She was told every hour in the day, of rare ... perfection; now her attitude—then her eyes—Ttbennier shape—she "danced like a friry"—"sing like a seraph"—in short, needed wings only, to make her as angel! Every servant in the house knew that his or her fortune was made, if Miss Cecile was pleatcid, - and shaped their course 'accordingly. if ",he boys" were doubtful of the success of a request, ,Cecile was-employed secretly to negotiate.

Those bright eyes opened and doled like the flow ers, and like them drank in the dew and the sunlight, regardless of the Giver. It was Cecile's eighteenth birth-day. The moat expensive preparations had been made to celebrate it.' She was to electrify the beau monde -with her' debut. A gossamer robe, fit for a Peri, silvery and light, floated soft as a fleecy cloud hound those matchless limbs. Gems and jewels would have been out of place beside those starry eyes.

The flush of youth and hope was on her cheek; her step was already on the thres hold of that brilliant, untried world; which her beauty was to dazzle and conquer. Other sylph-like forms there were, irrkd bright faces that made sun light in happy homes;but the peerless Cecile quench - ed their beams on that happy birth-night.

Passing through the hall of the easement, he met a'servant, who was carrying a lighted candle in her hand, without the candlestick.

It is perfectly refreshing to meet a cheerfel man mrith his face covered all over with a broad,-honesfewille. Such a face is always an index to an hnnitst, gen erous, end kind heart, within. The very litmu s phere in which such a man. moves, breathes cheer fulness, and all about him are happier for his pres ence. lie looks on 'the bright side of the picture, liaises all will be for the best, and rises above Wi fe/tem, net entering small and trifling difficulties to harries and disturb his mind. To the drooping, moping invalid, the companionship of such a man is worth all the drugs in Christendom, or even a "voy age over - the waters." Cheerfulness Is the secret of good health. The old saying, "laugh and grow fat." is full of philosophy. The cheerful man don't complain and growl because the weather is too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry; but thinks it will all soon be right again, %nd laughs because he is cold, or, because be is almost melting with heat. If the market is dull, be is glad that he has sold his pro duce before the prices fell; or, if he has not sold, he thinks there will be a change in the market—the price wilt be better before he sells. And should it happen that he has to take a low price at last, he laughs at himself for being bit, for it's as well to laugh as cry. 'Suck a man is geoerally honest, and always , generous. He laughs at his own disap pointments, rises above trifling difficulties, his mind is not forever employed in lamenting his own troubles and consequently he has time to consider the neces sities and sufferings of others—a soul capacious -enough to sympathize - with those in distress, and a hand liberal enough to supply their wants. It is true a man "may snaile and be a villain still;" but it is easy to distinguish between the sardonic grin of theyillian, and the open, generals, and merry laugh of the truly cheerful man. none PoTamons.—Tho Renal New Yorker says that a potatoe, if frozen, and instantly put into Cold water, does not recover, but is totally changed, and becomes a flaccid sack of unsavory, gummy 111111.11 T, of a very disagreeable odor--its original properties entirely changed or lost; but If, while in a frozen state, they are thrown one by one into wa ter constantly boiling, they are op way affected, and are as edible as when first-taken from the *lath.— This is an anomaly to the action of the cold which may be true when applied to other vogetablev, of which we are unadvised, but it is a fact worth know - I ins, aa It may as souse occasion meet • the neeessi WI of SWIM eve" filaani. **paha!, lit this' woo.

Fur there is a wide difference between . the amateur and the professional dunning.' Dr. 0- was a man of greet 'lntegrity end worth, and his businosthabits were on the - senate --exacting everything that Was his own, and pay• ing every man bis due. He held a 'note against a gentleman of Hampton for a considerable amount, and whenever be met him, the Dome/ was -ready, note in band for the payment of an instalment, It beeame at last an agonizing dread with the debtor about meeting the Doctor, particularly wharf-trou bled, as men have been in till ages of the world, with . a disease known in financial parlance As "-shorts." •ant,cr ssw I V] - v. 1.4 pocket book, iod frequent payments were made with= oat seeing the note at all, or enquiring as to the cliancss of its eventful pap:neat. He knew that the Doctor was honest, and that it would be all right and several payments Were thus blindly made. A gicater dearth of funds made him more shy of meeting the Doctor, and as he passed through the' town, his eyes wandered in art directions to catch a glimpse of his dread and avoid him if possible. Lie succeeded admirably for awhile, and out gener ailed the old man several times; but fate does not always favor the brave, and the Doctor, from a dis tant position saw his victim, oneday tie his horse to a post and enter a store. Ile made all the haste be could, and entered the store just as his debtor dodged behind a rice cask. "Didn't I see Mr. P come in here?' asked the Doctor, peeping aroutul the store, "Ile did come in here, sir," said the shopkeeper, hut he hes gone somewhere now." . • • The Doctor said be wasn't iu a hurry and could wait as well as not; be saw his bores at the door and thought he must be back before too/. The man remained hid and the Doctor waited a long time. At last be went out to the man's groat relief, and after some time he himself went out, and was get ting into the stirrups; when the Dqctor dit+cl at him from a door way. "Well, Mr. said he, "you need l net dodge me any more; that note has been paid. these six months, rind I have been trying to see you that might pay you back - the twenty dollars that you have overpaid me." . The recollection of hiding behind that rice cask an hour to avoid being paid twenty dullard beamed the man as long as ho lied, and among other mat ters of advice that he gave his children j was this, contained in a couplet of poetry, writted reith chalk on a dresser— flteaerrr or ADoo.—Tfie following instantsis related by the Edinburg Weekly register :—"The animal belonged to a celebrated chemist, who tried upon it the effect of a 'certain poison, and upon the next day administered a counter poison, with the effort of preserving the creature's life. The next day another dose was offered him, but he would not touch it. Different sorts of poisonous drugs were presented to him, but be resolutely refused all.-- Bread was offered, but he would not tooth it ; meat, bat he turnel from it; water, bat he would not drink. To reassure him, his master offered him bread and meat of which he himself ate in the dog's presence; and of that the sagacious animal.besitated not to par take. He was taken to a fountain, but ha would drink nowhere but from the spot where thi water gushed free and fresh. This continued for several days, until the mseteltenched by the extraordinary intelligence of the poor creature, resolved to make no more attempts upon him with his poisons.

A omipuiess is as LE Lazy Bqa A lazy boy wakes a lacy men just as sure as crooked twig makes a crooked tree. %ilboever yet saw a boy grow up in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unles he had a fortune left him to keep up appearances. The great mass of thieves, paupers and criminals, that fill our penitentiaries and alms-houses, have came to what they are by being brought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business portion of Com-, munity, those who mdke.our great and useful men, were trained up in their boyhood to be industrious. When a boy is old enough to play in the street, he is old enough to be taught how to work. Of course we would not deprive children of healthful. playfUl exercise, or the time They should spend iu study, but teach them to work little by little, as the child is taught to learn at school. In this way he will acquire habits of industry that will not forsake him when he grows , up. Marry parents who are poor let their children grow up to fourteen or sixteen years of age, or till they can support them no longer, bef ire they put them to labor. : Such children have acquired habits of idle ness, go forth to impose upon their employer* with lazinesS. There is ,a repulsiveness in all labor set before them, and to get it done, no matter how, is their only aim. They are ambitious at work. The consequence is, they do not stick to (lie thing but a short time; they rove about the world, get into mis nhie4 and finally find their way to the prison, or aims-house. .With the habits of idleness. vice may generally, if not invariably. be found. When' tho mind and Irende.are not occupied in some useful employment, an evil geniui finis them enough to do. They are found in the street till late in the evailing, learning` the vulgar and profane habit of those older in vice: they may be seen banging around groceries, bar. rooms and stores, where crowds gather, but they are seldom found engaged in study. A last' boy is not °Ili) , 8 bad boy, bat a disgrace to his parents, fur it is through their neglect that he became thus. No parents, however prior, in these' iimes of cheap book and newspapers, need let their children grow up in idleness. If they cannot be• kept at work, make them industrious scholars, and they will be industrious at any business they may undertake leaflet. life. We know of many boys--yOung meet—old enough to do business for themselves, who cannot read;and much less write their own names. They,"too, are lazy,. for ignorance and laziness are twin brothers. We always feel sorry for such young men—their habits are for life: the twig beat in childhood has grown a distorted tree, and there is no remedy for it. They must pass through life as they have lived, In laziness and ignorance. Think of it, young read er., and take heed that your habits sad character be not formed like theirs . --Pa /me,. Journal. Natural Wonders of California— A correspondent of the ma ioarlutuile i nfican thus describes a natural curiosity ie - Calaveras Foar.miles south of Vallecica on Coyote Creek, are what are called the Natural Bridges, two of which epee the Creek. !Magi:lotion cannot picture or form Any idea of the grandeur of the scene that here meets the eye of the beholder. Volcanic se. non has piled rocks titian rocks, and nature seems to be in mitts. %Vhilst geeing, the oaturaiist is lost in conjecture. Underneath the labarynths of luck es the eye 'detects' imitations of clusters of grape*, cherries, and other fruits ; vines and stems are per fectly imitated ; festoons and flowers, fret-work moulded in every imaginable shape ; all of which hese been formed when the substance was a molten mass, and the convulsions of nature hurled it to its present position. On close exemiottion the wonder still increasea; the observer beluildtr the natural out line:of leaves, vines, ke., imprinted on the solid rock, and the isatercities expose petrified remains of veg elation.

The explo rer is first lowered down. perpendicUlarly one hun dred feet; he then lights his torch and proceeds over shelving Nib, gradually descending from one hun dred attd seventy-five to two hundred feet below the surface, when he arrives at a large chamber called the Cathedral, from the overhanging rocks assuming the appearance of large bells, and when struck, two or more at the same timei produce the varying sound and deep melodies of a full chime. Proeeeding one. .hondred feet further, still inclining downward from thirty to forty-five degrees, we came to a lake, ap parently a huge body of water, and hnttomless, from the experiments made in throwing in rocks /sc.— Judging from the sound, this chamber mast include I many acres of space, but owing to the damp air our' lights burned faintly, and were finally extinguished, when we groped our way amidst darkness and uncer tainty to the mouth of the pit, and were glad tequit the lower for the upper deck. All the archways of these subterranean chambers are fringed with over hanging masses of spar, stalactite and quartz, as suming most fantastic forms. As soon as the dry prison will permit there will be another, and I hope more successful exploration of these sub,terrseean chambers.
