The old man leaned back and laughed till the whole top of his head was red, and the child put on new dignity and said: j - . "Do you think I'd lie; thir? Dont you think I'm bigenbugh for a hired girl, thirl" "Then you couldn't agree with your mother ?" he asked as soon' as he could control his merriment. ! "No, thir.

(OING TO LAW. Two Dutchmen who had built; and used in common a small bridge over . I . - . - 'i " ; a stream which ran through their farms,! had a dispute concerning some repairs wlii:h it required, and one of them positively refused to bear any portion of the expense necessary to the purchase of a few planks. Finally the aggrieved party went to a neigliboring lawyer, and placing $10 in, his hand; said : "I'll gif you all dish moneys if you'll tnake' Hans do justice mit de pridge." . ' , -. - . ; ; 1.' "How much will it cost to repair it?" asked the honest laivyer. ' ."Not more as five dollar," replied the, Dutchman.. 1 "Very well," said the lawyer, pock eting one of the notes and giving him the other, "lake this and go get the bridge repaired : 'tis the best course you can take." ; " Yas'-. said the Dutchman slowly.

Bevc are of evil thoughts. They have done great mischief in the wo rid. Bad thoughts come , first; bad words follow, land! bad deeds finish he progress. L Watch against them. Strive against them. P,ay ( acrainst them. ' They prepare the . ' . i . way for the enemy of souls. I Bad thought's a thief ; he acts his part. Creeps J through the windows Of the heart : s And if he once his way daft win, He lets' a hundred robbers in. ' A pretty girl says : I "If it was wrong for Adam to live single when there was not a woman on earth, how guilty are the old bachelors with the world full of pretty girln." CONSTANT EMPLOYMENT- The -mau who jis obliged to be constantly employed to earn the necessaries "of ; life' and support his family, knows noV' the unhappiness he prays for when he desires wealth and idleness. To be constantly busy is to be always happy.: Per spris who i have suddenly acquired .wealth, broken up. their active jjur suit3, and beguu ' to live at their easeftcaste ti'jvayand die in a very short time. Thousands would have been blessings to the world, jmd added to the commou stock of Hap piness, it they had been contend to remain in an humble sphere 'and earned every mouthful oi food hat nourished their bodies. But no: fashion aud wealth took posses jion of them, and they were, com pie lety ruined;-;'.';- ,v'i';.,' J ' They ran away from peace Sand pleasure, and embraced; a ljngering death. Ye who are ; sighing I for pomp and splendor of life, be wire 1 Ye know norwhat ye wish. No situation however exalted j , no wealth, howeyer magnificent ; no honors, however glorious, can yjield you solid enjoyment while dispon tent lurks in your bosom. ?The secret; of happiness lies, in thisj: to be always contented with your lot, and never sigh tor the' splendor of riches, or the magnificence of jfash ion and power. Persons who' are always busy, and 1 go cheerfully to their" daily tasks, are the .least dis turbed ' by the fluctuations of; busi ness, .and at night sleep with pe:rfect composure. A CITY IN TWO STATES. Bristol is perhaps ihe Only city in the -world that ha two raaj-or two city governments, polices, &c, and that is taxed; in two States. - The line between Tennessee and; Virginia is in Main street, and it givesj rise to many tunny scenes ; as, for exam ple, the runaway, coiiple neejd no I coach-i d ipur, but, arni-in-arin step across Main street and are wedded. The fugitive - commits a crime in Virginia, goes to the pavement n.the other side of the street,and talk defi antly to the ofliceron the opposite side, who has a warrant for his aWet A stumble or a too bold disposition will sometimes bring him to rief. Several instances have occurred of fugitives being hustied across the line by a party prepared while in the act of holding a 'cdnversationj and they tell of a man . who defiantly perched himself on a pile of Jstore boxes within six feet of the line jeering the officers on the, othe side but,- unfortunately' for'j.lni, ome more law-abiding I citizens tilted the boxes, and when he 'reached the, ground, to his extreme mortification, he found that he was in the bther State.

In that moment the visions of a useful and honorable career were destroyed ; and oie of worihles8ness, if not absolute dis honor, presented itself.
