The short colloquy which I had thus almost unwillingly listened lo gave me a considerable amount of information about the younger of the two men. I had seen him frequent- ly in my city preregrinations, and his active, bustling air had more than once made me wonder who and what he was. I now knew that he had recently begun business, that he had already achieved tolerable success, and that ho had succeeded by pati- ence and perse vet ance in getting into the good graces of the wea’thy mer- chant whose equilibrium he had so roughly disturbed. 1 saw that he had energy and decision, that his ready smile and frank address were well calculated to make friends for him, and as his form rapidly receded in the distance, I could not help wishing him every success, and men- tally exclaiming : ‘ 1 here goes one who will yet be first in the race.’ (From tho Scottish Amoricati Journal.) above Hotel is fitted up i:t neat and om ortable style.

I was waiting for a friend near the corner of our sireet this morning, and trying to beguile the time by mentally noting the peculiarities of the passers, when my eye fell on a porth-look ng, hearty old gentle- man, whose sleek appearance and sable furs unmistakeably proclaimed him a wealthy citizen. He was picking his steps very carefully along ihe si ppery sidewalk, and had just approached the street corner, when a young man shot round it with the velocity of a rocket, and a collision ensued which inevitably would have precipitated the old gentleman into an unsavory pool of half-melted snow, had not the young man caught him suddenly in his arms. ‘Why don’t you look where you’re going to, sir?’ began he, rather angrily, and then catching a view ol the offender, ‘O Tom, it's you, is it'! Confound it, man, we all know you’re a pushing young fellow well enough, without your illustrating the fact by pushing your betters into the gutter !’ 41 beg a thousand pardons Mr. Wilsonâ€"hope you’re not hurt ?â€" Most obnoxious corner this.

You must be doing a great deal of business lhat you need lo rush through the streets in such a terrible hurry !? ‘ Wellâ€"no. I’m not doing verv much yet. One can’t expect to do ihe big thing all at once, but I am both making some progress and try- ing hard to make more.’ ‘ That’s right Tomâ€"nothing like trying ; and, by the by, talking about that puts me in mind that J have at last tried that piece of cloth you left with toe, and think it will do.’ ‘ Good,’ said Tom, whipping out a pencil and note-book with a pleased expression, ‘ I knew it would come to that, if you could only be got to give it a fair trial. IIow many more will you want!’ ‘About six piecesâ€"or stayâ€"as it really is a good thing for my pur- pose, and as you deserve some en- couragement for boring it into me so persevering!}', you may say a dozen, and if they turn out like the sample you shall have a big or- der soon.’ * I’ll guarantee every yard equal to the sample, so you may as well uive me the big order at once.’ ‘Come t ow, Tom, don’t be greedy. Send me the dozen, and when we have got through them we will see what else can be done, though be- fore that,’ added he with a banter- ing air ; ‘ perhaps I may pick them up cheaper elsewhere.’ ‘ Can’t be done,’ said Tom empha- tically ; “so if that’s the only thing that stands between me and the big order, I feel about as sure of it as though I had it already. All rub',, thoughâ€"I'll send you the dozen pieces to-day, and call in about a week.’ II. SATURDAY. Old Jolly’s saloon is rather a dingy- looking place outside. What between dimming the windows more than half-way up, hanging the blinds more than half-way down, and setting a large green screen at the back of the obscured glass door, there’s no see- ing into the establishment, much less of seeing through it. There’s a sus- piciously reserved air about old Jolly’s that I don’t half approve of. It does not court investigation, like the fui niture-store next door. Had the house a tongue, and did it know how to use that valuable organ, I think the first inquisitive juvenile who tried to peer through the cor- ner pane where therd is a little of the obscuring rubbed of, would re- ceive some excellent advice which might be of use lo him ever after- watds. ‘ Look to your own affairs,’ ‘Attend to yourself and never mind me,’ ‘Give us none of your Paul Pry tricks here,’ seems written up all over the building, from the basement to the garret. But the crowning mystery is the door. Everybody says that Simpkins the dry-goods man is making money, and I can Wwll believe it, because the ladies are never done (locking in and out ot Simpkins’ very busy door. But overbody says that old Jolly is mak- ing money too, and vet I never see any one go in or come out at that J door. Jt is as solitary and deserted as any church-door on a week-day ; but for all that, if you investigate the matter, you will find a surprising amount of general informolion on the subject of old Jolly s floating about amongst till classes of your acquaint- ance. Ask your highly respectable friend Brown what sort of a place it is, and if you don't happen to belong to the church in which he has the honor to hold the oflice of Deacon, he will tell you in confidence that ‘Jolly keeps the best glass of brandy to be had anywhere.’ Ask Mi. Jones, your neighbor's swell book- keeper, and he will say : ‘ Frst-rate place for an oyster supperâ€"good attendance, fine furniture, and lots of nice pictures of the warmly imagin- ative schoolâ€"that is, slightly French)', you know.’ Nav, even your very quiet acquaintance Ro- binson, if you come upon him with the sudden question, on which side of the room does Jolly’s stove stand 1 ten to one but he will answer with- out a moment’s hesitation : ‘ Right hand corner, opposite the door,’ and yet no one ever saw either Brown, Jottes, or Robinson making an en- trance or an exit at Joily’s very L'Cl MILLWRIGHT) ALTON A, EGS to intimate that lie is now pre- pared to erect MILLS of every j desciiptioii, by contract or otherwise, on reasonable terms, lie is also agent for some 4 That will do, Tom ; Call in a week.

How they 'n or out is more than I can tell, but this s certain, that both in and oul they have been pretty fre- quently, and nobody in the least suspects them of it, unless it is you or 1 who are in the secret. On the evening of which we are now writing ihe ‘ Merry Crickets ’ were holding a meeting there.â€" They are a club of young men who assemble on Saturday nighls in Jolly’s back parlor to recruit them- selves, after the labors of the week, with a social glass and a merry song. The room in which they meet is well adapted for the pur- pose. It has a high roof, a snug air of comfort, a long dining-table, and a handsome chair, set on a slightly elevated stand, for the use oi' the President. At the moment wThen we enter the room there is a group if about twenty young men seated ound the table, which is littered vitli all the usual drinking and smoking appurtenances, and a youth who is evidently a leading member of the club is giving voice lo a stir- ring song, with marked enjoyment both to himself and his audience. I seldom forget faces, out the ad- juncts of the two scenes are so to- tally different that it requires rather a stretch of memory to realize the fact that the Merry Cricket who now ‘ favors the company with a song’ is the identical individual who warbles with so much fervor and such a remarkably fine tenor in the Rev. Mr. Tecchcr’s choir every Sunday. Whnt I heard him sing hist Sabbath morning I would not like to repeat while vve are in Mr. Jolly’s back parlor, but you need i ot atop your ears just now any more than you did on the for- mer occasion. *• Solomon in all his glory TeHs us quite another story, To be sad it is a folly, Sunday is a holiday !” ' Universal tshorus.’ This mis- pronounciation is considered witty in old Jolly’s, and is laughed at accordingly. “ Pass the glass, boys, let’s be jolly, Drive away all melancholy, Laugh and quaff'while yet wo mar, Sunday is a holiday I” ‘Bravo! Bravo!’ rung out from all parts of the room, while the glasses danced and jingled in jjnison with the enthusiastic knocks be- stowed on the table. As soon as the hubbub had subsided, a young man, whose features we at once re- cognized, rises from his chair and addresses tiie presiding genius : • With your permission, Mr. Pre- sident, I will now retire.’ • Go so soon] Nonsense!’ burst from half-a-dozen voices. ‘ Excuse me, gentlemen, but I am n( t used to late hours.’ ‘ Never too late to lean, my dear fellow,’ broke in a rather fast- looking youth, ‘ couldn’t think of letting you off so early.’ * Mr. President,’ said another Merry Cricket, rising to his feet, ' the gentleman who has just asked leave to retire is a stranger among us. though I trust he will not long continue so. (Hear, hear, from se- veral voices.) We have had the pleasure to hear him sing this even- ing in a very superior manner, and I am sure there is not a gentleman in the room who would not be highly gratified to hear him sing again. (Great applause.) Thai gentleman has said that he is un- used to late hours’â€"here the speaker smiled incredulously, as if doubtful of the existence of such a remote stage of ‘ greenness,’ and continued with an air of good-hum- ored railleryâ€"‘You all Know,gentle- men, that I would be the last, man to * teach the young idea how to shoot ’ in a wrong directionâ€"(ironical cries of hear, hear;â€"but New Year’s night comes only once a year.-â€" Even tho very best regulated fa- milies allow a little license on this evening ; and I hope that the gentle- man who honors us with his pre- sence for the first time to-night will take this fact into consideration, coupled with f.he unanimous wish of the company, and not set the Merry Crickets a bad example by* leaving at such an unusually early hour. 1 propose that that gentle- man, instead of retiring, should re- main where he is and sing an- other song.’ (Loud continued ap- plause. ) (To be concluded in our next.) Words op Wisdom.â€"Sidney Smith says, in one of his works: Mankind arc always happier for having been happy ; so that if you make them happy now. you make them happy twenty years hence, by the memory of it. A childhood passed with a due mixture of ration- al indulgence, under fond and wise patents, diffuses over the whole of life a feeling of calm pleasure, and, in extreme old age, is the very last remembrance which time can erase from tho mind of man. No enjoy- ment, however inconsiderable, is confined to the moment. A man is ihe happier for life from having once made an agreeable tour, or lived for any length of time with pleasant people, or enjoyed any considerable interval of innocent pleasure ; which contributes to render old men so at- tent.ve to the scenes before them, and carries them back to a world that is, past, and to scenes never to be renewed again. SIMPLICITY IN WOMAN* Among many other definitions, Mr. Webster gives the following to the word Simplicity:â€"“Artless* ness of mind ; freedom from dupli- city, sincerity, plainness ; freedom from artificial ornament.” Now, let any one analyze these terms, and then apply them to human cha- racter, and what can make a crea- ture of Godâ€"a rational intellec- tual, immortal creature â€" more lovt ly than simplicity'? We go a step farther, and ask, what is there so engaging in woman, so fascin- ating, so charming, as simplicity 1â€" artlessness of mind ! How sweet and becoming to a fair one whose face is the index to the heart!â€" No cunning craftiness, no strata- gem. no studied concealment, but Iiko ihe pure unmixed waters of the pellucid lake, unruffled by the winds of heaven, you can look to the very depths of the heart and sec nothing t<> detract from its beauty. No duplicity, but unalloyed sincerity ; no display, no artificial ornament, bv which the real defects and deformities of character are hid from the c) e of the superficial observer. Reader, if you were asked, What is the most desirable quality of a woman's manners, of dress, and of address, would you not answer simplicity? In thus responding you would only utter the sentiment of every well regulated mind and every honest heart. And yet, is it not strange that women so often mis- apprehend the real sentiments of the sterner sex] To look abroad1 upon society and mark the manner of the fair, one would be led to . hink that the idea but too generally pre- vails that women regard art, con* cealment, and ornament, as essentia!1 lo perfection ol character. Hence the affectation which we often meet. Hence the display of costly orna- mentsâ€"the exhibiton of gaudy trap- pings, the rude attempts to improve the beautiful finish which has been imparted to the human face by the hand of the Creator. Simplicity ! How this quality at- tracts the admiration of the good.â€"• ‘‘She is a child of nature 1” This characteristic at once securcs your confidence and affection. Such a one can be trusted. She is worthy your heart’s love, and will not fall below your high estimate of real worth. SMOKE FOR WOUNDS. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman mentions the case of a horse, which was just ready to die of an oid and festered wound. For- tunately, he adds, at this stage of the ease an old Pennsylvania team- ster came to our relief, and recom- mended smoking with old shoes. A smoke was made of old shoes, soles and all cut in pieces, in a hog trough, and placed under the swoll- en parts. In a few hours the swell- ing wholly subsided, and the soro commenced discharging matterâ€"the horse was saved. Some years after this I heard two- persons talking about a horse which had been gored in the abdomen. In this case everything had been tried in vain. The poor creature must die. At my suggestion he was smoked, and when I next heard from him the old horse was well. So mirh for old wounds. In the same year I cut my foot ; while it was yet bleeding freely, I held it over a pan containing smok- ing tag-loeks. In a few minutes the bleeding stopped and the smoke was removed, and a bandage applied to. protect it from accidental blows. The wound never matured, and con- sequently never pained me. I have tried this remedy in many similar cases and always with the same re- sults. Let the reader bear in mind lhat no liniment or salves, drawing or healing, should be applied'. You have merely to smoke the woun I well, and nature will do the rest. 1 suppose the smoke of burning wood would produce the same re* stilts, but it would not be so manage- able. There is a principle in ihQ smoke of wood, which when applied to the flesh, coagulates the albumen, thus rendering it unsusceptible of putrefaction. The same principle stops bleeding by coagulating tl^e blood. It promotes healing and may be applied with decided benefit to almost all ulcers, wounds and cu- taneous diseases. See urner^ Chemistry, by Liebig and Gregory, p. 1242. For chapped hands and lips, mo-r lasses is the best remedy ever used, if my cows have some sore teats, or an ox chafes off the outer skit, so a$ to occasion the blood to start. I ap, ply molasses.^-Country Gentlemari. IIow to be a Man.â€"It is not by books alone or chiefly, one be- comes in all points, a man.
