How to Memd the Timul. —Tit o Leban
on Courier submits an admirable plan
to mend the tlinee, and one which we
especially commend to the patrons of
newpapera. h says : " The . hard
tirriet' now prevailing are in n groat
degree attributable to 'a want of
confidence.' Wo know how confi
dence car. be restored, and it is thus:
Lot every one who owes the printer pay
right up. This will satisfy tho,priuter
that, money is plenty. lie will tell his
readers. His readers will be convinced.
Money will again be in cireutettion, and
alt will be well again. So, you that
owe the printer, come right along and
fork up. Patriotism now dainands it;
and he that is deaf to the calls of his
country, is a sinner, indeed."

Tim Way Is la WaY/07,
A story Is related• of tyro travellers in
Lapland, which throws 'more light on
the art of being happy than a whole
volanietif proverbs and a phorisms.
t7pon a very cold day in winter they
were driving along in a sledge, wrapped
in furs from head to foot. Even their
feces • were Homely covered, and you
qt2l4,bardly see anything but their eye
bkowsi, and these were white and glis
tening with trait.
'At length they saw a poor man who
had minket/ down benumbed and frozen
is the snow.
44 We meet stop and help him," said
one of the trnverlers.
"Btop and help!" replied the other;
.(!you will never think of stopping such
a day U this! We are half•fruzAAn our
goelies,,,and ought to be at our jour
ney?oand ab 'moot as possible."
"Vet I ratmot leave this man to
perfth,'-, trjoined the more humane
traveller, "I must go to his relief," and
tief ,itoppd the sledge.
';Come," said he, "come, and help me
to raise him."
•" Diet, , I," replied the other, "I have
'too much regard for my own life to ex
pose myself to this freezing atmosphere
'Mort than is necessary. I will sit here,
and keep myself as warm as I can till
you come back."
Boahying, he resolutely kept his seat;
while his companion hastened to relieve
the perishing man, whom they had so
providentinlly discovered. The ordi
tray means were used for restoring
consciousness; but the traveller was
KO latent upon saving the life of a fel
low ereature, that he forgot his own ex
posure, and what were the consequen
oes;? Why the very efforts which he
thistle to warm the stranger, warmed
lirtudelf. He had the sweet conscious
mess or doin g a benevolent act, and he
found himself glowing from head
to foot, by reason of the exertions which
he had Made. And how was it, with
his eompaniun, who was so much afraid
of exposing himself? Ho was almost
ready to Peeze, notwithstanding the ef
forts he had been making to keep him
warm.
The lesson to be derived from this
little incident is obvious.
Sere+ Contest.
.lft wan the remark of o Roman eon-
Sal', or
. 1 Greek dramatist, (it's h 0 mat
tor...whip/a) .that "contentment is tho
last and most difficult of human acqui
sitions.". Give a man fame, and ho
worths wealth. Give him wealth, and
he *ants fame. Give him both, and
'he wants repose. In the midst of ern
ployti.:ient he sighs for rest. In idleness
and,sassi be sighs fur the pleasures of
solitude. In solitude he longs fur a
companion to help him to enjoy it.—
And.so it goes. Nothing less than the
most opposite and contradictory sitna
tions can answer the demands of the
human heart in its search fur happi
neas---and then, were they pos:ible, it
would be discontented! 'he absurdity
of many a man's. many a woman's de
sires, is finely illustrated in the follow
ing anecdote of a child:
"A little girl of six years of age, On
s visit to the city, fresh from the woods
Rid wilds. was one day asked by her
aunt— , how she liked the oonntry r
'Oh, ma'am,' replied the girl - , looking
her questioner full in the face, 'oh,
ma'am, I'd like the country very well
if it.was only in the city.'"
That's the way with all of us, is it
not ?
A D ilesia am.
The &flowing example of nicety of
conscienve is as good a jest as it is a
model of truth. Dr. Adam Clarke, the
great Bible commentator, on being ad
mitted into 11111 connexion, was asked;
as usual, certain questions.—Among
others always propounded before ad
mission, is the following: " Are you in
debt 7" Through rather a whimsical
incident, this question was likely to
have puzzled and non-plassed Mr.
Clarke. Walking in the street that
morning with another preacher, a poor
man asked a halt penny. Mr. C. had
none. but borrowed one from the preach
er who was walking with birn. That
preacher happened to go out of town,
and lie could not see him to repay this
smell. sum. When by stood np with
the others, he knew hot what to say
when the question," Are you in debt?"
should be proposed. He thought "If
I say I am in debt, they will ask me
hew ranch? When I ray I owe one
half-penny, they will naturally suppose
me to be a pet. 'lf I Bay I sin not in
debt, thls will be a lie; for I owe one
halfpenny, and am as truly under the
0414/glen to !my as if the sum were
twenty pounds, and while I owe. that., I
casinos eonsiatoutly with eternal truth s
say, I tun not in debt" He was now
most completely within the horus of *
dilemma, and which to take he knew
not; and the question being put to him
before he could tasks up , his miud—
"Mr. Clarke, are you in debt t"—tie
dissolved the diffioalty• in a moment,
by answering Not earpouty."
