MISCEIX AMY. WOMAN. 'HEATEK8 1AST, BEST GIFT TO MATT." "When star light gilds the brow of night, And zephyrs softly sigh, The orb that shines with brightest light, Attracts the seaman's eye ; But should the angry winds come forth. And1 waves more rudely jar, He turns at once toward the north, For there's his guiding star. And thus , though pleasure's circeau power Awhile the breast may thrill, Whene'er the storms of sorrow lower We turn to woman still. Her love 's a light, whose constant beam Illumes life's stormy years, Sheds o'er the heart a mi my gleam, And gilds our very tears.. This earth, till gentle woman smiled And back its darkness rolled, Like snow on some untrodden wild, Was pure, but oh ! how cold ! Our hearts are lit by woman's eyes, A3 stars light up the sea; Her love the vital warmth supplies, Hr voice their melody. Man is for woman made, . And woman made for man. As the spur is for the jide, As the scabbard for the blade. As for liquor is the can, So man's for woman made, . And woman made fur man . A9 the sceptre to be sway'd, As to night to serenade. As for pudding is the pan, As to cool us is the fan, fjo man's for woman made, And woman made for man. Be she widow, wife, or maid, Be she wanton, be she staid, Be she well or ill arrayed, So man's for woman made, And woman made for man . BREVITY OF LIFE. Man's life 's a vapor, And full of woes ; He cuts a caper, And down he goes . An Old Storv. Old stories, old news, old zoine, and old friends, never corns amiss. 'Arrah Paul," said one of them, will you tell ua the story about the time you wint up to buy the forty-piaim for Col. EJmondson's daughter, long ago?' 'Troftj I wasn't to be blempt for the same purchase; but Masther Frank Eitnondson, that put me up to it, out o' downright wickedness. A wough! it's there the money was as plinty assklate stone, or this young fellow would'nt be at such a loss to spind it in one diversion or anolher; for he ped dacent for bis figaries. I had ye see, an ordher for a piana-forty, to a Misthur, och, I disremember his name; but he lived in VVishtmoreland street, in the town of Dublin. 'Paul,' says Masthur Frank, 'will you have many things for ray father from Dublin?' 'Ye?, sir,' 6ays I,. 'I'll have a piana-forty, plase yer honor, an' a lot of carpetin an' two tables; only Masthur Frank, I'm afeared of losiu' my way in thet big place, or bein' cheated, or may be gettin' myself into gaol.' 4 Well,' said he 'I could sarve you, if you'd keep a sacret.' 'Thiy me wid it first,' says I. 'My father's a thrawiu' away money upon a piana-forty, an' he knows no more whether one is good or bad than a cow does of a holy day; neither does my shister;' an' he winked knowinly nt me. 4 It's well,' said he, 'that it was not a piana lifty, or a piana-sixfy, that he ordthred ; he's too lavish entirely of his money,' says the cute young sh iver; 'an' ii'd a shame for a man of his years to be buy in' a musical coffin, when it's ooe of oak he ought to be thinkiu' of; an' he winked so wiselv at me agin, that sora one o1 me even suspected he was only makiu' a hare ' me. 'Ttirue for your honor,' says I, 'it's makifi' his sowl he ought to be, sure enough.' 'Ay, an' all of us,' says he very solemnl) : 'but Paul, in regard to what I'm &pikin' about; I believe you're to pay forty pounds for this insthroment ,' says he, 'it's from that it's namod ; but if you take my advice, you wilr buy a piana-thirty,' says he, 'an' pjut the odd tec pounds in your pocket for the benefit of your wife and children. I've beeu very wild myself, Paul,' eays he, 'and lavished a great deal o' money, an' it's full time for me to begiu to be charitable -hem, hem!' 'Accordingly we made it up betwixt us, that I should buy a piana-thirty, an' pocket the differ ; but I got a writing from under his hand, that he should pay the money for me, if we'd be found out. 'Now,' says he, as he finished it, 'you may as well save twenty pounds as ten, tor if you show this to the musical ma;?, he'll take it in pl.ice often pounds: an' besides, it gives you a' good correcthur, an' that's a very useful thing in this world, Paul hem, hem.' Accordingly, when I came to Dublin, I went into a house where they fcowld them, and inquired to see a pi-anu-thirty. The man looked at me.

'Who is it for?' said he. 'You iron't tell to-morrow, nabour,' says 1, 1 barrin I change my mind. Hive you a musical coffin a good, 6lout) beneficial piana-thirty, that a man will get the Tvorth ofhis money of wear out of it?' He screwed his mouth to tha one side of his face, and winked at a man that stood in he shop, who it seem-? was a fiddler; but by gor, if Micky M'Orory had seen him! why I tuck him for a gintlemon! 'Are you a musicianerT says the other. '1 do a thrine that way,' says I, 'after Murph hem! I mane aftheraitin my dinner,' fays myself, putlin' on the bodah, because nobody knew me; 'but I never iee:ve payment for it; I'd scorn that.' 'How long are you out?' says he. 'Since last Winsday,' says I, 'I'm from home.'

'And where is that pra) V 'Behind Tullymt clesrag, in the parish of Teer-namuckfaubalumki-ihla-oeg.' 'I suppose,' says my customer, 'your last waistcoat was a great deal too sthrait for you.' 'Not so sthrait as your own is at present,' says I; (he was a small, screw'd up crature, like a whirthrifi.) 'Will you show m j the article I want?' D you see that shop over the way,' said he, 'at the corner? you'll get the article you want there!' I accordingly went over, and inquired of the man behind the counter, if he sell me a pi-ana-thirty. 'We sll nothin' here but ropis? says he 'thry over the way.' I thin went back to the fellow: 'you thevin sconce,' savs I, 'did you mane to make a fool o''me?' 'I never carry coals to Newcastle,' says the w3gabone: 'go horns to your friends, my honest fellow, an' you'll ase them of a great deal of trouble on your account ; they miss your musick afther dinner, very much,' says he. 'O 1,' says the fi Idler, 4'tis belter to direct the min properly; he's a stranger,' writin' down at the same time a direction for me. 4Go to this house and inquire for the owner of it; say you're from the countbry, an' have a pertecklar bu?ines9 that you can't tell no one but himself: an' depend upon it you'll get what you want.' 'O.FIset; an' at last found a great house, an' gave three or four thunderin' cracks at the door. 'I want to see the masther very bad entirely,' says F. 'What's wrong?' said a fellow all powdher, wid a tail growin' from his head down his back. 'I have news from the counthry for him,' says I, 'that I can only tell himself.' The fellow looked frightened an' runnin' up the stairs, brought down a gintlemon wid a wig an' black apron upon him.' 'Are yfu the musick man,' says I, 'that has the piana-thirty for sale? I want a musick coffin to buy.' 'Kick this scoundrel out,' says the ould chap: 'how durst you let him in at all? Oat wid him into the channel.5 In three minutes we war in one another's wool; but faix, in regard of way 1 had, I soon sowed the hall wid them; and was attackin' the ould fellow himself in a corner, within a lot of gintlemen and ladies came to liis assistance, the hearin' the milli murhers he rlz at the first dig in the ribs I hit him. 'You dam ould dust,' says I, lay in' on him, 'is this any threatment for a dacent man, that wants to give you the proferance in dalm' wid you, and to lave you good value for what 1 got, you muttering ould rap !' 'At last I was seized hand an' fut, till the ofHchers would be sint for to take me to jail. But thinkin of the correcthur that Masther Frank gaved me, I pulled it out, and put it into the hands of one of the gintlemen. 'Here,' says I,'ye ill-conditioned vagrants, read that, and ye'll find that I'm no bird for the crib: it'll show yees what I am.' 'Sure enough,' says he, lookin' at it, 'it describes you to a hair, you vaillian,' and he read it out. 'This is to satisfy, that the bearer Paul Kelly, is a big rascal; an' any perron securin' him will resave a rewaid of thirty pound?, as he has broke out o' jail, where he was confined for s-heep gtaliu. He is a man that squints wid one eye, and wears a long nose, turned with a sharp lookout towaids his left ynr.' 'May all kinds of hard fortune settle down upon him that wrote that!' says I: but he has fairly deeaved me, the limb of the devil, that he is. Gentleman,' ay? I, 'it's all bui a mistake. Let me go,' s jn s I, 'an' I'll never heed the musick for this day, any how: that I may never be a bishop, but it was all a mistake.' 'H wsomdiver, you'll find it a bad mistake to bate a bisop,' said one o' them. Oh man o' Moses!' says I, 'was the black gintlemon a bishop?' 'Paul, you're done for now ! Och, murther, gintlemen dear, it's all of our own roguery, or it would'nt happen to me, bishop jewel, an' forgive me; sure if I knew it, when I was peggin you up agin the corner in the nbs, I'd sutler all kinds of visitation before I'd give you a whack at all, plase your reverence.' 'It was useless: I was lugged on to the crib; an' twan't till the second day that Masthur Frank, who was in Dublin afore me, though I didn't know 1!, readiii' his own correcthur of me in the papers, along with the account of the whole ruction, cams an' by givin'

an explanation to the bishop, gat me out, but be gaved me five pounds for thejke, any how: for the cash was flush with him, so that I was very well ped for i? ; an' Paul,' says he, as he put the m ney into my hand, 'the thrick I played on ye was Ik cause ye consented to be a chate agin my father that often bef rinded yp.

Matter of Fact. I am what the old women call an "odd slick.' I do nothing without a motive1; I attempt nothing ur.k'ss I think there is a probability of my succeeding; 1 ask no favors where I do not think they may be granted ; I grant no favors where 1 think they are not deserved; and finally, I do not wait upon the girls, when 1 think my attention would be disagreeable, j am a mT.ter of fact man. I do things seriously. I once cff;red to attend a lady to her home. I did it seriousl) ; that is, 1 meant to wail upon her home if she wanted me. She accepted my offer. I went home with her, and it has ever since been an enigma to me, whether she wanted me or not. She took my arm and said not a word. I met her the next day and I said not a word. I met her again and she gave me a two houis talk. She feaied 1 was y offended, but could not conceive whv. Sh i begged m j to explain, but g ive m-; no chance; She hoped I'd noi be oft -tided; asked me to call; and it l as ever since been a mystery to me, whether she wanted ms to call or nr-t. I once saw a lady at her winduw. I tho'i I would call. I did. I inejaired for the lady and was inforonoei she v as not at horn-;. I went away d ot:L tii:g. I j met that huly afterwards. S he a?ked me to call; 1 thanked her, bat did not call. I met her again; she was offended; calied me unneighborly ; reproached me for my negligence; thought me unkind, and I have ever since, wondered whether ehe was sorry or not. Thu3 have things appeared to me doubtful, wonderful, mysterious. What then is it that caused doubt and mystery to attend the ways of men? It is the want of fact. This is a matter of fact, world, and in order to act well in it, wc must deal only in matters of fact. JYorlhern Star. A Newspafer. Who would be without a newspaper in these stirring times? From what other source than that ol the daily or weekly press, can an individual or family expect to gain a timely notice of those events which plunge thousands in mourning, or drive other thousands mad with joy? The plea of not being able to pay lor a newspaper is not worthy of credit in thi3 happy country. All who have hands to labor and the heart to read, may have a daily or weekly brought to their doors, and find the ready money at hand, or soon coming to pay for it; and be incalculably gainers by the contract. To live in this brief world, to hear its din, sometimes in low murmurs, and then in deafening thunders break in upon our solitude, and have no means at hand to satisfy ourselves of the causes, is a mode of miserable existence unworthy of man. What bring up a family ot young republicans, any one of whom, if life is spared, may be eligible to the Piesidency of the United Slates, in ignorance of the tre:mendous coi llict v opinion and steel now raging on the sub jact of human rights! This must net be done in the light of the nineteenth century. It were a belter deed for Ullage when the Crusader, who went away in youth, came back with grey hairs, to bring the first news ofhis deeds and the fate of innumerable warriors who went with him. Badger's Messenger, l it for Tut. the uocd days It is well known that in of our f.ithers, when New-England was truly the land of stehdy h.ihits, there would occasionally spring up a volatile fun loving character whose disposition and habits with tl.e upright ami const it nilcLs beaiingof the puritans, formed a striking contrast. 1 here were two fanners of ihucast who lived very near each other; one was the owner of some sheep, who, having a decided antipathy to confinement, would sometimes trespass on the enclosure of their master's neighbor. The other having caught them in one of these overt acts determined to inflict summary vengeance on ihem and their ower. With this intent he proceeded to catch thrm, and running his knife through one of their hind legs between the tendon and the bone, immediately above the knee joint, put the other through the hole. In this condition the whole tlock decamped, leaving one quarter less tracks than when they came. The feeder of the sheep kept his own counsel and soon after his neighbor's hogs having broken or dug into his enclosures, he took advantage of this opportunity for retaliation, by cutting their mouths from ear to ear. In this way the four-footed grunters rather chop fallen, made their way to their own quarters. The ow ner of the svviue soon made his appearance in

a great rage, declaring his hogs were ruined, and that he would have redress. His neighbor made answer that it was not he who had ruined them. "For," says he, "the fact is, friend, I didn't cut them are hog's mouths; but seeing my sheep runnin on three legs, they split their mouths laughin."

Digging out a Hole. "An' so ye ar digging out the hole there Pat, ar' ye?" said one Irishman to another engaged in nvik:ng a hole to insert a post.
