Jan. 1, 1856. MANUFACTURER S. STURHER, Now, travelling in a stage coach is rather prosy business. People in this situation are apt to show themselves peevish and selfish ; so the young lady's good humor was, for a time, very agreeable to the travelers. Every barn was made the subject of a passing joke, wbilo the cows and hens look demurely on, little dreaming that folks could be merry at their expense.— Animals are not sensitive in that respect. They are not likely to have their feelings injured because people make fun of them ; but when We come to human beings that is another thing. So it seems to me, for after a while an old woman came running across the fields, swinging her bag at the coachman, and in a shrill voice begging him to stop. Pleasant Bunshine not only brightoM* man's buttons, bat his heart; it makes kit spirit as cheerful as the landscape. He cannot liv» and be happy— he eaonot b*. happy without it. White is not beauty, any more than & mclancholy blue is the " color of virtue," and yet the insane dodging of the sun has its origin in some sqqh optical delusion.— We catch school girls eating chalk and drinking vinegar to render themselves pale and interesting.

The good mituredooachman drew up his horse, and the good lady coming to the fence by the roadsido, squeezed herself through two bars, which were not only in a horizontal position, but very near together. The young lady in the stage-coach made some ludicrous remark, and the passengers laughed. It seemed very excusable ; for in getting through the fence the poor woman had made sad work with hor old blaek bonnet, and now taking a seat beside a well dressed lady, really looked m if she had been blown then by a whirl, wind. This was a new piew of fun, and the girl nada the moat of it. She oarricaturtd thaold lady upon a card ; pret«ndJ cd, when she was not looking, to take pat terns of her bonncj, and in various othei ways tried to raisp.' a laugh.
