“ El Dorado.'
The New York Day Book gives the fold
lowing as the origin of this term:—
~ The early Spanish explorers of South
America brought back, among other wonder
'fu I tales, a story of a country in the mteriot
of Guinea, where gold was mid to be so
plenty that the only dress of the king was a
thick layer of - the precious metal;—a real
'body coat'—'skin- tight,' put on- without
measuring, or c utti ng, or stitching—but thus i
His majesty's naked carcass was carefully
smeared, every morning, with an unctuous
substance, and was then heavily poWdered
with gold dust until no more would stick to
it ; and he was then in full dress, making
a very brilliant and dazzling 'appearance
when the sun shone upon the sparkling sur
face. This (as the story goes) was all scrap::
ed off every night, and thrown away as''old
cloths,' not being valued there there Was
so much gold that was'nt at all greasy. This
distinguished personage and 'eminently shin%
ing character' was properly called by the
Spaniards 'The Gilded One,' which is, in
the Spanish landuage, 'EI Dorado.' (El,
'he,' Dorado, 'gilded' or 'gilt.') • And the
fabulous country was known in Europe as
the land of the 'gilded one,' and was so much
talked of and believed in by the English;
that the sage Sir Walter Raleigh once fitted
out an expedition to go to it; but of hap.:
p . ening to find it,concealed himself piracy

was beheaded many years afterwards, and
very unjustly by the king who commissioned
him to do it
True Friendship.
Perhapafriendship is the most sensative
of all affections; the first doubt—the - fiat
neglect--the first seeking of another for that
sympathy which we thought it our owa spe
cial privilege to give—these are moments
which burn their traces cm •the heart, and
leave a scar, which though it may possess
the dubious advantage of callousness to fu
ture impressions, inflicts agony ere its hard
ness. And to such wounds •friendship is
especi liable. Love confers an equality;
wheth •r r al or imaginary ; there is a bal
ance of mg, 'ts vary essence is reciptco
sated.. But !nen hips are fer the most part
Ones . 1, existing etween• persons whose
clitivi ers ate dis liar; either fundamen
tally or in the aspect they present to each
other. The keen tenderness, the watchflil
reverence, the fear, the passion; are not
equally divided, and much must he suffer
L
in whom they predomi te ; much must he
forbear, long must he persevere, ere the
bond of full and pe4ec confidence is final•
ly established. But if ere be indeed that
bidden basis of sympathy, ' nt Which no
true, friendship is concejveable, it is well
worth the struggle ; for the reward shall
overpay the labor.—Forbearance, trustfal
ness, hopeon these three pillars may the
temple be reared-I;dd if one of these fail;
especially if the second fail, there will be
nothing but a shapeless ruin ! '
Moral Instruction.
My idea of the true method of moral in
struction in a school is to secure, first, a man
of virtuous life and of sound and well reap
sorted principles for a teacher. His School
should be a model of order, his requisitions
all reasons:l)le and commended., by clear and
weighty considerations, to the understanding
and conscience of his pupil. A very short
and simple prayer, or if the t • •ch • r deed
not feel authorized to lead in., rayer,
of ~,,4
alit \
- scriptures read either by himself O . '
tit z
school, should open the exercises of the
day. •
In the course of the day, some vice or
virtue, some principle of action, should be
defined, and treated in few words, but so as
to tix attention and awaken thought in the
members of the school. And above all;
should there he in the person of the master
himself, an example of the precepts he en:
joins, and a hearty, earnest interest in the
promotion of virtue, a.sincere delight in no:
Ede character, a real passion for moral excel=
lence, for generous, patriotic, honorable ac
tion.
I cannot imagine that such discipline
should fail to commend itself to all right
minded persons, or to encourage in our
childrens right principles and our virtuous
habits.
