It isa very bad habit tc use such expressions. Yesterday, when you came home from sehool, you said you were almost frightened out of your life, and when I inquired as to the cause of your alarm, you replied that you had met as many asa thousand crose d on your way from school. Now, my daughter, I wish to break you of this bad habit. When you are tired, or hungry, or frightened, use the simple words that express your meaning. For instance you may be tired, or exceedingly tired; or you may be alarmed, or frightened, or terri- fied. From this time let your lips speak the thing you mean. The Bible says: « your yea yea, and your nay nay:’ and adds “that whatseever is more than these cometh of evil.’ Will you try to remember what i have been saying, and strive to correct this fault, my dear child?” ‘* Yes, dear mother,’’ replied Jane ; “ for I know it is wrong and I feel ashamed and sor- ry for it.’* “Well. my dear, added her mother: “ im- prove' And now you may get ready and with me to see the panorama.”—Teach- Offering, ANOTHER SELL. Maduess with a Method in it. On Wednesday last, a noatly dressed, very prepossessing, and prettily spoken woman, somewhere between sixteen and twenty-five years of age, drove up to the door of the In- Sane Hospital, over which Dr. presides, and inquired fur that geatleman. She was ushered into the reception room, sud awaited the coming of the Doctor, with an air of non chalance which rather fascinated the servant, who looked upon her wi of admiration and ‘afeizued pleasure When loft alone she amused herself—a woman always will—in gratifying her curiosity by inspecting the vari- ous articles in the room oritically and thorough ly. Thedoctor being announced, she roceiy- ed him with one of those bewildering smiles which some women know so well how to be- stow, and whose influence no man of feeling could possibly resist. The doctor welcomed her with more than usual cordiality, and soon learned the object of her visit She had come, said she, with a glance full of melancholy, and a tone of more than usual tendorness, to ascortain of the doctor in person whether she could secure private quarters for her husband, who was subject to intense fits of aberration of mind, but whose conduct to- wards her, “bitter, cruel as it was,’’ could not alienate her Inve for him, which was the all-prevading passion of her soul. He had Bale so violent of late that she wished to ave him secured from violence to himself ae to her, (and here the charming creature wept for some moments,) and if she could make an arrangement with the doctor, she urged that it should be rye a3 private as his most secret ong and her husband beyond the acruti- ny of visiters. And then she said her heart would break, she knew it would, and wept bitterly and long. The doctor, ag all who know his kind and tender heartedness will readily imagine, was not insensible to the touching recital of his vis- iter, and with that frankness which always characterized him, he promised to peste fe with her wishes, to sve her husband a pri- vate apartment and his special caro—and also to shield him from the gaze of curiousity- seekers who run down sa 5 institutions The lady was not long in arranging terms; she was not long in expressing her thanks, in- termingled with tears; she was not long in settling the details of her husband's confine- ment, she was not very long, in short, in taking her leave. And as she stepped into her car- ringe, aided by the kind hand of the doctor, she turned her beautiful face towards him, and cast upon hima glance that wae full of tenderness and solicitude, and inspired him anew with admiration and pity The carriage drove away, the doctor's eyes followed amid the clouds of dust which follow- ed in its wake, until it was nearly lost to view Down the bridge. along the crowded thoroug- fare, over the pebblod way of Chestnut street. toa fashionable, if not the fashionable jewelry establishment of our city, the carriage paused its sweet and solitary inmate glancing out and smiling within, and ‘growing radiant with a brilliant thought whieh requires another par- agraph to learn Bhe alighted and glided into the bazaar of gold and precious stones, with all the stateli- ness of a queen. Une or two of the gentleman- ly attendants ran to learn her wish. She wanted to select a set of silver ware, not too prs. something neat tasteful and boautiful. The various pattergs were shown, and a sett valued at $500 was seleoted by the lady of stately tread. She desired the articles put up, a bill was made out and she would settle it. Her wishes were complied with, and the lady took out hor elegrnt port-monnaie, but alas there was only about $40 init. She had picked up the wrong port-monnaie, she said, with bewitchIng sweetness, and she was vexed at her stupidity. She however, could arrange it. She was the wife of Dr , the principal physician cf the Insane Hoapi- tal, and she desired her attendant to accom- py, her to that place, where she would pay im the $500 at once, Who conld regist such a request from a beautiful woman—a request spoken as much with the eyes as with the voice’? Not the clerk, certainly. The two got into to the carriage together, and back it whirled to the hospital. The lady jumped out, and was warmly greetel by the doctor, who was at the entrance “Doctor, this is my husband,” said she as suming an air sweet and sorrowful. The poor attendant started. Ue was struck aghast. He could not fathom her meaning “What did you say?” “Doctor, this is my husband, please take him in charge.” “The devil, ma’am, I’m not your husband! what do you mean.’’ Bursting into tears shesobbed aloud, ‘“‘he has & another spa:m—he has another attack. Oh! doctor, if you have pity in your seul, secure him, and save yourself and me from violence.”’ In vain the poor fellow attempted to explain. He was hurried along the corridor and into a room, and confined seourely—the woman all the while following cloae behind, weeping as though her heart would break. The doctor and the lady returned to the reception room, and the latter, after giving the other an out- line of the peculiarities of her alleged hus- band’s attacks, together with some directions in reference to the care which she desired to have bestowed upon him, left, promising to re- turn again in a few days. And away whirled the carriage, the silver ware and the lady, neither of whom have been beard of since. Tho poor attendant was confined for three days before any one about the establishment could be induced to convey a letter to his em- ployers, who all the time were suspecting his honesty, and preparing to advertise him Upon the receipt of the letter, it did not take them long to discover that he had been sold decidedly; the pggr attondant was satisfied upon his arrival atthe hospital, that he had been sold most sorrowfully indeed. And here, we think we will end the story, which has been talked over in fashionable circles for the rey four days with many a hearty laugh — "hil. Times, a ae at ee Tus Turwisa Story-LeruEer.—There are no theatres, or plays, or dramatic poems in ‘Turkey; but the Medak, or story-teiler, is heard with that breathless attention that the schoolboy can well believe was deservedly be- stowed on the narrator of the Arabian Nights. The Medak is generally the proprietor of a cafe, where he exhibits, standing behind « small table, with upturned cuffs, and holdin, adelicate wand. He illustrates customs an: manners, details anecdotes in histery and biography; the Jews form a constant theme for the exeroise of his imitative powers, from their very imperfect pronunciation of every language. Old sayings of @ rather paradozi- cal character form the usual subjects of illus- tration, and give occasion, forthe introduc- ionot witand sarcasm. The most eommon pro verbs employed as texts for apa on iio occasions are of this class: “In a cart drawn by a buffalo, you may catch a hare.’, ‘«More flies are caught by a drop of honey {than by a hogshead of vinegar:” * Though the tongue has no bones in it, it breaks many.’’ In these representations the Medak passes from grave to gay with a happy ea: which the Frank hardly imagined the duil capability of the Moslem could master.

In the year 1850 the census gave it 212,592 inhabitants. At the presidential election in 1552 the total vote cast was 18,547. Asthe population bad in- ereased considerably in the period between 1350 and 1852, it must then ‘e been near 300,000. This would be in the ratio of about one vote to every sixteon inhabitants. At the election held recently in Texas no less than 45,547 votes were polled. Applying the first ratio te this, we should have @ population of 728,752, being three times the aggregate ef the population in 1850. Taking the lower ratio, the total would be 501,017, so that, in any case, the at this time must exceed half a millio: 4m astonishing increase, and — that Texas has grown as rapidly az ows.
