Early to Bed and Early to Rise* BY ELIZA COOK. "Early to bed and early to rise—” Aye, note it down in your brain, For it belp' tli to make the foolish wise, And uproots the weeds of pain. Ye a ho are walk! ■ g on thorns of care, Whoiighfor s-ftofiet* bawer, Try what can be done in the morning sun, And make use of the early hour. Full many a day forever is lost, By leaving its work till to-morrow. The minutes of sloth have often cost Long years of bootless sorrow And ye who would win the lasting wreath Os cont ent and peaceful bower. Ye who would couplelabor and health, Must begin at an early hour. Wo make bold promises to time, Yet. alas! too often break them; We mock at the wings of the King of Kings, And think we can overtake them. But why loiter away the p> imc of the day, Knowing that clouds may lower? Is it not safer to make Life’s hay In the beam of the early hour. ,; Nature herself ever shows her best, " ast I j . , , , . s green Os gems to the gaze ot the lark W’hen the spangles of light o' i ■ FiiFout o>e stajSn»Tt? w^**^*st * > If we love the purc^ of ,he flower [ ,we ® t I And the ricin ‘ the freah and the !

THE «»H IK SNAKE.” The New Engin'd Firmer, dwelling I upon this singular species of ‘Animated] Nature,’ says: ‘Science has not satisfactorily deter-, mined either the origin or the modes oft existaiiee of these animals. In reply to I inquiries by a correspondent of the Michigan Farmer, who found hair snakes in a pan of milk. Mr. Justus Gage, of that Stllte, furnishes a very interesting account of his experiments and observations. He is satisfied of the fact that both the large and small crickets deposit these snakes in water, during the month of August; but whether the cricket resorts to wanir to rid itself of a para- its or to deposit a natural produce of its body be is unable to determine. Mr. G. says, that one rooming after ho had been experimenting in his room, by throwing ciickets into w iter to obtain snakes, and had succeeded in protnohej tn Rrigth, he noticed a blaek cricket crawling up the side of his water pail, ’it jumped into the water lay quiet lor a moment, produced a make nearly seven inches in length, and then nimbly made its escape over the edge of the pail,’ He also found a live hair snake, nearly seven inches in length* coiled up in the abdomen of a dead cricket that lay on its back under a flat stone.— The hair snake, he said, will live a long time in moist earth, where he has found them of a grayish or white color, sometimes of great length, and much resembling the fibrous root of some vegetable. NVi.cn seen through a magnifying glass, the Imir strake presents almost exact resemblance to the lampreyeel. A lady of otir acquaintance found a hair snake in her teakettle, one morning a few years since. It had been standing where a cricket might have crawled in by the spout; but she ir. hardly willing to give up the theory of the girlhood, that it was a vivified horse hair.’ The Old st 'lnn in America. The Lancaster Examiner says that Peter Nassau, a colored man, now resident of Woodstock. Vermont, has reached the extraordinary ago of one hundred and twenty-six years? This fact has been established by N. ilaskell, Esq, town clerk of Woodstock; who has taken great pains] in order correctly to trace out Peter’s history. When quite young, became ns a gentleman’s servant from Martinique, his, native place, to Boston, but, for manv years past, Woodstock has been his home i Peter Nassau is as well known in Vermont as the green Mountains themselves. He I it of a thin, sqarc frame, and is nearly bald, but his skin is remarkably smooth and unwrinkled. He has no son, but seven daughters, two of whom vet lire in Woodstock, by which town he is supported Go, however, where he will, and he is fond of wandering about—lie always finds friends who are glad to give him food and shelter.—His eveoijrht is still good, and teeth remarkably sound for a man of bis oge. He converses freely, but, unlike most old men, is not garrulous. While he was silling in the office of the Wideon House, lately, tome one askeil him how many winters he expected to see. ‘Ah! said Peter, ‘if this yere house was olferd to ma all full of gold, 1 wouldn’t cent it to live my days over again.’ It is almost certain that Peter Nassau is the oldest living man in America. A Hamburg paper gives the following case of absence us mind:—'A girl, who was one of our first lovers, was one night lighting us out, after having past a delightful evening, and in bashful trepidation she blew us out of the door, and drew the can He behind lhe door and kissed it.’

A LIVE YANKEE. Professor Andet son was looking over the American and Foreign newspapers, in the office ofthe New York Dutchman, ■ when be saw that he was closely scruti-1 nixed by a gentleman of tall statute and , swarthy complexion and who was evidently from the country. The following conversation took place: ‘I say! you are Professor Anderson, hey?’ •Yessir.’ •Wai, you’re a tarnation smart man, 1 hear Yeou havn’t got the bottle with you, have yeou?’ ‘No sir.’

‘Well, Pm from down east, hev beet raised in Maine, and I should like to pus alias a duplicate of that are bottle a^ s going out stumping for • -'■‘oGier if 1 had your bottle or its t»‘iout ta.kI’d soon swamp the Scot*' ing politics either.’, -“tie with me, nor ‘I never carrv ■ jl **• have I a dur w sir >’ SI,IJ tbe stum ‘ ] <y O rrv fer ’ continued,* 1 was once ar .-trick, when a boy, bull almost huw the tiling was done. I’ll tell , ou how it was, stranger, as near as I can I used to take a red cent and change it into a ten dollar gold piece.’ ‘Oh,’ said the professor, that is quite simple a mere trick of slight of hand.’ KTiWrfa not very -firffimrit, but as I forgot how, will you show me?’ at the same lime handing a cent to the wizard. *oh, yes sir, if it will oblige you, I 1 will show you in a moment.’ ‘Hold ] your hand,’ said the wizard. ‘This is I your cent is it not.’ i ‘Yes, sir.’

‘Are you sure that you hare it?’ said • the wizard. ' ‘I guess I have.’ said he, ‘nnd Fll . bet a dollar you can’t change it into a ten dollargold piece.’ ‘Done,’ said the wizard, ‘now hold 1 fast.’ j ‘Yessir,! reckon I will—but stay' 1 down with your dollar; here’s mine! said I the Yankee. The wizard coverd his dollar. ‘Now sir open your hand.’ He did so, land to bis utter astonishment he held a ] bona fide ten dollar gold piece! j ‘Well sir,’ said the wizard ‘you see you : have lost your dollar.’ ‘I guess 1 nave,’ said he handing over ' the two dollars. ‘Now,’ said the Professor. ‘Fll bet I ’ you another dollar 1 will change the ten | dollar gold piece into your cent again much quicker.’ ‘No you don’t’ said the gent from I ' I Maine, placing the money in his pocket ] | and buttoning it tight. ‘l’m much oblige ] II to you professor, but 1 reckon I’ll leave ii. as it is. Good morning old hoss,' said ’; be, walking oul of the office, and turning | ■' round as he reached the door, he placed 1 his digitals in close proximation to his nose ! |and said: * 1 guess there ain't anything ’ green about this child, and left the pro- ' lessor in utter amasement at his coolness. Ii , r . „ ... ' j Skeleton of a Giant Found.—A day or two since, some workmen engaged in subsoiling the ground of Sheriff' Wickman, at his vineyard in East Wheeling. 1 came across a human skeleton. Although much decayd there was little difficulty in indentifying it, by placingthe bones which could not have belonged to other than a human body, in their origI innl position. The impression made by the skeleton itself, when measured by the i Sheriff and a brother in a craft locale, j both of whom were prepard to swear that i it was ten feet nine inches in length 1 Its I jaws and teeth were almost as large as • those of a horse. The bones are to be ; seen at the Sheriff’s Office.— Wheeling I Timei. City Fashions.—One of our parvenue ■ ladies, eminent fur her love of aristocracy ] and of exclusive privileges, visited the | , family of Major G—, who is so well known \ l as a gentleman of the old school; after enjoying the comforts of the tea table the ‘ • visitor remarked to Mrs, G : •Why' my dear lady, you don’t permit your hired help to sit at the table always with you, do you? for that is horribly vulgar.’ Mrs. G. answerd, ‘most certainly 1 do; you know that has ever been my practice it was so when you worked for me yourself—don’t you recollect?’ This was rather a severe, unpalatable mouth for silk and satin greatness or as the buys call it, ‘Codfish aristocracy,’ the ] lady ai last said, ‘I —be-lieve —it—was, when I come to recollect! but you know fashions change with limes and circumstances, Madam! i good day! good evening!’ I, Important to Sportsmen.—Not long • since a youtlifuf friend of ours accident- - ally swallowed a lead bullet; liis friends were very naturally much alarmed, and 1 1 his father, that no means might be spared ' to save his life, sent post haste to a'sur- : geon of skill, directing the messenger to ! tel! him the circumstance, and urge his *■ coming with out delay. ’ The doctor was found—heard the dis- ‘ mal tale, and with as much unconcern as he would manifest in a case of common headache, sit down and wrote the follow- ; ing laconic note: , Sir—Don't alarm yourself. If after . three weeks the bullet is not removed, | give him a dose of powder. Yours H.S. -, P.S. Don’t aim the boy at anybody. i Our friend Ferguson, having so much confidence in (he skill and experience of] tb« Doctor, ob«v« directions
