OaL 9th, 1866, Lovers of Nature I No doubt you feel im pelled to take another jaunt into the genial woods while the beauty of summer is fast wan ing and the last queen of flowers departing.— Well in .doing so you deserve credit for good taste. What spot on earth seerds'better adapt ed for the interchange of pure thoughts of af fection between kindred minds. But I am di gressing, building castles you know is vracti cal work. So then away with poesy or if you please sentimentality. What I offer you are only a few simple di rections for painting In 'a novel style with col orsl furnished y nature. It may give fresh In terest for a alk among the evergreen pines.— An intimate lend presenting, them, suggested to me to try the experiment, I now give the same hint to you. True lovers of nature have sympathies and aspirations In common and thus prove sure and lasting friends, I need not add however, that to those whose highest sense of the, aim and object of life consists in making money, such occupation will appear very trif-, ling and simple indeed. "A square piece of drawing paper, on which a sky is sketched with colored crayons is ready for the expeeintextt, a bit of mildewed cornhusk, soaked a little l and fastened by dissolved gum to the paper makes an excellent representatittn of water. A few dry leaves of a dark &dor from the fore-ground their jagged edges Ob truding into the Mimic lake like irregular shores. The delicate mosses to be toutid in the woods, gray, brown and dark green, dried and fresh, stuck upon the leaves, represent herbage of a variety of tints, and admit of shading in its an artistic a manner as ; [moil painting. In some woods the .varigated hues of the mess are exquisitely adapted fee the pur pose. . .. If a promontory is formed by the point of a leaf projecting into the :water, a tree on it would be a picturesque object. A little branch ed twig may be fastened to the paper, and bits of rich green mossy bark, like to the finest sea moss, which may be picked from the trunk of the pines may be separated into beautiful imi tations of foliage and fastened to the twig, these will seem to quiver and droop like the foliage of a weeping elm. A bluff may be furnished with a ruined cas tle made of a piece of bark with sand inter mixed,and crumbling moss covered turrets and windows,through which gleams the sky. Bushes and weeds may be formed by dividing the fine mosses to set out on the promontory and at the knots of the trees. A stem here and there will represent a blast ed tree, and a faded leaf a hill in the distance. In the foreground taste may be exercised with out limitation, for the materials are ample And richer than.ever painter commanded.. A. beat en highway is formed by leaving a space of the dark leaf that Was first glued to the paper, this• may be embellished by a rail fbnce.rnade of the long brown twigs that fall in profusion from the pine trees, generally termed "pine trash." Socha; mountains t islands,and every pictures que element of a fine landscape may be imitat ed by ,leaves of various shades ; and with'..a, few touches ,of black crayon • to, deepen the I . k . ad o w in the chasms and crevises,a beautiful picture maybe produeed,which,covered in glass and an elegant frame, will bear the palm from' the most elaborate oil painting. .Some magnif icent pieces of country 'scenery, with meadow and forest; hill and ravines, cottage and man sion house, lake and river, and other objects familiar in a view, have :been ,finished in this manner with a perfection of coloring and iihad lug not attainable by art. • What' , interest is given to a ramble in the woods? Nothing whistled past by the wind, not a bunch of spirt al grass or cup-like moss crushed by the feet; but is looked upon as a 'rich contribution to the artist's stock of cheap Material costing nothing. By such natio employment, a cheer ful and thankful spirit is encouraged, while at the same time is cultivated a taste for the beau- tiful. • CALLS Man.—A. correspondent sends us the following : Why Is a happy husband like the Atlantic cable ? . Because he is spliced to his "Heart's Con tent." 'Tis said the present success of the Ocean Telegraph was in the fact that the directors nova lost sight , of the "great end" of their un dertaking:from the start. The greatest "wire puller" of modern times Cyrus W. Field. On the arrival of the Great Eastern at New foundland the sailors unanimously declardd that the whole thing was "played out," and during the passage they held an indignation meeting, at which loud shouts of "Down with the Cable" were heard. Shall we call Mr. Field an aristocrat because lie is so proud of his "connections?" "Dear me," said Mrs, Gundy, "and so they put Telegraph poles all the way 'cross the ocean. I shouldn't wonder if they tried a pon toon bridge next."—.N 1': Post. 1A friend relates the following : A young lady having purchased an assortment of music at a music store, on returning to her carriage, recollected a piece she had neglected, to buy. "Sir," said she on re-entering the store. "There is one thing which I had forgotten and which I must now request you to give to me." "And: what is that ?" asked the young music-seller. "It is, sir, 'One Kind Kiss Before Are Part.' " She meant the song of that ilcune. 'The gay youth vaulting instantaneously 'over the coun ter sainted the fairstranger.

True, some of them have turned in to "gentlemen" before theirtime I and there are others who will look off in another direction if they hear anybody, called "Boy I" It is no dis grace to be, or to have been, a' boy ; and the male human being who tries to jump into man hood, skipping the boy part of his existence,-is sure to make a stilted entrance into a sort of fhppish gentility, in which the fine gentlemn IA so much thought of that the true matt is forgotten. Our talk just now will be about "WHAT ABU YOU GOOD roil?" I was talking with a rich man about his eon, who had asked rue to got him'a situation as clerk: The old gentleman seemed Inclined to say very little about the lad, but remarked: "lie won't snit--he won't suit." Anxious to know Why hg wouldn't suit, I ask' ed what was the matter with hhn 1 to - "Igtter ?" said the old gent e au, it what a the Matter with him . ? Why, he isn't' good for any thing—=thet's what's the matter. with him ; and, I tell you, I wouldn't give a sixpence for a wag on-load of such fellows." ' • Humiliating as it was for the •grufr old man to growl out such a description of his own son, it was a perfect photograph of the youngster's character. Good for nothing. Educated to look for a fortune at his father's death, but not taught the first particle of duty as to managing it so as to make himself useful with it, the idle fellow was so •good for nothing that no decent busbies , man would care about having him in his esta dishment: Mit was be not good for anything at.all ?.. Yes—he was good fur a cus tomer to the dealers in fine boots, hats, and clothing; to the sellers of tobacco, and perhaps of "fancy drinks ;" to the men at whose billiard tables he spent his fathers money. He could &Ince nicely 2 he could take the girls who had no better sense than to go with such an empty. head, to church, to the opera, and to walk along the street. He could gracefully wear an elegant stove-pipe, nicely fitting clothes of most fashion able out, and shiny boots of such exquisite fit as to pinch his toes and raise a larger "corn. crop' , on his tender feet than ever be will raise by handwork in tilling the earth, or by brain work in directing others in agriculture. Some day his father will die, and some stupid girl, who is looking out for a rich husband, will mar ry this inefficient bit of humanity, and then they will either "live happily all their days," or else —not. Another case of a gad-kit-nothing. This morning I heard a feeble, hesitating rap at my study per, like the rap of a beggar, or a man who wants to buy old clothes. As soon as I said "Como in," a shabbnenteeldooking young man nieekly stepped in and handed me a well worn paper. Tht paper was from a distinguish ed clergyman, and certified that the bearer, the son of a deceased clergyman, was out of occu pation, and, as ho unfortunately had never been taught a trade, or any means of earning a live lihoods, was now, with his ihmily, dependent on the kindness of those who might givp him work or otherwise contribute to his support. "What kind of work can you do 4" "Well nothing in particular." • "What would you like to try 7" "I don't know" "Is there any kind of businims that you un derstand 7" "No !? Poor fellow! Wife and two or three chil. dfon dependent on. "his.. exertions." Mechan ics, copyists; laborers, skilled and unskilled, needed, at good wages, In ;ivory. department of industry; but no place vacant for.the man who "don't know how to do'anything.'". Away ho goes on his, weary rounds, with his thumbed pa per. a sauntering monument to the neglect nt his parents to teach him, or to his own negli gence iii failing• to learn sonmthing to make him a self•supporting member of. society! . Hardly anybody will turn him away witho.tt giving him at least, a little alms but what a pity it is that a young man who lie doing something useful, ego hot, juit beelinse lib '‘don't know how. These two cases are widely different; but the result is the same. One loung man, probably a little dissipated, with the^ prospect of becom ing considerably more so ; the otheri pious, and, very likely, really doing the beat he knows how to do. Put a shipload of such folks on an Isl and, no Matter how fertile, and the• whole com pany would Soon starve to death and become food for the. more energetic carrion crows. Now, boys, are you good for something use ful? rhat can you do? What are you look ing forward to? It may seem fine to be born "with a golden spoon In your mouth I" but if 'you indolently, sit. with the spoon there, neither L yon no.. : the soon will make any useful stir in ;the world, acidthe world will be no better for lour having been born into it. It is a favorite notion of Eiotne very large six jed,homthat our free country one, boy has a 8 good a chance ,of being . President as the next :boy; which is a 'correct, notion ; but it is also Mlle that the boy . ; Who neglects advantages and iduties in his early life, will be thesman, who, if ;accidentally ,elevatod , to the Presidential choir, ior any other chair, will find himself lit . only for !the chairs ,(tilied up on, their , hind legs,) on which the loafers idle their time around a coun trY tavern; . What are you good for? Something useful and noble, let us hope. If you have never ask ed yonitielf the question, ask it now. If you have bOn ti"no account sort" of fellow, turn over a now leaf and try to do something, not merely . to getomough to eat, drink, and wear but to honor the Qed who has made• you, and to adern the nation in which He has placed you. --Phrenological Journal. A CosTLY Irreg.—According to the Internal Revenue statistics, there are now annually con. Burned, in the United States, about forty-five million gallons of spirituous liquors—riqual to one arid a • half gallons for every man, woman child. The wolesale 'price of the commonest article of whiskey is now in the neighborhood of $2.25 per gallon.: • The retailers adreit that they realize tt profit of one hundred per cent. on their sales, and, admitting that they tell the whole truth, which is not probable, • the sum paid by "consumers" must be at least $4.50 per gallon. But it is really much more than that, for it is only the poorest class of drinkers who indulge in the cheapest article of whiskey. But allowing that $5 per gallon is the average cost consumers pay for spirituous liquors—a sum probably too low by half—that would give, as the annual sum devoted to such liquors by the people of this country, two hundred million dol tars. But that is not all. The expenditure Tor ale, lager beer, porter,-bitters; and other liquors that do not belong to the first class, must be added to the said two' hundred million. It would be difficult to reach a satisfactory estimate upon the latter class of liquors, but it is quite prehe at& that they bring the aggregate expenditure to very nearly.three hundred millions. And what do the consumers get in return for this vast expenditure? It leads them to dissi pation, debauchery and financial ruin; it brings want and suffering upon their families; it in duces depravity, vice and crime; and it leads, through mental, moral, and physical prostration —to untimely death.
