This Idle is What We Make it.
Let’s often talk of nolde deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And not about the sad ones.
We wete not umde io fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps t > wake it;
Bright happiness is standing l:v
This life is what we make it.
Let’s find tlih sunny side of men,
Or be believers in it ;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
O! there's a slumbering goo 1 in all,
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the mngi.t wand—
This life is what we make : t.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light arid j-v about them!
Thanks he to them for countless gems
We ne’er had known without them.
0 ! this she uld he a happy world
To all who may partake it;
The fa tilt’s our own if it is not—
This life is what we nmke it.

cidont of the last earthquake there.
“Although in the Board of Broker* during I
the earthquake the majority did not lea\e j
their seats; yet two gentlemen rather distin
guished themselves in their attempts t > escape ;
front the shock. One made a rush to the :
windows on the southern side df the room,
lifted the sash, and thrust his leg ut, but
was unable* to proceed any farther, ad there i
he remained until all was over. Tho other
thrust his hand through a pane of ass, but
he also did not succeed in clambering out,
and very lurtunafeiy too, for he would have
inevitably tumbled through a and ;
fallen to the ground, .sou u fifty fcefjprr^ovv.— j
When the alarm was over, and matters had
subsided, those who had .-io«»d firm received
the panic stricken fugitives with ‘cheers and !
laughter.’”

Advice to Young .Men,
If von "O to call on a young lady,. wfid 'she
csoohe's diligently all the Svening, and onjv
says ‘yes’ amT‘no.’ you -an go aw ay at' nine dr
qtiarfbf post, without breaking any'of the
roles of etiquette. - y
•Don’t "make n business of courting anybody
Very extensively without you want to go in
for keeps, and hv all means avoid Sunday eyn
niogs. There is something in the Sunday
evening air decidedly spoony, and it pis just
a * natural for fellows and girls to get toget-het
and court Sunday evenings, as it is for a hen
to set. Many a nromisiug youth, in the fulj
vi*p:r cf manhood, has been dragged into pro
rsna tu re liiafrimuni:. 1 decay hy an innocent
Sunday evening rail. I
Ts yi.it are invited to a ‘sociable’ or fair,
moke yourself sick hy smoking your big.
brother - stove rune and stay at home, anil
when you a. ■ called upon to suffer, do it with
alacrity., and tlnnk how happy you are eom
fwiived to the miserable victims who aro de-'
c ved into attending.
Don’t e art but hut ona girl at a time. The
most harrowing sight I know of to a sensi
tive niiiil is to sea p voting man, full of Chris?
tian fortitude mid ii noble ambition, trying to
court two girls at once.
Don't drift into matrimony, unless yon
want to get wretched : c and don’t marry a
pom- girl unless she has money.
Ii you call on a young lady, and the old
full s go out of tho room about nine o’clock
.with a s letnn air, you can make up vour
Inind there's a conspiracy afloat. Don’t show
f'lty symptoms of fear i the young lady,
.you were sitting up last night with a friend
■wh ' has the small pox. and TOU think you’ll
go home and get a litth sleep.
_ Don't imagine, it looks -mart to loaf around
hiliiard halls and -moke cheap, cigars at a
high price, aad swallow -I ins at twenty cent*
a ghi-s. It would show more talent on your
part to retire into 'he nearest grave yard and
study 'nst year’s almaru.o.
An 1 don’t imagine you are a bummer just
been ino your father allows vou to carry a
n ■ t-kry. S 'loc young men will go ton band
concert on tho Common, smoko a cinnamon
c gar. and go hniun thoroughly convinced that,
they have nmJo a h-ivy night of it, and
ought to he ' a bed after.
If you k a young lady to marry you. and
she .-ay- she would rather bo excused, don’t
excise her.
D'ii'i marry for money. If you are engaged
t‘ r V'no ■ laly who has a fortune, tell her
V u u t marry her unless she gives it all to
’ 1 e p ,r.s ad goes to making vests. Money
is • it" to i ring unhappiness.
i ‘ii v r knew ol a single instance where it
did not bring barrels of unhappiness, ands
h .ic seen -ir ug men weep hysterically bo
e use they ha l seven dollars ahead.
If you want to he considered anybody learn
toe! v hbi.vi immediately. It looks so*
cnliivi.t- ! ami refined to see a young man pull
cud a cani-t>’r of tobacco ami make a oess
po.,l of his month.
“ Don’t gi t into debt unless you ean find some
one who is willing to trust you, and then
don’t.
Don't stay in your present situation all your
life because your grandmother say* “a rolling
stone gather- no moss,” I know several very
nged'.and respectable stones who have stuck
in one placq all their lives, nnd who haven’t..
got moss enough to m'lka a small saucer of'
blnno munagf. ’ . , ... .
If you af'o engaged to a y<*ing lady, don’t
tjfpke a great many presentAunfbse it’s a
pretty sure thing, for if anymmg Ihtppenel
she is sure to return your presents. # A friend

have it described in half a column of daily
news. I; is tho cheapest sort of notoriety^
if you can’t go courting without tomb'

criminal olfcnce, I have seen evideneo enough'
on a young man’s shirt bosom to hang him.'
Remember that ignorance and Conceit go
hand i I hand, and that cheek and impudence
ore twin brothers.
Young men now-a-days are hardly worth
brin. id up, and near as i can find out, they
■m hi to ho governed by about the following
iiiles:
1: is better to receive a small salary and bo
i e -toutly in debt, than to earn a large salary
by and ling something that isn’t gcjjteeJ.
1 mure blessed to invite yourself to din-'

to invite him. * '

One u! I friend whom you ean borrow money
of is worth a dozen new ores who are rather
doubtful.
If a friend i- ,-m iking a cigar, it is my sol
id u iut.y, to ask him if he has the mate
to it.
The first principle to be observed in buying
cigars is to buy odd ones, then lean truth*
fully say that 1 have no mate.
It 1 can’t w air kid gloves and diamond
studs, why seek to drag out a miserable exis
tence in a \y rid where all is a dreary blank?
If some' young men had died when they
were children, they would have been an orna
ment to tluir sex.
A clergyman an 1 otteof his elderly members
w rv walking home from church one icy day
last winter, w hen the old gentleman slipped
and fell Hat on his back. The minister, look
ing at him a moment, and being a-sured that
he was not much hurt, said to him, "Sinners
stand on slippery places.” Tho old gentleman
locked up, as if to assure himself of the fact,
and said, “ 1 see they do ; but I can't.”
A young lady at Liurlingtnn, lowa, went to
church and forgot her waterfall, leaving it in
tho window, and when she returned she found
a littie blue bird sitting in it, on two eggs.
Gen. IJu.tou.—This distinguished soldier

Orleans Jacobin authorities, from the office of
control of die water works of that city, and a
few days ago ho turned over to his successor, a
mulatto, public property to the value of two
millions of dollars.
It would seem that Howard, the white heacf
of tlie nigger bureau, has stolen an almost
incomputable amount of the public funds.—
five hundred thousand dollars he has slipped
away quietly, the Lord knows where.
Sumner is jubilant. The carpet hag Legis
lature of Alabama passed a law to legalize
marriage between whites and niggers.
