Uur.T vs. Uoly.—In the eastern part of
Delaware county, in that State, there resided
a man by tho name of B , now a justice
of the peace, and A very scnsiblo mah, but by
common consent the ugliest looking individu-
al in tho whole country, being long, gaunt, sal-
low, and awry, with a gait like a kangaroo.—
Ono day ho was hunting, and on one of tho
mountain roads ho met a roan a foot and alone,
who was jonger, gaunter, uglier, by all odds,
that? himself. Ho could give the .Squire fifty,
and beat him. Without saying a word B
raised his gun and deliberately leveled it at
tho strangers " For God's sake don't shoot,"
Shouted tho man in great alarm. "Stranger,"
repled B , " I sworo ten years ago that
if I ever met a man uglier than I was I'd shoot
him, and you aro the first one I've seen." The
stranger after taking a carcful survey of his
rival, replied, " Wall, ef I look worso than
you do, shoot; I don't whnt to live .any long-
er." '

A Happy Retort.—-A Chicago paper relates
tho following good" ono:
A boy was going along tho street carrying
a pitcher of milk, when presently ho stum-
bled, and smash went the pitcher and away
ran tho milk. Another, boy across the wav
saw tho accidcnt, and shouted: "01 won t
our moth-
noither I"

" My dear fellow," said Bonu Ilinchman to

glasses, they mix so much bettor when you
tion, the Society adjourned, and the have the control of both ingredients/' adopt who distrusts himse
ashes, out of revenge fpr some fancied ill-
usage. It is now the property of the Past'!
and to it lot it belong, Leave it to mánuro
tho fields where the historian reaps his har-
vest, and the antiquarian lovps to delVe, fór it,
is yours no more.
The year just slid away may have seemed
unkind 19 many of you, my brethren. Per-
haps it has upset somo of your strongest built
calculations—soured your sweetest hopes—
beclouded your brightest prospects—and play-
ed Tpm-fool with you in a number of ways.
Well suppose it lias, what then ? " What yer
goin' to do about it?" as says tlie young rascal
that "kills for Kcyscr." Ay, what can you
do with tho matter? Why, let it rest.—
This stirring up the carion of former ills,
old disappointments and by-gone vexations,
is severe upon the nostrils of Memory, and of
no moro use than for digging diamonds in a
dunghill.
My dear friends:, if tho Past presents but
a melancholy pic,turo to behold, turn your
backs upon it—right about face, and look at
tho Present; and make sure that it shall never
wantonly betray yoür confidence. Bo half
carcful, half careless: too much care may
kill a cat; and extremo carelessness has
broken many a man's neck, besides tho
hearts of thousands. I will toll you how to
make the Present comfortable— and holdout
good:
Keep cool; bo busy; clarify your conscience
and exhibit a clean shirt.
God has given you reason to control your
passions; therefore hold in your passions, and
let them trot, or they , may run away with
your reason; and then you sink yourselves to
a watcr level with the brute.
Tho wisest and best of men sometimes com-
mit errors; but rectify them as soon as they
are recognized, and the devil will let you off!
Always cnact a noble part; for man being
the noblest concoction of creation ho is ex-
pected to do it—otherwise lie may expect a
few kicks for his obstrepcrousncss.
Bo charitablc—to yourselves first, and your
poor neighbor afterwardsbut when you do a
deed of charity, stick your left hand in your
coat pockct, in order that you may not see
what the right hand is up to.
I needn't warn you against committing.bad
actions; for your own inherent fear of shame
and-the love of approbation aro sufficient to
curb you. O, no i vou wouldn't do anything
wrong for half of liea^en, and tho whole of
California!
Implant such seeds and golden principles
as will be likely to take the quickest and deep-
est root; but, if you haul out adiandful of the
"yollow boys," and say, " Them's my princi-
ples," I advise you not to plant them at all—
salt them down for tho future.
In your undertakings, bo wise. Recollect it
is easier to build two chimneys than to mam-
tain one. •
Bo virtuous, by all means. Virtue confers
the greatest dignity on man, and gives him a
push along the path of prosperity.
Nover esteem yourselvos wise—fools only
do that.
To gain wisdom, choose the middle; station
of life. Poverty worries your thoughts con-
la'ry to the perfect appreciation of the author.
There is either a forced and unnatural mouth-
ingj a hCffltatirtg and4mpérfcct articulation, or

Whatever may bo tlüo iíhpcrfefctions of bur
school tuition, ihia defect is rather to bo at-
tributed to a waint pf taste, and consequent;
neglect of practico on tlie part of grown-up in-
dividuals, than to-any defect in their elemen-
tary turning Thejo may be a deficiency o£
good morals; but tho main evil arises from the
unequal value which seems? to be attached to
good reading as compared • with iüüsic, dan-
cing, painting, a"d other fashionable acquire-
ments.. ' Why M should boio, we can discov-
er ho good cause, dnít on' tho contrary, see
many substantial reasons why rending aloud
should be cultivated as one of the most useful
and attractive of domestic accomplishments.
To young ladiespfor example, thp habit of
reading aloud has much to recommend it. As
mere exercise; it is liigbly bcnéfictnl, on ac-
count of tho strength and vigor which it con-
fers on tho chest fend lungs, while the mental
pleasure to be derived therefrom is one of the
most delightful'that ca?\jidóm thp family cir-
cle. Gather^.,round'thc winter's firo or ev-
ening lamp, what could be more cheerful for
the aged andMnflrm, what more instructive
tp the younger branches, of mpre exemplary
to the careless, than the reading aloud of some
entertaining author; and who could do this
with greater grace, or more impressive effect,
than a youthfurfcinalc ? It requires no'great
effort to attain this art—no neglect of music,
painting,- or other accomplishment. It is, in
fact, more a practico than a study, and onp
which the interest cxcitcd by new books and
periodicals would always prevent from becom-
ing dull .or (tiresome. Were 1 females of; all
ranks to adopt thó practice moro than they do
at present, they would- bind to their homes
many whp are otherwise disposed to"'go in
search of unworthy jaúoymiütt, and would
aiitf another chain of delightful associations
wherewith to attach the young to tho family
hearth. Another.advantagO which it Would
confer On the fair' readers themselves, ^'ould
be the improved utteranco and intonation
which correct reading would produce, instead
of that simpering and lisping which arc so of-
ten to be met with, even among females of thp
higher classes. Ncr is it to women in their
domestic capacity only that the practice of
reading aloud would be attended with benefit.
Many of the middle and lower classes arc under
tho necessity of earning a livelihood by indoor
employments, such-as millinery, straw-plait-
ing, pattern-painting, and the like ; and being
in general occupied in one apartment of mod-
erate size, the reading aloud of proper books
would be to them not only a sourco of Health-
ful recreation, but of amusement and inetruc-
tion. In such establishments, reading liy
turns would present a beautiful picture;.and
however limited the amount of information dis-
seminated, it would, at all events, be a thou-
sand times preferable to that system of idle
and worthless gossip which is saidnow to pre-
vail.

With weather thus- favorable, wo think it

until it has well driod, beforo the smokicg is
commenced. Care should always be-takon
not to crowd the pieces, but let each hang at
sufficient distare from the other to admit a
free circulation of air and smoke. The hams
ought to hang with the hock end down.

process of smoking ought tp be completed in
this climate by the lt#t of February, before
the fly makes its appearance. By this: time
the hams ought to be'tfckcn down, and in pomo
way protected against the deposit of the ski]

corning your wants; and riches bother you
concerning tho enjoyments of their superflui-
ties.
Don't seek constant repose; for you will
soon get tired of having nothing to do. Do-
ing nothing by the month, is the hardest kind
of work, and the poorest of pay.
Stick to your friends—forsake themt and
you are entitled to no confidence. Lf you de-
vour them, cherish, at least, their'memory.
But I kpow how it is: the bread that is eatpn
is Boon forgotten.
Improve all present opportunities; yet I am
fully persuaded that two-thirds of you are too
lazy to take advantage of them. Find, then,
no fault, with tho Present; "but tie yourselvos
up, and put on the cowhide, without fear, fa-
vor, or friendship.
While you feed tho body, gjye a little fod-
der to the mind; and so nourish the activity
of your thoughts, as well as a cater to thg
capricious wants of your Btomach. •
Now, my friends, by paying a proper ob-
servance to these wholesome precepts, your
present prospccts will, in all probability, keep
as bright as the untarnishable sun itself; but
if adventitious circumstances should operate
against you, in spite of all—should sorrowful
accidents happen, as they sometimes will "in
the best regulated families"—and you can't
get forward much faster that you slip back-
ward—spunk up. Determino that the Futuro
shall more than make up for all disappoint-

Tp young men preparing for. professional

is a becoming and valuable acquirement. . Ask

Of self-perusal. And why is this ? Simply
because tho youth has never been taught to
regard reading aloud in the light of a graceful
accomplishment. At scho.pl ho learned to,
know his words, and that wfts so far useful: 1
but to read as á gentleman, in the spirit and
meaning of the author that is What he has yet
to acquire by the Imitation of good models
and by frequent practice. That the art ofrcad
ing aloud is át the low ebb we raoñtlon, any
ono can readily convince himself by reques-
ting his friend to .read for hurt tho last speech
of tho British premier, or message of tho Amer-
ican Pfofeiderit. Twenty toiono he will find
his friend an apt enough scholar, but a care-
less and indifferent enunciator—one who has
all along read foi- himself, and whose, oftly ob-
ject has been tnerejy to acquire the meaning

turns of this duty, and those1 whb could not,
paying others whe did, according* tho amount
of time spent in the exorcise.
In somo instances, indeed, a reader. was

read the public debates and leading articles
