The eagerness and strong bent of the mind after knowledge, if not warily regulated, isoften a hindrance to'it. “ It still presses into farther dis coveries and new objects, and catch es al ,}, e variety of knowledge, and therefore often stays not lor,g enough on what is before it, to look into it as it should, for haste to pursue what is yet out of sight. He that rides post through a country may be able, from the transient view, to tell in general how the parts lie, and may he able to give some loose description ofhere a mountain and there a plain, here a morass and there a river; woodland in one part and savannahs in another. Such superficial ideas and observations as these he may collect in galloping over it; but the more useful observations of the soil, plants,animals,and inhabitants, with their several sorts and properties .oust necessarily escape him ; and it is seldom men ever discover the rich mines without some digging. Na ture commonly lodges her treasure and jewels in rocky ground. If the matter he knotty, and the sense lies deep, the mind must stop and buckle to it, and stick upon it with labor and thought, and close con templation, and not leave it until it has mastered the difficulty and got possession of truth. But here care must he taken to avoid the other ex treme : a man must not stick at every useless nicety, and expect mysteries of science in every tri vial question or scruple that he rnay raise, lie that will stand to pick up and examine every pebble that comes in his way, is as unlike ly to return enriched and laden with jewels, as the other that travelled full speed. Truths are not the bet ter nor the worse for their obvious ness or difficult}’, but their value is to he measured by their useful ness and tendency. Insignificant observations should not take up any of our ninutes; and those that en large our view, and gave light to wards further and useful discov eries, should not he neglected, though they stop our course, and spend some of our time in a fixed attention. —L ockc. What a pity that pleasure can’t be multiplied in the same ratio that pain can. The man that gets a dollar a day will find his happiness augmented greatly should he get five dollars for the same quantity of time. Increase his income, how ever, from five dollars a day to ten, and you will not add to his happi ness a particle. As five dollars a day will get a person all the com fort he can possibly desire, any in crease of that income will add to his troubles rather than to his plea sures or contentment. Surplus wealth brings real estate, real estate litigation; while litigation very frequently ends in broken sleeps, loss of appetite, had diges tion, melancholy and suicide. A young gentleman,in describing the effects of his first waltz, sa}'s he thought he was going to heaven on a hand of music. For fifteen minutes he appeared to he swim ming in a sea of rose leaves, with a blue angel. This soon changed, he says, to a delerium of peacock feathers, in which his brain got so much mixed up with low necked frocks, musk and melody, that ! has fed on flutes ever since. The virtue which resists tempta tion is most noble, hut that which flies from it is most secure. Mor ality is ail very well, Mr. Ferguson, hut a good pair of legs is far pre ferable. Insuring your house is a good way to guard against a con flagration ; having no fire in or near it, is, however, still better. The best of insurance offices may “ bust.” An Irishman who was very near sighted, about to fight a duel, insis ted that he should stand six paces nearer to his antagonist than the other did to him, and that they were both to fire at the same lime. This beats Sheridan’s tolling a fat man who was going to fight a thin one, that the latter’s slim one ought to be chalked on the other’s portlv per son, and if the bullet hit him out side of the mark it was to go for nothing. “ Mister, lend me a shillin ?”—. said a boy to a wealthy man ves terday, as the latter was stepping into his carriage. “ What claim have you on me nay son?” “Cause,” was the rejoinder, “ you used to sell my dad apples when you was a boy.” The shilling came out en larged to a half dollar. This is a literal circumstance. Charcoal . —The use of charcoal in growing plants is now become general, and it is found to produce the most effect when mixed in large pieces with the soil, in rough rot ting. Powdered charcoal sifted so as to have the particles not larger than those of sand has been used in Germany for striking cuttings in, and it is found superior to sand, as it supplies them with nourishment after they are rooted, by attracting oxygen from the atmosphere, and thus forming carbonic acid gas round the roots. CHEESE VS. CANNOT SHOT. The greatest am unilion that we have heard of lately, was used by the celebrated Commodore Coe, of the Monte vidian Navy, who, in an engagement with Admiral Brown, of the Buenos Ayres service, fired every shot from his lockers. ‘What shall we do, sir?’ asked his first lieutenant; ,weNe not a single shot aboard ; round, grape, cannister, and double-headed are all gone.’ ‘Powder gone, eh !’ asked Coe. ‘No, sir, got lots of that.’ ‘We had a confounded hard cheese, a round Dutch one, for desert at dinner to-day don’t you remember it V ‘I ought to, I broke the carving knite in trying to cut it, sir.’ ‘Are there any more on hoard ?’ ‘About two dozen ; we took ’em from a droger.’ ‘Will they go into the 18 pound ers ?’ ‘By thunder, Commodore, hut that’s the idea, I’ll try them,’ cried the first luff’ And in a few minutes the fire of the old ‘Santa Maria,’ (Coe’s ship,) which had ceased entirely, was re opened, and Admiral Brown found mre shot flying over his head.— Directly one of them struck his main-mast, and as it did so, shat tered and flew in every direction. ‘ What the devil is that which the enemv is firing?’ asked Brown; but nobody could tell. Directly another one came in through a port and killed two men who stood near him ; then striking the bulwarks burst into flinters. ‘By Jove, this is too much, this is some new fangled Paixhan or other; 1 don’t like ’em at all!’ — cried Brown, and then as four or five more of them came slap through his sails, he gave the order to til! a wav, and actually backed out of the fight, receiving a parting broad side of Dutch Cheese. The Telegraph. —There are 22,- 000 miles of telegraph in operation in the United States ; 12,000 on the Morse principle, and about 10,000 on the House and Bain principles. The telegraph now extends from Halifax to New Orleans, and as far west as Dubupue, lowa. Mr. O’- Rielly, in the six years past, has put up over 7000 miles of telegraphic wire. The Boston Journal seized with a sudden spasm of wit, relieves it self thus : A Smashing Business. —A New Orleans paper, in eulogizing anew steamboat, says she is destined to do a “smashing business,” both in passengers and in freight! The steamboats in that quarter are get ting to he rather too notorious lately, for doing this kind of business. The use of tar and feathers in the punishment of crime, is one of great antiquity 7 . Richard 1., in his voyage to the holy land, ordained thus: “If any one is convicted of theft, let his bead be shaved, like Champion’s ; let melted pitch be poured upon it, and feathers shaken over it, that he may be known : and let him he put ashore at the first land to which the ship approaches. To Make Yeast. —To two mid dling sized boiled potatoes, add a pint of boiling water and two table spoon fids of brown sugar. One pint of hot water should be applied ’ every half pint of the compound. Hot water is better in warm weather. This yeast being made without flour, will keep longer, and is said to he much better than any previously in use. Late letters from Vienna state that arrangements had been made with the Railway managers for the conveyance of ten thousand people to the World’s Fair ; and from in formation which has reached us from various quarters, we may cal culate that at least one million strangers will reach London from France, Belgium, Holland, Ger many, Italy, Russia, the United States, and even Australia. Fault finders are the great pio neers of progression. Things which are not censured, are never im proved. Had nobody ever attacked stage travelling, rail roads would never heve been dreampt of. A contented mind is very well for an individual, perhaps; to benefit a community, however, give us the ill-natured devil who spends his whole life in abusing things. A large portion of our happiness springs from ignorance rather than from knowledge. To make an evil endurable, all that’s necessary is to be unconscious of any thing better. To those who have not seen oysters, clams are considered the best of shell fish—while “ prepared cider” is just as good as champagne to those who have never “ hearn tell” of Heidsick. It is obedience that enslaves men, not tyranny. Nero would have been as powerless as root beer had he not been made formidable by the cowardice of the Romans. To reduce the Sultan to a supplicant, all that’s required is to have Tur key say “ I wont,” some day, and suck to it. A lady was lately waited on by a poor woman, who lived in the neighborhood, and who solicited charity, urging that she had named her child after the lady. ‘ I had understood that the little ot.e was a hoy,’ said the lady. ‘So it is,’ said the other. ‘ Certainly, then you could not have given it my name.’ ‘I know it,’ said the other; ‘but your name is Augusta, and l named my boy Augustus, which is so near it that I thought you would give me anew frock for him ; and I will do without the apron, on account of the difference in the last S3’lluble.’ A countryman was standing on one of the wharves the other day, watching the process of hoisting the anchor of a ship which was getting under way, and as he saw the huge iron rise from the water to the “yo heave-o!” of the sailors, he exclaim ed. “ You may heave high, and heave low, but you will never get that great crooked thing through that little hole—l know better.” ‘ Pease, Doctor, I want to get three cents’ worth of hoppedeldock and a shillings’ worth of McCaskey Oil, mixed separate.’ ‘ Certainly, my dear; blow your nose.’ A shark was recently captured ofF Bermuda which measured eleven feet six inches from nose to tail, and had six rows of teeth in its jaws. Its ponderous stomach was filled with a sheep, two turtles-and other articles. Quite an alderman ! Mrs. Partington hearing that a young* man had set up for himself, “ Poor fellow,” said she, “has lie no friend that will set up for him part of the time !” And she sigh ed to lie young again. Sing Sing —A place where the railroad detains a good many peo ple who ought to go by, and where the laws allow a good many to go by who ought to be detained. Among the curiosities lately add ed to the Schenectady Museum, is a musquitoe’s bladder, containing the souls of 24 misers, and the fortun es of 12 printers —nearly half full. An English writer, in speaking of American newspapers, says liiey are used for puffing pastry, and eradicating pulmonary complaints. Rather a hard hit, hut who will say it is undeserved. Timon sa)\s, when men marry now a days, they get more whale bone than woman, and more coffee hags than ‘ tin.’ About these days, Timon should avoid Broom handles. Sleeping in Church. —Query,” asks an author, “ whether churches are not dormitories of living as well as the dead ?” Powers’ Statue of America, is described as a lovely female, with her hand resting upon the celebra ted bundle of arrows—the emblems of the States united and banded to gether. Two other emblems are to he added. As far as the sculp ture has advanced, it is exquisitely fine—worthy of the artist and worthy of the subject. We trust that this noble specimen of the genius of our country may be se cured for its metropolis. An Artesian well, for a steam mill company, has just been finished in Chambers county, Alabama. The Chambers Tribune sa}’s the water is raised about fifteen feet, and runs into a large cistern prepared for its reception previously to conducting it to the boiler. From the rapidity with which it rose to the top of the lube, it is thought by many that it could he carried to the height of £0 or CO feet above the surface. Jenny Lind, after fulfilling pro fessional engagements at. New Or leans, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, will return to New York. She is expected to arrive there about the 10th of April, and Castle Garden is being elegantly fitted up for the occasion of her reappearance. The great tenor, Salvi, has been en gaged to assist her in several grand concerts in New York. Hon. David S. Kauffman, mem ber of Congress from Texas, died suddenly of apoplexy, in Washing ton’. Mr. Kauffman has represen ted Texas ever since her annexation, lie was a man of good talents and many estimable qualities. He was a native of Cumberland county, Pensylvania. The love of obstinacy is so great in the human family, that we actu ally believe that if the legislature should make it penal to help men in distress, the number of How ards would spring up in the com munity would be equal to felons. Put a man on the free list, and his desire to visit theatres falls to zero in a moment. Mrs. Martha Myers, the last sur vivor of the massacre of Wyoming, died at Kingston, Luzerne county, on the 4th of January, aged 89. Her father, Thomas Bennett, was one of the forty white men who built the stockade called “ Forty Fort.” NEW CHURCH BOOKS.

PARSONS. WISE MAXIMS. POOR RICHARD devoted a portion of his life to the public, by elucidating what was alike, for the inter st of all, and with truth it. could be said, if all his maxims were strictly adhered to, the pre sent condition of many would be improved; but in all bis waitings, lie never has said money spent for necessary clothing was ill spent ; his advice was —let your dress he marked with neatness, and seasonable.
