MISCELLANEOUS.

KFD or run toupen. From the interesting letters of Espirella, just published by Mr. Dearborn, we make this extract: A long time ago, there was in these par's a poor uiiot, who, being quite harmless, was permitted to roam where he would, and receive ehiruy at every house in his regular rounds. I lis name was Ned of the Todden; and 1 have just heard a tale which (hiilkd every nerve in mc from head to foot. He lived with his mother, and there was no other in the family. It is remarked Ihnt idiots are alwavs neculiarlv belo ved by their mothei s, doubtless because tlicy always continue in a state as helpless and der-endont as infancy. Tins poor fellow, in return, was equally fond cf b.is moiher : love towards her was the only feclintr which he was capable of. and that fee hue was proportionauiy sfmnr She fell sick and died. Of dcatlu roor wretch, he know nothing; and it was in vain to hope to make him comprehend it. He would not suffer them to bury her, and thev were obli ged to put her into the collin unknown to him, and carry her to tnc grave w hen, as thev, imagined, he had been decoved away to a distance. Ned of the Todden, however, suspected that something was designed; watched them tccreuy; and as soon as it was uarK opened the grave, took out the body, and carried it home. Some of the neigh bors compassionately went into the cottage to look after him they foun the dead body seated in her own place, in the chimney corner, a largo fire blazing, which he had made to warm her, and the idiot son, with a largo dish of pap, offering to feed her. " Eat, mother," ho was saying, "you used to like it!" Presently wondering at her silence he looked into the face of the corpse, took the dead hand to feel it, and said, "Why do you look so pale, mother? why be you so cold?" AN ASSORTMENT. A few days since, I was amused by observing, on the corners of the street, advertisements containing a notice of a "church for sale or to let." This announcement reminded me of u joke connected with an old Mr. S , of Burlington, who was noted for keeping in his store the most incongruous assortment ever olfered for sale. A wag once bet with a friend that he would inquire for some nick-nack which Jcmjny could not supply. The bet was clinched, and the two proceeded to the house of the old antiquarian. " Friend S said the quiz, "have you on hand a good second hand pulpit?" "Yes, sir," replied the unsuspecting shopkeeper, without the least idea of there being any thing uncommon in the question "Yes, sir, I bought one yesterday from the trustees of the Methodist church, who are fixing up theinterior of their meeting house." So saying, he showed them to the barn, where this most curious article of trade had been deposited. The winner laughed, the loser bit his lips, and paid the wager, while Jemmy's character for keeping an assortment of goods became more firmly established than before. EPITAPHS. Nothing can be more fanciful than the manner in which the French decorate the graves of their departed rela tives. I chanced upon a grave the clh cr evening in the anicteric deMjiil Par nassc, one of the public burying grounds near Fans, over whicn was displayed a pair of chulchcs, while the tombstone hove these few characteiistic words: "Here lies the poor cripple whom Death kindly set free one summer day; lie hath laid aside Ins cares and Ins crutches, and taken to him the wings of the morning, to soar everlastingly V Over another little grave, embowered with blushing roses, hung a basket filled with toys, and on the stone is written, "She is asleep wake her not." It seemed as if the poor child had but fillen ;.'!rep among the flowers, with her pla) things about her. Those are in the proper vein but who will pardon tho following epitaph, said to hav e been found in Vrc la Chaise, (I never met with it:) " ! ere lies Jacques Perez, grocn-groccr, aged Gl years; this stone was rais'l o his memory by his affectionate wife, who has the lienor to inform his friends arid the public that she still continues the business at the old stand, 1 G Rue St. Denis." FI J.I AIi IMPIETY. How detestable must that vice have appeared in (lie eye of Solomon, when ho thus denounced it: "Tho eye that mockelh at his father, and despiseth to ohr-y his mother, the ravens of the valley thai! pi.k it oil!, and the young eagles e'uall eut it!'' It jf, we believe, pretty sure iu the order of Providence, that

Modesty in a young female, is the flowing of a tender shrub, whicli is the promise of excellent fruits. To destroy it is to destroy the hope of society, to commit an outrage against nature. The air of the world is a burning breath that every day blastcth its precious flower. A FEW TllliVt'S I DO vT TO SI'E. 1 do not like to sec a man sleeping iu the bar room of a tavern in daylight. I do not like to sec idlers lolling on j counters of stores, or in mechanics' shops, when the hands are at work. 1 do not like to sec a man ?nend half of his time on the street talking about politics, when he should be at his work. 1 do not like to see a man ask four dollars for an article, and then sell it for Ihrce. I do not like to sec a man flatter people to buy on credit, and then distress them to make payment. Ciiors. A traveler observing a woman stepping out of a f irm house the other dav, thought he would learn the prospect of flic harvest, &c. 4 Well, marm, how arc your crops this season V 'Crops, sir! oh, bountiful goodness, they are surprising full and large, especially the turkeys.' 'Ah, glad to hear it ; but turkey crops, what arc they, inarm?" 'Turkeys yes, sir! did'nt you never hear of turkeys?' You don't understand me, marm how arc the crop?. the corn crops?' 'Why 1 have just told you, sir. Will you believe it that our Joe killed a turkeys and an obi rooster to-day, and took near a peck of corn from each of their crops ?' 'Good day, marm.' 'What, sir! Goodness me, how polite! and not know what a turkey crop ie, and then to ask me how my crop was!' Ciartmont Laglc. A TEA3I OF COWS. It would perhaps excite a smile, were a man seriously to propose a substitute of cows for oxen or hortts in the labors of the field; and yet, on examination, the aUeraatire might not, in many cases, be found aa anworlhy of notice as atfiret supposed. Working cows is no new thing, and it is hardly possible, unless in certain cases the practice was decidedly advantageous, the custom would have continued so long. Sa,n son accused the Philistines of ploughing with his heifer; a.i allu.-'n.o without point, unless the custom wa- common; and when the same enemies of Israel were compelled to restore the ark they

Jj Ol Ofrtnmiiijimi !w..... -ii..! ,wi ,.C. oi economizing labor, and the means of subsistence having clearly rendered such a course the most eligible. In tho duchy of Nassau, for instance, one of the best cultivated and fruitful sections of Europe, according to the statements of the present Governor of Canada, the cow is ued nearly alfogctlier for the purpose of firming; and the picture he ' gneti oi incse icams, iinvin ty wo men, and conveying the produce I me r l country to market, as well a? ebnn oth ,.,-.!- C )l f I 1 i er uoik of ( he farm, is lively, and ( wen worm 11 . i nonce. t is ;rue, a team cf cows miht not answer so wd for our cxtensiveVhcat growers", or for breaking up tl.e prairies of Michigan or Illinois; heavy exen and strong horses will unquestionably continue to be found the best for these purposes; vet that by no means proves that there are not cases in which a heifer team would not be preferable.
