WHAT A Man can po.-No man can
tell how much he can do, till he tries to
see what can be done by system and ar
rangement. 1t was said of man who
was distinguished with an almost unpar-
alleled number Of civil trusts, through an
eventful period Of our country's history,
that while he was clerk to the House Of
Representatives of one of the thirteen
original states, he actually wrote off the
whole Of the Bible, to occupy his leisure
hours, besides attending promptly and
regularly to his official duties. II was a
good remark Of n wealthy and sagncious
merchant, on being met by friend who
knew he had grea, number of vessels
in port, requiring his personal attention,
in addition to his other mutiiarous busi-
ness, and was nccosted by him-"Why,
sir, / should think you would be in hur-
ry, you have such an immense amount Of
business to do" "That," said the mer-
chant, "is the very reason am not in
hurry. have far too much to do to be
in hurry with it. Boston Courier.

! NURSERY MAxIMs.- mothers
will always keep in mind that they are
the first book read and the last laid aside
in every chiId's library. Every look,
word, tone and gesture, nay even dress,
makes an impression.
! Remember that children are men in
miniature, and although they are childish
and should be allowed to act as children,
still all our dealings with them should be
manly not morose.
BE always kind and cheerful in their
presence-playful, but never light, coin
municative, but never extravagant in
statements, nor vulgar in language nor
gestures.
Before a year old entire submission
should be secured; this may be often
won by kindness, hut must sometimes be
exacted by the rod, though one chas-
tisemcnt | consider enough to secure the
object. IL not, the parent must tax
himself for the failure, and not to the
perverseness of the child. After one
conquest, watchfulness, kindness and
perseverance will secure obedience.
Never trile with child nor speak
beseechingly to it when it is doing an
improper thing, or when watching an op-
portunity to do 40.
Always follow commands with close
and careful watch, until you see that the
child does the thing communicable
lowing Of no evasion, nor modifica alton
unless the child ask for it, and it is ex-
pressly granted.
Never break a promise made TO a
child, or if you do give your reasons,
and if in fault own it, and ask pardon if
necessary.
Never trifle with a child's feelings
while under discipline.
Children ought never to be governed
by fear Of the rod or private chastise-
ments or Of dark rooms.
Correcting a child on suspicion or
without understanding the whole matter,
is the way to make him hide his faults
by eGuivoc alton or a lie--to Justify him
selC-or to disregard you altogether,
because he sees that you do not under
stand the case and are in the wrong

Miscellaneous.

HAppINRssi- IF we would only mo-
derase our desAes, and be content with
the things that we have, how infinitely
hp,oier would we be. We should not
.asse TO labor for worldly goods--but
our hearts shouid not be fixed upon
their possession. We make ourselves
miserable in anticipating wealth or
something desirable. And, after we
have toiled on our weary, anxious years
TO grasp the dear desire, it eludes our
hands or poisons our heart in the pos
session. FIVE would know real en-
joyment, il must be now the future
will not give II, il we cannot end it in
the present. Happiness is condition
Of the mind, not the result Of wished.
for possession.
The arms by which the i'll disposi.
Gons Of the world are TO be combated,
and the qualities by Which it is to be
reconciled 10 us, and we reconciled to
it, are moderation, genlleness, little
indulgence TO others, and great deal
Of dislrust Of ourselves, which are no,
qualities Of a mean spirit, as some may
possibly think them, but virtues Of
great and noble kind, and such as dig
nifty our nature, as much as they con-
tribute TO our repose and fortune for
nothing can be so unworthy Of well
composed soul, as, to pass away life in
chickering's and ltigations, in snarling
and scufiling with every one about Us.
We must be at peace with our species,
if not for their sakes, yet very mach
for our own. Burke.
The poor man is, from his situation,
chtoof from thousand temptations to
vice aand that leviiy and dissipation
of thought, which are the common at.
pendants Of ease and atlluence, are for
ced, to- give way TO reason and cool re-
which are as closely allied as

THE LAST MOMENTS OF A DY-

The duties Of physician frequently
lead hm into scenes Of the most SOL
emn and'impressive character. When
called to visit patient, affording no
probable chance for the success Of his
remedies, the occasion becomes one Of
painful interest and anxiety. Perhaps
the individual who has entrusted to
you his life may be neighbours COM
panion, bosom friend, endeared by
many social relations, the preserva-
ton of whose existence causes the
greater solicitude in proportion to the
intimacy OF the acquaintance you have
had with him. When dissolution is
threatened under such circumstances,
it fills the mind with deep sensibility,
and leads il iato train Of serious me-
dhalion.

FROM TEXAS.
New OaLzANs, July 10.

By the arrival from Texas yester-
day morning, it appears that there is
but little likelihood OF an engagement
between the eontending parties. The
advance guard Of either army, it is be-
lieved, are not within one hundred 81
fifty miles of one another, and there
was scarcely any probability Of the
Mexican army advancing, as they
we're short Of provisions and every ne
cessary munition Of war.
The Texan force is estimated at a.
bout 5000 men, but from the number
volunteers hocking in, particularly
from the Western and Southern States,
il was presumed that, in few weeks,
it would be augmented to 5000 men.
