 The session will without doubt, after Chrlst- mas. be of the greatest interest. The pecul- far and new position of parties-the great loss of MT. Van Buren in popular strength-the arrangements for new Cabinet-the unex- pected changes of political character of some of the States now represented by Jack son Senators-the Inauguration, &c. &c., will all add great importance to every movement of Congress.-N.

 Just Retort.-A gentleman who resides in this vicinity, and who was in Lancaster when Gen. Harrison was there, has furnished the following statement, for the truth of which he pledges his veracity:
 The Hon. James Buchanan, late Minister to Russia, called at house, shortly after Gen. Harrison had been there, and addressing him. selfto young lady of the family, said: So, Miss - understand the Old General has lady, Gen. Harrison was here.' And pray, Miss continued the Sentor, did you not pre- sent him with a petticoatr No, sir,' repli- ed.the young lady, Il did not but if had sword and a petticoat, would have present. ed the sword to the General, and the petticoat to you.'-C Cincinnati Gazette. ~n
 DON'T BE DISCOURAGED. .E- Don't De discouraged, if in the outset of life things do not go on smoothly. It seldom happens that the hopes which we cherish for the future are realized. The path of life in the prospect appears smooth and level enough, but when we come to travel it, we find it all up hill and generally rough enough. The journey is laborious one, and whether poor or wealthy, high or low, we shall find it so, to our disappointment. if we have built on a. ny other calculation. To endure it. with as 1 much cheerfulness as possible, and to elbow our way through the great crowd, hoping for little, yet striving for much, is perhaps the true plan. But
 Don't be discouraged if occasionally you slip down the way, and your neighbor treads over you little, or in other words, don't, let failure or two dishearten you-accidents happen; miscalculations will sometimes be made; things will turn out differently from our expectations, and we may be sufferers It is worth while to remember that fortune is like the skies in April, sometimes cloudy and sometimes clear and favorable; and as it would be folly to despair of again seeing the sun, because today is stormy, so is it unwise to sink into despondency when fortune frowns, since in the common course of things l SARSSeS0 and again.
 Don't be discouraged if you are deceived in the people of the world, they are rotten at | the core. From such sources as these you may be most unexpectedly deceived; and you naturally feel sore under such decep- tions, but to those you must become used i; if you fare as most people do they will lose their novelty before you grow gray. and you will learn to trust men cautiously and exam inc the character closely before you allow them great opportunities to injure you.
 Don't be discouraged under any circumstan-
 ces. Go steadily forward. Rather consult
 your own conscience than the opinions of
 men, though the last are not to be disregard ed. Be industrious; be sober; be honest {:
 deal in perfect kindness with all who come
 in your way, exercising neighborly and ) obliging spirit in your whole intercourse, and f if you do not prosper as rapidly now as some , of your neighbors, depend upon it you will f be as happy --Monthly Repository. r, ], Good Nature.-Dame Grundy was the most Il good natured woman alive-come what s would, every thing was right and nothing y wrong. One day farmer Grundy told neigh - bor that he believed his wife was the most - even tempered woman in the world, for he ]; HcvcT saw her sxees in hie life-4and that for d once he should like to see her so. "WeIl,' g said his neighbor, "go into the woods, and : bring home load of the crookedest wood {, you can find, and if that doesn't make her cross nothing will" Accordingly, to try the experiment, he teamed home load of wood every way calculated to make woman fret. For week or more she used the wood copi-
 ously, but not word of complaint escaped
