Gems of Thought.
Dee - Johnson used to say "he who waits
to do a great deal of good at once will never
do any."
All good principles must stagnate with
out mental activity.
If industry is no more than habit, if is at
least an excellent one.
niches got by fraud are dug out of one's
own heart, and destroy the mind.
Riches got by deceit -cheat no man so
much as the getter.
Let our repentance be a lively , will, a firm
resolution. Complaints and mourning over
past errors avail nothing.
Introduce changes in your reading and
studies. Who reads but little at a time re
tains that little better. •
When the heart is pure there is hardly
anything which can.mislead the understand
ing in matters of immediate personal con
cernment.
Unjust riches curse the owner in getting,
in keeping and in transmitting: They curse
his children - in their father's memory.
There is a certain softness of manner
which, in either man or woman, adds a
charm that almost entirely compensates for
lack of beauty.
.There are a thousand pretty, engaging
? little ways which every person may put , on
?•
without being deemed either affected or
foppish.
Guard against reading too much or too
rapidly- ReNM rather with attention; . lay
the book often down; impress on your mind
whatyouttive read and reflect upon it.
;,Weigh every step that yoa are about to
take, whenever passions. become involved.
How often do things assume' a different as
t!. pect when they are fairly considered:
:•,••. How often d.o'we sigh for opportunities
of doing good, while we neglect the open
ings of - Providence in little things, which
would frequently lead to the accomplishment
.
-7 , 1 of most important usefulness.
,`,.;
It is much easier to think right without
doing right, than to do right without think
ing right. Just thoughts may, andotten do,
I fail of producing jus deeds; but just deeds
are sure to beget just t
thoughts.
•4, No child possessed of ordinary capacity is
destitute of curiosity. The process of pop
,* ular education has, we doubt not, in many
instances, so deadened this desire, that
many a "mute and inglorious Milton"
4 sleeps in the multitude of common men.
We should be careful to practice and
treat the humblest menial with courtesy as
•I c delicate as we would show the children of
• , ':1 affluence and , honor. Bo shall we transfuse
in them a corresponding refinement, which
will tend eventually, perhaps, - to make
them purer in morals and more , elevated'in
•.,-; • mind.
With most of us, idleness is, the parent_
not merely of uneasiness, but withal of fret
•":l fulness, malevolence and the whole host of
evil passions. The phrase "aching void,"
may be ridiculous to those who criticise
- grammatically, hub is true to those who
••• feel humanly. To supply this void is an
LA, object, and moreover a certain effect, of a
' . •„1 regular and sustained and judicious method
••,) \ of self-instruction. The used key is bright.

The Dead Sea or Mono.
. TheJinstin, (Nev.) Boreal. of November
14th, has the following:

Territories west of the Rocky Mountains,"
that Mono Lake lies ten 7rilles-southwest of

P . ., the dividing e California

of chloride.. of sodium, carbonate of

These' substances render the water so acrid
and nauseating that it is unfit for drinking
• or even bathing. Leather immersed in. it is
soon destroyed-byits corrosive properties,
g and no animal, not even a fish or a frog, can
- 1 exist in the water for more than a short
; . time. The only thing able to live within or
• t upon the waters of this lake is a species of
1, fly, which, springing from larvae bred in its
bosom, after an ephemeral life dies, and,
„.•-• collecting on the surface Is dri ft ed to the
73 shore, where the remains collect in vast
quantities, and are fed upon by'the•ducks or

are a staple article of food. •Nesting under

sack is the aridity of the atmosphere that it
is always kept at nearly a uniforni level by

Mark Twain's Visit to Gen. Grant.
Mark Twain went to see Gen. Grant on
i
his re. to Washington the other day, and
this is , h at; Mark writes about it:
"I said to him: 'Sir, what do you
-propos 'to do about returning to a specie
basis?' To which he made no audible re
ply. hen I said: 'Sir, do you — mean to
stop the whisky frauds, or do you mean to
connive at them?' To which he replied as
before I now said: 'Do you intend to do
straightforwardly andunostintritiously what
every, k true, high minded Democrat has a
right to expect you to do,_or will you,
with unaccustomed obstinacy,do otherwise
and thus, by , your own act, compel them to
resort to assassination?' To which he re
plied: 'Let us have peace.' I continued:
'Sir, shall you insist o npon stopping blood
shed at the South, inplain opposition to the
Southern, will, or flail you generously per
mit albrave, but unfortunate people to wor
ship God according to the dictates of their
own consciences?' No reply. 'Sir, doyou
comprehend that you are not the President
of a party?-that you were not elected by'
your OW,II strength, but by the weakness of
the opposition? That, consequently, the .
Democrats claim you, and justly and right
eously, expect 1 Jou tominister the
Government . from a De mocratic point
of view ?' Riotous silence. 'Sir, who
is to - report the customarT, neces
sary, coherent and. instructive interviews
with the President,—Mack, of the Enquirer,
J.. 8. S. of the World, or myself, of the
Tribune)?' General Grant said: 'Let us haye
peadel' I resumed: 'Sir, do you propose to
exterminatethe Indians suddenly. with
soap and education, or doom them to the
eternal annoyance of warfare, relieved only
by periodical pleasantries of glass beads
and perishable treaties?' No response. 'Sir,
as each section of the Pacific Railroad is
finished, are you going to make the compa
nies spike down their rails before you pay?
Which is to say, are you going to - be a de
liberate tyrant?' A silence undisfinguisha
ble from the preceding was the only re
sponse. 'Sir, have you got your Cabinet
all set? . What are you going
_to do with
those Blairsr 'Let us have peace!' 'Sir,
do - you Comprehend whott is that is con
versing with you?' 'Peace? 'Sir, am I
to have. Nasby'a postollice, or--' 'Go to
the--mischief ! I have a thousand of your
kind around me every day. Questions,
questions questions ! If you must ask ques
tions, follow Fitch, and inquire after the .
Erie rolling mill—you'll have steady em
ployment. I can't stand it, and I won't
stand it—l will have peace:" -
Tan remains of William Garvin, of Lou.
isvithi, who was lost in the awful steamboat
disaster on the Ohio, on the night of Decem
ber 4th, were found and identified on Thurs
day. In connection with the identification
of the body, the Louisville Courier men
tions the following strange coincidence :
The pocket Bible found with Mr. Gar vin's
body was binned about half away, and the
first legible were in the first verse of
the second chapter of Joel, viz: "Blow ye
the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in
oftholy mountain. Let al the inhabitants
he land tremble; for the l
day of the Lord
cometh; for it is nigh at hand." The second
and third verses are even more significtint
than the first. They read: "A. day of dark
nese and $f gloominess, a day of clouds and
of thick darkn..ss, as the morning spread
upon the mountains; a great people and a
strong; there hath not been the like, neither
shall be any more after it, even to the years
of many generations." "A fire devoureth
before them; and behind them a flame burn.
eth; the land is, as the garden of Eden before
them, and behind them a desolate wilder
ness; yea, and nothing shall escape them."
There is not on record, probably, a more
suggestive coincidence than this.
Atm. San Francisco Cali contains the fol
lowing statement: "General George B.
Mr-eleflan has been heard from. He de
clines the presidency of the University of
California. With thanks. 'While he is
obliged to his friends for the interest mani
fested, and while he would wish to do allin
his power toward furthering the interests of
thelmiversity, the smallness of the salary
attached to the office of President compels
him to decline the position. General Mc-
Clellan holds positions at present which
give him from fifteen to eighteen thousand
dollars a year income."
