passage to the Missiahippi or even to
the Hudson. But even at this rate
of ability we could send out a large
number of good laborers of every trade
and occupation, if good, definite and
guaranteed offers were made for them.
But they must know precisely to what
party they are to go, the service re
quired, and the wages to be paid per
week, month or year. AY ith regard to
house servants, such as cooks and
house-maids, not more than twenty can
pay her own passage by sea and in
land. So that parties applying for
•such “help” must advance to the agen
cy the whole fare from Liverpool to the
place of then- destination in America,
to be deducted from their first wages.
AY T e take every precaution to send out
only such as are very highly recom
mended as faithful and competent in
every way for household service. AA e
are much pleased that some of the first
operations of our agency were directed
to Tennessee, and hope your State will
derive no little advantage from our ef
forts. Yours truly,

STRAY THOUGHTS.
4
BY G. DOUGLAS WATSON.
[From the Clayton Herald.]
There is an awful sublimity in the
bare existence of our intellect, whose
exercises know no pause. The wind
that romps across the hemisphere, at
last get weary and slumbers. The vi
talized mass of bone and sinew that
surges along through the streets, after
a few hours, drops into infantile re
pose. The Ocean, at times, shows
symptoms of getting tired of treading
its solitary march from zone to zone,
and lies, for a season, in the vast em
brace of some supreme indolence. —
The very stars that have been racing
their circuits for millions of ages,
may at some time gfow faint and stop
on their seriel journey; but on the
mother’s lap there lies a tiny object—
a mere lump of helplessness —in which
the Father of immortality has awak
ened a bit of mind that will never stop
thinking AVe can stop running horses;
stop moving armies; and with plenty
of time to construct the forces we
might y* xviagara;
but we could safely defy all sub-divine
ability to stop the thinking of that lit
tle soul. There is a stubbornness
about the human mind that will brook
no prohibition. The more w'e try to
stop thinking, the more gloriously do
w’e fall; the very resolution to check
the faculty, only arouses its energy.
The thought is as a river, it will flow’,
and the only arbitrament we have over
it is to decide which w T ay it shall move;
even then we cannot wield a constant
control over its mazy wanderings. A
great deal of our thinking is done in an
easy, careless, straying mood; without
any particular resolution to think.—
Some of the best thoughts of lifetime
break upon us in a modest, unexpected
manner. Sit down to your desk and
resolve that you will think out some
thing that is little, you will do well.—
Discouraged and fretted at the defeat,
you will stroll out in the woods or
meadow, drinking in the sights and
sounds in an indifferent way, when
you notice a falling leaf, or a little
ant empire, or some such trifle, when
lo! a tremendous train of thought
starts into busy exercise; some mam
moth idea glides through the brain;
to perform lias been achieved by sim
ply letting the brain alone. The brain
is often like a school-boy, the more it is
scourged the more it wont w’ork.—
Many of our supreme feelings and
ideas come in that good natured way,
sounding no trumpet to herald their
vp. vi 1. Suppose we could read all the
stray thoughts oi um pf e; Ave
would find that the best results of our
studies had leaked out through them.
Flowers do not emit their best odors
only, when we smell of them; they
drop the richest burdens of fragrance
when we are sleeping; and so many of
our brightest thoughts break out from
the mind at times when we fail to no
tice them It is a pity that we lose so
many of these straggling drops of gol
den treasure; therefore it would be
wise to furnish ourselves with paper
and pencil, that any time we might
seize these transient gleams and make
them our permanent property.

They know how to buy, what to buy
and where to buy, and are equally
skilled in the art of selling.
They know, too, the value of the
American mode of letting people know
that they are about with something to
sell.—Albany News.
