r r 1 1 1 BAGGAGE TRAIN From the Independent Press. "SHANGHAIE." BY O. CRACKEE, A B. He wore a standing collar, The hour when lirst we met, For which a quarter dollar He owes the Tailor yet. And he had locks of wavy hair, Which o'er his forehead laid; They did not shade his intellect, For 'twas not there to shade. He wears his standing collar When he visits public places; You'll know him, for he always Stares the Ladies in their faces. He always casts a "killing" glance At Ladies as they pass, Pie thinks that he's a "fancy man," And they think he's a fool! He wore his standing collar When I saw him t'other day, Wrapped in a shawl he walked the street, A-la-mode "Shanghaie." A nice goatee adorned his lip, (Appropriate at that 1) While his elastic head displayed A bran new beaver hat. He wore a standing collar When I saw him on a "spree," His beaver hat was slightly "cocked," But not as bad as he. Just as he turned the corner, He flourished high his whip;J Saying, "go lang two forty 0, crackee ! let her rip !" I saw him but a moment, Methinks I see him yet, .Brought up before the Magistrate, ' As "tight" as he could get ! A OADE TO A MUSKEETER.

It is thought that the capital yearly invested, is now three hundred thousand dollars, and that the annual business now amounts to one million dollars. Of this, one-half is d,one in this city, one-fourth in Bristol, and one-fourth in Plymouth; and from it two thousand men, with families, derive their entire support. The number of clocks made by the Jerome Manufacturing Company, of New Haven, is 200,000 a year, 20,000 per month, and 800 per day, embracing 50 distinct varieties. The highest wholesale price per dozen, is one hundred dollars; the lowest ten dollars. To produce these they annually consume the following raw material : Pine Lumber 2,500,000 feet. Mahogany and Rosewood 1,000,000 feet. Looking Glass plates 50,000 ' Boxes of Glass 4,000 Casks of Nails 1,500 Iron ' 600 tons. Glue 500 bbls Rolled and cast Brass 150 tons Varnish 100 bbls Zinc . 35 tons Their lumber is obtained directly from Maine and Western New York. The other materials are mainly if not wholly purchased in New York City. K H. Pall. Only Half Accounted for. A story is told of a gentlman in a neighboring city, which affords a capital instance of snobbing an egotist whose habit of " keeping the private I in the public eye," made him a fair subject for rebuke. The gentlemen, whom for convenience, we shall call Mr. A, (though that letter "wouldn't begin" to spell it,) was perpetually walking up and down his office, talking to his clerks, something in the "Bounderby" manner, though with more direct vaunting, either of himself, or his money, or his ox, or his ass, or of something else that was his, to the great annoyance of the clerks aforesaid. One day, pursuing his favorite theme, he broke out as follows ; " Young gentlemen, you have, doubtless, observed that I have my little peculiarities. In fact I am a very peculiar man a particular man, too very particular. Now my personal habits are peculiar very peculiar peculiar in everything. Let me give you an instance. I always sleep in a wide bed a very wide bed and have alight burning by the side of it. Queer, isnt it? but thats my way." Now be it known to the reader (as it was to all the boys in the office) that the wife of Mr. A. was notoriously the homeliest woman in town. "It is queer rather in one respect," observed one of the clerks, "and in one respect it isn't. I can understand why you should choose a very wide bed, but why the d 1 you should want the room lighted is more than I can imagine," Boston Post.

The Fruit Trade. Some thirty vessels are engaged in the fruit trade between this city and the West Indies. A much larger trade in fruits is carried on with ports in the Mediterranean, which supply annually something like seventy or eighty cargoes principally oranges. The West Indian importations of last year as follows : 75,000 bunches of banannas, from Baracoa, sold here at 1.25 to $1.50 per bunch 893,750 to 112,500; 2,000,000 Baracoa cocoanuts, sold at from S25 to $30 per 100 500,000 to $600,000 ; twenty cargoes of pine-apples from Matanzas and Havana, averaging 80,000 dozen per cargo, and sold at from $8 to $12 per 100 $128,000 to $192,000; 20,000 dozen St. Barts pines, sold at from $7.50 to $8 per 100 $18,000 to $19,200; 200,000 dozen from the Bahama Islands $15,000 to $16,000; ten cargoes of Havana oranges, averaging 450,000 at 3 cents each $10,500; have been received thus far, the present season, the crop being more abundant than at any time du

ring the last fifteen years. - West Indian oranges arrive in October, and are most abundant in Jan uary and February. Bananas and pine-apples begin to arrive about the first of April, and they are most plentiful during the succeeding three months. Cocoa-nuts arrive all the year round Mediterranean oranges, which come in boxes, and are most extensively shipped to different parts of the United States, begin to be received in January, but not extensively until April or Juay. The above list comprises but few of the foreign fruits imported and these only from the West Indies. A few minutes' calculation will show the sum paid for he articles enumerated in the list amounts to not less than $850,000. lhe total amount paid for foreign fruits last year was not less than twenty millions of dollars. Our exports are comparatively trifling. With the very best soil and climate in the world for growing fruit, embracing twenty-three degrees of latitude, we pay out annually to foreign countries, cash enough to stock a territory with the choicest variety of fruit trees. Besides, fruit grown in our own soil and cli mate is better adapted to our people, and far more healthful than that which is imported from other climates. Let us grow our own fruits, and thus save the millions paid to foreign countries, now almost lost to our nation. Life Illus. A Capacious Carpet Bag. Meanness occa sionally meets with a shock that is a lesson to all concerned, especially to the victim. On the Cleveland cars, a day or two since, cominc to Buffalo, was a stalwart man, going to New York to buy goods. He was not what might be called stingy or close man, but he was one who, when there was a cent due him that swindling might deprive him of, would sacrifice a $50 bill to save the copper. Our friend had started from Cleveland without any breakfast, and when Erie "hove" in sight, he gathered himself up for a general skirmish for any and all kinds of provisions. He had a carpet bag with him, and going into the dining room at Erie, deposited his carpet bag on one chair, while he took another by its side. He was lost for about ten minutes perfectly oblivious to anything, save that he had a blessed consciousness of something rapidly and agreeably filling up his "inwards." About this time, the landlord came round, and stopping by our friend's chair, ejaculated, "Dollar, Sir." "A dollar?" responded the eating man "a dollar thought you only charged fifty cents a meal for one eh?" "That's true," said meanness, "but I count your carpet-bag one, since it occupies a seat." (The table was far from being crowded.) Our friend expostulated, but the landlord insisted, and the dollar was reluctantly brought forth. The landlord passed on. Our friend deliberately arose, and opening his carpetbag, full to its wide mouth, discoursed unto it, saying: "Carpet-bag it seems you're an individual a human individual, since you eat at least I've paid for you and now you must eat," upon which he seized everything eatable within his reach, nuts, raisins, apples, cakes, and pies, and amid the roars of the bystanders, the delight of his brother passengers, and the discomfiture of the landlord, phlegmatically went and took his seat in the cars. He said he had provisions enough to last him to New York, after a bountiful supply had been served out in the cars. There was at least 88 worth in the bag upon which the landlord realized nothing in the way of profit. So much for meanness. Buffalo Bepublican. Preaching vs. Practising. A very distinguished legislator whether from this counly or not, deponent saith not came home a few weeks since on a visit to his friends. The next day after his arrival being Sunday, he determined to take a drive, and accordingly hired a fancy team and went out in a direction which it is not necessary now to mention After riding a mile or two, it struck him that a glass of brandy and water would not be altogether uncongenial to his stomach, which, by the way, was addicted to such "often infirmities." Stopping at a wellknown tavern, he accosted the proprietor, an old acquaintance of his with a due degree of winning affability. After the usual formalities, came a' sly hint from Mr. Legislator that he would be exceedingly obliged by an introduction to a quiet glass of the aforesaid beverage. "No, sir," said ,"we don't sell liquor now on Sundays. The new law you know." "Pshaw! Pshaw! never mind the law. You have a private bottle, I know now haven't you? Come, now, just for old acquaintance sake." "It can't be did, Mr. ,' replied 'mine host;' "and what's more, I'll give you a bit of my mind if you go to Harisburg and vote for these infernal anti-liquor laws you ought to be man enough to obey them! You don't get any brandy from me." The discomfitted legislator mounted his buggy and rode off with a flea in his ear, but no brandy in his stomach. Pittsburg Gazette. A Preacher in a Fix. A young minister writes to the editor of the Presbyterian Herald in relation to a very novel position in which he had been placed. The young minister is a bachelor, and has been settled over his charge about two years. A short time ago his congregation, without consulting him at all, voted to erect him a parsonage. The young clergyman does not know what this means whether it is a hint for him to leave and make room for a married pastor, whether they want to force, him to keep bachelor's hall, or do something else, which he leaves the editor to guess. The editor of the Herald, not feeling himself competent to guess, refers him to the ladies, who are generally able to find a solution for such cases, and provide a remedy. ' JCPeople who give up almost always come down and with a rush. Therefore, if you expect to make a figure, sensation, or anything of that sort in the world, you must keep a stiff lip and a firm foot up. It is the ups that carry the day in this through-by-daylight planet of ours. Well, it is.

Amusing. The editor of the Albany Beoister,

having been disturbed by an assemblage of cats unuer nis window, tlius gives vent to his indignation: "But those cat's in our opinion, are in danger, and we warn all who have any interest in them either present or expectant, to look to them. We have been constrained to watch for hours, when we ought to have been asleep. We have heard the clock strike twelve, one, two, at intervals in their performances, and have been tempted to use of terms not to be found in any religious work, or any standard sermons of the day. We have dropt many brickbats among them, wasted more wood upon them than we are able to spare, have taken cold by exposure to the night air, become hoarse by hollowing '"Scat." We have exhausted our loose pieces of brick, the smaller sticks ot our wood pile, ana our patience. , in view of all these facts we submit that there is nothing left for us but to move ourself, or move those cats, and we shall not move. We have prepared a double-barreled gun, a full supply of powder and percussion caps, and in our opinion somebody's cats will go home some moonlight night complaining of feeling unwell. If they do, we must be held harmless." Long Sermons. These, after all, are the great mistake of clergymen the crying sin of the pulpit. People will not read long, dry disquisitions upon secular subjects, and religious subjects are listened to with pretty much the same sort of uneasy ears. The truth is, a half an hour of good hearty belaboring is about as much as ordinarily sensitive sinners can stand at one sitting; and when sermons are habitually protracted beyond that length, those to whom they are of perhaps the most importance will habitually keep away. The value and efficacy of sermons consists in what is remembered, not in that which is forgotten,' and a half dozen curt, epigrammatic sentences, with a small relish of eloquence and rhetoric, is worth more upon a promiscuous congregation that a whole day's work of preaching under the ten hour system. Deacons and class leaders may be 'suited with ten hour system sermons, but sinners won't be, and there's the difference. . Long sermons and thin congregations are inseparable. Winsted Herald. No Eat, No Fight. It is a well authenticated fact, that a Frenchman will not fight upon an empty stomach. A correspondent of anEnglish journal, writing from the Crimea says: , . . , "While eating is no part of a soldier's life in the Russian camp, in the French camp it is quite the contrary. A Frenchman must have his breakfast before he fights, and he will cook and eat in the midst of burling bombs, rather than miss it; for between the fear of losing his breakfast and his life there is about an even balance. On the morning of the battle of Inkermann, 7,500 Englishmen were compelled to stand the shock of 45,000 Russians for three hours before the French division arrived, the latter having stopped to eat their breakfast before starting to the aid of their suffering Allies. They fought beautifully, as they always do, when they did arrive; but in the mean time there had been a fearful slaughter of Englishmen which otherwise might have been saved. This is one of the facts that do not appear in print, for the good of the alliance, but it is neverthaless true." Rules for Self Government. By a Prudent Old Gentleman. Always sit next to the carver, if you can, at dinner. Ask no woman her age. Be civil to all rich uncles and aunts. Never joke with a policeman. Take no notes or gold with you to a fancy bazaar nothing but silver. Your oldest hat, of course, for an evening party. Don't play chess with a widow. Never contradict a man who stutters. Make friends with the steward on board a steamer there's no knowing how soon you may be placed in his power. In every strange house it is well to inquire where the brandy is kept on think, if you were taken ill in the middle of the night ! Keep your own secrets. Tell no human being you dye your whiskers. Write not one more letter than you can help. The man who keeps up a large correspondence is a martyr tied, not to the stake, but to the pout. Wind up your conduct, like your watch, once a day, examining minutely whether you are 'fast' or 'slow.' Punch. ' Sentimentalities. By a Sentimental Young Lady, de 1'age de 35 ans. The heart is a nursery of the tenderest plants, to which the least chill often proves most destructive. White hair is the chalk with which Time keeps it score two, three, or fourscore, as the case may be on a man's head. Two's a secret, but three's none. The heart-strings will snap, just like harpstrings, from excess of cold and neglect. Good nature is a glow-worm that sheds light even in the dirtiest places. . Man has generally the best of everything in this world for instance, in the morning he has nothing but the newspaper to trouble his head with, whereas the poor woman has her curl-papers. Kindnesses are stowed away in the heart, like bags of Lavender in a drawer, and sweeten every object around them! Advice to Young Mem. We endorse the following from Macklin's advice to his son; and put it again in circulation as too good to be lost. ; I have often told you, he says, that every man must be the maker or marrer of his fortune. I repeat the doctrine. He who depends upon his incessant industry and integrity, depends upon patrons of the most exalted kind, these are the creatures of fame, the founder of families, and can never disappoint or desert you. They control all human dealings and even vicissitudes or any unfortunate tendency to ' contrary nature. You have genius, you have learning, you have industry at times but you want perseverance; without it you can do nothing. I bid you bear this motto in mind Persevere. Advantage of paying for a Newspaper in Advance.- A Boston paper says, one of the facts put in evidence at the trial in the Supreme Court, to sustain the will of the late Wm. Russell, was, that only a few days before he made the will, he called at the ofiice of the Democrat and paid for his paper a year in advance, thereby saving fifty cents. The fact was dwelt upon at length by counsel, and commented upon by the judge in his charge, as one of very great importance. The verdict of the jury would seem to sustain the proposition, that a man who has mind enough to pay for his newspaper in advance, is competent to make a will. , jtSrWhen prosperity was well mounted, she let go the bridle, and soon came tumbling out of the saddle.
