Peculiarities or. All Have Infirmaties. "He had tmnge w:i) J was odd, and singular." An intelligent friend contends that all men have their peculiarities, and are more or less monomaniacs. lie admits his own infirmaties, but expresses a hope that they partake of the amiable and the mild, rather than the malignant and the vicious, and he therefore indulges in the belief that, to a certain extent, his errors are of a harmless character. Nothing human, indeed, is perfect. All have their frailties and their shortcomings, and it very frequently happens, that the very blemishes we see and complain of in others, are those by which we ourselves are disfigured, but to which we, nevertheless, are unconscious or blind. But is it true that all are more or less monomaniacs that every member of the human family is deluded and deceived to a certain extent, upon some subject? The position is startling at the first blush, and yet it is not without a semblance of truth. We cannot, in most cases, discover the fact in ourselves, although there are many who know, and admit that they have tastes, habits and prejudices, to which they are in some sense slaves; which control and master them with an irresistable power, and from which they endeavor in vain to escape. At certain periods, they will wrestle and battle in the most vigorous manner against their evidence, and with apparent success; and yet the effect will only be tempo rary, lhe old habit will come back at some un expected moment, and they will yield to it un consciously. But with others, the difficulty of discovering the weakness and the vice, is indeed great. It is curious, but it is not the less true, that the faults and fdllies of our neighbors are the ordinary theme of comment and criticism, that others are ridiculed as monomaniacs upon this subject or upon that, and are denounced accordingly, while we cannot or will not see a similarity in ourselves. There is scarcely an individual who cannot single out from amongst Ii is circle of acquaintances, some one who is characterized by peculiarities so marked and strong as to render him eccentric. If the error, habit or infirmaty, be of an evil tendency, so much the worse. If it be to defame, to denounce, to abuse and misrepresent, it is indeed censurable and deplorable, and calculated to do much harm. And that there are such persons with such habits, slanderers by constitution, ca-N, lumniators by monomania, is beyond all question. There are others again, who run wild upon some peculiar idea. They can think and talk of nothing else. Their minds and their hearts seem to have become absorbed in a delusion, a dream or a prejudice, and thus they indulge, in season and out of season, and without reference to discreiion, common sense, or to the ordinary rules of social life. They are enthusiasts, zealots, nay, worse monomaniacs. Everything, according to their doctrine, should yield to the one great purpose. All other interests or considerations should be forgotten, and infatuated for the time by their puculiar idiosyncracy, they can think of nothing else, and frequently sacrifice themselves to an ignis fatuus of the brain. Even among the most illustrious men of the ancient and modern times, peculiarities, and even of a most ridiculous kind, have been noticed. If, therefore, great intellectual lights have been thus characterized, we cannot be surprized that the comparatively feeble in intellect should manifest similar infirmaties. There are, indeed, not a few individuals who in their ordinary course of life are frank, manly and generous, but who, nevertheless, in certain cases, are narrow, contracted, and niggardly. They will spend thousands of dollars in particular kinds of pomp and display, and yet turn the shivering beggar starving from his door. They will invest large sums in public enterprizes, and manifest deep interest in patriotic movements; and yet, they are insensible to the appeals of real benevolence. They have, by some false mode of reasoning, persuaded themselves that all the unfortunate and the poor are idle and dishonest, and they act upon this bitter and heartless policy. This is, indeed, a deplorable description of monomania, for it not only deforms the character of the victim, but it misleads his judgment, hardens his heart, and renders him a curse instead of a blessing to society. We are acquainted with an intelligent and estimable citizen, who is a passionate collector of all kinds of pamphlets, old and new. He must have accumulated thousands and tens of thousands more than he could read in along lifetime. He is now in the "sere and yellow leaf," and yet the passion is, if possible more active than ever. It is, of course, perfectly harmless, and we only mention it by way of illustrating the general topic. The moral of our philosophy is, that while we are blind to, or unconscious of our own errors in this respect, we should be indulgent to those of others. We should, at least, consider all the circumstances, and not denounce harshly or hastily. And if, moreover, we are exempt from, and have eccaped any serious infirmity, if we have no particular vice or weakness, no inveterate habit or bitter prejudice, if, in brief, we know ourselves, and are capable of governing our tastes, appetites and passions; we should not only be grateful to Providence, but endeavor to deal generously and and forbearingly towards those who are less fortunate in their moral, mental, and social temper, composition and constitution. Let us believe, moreover," that we have some infirmity of the kind, which, although not seen by our eyes, is visible to those of others, and thus "do unto others as you would they should do unto you."

THE SIX DOLLAR SHAWL. Mrs. Seldon was one of those ladies and the number is a legion, as many a sorrowing husband can testify who could never resist the temptation of a bargain. Accordingly, having seen, one clay, in the daily paper, an advertisement of decided bargains to be had 'at ruinously low prices' for cash, she made her way thither, and after an hour's examination of the stock, decided upon the purchase of a shawl, only six dollars, in which she at once arrayed herself, and, not a little elated, left the store. The current of her meditation was rudely broken in upon by the evident glee of the newsboy, who was regarding her with fixed attention, every now and then indulging in a perceptible chuckle. Mrs. Selden looked at him with profound astonishment, scarcely realizing that she was the object of his mirth. Her serious looks only excited it to a more im-

moderate extent, as he continued looking at her with the same steady gaze. Mrs. Seldon was equally indignant and astonished. "What little impudent wretches these newsboys are becoming!" thought she to herself. "1 declare I wish the Mayor and Aldermen would lock them all up in the watch-house." Mrs. Seldon was so indignant that she did not consider that this would be an act, to say the least, of rather doubtful propriety. A young gentleman, (that he was such, was abundantly testified by his immaculate white kids and flashy bosom-pin) passed her on the sidewalk. Mrs. Seldon noticed that he looked back at her with a perceptible smile, which, however, he repressed, as soon as he observed that it had attracted her attention. "Really," thought she, "this is becoming embarrassing. I never was treated so never in my life before. The impudent puppy! I should like to have the training of him." This, it must be acknowledged, was scarcely a feminine wish; but Mrs. Seldon, like every one else, was sensitive to the appearance of ridicule,

especially as she was altogether unconscious of anything which she had done which could entitle her thereto. Poor Mrs. Selden! Her trials were not yet over. She next observed two ladies glancing at her, and they exchanged a significant look. "Has all the world grown mad, or what is the matter?" she said to herself. "What in the world can they be looking at me so intently for? It can't be my shawl." She looked at the shawl, but could see nothing about it calculated to arrest so much attention. Chancing to turn around, at that moment, she encountered the eyes of a friend, 'whose face, which had just been directed towards her, was mischievously mirthful. "I'll thank you to tell me what you are laughing at," said Mrs. Selden, haughtily. "You've been buying a new shawl," said her friend, quietly. "Yes, but is anything the matter with it?" "And you paid six dollars for it, did you?" "How did you find that out?" asked Mrs. Selden, in profound astonishment. "Simply because there is placarded on your back in large letters, 'A Great Bargain Only Six Dollars!' " It was true! Mrs. Selden had been promenading Washiagton street with the luckless placard so conspicuously displayed, that it could not fail of attracting attention. She made her way into, a store near by, and had it taken off. Henceforth, she never purchas ed an article without examining it carefully in every part, to make sure that she would not ngain be exposed to a similar embarrassment. Yankee Blade. Turkey in the East The Allied Armies. An interesting lecture was delivered last night at the Melodeon, by Col. Peck, of Connecticut, on the subject of the Turkish Empire, and the war in the East. A considerable portion of the lecture was devoted to a sketch of the country of the Musselmen the heterogenous population of. their cities, their streets, their houses, their mosques, their women the decay, instead ot the progress, of civilization, and the existence of a number of antagonistic elements without adher sion no patriotism among the people, ana no ystem of Government beyond the despotic will of the sovereign. The present Sultan was de scribed as without capacity to investigate the affairs of his own nation, or review the condition of his own troops. He came out on one occasion, shortly after the arrival of the allied forces in the Bosphorus, and surveyed ten thousand of Jus troops marched by a tent which was fitted up for him, but he manifested no interest in the military affairs of his country. The difficulties between the Latin oi Catholic Church and the schismatic Greek Church, and the demands of both for an extension of their privileges within the Turkish Empire, were adverted to; and the lecturer remarked that though he did not propose to apologize for Russian aggression, or deny that she had ulterior claims on Turkish empire, Russia could not be blamed for demanding on behalf of six millions of people of the Greek faith, the same privileges which had been granted to Christians of other denominations. The available military force of Turkey consists of 300,000 troops, besides a contingent force from the Asiatic provinces. During the present war, they had not exhibited the same capacity to fightin the open field as in fortifications the contest at Silistria was worthy of their renown, but it. was directed by intelligent European officers. Some of the old Pashas in command were greatly swayed by prejudices and superstition. Upon one engagement upon the first explosion of the Russian shell, one of these astonisded warriors raised both hands on high, and, exclaiming "God is great," wheeled round his horse and rode off from the field. During all the time that the stay of the allied troops at Constantinople occasioned so much interest among the Frank population, scarcely a Turk was to be seen round. Iheir wonder, was that "the dogs did not go up the Danube and fight the battles there that the Sultan ordered" for they suppose the Sultan ordered the allied armies to fight his battles, because he did not choose to fight them himself. The great destruction among the army at Varna by sickness was described as striking con sternation and despair into the hearts of the surviving soldiers. A short distance from the French camp more than two hundred new graves were made every morning. The French Sisters of Mercy followed the camp, and attended the sick soldiers like ministering angels. Of all the troops that went to the East last year, only 60,000 could be mustered for the expedition to Sevastopol; and if victory was to crown the efforts of France and England, it would be achieved at a heavy price. I hat Russia could be crippled or injured by the force now before Sevastopol, was impossible. Russia was a great and crowing country, possess ing an infinite variety of the elements of modern civilization. The Turkish Empire must cease to exist at no distant period, though propped up by the allies, she might hold out a few years. But when in their efforts for Turkey they call for the sympathy and prayers of Christian nations for success in a war on behalf of liberty, he (the lecturer) was not inclined to send up his feeble peti tion, without more evidence that the progress of human liberty was to be consulted by that success. He could not forget the fifty millions of serfs in India, and the blood that was spilt there for the lust of dominion and sold -nor fors-et poor Ireland, whose sons form the greater portion of the British army, now weltering in blood, or dragging their emaciated forms through the trenches before Sevastopol. It was true the hearts of the English people are as true in behalf of liberty as those of any other people; but the great enemy to this British sentiment was the British Government. Never would the peoplu of England have sustained this war unless they were first made to believe it was necessary for the promulgation of freedom. Now, when tens of thou sands of her brave soldiers were lying buried

beneath the tall cypress of the East, or were stretched on pallets in the hospitals at Constantinople; when the wail and cry of widows and orphans is heard in every village and hamlet, a murmur is going forth in that wail, whether after all the terrible destruction and misery, anything has yet been done on behalf of human liberty. Let the British people hold their Government responsible in this matter, and let us reserve our sympathies until called out by a deserving occasion. The lecture occupied about an hour and a half in the delivery. It was attended by a respectable audience, in number about sufficient to fill two-thirds of the capacity of the Hall. Cin. Com.

EXTRAORDINARY ENDURANCE. From the Portland, State of Maine, Feb. 13. On January 31, Nathaniel Copp, son of Hayes D. Copp, of Pinkham's Grant, near the Glen House, White Mountains, commenced hunting deer, and was out four successive days. On the tith day he left again, for a deer killed the day previously, about eight miles from home. He dragged the der (weighing 230 lbs) home thro' the snow, and at 1 o'clock p. m. started for another one discovered near the place where the former was killed, which he followed until he lost, the track, about dark. He then found that he had lost his own way, and should, in all probability, be obliged to spend the night in the woods, the thermometer at the time ranging from 32 to 25 cleg', below zero. Despair being no part of his composition, with perfect self-possession and presence of mind, lie commenced walking, having no provisions, matches, or even a hatchet, knowing that to remain ouiet was certain death. He soon after heard a deer, and pursuing him by moonlight, overtook him, leaped upon his back, and cut his throat. He then dressed him, and, taking out the heart, placed it in his pockeffor a trophy. Ho continued walking twenty-one hours, and the next day, about 10 o'clock a. m., he came out at or near Wild River, in Gilead, Me., having walked, on snow-shoes, the unparalleled distance of fortv miles without rest, a part of the time through an intricate growth of underbrush. His friends at home becoming alarmed at his prolonged absence, and the intensity of the cold, four of them started in pursuit of him, viz: Mr. Hayes D. Copp, his father, John Goulding-, and Thomas Culhane. They followed his track until it was lost in the darkness; and by the aid of their dog, found the deer which young Copp had killed and dressed. They then built a fire, and waited five or six hours for the moon to rise, and enable them to continue their search. They agin started, but with the faintest hopes of ever finding the lost one alive, pursued his track, and after being out twenty-six hours in the intense cold, found the young man of whom they were in search. Goulding froze both his feet so badly that it is feared he will have to suffer amputation. Mr. Copp and Mr. Culhane froze their ears badly. No words can reward the heroic self-denial and fortitude with which these men continued an al most hopeless search, when every moment expecting to find the stiffened corpse of their friend. Young' Copp seems not to have realized the great danger he has passed through, and although his medical advisers say he cannot entirely recover the use of his limbs for from 3 to 6 months, talks with perfect coolness of taking part in hunts which he had planned for the next week. Low-Necked Dresses. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times is perfectly shocked, it seems, at the low-necked dresses of city belles, when they are supposed to be mfull costume. The correspondent of the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian from the same city says, however, "If I was a husband or father, or both, I might so far sympathize with the scribe of the Times as to enter a feeble protest against the prevailing mode; but, being only an unaccompanied, stray waif in this wicked, weary world, I am willing to submit sinner as I am! a penchant for dresses cut short at both ends. Besides, the fashion is always accompanied with a holy association of infancy. As the countryman said when asked, after leaving one of the Presidental levees, if he had ever seen such a sight before. 'No,' was the emphatic reply, 'not since I was weaned!' " White Maple Sugar. A Vermont farmer says the following is a sure method of clarifying augar: Filter all your sap before boiling, thro' a hopper or box of sand, which, he is satisfied, will take out, not only all the stains derived from leaves, tubs, crumbs of bark, but all other coloring matter that can prevent the sugar from being pure white.
