True Words.
A fit pair—a dandy and a co
quette—the one is a thing in panta*
loons, with a body and two arms,
head without brains, high boots, a
cane and white handkerchief, two
broaches and a ringon his little fin
ger. The other is a young lady,
with more beauty than sense, more
accomplishments than learning, in ire
charms of person than graces of
mind, more admirers than friends,
and mote fools than wise men for
her attendants.
Happiness grows at our own fire
sides, and is not to be picket! up in
the stranger’s garden.
Education is at home a friend,
abroad an introduction, in solitude a
solace, in society an ornament.
Man was created to search for
truth, to love the beautiful, to desire
what is good, and to do the best.
Beauty flows in the waves of
light, radiates from ihe human face
divine, and sparkles in the pathway
of every child.
Perfection of mind consists of
firmness and mildness, of force .and
tenderness, of vigor and grace.
There is no greater expounder of
moral principle, no eloquent teacher
ot divine truth, who is more useful
in God’s world, than a business-man
that carries his religion into his bus
iness.
A bright and beautiful bird is
hope ; it will co.ne to us amid the
darkness, and sing the sweetest
song when our spirits are saddest;
and when the lone soul is weary,
and longs to pass away, it warbles
the sunniest notes, and tightens
again the slender fibres of our hearts
that grief has been tearing away.
Pleasure is a rose near which
there ever grows a thorn of e\ il. It
is wisdom’s work to so carefully
pluck the rose as to avoid the thorn,
and let its rich perfumes exhale to
heaven in gratitude and adoration of
him who gave the rose to blow.
Idleness—Is the bane of body
and mind, the nurse of naughtiness,
the step-mother of discipline, the
chief author of all mischief, one of
the seven deadly sins, the cushion
upon which the Devil chiefly reposes,
and a great cause not only of mel
ancholy, but of many other diseases:
for the mind is naturally active ; and
if it be not occupied about liouesi
business, it rushes into mischief, or
sinks into melancholy.

Would Your Loss be Felt
Live for some purpose ir» the
world. Always act your part well.
Fill up the measure of duty tooth
ers. Conduct yourself so that you
may be missed with sorrow when
you are gone. Multitudes of our
species are living in such a selsfih
manner that they are not likely to
be remembered after tbeir disap
pearance. They leave behind them
scarcely any traces of their exist
ence, and are forgotten almost as
though they had never been. They
are, while they live, like some peb
ble lying unobserved among a mil
lion on the shore; and when they
die they are like that same pebble
thrown into the sea, which just ruf
fles the surface, sinks, and is forgot-
ten without being missed from the
beach. They are neither regretted
by the rich, mourned by the poor,
nor celebrated by the learned. Who
has been better for their life ? Who
has been the worse for their death ?
Whose tears have '.key dried ?
Whose wants supplied r Whose mis
ery have they healed ? Who would
unbar the gate of life to readmit
them to existence? Or what face
would greet them back to our world
with a smile ? Wretched, unproduc
tive existence! Selfishness is its
curse; it is a starving vice. The
man who does no good gets none.
He is like the heath in the desert,
neither yielding fruit nor seeing
when good cometh—a stunted, fish
draw, miserable shrub.

POPULAR FALLACIES.
It is a popular fallacy to suppose
that mud flics from the wheel of a
swiftly-movmg carriage in lines tan
gent to the circumference of the
wheel.
It is a popular fallacy to suppose
“it is a poor rule that don’t work
both ways.”
It is a popular fallacy to suppose
that any one who is a fair scholar
can teach school.
It is a popular fallacy to suppose
that heated air has a tendency to
rise.
It is a popular fallacy to suppose
that a ball fired vertically upward
will fall with the same velocity it
had while rising.
Lucky and Unlucky Kao.
It has been staled that the Roths
childs never employ “unlucky men. v
The Cincinnati Commercial says ths
Stewart, the millionaire of Nef
York, adopts no such rule, but*** 11
employed a great many broke*
chants, deriving great aJjck.
from their experience. It
wisdom in either policy astockof
there is more on Mr. Stewart’
than on that of the Rot hi-
The true rule is to employ
and honest men, no matter
they have been unfortunate
Misfortune is not of itself
want of capacity. No
control events, nor can any man
foresee them. As for “luck,” it is
all in the imagination. It is not a
constitutional trait. General suc»
cess in life comes from very differ*
ent causes. Even gamblers, whose
faith in “luck” ought to be as good
as anybody’s, rely very little upon
it. They take precautions against
the fickle genius. All their games
have the chances decidedly in their
favor. Luck is a vagabond whose
vicissitudes ere innumerable, until
finally he becomes a Beau Hickman,
the seedy sponge, who-e ups and
downs should warn all against dal
lying with the delusion which sel
dom lead to any othei end than ru
in.
Indeed, fortuitous circumstances
may give a man sudden wealth, but
he deserves no more credit for that
than docs a man deserve censure lor
being a loser by an unforeseen
event. It is unfortunate for men,
especially young ones, to believe
that th- re are “lucky** and “un
lucky” men. It is apt to impair
their faith in the only safe mental
and physical qualities and virtues,
such as experience, good judgment,
industry, fortitude, self-denial, and
good faith in the relations of life.—
To distrust these is to impugn the
wisdom and beneficence of an over
ruling Providence.
Saturday Night.—Saturday
night makes people human, sets
their hearts to beating, as they used
to before the world turned them into
drums, and jarred them to pieces
with tattoos. The ledger closes
with a slash, the iron-doored vaults
come to with a bang, up go the shut
ters with a will, click goes the key
in the lock. It is Saturday night,
and we breathe free again. Home*
ward, ho! The door that has been
ajar all the week closes behind us;
the world is shut out. Shut it, rath
er. Here are our treasures after all,
and not in the vault, and not in the
book—save the old record in the old
family Bible—and not in the bank.
Maybe \ 7 ou are a bachelor, frosty
and forty. Then, poor fellow, Sat
urday night is nothing to you, just
as you are nothing to nobody. Get a
wife, blue-eyed or black-eyed, but
above all true-eyed. Get a little
home—no matter how little ; a sofa,
just to hold two, or two and a half,
and then get two, or two and a half
in it of a Saturday night and read
this paragraph by the light of your
wife’s eyes, and thank Heaven and
take courage.—Exchange.
Immortality.—How beautiful
the following gem from the pen of
the late George D. Prentice, and
how happy the heart that can see
these beauties as he portrays them :
“Why is it that the rainbow and
the cloud come over us with a beau
ty that is not of earth, and then pass
away, and leave us to muse on their
faded loveliness ? Why is it that
the sta r s which hold their nightly
festivals around the midnight throne
are placed above the reach of our
limited faculties, forever mocking
us with their unapproachable glory !
And why is it that bright forms of
human beauty are presented to our
view, and then taken from us, leav
ing the thousand streams of affec
tion to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our hearts ? We are born to
a higher destiny than earth. There
is a realm where the rainbow never
fades—where the stars will be set
but before us like islands that slum
ber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful being that passes before
as like a meteor will stay in our
presence forever. 0
