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.

• - • .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.

There was once an itinerant preacher in West
Tennessee, who, ,possessing considerable mat
oral eloquence, had 'gradually become posses.

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

large audience, he was particularly pressing,

the climax, by exclaiming; "I fotch him dovin

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 ?"

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. Poor Sourkrout thought the devil
must be to pay there too, and forthwith drew
a check for his two hundred. He continued to
deposit and draw again at nearly every bank
ing housern town, when getting tired out and
thoroughly in despair. sat downiupon the curb
stone, wiped the perspiration froM his face, and
soliloquized thus : "Mine Cot ! mine cot ! vere

known in the north of Vermont, for his careless.
vagabond habits,.ready wit, and remarkable
facility at extempore rhyming. Sittingone day
in a village store, among a crowd of idlers who
gathered about him on his arrival, the merchant
asked' Barty •whyy he always wore that shock
ing bad hat ?" Barty- replied that it was situ
ply because he was linable to purchase a new
one. "Come," said the merchant, '•make me
a good thyme on the old hat immediately—

threw his old tile on the floor, and began :
"There lies my old hat,
And pray what of that ?
'Tis as good as the rest of my raiment?
If I buy me a better
You'll make me your debtor,
And send me to jail for the payment !"
The new hat was adjudged, "by the unani

who wore it off in great triumph, saying that
it was but a pour head that couldn't take care
of itself!

those held by the Unitarian Restorationists.
In other words, I believe that the moral 'char
acter formed in this life will be that in which'
we shell awake in the life to come, and that
many die so deeply stained nnd tainted by lives
of transgression and depravity, that a tedious
and painful discipline must precede:and pre•
pare for their admission to the realms a eternal
purity and bliss." •
lire: MAT' AND His Stsrettt-=-M r. William B.
May,,of Roxbury;. Mass., who accompanied
the famous nunnery Committee, on their visit
to Roxbury; stated on oa t h to the investigating
committee that he had 'a pirticular reason Ibr
wishing to see the inside of a convent, because
he hati*a sister in the sisterhood in Emmits
burg, Maryland, whom he believed he should
no: be allowed to see, if he should attempt to,
and whom he had reason to' believe was de
tained there against her° will. The Boston
Daily Advertiser, however, makes the follow
ing statement. which puts a very different face
upon the matter :
"Within a few' days ,past. however, this
gentleman has visited Emmitahurg. where he
found that he was admitted freely to the 01413 . •
ence of his sister, and allowed unrestrained
conversation with her. She had no wish, to
leave the establishment."
Bann Toms DI EASTERN TErats.—The Na
cogdoches Chronicle. of the 17th, giros the fol-
lowing off hand sketch of the state of things in
that 'quarter:
"No rainyet —.hot as blue blazes--fine pree,
pect for, parched corn. The- planters, are be
coming alarmed. A letter from one to us, the
other day, closed with 'starvation staring us iu
the face."'
THE STABIPEDE FOR THE WEST;'—•The.. trains
on the Galena, Rock Island, and Burlington
railroads are immense. The passengers on
the Galena road are bound for western,Wis
consin. northern,-lowa,, and Minnesota ;, those
on the Rock Island for central lowa ; and those
on the Burlington road- for southern lowa.
There seems to be a perfect stampede from the
eastern States for the magnificent-West and
Northwest. • The emigration, though im
mense,' cannot occupy -a tithe - of the -land,
though the stream should continue unabated
for the next half-dozen years.

day. Give .tne temperance—the only road to
old age. Here, waiter ! another plate of roast
beef ' "Vy, sir, you've just finished the third
plate !"--"None of your business, I pay for
it." As many die from gormandizing as from
drinking. all the difference being that one vice
is more perceptible than the other.

PUNCTUALITY.-It is said of Melancthon.
that when he made an appointment he expect
ed not only the hour. but the minute, to be
fixed. that no time might be wasted in the idle
ness of suspense; and of Washington, that
when his secretary, being repeatedly late in
his attendance, laid the blame on his watch.
he said, "You must get another watch, or I
another secretary."
