The Contented Man. Why need I strive or sigh for wealth! It. is enough for me That Heaven bath sent me strength an I health A spirit glad and free; Grateful these blessings to receive, I sing my hymn at morn and eve. On some, what floods of riches flow; House, herds and gold have they; Y ct life's best joys theyjnevcr know, But flretftlleiruourF away. The more they have they seek increase; Complaints nnd cravings never cease. A vale of tears this world they call, To me it seems so fair; It countless pleasures hath for all, An J none denied a share. Tuelittle birds on new fledged wing. And insects revel in the spring. For love of us, hills, woods nnd plains, In beauteous hues are clad; And birds sing far and near sweet strains, Caught up by echoes glad. "Rise,” sings the lark, * your tasks to ply ;” The nightingale sings “ lullaby.” And when the golden sun goes forth, And all like gold appears; When bloom o'erspreads the glowing earth, And fields have ripened ears; I think these glories that I see My kiud Creator made for me. Then loud I thank the Lord above, Audsay, in joyful mood. Unlove, indeed, is Father’s love, He wills to all men good. Then let roe ever grateful live, Enjoying all He deigns to give.

Said one ; “ Ten to one Tom, that death— A creditor hard, ’tis supposed— Holds mortgages, now, on their breath— ‘Pon honor ! I think lie’s foreclosed!

Springing to his feet, he ex claimed, “ llress de Lord dat I lit on my head! Ifdis nigger had scraped his shins so hard, I spec be broke his leg.” The ruling Passion.—An editor became martial, and was created captain. On parade, instead of two paces in front "Advance!” he unconsciously bawled out, Cash; two dollars a year in ad vance.” During the year 1854 not a single marriage occurred in the town of Dan ville, Va. The young men, no doubt, thought themselves unable to afford it in such times. An ordinary looking Newfoundland dog was offered for sale in State-street, Boston, O’t Wednesday. The price asked for him was “only one hundred dollars!” Teams are crossing the St. Lawrence river on ice for the first time this season. -A Hard Hit.—The Independent Press says:— “ It is a scripture—a fire-side one if not a biblical one—that the devil can quote scripture to suit his own purpose. We don’t know that we ever saw a better illustration of it than when the Washington Union quotes scripture against the Know-Nothings Old Chanticleer awakes in the morn ing, flaps his wings, vociferates at the top of his voice r t Woman rules h-e-r-e !’ Immeniately, a neighboring rooster answers. ‘ So they do h-e-r-e 1’ This is no sooner uttered, than a third responds, at a considerable distance, ‘ So they do everyw-h-e-r-e !’ In this woman’s rights era it is significant; for the old chanti cleer is a keen observer, and knows. A Washington letter says that the opinion is gaining ground that the qua lified independence of the Sandwich Is lands, protected by the United States, is the best situation in which they can be placed. A company of colored Thespians ar e in successful operation in Cincinnati. They performed Romeo and Juliet on Tuesday evening. The Forlorn Hope op Ladies.— Expecting an old sweetheart to marry you on tire death of his third wife. One master of a well regulated house is more beneficial to the State than a hundred political dedaimers. ‘Labor is honorable,’ says the Boston Post. It may he honorable, but it is mighty inconvenient, when the thermo meter is about 90 in the shade. Nothing L accounted so proper in this country as property. Why can a person cook eggs sooner in England than in America? Because in England all that he has to do is to steal them, and they immediately become poached eggs. A Female writer says: ‘Nothing looks worse on a lady than darned stock ings.’ Allow us to observe that stock ings which need darning look much worse than darned ones—darned if they don’t! The reason there is so frequently a •‘screw loose some where,”is because the “screws” are generally put to individu als of loose habits. Sir Walter Scott does not appear to have been the boy at school which some have stated. Once a boy in the 6ame class with him was asked what part of speech the word ‘ with’ was. • A noun, sir,’ said the bojj. ‘ You young blockhead,’ cried the pedagogue, what example can you furnish of such a thing ?’ ‘ I can tell you, sir,’ interrupted Scott, ‘you know there is a verse in the Bible which says ; ‘ They bound Sampson with withs.’ __ A Quaker’s Letter.—Friend John, I desire thee iC bs so kind as to go to one of those sinfu’ men in the flesh called attorneys, and let him take out an instrument with a. seal thereto, by means whereof we may seize the out ward tabernacle of George Green, and bring him before the lamb-skin men at Westminster, and teach him to do in future as he would be done by Thy friend, R.

Augusta, Junelo The talent of turning men into ridi cule is the gratification of mean minds and ungenerous tempers. True merit, like the pearl inside an oyster, is content to remain quiet until it finds ar. o, eniug. There is philosophy in the remark : " Bressed am dem dat expect nuthing, for dey 6hant be disappint.’ Pride sleeps in a gilded crown—con tentment in a cotton night-cap. Those who possess the most real ex cellence, say the least about it. A clear conscience is sometimes Cvi’iu for money, but never bought with it. Some one has defined love—‘ A lillle sighing, a little crying, a little dying, and a (leal of lying. According to the articles of war, it is death to stop a cannon ball. It is said that the tea most in favor among married ladies, is Jlcau he. Excused.—A young man at a social party was urged to sing a song. He re plied that he would first tell a story, and thenrif they persisted in their de mands he would execute a song. •‘ When a boy,” he said “ he took lessons in singing, and on Sunday morn ing went into his father’s attic to prac tise by himself. When in full play he was sent for by the old gentleman.” “ This is pretty conduct,” said the father, “ pretty employment for the son of pious parents, to be sawing boards on Sunday morning loud enough to be heard by the neighbors. Sit down and take your book.” The young man was excused from sing’ng the proposed song. A country paper says the best ‘ sewing machine in the world,is one about seven teen years old, that wears gaiter boots and a pocket to put her wages in.’ Educational Statistics.—In the United States there is one child attend ing school to every five persons. In Denmark there is one to every four. In Sweden one to five. In Prussia one to six. In Norway one to seven. In Belgium and Great Britain one to eight. In France one to ten.

Not long since a friend dropped in, and stopping before the picture gazed intently upon it for a few moments and then sung out abruptly, and as he imagined, very wit tily : “ Hallow, doctor, is that your por trait?” “Oh, no,” replied the doctor, coolly, “ that’s simply a looking-glass.” The anxious inquirer suddenly discov ered that he had some business down the street, and departed.
