vigor to great endowments, and oft engages

of its aspirants is untiring and universal.

and an ultimatum sought for which in real

eat objects may allay other desires, but an
increasing love of fame, produces only in
pleasure which excites new projects in the
mind, and urges the weary body to attempt
their occomplishment. But, ns Ambition

I'd like• to sea myself stooping to any such

I wouldn't consult the almanac every
time she bought a new bonnet, to see just
how many weeks she had worn the old
one ; and I wouldn't snarl like a croon ti

wasted her to abase herself in dust and

language when she asked rue to button op

It is alnays well to avoid saying every

so before children, And here parents, us

they are generally niece attentive to what

are very apt to repeat ; and as they have
no discretion. and not sufficient knowledge

generally found that •children and fools

asked,
'Are you not glad to see me, George V
'No, sir,' replied the boy.
'\Vhy not, my little min?'

said George.

A boy once asked one of his father's
guests who it wns that lived next door to

'Because,' replied the boy, 'mother sold

PRESIDENTIAL HAIR.-111 the Patent Of
fice at Washington, there are many objects
of interest connected with the government,
and those who administered its affairs in
times gone by. While examining some of
these objects at curiosity, when in Wash
ington in December last, there was • noth
ing that strut ‘ us so forcibly as the sum•
plea, or small locks of tutu taken from the
heads of difTerrnt chief magnstrates. from
Washington down to Pr , silent Pierce,
secured in a (raise covered wah glass.
Here is, in fact a part and parcel of what
once constituted the living bodies of those
illustrious individuals, whose names are
as familiar as household words, but who
now live only in history and the remem
brance of the past. The hair of Wash
ington is of n pure white, fine and suiNih
in its appearance. That of John Adams
is naarly the same color, though a tittle
coarser• The hair of Jefferson is of a dif
orent character, being a mixture of white
and auburn, or a sandy brown, and rather
cots roe. In his youth. Mr. Jefferson's hair
was remarkable fur its bright color, The
hair of Madison is coarse, and of a mixed
whir• and dark. 'The hair of Monroe is a
handsoine dark auburn, smooth and free
;coin any admixture whatever. De is the
only President except Pierce, whose hair
had undergone no change in color. Thp
hair ofJohn Quincy Adams is some what
peculiar, being course, and of yellowish
gray color. The hair of 'etieral Jackson
is almost a perfect white but coarse in
its character, as might ho supposed by
those who have examined the portraits of
the old hero. Tha hair of Van Iluren is
white in oppearanc t. The hair of Gene' ,
Jackson is a fino whit:, with a slight ad•
mixture of black. The hair of John Tyler
is a mixture of white ana brown. 'rite
hair of James K, Polk is almost a pure
white. The hair of General Taylor is
white, with a slight admixture of brown.
•I'he hair of Milliard Fillmore, is, on the
other baud, brown, with a slight ndii.ixt are

should be as willing to be actually enga

you a thousand dollars, will you argue any
oiher in which you might be employed?"

hundred dollars beyond what he hnd patd;
