KEEP QUIET.

We give the following extract on this sui
ject from one of Dow, Jr's. excentric se.-
mons:
My hearers-what happy state of mind
is that of perfect quietness! mean as nearly
perfect as this jostling world will admit
How delicious when our thoughts lie sweetly
|reposng, all Struggled together in the bosom's
warm nest, like a lot of little pigs in the
straw, while the mother is away! How de-
lightfuI when all is peace and quietness with
in-when not breeze of envy, jealousy ,anx-
Iiety, or fear, distnrbs The smooth surface of
the souls siIvery lake-or when upon the
spiritual lake, the golden hues of heaven are
exhibited, and cententment, bike a swan, sits
smoothing its feathers by the margin!
My dear friends-you all seek for quiet,
and yet you don't know how to obtain it
You frightenit away in your eagerness TO
grasp it; you grow feverish and thirsty in your
anxiety 10 search out well-springs of its re-
reshing waters and fret yourself in all man
ner of ways, because your porcupine will al
low neither peace nor comfort tc dwell WITH
in you.
My hearers-the babe cries for quiet, the
soldier fights for il, and you will fret for it.
Now, what is the use of fretting? To Dor
row the language of another, this is world
| of ups and downs, of crosses and contradic-
lions. Every day turns up something TO
disturb the equanimity of ones temper; but
iii is worse than useless TO fret. Fretting is
| like caustc applied to sore; it infames
but never cures. A fretful spirit is never
! happy and it drives happiness from all other
spirits with which it comes in contact. l
saw then, if the world goes wrong, end it
does pretty often, don't fret. lf A. cheats
and then laughs at you for gerdant one.
make the best OF it, and keep cool. If you
break your leg or find your favorite seat at
the lyceum occupied-if The stage upsets, or
the cars leave you behind-ifthe cook spells
your dinners or the thick headed servant
lms-delivers an important message-if the
.dear image ofits mother" repays your car
Iesses by thrusting its fingers into your plate
of soup. and wiping them on your snow
white shirt bosom-if the banks fail and
States repudiate-keep your temper. Re-
! peat the alphabet, read the hundred and nine
lteenth psalm, and do and say any thing OF
good report, but as you value quetness of
mind and the good temper of others, don't
lfret. 1t is marvellous how much good ma
Iture and patience will do towards curing the
ills to which flesh and spirits are heirs.

RELIGION OF THE DOG.

The following original anecdote of Burns,
is ina work entitled "The Philosophy OF the
Seasons" by Rev. Henry Duncan:
81 well remember with what delight | lis
tened TO an interesting conversation which,
while yet schoolboy, | enjoyed an opportu-
nifty ofhearng in my father'smeanse, between
the poet Burns and another poet, my near re-
lation, the amable Blackjack. The subject
was the fidelity of the dog. Burns took up
the question with all the ardor and kindly
feelings with which the conversation OF that
extraordinary man was so remarkably imbued.
It was a subject well suited 10 call forth his
powers; and when handled by such aman, not
less suited TO interest the youthful fancy
The anecdotes by which it was illustrated,
have long escaped my memory; but there
was one sentiment expressed by Burns, with
his characteristic enthusiasm which as 1t
threw new light into my mind, shall never
forget. "Man,'' said he, sis the God OF tie
dog. He knows no other; and see how he
worships him! With what reverence he
crouches at his feet, with what love he fawns
upon him; with what dependence he looks
up 10 him. His whole soul is wrapped up IN
his God; and the powers and faculties OF his
nature are devoted to his service; and these
powers and faculties are exalted by the IN
tercourse, it ought just TO be so with the
Christian; but the DOGS put the Christians TO
shameifn

WAR FOR OREGON.-It has been sug
gested in distinguished quarters that the ter
ritory of Oregon is worthless. 1t has also
been said on both sides of the Atlantic tha
the territory cannot long be governed eithel
from Westminster or Washington; but that
will require separate government ofitsown
If either Of these assertions be true, war, in
this age of civilization, to determine the title
to Oregon, will be smonstrous' and "impl-
GUS" beyond any ioager Of battle in history
The following verses from an ancient news
paper will fully illustrate the folly ofboth ma
tons that engage in it--Boston Daily Ad-
rertiser. s
CLUMp and CLoD, two surely clowns,
As reeling home one night
From alehouse, where their sappy crowns
They'd soak'd in sad'ning plight,
While all the azure-tinted sky ~
Spread out its clear expanse, ~
And all the glttering train on high.
Seem'd DER their heads to dance
Quoth Clump to Clod, 81 tell thee what!

AS much good pasture land had got
As | can see blue sky"
Sand l." quoth Clod to ClumP, "should
like
Thy wish to by far.
And have, TO prove wealihier tyke,
An OK for every STAR"
"Ah butt says Clump, "to weed them all
What pasture could be vound2"
sEnough," says Ciod, "vor great and small
I'd weed them on thy ground.n
"What! and without my leave?" says Clump:
SAY, that would" says Cloddy.
Quoth Clod, sThen thee my hide shall
thump,
Ior will hump thy body" s es
So tot they went, both Clump and Clod,
As fast as fist could tag,
Till both lay sprawling on the sod,
And scarce fist could wag.
snow where's your oxen, Cloda" says
Clump;
Sand where, - says Clod, 'your groundg'
Both sigh'd and, carcase rais'd on rump,
In vain for both look'd round:
Then, shaking hands, they cursed all jars,
And all deceiving eyes
That looked for oxen in the stars,
And pasture from the skies.

A DREAM OF THE WEST.
BY MRS. JAMES A. BEvERrDeE.

Away to the far West, awayi sa
Where bright Pacific's wave
In sparkling beauty wanders by,
The flowery shore TO lave.
The world grows old around US mere,
And our weary spirits pine,
For the wild and far-off solitudes,
Where the stars in silence shine;
Keeping their lonely watch as when
A thousand years ago,
They looked upon the silent glen
And on the untrodden snow.
Away! Ito where the moss grown cliff,
In solemn grandeur frown,
Where the unnamed eagle proudly sits,
And in quiet peace looks down
Down on the Wales and prairies wide,
Where man hath never trod,
Nor with his Puny arm hath marr'd
The glorious works of God.
Oh! for but one brief hour to roam
In those primeval bowers,
BY natures hand in beauty wreathed,
And gemm'd with untouched flowers.
In those lone forests, dark and deep,
Whose branches greet the skies,
While softly on their shadowy sleep
The plainiive west wind sigbs:
And seems TO fancy's dreaming ear
Upon its distant moan,
To bring voice of other years,
And wall The ages gone.
There the deep sounding waterfall
Mufmur amid the spray,
And echo through the silent air
Repent the wild birds lay.
And through the balmy summers night
The rose and violet weep,
While softly ON their dewy tears
The pensive moonbeams sleep.
There, as the zephyr's gentle breath
Waves the wild flowers of spring,
No sound of woe, nor sigh of care
Is borne uponits wing.
For man hath come 10 breathe
Contagion on the air
To blight with wrong, or rear TO gold
His sordid affairs there.
With steps unthrall'd and spirit free
I'd bid the world farwell,
And in those glorious solicitudes
With God and Natue dwell.

THE PLAGUE OF

Help as English Trollepes say we cal
all servants in America, is sore source o.
trouble to housekeepers throughout the free
States South of Mason and Dixon they
are, of course, provided for in their peculi-
ar way. Major Noah, in his last 'Mes-
senger,' has one of his characteristic edito
rials, on this subject, which contains some
matters that address themselves TO 'the bu-
siness and BOSOM Of almost, if not every
family, hereabouts. He says:
sWe have found out the secret why SER
wants plague the mistress of the house al
most to death, and why first rate waiting
girl, in England makes a most Indifferent
servant in America, viz: the freedom OF
our Institutions, which not only apply TO
all callings and occupations, but are assum-
ed by all; and all become infected with lib
erty and equality the moment they touch
our soil. This 'largest liberty was not un.
derstood by our Revolutionary fathers to
extend beyond political rights, and was
not remotely intended to break down the
barriers Of society In England, man
will hire a groom at smaller salary, il

And twine them round each loved one's neck

A smile is born on icy lips--a sparkle in the

OF him who crushed, by pain and grief, ha.
lain him down to die,
In hate, it ebbs and leaves a void, a chasm
within the breast, ...g.
That racks the troubled soul of man. and will
not give il rest. .......,. .... ....
The brow is stern, the lip compressed, and

A brothers love and sympathies are looked
upon as wiles,
And locked up in our selfshness, we hate him
for his smiles. -
But if this heavenly fount should fail, or flow
with feebler tide, ..
Where could we ever look for joy and happi-
ness beside;
Or sprinkle o'er the tolls of life shower of
light and bloom, ...
And make its pains 10 fly our steps forever to

To him whose food is scattered crumbs, whose
couch the frozen earth,
Who hath not had one happy hour, e'en from

It is holy precious sight to note his beaming

Whene'er some bright and lovely child may
