Where neither passions come, nor woes,

And miles we know are true,

But, oh, if thou who cluster round

STARTING IN THE WORLD.—Many an
unwise parent labors hard and lives spar
ingly all his life for the purpose of leaving
enough to give his children a start in the
world, as it is called. Setting a young
man afloat with , money left him by his re
latives is like tying bladders under the
arm of one who cannot swim ; ten chan
ces to one he will lose his bladders and go
to the bottom. Teach him to swim, and
he will not need the bladder. Give your
child a sound education, and you have
done enough for him. See to it that his
morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and
his whole nature made subservient to the
la ws which govern man,aud you have given
what will be of snore value than the wealth
'of the Indies. You have given him a start
which no misfortune can deprive him of.
The earlier you teach him to depend upon
his own resources the better.

All know how that shrewd and sagacious
prince lifted his nation from a state.of
semi-bubarism, during the course of a
single generation, into the position of one
of the great powers ofEurope. ' The prin
ciples which governed hlm,, his eucces
sore, with the exception of dullinfertuna ts
Paul, appear to have blindly followed;
and a study of history will show that all
he proposed for his descendants has, to the
present day, been almost literally accom
plished. One of the clauses of this testa
ment recommended the division of Poland
by raising up, disorders and jealOutiies.:— .
This was done by, exalting Agustus of dee--
ony against Stanislaue, the protege of
Charles Xll., and the revolt was the an
nihilation of the Polish Republic. Mr

he foresaw—the dependance of one-half

ants. The czar enjoined that the alliance
of Austria and England should be careful.
ly sought, and this hie ever been done; so
that in her time of trial, Russia was subsi
dized to the first,' and now makes use of
the last ass cat's-paw. The ninth clause
of the treaty is most singular, and theri
fore we produce it entire :
4 , 9. Do all in your power to approach
closely Constantinople and bulky. Be
i number that he who rules otter these coun
t tries is the real sovereign of the world.
I"Keep up continued wars with Turkey
and Persia. Establish dock yards in the
Black Sea. Gradually obtain the com
mand of this sea, as well as of the Baltic.
This is necessary for the entire success of
our projects: Hasten the fall of Persia.—
Open for yourselves a route towards the
Persian gulf. Re-establish, as much as
possible; by means of spit, the ancient
commerce of the Levant, and thus advance
towards India. Once there,you will not
require English gold."
This is the secret of the pertinacity with
which the Circassian war is maintained,
and of the movements towards Rhiva
which a few years since attracted so much
attention and caused so much alarm.
That protection should be extended to
all the Greek church, and a Pan-Sclavon
ic Union, are distinctly enjoined, and the
most villanous ideas and modes of proce
dare to obtain a uuiversal empire are a
vowedly inculcated. It is difficult to be
lieve that this paper , was written more
than a century ago , yet, as it is referred
to as a serious document, we are forced to
confess that it is not more strange that so
much should be foreseen, than that so much
in so short a time should be accompliahed.
One element of political power the czar
had not foreseen—the great uprising of the
people of Europe. At his day the declar
ation of the great Frenchman, that "I am
a State," was thought throughout the world
true, and he would have been a hardy, man
who had dared to deny it. Things are
changed now, for people who win liberty
will, in all probability, maintain it.
A Marina's Watai.—A certain lady
had a child which she , never allowed to be
contradicted, for fear of making him ,
sick.
Relatives, friends. and even her husband,
told her she would spoil the child, but all
was of no avail. One day she heard him
screaming in the garden. She ran and
ascertained the cause to be that the ser
vant bad refused to give him something he
wanted. “You impertinent creature," said
the mother to the servant, "not to give the
child what he wanted."
"By my troth." said the girl, "'he may

the only remedy was vigilance, which was

notoriety of this propensity..
For
For this reason, stye Mr. Sprague.
he wae.opposed to the marriage of his son.
After the marriage, it was a common re
mark in the family that they " wondered ;
whether Margaret (Mrs. Charles Sprague) •
would keep her shoes. At the death of
Mrs. Sprague the father went to , reside;
with his son. and noticed that. about a
fortnight before he left 'for the West, his
daughter-in-law remarl4rat the table that
it was "strange what had become of her
shoes." They were new ones, and were
sought for all over the house in vain. and
it was upon Mr. Sprague's tongue to say
that " their disappearance was easily RC,
counted for, unless Charles had got rid of
, hie old propensity," but he checked him
self, as the subject was an unpleasant one.
' This statement, we can well suppose, must
be painful to Mr. Sprague ; but we can
' also understand the feeling that prompted
the revelation. and the mention of,the feet
that predecessors in the family had suffer
ed temporary abberration of mind. rather
than that the charge of crime and de
' pravity should attach to Mason. The let.
ter, indeed, fully exonerates the son from
moral delinquency, for which reason wq

" Ousgtly, sir. YOu act prudently;
nobody ought to venture out into the coun
try, .sir, without taking plenty of good
wholesome medicine along with them;
that's always my advice."
Of course it was, thought Dodge. The
old medicine man fumbled in his drawers
and cases, and brought forth sundry bot
tles of various sizes and shapes, and finally
found the prescribed stuff fur coughs, over
which he duly delivered a warm warm and
thrilling eulogium; and during its delivery,
Dodge slipped a bottle of the cholera mix-
ture into his fists, pasted on the soap label,
and enveloped the bottle in one of his stray
programmes.
Well, you say this is good for colds
or coughs 1" says Dodge.
Good ? I know it's good—made it
myself—have used it in my own family
every day these forty years."
Don't tell me so!"
" Yes I do, too. and I warrant it: none
of your - 'fownsend Spars-priller, or Mrs.
Tilley's stuff, but real up and down rough
and cold curer compound," says Galen.
" Mighty small chance of it in that bot

of it," observes Dodge.
" Yes, sir, I warrant ye it's powerful
stuff on colds and the aich like," replies
Galen. •

him to pour the cements of the bottle into
