WTRAV TIIOI GIITS.
BY G. DODGLASS WATSON.
Thera ia an awful sublimity in the
bare existence of onr intellect, whose
exerciaea know no pauso. The wind
that romps across the hemisphere, at
laat gets weary and slumbers. The vi
talised mass of bone rad sinew that
surges along through the streets, after
a few hours, drops into infantile repose.
The Ooean, at times, shows symptoms
of getting tired of treading its solitary
march from zone to tone, and lies, for
a taason, in the vast embrace of some
supreme indolence. The very stars that
have been racing tbeir circuits for mil
lions of ag.'t, may at some time grow
faint and atop on their aerial journey;
bnt on the mother’s lap there’s a tiny
object—a mere lump of helplessness -
in which the Father of Immortality has
awakened a hit of mind that will nev
er stop tbiokiog We can stop running
horses; stop moving armies; and with
plenty of time to ooribtruct the forces we
might check the powers of Niagara: but
but we could safely defy all sub-divine
ability to stop tbe thinking of that little
soul. There is a stubbornness about
the human mind that will brook oo pro
hibition. The moro we try to stop
thinking, the more gloriously do wefai;
tbe very resolution to check the faculty,
only arouses its energy. The thought
is as a river, it will fl>w, and the only
arbitrament we have over it is to decide
which way it shall move; even t-heu we
cannot wield a constant control over its
mazy wandering?. A great deal of our
thinking is done in an easy, careless,
straying mood; without any particular
rcsolu'ion to think. Borne of the best
thoughts of a lifetime break upon us in
a modest, unexpected manner. Sit
down to your desk and resolve that you
will think out something great, and if
you even succeed iD thinking out gome
thing that is little you will do well.—
Discourag-d and fretted at the defeat,
you s'roll out in the woods or meadow,
drinking in the sights and souuds in an
indifferent way, when you notice a fall
ing leaf, or a little ant empire, or some
»uch tr fie; wbtn lo ! a tremendous
train of thought starts into busy exer
cise ; some mammoth idea glides through
the brain; and what you bad taxed your
brain to perform oas been achieved by
simply letting the brain alone. The
brain is often like a school boy. the more
it is scourged (be more it won’t work.—
Mauy of our supreme fueling* and ideas
come in that gotd natured way, sound
ing no trumpet to herald their advent
Suppose we could read all the stray
thoughts of our past life ; we would
find that the best reaul sos our studies
had leaked out through them.
F owers do Dot emit the'r best odors
only when we smell of them; they drop
he richest burdens of fragranoe when
we are sleeping; and so many of out
brightest thougli’s break out from th"
miid at times (then we fail to notice
1 e n. It is a i ity that we lose so many
of th< se straggling drop-; of golden treas
ure; tboretme it would b- wise to furnish
ourselves with paper and pencil, that at
any time we might seize these transient
glc ms and make them our permanent

Rich for a Ylomeut.
Tbe British ship Britania was wrecked
off the coast of Brazil, and had on board
a large consignment of Spanish dollars.
In the hope ot saving some 4f them, a
number of u rrels were brought on d.’ck,
but tbe vesst 1 went to pieces-ofist that,
the only hope for life was in taking at
once to the boats. Tbe last boat was
about to push off, when a young mid
shipman went back to see if any one was
stjjl on board. To his surprise there
was a man on deck with a hatcbel in bis
h ind, with which he had broken open
several of tbe casks, the contents of
which he was now beapieg up about
him.
‘What are you doing there ?’ shouted
•heyou h. ‘liou’t you know the ship
is fast going to pieces V
‘The ship may go,’ said the man ; ‘I
have lived a poor wretch all my life, aud
1 am determ ued io die rich.’
llis remoustrancos were answered oo
ly bv auother flourish of the hatchet aud
he was left to fate.
We should o.mut suoh a person a mad
mso, but he has too many imitators.
Men seem determined to die rieb, at all
hazards. Least of all ri.-ks do they
count the chance of losing tbe soul in
the struggle, at any moment at all.—
Aod yet the only riches we can hug to
our bosom with joy, in our dyioj; hour,
are tbe Ticbes of grace through Jesus
Christ, which we must make ours before
the dark hour comes. Oh ! how rich
have many died in tbeir garrets and
huts, while kings and princes have en
tered on the other life »oro destitute
tbao beggars. Who would not rather
oboose to be rich for eternity, ihan rich
for the fleeting momeot in which the
ship is sinking into the dark waters ?■—

It vii a judioious resolution of a well
as a most pleasing oomplimeut to his
wife, when, on being asked by a friend
what he intended to do with bis girls,
he replied :
“I intend to apprentice them to their
mother, that they may learn the art of
improving time, and be Sited to become
wives, mothers, heads of families, and
useful members of society.” Equally
just, but bitterly painful, was the re
mark of the unhappy husband of a vain,
thoughiless, dressy slattern :
“It is hard to say it, but if my girls
are to have a chance of growing up good
for anything, they must be sent out of
the way of tbeir mother’s example.”

Tbe readers of newspapers are aware
that Grant has been the recipient of
mauy presents, but tho gnat majority of
them have, perhaps, no definite idea of
he money va'uo of these presents. Ike
Nutional Intelligencer says, leaving out
any mention of the items, as only cal
culated to cousumc time aod confuse the
judgment, we may say th t tbe money
value of the various presents, accepted
aod pocketed by Gen..O r:iDt at the out
set of bis adruimstraiien as a sort of
preparatory ciercine, we suppose, for an
immaculute career, amounted to a sum
ranging from SIOO,OOO $200,000, and
oearjr, we believe, to the latter than
the former figure. Our honest belief is
tha% somehow or other, Gen. Grant is
to-day at least $300,000 better off than l
he was six years ago, and that bis prop
er salary in that time would not equal
SIOO,OOO, out of which would come, of
course, his family expenses. The mys'
tenes of all this we do not sffect to
guess at; tbe knowa presents are what
we mean to mention just now, amount
ing, as above stated; to over SIOO,OOO.

trate tbeir estimate of the different od
ors of horses by tbo following story :
“A chief of a tribe was ODoe puisued
by enemies. Ho said to his son / ’My
son, drop to the rear, and tell me tho
color of tbe horses of our f>e, and may
Allah burn his grandfather 1’
f WLite,’ was tbe answer. ‘Then we
will go south,’ said 'be chief, for in the
vast plains of the desert tbe wind of a
white horse will not stand in a protract
ed ebase. Again the chitvf said; ‘My
son, what oolored horses pursue us ?’—
•Black, O my father i’ ‘Then we wiii
go among tbe stones aDd on rocky
ground, for tbe feet of Black horses ar#
not stong.’ A third time the young
Arab was sent to the rear, and reported
chestnut horses.
‘Then,’ said the chief, ‘we are lost.—
Who but Allah can deliver us from tho
chestnut ?’
Dud, or cream colored hones, tbe
Arabs consider worthless.
‘That s very singular,’ said a young
lady to a gentleman who had just kissed
her. 'Oh I well my dear miss/ was tho
reply, ‘I will soon mako it pluraland
