arising from the Solitary Habils of Youth those

victims than the song of Syrens to the Mariners
of Ulvsses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, &c, imjKis-
sible.
IOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely gruvo
thousands of youug men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstaey the
living Ivre, mtv call with full confidence.

OEGAN1C WEAKNESS,
Inipotency, Loss, of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Lite
miserable and marriage Impossible is the enaity
paid by the victims of improicr indulgences,
Young persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful eonseqences
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
t he subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than oy the prudent i Besides
being deprived the pleasures ot healthy ouspnug,
the most serious and dest ructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
riinced. the Physical and Mental Functions

Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wastiug
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and

A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten
ders who.kecp them trifline month after month,

1111. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Col'cge in the United States, and the irreater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of - Ixindon, Pri6, Philadelphia aud elsewhere,
has etlectcd some of the !iiot astonishing cures
that were cTer known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, beiug alarmed at udden soands,
bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes w ith derangement of mlud, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have iuiurrd
themselves by improper indulgence aud solitary
haKts, Tvhieh ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for either business, tludy, society or mar
riage. Thf.sk are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains iu the
Back mid Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dysjiejisy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diirestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
cumpticn, dec
Mentally The fearful effects on the miud
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodincs, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are 6ome of the
evils produced.
TuorsAsns of persons of all aces can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
aud emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptom of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured th niselves by a certalu prac
tice indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, aud destroys both miud aud body, should
apply immediately.
What a rity that a young man, the hope of Vis
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and Indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such i-crsons mcst before contemulating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Iudeed witlrout these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prosjieit
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided aud imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones aud arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease Incomes
a horrid object of commUeration, till death puts
a ieriod to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use or that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution, aud
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sullerer
mouth after mouth takiug their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave hira with ruined Health to sii;li over
his galling disapioiutinent.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges hitu
fcelf to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Euro, and the tir-t it:
this country, vii: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

BIRDS BY MY WINDOW.
8weet birds that by my window sing,
Or sail around on careless wing,
Beseech ye, lend your carolling
While I salute my darling.
She's' far from me, away, away,
Across the hills, beyond the bay,
But still my heart goes night and day
To meet and greet my darling.
Brown wren from out whose swelling throat
Unstinted joys of music float,
Come lend to me thy own Juue note,
To warble to my darling.
Sweet dove, thy tender, love-lorn coo
Melts pensively the orchard through.
Grant mo thy gentle voice to woo,
And I shall wiu my darling.
Lark, ever leal to dawn of day,
PauBe ere thou wingst thy skyward way
Pause, and besUw one quivering lay,
One anthem for my darling.
Ah, mocker, rich and leafy Juue,
Thoul't grant, I know, one little boon,
One strain of thy most matchless tune,
To solace my darling.
Bright choir, your peerless song shall stir
The rapturous chords of love in her ;
But who shall be our messenger,
When we sulutetny darling.
Oh, noicelcss swallow, crowu of spring,
Lend us awhile thy swift curved wing ;
Straight as an arrow thou shalt bring
This greeting to my darling. GaUixy.

IN AN OLD ;ERMAN CASTLE.
The lateness of the European supper
gives very little of what we call in America
'au evening." The cozj after-tea call is
not known here. The supper is regarded
as part of the evening and if any one comes
at all after dark, it is to stay to tea. At
the castle it is often after eight o'clock be
fore the doors of the large dining-hall are
thrown open and "Esist uns:richtet" is
announced by the fine-looking dresscoatcd
genius of the supper-room. The first
course is tea and cake. The tea is made
and poured at the sideboard by the young
est daughter of the house, and the servant
brings the cups to the table. The rum or
arrack decanter is indispensible to the tea
tiblc as the cream pitcher, for it is gener
ally the custom to inspire the quiet, cup of
ta with a little of the Bpirits of the limes,
so that in Germany it cannot be dcscrilied
is "the cup that cheers but not inebriates."
After the tea is disposed of a large china
milk-pan of sour milk appears. The milk
is eaten from soup plates, with grated
bread, sugar, and cream upou it The
.bird course is cold meats, stewed pegion,
and potatoes the latter in their jackets
and there is a pleasant little strife among
the ladies as to who shall have the honor
of prepariug a plateful for the two dear old
gentlemen at the head of the table. The
father sits at the head of the table, the
mother at his right, aud the childreu fol
low according to age. The little dark-eyed
man opposite to the Baron Von 11 ,
one of the masters of cerei"o at Uerlin.
ile owns a neighboring estate, and has
ridden over to supper. His manner might
perhaps betray his calling ; but when be
opens his lips to a continual silvery ripple
of compliments, one is no longer left in
doubt. It is only the glimpse he gives us
of the meeting of the three emperors last
summer which compensates us forlistcniug
to his flatteries. The young lady "of six
teen who sits at his right is the Countess
Von K . She has a sweet face, lady
like manners, and often lights up her sur
rounding by a flash of wit. But such taste
in dress 1 The Bhort-waisted back falls
hopeless and dejected over the rupture iu
the friendship between it and the skirt, and
the short sleeves do their utmost to cover
the large ru tiled wristbands but fail iu the
charitable attempt. It fires the American
imagination to read of barons and countes
ses, but when we come to see them, how
the Republican irreverence does run riot !
Wc can think of several gentlemen in cer
tain little New England villages to whom
the baron would not dare to hold his can
dle if he realized what he was about, aud
of many a young lady whose mind is as
well stored and whose back fits better than
that of the countess. Yes, girls, "a rose
by any other name" smells just as sweet.
It need be only a genuine rose.
When supper is over we all rise from the
table and shake hands and say, "Gesegnete
Mahlzeitl" which, being interpreted,
means "May the meal be blessed to you !"
The daughters luake a low courtesy and
kiss the back of their father's hand ; he
bends over and kisses their foreheads.
This ceremony is performed after each
meal; and when the family is hirge it is
quite an undertaking to steer through it
successfully, suiting one's bow aud courte
sies to the age, sex, and stauding of the
person addressed. To the uuinitiated there
is something so comical about it that it is
impossible not to have one's sleeved full of
laughter, in spite of the loug rows of grave
ancestors shaking their heads at one from
the walls. The Germans think the Ameri
cans "must be fearfully impolite people to
rise from the table and disperse without
saying anything to each other." After
tea we gather in the study of Herr Von
U , the lord of the castle. In the
corner of the room stands the German
stove. It is built of short procelain in
this case dazzling white, aud reaching to
the top of the room, and looks more like a
family monument than a stove. In the
grate a few coals are doing what only coals
cau to make an October evening com
pensate for the loss of the June even
ings. The room has a pleasant air, but
the American eye falls with a chill of
disappointment on the bare polished brown
floor. There is not a carpet in the castle,
and but few are to bo found in Germany.
At first the uewspaper is read. No
family takes a paper for itself; usually
three or four club together for a paper, and
the consequence is that it is in the house
but a few hours, and whoever will read
must "strike while the irou is hot." From
the castle it goes to the village pastor, from
the parsonage to the cantor, or organist,
aud who comes in for the last stale bits we
do not know. The paper is read aloud,
and we hear whether it rained yesterday
in Ems when the Kaiser took his walk,
what the color of the Empress' dress was,
and with whom the Crown Prince went to
drive. Thete weighty items are devoured
with avidity by the loyal inmates of the
castle ; for all the nobility are genuine King
worshippers, and can speak only with dis
gust of the equalizing tendencies of the age.
"We are often pitied because we live in a
land "too poor to have a King ;" but we
always decline sympathy on that score, and
remark that our land is so rich that we are
all kings nud queens. After the reading
the gentlemen betake themselves to cards,
aud the ladies to knitting. After the
Feminine Germany is a maniac on the sub
ject of stockings. The desire for them
amounts to a passion. A lady told us a
few days since that iu her "outfit" she
had two hundred aud fifty pairs. How
these people endure to knit three hundred
and sixty-five evenings in a year, (Sundays
is not excepted) is beyond our comprehen
sion ; but the knitting work seems as in
dispensable to the band of a German lady
as the pipe or cigar does to the lips of her
husband, and they think the American
ladies the most useless cumberers of the
ground because "they do not even knit
their own stockings." This evening we
amuse ourselves with the "Haseuwette,"
or "chasing the hare."
We all begin knitting together, and
counting the rounds. The one who lias
finished the first round calls out one, she
who finishes the next calls out two, and so
on till twelve are knit. The one who says
twelve must be the hare. She must now
knit alone, but has the privilege of count
ing on from twelve, while the rest of us
must go back again and begin at one, and
see how soon they can catch her. The
needles fly, aud the counts come thick aud
fast from the pursuers, while the hare
counts steadily on alone. Woe to her who
drops a stitch, or must stop to narrow, or
"slip and bind." The chase grows hotter
and more exciting as the hunters near the
prey, the counting and laughing grow
louder, and the gentlemen lay down their
cards and cheer, sometimes the pursurer
and sometimes the pursued, until the vic
tim is caught and rejoiced over. The hare
reached ber huudreth rouud before we three
hunters caught her. But we must pluck a
few of her laurels out by saying that she
was at the toe of her stocking, while the
rest of us were in the largest part of the
leg.
The countess is knitting from a "Wun
der Knauel," or "wonder ball." It was
presented to her on her last birthday, and
ia made by putting in all sorts of little
knick-knacks as the ball is wound. These
arc done up in papers, and the ball pre
sents enough mysterious angles and points
to excite the most torpid curiosity. Surely
if anything could induce one to knit, it
would be the thought of developing the re
sources of one of these balls. We all look
on with the deepest interest as one little
package after another loosens itself from
the last confining thread and falls out.
Now it is a chocolate drop, now a little
box with a pretty ring in it, then a pair of
tiny embroidery scissors, and so on till the
heart of the wonder is reached, which is
often a gold watch or some other long
coveted treasure. We regard the "Hasen
wctte" aud "Wundtr Knauel" as merciful
little inventions to help one over the intol
erable platitude of a long cotton stocking. ,
But we are reminded that the evening is
passing by the horn of the watchman, who
at ten o'cloc-K oegins nis mgutly walk about
the great isolated pile of buildings which
for eight hundred years has been the scene
of the joys and sorrows of the family of
Von It . As the hours come round
he pauses at each of the four sides of the
castle and blows his trumpet, and in a
weird and monotonous voice sings the fol
lowing verse :
"Lis", my lords, the while I say
The hour of teu has passed away.
Look ye well to lire aud light,
Lest barm befall the house to-night
And praise th Lord your God !"
The 8 wallow-tailed genius appears again,
and announces that the baron's horse is
at the door. The courtier literally bows
himself from the presence of the ladies to
the back of his horse. After this ceremony
is over the servant brings in the candles,
we shake bauds and say "Schlafen sie
whol," the daughters kiss the fathers hand,
he kisses their foreheads, and the company
breaks up, with perhaps a mischievous
blowing out of one or two of the candles as
we pass each other for the last time.
The Ciootl Fellow.
We wonder if "The Good Fellow" ever
mistrusts his goodness, or realizes how
selfish, how weak, how unprincipled, and
how bad a fellow he truly is. He never
regards the consequences of his acts as they
relate to others, and especially those ot Ins
familv friends. Little fits of generosity to
wards them are supposed to atone for all
his misdeeds, while he inrlicts upon them
the disgraces, inconveniences, aud burdens
which attend a selfishly dissolute life. The
invitation of a friend, the taunts of good-
natured boon companions, the temptations
of jolly fellowship, these are enough toover
cotne all his scruples, if he has any scruples,
and to lead him to ignore all the possible
results to those who love him best, and who
must care for him iu sickness and all the
unhappy phases of his selfish life.
The Good Fellow is notoriously careless
of his family. An outside friend cau lead
him whither-soever ha will into debauch
ery, idleness, vagabondage. He can ask
a favor, aud it is done. He cau invite him
into disgrace, and he goes. He can direct
him into a job of dirty work, and he
straightway undertakes it. He can tempt
him into and indulgence which may suit
his vicious whims, and, regardless of wife,
mother, sister, who may be shortened in
their resources so as legitimately to claim
his protecting baud, regardless of honor
able father and brother, he will spend his
money, waste his time, aud make himself
a subject of constant aud painful anxiety,
or an uumitigated nuisance to those alone
who care a straw for him. What pay does
he receive for this shameful sacrifice ? The
honor of being considered a "Good Fellow,"
with a set of men who would not spend a
cent for him if they should see him starving,
and who would laugh over his calamities.
When he dies in the ditch, as he is most
likely to die, they breathe a sigh over the
swill they drink, and say, "after all, he was
a Good Fellow."
The feature of the Good Fellow's case
which makes it well nigh hopeless, is, that
he thinks he is a Good Fellow. He thinks
that his pliable disposition, his readiness to
do other good fellows a service, and his
jolly ways, atone for all his faults. His
love of praise is fed by bis companions, ana
thus his self-complacency is nursed. (Juite
unaware that his good fellowship is the re
sult of his weakness ; unaware that his
sacrifice of honor, and the honor and peace
of his family, for the sake of outside praise
is tlit offspring of the most heartless sel

fishness, quite unaware that his disregard
of the interests and feelings of those who
are bound to him by the closest ties of
blood, is Ihe demonstration of his utterly
unprincipled character ; he curries as un
ruirled. or a jovial frout, while hearts bleed
or break around him. Of all the scamps
society knows, the traditional good fellow
is the most despicable. A man who for
the sake ofhis owu selfish deligliU, or the
sake of the praise of careless or unprin
cipled friends, makes his home a scene of
anxiety and torture, and degrades and dis
graces all who are associated with him in
his home life, is, whether he knows it or
not, a brute. If a man cannot be loyal
to bis home, and to those who love him,
then he cannot be loyal to anything that is
good. There is something mean beyond
description, in any man who cares more
for anything in this world than the honor,
the confidence, and love of his family.
There is something radically wroug in such
a man, and the quicker, and the more
thoroughly he realizes it, in a humiliation
which bends him to the earth in shame and
confusion, the better for liim. The tradi
tional good fellow is a bad fellow from the
crown of bis head to the sole of his foot.
He is as weak as a baby, vain as a peacock,
selfish as a pig, and as unprincipled as a
thief. He has not one redeeming trait upon
which reasonable self-respect can be built
and braced.
Give us the bad fellow, who stands by
his personal and family honor, who sticks
to his owu, who does not "treat" his friends
while his home is in need of the money he
wastes, and who gives himself no indul
gence of good fellowship at the expense of
duty ! A man with whom the approving
smile of a wife, or mother, or sister, does
not weigh more than a thousand crazy
bravos of boou companions, is just no man
at all. Dr. J .G. Holland, in Scribnerts
for June.
Dtjnkahd Peculiarities. The fol
lowing is from the St. Louis Republican's
report of proceedings by the National Con
ference of Dunkers, a religious sect, at
Girard, Illinois, last week :
Then came a question with reference to
the manner in which the beard should be
worn, which elicited a lengthy discussion,
and it wns decided that wearing the beard
in fashionable style was contrary to the doc
trines of the church, and that the brother
hood Bhould be very careful not to imitate
the ways of the world in this respect It
has ever been the order of the church to
wear a lull beard, but To wear a mous
tache only is not permissible, and renders
the offending brother liable to church dis
cipline. It was recommended that the
brethren should trim the moustache short
er than the lip, that the mouth might be
clean to receive the kiss of brotherly love.
The next question discussed was, will
this meeting allow brethen, especially min
istering brethern, to engage in the banking
business ? Decided that it was improper
ior them to do so ; that the funds invested
would not be under their control,and that in
case parties to whom they should make
loans should fail to meet their indebtedness,

of law, and might, therefore, be the means
of depriving the widow and orphan of
homes, which is contrary to their belief ; that
banks often loan money at high rates of in
terest, which is usury.and therefore uuscrip
tural, has a tendency to make them covetous
aud lead them into temptation ; that the bro
therhood should keep their property under
their own control, so that they can use it
for the spiritual and temporal good of man
kind. They are permitted to loan at the
legal rates of interest in the several States,
and never to take a greater per cent All
brethren were advised to be very careful
what kinds of business they engaged in,
especially railroads and banks.
The question of collegiate education was
next discussed, and it was decided th:.t it
was cot advisable to give their children
such, as it would have a tendency to lead
them astray from Christian simplicity and
primitive doctrines, and thereby create dis
cord in the Church.
Laqer Beer. The Rev. Thomas K.
Beecher says in The Elmira Gazette, that
he has never known a case of habitual
drunkenness to result from the use of lager
beer. He recommends the appointment
in every city of an 'unimpeachable inspec
tor of all brewerages offered for sale, and
inexorable condemnation of the deleteri
ous.' When this is done, he continues,
'we shall theu probably have gone as far
as it is possible for human society to go in
protecting its members against bad habits.
In this direction it would seem as if time
aud labor and money would be well ex
pended. Profoundly satisfied that slimu
lus has a salutary part to play in Christian
civilization, and that alcohol is nature's
readiest and most universal stimulus, the
problem would seem to be so to use it as to
gain from it all the good that can be gain
ed and avoid all the evil, holding fast to
the double truth found in scripture, 'Wine
is a mocker, stroug drink is raging, and
whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.'
Also, 'Give 6troug drink unto him that is
ready to perish, and wine unto those that
be of heavy hearts.' And this : 'Let your
moderation be known uuto all meu.'
Nellie Grant's Marriage Certifi
cate. The certificate of the marriage of
Nellie Grant is engrossed upon parchment,
in connection with five other documents.
On the upper left-hand corner of the sheet
is a copy of the license, written in a plaiu
bold hand, and empowers any minister of
the Gospel to marry Algernon Sartorts to
Nellie Grant Below this is the clergy
man's certificate that he has married them.
Ou the upper right-baud corner the clerk
of the court certifies that he gave the li
cense. Below this the judge of the court
identifies the clerk. Still lower the Chief
Justice identifies the judge, and last, the
Secretary of State certifies to the existence
and official character of the Chief Justice.
Thus in all there are not less than six cer
ticates engrossed upon the sheet This
document was rendered necessary by the
law of primogeniture of England, and will
be deposited in the archives of the court in
the parish in which the happy couple re
side. They had determined to live in this
country, but the death of Sartoris' elder
brother and the consequent entailment of
a large property, renders his presence
across the water neccessary.

An Absent-Minded Minister.-A fun
ny mistake occurred the other day through
the forgetfulness of a distinguished clergy
man of this city. The cards were out for
a wedding to take place at his chuicb. The
day the hour, and the bridal party arrived,
the church wps filled with- invited guests,
but the officiating clergymau was no where
to be seen. The impatient bride and
groom waited for half an hour ; the bride
begau to feel a superstitious dread of she
knew not what ; the groom, strong-minded,
only felt annoyance. What was to be
done ? Patience had ceased to be a virtue.
At last a clergyman of another denomina
tion, who was sitting among the guests,
was observed. He was Bent for, and kind
ly consented to perform the ceremony. The
knot was tied to the satisfaction of all par
ties, and the fee handed over to the minis
ter who had proven Buch a great benefac
tor. The money, however he sent to the
clergyman who was to have performed the
ceremony, with this note : 'This is an egg
I found in your nest As I didn't cackle
ate upon it, I send it back to you. The
reason of the absence of the engaged cler
gyman was a very simple one he had for
gotten all about the appointment
It is important for people who suspect
others of dishonesty, and are determined
not to be cheated, to beware lest they cheat
themselves. One of this sort caught him
self not long ago.
An amusing scene occurred in the great
city of B between a coal dealer and a
purchaser. The latter person being very
anxious to see that ha was not cheated in
weight, inspected the weigher of the coal
himself, and felt satisfied that he had his
full allowance without any desire on the
part of the coal dealer to 'shave.' Howev
er, while the coal was on the scales, the
driver of the team could not help laughing,
aware at the time the purchaser was par
ticular about his full weight
The purchaser, noticing the laughter,
asked the driver what it was all about, so
the driver answered, 'Why, when your
coal was weighiug you were standing on
the scales, and was weighed with it
'Is it possible? Why, I weigh nearly
two hundred pounds. :
'Well, sir,' said the driver, 'you are
sold.'
'Yes,' was the reply, 'and I have bought
myself too.'
Rem a hk able Lakes. Ou the lop of a
ridge of mountains in Portugal, called Es
tralla, are two lakes of great extent and
depth, especially one of them, which is said
to be unfathomable. What is chiefly re
markable in them is, that they are calm
when the sea is so, and rough when that is
stormy. It is, therefore, probable that
they have a subterranean communication
with the ocean ; and this seems to be con
firmed by the pieces of ships thrown up,
though almost forty miles from the sea.
There is another extraordinary lake in
that country, which, before a storm, is said
to make a frightful rumbling noise, this
may be heard at a distance of several miles.
And we are also told of a pool or fountain,
sailvd ICI YKUCIUS, fum UiITC3
from Coimbria, that absorbs not only wood,
but the lightest bodies thrown into it, such
as cork straw, feathers, etc., which sink to
the bottom and are never seen more. To
these we may add a remarkable circum
stance is, that in summer it throws np wa
ter enough to turn several mills, and in
winter is perfectly dry.
A Ccrious "Ad." The following cu
rious advertisement is clipped from the

Weak a Smile. Which will you do
smile and make others happy, or be crab
bed and make every body around you mis
erable ? You can live as it were among
beautiful flowers and singing birds, or in
the mire, surrounded by frogs. The
amount of happiness you can produce is
incalculable if you will show a smiling
face and a kind heart, aud speak pleasant
words ; with a fretful disposition, you can
make a number of persons wretched almost
beyond endurance, let joy beam in your
eyes, aud love glow in your face. There
are few so great as that which springs from
a kind act or a pleasaut deed, and you may
feel it at night when you rest, at morning
when you rise, and through the day when
about your daily business.
A smile ! who will refuse a smile,
The Aortowiog breast to cheer, -And
turn to love the heart of guile
And check the falling tear (
A pleasaut smile for erery face,
Oh, 'tis a blessed thing !
It will the lines of care erase,
And thoj-e of beauty bring.
About Eels. The aggregate shoals of
eels, about to ascend inland streams, move
up the shore of the river in the form of a
long, dark, rope like body, in shape not
unlike an enormous specimen of the ani
mals which compose it On reaching the
first tributary, a portion, consisting of the
number of eels adequate for peopling this
stream, detach themselves from the main
body, and pass up ; and in the subsequent
onward passage of the shoal this marvel
lous system of detaching, on reaching the
mouth of brooks, a proportionate quantity
of the great advencing swarm is repeated,
until the entire nomber has been suitably
provided with rivulets to revel it such
being the wonderful instinct by witch na
ture ordains that each stream shall be pro
vided with a competent uoniber of these
migrator creatures.
