DoGs.-We are quiet and sober kind of parsonage, and dislike to be troubled with any unreasonable sounds and noises. More particularly in inc night time, when we are wearied with the tolls of the day, we always utter an anathema against any and every thing which breaks our repose.-- And truly this town IS cursed with dogs and every individual of them IS particularly well supplied with good lungs, a sonorous voice, and disposition for using these ad- vantages. Just about the time, therefore, that we get ready to dispose of ourselves for the mght, some unlucky dog takes op- portunity to utter his voice at the moon, in return for some irnaginary insult. From quarter 10 quarter of the town-from house to house-every cur, of whatever age or size, takes up and repeats the howl, and in two moments the town IS perfect Pande- monnm. Sic canlbus catulos slmiles - that IS to say, the whelps yell as loudly as theu progenitors-and we lose our sleep for two thirds of the night. The Corpora ton of the town has passed ordinances against these quadrupeds-but, like the proclamations of General Hull, in the last war, they produce small effect. Gunpow- der and lead are the only things for them and we are glad that the remedy has been administered of late. Shooting at night may be breach of the ordinances-but ii Is just as much breach, when the proper officer will not put an ordinance in force.

 

 The following is an extract from a sen- tence of Judge May, of Petersburg, Va. pronounced upon two young men, convicted of stealing slave. It has struck us with peculiar force, as being exceedingly appll- cable to the condition of society and the state of feeling here as well as elsewhere. This determination of living without labor ---this contempt for mechanical employ ments and those who honestly and worthi- ly follow them-is growing upon the peo- pie of our country, and 1t is an unnatural and vicious state of feeling, and one fraughi with danger and crime. Multitudes oi young men enter upon the world with only one fixed principle and resolution, and tha Is, to do no work, but to live upon the earn ings of other classes whom they despise- to live s'upon their wits" They are to be seen standing q: every corner. and before every drinking shop, :n crowds, from morn ing until sunset, living, no one knows how, and sneering at the laborious and honest mechanic. Out of these men are made the pot-house politicians, the pot-valiant com batants, and the prominent partizans, of every place where they are found to exist.

 It IS mistaken notion that "the world owes each of us living" Ii owes us no living unless we render to it an equivalent and to men who live by borrowing, and spunglng and lounging idly here and there, 1t owes nothing. The mechanic and the farmer render to society their equivalent, and 10 them the world owes livelihood. -
