Govern the Temper,
We question whether any cause pro
duces mure ill tu man than an ungoveru
il temper, /i is certain that iis possess
or endures inoie pain from the ordinary
disappointments and misfortunes which
beset his path of life, An unruly temper
is incompatible with those gentle virlurt
and amiable traits which attract friend
ship and add a soft am) pleasing lustre to
existence. Alt exercise of the bad pas
sions of our nature not only repels the
esteem of the worthy and good, but cre
ates a positive ill will, aversion, and of
ten, animosity, which poison every
pleasure however moderate or exciting.
There ure many persons of quick tem
pers, w hose preponderating trails of char
acter m.iv, nevertheless, be agreeable
and attractive. Suclt persons are liable
to occasional flashes of feeling which soon
pass ofl and leave them unruffled, calm
and kindly disposed. It would lie great
ly desirable to be tree from these betray’
•ng, and often very harinlul impulses,
but usually, there are checks and balan
ces in the characters of persons, subject,
to them, which never allow them, to be
placed wholly beyond the reach of pru
dence and safely.
But how different it is with those w hose
hearts have been overrun with the pois
onous weeds of uncontrolled passion.—
in whose bosoms anger, malice impa
tience and malevolence, keep up perpet
ual irritations and frequency storms ol
wild and ferocious thoughts and eiuo.
lions. Such persons know nothing of
the sweets of mental serenity, the spells
of pure and holy friendship, and the ele
gance, dignity and grace of that mental
beauty and moral goodnesss, which con
stitute at onre the charms of personal ex.
isltnce, and the sources of constant so
daljenjoyinent. What is the worth of
the man whose virtues are counterbalan
ced by ionium ruble and greatly prepon
derating faults i
if such unhappiness and to many so
cial evils grow out of the unruly passions
of the mind, how important it is to culti
vate the tempers of children and youth.
Nearly every tiling depends upon educa
tion. We do not mean merely the en
lightenment of the mind with knowledge,
but the cultivation of the gentler and bet
ter feelings of our nature. The culture
of tl* mind is the first great step in the
culture of the heart. That softens and
subdues its natural asperities and its dis
position to wander from the path ol rec
titude. Reason is the great faculty giv
en to iis, by a good Providence, to guide
and control us, to lead iis to safety and
not de-traction—to point out what w ill
bless and what will curse us. Then, of
course, the more we strengthen reason,
the more we will be prepared to he bene
fitted by its possession. Enlightened
reason is the great prop of the mind,
which hears it aloft and cheers and sus
tains it amidst all ilie trials and difiicuL
ties of existence. It humanizes the feel
ings, and witli proper moral culture, be
stows those amiable dispositions, so love
ly in open mid ingenuous characters.—-
When we contemplate the sum of human
ills, and know that they are produced
more by our own bad conduct than the
accidents of human life, how important,
becomes the question of governing the
temper, which, unrestrained, clogs me
mory w ith pain and life itself, w ith per
petual annoyance, criminality and grief.
Where’s there’s a will there’s a Way-
Some years since, there lived in Paris
a very intelligent Imok-fancier, who,
however, possessing more brains than
cash was constantly forced to restrain his
ardent longings for the gorgeous editions
of both new and standard works, which
cnnstanstly tempted him on .M. Go>sl
lin’s counter.
Lounging one morning, as usual, into
these charmed precincts, lie saw display
ed two splendid copies of Victor Hugo’s
Orientals, the illustrations being all
printed on tinted Indian paper. Almost
every morning he returned to gaxe with
wistful eyes at these beauteous books ;
he opened them, turned over the pages,
looked and Imured but he did not pur
chase. The price of each copy was (if.
ty crowns, and our amateur could as
easily have given the mines ol Potosi as
such a sum.
One day, while he stood according to
custom, admiring Les Orient ales, a
young lady, followed by an attendant,
entered Gusselin’s shop. She was verv
simply dressed, bill had an unmistakable
air of elegance and high birth.
4 I wish,’ she said. ‘to purchase some
new and handsomely illustrated work.’
Rl. Gosselin happened at the moment
|o be engaged in giving directions to one
of his clerks, and the book-fancier boldly
answered in his place.
4 Here, Madame, is a beautiful pub
lication, which cannot fail to please
you’
4 What is it ?’
4 A new work, bv M- Victor Hugo.—
Les Orient i‘es; I need nut prai,e it ;
its beauties speak lor themselves.’
4 ft is indeed, a Intidsomc book said
the young lady, after having turned over
the pages.
4 W hat is it’s price ?’
1 One hundred crowns.’
1 1 will take it: have the kindness to
give it to my servant.*
* And, taking out her purse, she laid
the sum demanded on the c iunler, and
bowing graceful to the master ol the es
tablishment and his impromptu assistant,
went away.
4 Really, my good friend,’ said Mr.
Gosselin, you are a capital man ol busi
ness ! You would make your fortune
as a bookseller! How coolly you de
manded and received double the rigitl
price for the book !’
4 A/S Jot! my dear fellow,’ replied
the amateur, ‘your two copits were
worth a hundred crowns. Here is the
money, l have sold one, and will now
take home the other.
‘ This he did in triumph ; and the sec
ond splendid copy of Les Orientates,
still adorns his library.
MATERNAL INFLUENCE.
During a lecture on Popular Educa*
tion, recently delivered, Gov. Briggs
related the following impressive incident:
Twelve or fifteen years ago I left
Washington three or four weeks during
the spring. While at home, 1 possessed
myself of the letters of Mr. Adams’ moth
er and read them with extetding interest.
I remember an expression in one ol the
letters addressed to her son, while yet a
boy twelve years of age in Europe.—
Says she, ‘I would rather see you in your
grave than you should grow up a profane
and graceless hoy.’
After returning to Washington, I went
over to Mr. Adams’ seat one day, and
said to him. ‘Mr. Adams, l have found
out who made you.’
‘What do you mean ?’ said he.
1 replied, *1 have been reading the let
ters of y our mother!’ Had 1 spoken
that dear name to some little boy who
had been for weeks away from his dear
mother, his eye could not have flashed
more brightly, or his face glowed more
quickly, titan did the eye and lace of that
venerable old man when 1 pronounced
the name ol his mother. He started up
in his peculiar manner, and emphatically
said :
‘Yes, Mr. Briggs, all is good in me 7
owe to my mother.’
Olt, w hat a testimony was that from this
venerable man to his mother, who had in
his remembrance all the scenes of his man
hood !
‘All that is good / owe to my mot her!
‘Mothers, think of this when your
hright-eyed children is about you.—
Mothers may make the first impressions
upon their children, and those impres
sions will be die last to be effaced.
A Yankee after the Prince President.
A Paris letter in the New York 7/er
aid mentions the (act that an American
printer named Walker, was arrested in
November last in the neighborhood of
the Ely see, and confessed that his inten
tion was to murder the President. This
fanatic wus sent back to New York.—
News has been received that WaLKER
had left New York and sailed for Europe
with the intention in put his fatal project
into effect. Consequently all the Ameri

France are searched and examined with
the greatest scrutiny.
It is no use tu search. If a genuine

Shoes.—Whenever shoes or bools
are taken from the leet, it will greatly
prolong die upper leather from cracking,
if the wearer was to bend back the sole
ol the shoe on the knee, nr the back of a
chair, and also pinch up the upper leather;
it should be done when warm from the
feet. Shoes worn only once a week
should be done in this manner every Sun
day night. When put on again the next
Sunday morning, they will have the leel
of anew pair. I was told this by a shoe
maker out ol business, us a secret, some
years ago, and have always attended to
it since w ith a great saving to my pock

Atlanta Intelligencer, 2Qlh ult.
ffj- A correspondent from Washinton
writes us:—“ Every thing here looks Ia
vorable for our party. Rantoul made a
speec h yesterday, which will be lollowed
by still greater division in Undemocratic
ranks. He pronouuced the Fugitive
Slave Law unconstitutional, and declared
his eternal hostility to the South. The
Fire-eaters boldly unnounce that they
will never submit to the Compromise lest
at Baltimore. These are some of the
Democratic harmonies.”
This Mr. Rantoul, one of the most
rabid abolitionists known to the country,
and who thus in advance proclaims his
“eternal hostility to the South,” has al
ready been nominated as a member o| the

GOV. COBB IN NEW™YORK.

New York, March 9—Hon. Howell
Cobb, of Georgia, is the recipient of the
most distinguished mark of respect, froir.
our citizens and city-government, to
whom his national and patriotic course
in the recent slavery excitement has fa
vorably commanded him. The common
Council, last evening, adoped a resolu
tion appointing a committee to wait
upon him, and lender him the use of the
Governor’s room, forthe purpose of meet
ing and exchanging congratulations with
our citizens.
SEC >NNI> DESPATCH]
New York, March 10th Governor
Cobb of Georgia, was publicly received
at the City Hall lo day by the Mayor,
who addressed him in a warm speech of
welcome, to which the Governor’replied
in appropriate let ms. A general intro
duction then took place.
The Richmond Times publishes the fol
lowing note from a correspondent at
Buchanan, Boutetourt county Virginia:
A few days ago, whilst some men were
engaged m blasting out limestone a short
distance below this place, for the purpose
of making a limekiln, they came across
what seemed to be a cave, with an en
iance some six or eight feel in bight and
pwards of one hundred feet long, with
two appartments. Ir. the first they found
some earthen ware and a large stone cross
on which there was some carving, but it
wns so much defected by (he hand of time
that it was scarcely discrnible. After they
(ound these things theyjcame to Buchanan
and made known their discovery. Some
of the citizens, with lanterns, proceeded
immediately to the cave to make further
search.
They found nothing in the first room
but what 1 have already mentioned, but
on entering the second appartment were
surprised to find a skeleton seated on a
huge iron chest, with his buck resting a
gainst the wall. On opening this chest
they found it to contain gold coin, per
fectly smooth on one side and a cross with
some characters on theot %er. The gold
in the chest, by weight is worth seven
hundred and eighty-three dollars.
How these things came in this cave we
are uot able to imagine for the coin is
one which we have never seen before.
Effect oOlouotoii) oiF Health.
In Dr. Draper’s admirable address to
the Medical College, on the death of Dr.
Paterson lie makes a few truthful remarks:
No one man for any length of lime
can pursue one vocation or one train of
llio’t without mental injury; nay,l will go
further, without insanity. The constitu
tion of the brain is such that it must have
its time to repose. Periodicity is stamp
ed upon it. Nor is it enough that it is
awake and in action by day. and in the
silence of the night obtains rest and re
pair, that same periodicity which belongs
to it as a whole, belongs, 100, to all its
constituent parts. One portion of it can
not be called into incessant activity with
out a permanent injury ensuing, its
different regions, devoted to different
functions must have their seperate times
of rest. The excitement of one part
must be coincident with a pause in the
action of another. Ido not think it pos
sible for mental equilibrium to be main
tained with one ideajor one monotonous
mode of life.
There is a necesity for men of great
intellectual endowments, whose minds are
often strained to the utmost, to fall back
on other pursuits, and thus it will always
be that one seeks reffnge in (he pleasures
ol quiei country life, another in the chase,
in foreign travel, another in social a
musements. Nay with all men, enven
those whose lot has been cast in a more
lowly condition, whose hard destiny it
is to spend their whole lives in pursuit of
their daily bread; with one train of
thought, and one varying course of e
vents, what would become of them if it
were not for such principles as this ?
Men often say that the pleasures of reli
gion, and of Christian laifh, are w holly
prospective, and to be realized only in
another world. In this they make a mis
take, these consolations commence even
here, and temper the bittresl ol fate.
The virtuous laborer, though he may
be ground down with the oppressions ol
his social condition, is not without relief;
at the anvil, the loom, or even the bot
tom of the mine, lie is leading a double
existence—the miseries of the body find a
contrast in the calm ofllie soul—the war
far without is compensated by the peace
within—the dark night of life here serves
only to brighten the golries of the pros
pect beyond. Hope is the daughter of
despair. Arid thus a kind Providence so
overrules events, that it matters not in
wliat station it may be—wealthy or poor,
intellectul or lowly; a refuge is always at
hand, and the mind worn out with one
thing turns to another, and its physical
excitement is followed by physical repose.
The Political Canldron at Washington.
The Washington correspondent draws
the following graphic sketch of the trou
bles and dissentions of parties and politi
cians at the national Capital. Let mem
bers of the Union party of Georgia ex
amine it closely:
The political cauldron again commen
ces to boil and bubble, though the com
motion is not visible on the surface.—
The intrigues of the presidential wire
ptillers are unintermitting as the period
approaches for the party nominations.—
Never before at a lime so near the crisis
were parties and partisans in such utter
confusion as now. Ingenious guesses
and speculations may be indulged in by
persons who profess to be very knowing
on this subject, but nothing like an ap
proximation to certain results can be
made by anybody.
The hopes of a renoon, so sanguine a
short time ago, on the part of the file
leaders ofboth the whig and democratic
paties, have fallen wofully since recent
developments. The elements of each
have been found more incompatible when
the effort is made to amalgamate them,
than many persons supposed possible.—
Northern Democrats and the Southern ’
find it hard to reconcile their dfferences, *
and similar difficulties, and even greater;
ones, beset the witigs, whilefreesoil holds
the balace ot power between either at the
North and the Union organization plays
a similar at the Sounth. The freesoil
laction flushed with victory, and the con
trole of three at least of the largest North
ern States, are deierminedio drive a hard
bargain with both parlies. They are
bent on securing not only a place in the
National Convention, but jilso a share of
the spoils. They will adiniul to no tests,
no guarantees, no pledges, such as Col.
Benton calls ‘interposition on the Balti
more platform by the Nullifies,’ but in
sist oil retaining their principles and (heir
power, as a condition of their co opera
tion with the old parties, of which they
constitute an important pans. The
Northern wings ofboth parties, in addi
tion to this disturbing element, contuin
w ithin themselves other seeds of divisions
and alienation.. Glance your eye over
the whole field of observation. See the
sqabling and the snarling between Van
Boroniles and Marryites Sewardites and
Websterites, Rmitouliies, Mannites, and
the other countless cliques which now at
tempt lo arrange themselves under the
torn and tattered banners of the old par
ties. What common platform can hold
all thee ‘black spirits and white, blue
spirits and gray ?’ Look at the move
ments of the Southern‘Union’ party, as
indicated by lire Alabama portion of it,
and embraced by the Georgia Unionites.
Most significant of this is the letter of
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, published in
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, a
letter which is very much to the point,
and screws up that party a pilch higher.
if the Southern Union men erenin three
States adopt this course with siucerity and
stick to it, they will get the whip hand uj
the Southern Rights men, if they do not
watch narrowly, aud at least keep up as
high. The indication from the leaders of
that party here, tend to show their pur
pose of holding aloof from both National
Conventions, until they see the platform
and the candidate ol each. If they do
this the effect will be very poteut. /t is
true that the bulk ofthai party in Geor
gia, and Alabama especially, were otigi
nally whigs. So far it would be a positive
loss lo Convention. But they
also have absorbed many Democrats ;
and further than this, if they keep out of
the convention on the ground of rofusing
to affiliate with the Freesoilers, and die
Southern Rights men go in, and find
themselves cheek by jowl with those iden
tical Freesoilers, (he advantage gaiued
by the firmer will be very great. They
will be able to occupy the ground thus
far successfully maintained by their ad
versaries ; (or they will claim the merit
of practice over that ol profession.—
Therefore, if they refuse to make such a
colition, tiiey greatly embarrass the whole
game, as far as (he revorganitaiion of the
old parties is concerned.
THE ORIGIN OF COINS.
The rare beauty o( the YVorld’s Fair
medals, one of which we inspected last
week, suggested a train of reflection on
the history of medals aud coins, and the
means of coining, w hich it may be worth
while, pej haps, to lay before our readers.
In die early ages of mankind, all
traffic, as is well know n, was condticleU
by means of barter. The heardsinan ex
changed itis cattle lor goods, or the mer
chant his goods for loud to eat. But
such a rude condition of affairs could not,
it is clear, continue long ; and the neces
sities of mankind, therefore, led to the
subslitulition of the medium of exchange,
or representative of value. The precious
metals, front their intrinsic worth as well
as their portable character, naturally sug
gested themselves for this purpose. A t
first, however, they were used in simple
bars, without even stamp or coinage, and
were, in such cases, neccessarily weighed,
and often assayed, at every transfer.—
But this being found inconvenient, the
expedient was hit upon of authenticating
the weight and standard by a mark.—
Afterwards, that the needs of commerce
might still further be consulted, the bars
were made of various sizes. In the end,
still further to impress the character of a
legalized currency on the gold, silver,
bronze, or copper employed, appropriate
shapes, differing from those of the simple
bar, were selected, the circular form of
the present coin being that most general
ly adopted.
it was not always, however, that mon
ey was made round. Our British ances
tors prior to the invasion by Julius Cftsar,
employed rings, sometimes siugle, but
oftener made into a chain, for currency.
Large quantities of this species of coin
have been dug up in England, Ireland,
Wales aud Scotland. The smallest piece
of money of this description, which has
yet been discovered, is a gold ring
weighing half a pennyweight. But oth
ers containing three times this weight, or
five, ten, sixteen, or twenty-two times the 1
weight, up to the weight of a pound troy,
have also been discovered— thus proving
that the rings were not intended for or
naments, but for currency. Even among
the Romans circular Cuins were not used
until the time of Servius Tullius, and in
: Great Britain, they were not employed
’ till some time after the conquest by Cm
!tar. Os ail ancient nations, the Greeks
produced the most beautiful coins—those
of the Romans not being particularly el%
eganl liil a late period in (heir history.—
The method|of stamping the piece of mon
ey was simple. Usually the blow which
gave the impress, was struck by a ham
mer ; and, at first, the die was cut in the
face of the instrument itself. So late as
two centuries ago, the coining of money,
even in England, was conducted in a
comparatively rude manner; and many
Spanish quarters yet in circulation, bear
decisive evidence of ‘uncouth coiaiag.—
Even at this day, the coined money of
Europe generally, is disgraceful to art,
and is frequently basely alloyed. The
exceptions are the gold and silver pieces
of England, France, Belgium and Pro
sia Our owu coins are not so good as
they might be, a fact which any person
may verify by comparing them with well
executed medals—that struck in honor of
Mr. Clay, or those issued at tire World’s
Fair, for instance. Some ol the fiuest
coins and medals ever executed were
those issued by the Emperor Napoleon.
Generally, however, the European coins
are as much inferior to those of the Untied
States as these latter are lo the coins of
England or Frace. The worst executed
coins, among civilized nations, are those
of Mexico and tiie South American Stales
generally.
A word more, and we shall have
‘coined’ enough, at least for one reading,
on loins and coining. Money is a
word, we are told by Chambers, derived
from the temple of Jupker AionWa, a here
a metalic currency was first struck by tha
ancients. Cush comes from the French
word cause, a coffer or chest in which
money is kept. pecuniary is deriv
ed Iroui pecus, the Lttiti lor a flock ur
herd of animals these being, in the ear
lier ages, the equivalents for money.
