There like is no tyrant custom, and ro freedom where its edicts are not re¬ sisted. Jy yon would have your desires al¬ ways effectual, place them on things which are in your power to attain. No degree of knowledge attainable by man !h able to sot him above the want, of hourly assistance. The most brilliant qualities become useless when they are not sustained by force of character. Dependekck is a perpetual call upon humanity, and a greater incitement to tenderness and pity than any other motive whatsoever. He who imitates what is evil always goes the beyond the example that is set; or, contrary, he who imitates what is good, always falls short. Above every other feature whleb adorm tbe female character, delicacy stands foremost within the province of good taste. lr the disposition to speak well of others were universally prevalent, the world would become a comparative paradise. Tiie vanity of loving fine clothes and them, fashions, and valuing ourselves by is one of the most childish pieces of folly that can bo. It is easy enough to make sacrifices for those wo love, hut for our enemy we have to struggle and overcome self. Such a victory is noble. Honorable age is not that which staudeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years. But wisdom is the gray hair unto men and an unspotted Lfe is old age. Life has many ills, but the mind that views every Rod object doubtful in the most dispensation cheering aspect, every as replete with latent good, bears within itself a iKiwerfu! and perpetual anti¬ dote. The world isalooking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of IBs own face. Frown at it, and it wilt tarn and look surly upon you; larub at it and with it, and it is a pleasant, kind companion. Try ever to make others plud anJ merry, And laugh and Joke, nor care how dark the day ; Jteme/nhenng, while you hM m bright and cherry, Thut hearts of oak will never plnenwiiy, Hackensack nepubflean. Some one has beautifully said, “As when the sea-worm makes a bole in the of the mussel, the hole is tilled up with a pearl, so when the heart, is pierce,d by fill an injury, healing forgiveness wound.’ is likp the pearl nc, the and thus rendering beautiful and of priceless worth the lowliest heart of man. Helfishnelh cannot flourish where magnanimity rrigns. ’Ihe man of larg • soul sees far beyond sympathy bisown little orbit: his heart thrills in with ioys and sorrows that touch not his own life. Like the astronomer, who sees our earth to be but a speck in the great universe, he sees himself to be but a sjieek in the great humanity that lives and throbs all around him. instead of fixing an in tense and microscopic gazs upon him ►elf, with heart his little round of interests, his large swells with sympathy f ir others, and his hand hastens to do them good. be Generosity, however liberal, may self conscious; but the tsstnen of magnanimity -elfin is to forget the c'aims of the yearning for others, to pass by the less in the search for the greater. “Engagements” In Italy. ^ , *'“ an '-'enaacemcnt ^^r^ledl.v ” is n,a<V in " nr^ntW.affiAncidbride h j cusom- whH '» ’ n ^ g, waicn, "atoh ^cha cornu, . loXt iookii, rui ear-ri, rue, n. and a no ’ * ^ the^v“ mese’. ts \7e leeiUmate ^u! t ed Thehusbandfu^sheshe M trou * "enmallV houw “l.
