We count the broken lyres that rest Where the sweet waiting singers slumber, But o’er their Bilent sister’s breast The with flowers who trill stoop to number? A few can touch the magic string, And noisy fame is proud to win them f , Alas for those that never sing, __ ■ But ilie with au their musie m them? Nay, grieve not for the dead alone, Whose song has told their heart's sad story, - Weep for the voiceless, who bare known The cross without the crown of glory 1 Not Where Leucadian breezes sweep O'er Sappho’s memory-haunted billow, But where the glistening night-dews weep On nameless sorrow’s churchyard pillow. O hearts that break and give no sign, Save whitening lip and fading tresses, Till death poors out his cordial wine, Slow-dropped from Misery's crushing presses, If singing breath or echoing chord To every hidden pang were given, What endless melodies were poured, ' As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven! THE TWO SOLILOQUIES. THE IDEE EOT. 0, dear tael what a terrible trouble it is to me to learn lessons and go to school l Here I have one, two—no not two, but a whole column and a half of words, with meanings, to get by heart. 1 wish words had no meanings. Well, I suppose I must begin to learn them: p-ri-s prig, o-n on, prison, “A place where people are confined." Why shouldn’t they say school at once? that’s prison, lam sure. Well, what comes next? F-U-u pun, i-s-h, punish, t know the meaning of that word without the book, everybody in our house is so fond of using it. “ Master Charles,” says old cross nurse, ‘‘ if you will spoil your clothes in this manner, I shall ask your father to punish you." “Master Charles,” cries Betty, the house maid, “you deserve punishing, that~you do, scratching my chairs and writing on my tables sp.” Now, they are not your chairs and tobies, Mrs. Betty. 0, this ugly lesson—l never shall fet it! P-l-e-a s pleas, u-r-e ure, pleasure, “grati oatjon of the mind.” Nay, but lam sure pleasure means swinging on gates, eating candy, blowing bubbles, arid playing at watchman and thieves with our scholars. 1 dare say, if Fred Jones had heard me, he'd say pleasure meant having a new book. Bead, read, read—l hate readingl When lam a man I'll never open a book, and I'll never send my children to school, and I'll have a black horse —no, it shall be a gray one with a long tail, and I’ll ride up and down the streets all day long. O, how I wish I were a man now! THE IDLE BOY BECOMES A MAN. Yes, I am a man; and wo is me for having been such a littie fool when I was a boy! I bated my book, and took more pains to forget niy lessons tbifn ever I did to learn them. What a dunce I was, even over my spelling! Always at the bottom of my class, and my book thumbed, and dog's eared, and cried over—the very emblem of duhcc hbod. “Do, Charles, learn your lessons,” said my father, “or you will be fit for nothing when a man.” “Do, dear Charles, give your mind to books, or I shall be ashamed of owning you for a hoy,” said my poor mother. But no; I must give my mind to whipping tops and eating cakes, and a fine'scholar they made me! Now, there was Fred Jones, he liked play well enough, but he liked reading better; and he learned more out of schdblhours than I did in them. Fred Jones- is npw like myself a man, but a very different kind of a man. He has made friends among the wise, the honorable, and the learned; I cannot-be ad mitted to their acquaintance. He can interest a whole company with useful information; I am obliged to be silent, or talk about the weather or my neighbors. I can make out a bill of parcels, but I blundered over a letter to a friend. I see my error now, but it is too late. I have ho time to read, for I must work for my daily bread; and if X had time I could not turn my reading to profit. Behold the bitter fruits of idleness in childhood. i Mrs. Salisbury. SUPERSTITIONS IN CHILDHOOD, An old writer says:—“Superstition is the greatest burden in the world;" of the truth of .which remark many persons are sensible from their earliest childhood. Indeed, superstition is. the bugbear of the nursery; whereas the great aim should be to divest children of this pernicious fear. “If too great excitability and power of imagina tion be observed in childhood, much may be done by a sound discipline to retain it. Let the child be protected from the sheetud spectres of servants,: and. the boy from the shadows and rattling cur tains and palls of romance writers. Let iris first ideas of the Almighty bo those of a God of Mercy, who gives him every blessing—who offers himself to ohildhood under the most benign of characters, as taking little children in his arms and patting his hands upon them. Let him be taught to ‘see God in storms and hear him in the wind,' not as the poor Indian, but by having his mind tutored to trace the regular course of God’s providence in the moat striking phenomena of natural science; and We see no objection and little difficulty in ex plaining to him so much of the metaphysics as ntay enable him to unravel the associations of darkness and the churchyard.” WHY DO CHILDREN DIE? The reason why children die, says Hall’s Jour nal of Hiulth, is because they are not taken care of. From the day of birth they are stuffed with food, choked With physio, sloshed with water, suffocated in hot rooms, steamed in bedclothes. So much for in-doors. .When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air once a week in summer, and ohce or twice during the coldest months, only the nose is permitted to peer into daylight. A little later they are sent out with no clothes at all, as to the parts which most need protection. .Bare legs,-bare arms, bare necks, girted middies, with an inverted umbrella to collect the air and chill thd other parts of the body. A stout strong, man goes out on a cold day with gloves and overcoat, woollen stockings and thick double soled boots, with isOtk between and robbers, over. The same day a child of three years old, an infant in flesh and blood and bone and constitution, goes out with soles thlU «* paper, ’button soOksj, le<g uncovered to the knees, neck bare; an exposure that would disable the nurse, kill the mother for a fortnight, and inake the father an invalid foe Weeks. And why? To harden them to a mode of dress which they are never expected to practise. To accustom them to exposure, which a dozen years later would be considered downright foolery. To rear child ren thus for the slaughter pen and then lay it to the Lord, is too bad. We don’t think the Al mighty has any hand in it. And to draw comfort from the presumption that he has any agency in the death of a child in the manner of the quoted article, is a presumption and a profanation. She was just eighteen, the Only child of a re tired merchant. Never was there a more indul gent father, never a more doting mother. That father had spent thirty long years bending over his desk. How sedulously had he made every entry 1 How late in the night day was it that he found himself running over his “ blot ter” to see if he had forgotten an item! How to the latest verge of conscience had he gone every Saturday night over the balance-sheets 1 How through wind and rain and storm and snow he had regularly “ gone on” to purchase goods' twice a year 1 How many heart-aches he had en dured in that “age” of business, in the failure of customers to “pay up;” in their questioning'the correctness of some of the entries; in listening to interminable excuses for want of How often did it happen, when .after haying done all that he could possibly dd* to “ meet his own notes,” the announcement was made just before the clock struck ‘‘three,” that he-must “take up” a customer’s paper, on the faith of which he had obtained a “discount,” or goto protest!—■ ! How many nights he had slept not a wink in the' apprehension that he might not be able to meet the “calls” of the coming day! How maqy times he had. come home at night-fall more dead than alive, hungry, tired, dispirited, and sadj so liloquizing, “What’s the use of all this?” and yet, turning his eye on his patient, quiet, beauti ful wife, and the more beautiful blossom which nestled by her side, would;find a new inspiration iu the thought: It’s not for me, it’s for these! How many times such things occurred in the course of that thirty years of mercantile life, none can say ; the number was doubtless large, very large! But the sun of prosperity shone in a cloud less sky. Money multiplied on itself; and at the age of fifty-eight, he found himself a rich man, retired from business, the owner of a splendid mansion, the husband of as good a wife, the father of ns sweet a child as any reasonable man could wish to have. On the second day of June, eigh teen hundred and fifty-eight, we were consulted as to the health of that daughter. She was at school in a distant city. The “examination” was coming on. She had maintained a high po sition in school. Hers was the'glory of being at the “ head of her class.” .Her ambition was to maintain that position to the end. On inquiry, it appeared that she was so much “interested in her studies” that she would not give any time to recreation. She would even take her food in her bauds, burry off to school, eating and studying on the . way. The moment she returned from sehool, her face was buried in her books; and thus it had been for weeks, months, may be years. Great nature never allows an outrage against her self to be committed with impunity: neither youth nor beauty nor position nor gold ever bribed her ; her laws are as immutable as adamant. The dan ger appeared imminent. It was counselled to abandon sehool. But. as this.was not assented to, we declined special advice. It was intimated that when the examination was over, (and it would on ly be a few weeks,j she could give full attention to herself. Not having seen her, we hoped that our fears were exaggerated. Still we felt as if every book had better be thrown in the fire; that notone single day should be allowed to be passed in a school-room, not an hour in study; that every moment in the beauteous out-doors was a treasure to her, and that the early morning and the later evening should find her in the saddle, seouring the hills of her own beautiful New-England.— Only a few weeks! Why, it seemed to us, in its necessities, to be a , million years’ duration A— in fact, an interminable time, irredeemable ! But she was anxious to graduate with honor. Parental kindness overreached itself. Moral firm ness was wanting. And the school kept on. She graduated With great honor, and in the following Jnne she died. The desolation of that household was immeasurable. “ I see my error now,” said the stricken father. How many of our readers will take warning from this unvarnished narration of facts, and look with horror on those ifturderous stimulations of pride and ambition which are practised at almost all our schools? Practised always, to show off, the. teachers, without ever bringing one single benefit to the child. The price we pay for the education of o.ur sons and daughters is, in ten thousand instances, the price- of blood, ~patd for by the blasting pt the hopes of a lifetime ; the penalty, an age of desolation, a going down to the grave in ah awful loneliness, for it is not merely to be alone, but the being attended with a remorse which death only can wipe out. The victims to ill-advised applications at school and academy and college and seminary are num berless. Not, indeed, the applications themselves, but the injudicious habits and modes of life in connection with them. We are all too much in a hurry to have our children graduate; to hasten their studies; to expedite their entrance on professional life, with the result of an utter failure; or if the profes sional goal is reached, let the experience of the myriads of sufferers from variousiorms of disease testify, which torture the body and harass the mind for the remainder of life, making it a mar tyrdom instead of a glory, a gladness and an en during joy. ; \ : When I was a little girl, I attended a Sabbath school in Which it was the custom to reward good lessons by a little blue ticket bearing a verse of Scripture. Five blue tickets entitled! the scholar to a red one, and a certain number of red ones, might be exchanged for a hook. Once when the time for giving out the rewards had arrived, my teacher brought to our class a pile of new volumes,, bidding us to choose for ourselves. My fancy, as f remember, was attracted by a gaily-bound book,, with gilt edges, and profusely illustrated. I re solved to take that book, and looked most disdain fully oh a plainer one, habited in sober black, which was pressed upon my notice. Beaching my home, I sat down in a favorite corner, to make the acquaintance of my prize. Little friend, imagine my chagrin when I disco vered that my treasure was suited only to the most infantile comprehension, and had no charms for me! I had been cheated by a fanciful bind ing, and for days and weeks the sight of the little book was a mortifying souvenir of my weakness. Older children than I was have been imposed upon by bright outsides. Many a rosy apple is rotten at the core. Many a bright cherry hides a little worm. The tiger is a very beautiful animal, with h glossy fur, most elegantly striped and mot tled; but he is cruel and blood-thirsty, and often springs from the deep jungle-gloom upon an inno cent victim. The most poisonous plants have deep-green leaves and waxen berries. So, some of the worst men and women who have ever lived have been famed for their beauty and grace. Cleopatra, Who in ancient times was famed for her attractive appearance, perpetrated the most shock ing crimes, and finally killed' herself. Queen Mary, of England, during whose reign thousands} of Protestants died at- the stake or on the scaffold, was possessed of much personal beauty. Aaron! Burr, who was at oue timeprominent in our poli tical history, was mean, selfish, and treacherous, earning his worst laurels in a duel. Quarterly -Review. Never judge of things by their bindings. The little white clover blossom throws a sweet f ragrance on the air, while a whole regiment of flaunting dahlias does not shed the faintest perfume.

Matrimony and Art. —’Ann Penbam was the name of his (Flaxman’s) wife— and_a cheery, bright-souled, noble woman she was. He believed that in marrying her he should be able to work with an intenser spirit; for, like him, she had a taste for poetry and art; and besides, was an en thusiastic admirer of her husband’s genius, xet when Sir Joshua Reynolds —himself a bachelor met Flaxman shortly after his marriage, lie said to him, “ So, Elaxman, I am told yon are married; if so, sir, I tell you you are ruined for an artist. Elaxman went straight home, sat down beside his wife, took her band in his, and said, “ Ann, I am ruined for an artist." “ How so, John? How has it happened? and who has done it?" “It happened," he replied, “in the church, and Ann Denham has done it." He then told her of Sir Joshua’s remark —whose opinion was well known, and had been often expressed, that if students would excel, they must bring the whole powers of their mind to bear upon their art, from the moment they rise until they go to bed; and, also, that no mao could he a great artist unless he studied the grand works ot Rafiaelle, Michael Angelo, and others at Rome and Florence. “ And I," said Flaxman, drawing up his little figure to its full height, “ I would be a great artist." “ And a great artist you shall be,” said his wife, « and visit Rome, too, if that be really necessary to make you great ” “But how?" asked Flaxman. “Work and economize,” rejoined the brave wife ; “ I will never have it said that Ann Denham ruined John Flaxman for an artist.” And so it was determined by the pair that the journey to Rome was to be made when their means' would admit. : • J “ I will go to Rome,” said Flaxman, “and show tbe President that wedlock is for a map’s good rather than his hai-m ; and you, Ann, shall accom pany me.” Patiently and happily this affection ate couple plodded on during five years in that humble little home on Wardbur street ; always, with the long journey to Rome before them. It was never lost sight of for a moment, and not a; penny was uselessly spent that could be saved to wards the necessary expenses. They said no word to any one about their project; solicited no aid from the Academy; but trusted only to their,own patient labor and love to pursue and achieve their object. Who are they? .They are those who, when boys, were compelled to work, either to help them, selves or their parents; and who, when a little older, were under the stern necessity of doing more than their legitimate share of labor; who as young men had their wits sharpened by having to devise ways and mean’s of making their time more available than it would have been under ordinary circumstances. Hence, in reading the lives of men who have greatly distinguished themselves; we find their whole youth passed in self-denials, of food, and rest, and sleep, and recreation. They sat up late, and rose early to the performance of imperative duties; doing by day-light the work of one man, and by night the work of another. Said a gentleman, the other day, now a private banker of high integrity , and whom we know had started in life without a dollar: “ For years together I was in my place of business at sunrise, and often did not leave it for fifteen and eighteen hours.” Let not, therefore, any youth be discouraged if be has to make bis own living, or even to support besides a widowed mother, or sick sister, or unfor tunate relation, for this has been the road to emi nence of many a proud name. This is the past which printers and teachers have often trod: thorny enough at times, ft others so beset with obstacles as to be' almost impassable; but the way has cleared, sunshine came, success followed, then the glory and renown! A youpg iiian writes us: “I am an Immblc school-teachcr; with the duties belonging to half a hundred pupils, I issue a monthly, printed nine miles away, and do all thefolding; stitching, bind ing, and mailing of three thousand copies, with a deep feeling that good may be done. I hope I will succeed.” Certainly lie will succeed! For he has the two great elements of success: a will to work, and a heart in the right place; a heart whose object is not glory, but good. But too often has it happened that there comes in, between the manly effort and a glorious fruition, disease, crippling the body, depressing the mind, and wasting and wearing away the whole*naan. Who does not remember grand intellects Which have gone down in the night of a premature grave? Who has notseen young men with magni ficent minds, standing oh the borders, looking wistfully, oh! how wistfully! over, but unable to “go in and-possess the land” only, for the watif of bodily health ? - A health by no means wanting orignally, butsaerifieed; pitilessly, remo-selessly sa crificed by inattention and sheer ignorance; learned in every thing else; critically informed in every thing else; perfeet masters of every thing else, ex cept the knowledge of a few general principles as to the cure of the body; principles which could be perfectly mastered in any twenty-four hours by a mind accustomed to think. Within a few months two men have died in the very prime and vigor of mental manhood, being not far from fifty, one the first scholar of his time;' the other, one of the very best and most useful men of the age; both of them the victims of wrong habits of life; habits framed in youth, and utterly repugnant to the commonest dictates of common-sense. Some of the most useful rules for the preservation of the health of the young, while obtaining an education, are these: *' < L Keep the feet always dry and warm. 2. Eat thrice a day, at regular times; not an atom between meals; taking for supper only a piece of cold bread and butter with a single cup of any warm drink. 3. Go to bed not later than ten o’clock and never remain there longer than eight hours at farthest, not'Sleeping a moment in the day-time.' 4. Cool off with the utmost slowness after all forms of exerciser never allowing an instant’s ex posure to the slightest draught of air while in a state of vest after that exercise. 5. If the bowels fail of acting daily, at a regu lar hour, eat not an atom until they do, but drink all that is desired, and give more time than usual to out-door exercise, for several days. These five rules can easily be remembered, and we appeal to the educated physicians of all lands for confirmation of the truth J of the sentiment, that a judieous habitual attention to them is es sential to the preservation of sound health, and the maintenance of a good constitution the world over. Their pr&per observance would Add a young life time to the average age of man It has long been a prevalent opinion that it never or rarely rains in Egypt. Formerly, if was said that, there was no rain;at all; and several wet days having been observed of late years, they were supposed to have been caused by a change of cli mate, produced, it was imagined; by some exten sive plantations in the valley of the Nile. M. Jornard, however, shows, by documentary evidence, that allthese opinions of no rain and change of climate are erroneous. Rain, and heavy rains, with thunder and lightning, though rare visitors/ are not strangers in Egypt/ Sir Archibald Alison',’ in his history of Europe, writes as follows:—“It never rains in Egypt; centuries may elapse with out more than a shower of drizzling mist moisten ing the surface of the soil. It is said that it has not rained in Egypt for 1700 years.” A corre spondent of the Times writes from Alexandria, Oc tober §1,1856, as follows:—“Englishmen express their astonishment at the heavy rains we have lately experienced, having come with' the -erro neous impression that it never rains in Egypt-” Upon this, it is, naively asked whether the rain, which is referred to By correspondent is the first which has appeared in Egypt for 1700. years, or whether the great modern historian in error, when lie wrote the passage above oitedp Gazette.

Our ladies need also to be taught the value of light, independently of air. “When a gardener,” says Johnson, “wishes to etiolate, .that is, to blanch, soften, and render juicy a vegetable, as lettuee, eelery, etc., he binds the leaves together, so that the light may have as little access as pos sible to their surfaces.” . In the same manner, the ladies, instead of opening their petals to the sun, as. do the plants naturally and instinctively, cover their faces with veils and parasols to shut out its impertinent rays, and- in order that they may etiolate themselves as completely as possible. Take some pains tci convince your patrons, and especially to convince mothers of the value of light; assure them, however, that to compensate for the loss of the lily, where the sun has cast his shadow, he seldom omits to plant the rose. - There is a'natural Connection between dress, and exercise, although I suspect it has never oc curred to you to consider dress in this light. . La dies’ dress, which has constituted the point of so many, jests and sarcasms, and has been the burden of so many cruel philippics and sober homilies, still'needs/1 am sorry to say, some reform; and; ungracious, as the service may seem to. you, gentle men, you will not be at liberty to withhold your voice. ■ ' It is not a question of hoops and bustles, of mutton or of bishop-sleeves: these are matters of taste, which we would leave them to settle among themselves; only claiming for ourselves the same exemption from offipions criticism. But how cau aiiy lady go out of doors who “ has nothing to wear ? ” Can she go out.in cloth shoes ?—I mean in this climate —in cambric dress es and without any bonnet upon her head ? Yet they have actually, fqr the most part, no shoes, or •dresses or bonnets vrhich are suitable, or which were ever desigheij|(gi protect them from the rain Or snbw; orfroih th^xold.; J But in this respect our men'are no better off: American gentlemen have adopted as a national costume, broadcloth-—a thin, tight-fitting suit-of broadoloth. :To foreigners we seem always to be in mourning; we travel in black, we write in black and we work in black. The priest, the lawyer, the doctor, the literary man, the mechanic and even, the day laborer, choose, always; the same unvarying; monotonous black broadcloth ; a style and material which never ought to have been adopted out of the drawing-room or the, pulpit; because it is a feeble and expensive fabric; be cause it is at the North no suitable protection against the cold, nor is- it indeed ahy‘ more suit able at the South, itis tob thin to be warm in winter, and too black to bo cool in the summer; but especially do w.e object to it because the wearer is always afraid .of soiling it by exposure. Young gentlemen will hot play ball, Or pitch quoits, or wrestle and tumble, or any other similar thing, lest 'theirbroadcloth should' be offended. They will not go out into the storm, because the' broadcloth will lose its lustre if the rain falls upon it; they will pot ,t]bgy ;bai'e-no eonfi denoe in the strenath of the broadcloth; they dare not mount a btgfce, or leap .a fence, because broadcloth, as every body knows, is’ so faithless. So these young men, and these older men, mer chants, mechanics, and all, learn to walk, talk, and think soberly'jand carefully;' they seldom even venture to laugh td the full extent of their sides. /■ . The cloth manufacturers and the tailors have shut us up in tight .coats, and these in their turn have shut us up in tight houses. Clothiers and tailors have woven and cut out our national charac ter. Allow me to make the dress of a people and you may make their customs, is as just a maxim as the older proverb, “ Allow me to make the songs of a people and you may* make their laws.” Dress affects nations as it does individuals; and when Beau Bruuimel exposed to his royal patron the sCeret of his life, and especially of his famous cravat—“starch makes the man” —he taught a profound and useful lesson. There are a multitude’ of other subjects per taining to general and special hygiene to .Which I cannot at present even allude, since I have al ready detained you, too long ; you_ see at least the direction in is most heededf— We need for ,our,dwellings more ventilation and : less heat; we meet!more put-door exercise, more, sunlight, more mainly, athletio and Tude sports; we need more amusements, more frolic and noisy boisterous mirth.

All men, both young and old, need less medieineAud more good counsel. Our cities need cleaning/'paviDg and draining. The Asiktie cholera, the yellow fever, the plague, add many other fearful epidemics are called the t»p probria of our art, and our fellow-citizens upbraid us with the feebleness and inefficiency of our re sources in staying their fatal progress.

EXERCISE. ■ How important is bodily exercise ! Not only does it keep alljour physical organs in vigor and health, but it conduces also to cheerfulness of mind, enabling u| to. think and reason with greater soundness ahdfacility, thaii is possible during long periods of idleness and sluggish re pose, Walking, equestrianism, manual labor; and gymnastic games areall desirable, for converting debilityinto strength, and supplanting the sickly pallor of disease-by the ruddy glow of salubrious pleasure. Walking; is always available, and a walk in a cheerful dirame of mind, with. the eyes opfen for beauty and the. air-attuned to natural melody, is no despicable exercise. But, as Presi dent. Hall truly remarked : : —“ It is rare to. find an American man or woman who enjoys taking a , walk. Our excessive heat in summer and exces sive cold in winter gives us a ready excuse lor Degreeting this exercise. •But'if we would know what the true enjoyment of life is, we must learn to walk. We have ho lark to teriapk iis, by the exquisite music of morning hymn, to walk be fore sunrise, nor nightingale; io ; lure us Out to evening rambles; the sweet-scented violet,, the early primrose and the fragrant thorn are- absent from our Yet I am-slow to believe that pun Mends of the old world have any greater attfilcti<|jjs out of doors than we." : • If. men ask for the songs of birds, we have the song-sparrow, the American robin, the cat bird, thebrownthrusb,apd the;mocking-bird, to fill the morning hours|with music; the oriole, the vireos, the purple finch and the bobolink sing all day, and after sunsef the wild ring of fthe Wilson’s thrush and the long drawn plaintive! sweetness of the wood thrush, mingling with the cheerful song of the beeswing finch, leave nothing to be desired. If yon ask for beauty in the flowers, our woods and meadows and, prairies pour out an unmeasured abundance; if you ask for fragrance, May gives us the spicy breathjof the arathusa eigea, June festoons the trees with the odorous flower of the Wild grape, July fills the air with the perfume of the azalea, August brings the sweet clethra, and the modestly concealed clusters of the apiog makes the woods redolentof the memory of the flijwer ing grape. But what can com pare with the American forest in October? When every tree is dressed in such, glories that it would repay- one for an hour’s walk to see a single tree; or if a tree declines to putout this .holiday array, some wild vine runnlng dp its trank,, and laying hold of its branches, honors its branches, honors its |modesty, by qlothinjgit.in more than regal purple. ‘ But a difficulty beenrs, which"its thusnoticed by the gentleman we have mentioned aboveße lieve me, the only drawback to the enjoyment of the long walk's in? America is the difficulty of finding a-cbmpaniob Who is- willing to walk far enough to reap thefull benefit of the recreation.” iThe exhilaration and happiness produced by ex ercise, arida contemplation of the beauties of na ture, elevate the soul and invigorate the body. Gloom is changed into gayety, and morbid melan choly is supplanted by merriment.

LIGHT. FERSEVEEAHCE. He who allows his application to falter, or shirks his work on frivolous pretexts, is on the snre road to ultimate failure. Let any task be undertaken as a thing not possible to be evaded, and it will soon come to be performed With alacrity and 1 cheerfulness. The habit of strenu ous continued labor will become comparatively easy in time, like every other habit. Thus even men with the commonest brains and the most slender powers, will accomplish much, if they will but apply themselves wholly and indefati gably to one thing at a time. Sir Charles Napier, when in India, encoun tered an army of 35,000 Belooehes with 2,000 men, of whom only 400 were Europeans. . He charged them in the centre up a high bank, and for three hours the battle was undecided. At length they turned and fled. It is this sort of pluck, tenacity, and deter mined perseverance which wins soldiers’ battles, and indeed every battle. It is the one neck nearer that wins the race and shows the blood; the one pull more of the oar that proves the “ beefiness of the fellow,” as Oxford men say ; it is the one march more that wins the cam paign; the.five minutes’ more persistent courage that wins the; fight. Though your force be less than another’s, yon equal and outmaster your opponent if, you continue it longer and concen trate it more. The reply of the Spartan father who said to his son, when complaining that his sword was too short, “Add a step to it,” is ap plicable to every, thing in It is not how much a man may know that is of so much importance as the end and purpose for which he knows it. The object of know ledge should be to mature wisdom and improve character, to render us better, happier, and more useful,—more benevolent, - more energetic, and more efficient in the pursuit of every -high pur pose in life. We must ourselves he and do, and not rest satisfied merely with reading and me ditating over what other, men have written-and : done. Our best light must be made life, and our best thought action. The humblest and least literate must train his sense of duty, and accustom himself to an orderly and diligent life. Though talents are the gift of nature, the highest virtue may be acquired by men of the' humblest abilities, through careful self-disci pline. At least we ought to be able to say, as Richter did, “I have made as much out of my self as could be made of the stuff, And no man should require more.” Rain purifies the air by, absorbing, ss -it falls, the carbonic acid and ammonia which is always, floating in the air. Show absorbs a still larger quantity of these impurities, hence the peculiar purity of the air after a snow-storm. When cakes are miked with show and baked, these gases are expanded by heat and form the little cells in the dough which make the light. They are wholesome-in the stomach though injurious in the lungs. The large planet now seen in the evening in the western horizon is Venus, making three pla nets. now ,visible in the evening—Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Mars rises about midnight. Singular Time for a marriage— A loving couple in Memphis, Tennessee, were last week married under the following singular circumstances :—They were taking a carriage ride in one of the principal streets in that city, when they chanced to meet a Judge Hill, who was riding leisurely along upon a favorite don key. They at once accosted him, and requested him to unite them in,the, holy bonds of wedlock. He. ac ceded to the proposition, and without dismounting, performed the ceremony, making the occupants of the’ vehicle one, and having for witnesses the mule and two of three persons who were passing at the time. The Priests And the French Army.— An order has been issued,: it is stated in an English paper, by the ..French Minister of War, forbidding-soldiers in. garrison at Paris, or any other town in France, from, attending woryhipin paroehialor conventual churches. and intimating' that, for the future, provision would everywhere be made within the barracks for the re gular celebration of muss. The origin of this regu lation is said to be the efforts on the part of the priests to influence' theminds of the soldiers In fa vor of the pope. , . , THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN .... .............
