alarm of invasion, and
thereby to garnish his mind with materials
for writing a splendid treatise on the novel
adventures of a cow story.
UNEARNED MONEY.
However common may be the desire of
sudden wealth, yet it may be safely affirm-
ed that money is never so much enjoyed,
or so pleasantly or judiciously spent, as
when hardly earned. The exertion used
in obtaining it is beneficial alike to the}
health and spirits. It affords pleasure in?
the contemplation, as the result of effort‘
and industrv, a thing which unearned mon-
ey cau never impart; and the natural al-
teration oflabor and relaxation tends to
preserve the body in health and keeps the
mind from the injurious extremes of either
parmsiinony or prodigality. Unearned
money on the contrary, as it is obtained
without an effort so it is often spent with-
out a thought. There is no healthful ac-
tivity used iu acquiring it; no putting
forth of those energies, the use of which
tends so greatly to elevate and purify; no
skill oi perseverance called into action;
and it is seldom that it is possessed to any
great extent without injuring the posessor.
lt induces a distiite for labor and activity;
it lulls to ignoble rest in the lap of circum-
stances; it alliires to float along with the
stream, instead of the healiliful labor of
stemming the tide of difficulty; and he had
need be something more than mortal who
can posse~s much of this unearned money
without being in his_moriil nature some-
what paralyzed and debased. Naturally
rampant as are the weeds of sloth and
sensuality in the human heart, that condi-
tion of life in which there is not only
work to be done, but work which must be
done will be the safest and the best. Mon-
ey seldom ma‘-. es men better, either pbysi
cally or morally, and often makes them
worse. Seldom does a man become more
healthy in his body as money increases;
seldom does his mind become more pow-
erful as his purse becomes heavier; not
always does his heart beat more benevo-
lently as his wealth accumulates. But if
money, even when laudably gained by
wholesome exertion and enterprise, be of
doubtful or injurious effect upon its pos-
sessor, doubly hazardous and painful must
be the possession of that money which is
unearned and untoiled for, and which only
leaves the disposal of time at the mercy of
idle dreaminess or ingenious mischief and
cherishes the growth of those rank weeds
of the heart which are most succpssfully
checked by wholesome exercise and occu-
pation.
Fifty per cenl.—Some men fail so fre-
quently, that it may almost be said of them,
they do “nothing else.” We wish they
would all follow the example of Mr. Jones.
There once lived, in the city of Boston,
a certain Mr. Jones. This same Mr- Jones
was an eccentric man‘—-very much so; and
The officer, it appears, rode a very small
horse of ilie pony kind; wlii Ii he always:
left untied with the bridle reins over nis
neck near the door, in order to mount and.
ride off without delay, when the business,
of courting and kissing was over; and the
horse always remained until backed by the
owner, without attempting to change his
position. On a certain very ‘dark night,
when the officer had, as usual, gone to pay
his devotions to the object of his affec-
tions, and was enjoying the approving
smile's"‘of the lovely fair one, his waggish
companions went privately to the door of
the house Where the oflicer was, took his
bridle and saddle from the horse which
they sent away, placed the bridle on the
tail, the saddle on the back, and the erup-
per over the horns ofa quiet old cow, who
lstood peaceably chewing her cud, near,
fthe spot. Immediately thereafter, they’
Cretired some distance from the house, and,
separatiiig, raised the loud cry of alarm,
that the enemy had landed and were
marching into the village. .
Our hero, on hearing this, took council
"from his fears, and snatching a hasty kiss,
cannon ball, and mounted into the saddle,
fwiili his back towards the head of the cow,
land plunging his sharp spurs keenly into
.her sides, causing her to bowl out with ex-',
Zcessive pain, and she darted offin her best?
lgallop towards the camp. The ‘officer,
gsiill plying his spurs with all his wine and
‘love on board, finding himself hllrrletl
backwards, maugre all his efforts to,ad-
vance; and hearing the repeated bawlings
of the tormented beast, imagined that he
was carried off by magic, and roared out
most lusiily that ihe devil had got him-
and was thus carried into the very centre
of the camp. ‘
l‘he sentinels hearing the noise, dis-
charged their pieces and fled; and alarm
guns were fired. the drums beat. to arms,
the oflicers left their quarters and cried,
turn out! turn out! with all the strength
of their lungs. The soldiers started from
their sleep as if a ghost .hnd‘cr.oéS¢_d it-hell‘

among his many other peculiarities was
that of failing in business once in every
two years. ‘Some people now a days have
the same extraordinary habit. Mr. Jones
always paid his creditors fifty per cent-
no more nor no less than fiiy per cent.—
A very dignified and pompous man was
Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones failed again—made
an assignment of his effects as usual, and
was very much surprised when his assig-
nee said to him——-
“Mr. Jones, we shall declare a dividend
of forty‘per cent.” ,
“Sir,” said. Mr. Jones, in a verfifllignified
manner, “you must make it fifty, sir. I
always pay fifty cents on the dollar, sir.”
“It can't be done,” said the assignee.
“It shall be done,” said Mr.Jones, eleva-
ting his right hand. , _
“We have not enough property in our
hands to do it,” said the ussignee-
“Sir,” said Mr. Jones, “declare fifty per
cent. Ialways pay fifty per cent-—-and,
,sir. if you have not sufficient property in,
your hands to pay fifty per cent, I sir, will?
pay the balance out of my own pocket!”
A word to the “bone and muscle,” to the '
ics’ shops. Polk ar.d Walker tell you that
the United States must export her products
toforeign markets. What then follows’!
Why, just this and nothing else: they
must be sold at foreign price, and the
wages which you will get must of course,
ultimately be onlyforeign wag-es—from n
sixperice to a shilling a day! It is all
usnsense to think of high WtlgeS.tO the;
Yankees, when the products of their labor‘,
are" to be sold atfm-eign prices. We musti
comeilown to the British standard when.
we enter the British market: we must
come down on all our producis—the man-,
ufactui-ed article, the raw material, and the ?
labor; and between the manufacturers,»
farmers and laborers, the only strife will
be to see whose noses shall first come to
the British grinclstone. In,ih_e end, you

THE 'I‘ELEGRAP,I-I. .
The first Message ofltziov. Young to the
N. Y. Legislature, was .communicated to
the Legislature at Albany, on the 5th, at
16 minutes before 12 o'clock-—-and was
transmitted to New York by the New
York, Albany and Buffalo Telegraph Coin-
pany,|and(-itli_e entire C‘l0cl1¥lr'll'lt,](_3£(()]I.nplelef,‘
was p ace in possession 0 tie itors 0
this City at 3 o’clock P. M- The Message
contained 5000 words or 25,000 letters,
and was written from two instruments in
the Albany office, and read in the New
York office at the average rate of 83 letters
per minute, or two and a half hours for
each instrument. We presume there’are
some inaccurracies in the copy thus rep-
idly transmitted.
Professor l\’Iorse’s original estimate to
.Congress for the dispatch with which com-
munications could be sent by his telegraph,
was thirty letters per minute :_here we see
the number almost trebled in aflong pub-
lic document. T;z'.b.
Mr. Royal E House has a machine for
writing with the Electric Telegraph, which
produces perfect and beautifully formed
printing letters as rapidly and with as much
ease as dots and lines are made by the
registers now in use.
T/2-'* Fa7'mer’s Creed.—-VVe believe’ in
small farms and thorough cultivation.-—
The soil loves to eat as well as its owner,
and i.l'ierefore to be nurtured. We believe
in large crops, which leaves the land bet-
ter than ihey found it—making' both the
farmer and the farm rich at once. ‘We
believe in going to the bottom of a thing;
and, therefore, in deep ploughing and
enough of it-——all the better if with a sub-
soil plough; that the bcst fertility of any
soil in the spirit of industry, enterprise
and intelligence; without this, lime and
gypsum, bones and green manure, marl or
plaster, will be of little use Vile believe
in good fences, good burns, good farm
houses, good stock, and good orchards.
We believe in ii clean Litclien, a neat wife
in it, a spinning pianno. a clean cupboard,
dairy and conscience. We firmly disbe-
lieve in farmers that will not improve; in
farms that grow poor every year; in starv-
ed cattle; in farmer’s boys turning into
clerks ‘ind merchants; in farmer’s dangli-
iers unwilling to work; and in all farrriers
who are ashamed of their vocation or who
drink whiskey till honest men are ashamed
of them.
'I’rim'f_i/ C/zurc/z ./7fi'az'-rs.-—It is stated
by the Express that a meeting has teen
held by some thirty gentlemen, Protestant.
Episcopalians of the city of New York,
including several clergyman, among whom
were Rev. Drs. Tyng and Antlioii, Rev.
Messrs. I3alcli,'Bcdell, &c. at which it was
resolved to join issue with the corporation
of Trinity Church, before the Legislature
(if possible) with aview of compelling the
division of the funds of that corporation
among all in communion of the Protestant
Eoiscopal Church.
Rumored D1'sas.’er.—A Washington cor-
respondent of the Belt. Patriot writes-~
“There is a rumor here that the frigate
Congress has been lost in the Pacific ocean,
and all on board of her. I know not
whence the rumor came. No one seems
to know. It is, therefore, most likely to be
untrue.
The Congress was the flag ship of Com-
modore Stockton, and one of the new forty
fours.
The most extraordinary thing seen lately
in this age of wonders are the Vienncise
Dancers. Their evolutions are perfect
fairy work—wliile they themselves appear
to have just stepped out alive, from the
Arabian Nights Entertainment. The ac-
curacy, rapidity and beauty of their ma-
neuvers would seem an impossible achiev-
ment save to a company of creatures with
wings. The little creatures are all pretty
and interesting.
The Vlfashington correspondent of the
Savannah Georgian, in attempting to apol-
ogize for Mr. Polk’s piisilianimous conduct
in the affair with Mr. VVise, says that “Mr.
Polk has no taste for bear—t‘glits.” His
late Oregon negotiation showsthat ke has
quite as little taste for a Bull-fight.-—Lozo

Salt Rz'ver.—Affairs at Salt river are
said to be in a bad plight. The stream is
a. very narrow one, and as the defeated
democrats are pushing up to the head ofit
in such numbers,tbey encounter the Whigs
coming down in full sail, and the collisions
which take place are said to be shocking
to the feelings of seine of them.
M. de Marolles said of a ceusorious
neighbor , “His mouth costs him nothing
for he always opens it at the expense of
others. 1 wishthat some day he would
bite his tongue, for then he would poison
himself.”
It is one of the most common errors of
mank nd, to think that the possession of
something which they cannot attain,would
greatly increase theirhappiness.
