A c b brated wia sib r, from A 1-1 bany, having heard of Joe's rcpu-j tation, once made him a visit fot the;

express perpose, as he declared, of 'giving him a touch of the lancy.'1 Joe, wnh his usual modesty, oisclaimed all knowledge ot the i xercise;bui upon the stranger's pre -s ng him, finally consented to take hdd." , Accordingly lh'y grappled the Strang r throwing himself into the most scientific position while Joe. preteiuln g inn r ignorance of all rule, nssnund tin most car. less and exposed attitudes at times. Tin y had scarceh got Ian ly hold, w hen the stranger, placing his foot on Joe's toe, attempted to throw- him by what is termed the "toe lock." But Joe, anticipati. g his movement, quietly permuted him lo assume the necessary position, and then, as he stood for a moment ' balancing on Joe's toe, gravely raised him iuln the air, and danced him about us a mother would her child. On one occasion, Jon happened to spend a night at St. John's. As he sal iu the bar room of the hotel .hcre he stopped, the conversation turned upon wiesding. Joe, being an entire stranger lo die company collected, sal listening to die conversation, participating but little in It. At length one individual, after relating several wonderful feats he had pel formed, wound up by roundly asserting that he had thrown Joe Call! Joe, as might readily be supposed, was not a hide surprised at this assertion from an entire stranger ; and in that s-piiit of fun which always prompted him, x claimed, "Whv von'd swallow a common man! I should like to take hold ol ou myself, it sou would pr unise not to hurl uie.v -The braggadocio instantly aecented the proposition, and they took hold. J .c, with scarcely an ell'-rt, raised him from the floor, and held him out at arm's length thcaslonished wrestler could only cr "Who w ho the devil are on ?" w l he man )cai thre w, Joe Call, at your sen ice, ii P But the most remarkable fea: which Joe cm r pcrtoiimd was on the occasion ol an incidental w restling match which occurred between himscll and another individual, during die late war, at 1'lnin.hurgh. Il seems that iu the British camp vas a celebrated English bully, w hose immense strength and gn at skill, both as a pugiliianda wrestler, made him tin; terror as well ;i die champion ol die army. Joe, happening one day to be in the iCnulidi camp, on somecrrand or other, i was sunn noised about; and some of lhe i.fliccrs by chance gel ling wind of it, and alni hearing of his great strength, den rmined lo bring about a match between this Yankee lit r( ules and their own bully. Accordingly, having brought them together, il was proposed to Joe that they should have a "scl to." But Joe. who was any thinu but quarrelsome, and whose natural nobility ot character placed him altogether above any thing of the kind, peremptorily declined the match asserting, at lhe same time that he presumed the KuglUh man would throw him with the greatest ease, as he professed no skill w hatever. To this die bully snecringly replied, thai he could not only throw him, but any other d d ankcethey would bring on. This fling tit the Yankecs-neiiled Joe at once; for although conscious ol his own strength, In; cared little what taunts might be applied to his own person, yel w hen his nation came to be the ol ject ol such remarks, his blond boilod at once, ant; he tlett rminel. right orw rot g, to show die sneering British bully that yankee prowess was not lo he so lightly esteemed. Yn bling lo his patnode feelings he iiiiincdiately an-

i gin ss, and they "tooli hold." '1 he first liiai was at what is termed "arms' length," and Joe soon found that bis antagonist was no "carpi t knight," tobe handled in the maimer iu which he had been wont to treat Ids opponents of the ring. At the first onset, JoeAvas brought to his knee. Immediately springing up, he -confessed himself fairly 4 filed," and then requeued that they should uike a trial at "hack hold." To this die hull v assent, d. We have often heat d Joe say that previous to ibis time, be could never discover any diiT'Tcnce in the strength of men; hut that now In; felt dial lie inn-t exert all his pow er. Seizing hold of his antagonist, he bowed himself with all his strength, and sque zed the vain boastt r to his breast. The English man gave one shrie k his arms loosed their hold his whole frame qu vered and when Joe released him horn his mighty grasp, the bully fell, with eyes protruding ami blood gushing from his nostrils, dead at his feet.

However delightful the intt rcouie of wedded hearts, there is lo a well regulated mind, something xtremely solemn iu the duties impesed by ibis inn rts ing relation, 'lhe reflection that an existence which was separate and itidept nd lit is tided, and that all its hopes and inter sis are blended w iih those ol another soul, is deeply nfieciing,as it imposes die conviction that evciy act which .shall ii fluence the happiness of die one will color the destiny of the other. Bui when the union is that of love, this fet in g ol dependence is one of die most d lighilul that can be imagined. It annihilates tin; habits of selfish crjoment and teaches the heart to dt light in that which gives pleasure to another. 'J in; silliciions become graduallv enlarged, expanding as the tit s of relationship and the duties of life accumulate around, until the individual, ceasing to know an isolated existt nee, lives entiiely for others, and for Miciciv. But it is die generous and the irtuous alone who thus ci joy ibis agreeable relation. Some beans there are, too callous to give nurture to a delicate seiiiiment. There; are u.iruls too narrow rogive play te a expressive hi'iicvolence. A de-gre of magnanimiiv is necessary n the? existence eif disinterest! d love or friendship. -Jmv. Hall. Aa Irishman s parrot.
