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, Elihu Burritt. 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. Enterprise. Messrs. Loewenstein Pfeifer In >ve been in our city only about two months, but in that short space of time they have demonstrated the advantages of enterprise and eom mAvp-ioi <l—xney liave, by displaying superior goods at living prices, and by energy and industry, se cured a splendid patronage and perma nent foothold with our trading people. 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. An old lady, | in a store in Waterbury, Conn., - "kYiy, deliber ately sat down and reached out her half-frozen feet to the iron safe, re marking that she “always did like those airtight stoves.” ♦ “It’s a good thing to have a handsome penman for a beau,” said Mary, as she glanced over a billet doux. “Yes,” replied Julia, “if the penman is handsome, I dont care how ugly the penmanship is.” -•» John Erskine, of the South ern District of Georgia, has been as signed to the Lnited States District Court of the Southern District of Flor ida.
