now making, with view to decide on The most
suitable points for the erection Of fotresses and O.
Their works of defence, the result Of which will be
presented to you by the Secretary Of War at an
early day together with plan for the effectual
protection OF the friendly Indians, and the pern,a-
nent defence of the frontier States.
By the report of the Secretary eff the Navy, here
with communicated, it appears that lnremitted
exertions have been made at the different nary
Yards to carry into effect all authorized measures
for tho extension and employment OF cur naval
force. The launching and preparation of the ship
Of the line Pennsylvania, and the complete re-
pairs Of the ships of the line Ohio, Delaware aud
Columbus, may be noticed as forming respectable
addition 10 this important arm Of national de-
fence. Our commerce and navigation have rsceiv-
edincreased aid and protection during the present
year. Our squadrons in the Pacific and ON the
Brazilian station have been much increased, and
lthatin ths Mediterranean, although small, is ade-
qiate 10 the wants Of our commerce in that sea-
Additions have been made to our squadron on the
West India station, where the large force under
Commodore Dallas has bsen most actively and eff
hciently employed il protecting our commerce, in
preventing the importation Of slaves, and IN Coz
operating with officers of the Army in Carrying on
the war in Florida.
Inc satisfactory condition Of our naval force a.
broad, leaves lceour disposal the means Of col-
yenientiy proy ling for a hene squadron, for the
Of Commerce upon our extensive coast.
The amount OF appropriations required for such a
squadron will be found in the general estimate for
the naval services for the year 1898.

state. live scan the subject closely,
and suffer not ourselves to be imposed
upon-or rather impose not upon our
selves, by false appsarances-we shall
find that happiness, and the means of
enjoyment, are about equally distribu-
ted among those equally virtuous and
equally mertorious, be they rich Or be
they poor; be their situation, business,
or calling what it may be they princes
orpeasants, public functionaries or pri-

ais, perplexities and disappointments
there isno exemption to any-and
hence the murmurings of one class a.
gainst another-the array of the poor
against the rich-the jealousies of one
occupation towards different, are fol-
ly in the extreme, and arise from false
and deceptive views of the organiza-
ton of society and the equal distribu-
ton of the means Of happiness.

Danger Of Keeping Bad Company.
The danger ofkeeping bad company
arises principally from our aptness to
initiate and catch the manners and sem
tilnents Of others. IN our earliest youth
the contagion Of manner is observable
in the boy yet incapable Of having any
learning instilled into him. We easily
discover from his first actions, and rude
attempt, at language, the kind of per-
sons with whom he has associated we
see the early spring Of education, or the
first wild shoots of rusticity. As he en-
tiers farther into life, his behaviour and
conversation take their caste from the
company he keeps. Observe the pea
SAINT and the man Of educatou-the
difference is striking-yct God has be-
slowed equal talents upon each. The
only difference is, that they have been
placed in different scenes Of life, anc
had intercourse with persons of differ.
ent stations.
Manners and behavior are not more
easily caught than opinions and princi

Can it be that America under such

are not" Forbid it my countrymen.
Forbid it heaven.
