Well, it's likely tho whigs and abolitionists would like to see tho British come int first best, Mr. lleaiwell, bnt l'm sure the dimocrats would rather see them licked all to pieces. Weil. Mr Brown, settling politics ard war ' news aside, 1 think you would make money, and save time, by expending $1.00 for a county newspaper. tou reccollect, you asked mo the price of wheat this morning, which you would have known every week had you been taking the paror. . xou said you took a load or potatoes to tpwn. What did you get for them? , . ; ' ' I got thirty one cents. . I saw you going with them, an 1 po tatoes were bringing forty cents at the same time, which you would have known had you taken tho papers They were bringing fifty cents a few weeks ago, and 1 sold mine then, at that pneo. How m ny bmhels did you tako in? ' lwentv bnshols: , So you lost three dolls a d eighty cents by not knowing what potatoes were worth in the market. Well I did that's a lact, and tho scimp tucked a two-dollar counterfeit bill on me, too. I never tound u out ontill I woDt to pay Simpson tor them sheep I bought of him, and they . say the lcllow has Jctt town. , that is another reason that you should take the papers, rerhaps you would have seen somflthing in them abont late counterfeits by which you would have saved that loss. Yon Bee now, neignbor Brown, that you might have saved noavlv six dollars on that ono trip to town, if you had been a regular r a lor of your county paper. Now, Mr Brown, let mcporsuade yon to take tho paper. - John, bring the last one hero, and let Mr Brown tako it homo with him and read it.

Tho citizens were sorely pressed for the neeosParieH of life, bnt the sustenance of the armies were balanced against this," and the beam swung in favor of the hitler. All animals capable of carrying a l oldicr, his, gun 'ind blanket, woro pressed into the servitoj ond almost tbo whole command, consequently, came mnuuted! Such rigs were never seen before. Some had struppod a blank ct around the frail, hairgured ; frames of hunger pinched horsos, and were plodding cisurely along, looking like fit follower of the Knight de la Manebu aftor an arduous und fruitless adventure. Why Ladles Dress Extravagantly An exchango in alluding to the great cxtravaganco in dress by the ladies oftho North, gives tho following reasons. One reason of this ox-travaganco in dress amongst tho softer box is, tho great abundance of mousy, and tho ease with with which fortunes are madenow-a-dnys. Tho wife of a contractor who. three years ago, considered hot-self well dressed when arrayed in fifteen cent calico, ; now thinks herself shabby nnless she is tricked out in figure I silk or coloro J satin, with a fifty dollar lion net and two hundred dollar cloak, and jewels worth fr 1111 ouo to ten thousand dol- lors. Another reason is, becauso moij are getting scarce, tho ar thinnod the ranks of the admirers of the admirers of femalo beauty, leaving a smaller number to bo captivatod The rivalry amongst the ladies caused them to resort toall the arts th3y can command in order to conquer the hearts of the few remaining t. be slaughtered by the artillery of bright eyes and the strategy of nmntnamak ers. The girls must uow bustle tor aux. und as all tho sensible voang mm have gono to tho war, tho silly birds who remain are easilf cmght by tho chaff of the dry goods stores.

Jiut let the family intercourse be true, tender, and altoctionara, und the manners of all uniformly gentle and considerate, and the members of the family thus trained will carry into the world and soniety the habits of their childhood. Tbey will requiro iu thoir associates similar qualities they wilt not bo satisfied without mutual esteem, and the cultivation of the best affections, and thoir own character will be, sustained by that faith io goodness which belongs to a mind exercised in pure and high thoughta, Not the Wat to Get on. -"How do you like arithmetic?" said a friend of the family to Joho, a? he came home ' from school with his slate under bis arm.
