The sea in an endless study. From the time
that in childhood we first pick np pebbles
from tlie beach, gathering our npron full, until
in manhood wo take passage In a Liverpool
packet, we talk, and write, and dream of the
sea. Its power and glory mingle with all
literature, and arts, and poetry, and romance
You hear its dash ngalnst the prow of Cooper's
"Two Admirals," and ee its loam on the can
vas of Turner's "Hlave Hhlp," and hear its
thunder In historical alcoves us it whelms the
Spanish Armada. Tho "gusty waves" washed
up into Shakespeare's tragedy, and their surf
tumbled into the metro of Hyrou'a "Corsair,"
with the rush and toss of his own Impetuous
nature. Southey's "Hodorlck," and Keats
"Kndymlon," and Campbell's "Gertrude of
Wyoming" stand like Chelsea beach and

Some ol the world's most stupendous occur

steamer, and surrounded myself by tho stark
bodies of young men and fair maidens." Well,
we are all running some kind of a craft, either
ship, or schooner, or briy, or bark, or sloop, or
scow. And often the sea is riugn, and the maps
are imperfect, and the pumps will not work,
and there are squalls (all tare,its know what a
squall is), and we have to put the helm hard up,
and let go the spanker sheet unit out haul, and
clew up royals and top-gallants, nnd haul down
llylng-jib, and it is only by constant sounding
of the lead that we can keep from crushing into
the breakers.
My lecture Is not so much for the old soam en,
who have long been out on life's voyago. It is
fifty or sixty years since they wut out from
.Nantucket and harpooned their first w halo. I
would as seou think of describing u school of
porpoises to Captain Cook or Commodore
l'erry, as to instruct the aged. Hut there are
those who may find It profitable to consider for
a little while the rocks against which people
wreck themselves.
liock the Fint Multiplicity of occupation.
The general rule is, Mason, stick toyour trowel;
carpenter, stick to your plane; lawyer, stick to
your brief; minister, stick toyour pulpit; farmer,
stick to your plough. Fireman, if you please,
one locomotive at it time; navigator, one ship;
professor, one department. The mighty men
of all professions were men of one occupation.
Thorwaldsen at sculpture, Irvlug at literature,
I'axton at brewing, Holhsehild at banking,
Forrest at acting, LI run el at engineering, ltoss ut
navigation, I'xutch at joking, and the London
'JHm.cs at lying. It Is only now and then that a
.Mitchell can successfully put down his tele
scope, and forsaking the hosts of light that
march, and wheel, and lire on the hills of
heaven, go forth to win still higher tri
umphs on the Held of national struggle,
wntll the stars in their courses seem to
light for the cause of liberty and union: this
good man then passing up from tho fever hos
pital to heaven, as it by coming nearer the
throne of God, ho might tho better plead tlie
canseof outraged Justiceand sulleriug humanity
Sometimes, indeed, a man Is prepared by Provi
dence through a variety of occupations for
Kome great mission. Hugh Miller must climb
up to his high work through the quarries of
Cromarty, and a Western man must come up
through lartning, and afterwards through a law
practice, and then through, the Illinois Legis
lature, until be Is ready for his work, and then
lie goes forth with the same hands with which
he once split rails, to take Insurrection by tho
throat, and to bury Hebelllon deep under the
broken shackles of tIx millions of men coming
to resurrection.
Uut, generally, by the time thirty years are
reached tho occupation Is thoroughly decided,
and there will be achievement in that direc
tion if the occupation be thoroughly lollowed.
It does not make much ditleretice wnat you do
(as far as suocess Is eoncerued). If you only do It.
Hrandrelli can make a fortune at pills, Adams
by expressing, C ooper by manufacturing glue,
Van Nest by making harness, Cietiin oy sell
ing hats, contractors by the manufacturing; of
shoddy, and merchants by putting s iti'l In
sugar, and beet-juice in vinegar, and eliiekory ,
in coffee, and lard in butler. One o! the cost
liest dwellings 1 ever saw was built out ol
eggs. Palaces have been built out of spools,
out of tooth-ache drops, out of hides, out ol
pig's feet, out of pickles, out of toot li-brusnes,
out of hose (h-o-s-e and li-o-e-s), out of line
tooth combs, out of Ice, out of water, oui of
bones, out of shells, out of bteam, out ol tnuu
tler and lightning.
The difference between conditions In life Is
not so much a difference in the fruitfuluess of
occupations, as it is a difference lit the endow
ment of men with that great and magnificent
attribute of stlckloitiveuess. Mr. l'lod-on was
doing a flourishing business at selling buulains;
but he wanted to do all kinds of huckstering,
and so his nice little properly took wing oi
ducks, and turkeys, and Buaugiials, aud Hew
away.
Mr. Loom-driver bad an excellent factory on
the Merrimac, and made beautiful c irpe-ts,' hut
he concluded to put up auother kind of factory
lor the making of snawls; aud one day there
was a nice little quarrel between the two facto
ries, and the carpets ate up the shawls, aud the
shawls ate up the carpets, and having suc
ceeded so well in swallowing each oilier, t hey
turned round and gulped down .Mr. Loom
driver. Hlackstone had a large practice, and was the
best lawyer iu town, lie could make the most
plausible argument, and had the largest re
tainers, aud was a lion at the bar, aud some
young men ot the profession were proud to
wear their hair just as he did, and to have )ust
as big a shirt collar. Uut he concluded to go
Into politics. He entered that paradise which
men call a caucus. He was voted up and ho
was voted down. He eame within three votes
of getting it. He got on tho Chicago Platf oriu
but Horace and Thurlow shook it so roughly
that a plank broke, and he slipped through,
lie got on the Baltimore Platform, butlt rocked
like an earthquake, and a plank broke, aud he
Clipped through. Then, ns a circus rider, with
one foot on each horse, whirls round the ring,
our hero puts one foot on the Chicago, ana
another on tho Baltimore, and he slipped be
tween. Landing iu u, ditch, lie foil lie had
enough of this. And our friend came back to
his luw olliee, nnd as he entered, covered with
the mire, all the briefs from the pigeon-hole
rustled with gladness, and Kent's "Commenta
ries "and Livingstone's "Luw Register," broke
forth In the exclamation, "Welcome home,
llon.'Blackstono. Large practice ! Jack of uli
trades is master of none."
Doctor Bonesetter wus a master in tho heal
ing profession. No man was more welcome la
anybody's house than this same Doctor Bone-
oelter. The people loved to bee bim pass, and
thought that there wus in his old gig a religious
rattle. When he entered a iliiii'-uuim. all the
medicines knew him, and the pills would toss
about like a rattle-box, aud the quinine would
nhuke as uiouu u uuci the chilis, aud tiie
great strengthening plasters unroll, una the
soda fountains hiss and 11.., as much as to sav,
'Will you have vanilla or strawberry ?" Hiding
along in his gin one day, be fell into u,
inoughtful mood, and concluded to enter the
ministry. He mounted the pulpit, and the
nulplt mounted him, and it was along while
before it was known who was of the most im
portance. The young people said the preaoh
na was dry, and Die merchants could not keep
from making financial calculations la the bacK
Vlri of the Psalm book, aud thechurohthluned
nt and tue sulary was not paid, and the
1mm hole became as heavy as a load of bricks,
aud M Doetorated..
Well, one Monday morning, Messrs, l'lod-on,
Loom-driver, lsiackstono Largo Practice, and
iJoctor Bonesetter, met at one corner of the
street, and all felt so .low-Rplrlted that one of
them proposed to sing a song for tho purpose of
getting their spirits up. I have forgotten all
save the chorus. But you would have laughed
to hear how at the end of all thev rses their
voices came in, "Jack of all trades Is master of
none."
Young man! concentrato all your energies In
one direction. Be not afraid to be called u man
of one idea. Better havo one great Idea than
live hundred little bits of ones. Und has but
one thought, but that thnuirht Is Eternity, Are
you meiehants? You will llnd abundant sweep
for your Intellect in a business which absorbed
the energy of a Lenox and a Urlnnell. Are you
lawyeis? You will In your grand profession

(asked a Marshall, and a McLean, and n Story,
and n Kent. Are you physicians? You can
afford to waste but littletimeoutsldo a vocation
which was t he pride of a Hush, and n Harvey,
a Cooper and a Sydenham. Helm hard up!

Jim k tlie Kccoiul A disposition to Invent. If
the Patent Olliee reports could tell tho whole
truth, they would describe nn amount of dis
appointment and lunacy positively teriille,.
At some lime in our illo we are all smitten
with tho mania lor invention. At twelve
years of age I awoke to tho stupidity of the
world in never having discovered perpetual
motion. on ought to havo seen my success.
'J lie machine was a marvel. Tho wheels were
all right, the levers all right, in fact, it wan a
complete success, with only one little excep
tion. It would not go.
Now Americans are proverbially Inventive.
Lvery Yankee is born, with a m iclilne-sliop In
his bead. At fivo years of auo lie begins to
whittle. By tho manner In which he does this
you may lorm a very correct idea as to what
will be his mechanical achievement. If ho
keep a Miurp knife, and whittle the stick down
to a needle's point, you may know that that
boy will be a smooth, graceful mechanic, and
that he v, 111 bo sharp in his insight into all pos
sibilities of mechanism. It lie gouge the stick,
and the wood ll.y oil', not In thin shavings, but
in chun!..-, you may concludo that ho will be a
rough v oi kman.aud he will spoil many u door,
und leave the mark of his clumsiness on many
a poorly turned bannister. If in whittling he
hack bis lingers ever and nuon, and run long
splinters under bis nail, you may know that he
will bo a reckless man, blowing up people with
boilers, and crushing his journeymen under
rafters. Indeed, there is no hope lor an Ameri
can who cannot whittle well.
This disposition to make something has re
Fulled iu the ten thousand conveniences of
house, and store, and street. Uod speed the
wheels! tiod sped the coin-thresher! But a
disposition to invent has sometimes absorbed
all the man, nnd made complete havoc of his
Intellect and business How many prosperous
wheelwi lL'hts have ruined their business by
the discovery r-f some new can hige spring lint
the world could neveropprecinte! What estates
have been absorbed in the introduction of reap-ing-mnchlnes,
and churns, and beei-cutlers,
and nut-crackers !
Let this be known. The most useful dis
covertts have been those which have sprung
into notice while iu the discharge of every-day
duty. JDonotmnke a life-time business of in
vention, but go iuto straightforward indus
tries, keeping your eyes open, remembering
that all nrouud ine chemist's laboratory, and
tho mechanic's hammer, and the merchant's
yardstick, there are constantly playing ton
thousand wonders, some of which it maybe
your duly to launch upon the world's attention.
IMscoverles und new contrivances fly up as
sparks from the blacksmith's anvil, as spray
lrom the manufacturer's water-wheel. All
hail: to the world's Inventors, ns they (come
forth with faces scarred iu the explosion of
dangerous experiments, nnd with their hands
blistered of toil, nnd their garments smutched
with the coal of furnaces, bringing engine, nnd
loom, aud knife, nnd mill, and laciory to attest
their skill a Fulton, who put lire and water
in one yoke; a Morse, who sends tidings flying
through the midst of heaven with angels of
fire. Nevertheless, it is well enough to know
that a newly contrived coffee-mill, or plouuh.or
horse-rake, or feed-grinder Is often tho rock ou
which people are wrecked.
Jiodc the Thinl Bad temper. Good humor
will sell the most goods, plead the best argu
ment, effect the best cure, preach the best ser
nir.u, build tho best wall, weave the best carpet.
Thepoorcst business 11 rm In town is Urowl,
Spitfire & Brothers. They blow up their clerks;
they insult their customers; they quarrel with
the draymen; they write Impudent duns; they
kick the beggars; the children shy olf as they
puss along the stieet; nnd the dogs, with wild
yelp.clear the path as thy come. Acrid, waspish,
lretlul, explosive, suddenly the money market
will bo astounded by the defalcation of Urowl,
Spitfire & Brothers.
Merryman tfc.Warm Grasp were poor boys
when they came from tho country. Tuoy
brought nil their possessions in one little pack,
each of the boys two shirts, two pair of stock
ings, two collars, one jack-kuile, a paper of
pu.s, nnd a hunk of gingerbread which, the
mother gave them wheu she kissed them good
by, and told them to be good boys, and mind
the boss. They smiled, and laughed, nnd
bowed, and worked themselves up higher and
liltlier in the estimation of their employers.
The young men soon had a store of their own
on the cornor. They were obliging men, and
ptople from the couutry left their carpet-bags
in that Flore when they came to town. Honco
lorth. when the burners wanted hardware, or
clo'.hihfr, or stoves, or books, they weut to buy
them in the place where their carpet-bags had
been i vfrutcd so kindly. These merchants had
a way of holding up a yard of clothing aut
shining upon it.bo that plain cassimere would
look almost as well as French broadcloth, aud
an earthen pitcher would glisten like porce-
niiii. .mi uy me mice oi capital, out uy uavlng
money drawer and counting-desk, and cjuuter
and shelves, nil full of good temper, they rose
in society, till to nay Merryman & Warm Grasp
have one of the largest stores, nnd most elegant
show-windows, together with the finest car
riages, ami uie prettiest wives in all the towu
of .Shuttleford.

Y'ou talk of gossip as something light ami

once It has roused an earthquake that shook
down half nelly, and a tornado that, sweep

tho pit, It crawls up, reeking with HUH and
vermin, and forked tongue, pointed at every

stands on end In market-placo aud social

Nimble horses, on smooth roads, In a pleasant

i never see a niau go out with a fishing-rod to
sport but I silently say, "May you have a good
time, and the right kind of bait, and a basket

party taking u pleasant ride, but I wish them a
joyous round, and say, ".May tho horse not cast
a shoe, nor tlie trace break, and may tho horses'
thlisluot compel them to stop at too many
taverns. In a world where God lets his lambs
frisk, and his trees toss, and his brooks leap,
and his stars twinkle, aud his flowers make
love to encli other, 1 know he intended men at
times to laugh, aud sing, and sport. Out! upon
the fashion tout will let a man smile, but pro
nounces him vulgar if lie shout with laughter !
Out upon a style of Christianity that would
make a man's lace the counter ou which to
measure religion by the yard !
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy" is ns true as preaching, aud more true
than some preaching. "Better wear out thau
rust out," is a false maxim. We huve no more
right to do the one thau the other.
But while all this Is so, every thinking man
will acknowledge that too much devotion to
amusement is ruinous. Many of tue Knglisti
clergy lost their theology In a fox chase. Many
a splendid business lias hud its brains kicked
out by fast horses. Many a man has smoked
up bis prospects In Jlavanns of the best oraud.
There ure battles iu life that cunnot be fought
with sportsman's gun. There are things to bo
caught that you cannot draw up with u fishing
tackle. Kvcn Christopher North dropped a,
Cleat ileal of Usefulness out of his "Sporting
Jacket." Through excessive amusement many
clergymen, aud lawyers, and physicians, and
mechanics, and artists have gone slaving iuto
the breakers.
I oiler this as a safe principle Those amnio
incuts nro harmless which do not Interfere
with home duties and enjoyments. Those are
ruinous which give one distaste for domestic
pleasures and recreations. I oiler home as a
preventive, ns nn inspiration, us a restraint.
Flouting offfrom that, look out for the rocks.
Home! It Is u charmed word. Through that
one syllable thrills untold melody, the laughter
of childien, the sounds of well-known footsteps,
and the voices of undying nfl'eetion. Home!
I hear in that word the ripple of meadow
brooks, in which, knee-deep, we waded, the
lowing of cattle coming up from the pasture,
the sharp hiss of the scythe ainid thick grass,
the creaking ol the hayrack where wo trampled
down the loud. Home! Upon that word tnero
drops the sunshine of boyhood, aud the
shadow of tender sorrow, and the reflection of
ten thousand fnd memories. W hen I see It in
book or newspaper, that word seems to rise,
und si urkle, und lenp, nnd thrill, aud whisper,
and chnnt. and pray, and weep. It glitters iiko
asbield. Itsiirlugs up like a fountain. It trills
like a song. Jl twinkles like u slur. It leaps
like u flame. It glows like u sunset. It sings
like nn angel. And If some Lexicographer,
urged on by a spirit from beuenth, should seek
to enst forth that word lrom the language, the
children would come forth and hide ll under
garlands of wild flowers; and the wealthy
would eonie forth to cover It up with their dia
monds nnd pearls: and kings would hide it
under their crowns: nnd after Herod had hunt
ed Its lilefrom Bethlehem to L'gypt, and utterly
given up the search, some bright, warm day it
would breathe lrom under Iho garlands, and
sparkle from among the gems, and flash from
under the coronet, aud the world would read it
fresh, and fair, and beautiful, and resonant us
belore, Home ! Home!

CuniosiTiES of Literature. By Isaac Dis-
rueli. George Hutledge & Sous, London:

phiu Agent: George Gebbio, No. 730 Sausom
street.
Mr. Disraeli's "Curiosities" is certainly one
of the most remarkable compilations of odMs
and ends ever published. Displaying as it
does astonishing research, abounding in quaint
incidents of great men, treating witli familiarity
of the literature of all languages, it has "been
for many years a standard epitome of oddities,
a work to which all scholars refer for curious
tales of great men. The edition before us is
handsomely printed in clear type, and yet is
not extended over such a sized volume as to
make it costly. Iu fuct, it is a miracle of
cheapness, and that it can be issued for the
merely nominal sum at which it is hold, is only
accounted for by the fact of its publication iu
Great Britain. Of the intrinsic value of the
work itself, it is certainly too late for us to
speak. Popular judgment was pronounced
a quarter of a century ago, and it was iu favor
of the work. We cau to-day only welcome a
new edition, which is calculated not only to
attract popular attention to a field already

LlTKHAHY LlFK OF J. K. PAULDING; By J.
N. Paulding. Harper & Brothers. Philadel
phia Agents: J. H. Lipplnoott de Co.
The late Mr. Paulding was far better known
to our readers, as a politician thfui as 4 vxixn of
literature. His triumphs in letters were
rather incidental than the aim of his life. It
is principally as a contributor to the journals
and periodicals of the day that lie essayed
authorship. Judging from the selections
made, he possessed fine powers of portrayal
and cultivated style. The scraps of corres
pondence between Mr. Paulding and tho
leading men of the country are- interesting,
and the whol work is calculated'to raise our
estimate of Mr. Paulding as a general writer.
Chkistnc's Faith, liy tho author of "MaUie.
A Sirny." Harper Brothers. Philadelphia
Agents: T. 11. Peterson & llrothers. 1
Tlie novel before us is one of singular
force. As a rule, we do not see much to praise
in fictions which treat of efforts to reclaim tho
fallen from sin, and create a feeling 0f
self-respect in tho breast of those who have no
self-respect in them. Such novels usually de
generate into sentimental discourses, aud
do nothing but make us familiar with a
set of Pharisees. Uut "Christie's Faith" isdif
ferent from the usual run of such works. It
is a portrayal of real characters, and some of
them are drawn with a tree, bold pen, which
admirably suits this style of works. It is a
marked improvement over its predecessor from
tlie same author or rather, we should judge,
authoress and promises yet better tilings iu
the future. Tlie characters pictured from low
life are better than the philanthropists of whom
the work treats. It is a pleasing addition to
that literature which owes its revival to the
powerful works of James Greenwood on Lon
don poverty and crime.
HisTOKY ok KnTiLAM). By lev. James White
BK Ginnd street, N. Y. Philadelphia
Agent: Geo. Gobble, No. 7.i0unsom street.
A history of England from the year of our
Lord to 1853, to be eoiuprossed within SOU
pages, in large type aud duodecimo-size
volume, must necessarily be a very imperfect
record of events. The work of Mr. White,
therefore, is the mere skeleton of English his
tory. Thirty pages are devoted to the reign
of Elizabeth, fifty to Charles I, and forty-four
to George III. Within such limits, it is hardly
just for a writer to claim to give eveu a run
ning commentary of a nation's progress. We
cannot, therefore, award to the work of Mr
White any other praise than that due to a
collection of incidents out of British history,
strung together by means of a table of chrono
logy. As such it is interesting, and its brevity
compels the writer to state mauy facts without
opinions, wherein the principal merit of the
work consists. It is issued iu the cheapest
style, and is useful for reference.
The Last Days of a Kino. By Maurice Hart
man. J. B. Llppincott & Co.
Any historical romance labors uuder the
double difficulty of a comparison with
Sir Walter Scott's novels in the past, and
with tho series of which "The Court of
Joseph II" is a type, which have recently
appeared. Compared with either of these
styles, "The Last Days of a King" is a failure.
But viewing it without the brighter light of the
most absorbing of our novelists, it is a very
pleasant contribution. It treats of the closiug
scenes of the unfortunate Joachim Murat,
King of Naples. Thetaloofhis tragic death
is too well knowu to our readers to need a
reference to the novel for the details. But
all the scenes are powerfully worked up. The
deadly hate of tho Corsicans, the power of the
great Colonna family, the bunhommic of the un
fortunate Marshal of France, all combine to
render the work attractive, by the vivid por
trayal they receive in its pages. It is hand
somely printed by Lippiucott. The transhv.
tion from the German is by Mrs. M. E. Miles,
and is elegant.
Lkctuuks on the Xatuke of Spirit, and of
Man ah a Ki'iimUAL Being. ByChauneey
Giles. New York: Published by the General
Convention ol the Mew Jerusalem in the
United Mates of America. J. B. Llppincott
& Co., Philadelphia Agents.
The lectures before us give a comprehensive
idea of the doctrine of Spiritualism, and are
generally received as the correct exposition of
the views of the Spiritualists. They are inte
resting. Being evidently prepared with great
care, they present such a view of the doctrine
as makes it seem least absurd, or, rather, a
little of the absurd is admitted as is possible.
They are very specious, and abound in logic,
which, if we grant the premises, must come to
certain conclusions. In theory they are plau-
Bible, and were it not that experience veucues
us that all the sophisms are fallacy, we would
consider the work as a valuable essay on
things immaterial. As it is, the book is a
standard exposition of the doctrines of the
disciples of the New Jerusalem, and as such
will be received by the citizens of the celestial
city as an ordinance fully approved by their
own Councils.
TlIF Pl'M ICATIONS OK LlTTKI.t. & GAY. Ptlila-
delphia Agent: Howard Cl.allen. Chesnut and
Thnieeulli streets.
We have received from Mr. Challen a num
ber of novels which have been issued by
Littell. They comprise all of the serials which
have appeared in Blackwood's Magazine for
years back, and consequently number among
them many of the most interesting fictions of
the day. The entire "Carlingford series" is
include.!, with "Sir Brooke Fossbrooke," and
all of Lever's recent works, as well as Mrs. Oli
phant's. The same house is agent in this city
for Littell's Lin'ng Age, a periodical composed
of the best articles in all foreign magazines,
which is issued weekly, and to which nearly
all of our leading citizens havo subscribed for
many years. Coming, as it does, in a weekly
instalment, it is a welcome visitor at every
fireside. ,
"New Jeubky Mauazink," Nkwaiik, N. J.
We have received the first number of a
remarkably well-printed magazine with the
title of N'i J'-ry- H is published in good
paper and handsome type, and compares in
appearance most favorably with any of our
old monthlies. As this is the first number, it
would be unfair to deal critically with its
articles- The b;at article is on "Dean Bwift,"
by James W. Wall, of Burlington. We wish
it every success in the future, and hope that
the literary talent of the State will place it in
the front rank of American periodicals.
Wk have received from J. P. Skelly & Co.,
No. 21 South Seventh street, several works
for children, all of which are well written, and
abound in that healthy style of literature
which is suited to the young. The best of the
recent publications is "The Cabin in tho
Brush," which is a thrilling story, well told,
and with an excellent moral.
