Oclect atisceitann. Sir Isaac Newton. AN EXAMPLE FOR "Boy-In the middle of the seventeenth century, there was an English boy Of • mean and dimmutive appearance, and behind all other boys of his age. He was con stantly at the foot of his class ; and, verily, it was believed that this boy would become only a ininglqr of some kind, for surely the soul of karning was not in him. At the age of twelve, a change was wrought in the character and fortune of the youth that badnever obtained "a reward'of merit," and was regarded by teacher and scholars °as an — inferior. At' this time, an altercation took p ace • tween this backward boy and the one above him in the class, whereupon the latter treated him with indignity and violence. The pride of the boy was outraged. He could not revenge the insult by . a blow, be cause he was too weak to cope with his oppo nent physically. How, then, shall he humble his assailant ? He resolved to surpass him in study; to get above him in the class, and there remain, to look down upon his enemy, and , clip from him the laurels he so indiscreet ly wore. He resolved—accomplished; became a most devoted scholar : commenced a career of glory ; and Sir Isaac Newton appeared • with a key to unlock the mysteries of • motion, and to draft s true chart of the stupendous uni verse.—Scientific American. A TOUCHING CUM/H.-A common practice in Paris. which impresses a stranger favorably, is that of lifting or taking off the hat when a funeral . passes. A writer on this subject re lates the following 'Some years since, we were one of that rushing crowd ever pouring up and down Broadway. .When in front of old St. Paul's, all eyes were attracted by the appearance of the crew of the French war vessel, La Belle Pottle. which then visited the United States under the command of the Prince de Joinville. The crew were in their naval dress uniform, bright and beautiful, and were sauntering along seeing the sights. All at once they stop ped, fanned a line, faced inward, and uncover ed their • heads. How exquisite and touching was the scene, when we discovered in that thoUghtless, busy, hurrying crowd. a man of 4 ' 6 _ foreign birth, evidently poor and friendless. under whose aim was carried a tiny coffin, and by his side. the stricken mother. They were in search of a burial place for their babe, and were jostled and unheeded in that gay torrent of humanity, until they met these tempest tossed, mariners, whe on the instant, with bared heads. stood in silent respect, while the sacred ashes of the unknown infant_were passing. 'Such are French manners." QUARRELING.—If' any thing in the world will make a man feel badly, it is unquestiona bly a quarrel. No man ever fails to think less of himself after, than before : it degrades him in the eyes of others, and what is worse, blunts his sensibilities on the one hand, and increases the power and passionate irritability 9w:the-other. The - trah — is, the more peace- L ably and quietly we get on, the better for our neighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the bet ter course is. if a man cheats you. to quit deal ing with him: it he is abusive, quit his company: if he slanders you, take care to live so that no body will believe him. No matter who lie is. or how he mis-uses, the wisest way is to let hint alone; for there is nothing better than this sort of calm,.quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we meet with. a:7Philosophers state that the monad, the smallest orall creatures, swarm by myriads in a drop of water ; for it has been computed that vt-i thin-this—small-apaceundred-millien could be comprised. The monad is never found to attain a length greater than the twelve thousandth part of an inch. lira cubic inch of a certain kind of mould, consisting entirely of animalculm, more than forty-one millions of dis tinct beings were estimated, by Ehrenberg, to exist. 13:Rashness borrows the name of courage, but it is of another race, and nothing allied to that virtue ; the one descends in a direct line from prudence, the other from folly and pre sumption. 11:7 - It is far easier to detect error than to discover truth ; the one lies on the surface. and can easily be discerned : the other lies deeply hidden. and few are ahle to find it. 1- Be courteous to all. bat intimate with fcw : and let those few be well tried, before ,you them ) . our confidence. famihj Xtumitaittr---rinattit In Volitirs, %gritilhat, Tittraturt, 2d5 ktitutts, t. aintktti, Curd Volutotit nub Slittlligtuet, Itutttisng, linstmiut, kt.• • - • .L4l_l3ihooLizicident , In my early years, I attended the •public Schools in Roxbury, Mass. ' Dr. Nathaniel Prelifice . was our teacher, but his patience; at times,would get nearly exhausted by the in fractions of the school-rules by the scholars. On .one occasion , in. rather a wrathy way, he threatened topunish with six blows of a heavy feride, the first boy 'detected 'in whispering, and appOinted some as detectors. Shortly of . ter,oneOf these .detectors shouted--' • "Master, John Ziegler- is . a whispering." I John was called up,nridasked if it was a fact---(John, by the Way; was a favorite, bOth of the-teacher and school-mates.) . • "Yes." answered John, "I was not aware what. I was alxmt. I was 'intent in working_ out a slim, and requeited the one who sat'next, to reach me the arithmetic that contained the' rule..which I ,wished to see." . The doctor regretted his hasty threat, but told John he_ootild not suffer him to escape the punishment, and continued— "l wish I could avoid it, but I cannot, with out a forfeiture of my word, and the conse quiftTOKS-offiv authority. I will," continued he, "leave it-to any three scholars you may choose, to say whether or not I, shall omit the punishment." John said he was agreed to that, and im mediately called out G. S., T. D., and D. P. D. The doctor then told thein to return a verdict, which they soon did, after consultation, as follows: • - "The master's word must_be kept inviolate —the threatened punishment of six blows, of the ferule must be given ; but it must be in flicted on volunteer proxies : and we, the arbi trators, will share the ptinishment by receiv ing two blows each:" John, who had listene r a to the verdict, stepped up to the doctor, and, with outstretch ed hand, exclaimed— "•Master, here is my hand. they shan't be struck a blow ;I Will receive the punishment." The doctor, under pretence of wiping his face, shielded his, eyes, and telling the boys to go to their seats, said he would-think of it. 1 believe he did think of it until his dying day, but the punishment was never inflicted. Good Sense. The New York Times, in the course of "A Column of Talk for Men on Small Wages," has this orthodox _paragraph on the subject of dress. ‘.Then as to dress, it is great nonsense to say that all must dress fashionably or lose caste. " What is the fashion ? Who , wears - a fashionable toot, and how do you know it is the fashion Tell us one substantial mer chant, one thrifty mechanic, one successful lawyer,. or one gentleman who wears it, and we will name ten of each.- equally noted and suc cessful, who do not, and ten fops whom you utterly despise that do. The fashion in New York for men just now, requires a clean, decent garment, and no patches on it--no more, no less. A lady . might wear' her grandmother's shawl in Broadway, and not be noticed. The timid ones, and those just in from other cities and villages, alone are worried about their looks when they wear a last winter's bonnet to the lecture to church. Let the young imitate the substantial and common-sensible, rather, than those who are keeping up appearances at a sacrifice. It will be a saving in this item." [11)f all the dark spots of human nature, of all the vile acts of man towards man, none throw such a freezing chill over the whole body, and drive back the purple current on the aching heart, like base and damning in gratitude. Indifference continued. coldness persevered in. favors forgotten, friendship un requited, by one who has been the willing re cipient of our esteem and bounty, bring a palsying horror over the soul that thickens the bloo in the veins, making the whole head sick, and the whole heart faint. Pour upon a, man of fine feeling, a noble, generous soul, the combined diseases flesh is heir to—let death snatch his loved ones from him—strip him of all his earthly goods—let him be assailed by keen adversity and pinching want—let prison gates confine his body to the lonely cell—let the poisoned arrows of malice and revenge be hurried, and pierce him with many wounds—these, all these are a panacea to his bleeding heart, compared with the deadly pang inflicted by base ingratitude. MAT AND Coto.—Heat expands the atmos phere, and increases its capacity to take up water and hold it as an invisible vapor. Cold condenses air, and diminishes its power, to contain particles of water in any form. The attraction of aggregation brings the separated particles together, often aided by electricity and the sudden concussion of thunder, and they fall by reason of attraction of gravitation. It sometimes happens that drops of rain are evap orated before they reach the earth in passing a stratum of dry atmosphere ; and at other times a mass of fine, cold particles gain greatly in size and coalesce into large drops in falling through a stratum of saturated air. M!NTATURE OAKS.-If an acorn be suspended by a piece of cord within half an inch of the surface of some water contained in a glass, and permitted to remain without. disturbance for a few months, it will burst, send a root into the water, and shoot upward a straight tapering stern with beautiful little green leaves. In this way a youn. , oak tree may be produced on the mantle-shelf of a room, and become an in teresting object. The chesnut will also grow thus. and * probably other nut-bearing trees. The water should be often changed when the plant has appeared. MUTUAL SupPoitt.—The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. From the time that the mother binds the child's head. wipes the death damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All. therefore, who need aid have a right to ask it of their fellow" mortals ; no one who holds the power of granting can refuse it with out guilt. —Sir iValter Scott. MALIGNANT PASSIONS. --Beware ,of .all the malignant passions. They are great foes to grace. Envy is devilish. Hatred is murder ous. Wrath is cruel. Even peevishness t;e strop; equanimity, and then, connected thought is impossible. God's Spirit is a dove, not a bird of prey. He flies from noise and strife: He who ruleth not his own spirit will be ruled by an evil spirit. [l:7Evidence of folly —Neglecting to advertise what you have got to sell, and wondering why you do not succeed in business as well as your neighbor whose goods are no better nor cheap er than your own. GETTYSBITRG,:',PA.. MONPAY, MAX .i 4; Iss:o'. —A Knotty—Text There was once an itinerant preacher in West Tennessee, who, ,possessing considerable mat oral eloquence, had 'gradually become posses. sed with the idea-that be was-alio an extraor dinary Biblical scholar,- Under thiS delusibn he- would very frequently, at. the, close of his sermon,' ask any pember of his congregation, yvho might have a "knotty text" to unravel, to speak it, and he would emilain it it once, however much might have ' troubled "less distinguished divines." _ On this occasion, in a. large audience, he was particularly pressing, for some one to propound a texti'but no one presuming to do - so, he, was 'about to sit dovin without an opportunity of showing his , learn , ing, when a chap by the .door announced that, he had a Bible matter of "great consent."

"What I want to know," said the outsider, "is, whether Job's turkey was a hen or a gOb• - b er ?". 3he "expounder" looked confused, and the, congregation tittered, as the questioner capped the climax, by exclaiming; "I fotch him dovin on the first question !" From that, time forward ; the practice of ask ing for "difficult passages" was avoided. Wooden Nutmegs Outdone. There is a Parisian dandy, who, we think rather outdoes•Connectieut. •had at his residence a complete costume of a groom. When offering attention to one of the fair sex, he used to say, "Permit me to send you a boquet by 14 black servant." He then repaired to his garret,' took out his blacking bottle, polished his face and bands. put on his. I ivery, and knocked at the lady's door. •Here," said he. "are some flowers sent by my - mastez to Madame." - He had spent the last five francs in the pur chase of them. Madame was delighted with the present, that she presented , a louis to the bearer. •This is a clear pocketing of three dollars, and the lady's favor in the IZ.rgain." Whistling at Falsehood., A clergyman in Scotland desired his hearers never to call one another liars, but when any one said what was not true, they ought to whistle. On Sunday he preached a sermon on the par able of the loaves and fishes. and being at a loss to explain. he said, the loaves were not like those now-ti-days. They were as big as the hills of Scotland. lie had scarcely pronounced the word when he heard a loud whistle. "'What's that ?" said he, "who calls me a liar?" - '"lt's I, Willy McDonald, the baker." • "Well, Willy, what objections have ye to what I told ye ?" "None, master John, only I wanted to know what kind of ovens they use to bake those loaves in ?" Hints to Married Men. Peppergrass says that if he stay out late at night and wishes to avoid a scolding or curtain lecture from• Mrs. P., he generally waits out till the "wee ma` hours ayont the twal," when the anger of his better-half subsides into fears for his personal safety. 1-k goes out "on busi ness," with a promise to be home at nine.

WHERE THE DUTCIWAN PUT His MONEY FOR SAFE KEEPING.—The following incident oc curred on the day the San Francisco banks suspended. A poor Dutchman who had a couple of hun dred dollars in Page, Bacon & Co.'s drew it out, and after carrying it about an brim or two, thinking Adams & Co. must be perfectly safe, deposited there ; happening to hear some doubts expressed about them an hour later, he became alarmed and drew it out again ; took. it to Wright's and opened- an acsount.with him ; he had not got ten yards from the door before he saw . a man rushing in nrs office look ing.wild.
