help it: hope you arc satisfied.
We are indebted to D. W. Sutherland,
Esq., for a copy of the London Times and Supple

We hope, however, to get out something ot interest
for to-morrow’s Journal.

Association held last night, five thousand dollars of

We hope our readers will not pass over
“Niagara” on our last page. The measure is less
smooth and polished than it might have been, but
the originality, depth of thought, and strength, which
it possesses, amply atone for its inconditeness. By
the-bye, while alludiDg to this column, will our read
era do us the favor to notice it occasionally. We
are trying to make it one of the best portions of the
Journal, by discreet, and careful selections, and it
will continue to claim our strict attention.
Silver Cup Presentation.
The Presentation ofa Silver Cup to Wm. L. Clark,
Esq., announced in our paper of yesterday, came off
at the appointed time and place.
We clip the following interesting account of a
portion of the ceremonies from the Daily News of
this morning :
“ The Cup was presented, in behalf of the work
inen, by Mr. William Yonge, with the following ad*
dress.
“ Sirln beliulf of the Mechanics under your im
mediate charge, 1 present you with this Cup as a to *
ken of their high esteem and regard for you as a gen
tlemanjand a Mechanic,and we sincerely hope it may
be a stimulus to greater exertions on your part. Do
not be despirited because fortune has rfr owned upon
you, for she is but a fickle mistress, and may smile
upon you again'and restore you to the hearts of
those who sympathize with you. Hoping this may
be the case, we will patiently await and endeavor to
prove by our exertions, we are not unworthy such a
foreman
To which Mr. Clark replied as follows :
“Gentlemen :—Words cannot express the feel
ings with which I receive this token of your regard-
It is very gratifying, under the peculiar circumstan
ces which causes me to leave you. to find the hand of
sympathy so freely extended to me. Believe me,
that this day will never be forgotten by me, and
whenever a feeling of disappointment arises in ray
mind, it will be driven away by the recoF t : is of
those who have seen fit to present mr this
beautiful Cup, as a mark of their favor a m.

*• The Upter Ten Thousand,” by Charles Astor
Bristed. New York. Stringer Sc Townsend, (pa
per, 275 pages.)
These brilliant sketches of American Society, orig
inally published in Frazer’s Magazine, have been
collected and bound by Messrs. Stringer Sc Town
send. They are crisp, sparkling, racy; strung upon
the thread of a story strong enough to connect
and bind them together, yet of insufficient interest
to depreciate the merit of any sketch by itself. The
Upper Ten Thousand was written for the English
market, where rapid sales, admiration and encomi
um attended it. It has done more towards opening
the eyes of Mr. Bull, and counteracting ihe Trollope
and Dickens injustice to America, than anything yet
printed. We commend it to the lovers of wit, fancy
and fashion. Jules Janin has never written anything
better, and if Mr. Bristed would only go to Paris, he
could mahe a fortune in a very short time as a
feuilletoniste.

The Courtesies of Life.— The way to make your
self pleasing to others is to show that you care for
them. The whole world is like the miller of Mans
field, “ who cared for nobody—no not he—because
nobody cared for him and the whole world will
serve you so if you give them the same cause. Let
every one, therefore, see that you do car for them
by showing them what Sterne so happily calls, ‘ the
small, sweet courtesies of life”—those courtesies in
which there is no parade ; whose voice is too still to
tease, and which manifest themselves by tender and
affectionate look-, and little, kind acts of attention ;
giving others the preference in every little enjoyment
at the table, in the field, walking, sitting or standing.
This is the spirit that gives to your time of life, and
your sex, its sweetness. It constitutes the sum total
ot all the witchcrfat ot woman. Let the world see
that your first care is for yourself, and you will
spread the solitude of the Upas trees around you—
and in the same way, be the emanation ofa pois-m
which kills all the kindly juices cf affection in its
neighborhood. Such a girl may be admired for her
understanding and accomplishments, but she will
never be beloved. Theseeds of love can nevergrow
but under the warm and genial influence of kind
feeling and affectionate manners. Vivacity goes a
great way in young persons. It calls attention to her
who displays it; und, fit then be found associated
with a generous sensibility, its irresistible. On the
contrary,if it be found in alliance with n cold, haugh
ty, 6ellish heart, it produces no further effect, ex.
cept an adverse one. Attend to this, my daughter
It flows from a heart that feels for you all the anx’
iety a parent can feel, and not without the hope
whbh constitutes the parent’s highest happiness.

famous family Didot, which has been famous during
several generations for its eminence in these protes
sions. Henri Didot was made a member of the Le
gion of Honor for his invention of ihe Polyamatype
foundry; and it was he who, ia company with his
cousin, designed and engraved the assignats emitted

Old Men. —They are indeed long shadows and

Kosftuthiiina.
(From Kossuth’s American Speeches.)
“Noman, ladies and gentlemen, i9 independent of
his fellow-men. No nation, however powerful can
be regarded to be independent of other nations. Put
the richest, the strongest, the most powerful man,
only for a single week, into a position to be exclud
ed from all intercourse with the members of his
family, his fellow-citizens of the city and country
in which he lives, and only look to the consequence.
What would become of this man 1 Quite the same
is also true in respect to nations.”
“Whatever may be the fate of man. one stamp he
always bears on his brow—that which the mother’s
hand impressed upon the soul of the child. The
smile of your lips can make a hero out of the
coward—and a generous man out of the egotist ;
one word from you inspires the youth to noble re
solutions ; the lustre ol your eyes is the fairest re
ward for the toils of life You can even blow up
the feeble spark of energy in the breast of broken
age. teat once more it may blaze up in a noble, u
generous deed, before it dies.”
“I am like a wandering bird. lam worse than a
wandering bird. He may return to his summer
home. I have no home on earth ! Here, at New
York, I felt almost at hrine. But “Forward” is my
call, aud I must part. I part with the hope that the
sympathy which I have met here is the trumpet
sound of resurrection to my nat’ve land ; I pai r with
the hope that, having found here a short, transitory
home, will bring me yet back to my own byli ved
home, that my ashes may yet mix with the dust oi
1 my native soil. Ladies, remember Hungary, and
farewell!”
“ When the day arrives that the nations of Europe
6hall be free, then that principle of brotherly Jove,
which was restricted to private life, will come in'o
the international relations of one country in another;
and, therefore, I believe that we, in Hungary and’
Europe, arc now about to struggle, not only for the
prinsiples of religious liberty, but’also to struggle in
deed for the triumph of Christianity—for I believe
that the victory ol freedom will elevate that princi
ple of love which is the basis of Christanity—then it
will not only be restricted to individuals, but will be
the rule lor governments and between nations ”
“ When in the mids t of a busy day, the watehful
cares of a guardian ange! throw some flowers ot joy
in the thorny way of man, he gathers them up with
thanks, a cheerful thrill quivers through his heart,
like the melody of an jEolian harp ; but the earnest
duties of life soon claim his attention and his cares.
The melodious thrill dies away, and on he inusteo,
and on he goes, joyless, cheerless, and cold, every
fibre of his heart bent to the earnest duties of the
day But when the hard work of the day is done,
and the stress of mind for a moment subsides, then
the heart again claims its right, and the tender fin
gers of our memory gather up again the violets of
j joy which the guardian threw in our way ; and we
i look at them with so much joy, we cherish them as
the favorite gilts of life—we are so “lad—as glad as
j the child on Christmas eve. These are the happiest
j moments of man’s life. But we are not noiy, not
| eloquent, we are silent, almost mute, like nature in
; a midsummer’s night, reposing from the burning
j heat of the day.”
i The Failings of Gifted Men. —lt is a singu
lar circumstance that many men of genius have ex
hibited obvious marks of human frailty. Pope was
an epicure, and would lie in a bed at Lord Boling
broke’s for days, unless he was told there were
stewed lampreys for dinner, when he rose instantly
ana came to the table. Even Sir Isaac Newton
gave credit to the idle nonsense of judicial astrolo
gy—he who tir*t calculated the distance ofthe stars,
and revealed the lawn of motion by which tbe Su
preme Being organizeJ and keeps in their orbits
unnumbered worlds—he who had revealed tbe
mysteries ol tbe stars themselves. Dryden, Sir
Isaac Newton’s comemporary, believed in the same
absurdity. The great Duke of Marborough, when
visited by Prince Eugene on the night before a
battle, when no doubt the two generals were in con
sultation upon a measure that might decide tbe fate
of an empire, waj heard to call his servant toac
count for lighting up tour candles in his tent upon
thcoccasion, and was once actually seen on horse
back darning his own gloves. Ilobbes, who wrote
the “Leviathan,"’a deist in creed, had a most extra
-1 ordinary belief in spirits and apparitions. Loek,
the philosopher, the matter-ot-lact Locke, who
wrote, and in fact established the decision of things
by the rule of right reason, laying down the rule
itself—ho delighted in romances and revelled in
works of fiction. What was the great Lord Veru
lutn ? Alas ! too truly, “the wisest, greatest and
meanest ol Mankind.” As for Martin Luther, the
relorrner, he was so passionate and unchristian like,
that he struck his friends, Mclanctiion in particular,
and perhaps would have burned him as readily as
an inquisitor in those days would have burned a
hero ic, in tbe pai oxyisms of his rage. Cardinal
Richelieu, the minister ofa great empire, believed in
the calculation of nativities. Sir Thomas Moore
burned the heretic to whom in his wrhings he gave
full liberty of conscience. Alexander the Great was a
drunkard, and slew his triend iu his cups. Ciesar
sullied the glory of bis talen ts by the desire of gos
erning his country despotically, and died the victim
of his ambition, though one of the wisest, most ac
complished, and humane ot conquerors. But we
are traveling too far back for examples which should
be taken from latter times. Tasso believed in his
good angel, and was often observed to converse
with what be fancied was a spirit or demon, which
he declared he saw. Raphael, the most gifted artist
the world ever possessed, died at the age of thirty
seven,.his constitution weakened by his irregular
living. Dr. Samuel Johnson was notoriously su
perstitious. Sir Christopher Wren, who built St.
Paul’s Cathedral, was a belierer in dreams. lie
had n pleurisy once being in Paris, and dreamed
that he was in a place wh *re pnlm trees grew, and
that a woman in romantic |dres s gave him some
dates. He next day be sent for some dat€*s. in the
lull belie! of their revealed virtues, and they cured
him. Dr. Hally had the same superstitious belief.
Melancthon believed in dreams or apparitions, and
used to say that one came to him in his study, and
told him bid Guynoeus, his friend, to go away for
some time, as the inquisition sought his life. His
Iriend went away in consequence, and thus, by ac
cident, really saved his life. Addison was fond of
the bottle, and 19 said to have shortened his days by
it. Burns, the poet, was a horrid drinker, and
there can be no doubt, wore out his constitution by
his convivialty. Goldsmith was a gambler, and the
victim ot fraudulence. Prior was the dupe ofa com
mon woman, whom he believed to be an angel.
Garrick, was as vain ns any woman, and equally
loved flattery and Kneller’u vanity was such that
nothing was too gross fer him to swullow.
