MUNGO MACKAY, THE PRACTICAL JOKER. Of all the devotees to the science of practical joking of all the inveterate manufacturers of mischief in this line of acting, the most systematically troublesome that ever I heard of was Mungo Mackay, of the town f Boston, on Massachusetts Bay. Others follow die sport as most men follow the hound or cultivate music as a recreation ; but Mackay might be said to follow it as though it were his trade. With them it is the by-play; with him it was the business of life. It vyas food and raiment to him; he could not exist without a plot; againsthe tranquility of the neighborhood he laughed but when others were in a rage andenjoyed to mark when those around him were suffering from the result of his inventive genius. His father died

just as he had grown to man's estate, leaving him a comlortable independence; and from that period he passed his days and nights in crusade against the good people of Boston. He was an Ishmaelitish wit; and truly "his hand was against every man, and every man's hand against him ;" and the hand of every woman too, from Chailes river to South Boston, and for many miles reund the villages, by a semicircle of which the ancient copitol of the land of steady habits is enclosed. One cold, raw night, in the year 18 ,the wind blew as though it would blow down old Faneuil Hall, and the rain fell in such torrents that Bunker Hill was nearly washed away. The sky was as black as "all round my hat," and the air was compounded of that delightful admixture of frost and moisture in which there is enough of the latter to open the pores, while the former goes directly to the heart. In the midst of the rumbling element a talljfigure might be seen wending stealthily along the narrow streets and lonely alleys, shod with a pair of fisherman's boots, and enveloped in a hugh pea-jacket for India-rubbers and Mackentoshes were unknown in those days until it halted under the window ofca lonely cottage at some distance from the town ; and, the family be ing some time in bed, knocked violently at! the door. At first, his rude summons were unanswered; but after repeated thumps a bed room window was thrown up, and a voice demanded who was there. 'Pray, sir,' said Mickay for it was he 'will you be kind enough to tell me ifa person named Nutf, lives in this neighborhood?' - . 'To be sure he does,'replied the voice from the window, 'he lives here. 'I am glad of that, for the night -is very stoimy, and I have something of great im portance to communicate to him. 'Of great importance ! of great importance did you say? I know of nothing very important that can concern me at this hour of the night: but what ever it i3 let us hear it. I am the person tliat you want.' 'Speak a liitle louder if you please,' said Mackay, ! am somewhat deaf, and the spout makes such a noise. Did you say your name was Null?' 'Certainly I did; and I wish you would make haste to, communicate woatevcr you have to say, for I liavo uatiiing on but my shirt and night cap,ind the wind is whistling through mo nation cold.' 'll ive you got an uncle in Boston very old and childless, worth ten thousand dollars?' . At this question a long pointed white-night cap was thurst out of the window, and in an iiistantjtogether with the shirt collar that followed it, was saturated with rain, 'What did you say about an uncle and ten thousand dollars? There is my uncle Wheeler very old and very aich but what of him?' 'Oh, nothing as yet. till I am certain of my roan. 1 here may be a good many .Pi utts about here It is J. Nutt 1 want,' - V 'I am the man,' said the voice in the nightcap. 'There is no mistake. There's not a man for twenty miles round of the name of iSutt but me; and besides my christian name is John, and I have an uncle in Bostan.' . By this time the- whole back and sleeves oi the shirt were out oi the window ;and the tassel at the end of the white-nighl-cap nearly touched the green palings in front of the house; ana,had there been light .enough lo have seen, a painter might have caught an attitude of anxiety, and face or rather two faces, for by this time there was a fe male peeping over Nutt's shoulder, beam ing with the anticipation of good fortune to come. 'Well,1 said Mackay, deliberately, 'I sup pose I'may venture to speak out, you cannot say it was my lault. 'Io, certainly not,' cried two voices from the window 'You say your name is John Nutt do you:' 'ido.' Wf1L thfin. all I have in sav is mmi th devil crack you P - - The two heads were drawn in like lightning Irom the ram; ana,as tne window was slmmed down with a violence that bespoke rage and disappointment, a loud horse laugh rose upon the wind, and the lover ofpracti-r cal jokes turned on his heel to trudge home ward through the mist, as the good woman inside was going in search of the tinder box to enable her to hunt up dry chemisea,shirts, and night-caps. -One pleasent Sunday morning, Mickay went to church betimes, teok his seat in a central pew, just under the shadow of the pulpit, and sat bolt upright with his arm3 ex tended, with an apparent degree ol unnatu ral rigidity, down by his sides, lie was presently surrounded by a half a dozen . fe males, nearly all ot whom " pnrrfo .r.'i '' a .'v.t.'.c ti 'nwpfrs to '.-. . .1 'V. ; Wi3 Mtil t,

the prayer was said, the sermon delivered in the preachers best style. He dwelt particularly on the acquirements of the great precepts of brotherly love; upon the beauty of universal benevolence; on the pleasures which arises not only from clothing the naked and ieeding the hungry, but from attention to the "minute and graceful courtesies and charities'of lifej by which the thorny paths are softened and adorned. In the language of the critics in such matters, "there was not a dry eye in the place, the appeal had found its way to every heart." . -' . AllMackay's immediate neighbors Were sensibly affected; he wept with them; the big tears chased each other down his cheek. But while every one was busy with their handkerchiefs wiping away "the water that the orator, like a second Moses, had, by the strokes of his eloquence, daused to gush from their flinty hearts, Mack held his ai ms stiff and strait while half a glass suffused his face. He riggled, fidgeted, looked confused and interesting, but raised no hand, searched for no handkerchief, and seemed to be in deep distress. At length a young widow lady, who sat beside him, remarked that he was ill at ease and (Heaven bless the female heart! it always melts at any mysterious sorrow, ) afetr one or two downcast looks and fluttering pauses, she said, in an under tone, 'Pray, sir, is there anything the matter with you? You appear to be unwell.' A.h, madam,' breathed Mackay ,in a whisper, 'I am a poor paralysis, and have lost the use of my arms. Though my tears have flowed in answer to the touching sentiments of the pastor, I have not the power to wipe them away.' ; , In an instant a fair hand was thurst into a reticule and a whiter haudkerchief, scented with otto of roses, was appllied to Mackay's eyes. The fair Samaritan, seeming to rejoice in this first opportunity of practising what had been so recently preached, appeared to polish them with right good will. When she had done, Mackay looked unutterable obligations, but whispered that she would,increase them a thousand-fold if she would, as it wanted it very much, condescend to wipe his nose. The novelty of the' request was thought nothing of: the widow was proud of the promptitude she had displayed in succoring the distressed and to a person who had done one kind action the second seems always easy." Her white hand and still whiter handkerchief, were raised to Mackay's cutwater: but the moment it was completely enveloped in the folds of the cambric, he

pave 'suchanrt'p''e as mad t!-tfhs!a c2i ring it was, in fact, more like a neigh. Tht minister paused in giving out the hymn; the deacons put on their spectacles to see what could be the matter; and in instant, every eye was turned upon Mackay and the fair Samaritan, the latter of whom being so intent upon her object, or so confounded by the general notoriety she had acquired, still convulsively grasped the nose. , There were hundreds of persons in that church who knew Mackay and his propen-: shies well, and a single glance was sufficient to convince them that a successful hoax had been played for their amusement. A general titter ran round the place, 'nods and becks and wreathed smiles' were the order of the day. Men held down their heads, and laughed : and the ladies had to stuff the scented cambric into their mouths, which had been so recently applied lo the sparkling fountain above. , ( At length something like order was res tored, the hymn sung, the blessing given amid stifled noises of various kinds, when the congregation rose to depart. The widow, up to this point, feelingly strong in the consciousness of having perormed a virtu ous acting upon a good-looking face,heeded not the gaze of the curious nor tha smiles ot the mirthful; but what was her astonishment when Mackay arose from his seat, lifted up one of his p:alytic hands, and took his hat nom a peg above his head, and with the oth er began searching his coat-pocket for his cloves. Thoush the unkindest cut of all was yet to come, for Mackay having drawn them on, and opened the pew door, turned, and put this question,in a tone the most insinuating, but still loud enough for fifty persons to hear. ; 'It. is not, madarn,a much greater pleasure to oparate upon a fine .looking Roman nose like mine, than upon such a queer little snub as you have'.1 . .. Reasons for kot Paying for a NewsrArER. The Richmond "Christian ; Advocate" publishes the following extract from a letter: ' - "Please say to the Editor of the Richmond Christt ian Advocate that it would doubtless be well to erace the name of C. C. from his books, and give up as gone that $7 60. He says, in the first place he nevei ordered the paper, and it he did he never got it, and if he did, 'twas as an agent : and besides he thinks he paid for it long ago, ?ud if he did'nt he's got nothing to pay, and if he had he could plead the act of limitation." . Home Protection. -Passing "Lafavetle Square" last evenine, we overheard two fellows who sat there discussing vary profoundly the leading party political measuresof the country. 'You is in favor of 'home protection' is n't you Jim?' said one ot them. 'Well I seckon I is, Bill,' said the other, 'but that what the Whias tells about home protection is all gammon-there an't no home protection.

BY , The following extract 13 from a speech of Mr. Clay, delivered in the Senate in 1832, in defence of the American System. It very clearly defines free trade, according to the theory of the Southern politicians ' "When gentlemen have succeeded in their design of an immmediate orgradual destruction of the American System, what is their substitute? Free trade! Free trade! The call for free trade is as unavailing as the cry of a spoiled child, in its nurse's arms,for the moon,or the stars that glitter in the firmament of heaven. It never has -existed, it pever will exist.- Trade implies, at least two parties. To be free, it should be fair, equal and reciprocal. But if we throw our pot ts wide open to the admission of foreign productions, free of all duty, what port of any other foreign nation shall we find open to the free admission of our surplus produce? We may break down all barriers to .free trade on our part, but tin work will not be complete until foreign powers shall have removed theirs. There would be freedom oil one side, and restrictions, prohibitions and exclusions on the other. The bolts, and the bart, and the chains of aU other' nations will remain undisturbed. It is indeed, possible,, tjiat our industry and commerce would accommodate themselves to the unequal and unjust state of things: for, such is the flexibility of eur nature, that it bends itself to all circumstances. The wretched prisoner incarcerated in a jail, aftera long time becomes reconciled to his solitude, and reglarly notches down the passing days of his confinement. , Gentlemeu deceive themselves. It is not free trade that they are recommending to our acceptance. It is in affect, the British colonial system that we are invited to adopt; and, if their policy prevail, it will lead substantially lo the recolonization of these States, unto the commercial dornin ion of Great Britain."

DEFINITION OF "FREE TRADE" MR. CLAY.

In a Revolution successfully commenced, how long could Russia rely upon such an array? or upon troops like those in Findland, whose hearts are with their old allies though a cruel policy has politically, not in affection, severed them from their old associates? Where is the alliance between Liberia and Russia, Turkey and Russia, Georgia and Circassia and Russia any more than between Poland and Russia? The mountaineers now at war with Russia are men who never have been conquered. By a sacrifice

ui iue, me exxem 01 wnicn ine world can never know, for the proclamation of defeat here would be worse than death, they are kept in the fastness of their rocks, excepting when at times they descend like a tornado upon their enemies. These men love freedom with a spirit that makes life no boon without it, and it has been well confirmed that there are many of them who bear their mountain soil along with them to the rocks j where their rude camps are in order to ob- j tain from it the nourishment necessary to ! save them from starving! - Nature has given ! those men a strongexffotress than walls of earth or iron or brass.'and an attempt to scale their rock bound heights, or penetrate their guarded chasms, would be next to scaling the walls of heaven. The effort to subdue them has cost many a poor Pole his life. 1 he revengeful spirit of Nicholas which has rown stronger and stronger since the revolution rather than abated in the lapse of time, as one would have supposed, is the spirit ot his generals. - An order sends the army of Poland to the Uralian mountains, to the border of Persia or Partary, any where, where the service is hardest and the miles will count the most between home and a battle field, and there compelled to serve ten years at least, they drag out a miserable ex istence, but tew not one man ot a hundred, ever setting eyes again upon the home of his chilehood and the land that he loves. .The system of conscription is more dreaded in Poland than a Wasting pestilence, for the one is a sudden summons to the creator, and the other a sort of living death, which is to endui ed till the decay of age seuda its miserable victim to the grave. To avoid conscription, therefore, many young Poles fly their country forever, or until a better day may dawn upon it, as soon as they reach the age when the law can command their service. Like Scotland in the days of Macbeth such a land may be almost afiiad to know itself and is rather to be Galled the grave than the mother of the people, "THE LARGEGTIAMOND. No diamond is known to exist sl large as that of the King of Porugah found ia the river Abaite, about ninety-two leagues toN. W. of Sierro de Frio. The history of hs discovery is romantic:-' ' , Three Brazilians, Anto de Souza, Jose Felix Gones, and Thctnas de Souza, were sentenced to perpetual banishment in the wildest part of the interior.- -Their sentence was a cruel one; but the region of their exile was the richest in the world; every river lolled over a bed of gold, every valley contained inexhaustible mines of diamonds. An impression of this kind enabled these man to snjport the horror of their fate; they were constantly sustained by the hope ofdicovering some rich mine- They wandered about for nearly six years in vain, but fortune was at last propitious. An excessive drought had laid dry the bed of the river Ab uie,and here, while working for gold, they discoverod a diamond of nearly an ounce in weight. Overwhelraned with joy, they resolved to proceed, at all hazards to Villa Rica, and trust to the mercy of the crown. The governor, on beholding the magnitude of the gem, could scarcely credit the evidence of senses. He immediately appointed a commission of the officers of the diamond district to report on its nature, and on their pronoun cin it a real diamond, it was despatched to Lisbon. The sentence of the three condemnados, was immdiately reversed. The value of this celebrated diamond has been estimat ed by Rome de 1'Isle at the enormous sum of three hundred millions sterling. It is un cut, but the late King of Portugal, who had a passion for precious stones, caused a hole to be bored through it,jin ordert to wear it suspended about his neck on gala days. An old writer, Southey, who wrote in 1670, thus describes some men of this day, and in drawing their character, he has, a3 with a pencil oflight, drawn the characters of the Jcbn Tylers of ihc present day j , "So fatally does the towering, aspiring humor of ambition intoxicate and upon mens' minds, that they shall do the basest, the vilest and most odious things imaginable, and that not only in defiancs of conscience, but which is yet more imprudent and intolerable, shall even allege conscience itself as the ve ry reason for the doing them So that such wretches shall out of mere conscience be tray the country that bred them, and having first practised a dispensing power, upon all Law within them, shall help to let them loose on all Laws without them too: and when diey have done shall wipe their mouth with as boon a grace and as bold a front look the world in the face, as it they expected thanks for such villanies, as a modest malefactor would scarce presume to expect a pardon for." .

DEATH IN. THE WHITE HOUSE. FROM THE. CITIZEN SOLDIER. Tread softly with a solemn footstep, whisper your words in a low voice, and let your breath be hushed; for the air of the chamber is heavy with death, and the faces of all you see are stamped with grief, and the suppressed sob of the women, and the deep death groan of the strong man in mortal 'agony, mingle their notes of woe, breaking on your ear like voices from the grave, and all around is still and sad and fearful for the Hero ia dying. Iliskeen eyo which a month ago, met the gaze of millions,, hailing him,' in all the pomp of civic triumph, their Leader and their Ruler, is now glazing with the chill of death, and his soul is passing from the Visible to the Awful Unseen. .; He is dying! The light of the breaking day falls dimly through the half closed shutters, the lamp burns with a sickly glare, and in the mingled light appear the faces of the watchers by the bed-side of the dying, faces wan and ghastly with prolonged anxiety and anguish. - He 13 dying his face, turned towards the heavens, is palid and waii, the. cheeks are hollowed, the eye st'nken; and the brow damp with the dews of death, with the masses of gray bans falling back from iis outline stands out boldly in the light, speaking much of the might of the Hero's mind, while the whitening lip, the convulsive throb trembling along the leugth of the face, the heaving chest and throat straining with the death rattle, all announce the passage of the grave, and herald the approaching of the Skeleton God. And around him gathered the friends of his path, and the sharers of" his-triumph there was Webster with his towering brow and eagle eye, there Crittenden and Cw1 no and Grangee, men of mind fjotu all parts of this wide union; and there with a face stamped with genius, and marked with a high honesty of purpose, George E. Badger, the pride of North Carolina, and all here gathered round the bed-side, ' to see the mighty man fight his last battle, and after having battled Death an hundred times in the field, after having hanled with enemies more bitter than death, with slander, . with ialiebood, with low ca'urnniatioL, the Hero was at last yeilding to the final victor of all, whose throne is on the skulla of rations and whole sway is over the realms of Tiuio. . : , A myn'l: . aao-1 ifsr-S.'

Great Land cf the New World Freedom; a month ago he had stood on the Capitol, and his gaze had been met by the Pze of millions, and the earihquake shout of a free people had sounded in his ear and filled the clear heavens aoove, and now--the short space of a single moon had waned themsign'a of Power had scarce grown cold the last shout w;is yet sounding ill the ear, and he wa-.?tinunoned by a mightier than the kings, or the people, to the throne of the Eternal Gndi He was dying! And the see terrible night of Tippecanoe were r.ga'm around him, the dark and fearful nighwhen the yell of the savage and the gleam of the scalping knife were in his camp; again ho led his riflemen to the quick struggle of hfc for lile; again he blouled the watchword of the charge, and a faint smile stole over the lips of the dying man, as again he behi Id the banner of stars aryl stripes iu triumph. Hark a faint murmur breaks from hi lips his bauds clutch nervously at the vacant air. , lie is again beside the Thames, lie is again with Johnson and Shelby; he is again beside Perry, and again the blue smoke of the rifle winds up from the green woous,anu the war hoop of the Indian sweep along the plain. Then the terrible contest '.the sweep of Dick Johnson's mounted Riflemen in their hurricane chargejigain passes before hi 3 eye, and the old Hero, would shout with joy but the death iatde is in his throat, and ths death dew on his brow. Be is dying! for his death, the bright eyes of woman shall be dim with tears and aged men shall weep, and a "nation will be .-ad and gloom and civil corruption and legalized anarchy shall pass like a pall of gloom over -the land, and yet the fiat has gone forth,God has spoke it, and the Hero dies, ere yet the rejoicings of the nation are lost to hi3 ear. And in that terrible moment when h..J hands were interlocked with 1 the hands l death, when his mind was armed to supe--natural vigor, and the Past and Future miniled to his vision, then the thought of i. j. country arose on his mind, then the thought, of the trust placed in his hands by iha pto1 . t , 1 '.1. 1 pie, burdened his soui, ana wan me i-w struggle of Lfe, he imagined a man ot 11 sble heart and resolute soul standing befor t: him, he imagined a successer of mind an .1 intellect, and the words broke from his lip "I wish you too understand the true pr'.nnVs of Government 1 ask vou to them out -I ask nothing more'."' . 03-J ust hear what Mike Walsh says cf '! 0 law in his Subterranean of the 16th, insu "Laws are made to protect the rich sail punish the poor.
