No objection was made for a while, and the arm gradually relieved the side of the car- riage of the pressure upon it. But of a sud- den; whether from alate recognition of the impropriety of the thing, or the sight of ano- ther beau coming, never was clearly evident, the ante started with volcanic energy, and with a fiashing eye, exclaimed: ‘Mr. —,I can support myself !’’ ‘Capital!’ was the in- stant reply, ‘* you are just the girl I’ve been looking for these five years—will you marry me?” Newanx Par Fire Departwext.—The an- nual report of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department of Newark, N. J.. furnishes a thorough and substantial proof of the wisdom of abolishing the yolunteer system and substi- tuting the paid department. The reorganiza- tion was at first opposed upon ‘the ground of the entire incflicieney of the new system, and from prejudices created in a great by those who were unworthy of belonging to any organization; but asits — seen it gradually drew into it the great body of efficient firemen who had constitu! strength of the old department. So successful has been its operation, not only in extinguish- ing fires, but, what is far better, in prevent- care, — it is to sok siren there can- not found any number of intelligent men who would ask for ac = Losses or raz Frexcn aru Ix THe CAIMEA.

Th natur Politeness of the French towards the fair sex and their innate love for the amusement in which the officers and their fair friends wero engaged, mado them loth to disturb them Our artillerymen, however, thought that it would be just as well to remiud them that ® permission from the French for their fete sus- pended any authorization from Count-Sacken, or from the Emperor Alexander himself. and in order to do so s shell was put in « mortar, and aimed with such precision that it feil just in front of the house. No other was fired ‘and for the remainder of the day the party enjoyed themselves to their full bent. In the evening, however, the champagne began to produce its natural effect, and the music kept up such tap- age that no one could sleep. It was necessa- ry to put an end to the disturbance, and ano- ther iron messenger was placed in a mortar, and careful aim being taken, was dropped just in the middle of the grass plot. The warning Was enough, as the party right and left. No _ ane oe as they - clearly wo would no longer be anno: their noise, the party broke up. sintipand ; TE “ Those aro astonish’ ardent admirer of the Partington, at the cireus tonishing feats !"’ ‘ing ” said an of the to Mrs. last evoning—* as- “* Yes,” said the old lady, ‘‘so they are astonishing feet, and consider- able legs, too, to judge at this distance.” She looked at Ike, who sat by the curb watching the clown with his eyes full of wonder, and his hands fall of aes and she reached over to his honor the mayor and asked him if he thought ‘the revolting by the whole trow would have a dilatorous tenderness on the boy.’ Ile assured her with great urbanity that he did not think it would. “Ah!” said she, asshe handed her snuff-box to Lee, at the door, “* this riding is different from what it was in the country, when I was « girl, when wo had to ride double on a pillory. But what agility they show! It seems as if they wero set upon springs like a patent feather bed, and that every bone in ‘em was made of whale- bone." She stood looking at the horseman- ehip, and pronounced it the best sequestering rformance she had ever seen. soid that Mr. Stout beat Herulaneum himself for strength, and that the whoie was worthy of the highest paragoric. ——-_++__ Rg-ASSEMBLING OF THE BOXAPARTR FAMILY —Tue American Boxaranres.—The Inde- pendent Belge says: ‘-Nearly all the branches of the Bonaparte family will in a very short time be assembled in Paris, round the Eupe- ror Napoleon, who desires that the several persons bearing his name should form. as it were, a fatsccau near him. Last year, it will be remembered, the son of Prince Jerome. by his first marriage with Miss Patterson, of Bai- timore, aud also the son of that gentleman, came to Paris on the invitation of his Majosty. returned to America, to The father afterwards fetch another younger son, and both are ex- pected soon in Paris, to take up their perma- nent residence. M. Patterson, Bonaparte’s son, 2 fine handsome yor man of twenty-five, formerly an officer in the ican army, was placed by the Emperor in the French army, and seut to the Crimea to join the dragoons. He has evinced great talent aud admirable courage whilst serving under oue of the best Ferenc Pere of cavalry, to whom he is or- derly officer, He and his father have boen admitted as princes of the civil family.”’ Tiwx.—It waits for no man—it travels on- ward with an even, uninterrupted, inexorable step, without accommodating itself to the de- lays of mortals. The restless hours pursue their course—moments press after moments— day treads upon day—year rolls after year. Dves man loiter? procrastinate? Is he list- less or indolent? Behold the daya, and months ars, unmindful of his delay, are never sluggish bat merch forward in silent and sol. emn procession. Our labors and toils, our ideas and feelings, may be suspended by sleep—darkness, and silence, and death may reign around us, but time rests not—slumbers uever, but preeses along and knows no stop~ pages. e may dam up mighty rivers, stop them in journeying to the ocean—press them back to their source ; but the arrest of time is beyond the power of any human being besides Ominipotence. The clock may cease to strike, the bell to toll; the sun may cease to shine, the moon to stand still; but the busy heurs pee on. The months and years must move or over forward. Hornietx Revexee.—Dr. Radcliff, who was found of the pleasures of the table, wag one afternoon comfortably disposing of 3 bot- tle of wine, when a countryman entered the room, and begged him to come immediately to his wife who was dying. “I can’t help yes: 1B fellow, I can’t come till I have finished my bottle.” Now it happened that the countryman was a large strong man, and the doctora very siaall one; so it occurred to the former that his best plan was to seize the doctor, and carry him off on his shoulders. He did so; and while he was bearing him along, the doctor, bursting with rage, exclaimed: t “You villain, J’l/cure your wife!’ and he was as good as his word. $9 To-Morrow Morsixc’s Rervecrioxs —The name of the architect who builds most of the castles in the air is ‘* To-Morrow,”’ and Hopo lays the foundation. ¢ Pride that holds its head too high rare- ly picks up anything; whereas, Modesty, like = iver, gathers pearls by keeping its head iow Blows and cuts are felt more keenly after a dispute, in the same way that wounds hurt o great deal more when the battle is over. A man pauses, hesitates, and requires time to study a woman, while a woman will read you a dozen men at first sight. Eneuise Tacirvrxity.—The Liverpool (England) Times says:—“Coming from Man- chester, a few days since, we stopped fora mo- ment ortwo at Newton. Our Opposite com- anion in the railway carriage being a stolid Selim Bull, evidently one of the ‘agricultural mind,’ recognized op the platform a friend, and between the two the following conversa- tion took place, neither moving @ muscle of his countenance:—‘Fine day?’ ‘Very fine day.’ ‘Rather warm?’ ‘Yes; rather warm.’ The gentleman on the platform was moving off, when he suddenly stopped short and said, ‘Wart rain, though?” To which our traveling ‘companion |. idly replied, ‘Yes, want rain. ie never § another word again all the way to Liverpool. Scretca, Opgration ror Crovr.—aA few days since, the of trachestomy, or opening the windpipe and inserting a silver tube, was performed on a little boy between four and five years old, the only son of Enoch H. Wakefield, of Chelsea. The child was in the last stages of croup, and in the operation a inches in
