with the good man Job, groaning lament-
ing, and cursing the day when the3* rang-
ed themselves voluntarily among the
squashes. Then they will be no longer
formidable, and their voices, lonely like
those of the pelican in the desert, or the
sparrow upon the house-tops, wall extin-
guish themselves altogether. Hearken
unto our wish, O Lord, and you will be
blessed from age to age for all future time,
and the philosophers will have disappear-

Oxe of the most singular things in this
world, is how men came to chew tobacco.—
it is not only dirty and disagreeable, aud
spoils your breath, mouth and shut bosom,
but it contains a'"pizeti'' as deadly as that
vended by a rattlesnake; and yet in spite
of all this, there are people who prefer it not
only to guano but nectar, and actually roll
it under their tongues as a sweet morsel.—
Some men have uo idea of any bliss more
exquisite. An old sailor, while on his death-
bed. was asked what he supposed heaven
was fenced in with. With an eye full of
hope and expectancy, he exclaimed—' Pig-
tail tobaeco!'? He had no idea that even
God could make anything more consoling
to a regenerated man.

nature of a mixed despotism. Tin ia \ '
imperious fair one can occasionally be
wheedled, or . flattered, or beguiled into
ietiug a husband have his own way. But
the tyranny of fashion is thorough, pitiless,
unrelaxrng. No coquette was ever half
so cruel to an adorer as fashion is to the
coquette. No belle is as whimsical as
fashion. No slighted beauty can be as
relentless in the hour of her fancied as-
cendancy, as fashion at her annual return
to power. It is told, that when a cer-
tain Persian monarch limped, all his cour-
tiers limped in harmony. So fashion can
do nothing so absurd but that her subjects
will imitate it. This winter she prescribes
flowing sleeves, and every woman shivers
from wrist to elbow. She demands an
open boddice, aud lace chemisettes cotuo
up. Just as a few years ago, she order-
ed tight sleeves for thin or fat arms irre-
spectively as, a few years hence,
she will decree dresses cut high in the
throat, whether the throat is ugly or pret-
ty, perhaps whether there is any throat at
all.
