Mass. of a Shote (Choate.) Polks who arc addicted to turn-down shirt collars and bad chirography, and who imagine goose tracks in ink to be evidence ofgenious, should read the following. It, of. course, refers to the celebrated Massachusetts orator and lawyer, the Hon. Rufus Choate or, as the Maine folks call him "Rumpus Choate." On the occasion of a meeting it be came necossary that a letter of declina tion should be publicly read, and the chairman was called upon to fulfill the office. Chairman accordingly rose from his scat, and thrust his baud into his left hand pockot to find the letter. Letter wasn't there. Chairman tried the right no go. Tried the coat tail pockets no success. Letter turned up missing, Chairman stared at Secre tary, and Secretary, in .turn, scrutini zed the countenauce of the Vice Presi dent; no Choate manuscript to be found. The next step was for the person to whom it was addressed to go to his hotel, (Col. Richard B. Jones, in Dock Street,) and hunt the letter.. Col. Jones was as busy, when his guest entered, as a muskrat at high water, engaged in giving a Dutch carpenter directions for making an orna mental cornice. 'What's the matter, sir'?' he asked as the fat gent rushed into the saloon puff ing like a porpoise; 'what's your hurry?" 'Why, Colonel, I'm as mad as thun der; I've lost Rufus Choate's letter to the Democratic meeting, and they're waiting to hear it read.' 'Ah, indeed! That's a pity," remark ed the Colonel, with his usual sympathy. 'Where did you leave it last?' 'Well, the fact is, I don't know; but I'm pretty sure I left it in my room.' 'Rave you looked there?' 'Yes; but I can't find it.' 'Why, that's very strange. Nobody has entered your room since you left. Supoose you sro up and take another look ?' The fat gentleman acquiesced, and they ascended the Stairs together when fat gent espied a paper lying on the floor, which he declared to be the missing do cument. This he seized, and hurried up to the State House, where the meeting was in session. He entered; and, as the audience were on the climacteric of ex pectancy to know what Mr. Choates' fympathio3 were, fat gent's appearance, red as a lobster in a new suit of Vermill ion, with a paper in his hand, produced a round of applause. Fat gentleman subsided into a chair, and wiped his face with a square yard of cambric, while Secretary adjusted his spectacles and necktie, pulled up his shirt collar precisely three-quarters of an inch higher, and then unfolded (he document. When he did so he blushed scarlet, ra turned paper to fat gent, and sat down. Audience began to hiss, while fat gent soon saw that, in stead of the Choate letter, he had brought with him, by mistake, an architectural design The bouse then went into an uproar. As it was too late to read the letter, while the Secretary stated the facts of the case, miri'nt friend) returned to Co'olicI Jones, to enlist his sympathy. While the Colonel was thus listeningto his chubby friend's narrative, in comes a dutch carpenter, with a planed board under his arm, sawed in angles in numerable. Dutchy looked irate and as a matter of course, his employer wished to know why. 'Why Choncs, I sliust give up dis chob and has noting more to do mit it dat ish all!' 'Why not?' was the suprised rejoinder. 'Yes, why not?' added fat gent, quite interested in the man's manner. 'Well, poeause it takes to much shtuff, and too much wotk; und I loosh money on it pesides.' 'Why, you get all you ask, don't you?, in quired the Colonel. Yes; but you tell me dat do diagram, was plain, and you sends me one what is different every ten foot; und ash hard to make as.tertuyfel!' 'Why, that's odd!' says the Colonel, Let's look at it.' 'Dere, by tondcr!' said Dutchy, pro ducing the paper and spreading it on the table. 'Shoost dell me how you dinks I make dat for six dollars!' 'The deuce!' exclaimed the Colonel, with emphasis. God gracious!' said the fat gentleman 'Tic 's-bceu makiiuf a cornice by that Choate Ictler!' Such was the case. Tho carpenter (a newly arrved Leipsigner) had, by some "mistake, got hold of the fat gentleman's treasure, and supposing it to be the Colo nel's draft of a 'tarn Yankee cornice,' had faithfullyen dcavored to saw out a pat tern. It was a most unexampled case of persoverance under extreme difficulties, as CoL Choate's manuscript looks very mui?h''likc a Virginia worm fence must appear to a gentleman upon a hard spree. 'A Boston trader called at a country farm house some time ago to buy cheese, but when he came to look ab the lot he concluded not to take it, it was so full of skippers. As he was go ing off, the farmer said to him, 'look here, mister, how can. I get my cheese down to Boston the cheapest?' The trader took another look at it, and seeing more and more evidence of its being alive, replied: "Well let it be a day or two longer, and I guess you can drive it right down !'' A railroad conductor havinc in sulted a lady passenger, she said, indig nantly, that the company that owned that road should not see another cent of hcr'money. ."How so?" said the conductor, "how can yon manage it?"" "Hereafter," replied the lady, "in stead of buyine a ticket at the offie, J shall pay my fare to you!"

'Twas the evening of a lovely day the last day for the noble and il! fated Emmet. A young lady stood at the gate, and desired admittance to the dun geon. She was closely veiled, and the keeper could not imagine who she was, nor why one of such proud bearing should be a suppliant at the prison door. However, he granted the boon; led her to the door, then closed it again, and the lovers were alone. He was leaning against the prison wall, with a downcast head, and his arms folded on his breast. Gently she raised the veil from her face, and Emmet turned to gaze upon all that earth contained for him the girl whose sunny brow, in the days of boyhood, had been his polar star the maiden who had sometimes made him think "the world was all sunshine." The clanking of heavy chains sounded like a death knell to her cars, and she wept like a child. Emmet said but little, yet he pressed her warmly to his bosom, and their feelings held a silent meeting, per chance, as it held in heaven, only where we part no more. In a low voice he besought her not to forget him when the cold grave received his inanimate body he spoke of bygone days the happy hours of childhood, when his hopes wore bright and glorious, and he concluded by requesting her sometimes to visit the places and scenes that were hallowed to his memory from the days of infancy; and should the world pronounce his name with scorn and contempt, he pray ed she would still cling to him with af fection, and remember him when others should forget. Hark! the church bell sounded, and he remembered the hour of execution. The turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears from his eyes, he separated them from their long embrace, and led the lady from the dungeon. At the entrance she turned, and their eyes met she could not say farewell; the door swung upon its heavy hinges, and they parted forever. No ! not forever ! is there no Heaven. At sunrise the next morning, he suf fered gloriously martyr to his country and to liberty. "And one- o r her the nr,'-tle showeis, Its loaves by soft winds fanned; She faded 'midst Italian bowers. The last of that fair band." 'Twas in the land of Italy what a magnificent scene ! A pale, emaciated girl upon her bed of death. Oh ! it was hard for her to die, far from home, in this beautiful land, where flowers bloom perennial, and the balmly air comes freshly to the pining soul. Oh ! no, her star had set, the brightness of her dream had faded, her heart was broken. When ties have been formed on earth, close burning tics, what is more heart rending and agonizing to the spirit than to find that, at last, the beloved one is snatched away, and our love is given to a "passing flower."' Enough; she died; the betrothed of Robert Emmet, the lovely Sarah Curran. Italy contains her last remains; its flowers breathe their fragrance over her grave, and the lulling tones ot the shepherd s Bute sound a re- rjuiem to her memory. Human Nature. A good story is told of two brothers, who lived a sort of cat-and-dog life to their neighborhood's discomfort, for a good many years, but who had been at camp meeting, were slightly convert ed, and both of them concluded to re form. "Brother Tom," says one, when they had arrived at their home, "let us sit down now, and I'll tell you what we'll do. You tell me all my faults, and I'll tell you of your'n, and so we'll know how to go about mending of 'em." "Good!" Says brother Tom. "Well, you begin." "No, you bejiin, brother Joe." 'Well, in the first place, you know, brother Tom, you icill tier' Cra-k goes brother Toms paw be tween brother Joea '-blinkers, and a considerable of a scrimmage ensues until, in the course of about ten min utes, neither beinjr able to come to time, reformation is postponed die. Virtue in Man. We love to believe there is more goodness than depravity in human nature. When we see one tear of pity drop from the eye, it gives us more pleasure than would the hnding of a diamond. There is goodness real and unselfish in the heart, and we have often seen it manifest itself, to tho mak ing of a scene of sorrow the vestibule of Heaven. For him who is always pick ing out flaws in his neighbor s character we have no sympathy. He reminds us of those birds which resort to dead and decayed limbs of trees to feast on worms. In the character of most men we shall find more good than evil, more kindncs than hatred and why should we seek to pick out the flaws, and pass over the sterling traits ot character.' We hold this to be true doctrine; to portray real goodness and hold it up to the gaze and admiration of all, while we suffer the evil to remain in the shade and die. If every picture of human nature were only pure and beautiful, we are inclined to believe that we should have thousands of such characters living and loving around us. The New York Times makes a puffing paragraph on Rev. Rifle Beecher's cross- "He acted impulsively rashly coura gcously and successfully." The deuce he did! We haven't heard of so daring an exploit since "Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,"" &c. BA young lady down east lately, upon seeing the engineer pull the rope connected with the steam whistle of a locomotive, exclaimed "What, is that the way they do? I thought the engin- necr blew the whistle himselt. B9uT3rothcr Jonathan thus describes the steamboat 'Tt's got a saw-mill on one side, and a grist-mill on t'other, and a blacksmith's shop in the middle; and down cellar there is a tarnation great pot boiling all the time.'

The Keokuk Gate City relates the following: Ed. H. paid his addresses to Roia, the daugh ter of Dr. P. of this city, but his suit was not favored by her parents, and she was driven to ma clan 'esliiie appointments with her dar ling Ed. One of these evenluated funnily enough. Ed. was to come to the house and wail outside unlil the lights were turned ntf, and then she would quiv'.ly let him in. The evening came and Rosa thought her parents never would retire, out alter a wnne ine Doc'er sought hia night cap, and Rosa slipped offinlo (lie back psrlor and sat down in the dark. Her mother, thinking all others bad gone to bed, lighted a lamp, turned offthe gas, and went up stairs to oeu. nut wnne sne was standing in th hall, at the head of the stairs, she heard a gentle rip at the door. Fearing that the wind would blowout heronly light, she thoughtfully aat it down in the hall and descended to the door by its uncertain light. As she threw open the door, in rushed E l., and seizing her in his arms, bagan such a siege of kissing as prevented her crying out for aid. Poor bd. did not discover his error unlil he had called her his Jarliag Rosa about nin'y timer, anJ received upon his face a blow in exchange f. r each kiss. But' l.ear ng himstlf called an impertinent villain, he incontinently fled Ihe house, as greatly chagrined as Mrs. P. was angry. Whether his devotion and persistency won the mother to his favor, it is not slated, but Ed, and Rosa were shortly married, wiih the fullconsent o' the parents. Il proved in Ed.

The Steward was can-j ed on for bis recret. He said that as he pur- chased his stock, he packed it down in small boxes raisin boxes-and afterward, about once a week, turned over ever.' box but the one of which he was using. This was all. The reason of his success is that by turning the eggs over, he kept the yolk about the middle of the albumen. If ill the yolk after a while finds its way throtuh the while to th shell, and when it dos so the egg will spoil. Hens understand ihis fact, for they, as is well known, turn over thrireggs on which they set at least duily.
