E JESTER'S SERMON.
BY O. W. TH0RXBURY.
The Jester shook hi* hood and bells, and
leaped upon a chair.
The pages laughed, the women screamed, and
tossed their scented hair,
The'falcon whistled, stag-hounds bayed, the
lap-dog barked without.
The scullion dropped the pitcher brown, the
cook railed at the lout!
The steward, counting out his gold, let pouch
and money fall,
And why because the Jester rose to say
grace in the hall!
The page played with the heron's plume,
the steward with his chain,
The butler drummed upon the board, and
laughed with might and main
The grooms beat on their metal cans, and
roared till they were red.
But still the Jester shut his cyee, and rolled
his witty head
And when they grew a little still, read half
a yard of text,
And waving hand, struck on the desk, then
frowned like one perplexed.
Dear sinners all," the fool began, "man's
life is but a jest,
A dream, a shadow, bubble, air, a vapour at
the best.
In a thousand pounds of law I find not a
single ounce of love
A blind man killed the parson's cow in
shooting at the dove
The fool that eats till he is sick must fast
till he is well
The wooer who'can flatter most will bear
away the bell.
Let no man haloo he is safe till he is thro'
the wood
fie who will not when ho may, must tarry
when he should.
He who laughs at crooked men should need
walk very straight
O he who once has won a name may lie
a-bed till eight.
Make haste to purchase house and land, be
very slow to wed
True coral needs no piiliter's brush, nor
need be daubed with red.
The friar, preaching, cursed the thief (the
puddling in his sleeve).
To fish for sprats with golden hooks is fool
ish, by j-our leave—
To travel well—an ass's ears, ape's face, hog's
mouth, and ostrich legs,
lie does not care a pin for thieves who limps
ab ut and begs.
Be always first man at a feast and last man
at a fray
The short way round, in spite of all, is still
the Ion est way.
When the hungry curate licks the knife
there's not much for the clerk
Whin the pilot, turning pale and sich, looks
up—the storm grows dark."
Then loud they laughed, the fat cook's tears
ran down into the pan
The steward shook, that he was forced to
drop the brimming can
And then again the women screamed, and
every stag-hound bayed—
And why because the motley fool so wise
a sermon nude

A daughter!
Well what brought her?
Kitty asks—"how came she here?"
Half with joy and half with fear.
Kitty is our oldest child,
Eight years old, and rather wild—
Wild in manner, but in mind,
Wishing all things well defined.
Kitty says, "How came she here,
Father? Tell mo. It's so queer.
Yesterday wo had no sister,
Else I'm sure I should have missed her
When I went to bed last night
And this morning hailed her sight
With a strange and new delight.
For indeed it passes all,
To have a sister not so tall
As my doll aud with blue eyes
And—1 do declare—it cries!
Last night I didr.'t see her, Cither
Or, sure, 1 had much rather
Stayed at home, as still as a mouse,
Than played all day at grandma's house.
She is so pretty and so tiny
And what makes her face so shiny?
Will it always be like that?
Will she swell up plump and fat,
Like my little doll or tall
Like my wax one? Tell mo all—
All about her, papa, dear,
For I do so long to hear
Where she came from and what brought

And the question is, what brought her?

And pouting feels his noses point,
When I declare 'tis out of joint.

RED WING, M. T., SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1857.
I HI S FAMILY.**
A man falls into embarrassments which ul
timately overwhelm him in bankruptcy, or
drive him into roguery and crime. He was
yesterday respected, 'influential, and suppo
sed to be affluent and his family wem treated
and treated themselves accordingly but to
day he is disgraced and steored clear of—
without resources or prospects—very likely
in prison, and exposed to ignonimous pun
ishment. "Vile wretchi" say the million
"It is good enough for him, but wa must pity
his poor family."
Certainly we must pity them—pity all
who suffer—still more all who sin and must
suiter. They need pity, and there is no dan
ger that we shall pity them too much.—
But the impression conveyed of the inno
cence of the fallen man's family, and their un
merited exposure to want and ignominy, is
oAen very far from the truth.
In fact, half the men who are loathed as
dragging down their families to shame and
destitution, are really themselves dragged
down by those families—driven to bankrupt
cy, shame, and crime by the thoughtless and
the basely selfish extravagance of wife and
children. Let a man be in the way of re
ceiving considerable money and having prop
erty in his hands, and his" family can rarely
be made to comprehend and realize that
there is any limit to his ability to give and
spend. Fine dresses and ornaments for wife
ard daughters spending money, patent
leather and broadcloth for hopeful sons—and
richer furniture and more of it all the time—
these are a few of the blind drains on "the
Governor's," means which are perpetually in
actio n. Oh, what's a hundred dollars to a
man doing such a business?" is the question
in case of any demur or remonstrance on his
part. Not one of them could bear to disgrace
him by earning a dollar they could'nt go
out shabbily dressed for fear his credit would
suffer: They can't see how a man who can
discount in bank, need ever be short of monev
or stingy in using it. All his talk of difficul
ties or hard times they regard as customary
fables, intended to iscVimp their drafts on his
purse, or enhance their sense of his generos
Uy.
In vain he remonstrates—implores—puts
down his foot. He cannot be eternally con
tending with those lie loves best—he" wants
quiet at home, in order to mature his plans
and perfect his operations. If he resists im
portunity, the tears come, and what man can
stand the April showers of feminine sorrow?
lie gives way at last, and throws the money
demanded, hoping that some great news by
the next steamship, some turn of luck in hfs
business, will make it up to him. Perhaps it
does and he floats on perhaps it don't, and
the last feather has broken the elephant's
back. Thecna, however near or distant, is
morally certain. Treated always as a mine

AigJaiAXD WITH OXE INHABITANT.—St.
Paul was. net uninhabited at the period .of
our visit, which was made for the purpose
of correcting our chronomotcrs. W found
a solitary individual roaming about upon its
lonely beach. He had been there two years!
—two years npon a barren island 2,000* miles
away from any civilized community. Ho had,
however, managed to survive, and was so
pleased with his island that he positively re
fused to leave htvjungular home, where we
left htm when departure. lie
had been left there two years previously by
a whaktr to catch seals, the captain having
promised to call for him on his return to
Ynieriw, while he in the meantime, with
his ship, departed to a distant sea, for the
randef purpose of killing whales. When
first left upon St. Paul's he had a compan
ion, and they lived together pretty amicably
for son* time. But one of them, it seems,
was a desperate character indeed, our Rob
inson Crusoe was one of the most ruffianly
looking fellows imaginable. His story was,
that he suspected his companion intended se
cretly to murder him, and by that means ob
tain a double share of the produce of the
seal skins they had collected and drfcd
Dead men tell no tales," sa:d our friend,
and of course it was easy to tell the cap
tain wh£n he called that he died from natu

his companion becoming daily

in silence. They, however, lived in mutual

into sir and sequestered nooks to sleep. It
would have been dangerous for the one that
was caught sleeping our solitary said,

such circu-astances, life at length became un

E N E A A N E
In personal appearance Gen. Harney is
impressive. He is considerably over six feet
tall, and is large boned and muscular. His
hair is red, but is now thickly mixed with
white. He wears it short and begins to look
bald on the crown of his head. His mous
taches and beard are nearly white, and are
also tick and clipped short. His eyes arc
blue and dull, for he uses spectacles. In
younger years he must have been a model of
physical strength and vigor, but he now
looks older than he really is for his age, I
believe, does not exceed fifty-five,
While in St. Louis I heard an anecdote of
his character which I have never seen in
print. Being in New York many years ago,
he passed a store in of the principal streets
in which an auctioneer was soliciting bids
for an engraving of General Jackson. Both
the seller and the. crowd were no political
friends of the subject of the picture, and
were ridiculing it in every possible manner,
How much am I offered for the great
hero of New Orleans?" cried the man at the
stand.
"Only a half a cant."
Why, he's worth a cent, surely, after
robbing the Bank. Make it a cent, wont
you gentlemen? Now then, how much am
I offered?"
One hundred dollars." said a voice, very
emphatically, as Colonel Harney entered the
door "one hundred dollars, sir," he repeat
ed, making his way through the crowd, half
a head taller than any other man in the
room.
The auctioneer, naturally astonished, in
quired if the man was in earnest, and started
again on his witticisms.
"Sir, I am in earnest, and I claim my bide
interrupted the colonel "and if no one bids
more,-1 claim the picture."
No one bidding more, he handed the man
the money and his addresss.
"And now, sir," he remarked, seizing him
by the collar, and dragging him to the floor,
"I claim the privilege of applying the basti
nado to your body for your damnable im
pertinence."
And having caned him to his satisfaction,
no one in the crowd venturing to interfere,
he strode out of the store, and continued to
walk down the s-reet.
Analyze the quality of character necessary
for man to be an actor in such a scene, and
I think you will discover the trait* which
military men consider to fit Gen. Harney
eminently as the leader of this Utah expe
dition.
Fish With a Silver Hook
Dr. Franklin, observing one day a hearty
young fellow, whom he knew to be an ex
traordinary blacksmith, sitting on the wharf,
bobbing for mud cats and eels, called out to
him—
"Ah, Tom, what a pity it is you dot.t
fish with a silver hook."
The young man replied ho was not able
to fish with a ilvcr hook."
Some days after this, the Doctor passed
that way again, and saw Tom out at the end
of tho wharf again with his long pole bend
ing ever the flocd.
What Tom," cried the Doctor, "have
you not got the silver hook yet?"
God bless you Doctor," cried the black
smith, I'm hardly able to fish-with an iron
hook'
"Poh, poh," replied the Doctor, "go home
to your anvil, and you will make silver
chough in one day to buy more and better
fish than you could catch here in a month.
There arc many others besides that bhek

HCDSOS BAY QUESTION.—Tho committee
appointed by the British Parliament, to en
quire into the expediency of extending the
exclusive control ol the immense expanse of
of American territory, lying to the north of
Cinada, have acted upon the theory, says
the N Y. Times that the British Sovereign
and people havo.no interest in the region now
administered by the Husdon's Bay Compa
ny except that it should ba dealt with in the
manner most condusive to the "prosperity
and contentment of tho North American
Colonics. Acting then on the Democratic
principle, and believing that the Red River
and Saskashcwan counties are those which
wiii be desired by Canada for early occupa
tion, the committee reccommended the im
mediate annexation of these districts to the
province, and the extension of its boundaries
in all other directions where any useful pur
pose can be obtained.
Over this Territory the Hudson's Bay
Company's jurisdiction will of course cease
directly the annexation is declared, and the
termination of the Company's connection

E A HEROISM
On the 25th of February last, tho waters
that wash tho solitary island of Ttistan d'
in tho South. Atlantic Ocean witnessed a
remarkable sight. N that marine, disas
ters are few for scarcely a week elapses that
does not present its tale of horrors befalling
thoso that go down to the sea in ships.—
What is rare is an instance of the preserva
tion of human life, by the effects of discipline
and presence of mind. Most gratefully do
we put on record.
At the date, and in the locality above
mentioned, the ship Joseph Somers, of Lon
don, with cargo and passengers for Melbourne
was voyaging towards that port. She had
on board an immense quantity of spirits, and
eighteen tons of gunpowder, packed in 250
barrels. The Captain had been on shore,
several miles distant, to make arrangements
for filling up his water casks on the morrow,
when on nearing his ship flames burst out
from her, and the fearful cry of "fire!" reach
ed him. Urging his rowers on to the utmost
he was soon on board and perceiving at once
that all efforts to save the ship would be un
availing, he contrived by the exercise of that
combined judgement and authority which
mark the perfect seaman, to embark, in due
order, all the passengers and crew in tho
boats. The women and children were cf
course first handed in—The captain being
the last man to leave: the burning dock. Af
ter snndry dangerous adventures, they landed
on the island all safe and after a few days
detention were received, on board a passing
vessel bound to Kurrachee, which put them
on shore at the Cape ot Good Hopo. Their
relief was altogether unexpected.

This Captain's name was Elmston, and he
seems to have done his duty well. All honor
to him but we would not overlook the real
heroism of his chief officer Mr. Stokes, who
was in command when the fire first broke
out. W have already mentioned the large
quantity ef powder stowed away. Mr.
Stokes' first care, on finding that tho flames
were beyond control Was to heave this over
board—a ticklish article to handle at such a
moment. But he succeeded in doing it.—
The crew behaved well, tho male pascngcrs
aided zealously, tho women—always more
heroic than men—were calm. Tho'suspense
may weil have been described by an eye wit
ness as "agonizing," for he states that be
fore the whole was got-up and pitched into
the sea, he lower tier of barrels tiecamchot,
almost too hot to hold. "But." he continues
"the weaker sex never lost their presence of
mind not a scream was heard from any one
Curious story afloat.—Robert Schuyler
reported to be alive.
Mrs. Robert Schuyler, (widow,) better
known as Mrs. Spicer, the widow of the cel
ebratedfinancier,has erected a castellated
cottage on SaratogaLake,about half a mile
from that great place of resort—the Lake
House—where "all the world" go to drive,
or to diuo on the "famous fried potatoes."
Mrs. Schuyler having planted a mansion of
some pretensions neara resort so fashionable
all the tourists of the United States, will
of course, drive to take a look at her—and
for sixty to ninety days in the year she
must expect people to be almost looking in
to her windows.
The selection of a spot to build upon in so
conspicuous a place, has started the public
gossipinto all sorts ofromances,fictionsandthird
fancies, and while there is an earnest inquiry
where did the money come from?" there iswas
a not less earnest assertion that Robert
Schuylerisnot dead. What gives strong in
ler.es^
"More easily said than done,
We'll, try it
whole affair, is a little stono
buildingsomeonehundredfeetfrom the man
sionj with highwindows, up out of sight on
foot, erected nominally for tier Roman, Cath
olic chapel, to which rumor adds—I do not
know—for I have nerer been down to see—
that there is a subterranean passage from
the house. The workmen have been pump
ed and repumped, and some of them hint if
not give out, that Robert Schuyler is there
yet alive, and when anybody comes into the
house, he runs underground to the chapel
and gels into his coffin, 'dead,' to which his
ghostly appeareuce while living would add
a probability. Tho story is very current
and is the natural result of his erec
ting a conspicuous mansion in so -nspicuous
a place. There seems to be a very lively im
pression that Mr. Schuyler is not dead, but
yet livoth.—N. Y. Express.

AGE.
6iit few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passional, mental, or bod
ily toil, or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes, even suddenly. Tho common
expression, choked with passion, has little
exaggeration init for even though notsudden
Iy fatal, passions shorten life. Strong-bodied
men often die young—weak men live longer
than strong, for the strong use their strength,
and the weak have none to use. The latter
take care of themselves, the former do not.
As it is with the body, so it is with the mind
ana temper. The strongare apt to break or
tl»e
hke the candle to run the weak burn
out. The inferior animals, which live
in general regular and temperate IiveF,
nave generally their prescribed term of year?.
The horse lives 25 years the ox 15 or 20
the lion about 20 the dog 10 or 12 the rabbit
8 the guinea pig 6 or 7 years. These num
bers all bear a similar proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow to its full size.—
But man of all other aniincts, is the one that
seldom comes up to this average. He ought
to live a hundred, years, according this phys
iological law, for 5 times 20 are 100,* but
instead of that he scarcely readies on the
average, four times his growing period Cite
cat six times and the rabbit even eight times
the standard measurement. The reascn is
obvious—man is not only the most irregular
and the most intemperate, but the most la
borious and hard- worked of all animals. I
is also the most irritable of all animals and
tbert is reason to believe, though we cannot
tell what-an animal secretly feels, that more
than any other animal he nourishes wrath to
keep it -warm, aud consumes himself with
the fire of his own secret reflections.—Bldck

HONOUR AMOSO REEKI.S.—A curious little
incident has just occurred illustrating the
strange medley of races, the English nation
are called on to govern. /There are some
hundreds of Santal prisoners ip our goals.
They are condemned for the rebellion, but
they are otherwise not a bad race, and in
goal they-pine for freedom and die like shop
The mortality in the Bhaugulpore Goal hut
year was upwards of 40 per cent. The Lieu
tenant-Governor was accordingly advised to
let them loose, binding them to work in the
great swamp province around Calcutta, call
ed the Sunderbunds. They were asked for
their parole of honour not to fly, and, after
two days/ hesitation, gave it. A few days
ago it was announced that all had fled. Yes
terday, however, they all came, walked
gravely up to the Alliporc Goal, and deman
ded admittance. Not a man had fled. They
said the cholera was so bad in the Sunder
bunds—quite true—that they could not stay,
and so, in obedience to their promise, they
had come back to goal. They will probably
be put to pthor work, but their conduct LaV.
exew strong spnipathy. 'There is not utir
other race in India who, under the circum
stances, would have kept their word. They
could have gone home just as easily as to
goal, and all India could not have caught
them again. This is the race which has
been given to the missionaries.—Calcutta
A TALENTED CONGRESS.—A correspond
ent of the Lowell Journal says, in looking
over a list of the members of tho twenty-
Congress, which commenced Decem
ber 2, .1833^ and closed March 2, 1835,
somewhat surprised at the number of
members who have filled high positions un
der our government. Six members of that
Congress—J. Q. Adams, (previous,) Tyler,
Polk, Fillmore. Pierce, and Buchanan—have
occupied the Presidential chair. Five mem
bers—Messrs. Calhoun, Johnson, Tyler,
Fillmore-and, King—have been.?Yieo Presi
dents and Henry t'lAyy-John,Forsyth, Dan
iel Webster, John C. Calhoun, James Bu
chanan, John M. Clayton, and Edward'Ev
erett—have filled the office of Secretary of
State. Thirty-two members have beeni
Governors of State!-, and twenty tlrtjee mem
bers of the House have since scrvM in the
Senate.
UNM/CKY FRIOAV.—A curious bif of sta
tistics in the French papers illustrates the
superstitious avoidance of doing ajiy thin
thing that can bo helped on Friday. It is
also further remarked that when Friday
happens to fall on the 13th of tho month,
(which has occurred twice this year,) tho
orauibus receipts at Paris decrease at tho
rate of fifty per cent.

of being tho most advanced in the world:
