The following Ineident has often been . mentioned, but it will bear repeating here— } . “ When the Hon, Edward Everett was our . Minister to the Court of St. James. be re. ceived a letter from one of the interior . counties of England. telling him tbat they . had io their Honse of Correction an Ameri. can seaman, whom they were desirous of beingrid of, He wrote back that the man . might be sent to London, where be might be . sent to the United States; adding the snggestion, that if the British Minister at Wash. . ington were applied to in the same way by . the overseers of the almsbouses and wardens of the United States, he would be kept pret . ty busy! The circumstance was related by Mr. Everett, in a publie address a few years since. “I really felt pleased,” said he, ‘at . atime when my own little State of Massachusetts was assisting from ten to twelve _ thousand destitute British subjects annually . to be able to relieve the empire, ‘upon whose . dominions the sun never sets,’ of the only . American peuper qnartered upon it.” A Western Farwer.—Mr. Jaceb Strawn . of Illinois has for Limaelf the reputation of . the giant farmer ofthe West. Twenty-seven NEVADA NATIONAL .

Montgomery, Ala., in the course of which he said ; aia He was heartily glad that be kad visited America, as it enabled him to witness the . practical workings of our Government, and to see the condition of hie country-men who had made thie their home of their adoption, He was bighly pleased with what be had . seen thus far and could not but wish this re. public a contiuance of the prosperity it now evinced. He was glad, also, on another account : he was satisfied that there did not exist in America that feeling of antagonism towards Irishmen and professors of the Catholic religion which he had been led to suppote prevailed among the native portion of the population, and which bis countrymen at home eupposed exists here to so great an extent. He would be glad to see Trishmén in America earn the respect of the American people and fit themselves for any station they might be called upon to oceupy He only asked, for them that their nationality , and their religious principles should not operate against them in the event they were called upon to occupy positions of honor, trust or emolument—that they might be regarded as American citzens whenever they proved themselves wort! y onesand then only .

A Cotoren Sickues axp Ker Arrain.— . Rev. D. G. Lett, pastor of the African Methodist church in Chicago, was so intimats . with the wife of Dr. Covey, who, as well as her busband, was member of bis church, . nothing can save her from the appellation lof an old maid. In short, Ihave always found that neatness, modesty, economy, and humanity, are the never failing character . istics of an old maid.

Wednesday, finding the two tete-a-tete in Franklin went to London, entered a printing . his palor, he ran for his pistol leveled it at . bis pa stor’s heart, and, * with an air worthy of a policeman, missed him—missed him at least twice. The pastor fled, but all parties were subsequently arrested. The lady's story is that the conversation was on spiritnal things. The colored population are exc'ted —Jeurnal. Eat Fat Meat. It is tae opinion of the ableat medical men in the country, that fat meat is essential to bealth. Dr. Dixon says the use of oil would decrease the victims of consumptions nine tenths. Dr. Hooker alsosays that without . , fat meat, sooner or later, the body is almost sure to show the effects of deficient calorifi. cation. Young persons who will eat plenti. fully of fat meat will never die of consump. . tion. Those who avoid the use of fat meat . seldom live to a good old age, but die between the ages of 22 and forty-five. Re. member this and prepare your bcdics for a . good old age by eating a plenty of fat meat. [Mason’ec Mirror.

Dr Adams. in bis “ Three “Months in . the South,’’ saye—“ every slave bas an inalienable claim in law upon bis master for support for the whole of his life. He cannot be thrust into an almshouse—be cannot become a vagrant—he cannot beg for his living—he cannot be wholly neglected when he is old and decrepit. I saw a white. headed negro at the door of bis cabiu on a . gentleman’s estate, who had done no work . for ten years. He cnjoysall the privileges . of the plantation, garden and orchard ; jis clothed and fed as carefully as though he was useful.

A lad from America seeking work as a printer! well, do you understand the Art of Printing? Can you set type?” Franktin stepped to one of the cases, and ina very brief space of time, set up the following paseage from the first chapter of . the Gospel! of St. John : “ Nathaniel raith unto him, can any . good thing come out of —— ? Philip saith unto him, come and se It was done so quickly, so mai and . contained so delicate a reproof, so appropri. ate and powerful, that it at once gave him . « standing and character with all in the office. ” inquired the .

Mapamge ex Matstenon.—In everything women write there will be thousands of . faults against grammar, but also, to a certainty, always a charm never to be found in . the letters of men. J. J. Rosseav.—Men can better philoso. phise on the human heart, but women can read it better. . Micnerer.—It is a universal rule, which, as far as 1 know, bas noexception, that great men always resemble their mothers, who im. press their mental and physical mark upon their sone. . Mapaw Fer.—A W the love she feels, . ehe inspires, oman frequently resists but cannot resist the love MADAME DE Stat.-—Love, in a woman's . yife is a history ; in a man’s, an episode. Dipsrot.—There exists among women a . secret tie, like that among priests of the same faith. They hate each other, yet protect each others interests. Stant.—No woman, even the most intellectual, believes herself decidedly homely. Dvcpos.—Gr eat and rare heart offerings are found, almost exclusively among women; nearly all the bappiness and most blessed moments of love are of their creatin _ in friendship, especially when it follows ove. Octave Frvitiit.—-Providence has so ordained it that only two women havea true interest in the happiness of a man—his own mother and the mother of his chtldren, Besides these two legitimate kinds of love, there is nothing between the two creatures — vain excitement, painful and idle deusivn.
