It was therefore during the existence of this liighly commendable sfate of things that a certain young officer of the army, who had recently foined his regiment, and whom we shall, therefore for convfiuience sake, call Lieut^bant Newcome, arrived at-the close of a very fatiguing day's travel in the spring, whan, as the reader may know, an Arkansas bottom road is a happy compound of " cor- ^uroy" and " hog wallow," af^ log cabin holel, or to'call it fay its more appropriate appellation,." doggery," in a certaiu little town which ahall be nameles. Kow it so happened at thetime of our young Lieuten¬ ant's visit-f-fQf the "doggery" was '-Hob- son's choice," 4here being no other place within, twelve or. fifteen miles, whicli could famish horse feed and shelter—that this tavern of bad repute was favored by the presence of some half a dozen ^ border men, who, to do themjustice, could not have'been improved upoiflKi their very-peculiar way. And as one at least of these worthies wilj play a prominept part in the. characteristic, incident which we are about' to relate, we may as well sketch'him as a fair sample of the.lot. ., - Mr. Jake Chowler, was an accomplished, but withal, somewhat eccentric rascal. He • could cheat his companion at a "friendly game of poker," aud shoot him afterwards, if lie had the audacity to object to the pi:.o- ceiure, with aa little remorse as he would have brought dqwn a "painter," or " drawn aleaduppna.bqar*" In person he was a tall,lank, fever-aud-ague-shaken specimen of humanity, with ojdkempt, towy hair, and a mi-stpro^Slo^ Ijeard, which looked aa if it might have .been permitted to grow from the-date-of its first appearance; he had, inofe >ver, keen eyes, deeply sunken, and as restless as ¦ an Indian's: add sharply out features,, a low, receding forehead, and a sensual mouth, and you will have the por¬ trait of one of tlie worst men who ever made laws to suit himself, upon the Arkansas frontier. -.: ¦ As for his'dress, if you be curious .in ex¬ ternals, imagine acooif skin cap worn nearly upontheBackof the head, a loose tobaffco stained overcoat, mnch the worse for wear> in whose side pocket the butt of a horse pis- jol was distinctly visible, a pair of mud soil¬ ed pants with riding leathers, and buffalo ovei shoes,'&nd you have completed au inven¬ tory of garihents which argued qnite as un¬ favorably for their wearer as did. the reckless, dissipRte^ expression of tho man himself. In fact, to gum up Mr. Jake Chowler, or as he preferred' calling himself, Pine Knot Jake, 19.the.fewest possible wordsj he was the terror .of the country round ; for with him to " j ump a man np," with reason or without reason, for it mattered little as to the amount of provocation with Jake,- was "good sport," .a.nd to him afterwards the consummation of a 1 ather amusing affair. '^ With so paace-breaking a disposition, it is hardly to be wondered at, that "Pine Knot Chowler" should have made a mental note: •of our young-officer's quiet -entry into'thej caliin where, at that particular moment,' Mr. Chowler was enjoying himself,, by indulging .in the innocent relaxation of alternate whis- » key drinking, gambling, and dancing, or as the individual in question termed it " break- in' down!" for there was a white headed old ¦darkey present who was aiding the revel by ¦the execution bf "liat goof old time," which he rattled off upon his violin with a facility of execution wWeb betokened a prac¬ ticed' hand. ' In the mean; time, our Lieutenant, who was'stiUaufferirig from the eifects of a recent illness, had taken an out-of-the-way seat near the stoife,'^ where *he evinced a strong dispo¬ sition to" avojid any intercourse with the Bor¬ derers. It may be, too, that the young man laid himaelf jopen to the charge of "putting on aira," by negleotiiig opon his entrance, to salute the company either by the customary "good eveuing, gentlemen," or the yet more Western polite greeting of asking- "the crowd to step up and liquor," at his expense-- ^ None of which, as we have already intima¬ ted, had- escaped the keen eye of Mr. Jake Chowler,. "He didn't like it. He allowed that thardog-gonned city-raised ihin^ inthar brass buttons, war a puttin' on mighty high falutin ways, an' crowdin' thar boyg a heap " But Fine Knot- Jake was not the man to ;ikiit^--^;^kiy.^|'j;^g^^t^^^^ i^eou,*^^i^}^^th'.i^^^^^^^ ¦ , '^ '¦ ^Lientenant:-rAnd X.tell you-, sir,.I wiU-npt I Clrowl4r:^^^all-Btrianger,'fefjyoa'will "ihev ]it'^p^We"irri.,CiioWler drW'.a hpl4e pistoJi; whic.h he cocked apd pointed, at the -Lieutq^i-;, anfarhead—'PU jest let:y60uknow, that -ef jyoir.don't'take-Vdririk with this hyar-childi ^^ ^-^"^ ?a|^y^' ^ ^oI;i''it,-'I'll ¦ r^se the top:of yonr head with this hyat tooljand ef that ddn*t settle you, I allow to gather yeou by your kar, an' shake yeou till y6ur dog- gonned toe nails drqp off, .: . Upon receiving this mild intimation, a close observer might have noticed thtf sudden change that passed like a cloud-shadow over the young soldier's face; for his eye flashed, 'the lip was compressed, and the thin nostrils dilated; but these signs of indignation, if snch they.were, larted but for a moment, and as the pale features settled back into their wonted repose, there was almost ¦ a smile, though some would hav'e called it a meaning one, upon Lieutenant Newcome's face, who, nevertheless, appeared ^ubdued, for he rose to liis feet, as if to comply with this very pressing invitation. "Mr., Chowler," said .Qur Lieutenant, * as they approached the filthy pen .of the liqnor- Btained boards, which enclosed the^ if possi¬ ble, still dirtier "bar,*" "Mr." CJiowler, I know your character! I ain entirely unarmed ;,I have told you that.I did not wish to drink, and I should not do so -now, except on oom-^ pulsion; at.the same timo, I pref^a- djinlcing even with youj to being shot down;"in cold blood." ' To this the bully mado-no verbal reply ¦ but laughed insultingly; ordered "drinks for two," laid his pistol upon the counter, andi at the same time, turned his head slightly round to exchange telegraphic congratula¬ tions with a companion, upon the ease with which he, the accomplished Pine Knot Chow¬ ler, had "backed down one of Uncle Sam's high falutin'pets." Bat Mr. Chowler's moment of triumph was destined to be short-Uved-7-indeed, its 6nd was already at hand—for young Newcome, who had an eye like a hawk, had been watch¬ ing his unceremonious acquaintance's move¬ ments keenly. He saw the pistols-laid down; a thought flashed across" his mVa^; -to exe¬ cute it was the work of an instant. '.He edged quietly towards the bar, and extended hia right arm as if to take up'the tumbler, ii> which the whiskey, brown sugar, ettf., had already been mingled for his benefit, but in¬ stead of doing so, he leant forward, shoved his persecutor aside'with one vigorous push of hisleft hand, and at the same time grasped the weapon, which, fortunately for him, was- still cocked, and with one spring, plwed his hack against the .wall, and aa they say out West, drew a bead upon Mr. Jake Chowler's left breast, who, in utter amazement at tliis most unexpected change in the position of affairs, was at the "inoment regarding him with distended eyea and opon mouth, not to dwell upon certain indications of bodily trep¬ idation, which had suddenly appeared upon the crest-fallen bully's now anxious face. "Mr. Chowler," said our Lieutenant, whose voice was even calmer than it was wheu he declined the first invitation tb step up and d«uk, "Mr. Chowler? you Had, or thought you liad matters all your owu way but a mo¬ ment ago; then, you was armed, and I was not; now, however, the tables are turned. So, as I have the superiority at present, you will very much oblige me, as there ia a fid¬ dler present, by stepping out upon the floor, and favoring this good company with a spec¬ imen of your dancing." .Mr. Chowler^—But I don't j^eZlike dancin', stranger. Lieutenant.—Exactly what I said to you, Mr. Chowler, a short time since; when, you requested me to drink; but though you do look as if you didn't feel like dancing, I mnst ' really insist upon your favoring us, the more so, as your friends seem to be anxious for yon to begin. Mr. Chowler.—But I don't want to dance, stranger. Lieutenant.—My own words, again sir; but yoa must permit me to answeryour objection in the same manner that yon replied to mine '• Idon't care whether you do or not; I wish you to dance for»ne.: my name is Harry Newcome, and when at my post, they call me, although hot considered easy to whip, a person who wont be. imposed upon. Now, Sir, will you dance for me, or shall I be under the painful, necessity of carrying out this parallel to our recent converaation, by promising to shoot you in a case of a refusal ? -^Mr. Pine-knot Chowler, looked into the Lieutenant's eye, which' was fixed intently upon his own, and, for a moment there was something in the almost fiend-like expres¬ sion of the baffled ruffian's face, which be¬ spoke a tiger foiled, but nerving' himself for some depparate leap: a second glance, how¬ ever, at the steady hand, whose fore-finger rested-Tipon the trigger'of a weapon,'which as nobody knew better than Mr. Jake Chpw- ler, had never yet missed fire, had its restrain¬ ing effect: So, with something* that sounded ¦marvellously like a smothered growl, Mr. Chowler, stepped out upon the floor, and made a sign to the terrified darkey, who had since the bully's discomliture, sat staring with protruding eyeS at the brass-buitoned stranger, " to strike up something about right," and then began shuffling away, like.* bean upon a hot iron plate ! but though his movements were awkward enough at first, there was sonethiBg.either in the time or in the necessity of making the best of a bad matter, wljich 8eeme"a to Operate soothingly upon the Borderer, for as the negro bent to his instrnmeut, Mr. Chowler's grim features' relaxed, expanded, and at length widened out into a really hearty laugh, as he finished up a hoe-down, witha sort of first class, back- actiou double shuffle and cut the pigeon-wing step in the most approved Arkansas style; " Stop, Mr, Chowler," cried the Lieuten¬ ant. Mr. Chowler stood firm in his tracks as if glued to the floor, the'' music ceased and a dead silence reigned in the cabin. " Mr. Chowler," said the young officer, " I oame here to-night a stranger to,you all ; I neither interfered with you, nor did I do any¬ thing to provoke the treatment which I have received. You insisted upon, my drinking with you. I declined, not from auy desire to give offence or because I believed that I should incur anj' degradation hy go doing, but simply for the reason given in my reply to your invitation that I did not feel like it. A little good luck, Mr._ Chowler, coupled with somo management on my part, has enabled me to prevent as well as punish your attempt to force me into doing what. I have already positively declined, and now, sir, I can only say, as I have told you before, that I have not even a pen-knife,' with which to defend, myself—for I am about to return your pistol —and if either you or your friends should seo fit to murder an unarmed mau, I can do ' shqoKliiS^headj--andSkia*''^*Benryoa'^-;have-; brihgmorfl-^^ .¦¦~: .zi v.- lyr'ti'j i,"mi- ^ % SfcENia ffiiliEXt^litlfe^r-S erful late'} heireckonedutabtJat'ctime for'iiim to" be Eanzas. -He killed'off thVoid rizoi' 'tinters^ to "be a'travellin':'*-i-5r«(jerton^- It^ar'-in*] thsthadb4an;hrecl:^po9 the ancient'farai^ ^"¦"•'"- ' ^ * ' :.'; .V ! f^m tiin0iiiYmuQni0jjali4ind'!b»uali^sixim* •.•;.-.d' I was on a trip in tlie;cara-,lately and found mj&elf npon a Beat.-nithAgQntlemanlj.-.nisn-i advanced- ih years,' to whom '(aff I h6ndr 'Sid agj) I endeavored to ipiilja 'tnyself ag^'jIaWeV en route. . , _ .. .. , t .^ After the'interohaiige: of a few >oonnnohr .M Vi troved Snffofii—inati^;offtTiif, ^il«,aliga-^ GRAinDFATHKl'S OiaJ-Ea!Bi3!Iv"''i torathat had.^Mtrijftwly been.jaannally tolr .

" But, Mr. Chowler," added the lieutenant, as he laid down the weapon .and turned to resume hia seat, " I shall not.drink with you or any other man upon compulsion." it is reported that Mr. Pine Knot Choi^ler gathered himself up, stared first' at the pis¬ tol, and theu at the "stranger," who Bad now returned to his low chair by the atov». where he sat, to all appearances, as if utterly unconscious of the existence of Buch a being as his later antagonist, in the world. Hr the subject pf agrictiltare,_ tl^e old aiid new. modes of fanning, &c., I subsequently ascer¬ tained that my venerable acquaintance was a most intelligent farmer, who had: retired *in his old age upon a" cbiflifetency-. Aa .we dashed along in the cars^lie. entertained tile with the substance of the follon;ingjiarrativey the 'details of .which ha/ assured me bad transpired within his knolwledge. . Speaking pf the,exciting progress, and im¬ provements in agriculture, said he, reminds. me of au instancetthat occurred<;^thin my Hiuembrance, wliich I will relate ttr^ui ff! you are disposed to hear it. I thanked] hi^j] iandlie proceeded as. follp^;:.- ¦ ' ,.-;rt '-^5, Some forty years or more ago, a neighbor of mine in C:, a Mr. Smith occupied an" "ird- mense tract of land, which he called a.* farm,'- It waa about thirty rodt; in width, and^rip-r; \7ards of two miles in length ; upon which' htf' had. been brought up a " farmer,'*" and wh'er^-^ his father and grandfather jUad lived before 'him. ,4 . . . Each generation of the Smiths that had dwelt upon this strip of land, had contrived to farm it, each in the same old way, year iu and year oUt, from father to son. The place had never known a dollars incumbrance'. scores pf Smith's had been reared upon it, generation after generation came and passed away-there, and the same cart paths, and' the aaine dilapidated walls and shanties and' decayed trees Tyere still visible—almost the same farrow had been turned for a hundred years and more; "when, as it"'had'be'en the custom of thp Smith families oh previous occasions, it finally came the turn of. the oc^ 'cupant to resign grandfather's old.place to Ills only son, Ben Smith, now come to-tliirty. For fivo and thirty year-s at least Beh'3 father had carried on .his farm.. In all. tlmt long period, and regular as .the year, rolled round, as regular liad Mr. Smith plowed itp his eight acres, mowed all tho grass that Providence would grow for him, pastured his ten sheep, reared his four head of battlei fattened his three hogs, and wintered as many cows. .But this was uot all. True Mr. Smith had a groat farm. He toiled like a trooper, from daylight till dark. He raised his own poVk and corn, auch as it was. his cattio and fodder ; from his own for-, est the Wood he burned ; never owed any man a farthing. He contrived even to pay his own towu and couuty tax. But ho was lit¬ erally " even with the world," for he owed no oue, and no one owed him a dollar. And so lie lived up to seventy. "Ben," said-the old man to his son, one evening, aa they sat before the fire," I am getting old. I have workedpooty hard here, for a godd mahy years, and I have concluded to give it up. it is your turn now." "My turn for what?" asked Ben. "Totake cbarge of the farm, Ben. You are young, stout and healthy. I am going to give up the homestead to you; aud.if you continue to labor constantly as I've dono and your grandfather did before us—^ybu can get a good Hvin' off on't as we have done.—: "We can't take nothing out of'this world with; us, Ben. Naked we came into it-and ao we must go out. But the old place is free from incumbrance, there never was'a"" dollar mort¬ gage on it, and I hope there ueverjTjiH be. I shall give you the farln frfe'e and''Ole'ar to¬ morrow." Ben slept on this, andthe next day lie was master of the farm thirty rods wide and. two and a half miles long. • "I shall take'the place, father," ho said, " and carry it on; but not as you aud grand¬ father, and his father did." 'And though th"e old gentleman shook hi^ head and looked earnestly over the bHdge of his spectacles a.t.his son,-BQn was. as good as' his word; forthwith he went to work in'ear; nest. -" Spring came. Bon went into the old eight acre field audi ploughed up the one half of it* Upon this he had deposited the whole of the season's manure, that hitherto for years had been sparsely spread upon double the sar face. He harrowed these four acres, andhar- rowed thom well. Hoeing time came arid Ban had only.one half the space to go over.. Though the com and potatoes looked finely, arid the beets, ithe .'cabbages, and carrots grew" marvellously, aiid the bid man grew crusty, and declared it wouldn't do, tliere wotildii't be roots enough. Put Beu went right along his own way. At the second hoeing Beu went into his four acres ; hut' uot with a hand hoO. " He got some sort o( a jimcrack, (as the q!ld man termed it,) hitched to-the old .mare's heelsf instead of hoeingTiis potatoes mah fashion.' he'd begun with his improvements; but that cultivator, as^Beu called it, "wouldn't work nohow." i Ben continued to-use tho cultivator^ how¬ ever; the old gentleman continued to grum¬ ble, and the com and -potatoes continued to flourish. Ben Smith had gone over to a neighboring towu early m the spriug and rnn in debt (Beu was the first Smith that ever did this thing)_ for t*o hundred, bushels of " nasty ashes," which he tugged the cattle to draw to tho farm, and wilh which he top dressed tbe-meadow..' Hore was an innovaition sure. And he had subscribed for a paper too ; what with his jimti'rack of .a " cultivator" his a,shes and "book .farming," the^, old gentleman nearly'crazed, .'lit would never do to go on 'at this rate,'* said the old'gentleman. But theiour acres of com and potatdes'and vegetables s^ill grey fiijoly. Never had the Smiths seen .such corn, such' potatoes and carrots. e < • ¦''. ',; The grass came up thick and-strong and thriCty, aud the harvest time came round at last. The cattle-had plenty of good feed, and they were fat" and sleek, the pigs were fat, the poultry wa*s fat, the old horse was fat aud- Ben grew fat and jolly as ho garnered his com, his "big potatoes; his generous -sized beet.^, and his great big yellow carrots. Ben had foupd time during his^ evenings to read the agricultural articles in his paper; and to- post himself in regard to tbe markets." Winter came; aud the good old father enter¬ ed the barn. .It was crammed with hay^and cornstalks aud wheat and rye. Tho granary was loaded with corn ; and Ben who had been' carefully taught to shell the cobs across the edge of. a shovel, now stood beside another .stupid .machine^ throwing in a bushel of eara at the top whilst the big golden kernels raah- e'd' but in a coiistarit shower at the bottom.— Ben.Smith had " squandered""six doUars in oash "upon a com shillor! " What is. the silly to the infernal machines that ''Ben, jr.', clut tered up the. ojd place with^ - ¦ . ¦ Ben had been iio -idler meantiine.' ' He had ¦ drawn into the cow yard two Iiandre,d loads; of pond muck the previous fall. He got plas-.. ter and''crashed bones and mixed with it, and' when Febuaiy came, it waa heaped ouL-gen¬ erously ai|>on the four acres againV -Eveiy thing went on smilingly, and at harvest time' the cap sheaf of machinery arrived. ^ " What on earth is tliat,?" asked^ {he old g$nUeiuen,-a8^u put his team..,))efore a new Ibl^rseTrake. Ben laughed outright, and ask<^, ^d of-liis respected progeuifo^'^'w^lr'bj8';did: npt.;Tead^4beh':pap9ra-i-"Btlt;^,hii fether-.f.pifid.: " he feiew enough ali'eS'dy:"^ '' "'l' ^''''L' '',- Again the old' .barns crealcei 'under thielr 'generous harvest of hay and grain and'vege- lf^bles,.'and again the old man looked and isighed, aud.declared that the season Jiad been remarkable, very. Ben had't room to sVore away two-thirds of th'e -year's produce. But jiis.ihay was excellent; hispbtatoes'were noble ones; hia carrots, beefs, and.qnipns ^were splendid ; he had'ariiplus ruta bagas-^by the cords, and turiyps arid squashes and cabages by the ton, all of which readily found a' good market, seven miles distant. Nobody believed, at first Ihat these flue products teally came from Smith's farm. When *the snow and sleet "rattled aronnd that ancient -manalou that winter, Ben owed no man a "dollar ;"liia barn and celiarsw.ere well filled, and he had throe' hundred dollars in cash on liiriet!'^ Here waff^a-fortune. • " Verily, Ben"," said his pareiit,"'.' you have beeu very lucky andthe seaaona have, been favorable."

Before him was a little roand table, on whose marble top was "not a little" pitcher of smoking purich, "schreechen hot," and a wine glass; .-The solitary individual was York—nothin' else, dear child—and that fras his second pitcher full—nfghhis second emp¬ ty. One minute after, and you, couldn't— fact you see—have squeezed a drop out of either the pitcher or glass, by a forty-two pounder hydraulic press. York" rang-the bell. The waiter popped •liis head io. the door* "Ring, sa?"- " Of course I did. Is it clearing off?" "No sa—damp, sa~fog so thick, sa, you oould ladle it ont 'th a spoon, sa. Have any¬ thing, sa ?" "Moore punch, and strong." " Yes, sa—^immediately sa." , Tho waiter withdrew, and in a few seconds .returned with a third pitcher of punch, and York was beginning to feel glorious, when on raising up hia eyes, he saw hia own fig¬ ure in a pier glass,, directly opposite. He rubbed his eyes again. " By thunder!" said ho, " here's some fel¬ low fitting right before me ; I'll swear there's impudence for you ! This is a private room, for my sole accommodation." Uo waited a minute, expecting an answer, hut his refiection only stared at him and held itgpeaco:- *.* I was saying" air, that this is my private room—m'ine, air! csiod York, fetching Ins -voice an;octave higher.tlmn it was before.— No answ&r w.*ismade,'and he rang' the beir furiously.

" Bvou tho wiaeat occasionally forget'themselves and aot rash¬ ly. It is impossible to be ev«r watchful, ev¬ er vigilant, ever thoughtfal, conilderate and prudent. A word fitly spoken has a magio and a charm that.at once soothe and concili¬ ate. But a word tmfitly spoken,.especially if harsh, sharp, or Irritating, will sometime* iri- Uictawound that cannot be'-wholly healed for years. The errors of haste are coffhtless, and theyare committed daiiy'.and hourly. AU are moro or less forgetful in this respect. The impulsive are especiallyfso. They act first and think afterwards; aud npt unfre- (juently the after thought is full of bitter¬ ness, regret and self-reptoaoh,. The diifioul- Xy, then, ia to make amendment or repara¬ tion. Duty recommends a frank, manly and straight-forward course—au explanation or :an aj)ology. But false pride counsels equivo¬ cation, prevarication, or adherence to the error, and if this advice be taken, as it too often is, the consequences are always pain¬ ful. It 'is, moreover, such au easy thing to atone for an uuintentioual misstep, a false impression or a hasty remark, that the sur¬ prise is, that any neglect or avoid the dis¬ charge of so solemn a duty. How, many friendships have been brokon, how many fond ties have beeu severed, how'iriauy hearts have been lacerated throngh errors of haste and, indiscretion! The thoughtless and the reckless are couatantly committing blunders of this description. They talk." at random, without reflection, consideration or feelingi and are ever and anon surprised, when they discpyer^.Uvat tUeyhaj^ .trencbSct'tin forbid_ den ground. Nay, it often happen^ they nev¬ er discover their error.' The injury is re¬ ceived in silence, but it is riot lorgptteu. At times, too, their explanations only make the matter worse, becanso out of place/or in bad taste. . And, again, they persist In a mlsrepr reseritation or an insult, and thus;.they are either, treated with contempt, as^'vile "and base, or they are punished in some suitable manner.. With the young and inexperiftriced, errors of haste are of course natural,aridsoine allowance should be made. They proceed- from a Tf ant of judgment, ignorance of the world, and impetuosity of disposition. But even under such circumstances, the true pol-' icy of the frank and the manly, is to explain fully and generously at the first opportunity. Accounts of this kind should never be left unsettled. Better arrange them at once, and in the right spirit,lhan permit an accnmula- tiou of interest, and thus an iriorease of the indebtedness. There are some persons, we are aware,- who fancy that there is dishonor or indignity in making an apology, even when they have unwittingly. done wrong. This, as it strikes us, is a sad mistake, not only of judgment,'but of morale. All are mortals, and all are, therefore, liable to com-" mit iudiacretions, and indalge in infirmities.- But the error ahould be corrected as speedily as possible, and thus the sin purged from tlie conscience. He is indeed blind, perverse and bigoted, who does wrong, and theu persists in it because he fancies that there would be humiliation in acknowledging and^ taking baok the.offence.r We fully agree wiUi an ancient philosopher,^who contended that,.af¬ ter the man who never had sinned, he should be held In the highest esteem who was the readiest to apologize, ou being satisfied that he had committed an oITence. If this doc¬ trine were generally received and acted upon, mankind would get alovg much more smooth¬ ly, quietly aud happUy. The quick iu tem¬ per, the fiery of blood, and the impatient of spirit, are constantly coriimitting*-errors of iiaate. Moat of these, hQwevetj are quite aa ready to make . an a'tonemeivt, and it ia well tbat it is so." Tliey are-known, their infirmi¬ ty is recognized, and thus all allowance ia made for their inconsiderate conduct and ex¬ pressions. They are precipitate by nature, and to some'extent they cannot help-them- selves. But if they, are tli^ first to say a Jiarsh thing, they are also the first 'to recall it; and thus the error is speedily repaired.' And this Is the true policy. It-should be universally inculcated and practised. Let ua endeavor to-do unto others aa, wo would they ¦hould-do untous. And surely, let ua not perpetrate tlie folly,'"nay, the outrage of com*- mitliug a wcong, and then add insult to inju¬ ry by adhering to the act of injustice from obstinacy-or falao pride. There is, we re. peatj scarcely an individual alive who has attained to years of reflection, who has not committed errors of haste. Nay, there are few who'cannot recaH many with mortifica¬ tion and fegret. We either perpetrate them, or we see them perpetrated every day. ' In- diacretion-to.aome extent, is an almoat uni¬ versal failing. And while tliisia conceded, while ^e feel that we cannot hava constant watch and guard over our minds, our pas¬ sions and our tongues, let us at least be ready' to make am^draeut, generous and ample, at the very first opportunity. There is-.nothing mean or unmanly in such a courser but on the contrary, it is right,-high-minded, becpmingj'and honorable. The sensible raan of business reviews hia pecuniary .accjunta daily. Why then ahould we no(, in the aame spirit of prudence aud integrity, and. at the first aeasonable moment, consider aild adjust all violations of taste, courtesy, morals and propriety ? • stood aikiiig^^ermis^n To sit beside' iri*eJ WTtti'&orS^ pity'^^Sfa'of pleasured shared my'aeay^yj^ier, yjWit&Jfee but few words, ^^J^^j^wB-'^^^^^S?^*^^^ restlesa^little pr^^TpjQ^Mg iter pou jreuied arms^ lint f-mon^ fB^gillifidJl^-^Bllowhair.^and ita paleibal»^chej^, and-^aaid^i^ux ::w*s a.ggpd aiidiW0JBt;n«ft«c ..„:.v:, vV For my own oomfort I had opened ihe.winr' dftf ,^.iatjLp[S^t,mpre4iatlnotly uatohthose tidaivas^draWiMto myuftoipi^ipn^^^hq -^^^ inooftsantly flonching. -,o - '¦-.^ Ici^vi aajii^edytojp^ess Jt now, ,but Tfeltr th&-«Pgry;blppdbprn^^nmy-ph^ek, andaftaah" oftheeyflSJaSiJrepliei'C ,.- .. ; «I'amquite.slok,and weariedj aJid troubledt, and 1iarigiy,,iand-thirsty,r and orpW'iQ'i, and here-you come as an intruder, and,keep m& frbin thfe'mit»t'-oC"'Cool'-fresh air that I was: {i^iug \o gSt. Do you think you are doing (il. you'wotild'be done by?" said I,tamy»' arid* witho^t'waiting'for'a'reply, I rose, and was letting down tha window witj}. ari ap^n^ crash,.aa a naughty child" would alam a'dobr to shut it, when she' laid'her poor wftsted lit¬ tle hand on my arm,-, and saU,: " Oh, don't do-itthen;''.and burst into tears and leaned. her head down .on her Baby and wept bitterly.. ?

"W. L. PEIPER,Ca.---hler. may 7 . ."Jt-il LL liOTICE. persons are Iierehy notified .- A PuYBio.LOGicAL CuiiiosiTr.—The doctors in New York have beon experimenting upon the. Canadian, St; Martin, who recently ar¬ rived, in that - city, and whose digestive or¬ gans are exposed to ohservation in conse¬ quence of the refusal of-a gun-shot wound in his stomach to heal over. The experiments of Dr. Beaumont with this individual are already celebrated. On Saturday afternoon a meeting of several eminent physicians was held for the purpose of seeing this celebrated personage, and-witnessing some experiments^ The Evening Post says : "The firat Experiment performed was that of introduoing the thermoideter into the stomach, through the opening," from which its temperature was ascertained to be 101 Farenheit. Dr. Bunting next introduced into the stomach the . gum elastic catheter, and extracted nearly an ounce and a half of ¦gastric juice, whioh was presented to Dr. G-riicom, and examined by him and others, as to its Haste and othbr vproparties. The third, experiment consisted in causing-tho ¦patient to drinli two tumblers of water^ which was immediately afterwards poured out through the orifice into a basin held by Dr. Bunting. The experiments being conclu¬ ded, various questions were propounded to Dr. Bunting in regard to the time consumed in the digestion of various foods. In reply, he observed ¦ that the carrot wjould consume between five^and six honrs, while rare roast beof would thoroughly digest in- an hour and a half. Melted bntter would not digest at all, but float about in 'the stomach. Lobster was comparatively easy of digestion. Upon the application of the gastric juice to apiece of purple tiiaue paper, the color at once faded. In relation .to the patient's health. Dr. Bunting observed that it had' been uni¬ formly excellent, having, since his recovery from the firsj effects of the wound, suppor¬ ted a large family by his daily labor. The espwriments do not differ materially from those made by Dr. Beaumont." Mrt'St. Martin is at present a little upwards of fifty years of-age, of a spare frame, but apparently capable of considerable endurance. Ha ifl in excellent bodily health, and has much vivacity of manner. The opening in the stomach has had no injurious effect upon his health, nor has it prevented him from pursuing active and severe labors. It is ne¬ cessary for him, however, always to main¬ tain a compression againsj, thQ orifice, while eating or drinking, to prevent the contents of the stomach from passing out through t. He is now onh5s way to Europe under the auspices of Dr. Bunting of Montreal. A ^ - .L\, agitmtJ uegotlatlug b note drawn by Cathliri _ Eckert in favor of 31.1).
