THE VEGETABLE UIBL. Behind a market stall, installed, I mark It every day, 8iands at her stand the fairest girl I've met with at the Bay. Her two lips are of cherry red, Her hands a pretty pair, With such a pretty turn up nose, And lovely redish hair. 'TIs there she stands from morn till night, Her customers to please, And to appease their appetite She sells them beans and peas. Attracted by the glances from The apple of her eye, And by her Chill apples too, Each passer by will boy.

Bhe stands upon her little feet Throughout the live-long day, And sella her cellery and things A big feat, by the way. She changes off her stock for change, Attending to each call And when she has but one beet left. She aays ow that beat's all." Unis The Eccentricities op Translation. Though it is perhaps neither charitablo nor prudent to expose the errors of our cotemporaries, we cannot resist the pleasure ot telling our readers or an amusing blunder made by a Paris translator of an English paper. Some surprise was recently created by IDe an nouncement in a Tans paper of the singular eqni- lage ilh which Sir Robert Peel had set out for Russia, namely "a carriage drawn by dogs and a tame tiger." When we read this, we fancied that a blunder had been made like that which heralded the arrival from India of a ship loaded with "pine tree apples," (pine apples,) instead of ananas or like that concerning the Barthelemy duel, when the Pans journrls informed us that the combatants ex changed hats three times during the duel, whilst the English journals simply said that they had three times changed caps, meaning the caps of their pistols.

Curious to know what was meant by this car riage drawn by dogs and a tame tiger, we referred to the English journals, and found that Sir Robert Peel had left for Russia, with his dog cart and his smallest tiger." The dog cart is a light hunting carriage, with a place behind for carrying hunting dogs. As for the tiger, the error is still greater, for the word is naturalized in France, the name ot tiger being given there to those microscopic grooms that fashionables love to carry behind their car nages. Cold Regions Extending. It is well known as a matter of history, that when Greenland was discovered it possessed a much warmer climate than it does at present. The ice-packs have been ex-lending south from the polar regions for some cen turies, and the northeast coasts of our continent are now much colder than they were three centuries ago.

1 he cause of this is not well understood the fact only is known. It is believed by some per sons that there is a great eddy in some parts of the polar ocean which sometimes changes its direction, and, by drifting large icebergs from one place to another, changes the climate of those places whence they are drifted by the presence of such masses of ice diffusing their low temperature to great distances. In the month of July last, the White Sea was blocked up with huge mountains of ice, and the commerce of Archangel stopped something which never happened before. In the Faroe Islands snow fell in the valleys in the middle of July, the like of which also never happened before. If this drift of ice continues regularly for a few seasons, the coasts of the White Sea will become as inhospitable as those of Greenland now are.

Study of Sir Thomas Lawrence by himself. A lady by Shee! Gov. Wise's Description op Virginia. You have relied alone on the single power of agriculture and such agriculture! Your sedge patches outshine the sun. Your inattention to your only source of wealth has seared the bosom of mother earth.

Instead of having to feed cattle on a thousand hills, you have had to chase the stump tailed steer through the sedge-patches to procure a single beef-steak. The present condition of things has existed too long in Virginia. The landlord has skinned the tenant, and the tenant has skinned the laud, until all have grown poor together 1 It js related of an aged minister, that he was once officiating for a clergymen who retained the old custom of having the "hymns lined," so that all might sing whether they had hymn books or not. The venerable man could not see distinctly, and designed to dispense with singing. To announce his purpose he arose and said "My eyes are dim, I cannot see." The chorister, supposing it the first line of the hymn, started it with the tune of "Old Hundred." The minister, surprised and mortified, stammered out, "I meant but au apology." This, too, was sung.

The minister, quite excited, ex claimed, "Forbear, I pray, my sight is dim." But still the singing continued, he giving for the last line, "I do not mean to read a hymn," and making a verse in spite of himself. The worthy old gentleman finally sat down in despair. Mrs. G. couldn't sleep on account of the terrible wind which was blowing out of doors.

"Horace, my love, how dreadfully the wind howls; don't you hear it 7 I can sleep for it. "My dear," said her better half, who was a phi losopher, "open the window, and put a peppermint lozenge outside. "Why asked his wife. "Because," quoth he, 'tis a good thing to cure the wind." A somewhat singular case has been brought under the notice of the coroner for West Middlesex, in which a child lost its life through excessive hemorrhage resulting from a leech bite. The deceased, Samuel Innes Tress, resided with his parents in Barclay street, Somerstown, and he had been affected with a severe attack of Bronchitis, when it was thought necessary for the child's safety to ap ply leeches to the vicinity of irritation and the consequence was, that one of the leech bites bled so profusely, that the poor little creature shortly after expired from the shock to the system occasioned by the great loss of blood.

English paper. At last we have news from Kansas dated subsequent to the receipt there of the returns of the Presidential election. The settlers, though disappointed, are not disheartened. The succor which they had a right to expect from the people, through the ballot box, has been denied them. They at resolved nevertheless to remain in the Territory, pursue their avocations peaceably as heretofore, defend their homes and families when assailed, and sell their lives, if need be, for Freedom, as dearly as possible.

A worthy old English farmer, who most thoroughly detested taxes and tax-gatherers, was once called on by the collector a second time for taxes he had once paid, but for which he had mislaid the receipt; and as he told the story to his friend, "Would you believe it, sir, the fellow began to abuse me." "Well," said his friend, "what did you do 1" "Do! Why I remonstrated with him." "And to what effect 1" "Well, I don't know to what effect, but the poker was bent.

Napoleon used 16 say, "strange as it may appear, when I want I any good head-work done, I choose a man, provided his education has been suitable, with a long nose. His breathing is bold and free, and his brain, as well as his lungs and heart, cool and clear.

In my observation of men, I have al most invariably found a long nose and a long head go together." A lady at sea, full of apprehension in a gale of wind, cried out, among other pretty exclamations, we snail all go to the bottom mercy on us, how my head swims 1" "Zounds, madam, never fear," said one of the sailors, "you can never go to the bottom while your head swims.

There are some advantages in having voting districts of such narrow dimensions that canvasera and challengers can know personally every man ttho resides in it, and can bo prepared at the ballot box to challenge the vote of every man who 1s not known; such a man cannot pass muster as readily in a small district as if he'had the whole town to range over and fix upon fdra residence.

It has been in successful operation lor tne past eight years; its graduates are rendering themselves very useful in practice among their own sex and children, and about forty students are in a course of education. It is chartered with all the powers and privileges of other medical colleges, and all of the New England States are represented in its Board of Trustees. The Massachusetts Legislature, in addition to the liberal charter, has ap propriated $5,000 to provide free tuition for intelli gent and deserving women of limited means, residents of this State, and 10,000 for'a building, on condition that $10,000 be raised from other sources. Near $7,000 of this sum has been secured, and friends of the institution in Connecticut are respectfully invited to aid in making up the remain der.

For every $100 they may donate, one pupil from that State will receive free tuition through a course of education in the college. The citizens of Hartford are entitled to the thanks of the Trustees, and of the public generally, for the assistance here tofore rendered. The same agent, Mrs. Anna Goulding, who has for the past six years been an efficient promoter of this enterprise, will again give to those who desire it an opportunity to aid further in founding this most important institution.

Boston, Nov. 18, 1856. )(v Publications. American Cottage Life. By Thomas C.

Upham. Boston published by Sanborn, Carter Bazin. This book is got up in the very best stylo of American typography, and is a credit to the publishers, with whom our late townsman, Oliver Ellsworth, is now associated. The work is a series of poems illustrative of American scenery, and of the associations, feelings and employments of the American cottager and farmer. These poems are collected under the several heads of American Cottage Life; Ballads and Songs for the Cottage; Cottage Hymns and Religious Songs; Scripture Songs for Religious Hours.

They are all noted for their love of nature and of a country life, and their deep and heartfelt piety. The versification is tolerably smooth, but the poetry never rises above ordinary mediocrity. Prce and I. By George William Curtis. New York: published by Dix, Edwards Co.

A beautiful work written with the most intense feeling and yet with a simplicity that cannot fail to interest. Let no one fail to peruse this calm picture of the sunshine of American society, where there is neither poverty nor riches to tantalize, and where a quiet mind in a sound body gives zest to every earthly enjoyment.

The contradictory results of the elections in Illinois need a few facts furnished in the full returns for their explanation. There is a decided anli-Doualas and ami-Buchanan majority in the state, but the Fillmore vote served the same purpose that it did elsewhere in the free Slates, anil gives Buchanan the electoral vote by about 2000 plurality over Fremont. The vote of the State will stand about 80,000 for Buchanan, 78,000 for Fremont and 25,000 for Fillmore. The success of the republican state ticket is owing to Col. Bissell's extraordinary personal popularity, and in contrast with that of Richardson, bis rival, who is Douglas lieutenant, and was the engineer of the Nebraska bill through the House, as also to the fact tliat the Americans in considerable proportion voted for him.

They voted more generally still for Mr. Miller, the republican candidate for state treasurer, and he is elected by over 20,000 majority. Col. Bisscll, for Governor, has about 5,000 to 6,000 majority. The legislature, elected at this time, stand: Senate, republi cans 12, democrats 13; House, republicans 34, Americans 6, total opposition 39, democrats 36.

The presiding officer in the Senate will be a republican, the lieutenant governor elect. The northern portion of the Slate, settled from New England, and enlightened by churches, common schools and newspapers, gave an immense majority for Fremont, full 35,000 majority, being more than was expected, and so large that it seemed to secure the State to Fremont beyond perad-venture. But. the later received returns from the southern section, called Egypt, mostly settled by poor and ignorant whites from the slave Stales, fairly submerged this great majority by its unexpectedly large votes for Buchanan. The returns from these southern counties present a prima facie case of great frauds in the voting.

Their population has increased but slowly if at all, yet the majority for Buchanan in ten of them, is 3035 larger than their entire vote four years a. o. It is true Fremont received but a small vote, really none, in some of these counties, but hese were also Fillmore's strong-holds, and he had a considerable vote in them. Hero are the statistics of the votes in some of these counties "Alexander county gave for treasurer 361 vote In '54 for President hi '62, 401 votes. That county now gives Buchanan 800 majority.

Pulaski county, which (rave 246 voted for treasurer, and 357 volet for President, now turns out 800 majority for Buchanan. Union county, which never gave 1,000 votes, now rolls up 1.400 majority for Buchanan. Johnson county, which gave In '64 less than a thousand now eends us 1.200 majority for Buchanan. Monroe has cast almost as many votes. If report is correct, as she has males within lier borders." How Illinois was Carried.

The Providence-Journal publishes an extract from a private letter written by a legal gentleman in Illinois, formerly of Providence, which shows how that Slate was carried for Buchanan "Northern Illinois has more than fulfilled her promises more than answered tho highest hopes entertained of her 25,000 majority was the utmost claimed aud expected, and that was deemed a large estimate. About 20,000 was the general calculation. She has rolled up 35,000 majority for freedom. They have, however, proved too mighty for us in even with that majority. In the district, where there are 11,000 adults who cannot read or write they have given some 15 to 18,000 against us.

In these disti lets there were not Freraout men enough to make even a show, and they had it all their own way, and have come the Missouri game over us. In some districts they report twice and tfiree times as large a majority for Buchanan as there are voters in tlie district. They have made up their majorities to suit themselves. Fortunately, however, they did not understand fully how many votes were wanted, and so have not furnished enough to defeat Bissell our Governor. He is probably elected by from 8000 to 8000 majority; while Buchanan has carried the Stale by about 2000 to 5000." Mr.

Buchanan is elected with a popular majority of the whole Union against him of upwards of three hundred thousand votes a thing unparalleled ia the history of the country. A'. Y. Herald.

It con- aists of: TheadmissTon of Kansas as a Slave State under Its present "infamous" and "unconstitutional" lft ws The admission of Oregon as a Slave State, as soon its its population will admit. This will be done tnfler the new doctrine of "popular sovereignty," notwithstanding the pledge of freedom which Pres-tdent Polksigned. The admission of Utah, cursed with both slavery and polygamy under this sarao doctrine of "squatter sovereignty" The right of slaveholders to hold their slaves as property any where within the confederacy. Here the Supreme Court of the United States will step in to assist the slave oligarchy by their decisions. There are cases now before that Court which will bo decided on the side of slavery, as soon as the South themselves are prepared to act under them.

The Lemmon case will give this opportunity. This Com will at first refrain from the settlement of any general principles, until the public mind is better prepared for it. At first each case will bo settled by some peculiar individual circumstances, but they will be settled so as to please the South. Slave-owners will then be allowed a temporary residence in free States without losing control over their peculiar property. Slave dealers will be allowed to take slaves to Texas or elsewhere through our Northern ports.

We fear the effect of these decislous very much. They will be so insidious and operato so little on the careless masses of the North, that their evil will notJbe perceived. Yet the moment they are made and acquiesced in, State Sovereignty will have received a blow from which it will hardly recover except by a revolution. It will be a vast stride towards consolidation and centralization. These dangers are not sufficiently apprehended by our people.

The annexation of Nicaragua and perhaps of the whole of Central America as Slave States will then take place. Measures are shaping their course that way now. We say nothing here of new States from Texas or the Gadsden purchase or the division of California. These measures will be kept in reserve to balance the admission of Nebraska and Minnesota as free States. Their chronological arrangemeut cannot be predicted.

All this new Slave Territory will require the legalizing of the slave trade with all its horrors, and the acquisition of new subjects of this atrocious property. The acquisition of Cuba will then be attempted, unless the conquest should lead to a foreign war of the most disastrous kind. Having accomplished all these purposes, the South will either usurp the power of the whole Republic, or form a strong confederacy by itself. The Times gets into a froth, last evening, over a communication which appeared in this paper, yesterday, respecting the omission of Mr. Bamberger's name from a list of orators complimented by the Times, as exceeding great men, happy speakers and all that sort of thing.

We now come to a matter where the Times' man puis his foot into a hole.

He asserts broadly that "the Courant's arti- cle was not written by a German."

"Want to buy any tin pans, pails or anything "No." "I'll sell cheap, and take most anything in pay." "Don't want none." "But just look at my lot, it is the completest you ever saw." "But I don't want to." "Well, I really wish I could sell you something. You really think you can't buy 1" "No I don want anything.

So I went out and started my horse. "Whoa," said I "now I'll see what the Connec ticut fellow can do." So I walks back to the house. "I didn't leave my whip here, did IV "Hann seen it," said the old man Keeping on reading advertisements. Then the Connecticut fellow came in. "How far is it to the tavern 1" "Half a mile said the old man.

"I am as drv as a codfish. I'll take some of your water, walking up to the table, ana taking up a pitcher. "Oh," said he "it is cider," making believe he was going to set it down. "Drink it," said t.e old man and he did. "That's royal good cider you made it for your own use can't buy such as that; if I had a barrel of that in Boston, I'd get five dollars for it.

How do you make it 1" "Made it out of apples." "Did you 1 Well they must have been extraordinary good ones, every one of them fit to make pies ef.

Real snug house," looking around as if hunting a stray fly "How many rooms have you up stairs "Four, and all finished off," said the old woman who was ironing. On that he turned around and addressed all his talk to her. "Four, and all finished off and furnished you are thriving like alL nature.

Got any smart giris to fill them 1" "No, ouly one." "Well, one good one is enough. Better than three or four ordinaiy ones. How old is she!" "Eiahteen." "She'll be married before Ions, I reckon. Not many girls like yours live to be old maids." "I don't think she'll be an old maid." "She looks like you, don't she 1 have heard of her she is as handsome as a picture what a setting out you'll give her one of these mornings." "Yes, I've got five pair of linen sheets and four coverlids, that I made for her this summer. I mean if she gets married she will have as good a settins out as anybody." "So I would, and you are able to do it.

Now I think of it, I've got a few first rate things that I must carry home to somebody, you can guess who (winking at me) 1 ve been ottered more than they are worth but would not sell them but I've a mind to let you have them for that girl of yours. I don't know though, that I can let these go. Bet sy will expect them. But come you may look at them." So the old woman put on her specs, and went out with him to his wagon. He dug to tho bottom and hauled up some pans just like those on top.

"Here they are; keep them stowed away out of sight the genuine Lafayette tin come from France. The more you use them the brighter they grow they never need scouring." "What is the price of these common ones," said she pointing to some just liko those he had iu his hand. "Five shillings, and these are ten the Lafayette tin cost nine and six-pence; but for that pretty uirl'ssake, that look so much like you, they say, I'll let you have a few for seven shillings." So ho. went on talking till he sold her more than five dollars worth of ware, not near as good as mine, at a great deal higher price. When he started on said he, "how much did you selir "None." "Ah, you didn't come from Connecticut 1" "No 1 didn't," says and then in a low voico "and I didn't want to if they lie as jou do!" A good story is told of an old lady who had received a letter from her son, a sailor on board a merchantman, which ran thus "Have been driven into the Bay of Furidy by a pampoose right in the teeth.

It biowed great guns, and carried away the bowsprit a heavy sea washed overboard the binnacle and cotnpauion the captain lost his quadrant, and couldn't take any observation foe fifteen days; at last we arrived at Halifax." The old woman, who could not read herself, got a neighbor to repeat it to her three or four times, until she thought she had got it by heart. She then sallied out to tell the story "Oh, my poor son Why, what's the matter, mother 1 I hope no mischief." "Oh, thank God, he's safe! But he has been driven into the Bay of Firmament by a bamboozle right in the teeth. It blowed great guns, but they carried away the pulpit; a heavy sea washed overboard the pinnacle of the tabernacle; the captain lost his conjuration, and oouldo't get any salvation for fifteen days at last they arrived safe at Halle lujah."

A nearo woman was relating her experience to a gaping congregation of color, and among other things said she had been in heaven.

One of the ladies of color asked her: "Sister, did you see any black folks in heaven 1" "Oh, get out you spose I go in de kitcheu when I was dare 1" This reminds me of the anecdote of a colored man who was so convinced of the lowliness of his position, aud that labor was his natural lot, that he was even indifferent as to a future state, believing that "dey'll make nigger work eben ef he go to hebben." A clergyman tried to argue him out of this opinion by representing that this could not be the case, inasmuch as there was absolutely no work for him to do in heaven. His answer was: "On, you way, Massa. I know better. If dere no work for cullud folks up dar, dey'll make some fur 'em, and if dere'snuffin better to do, dey'll make 'em shub de clouds along. You can't fool dis chile, Massa." ii i i .1.

4a i I. i. The Nfqro and the Needle. It is not generally known that in the early progress of the needle manufacture we are indebted to the negro. The earliest record of needle making in this country was in the year 1545, in the reign bf Henry and it is supposed that this useful branch of industry was Introduced by a Moor from Spain.

The historian Stowe tell us that needles were sold in Cheap-side, and other busy streets in London in the reign of Queen Mary, and were at that lime made by a Spanish Negro, who refused to disclose the secret of his art. Another authority states that the art of making steel needles was lost at the negro's death but was afterwards revived by a German in 1566! Probably these facts may account for the crest of the needle-makers' coast of arms being the head of a negro. History of Needle-Making. The Cocoa Nut. There are, it is said, three hundred and sixty-five different articles manufactured, and afforded by, the cocoa nut tree.

It furnishes food and raiment, milk, oil, toddy, cups and bowls, cordage, brushes, mala in short, as many articles as there are days in the year. It is difficult to say what it does not afford.

An interesting fact in regard to our language, is the great change in the meaning of many words.

The word miscreant, which now means a vilo wretch, in Shakespeare's time simply meant an unbeliever and when Talbot calls Joan of Arc a miscreant, ho intends to intimate that she has fallen from tho faith. How many are aware that the word injlu-ence, as used by the earlier English poets, had a more or less remote allusion to the influences which the heavenly bodies were supposed to exercise upon men 1 Baffled, which means defeated, was applied in the days of chivalry to a recreant knight, who was either in person or elligy hung up by tho heels, his escutcheon blotted, his spear himself or his effigy subjected to all sorts of indignities. Nephew, as used by Hooker, Shakespeare, and others of the Elizabelhan era, denoted grandchildren and other lineal descci.dants. Kindhi fruits, as used in the Litany, also simply denoted the natural fruits or those which the earth, according to its kind, should bring forth. A historian, speaking of a celebrated divine who had recently died, exclaimed "Oh, the painfulness of his pleaching!" by which he did not mean that his preaching was painful to his hearers, but that he bestowed much labor and pains upon the preparation of his sermons.

The term meat was formerly applied to all food, but it is now restricted to flesh only. Not a few words were once applicable to both sexes, which are now restricted to the female. As an illustration, the word girl may bo mentioned, which formerly denoted young persona either sex. Until the reign of Charles the First, the word acre meant any field, of whatever size. Furlong denoted the length of a furrow, or a furrow long.

Also, the words yard, peck, and gallon, were once of a vague, unsettled use, and only at a laier date, and in obedience to the later requirement of commerce and social life, -were they used to denote exact measure. Portland Transcript. Scene in a Kentucky Court. In the good old times in Kentucky, when "substantial justice" was administered in a log cabin, after a very free and easy manner, a suit was brought to recover certain moneys of which it was alleged plaintiff had been defrauded by the ingenious operation known as "thimble rigging." In the course of the trial, plaintiff's counsel, who happened to be an "expert," undertook to enlighten the Court as to the modus operandi of the performance. Putting himself into position, he produced the three caps and the "little joker" and proceeded, suiting the action to the word.

"Then, may it please the Court, the defendant placing the cups on his knee thus, began shifting them so, offering to bet that my client could not tell under which cup was "the 'little joker' meaning thereby, may it please the Court, this ball with the intention ol defrauding my client of the sum thus wagered. For instance, when I raise the cup so, your honor supposes that you see the ball." "Suppose I see 1" interrupted the Judge, who had closely watched the performance, and was sure that ho had detected the ball as one of the cups was ac-cidently raised. "Why, any fool can see where it is and bet on it and be sure to win. There ain't node-fraudin' thar." "Perhaps your honor would like to go a on it," insinuated the counsel.

"Up," it was, but the "little joker" had mysteriously disappeared. Judge and jury were enlightened and found no difficulty in bringing in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff on the ground that it was the "darndest kind o' defraudin'." His honor adjourned the Court, and stood for "drinks all round," in consideration of being "let from his wager Not ho Profane as Thev Mean to be.

In choosing their expletives, persons of loose language are apt to use what they take to be a peculiar to the professional repairers of pots and pans, who are not responsible for the wicked phrase attributed to them as will appear from the following explanation. Tinkers, as trampers, of course carried their own provisions. When called upon for their services, they very naturally masticated a piece of bread and formed therewith a dam to prevent the solder from becoming discursive. The said dam after doing this duty had of course a very marketable value as food, and hence the expressive phrase for comparisons "Nat worth a tinker's dam." Assuming this interpretation to be correct, it will not excuse those who have used the phrase in question, (adding an to the last word,) with an express design of swearing. They meant to be wicked, and sin (the preachers say) is in the intention.

Consequently, if they were not profane, verbally, and in the overt act, they have only their ignorance to thank for their salvation. From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
