The modest virgin, the prudent wife or the careful matron, are much more serviceable in life than petticoated philosophers, blustering heroines virago queens. She who makes her husband and her children happy, who reclaims the one from vice, and trains up the other to virtue, is a much heroine greater than ladies described in romance, those whose occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from the quiver of their eyes.—Goldsmith. The other day two colored individualswere standing at a depot—one on the platform, the other on the track. The gemmen on the track was indulging in loud laughter at something he had witnessed, when his comrade called out—" I say Bill you's be great danger dar! " " Why so ?" says Bill. „Kase when de train come along it'll take your mouf for the depot and ruu in dar!"—American paper.
