ALL IS VANITY. W hat are riches? But a bubble, What is fame? Buttoil and trouble, What is genius? ’Tis a spark That soon grows dark. What is beauty? But a flower. What is love? An April shower, Whatis friendship? ’Tis the lilly Just born to die. What are honors? Empty spoil, W’hat is learning? Labor, toil. What is youth? An unspan thread; And how soon shred? What is language? Empty breath, What is age? Herald of death. What is time? One moment seo Forerunner of Eternity The Third Person Versus The First. The other day, in one of the Paris restaurants, a party of literary men were discussing the merits of various epistolary styles. One of them, Monsieur A made a fierce attack on letters written in the third person, such as ‘Monsieur X has the honor to inform ,’ and soon. Another of the party defended them, maintaining that they were more ceremonious, more polite. •That’s a good idea,’ replied Monsieur A. . ‘The foundation of all politeness, in letter-writing, is to express clearly what you mean to say. Now, nothing can be more ambiguous than these confounded notes in the third person. I will just tell you what happened to myself. About the middle of May, I received ftom mv friend D , the chief of division, a billet deavx which 1 will show von.’

Taking the note from his pocket, Monsieur A read as follows: •Monsieur D , chief of Division at the War Office, hastens to inform his friend Monsieur A , that he has just been named -Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.’ ‘You can fancy my delight at reading this note,’ continued Monsieur A . ‘I was the happiest man in the world: I ran to an engraver’s, and ordered him to make the flattering addition to my cards, •Monsieur A , Chevalier of of the Legion of Honor.’ I ran to a jewelers, and bought a cross of the purest gold. I ran to a silk mercer’s, and bought a piece of the richest red moire for my button hole. I ran to the houses of all my friends for the pleasures of receiving their congratulations, At last I ran to friend D *S as soon as I caught sight of him, 1 threw myself into his arms. •Ah, my dear fellow,’ I exclaimed, you have no idea what pleasure you have given. How shall 1 ever thank you sufficiently?’ ‘You are an excellent fellow, my worthy A ,to sympathize thus with my happiness.’ ‘Thank you for that expression, the decoration is mine, and the happiness is

yours.’ ■How is that? Have you received the Order?’ i ( ‘Certainly —have I not?' ‘No, my good friend; ’tis I who am now < made Chevalier.’ , •Yes?’ | •Yes. You deserve the honor more than I do; but, nevertheless, it has been conferred upon me.’ ‘But vou wrote me word that I bad received the cross.’ I took his letter out of my pocket, and showed it him. Alas’. I now understand clearly what meaning I ought to assign to the ambiguous phrase. •The deuce take you and your note!’ I said to D • ‘lnstead of your affected and formal announcement in the third person, why could you not write to me . •imply and plainly ‘My dear friend, I have the pleasure of informing you that I now am named Chevalier?’

•1 left him in a rage; I will never speak to him again as long as I live. Don v talk to tae of your polite notes written in the third person.’ A Lesson. —If we enter into conversation upon equal terms with the lowest of the people, unrestrained by circumstances, uuawed by interest, we shall find in ourselves but little superiority over them. If we know what they do not, they know what we do not. In general, those who do things for others know* more about them than those for whom they are done. A groom knows more about horses than his master. Those; who hold that a people should accommodate themselves to the policy of their rules, might as well ttach that a man should be cut and dipped by bl* tailor to fit his garments. A bit of Advick —You had better fiud out onu of row own ia'i'ts than ten your r.’-i^hb*-A.

A Hard Joke. The Mobile Advertiser, of the 15th ultimo, tells the following good story of a notorious practical joker in that city, yelped ‘Staight-Back Dick:’ Dick was at the wharf, one day last week, when one of the up-river boats arrived, looking, doubtless, for some unwary individual upon whom to exercise bis talent. He watched closely the countenance of each passenger as he stepped from the plank upon the wharf, and, at , length, fastened his gaze upon an individual who from his appearance and manners, was considerably nearer Mobile than he had ever been before. He was evidently ill at ease, and had probably heard ■ the reports which were rife in the country relative to the hundreds who were dying in Mobile every hour from yellow fever. The man started off toward Dauphin street, carpet-sack in hand, but had not proceeded far when a heavy hand was laid upon his shoulder and he suddenly stopped. Upon turning around, he met the cold, serious countenance of Dick, and it seemed to send a thrill of terror throughout his whole frame. After looking at him steadily for about a minute, Dick slowly ejaculated: ‘Yes, you are the man. btand straight. With fear visible in his countenance, the poor fellow essayed to do as commanded.

‘Straighter yet,’ said Dick. There, that will do, and taking from his pocket a small tape measure, he stooped down and measured him from the toe of his boot to the crown of his hat, took a pencil and caretully noted the height in his pocket-book, to the utter amazement of the stranger, after which he measured him across the shouldere and again noted rhe diinensirns. He then looked the stranger in the face and said: ‘Sir, I am very sorry that it ix so, but I1 really will not be able to finish it for ■ you before morning.’ ‘Finish what?’ asked the stranger, endeavoring in vain to appear calm. ‘Why, your coffin to be sure! You see, I am the city undertaker, and the people arc dying here so fast, that I can hardly supply the demand foreoffins. "You will have to wait until your turn comes, which will be to-morrow morning—say about nine o’clock.’ ‘But what the d—l do 1 want with a coffin? I have no idea of dying!’ •You havn’t, eh? Sir, you will not live two hours and a half. I see it in your countenance. Why, even now, you have a pain—a slight pain in your back.’ ‘Y-yes, I h-have,’ replied the trembling hoosier. ‘Exactly,’ said Dick, ‘and in your limbs too!’ ‘Yes,’ stranger, you’re right and I begin to feel it in the back of my neck and head.’

‘Of course you do, and unless you do something for it, you’ll be dead in a short time I assure you. Take my advice, now, go back aboard the boat, swallow down a gill of brandy, get into your state room and cover up with blankets. Stay there till you perspire freely, then leave here like lightning!’ Hoosier hurried on board that boat, i and followed Dick’s instructions to the I letter. On Monday he was met by a gentleman at Citronelle, to whom he related his wonderful escape from death by yellow fever, even after preparations were being made to procure his coffin. He savs be will never forget the kindness of the tali man in Mobile who gave him such good advice. Charity.— The best charity is not that which giveth alms, whether secretly or with ostentations. The best charity—which ‘wurketh no evil’—is the charity

that prompts us to think and speak well} of our neighbors. Even if they be open-, ly condemned and that with warrant, it is a noble charity in us not to gall their wounds i by multiplying knowledge of their offenses. We are all ashamed to confess that our quickest instincts are to think ill of others, or to magnify the ill of which we hear. There is a universal sbrugging’of the shoulders, as much as to say—well I expected as much—‘l could a tale unfold,’ and thus through an endless chapter, with which every reader will be somewhat familiar—from his or her own experience. Now one who says, ‘I could a tale unfold,’ yet hokls it back, leaving the hearer to infer any and every evil, stabs character with the meanest, deadliest blow. Yet who is there that carries not this ever-ready weapon—this poisoned dagger? The charity that gives, to help and not humilate is good but the charity that makes us ‘think no evil,’is better. Let us seek to possess this charity and practice it. for it alone, is tbe ‘CI arity that covereth a multitude of sins

The DAILY GLOBE w>ll cantam a renort of the Debates in both branches of Congress as taken down bv reporters equal, at least I to any corps of short hand writers in this, or in anv other country. When the debates of the Hav do not make more than forty five columns, they shall appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day, together with such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing events The CONG»BBBtONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX Will contain a report of all the Debates in Congress revised bv the speakers, the Messages of the President of the United States, the Annual Reports of she Heads of the Executive Departments the Reports of Committees of Congress on important subjects of general interest, the Laws passed during the session, aud copious indexes to all They will be printed on a double royal sheet,'in book form, royal quarto size, each numbur containing sixteen pages, averaging 2.395 words per page. The whole will make Between 1 700 and 2,000 pages. It is believed that no book has ever been published at so low a rate. Last year I advertised in the Daily Globe, for six months, and in about one hundred other l newspapers in the United States, a reward of I $215, to be paid to any person who would produce a book published at so low a rate, and none I was produced. The large number of copies ■Mibscribed for by Congress enables me to afford the Debates to subscribers so cheap. The Congressional Globe and Appendix pass free through the mails of the United States, as will be seen by reading the following joint resolution by Congress the 6th of August, 1852: JOINT RESUTION providing for the distrition of the Laws of Congress and the Debates thereon: With a view to the cheap circulation of the laws of Congress and the debates contributing j to the true interpretation thereoff, and to make ■ free the commuciation between the representative and constituent bodies — Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That from and after the present session of Congress the Congressional Globe and Appendix, which cootain the laws and the the debates thereon, shall pass free through the mails so lot gas the same shall be published by order of Congress: Provided, that nothing herein shall be construed to authorize the circulation of the Daily Globe free of postage Approved August 6.1852 1 TERMS.

A paper will not be sent uules the money accompanies the order for it. I cannot afford to exchange with all the newspapers that desire the Globe; but I will send the Daily Globe during the session to all who shall publish this propectus three times before the first Monday of next December. Those who may publish should send their papers containing” it to me. marked with a pen, to direct attention to it. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will be stereotyped, and, therefore, I shall be able to send the back numbers for this session so all who may subscribe after the session commences; but if the first edition shall have been exhausted before the subscription money is received. I shall charge $1 additional per copy to pay the expense of putting the plates on the press. Subscriptions should reach me as early as the first week of December to insure complete copies al the prices advertised above. JOHN C. RIVES, Nov. 19,1858. Washington City, D. C.
