Successful men owe more to thei* .
severance than to their natural powers;
their friends, or tho favorable circunv
slnnccs aroimd ihom, Genius will falter
by thmsido of labor; great powers will
yield to great industry. Talent is desiiv
able,but perseverance is more so. It will
! make mental powers, or, at least, it will
strengthen those already made. : Yes.it
will make,mental power. The 'most avail-
able and successful kind of mental power
is that made bv tho hand of cultivation.
It >vill also make friends. Who will
not befriend the persevering, energetic
youth, the fearless man of industry ? Who
is not a friend to him who is a friend to
himself? He who perseveres in a course
of wisdom, rectitude and benevolence, is
sure to gather around him friends who
will be true and faithful. Honest Industry
will procure friends in any community in
any part of the civilized world.
Go to tho men of business, of worth, of
nsk them who shall have
their confidence and support. They will
tell you, the men who falter not by tho
wayside, who toil on their c.nllings,
against every barrier, whoso eye is bent
[upward, and whoso motto is “Excelsior.”
I'lheseare tho men lowborn they give.
! their confidence. But they shun the lazy,
I the indolent, the fearful and fahering.—
They would as soon trust the wind as such
men.
If you would win friends, bo steady
and true to yourself; be the unfailing
friend of your own purposes, stand by
y-our own character, and others will come
to your aid, Though the earthquake and
tho heavens gather blackness, be true to
vour courso and yourself. Quail not,
doubt not of tho resulf; victory will be
yours. Erlends ,wilj como, a thousand
arms ofstrengtb will be bared losustain you.
First, be sure that your trade, your pro
fession, your calling in, life is a good one
that God and goodness nnd sanc
tions; then he true ns steel to if. Think
for it, plan for it, wurk for it, livo for it;
throw your mind, might, strength, heart
and soul inlowour actions for it, and suc
cess will crown you her fnvored child.r-r
No matter whether your object bp grppt,
or spiall/whcther it bo the planting of a
nation or,a patch of potatoes, the same
perseverance is necessary. Every body
admires nn iron determination, and comes
to the aid of him who directs it to good.

Men must learn, to labor nnd to wait, if
they would succeed. Brains grow by uso
ns well ns hands. The greatest man is
the one who uses his brains tho most of
his natural stock of powor. Would you
lmve fleeter feet? Try them in the race.
Would you have strong minds ? Put them
at rational thinking. They will grow
strong by action. Would you hnve great
er success? Uso greater nnd more ra
tional and constant efforts. Docs compe
tition trouble you ? Work away ; what
is your competitor but a man ? Are you
a coward , that you shrink from the con
tost? Then you otfght to be beaten.
Is the end ofyour labors a long wny
off? Every step takes you nenrer to it.—

Tow fin or Rev, 11. A.
Stern, in a rpjwrt in the London Society
for Promoting Christianity among the
Jews, thus describes the result of his visit o
To this celebrated site in January last: “It
waia beautiful day; and, ns we rode \
I over the Vast plain in Babylon, once crow-'
Idod with streets, palaces, and gardens,
now entirely deserted, forsaken and des
olate, I read ns it were on every liimulus
which wc passed, and every broken-up
canal embankment which' wo crossed, the
denunciations of the prophet: 'And’Baby-*
lon shall,become heaps, ai dwelling .place
for dragons, ap astonishment and a hissing,
without nn inhabitant.’ (Jor. li, dt.)- The
Birs itself, which like a giant shadow' of
bygone ages rises from the midst of a bar-,
ren wnsto, oven in its devastated, ruiped, 1
and abased condition, still seems to utter]
the proud language of Nebuchadnezzar :!
Ms not this great Babylon, that I hate
built for the housb of the kingdom by the
might of my power, and for tho honor of
my majesty?” This elaborate monument
of ancient days is generally admitted to
be ilia site of the tower of Babel, and the
renowned tempio of Jupiter Belus, so min
utely described by Herodotus. The name
Birs is a corruption from tho Birsif of tlio
Chaldeans, and the Borsippa of the Greeks.
According to the Talmud it was a locality
in the ‘great city,’ and a place fuvoruble
for tho study of tho law| for which Rashi
accounts with very little sagacity, by say
ing ‘that tho air near it made ono forget
j learning though the most probablo rons-
on is, because vain mortals raised here
the first impious monument; and also here
the great imago was set up, before which
a cringing people bent their suppliant
knees. On the summit of tha huge prya
midal hill stands a fragment of the brick
work about 35 feet high and 28 broad and
thick ; it is shivered, broken, and torn on
all sides, and rent in the centre. Around
it aro'scattered heaps of conglomerated
bricks, entirely virtrifled, and as hard and
unyeilding ns adamant. This strange phe
nomenon must havo.'bcen caused by the
most violent action of fire or electric fluid;
and thus were Babylon’s high gates burn
ed with firo,’ nnd her costly temple preser
ved as a beacon of divine vengeance,and on
irrefragable proof of the divino source of
prophetic l'rqpft thq top of;
this smitten U>tver fi thc r cye, iotho words of
the poet of Israel, wnpders over‘a land of
darkness and the shudoiv of death, ’ with
out any object to roleive tho sight, except
the incsssnn! tumult (the traces offqrmcr
habitations,) which extend to llip very
verge of the horizon. To the westward
are lakes and swn.mps, the tomb of the
prophet Ezekiel, and a few other strnog
gling buildings, wjtich only enhance the
deSohUo aspect of this forlorn region.
A CITY ASLEEP,
A day or two ngo, wo visited a city, a
populous city, wlioso houses will outlast
New York, lor they shall endure till
“doomsday." Strange to soy it is.not no
ted on tho best maps; strange to say tho'
its population is doily increasing, no colo
ny ever issues from its borders.
The golden chimes of Pacific's waves
has never charmed a single oar there; the
shout of tho pioncor in tho further West,
has nevpr lured them henco, to peek new
homes. Indeed ; the city wc speak of
stands alono, like a rack hound isle in the
midst of a turbulent ocean—the busy world
whirls and roars around, but flioro it re
mains unmoved,
Wo visited .it in broad day, but tho
streets wore.pmpty i not.ft.fomilliar voice

very qtrangq; thero shone lho;sun, with

"SIIES IN SOCIETY*
A lazy man —one who. attends to no
regular calling—is, . generally speak
ing, a bad citizen, and a nuisance to the
community in which be lives. He is an
eyesoro—a piecd of nothingness—-a blank
in God’s creation. Every community is
obliged to support a number, more or loss
of thoso drones. This always has been,
and >yc presume .always will continue to
bo, the enso. Nothing can stimulate tho
drone—nothing will shame him to assume
the dignity of an indepondnnt man.
content to drag oat a life of idleness, arid
to bo fprgotten when he dies.
Mow, to oor view, tho man who has
nothing to attend to, nothing to engngo
his mind must lead a miserable life. Wc
care not how riel) ho may be, lie never
can enjoy hits riches in idleness. He must
exercise both body and mind, or bccoino
sluggish, stupid, and fretful. It is n wise
law of nature that requires man to work
and when lie fails to observe this law ho
forgets the object of his crcution, and
brings ruin upon himself. Every man
'must toil if ho desires happiness. . The
lawyer, the divine, tlio merchant, the me
! chnnic, the farmer, nil, are required loob
serve this great law of Divinity. During
our few yeurs probation hero on earth it
is the duty of all to vie with each other in
the amount of labor, mental and physical,
| we perform. This we are commanded tw
do not merely with lho object of gaining
wealth for ourselves and our children, but
for tho nobler purpose of fulfilling a duty
to ourselves and to society.- Ouf recom
pense will be u cheerful disposition, com
posed mind, and manly feelings. When
men perforin their duty in this respect,
they feci that theyarogood citizens linden
titled to hold a position in thegrcalfnrnily.
Wo caronot what culling a man may pur
sue, whether ho .occupics tho roßtrum or
carricalho hod, if ho lubors in that calling
and is sober and honest, lie is a good cit
izen,- cqpaljy entitled |o ihq respect of all.
The industrious man, even in misfortune
and affliction, pap find consolation, for he
nus the rospect, confidence and sympathy
of all good citizens. Not so with the idler.
He commands the respect of none, for the
very reason that ho made no attempt be
fore his nffliQtjpp to ; build up a character
or to help himself. His cries like the voice
iu; tho.. wilderness, will, not bo htJeded. tin
the day of troqble. IJo.wus content (olive
d’iazv life, and make, no provision for llie
future, and he dies the death common to
men of his class,
Wo repeat (lien, a lazy mnn i 3 a nui
sance to the"community in which ho lives,
for ho is of no benefit to any one, and all
despise him except' those who sympathise
with him in feelings. Tho; object',' there
fore, Oif all mdn should be to teach their
children (boys and girls) to.bo industrious.
Train them to. bnbits of industry in their
youth, and tho habit will never forsake
them when they arrive nt years of maturi
ty. The greatest fortune n dither can be
queath to his son is a good education, ino
rulily and industry. Let a young man of
twenty-one possess these qualities, and ho
has a bright future before him. If lie has
not a cent in the world, he still possesses
a fortuno which none cun deprive him of.

THE DISPHEST CQNSERT.
Upon a certain occasion, a man colled
upon u Quaker administrator with a due
bill of twenty dollars against art estate he
had been employed to settle. Friend Hop
per put it away, saying lie would examine
it,and qttend lp.it ns soon as ho lind leis-
ure. The man called again a short time
after, and stated that |io had need of six
dollars, and was willing to give a receipt
for tho vvlioio, if that.suni. were adirancod.
Tho proposition qxetted,suspicion, and the
ndminismitor decided in his own mind
that he would pay nothing till ho had ex
amined the papers of the deceased. Search
ing carefully among these, ho found a re
ceipt for tho money, mentioning tne iden
tiolo items, date and;
transaction; stating that ;a,due fi'M had
bee,n.given and (pstn apd was to bo xpstor
red by the creditor when found. When
the man called again lor payment, Isaac
said, to him in a quiet way. ,
“friend Jones, 1 understand thou hast
