From ihe New England Farmer. paramowit punn.ng or sitting up, and sitting down A chap once told St. Patrick's Dean, Wbiie rising from li is seat, "1 mean, To set up for a wit." " All 4 1" qoth Hie Dean . if that be true, The very best thing yon can do, Is down again to su" Too many, like that would-be wit, Set up for what they are not tit, Atid always lose their aim ; Set up for wisdom, wealth, renown, But end the farce b sitting down, With povfcrty and s'ame. A middling farmer thinks he can Stt up to be a gentleman, And then sit down consent , But afier man. a turn and twist, Is stt doxcn on the pauper list, A fool , not worth a cen t ! When farmer's wires and daughters fair Set up with silks and leghorns rare, To look most wondrous wining, They Sit upon a slipery stand, Till indigence with iron hand, Upacts heir underpini ng Some city ladies, too, whoe geer, lls made to them their husbands dear, Set up to lead the ton , Though they s;t high on fashion's seat, Age death or povert?, albeit Vill sit them doicn anon. Some ftrls stt v.p to live by law, And though they are "all urn-Jaw," Soon fail for Lick of brains , But had the boobies only just Known where they ought to si at first, TheyM savc'd a world of pains. A quack sets up the doctor's trade, But could he use the Sextou.s spade No better than his pills, The m m might toil from morn to night, And find his ma!ch with all bis might To bury half he kills. You may set up for what you chose As easil . as wear old shoes. If e'er so low at present ; But when you have set up in vain, And find you must set down again, ,Tis terribly unpleasant Soon after the treaty of peace, which secured to the United States their independence the master of an American vessel in London, fell in company with Botne sharpers, who urged him very much to join them in drinkin a h tlle ur two of porter. He not aware of their design consented and went with the in to a pu die house, where after they h id all drank freely E ig Uli ncn dropped off one by one, u nil at last the Yankee was left quite alone- The inkeeper coming in says to him. that lie supposed he was not much acquainted with "their E tg. lisii blades.. I am not" replied the Anericm, 'Well" Said the iokeeper 'the reckoning falls on you," "d ies it" replied the other, effecting surprize, and clapping his hand into his pocket as if to take out the mo iy hut pausing aid "Well if this b the case, ei e ffie another holtle lit fore 1 go." The iokeeper stepped out to g tit; in the me.au time the American with a piece of chalk wrote on the table " leave yu American handles to your E lih Mates" and walked off ia Ins turn. from the National Journal. What is beauty ? A key to the heart of the beholder the apology for many follies, and the inducement to many more. (Jan I buy it? Mo but you tnav buy the person who ?.as it. What are romances made off Stories of people who never lived, chronicles of things never known, and relations of words never spoken. What are Ihey good for ? To sof'.eu the heart, flmii the fancy aud refine the taste.

An Trishrnara seeing an outside passenger of an English tage coa h covered wi h dust, observed, that if he was a potatoe he might grow without anv further planting. "Happiness is much more equally divided than ome of us imagine. One man dial I possess most of the materals, but little of the thing: another may possess much of the thing, but very few of the raateralu In this particular view of i ; happiness has been beautifully coinp ir d to the m mna in the desert, he that gtther d much had over, and he thai skittered lit tie had no lack : therefore, to diminish envy, let us consider not what others possess, but what they enjoy ; mere riches may be the gift of lucky accident or Miml chance, but happiness mut be the result of prudent pref -rence and rational d s:gn ; t e highest happiness then can have no other foundation than the , deepest wisdom ; and the happiest fool is ony as happy as he knows how to be."

SiTGULR IIegurts. AChiese of forty years of age, who had a very passion ite mother, frequently received from her a sound beating, which he alwavs bore with ex nnpliary patience. A friend who knew the life the poor fellow led, called ou him just after he had received a severe dru t. ping from his mother, found him disol veil in tears, & quite icoosolible. " Vhat" 'said the friend, "can be the cans of this in Hitlerite srief? " A i! replit-il the poor fellow, umy dear mother did not thrash me half so soundly to day as she used to do. Poor crea'ure! her strength is fast dectioiog; I am much atraid that 1 shall soon lose her ."
