How 90 be HAPPY.

Do all the good you can. Whenever you
hear Of poor widow. an orphan child, OF
aged man who is in affection, pay that m
dividual a visit. Do not hoard up all you
earn; give certain portion Of your property
TO the poor.
Never get angry. II you are slandered
or imposed upon, better suffer little than
to retaliate or use harsh language.
Be not proud or selfish. Think no more
highly of yourself and your talents than you
DO Of the capacities Of others. ..I
Pay all you owe. Keep out OF debt.
Get not entangled in the meshes OF the
law; avoid it as the sure gate OF ruin.
Shun vicious pursuits and unPrincipled
associates. Honor the Sabbath; serve God,
and be devoted to truth and religion. Peace
and contentment will smile in your path
Joy dance in your countenance, and every
lane of life before you will be fraught witt
blessings rich and abundant.

WHAT THE TELEGRAPH CAN Do.-Although the
electric telegraph has been in operation in this
country for considerable time, we apprehend
that there are many in the community who have
but faint idea of its value and Importance, as
medium of communicating intelligence. We
would state, for the information OF those who
do not appreciate its usefulness and importance,
that by the line from this city to Boston, in Mas
sachusetts, distance of two hundred and fifty
miles, we received the immensely large number of
seven thousand words in the short space of three
hours, on recent occasion. This, at first sight,
might appear incredible, but it is positive fact
and further, we can tell the doubling, that in add
dition to transmitting this great amount of intel
ligence, fifteen fair and legble copies of it were
made within the same time-the whole OF
which was done under the direction of Mr.
Beach, the operator in the Boston Office, and
MIR. Bull, the chief operator in the New York
Office The electric telegraph Isl without doubt,
the great discovery of the nineteenth century.

MEXICAN AFFAIRs-THE QUARRELs OF OUR
GEaERALs.-The affiirs connected with Mexico
and our conquest of that country, do not interest
the republic TO as great an extent they did pre-
vious TO the French revolution. Their interest
is fading every day. There seem to be now
oaly two points which are calculated to CON-
mand any attention from any person; aud one
is, whether the treaty will be ratified by the
wreck of the Mexican government still existing;
aud the other point is, when will the quarrels
among our generals assume form of decency
aad propriety, and lead to a peaceful termina-
ton
With respect to the first matter-the confrma-
ton of the treaty by the Mexican government
we do not think that it is of much consequence
whether they confirm it or not. 1t is pro.
bable, however, that it will be confirmed by
the shadow OF government that may exist
at Queretaro. 1t is true many persons write
from Mexico, giving different limitations, and
entertaining different opinions; but the re-
cent events in Europe, the entire destruction
OF the French monarchy, and the probable trou-
bles, II not revolution, in Spain and else where,
will at once close up every ave nue. of intrigue
which had been opened by Paroles, and those in
Mexico hostile to the United States, and calcu.
lated to prOtract the war. The Mexicans will
see at once that there is no chance for that re-
public but instant submission to any terms that
We may choose to offer them, or their annihlla-
ton as an independent republic. After ALL we
suppose that the amount of money offered to
them, at the rate of three millions per year, for
five years, will always produce a government OF
sufficient strength and standing to confirm the
treaty, and preserve peaceful relations of tole-
rable kind between the two countries, during
the period for which these payments will con-
tinue.
With regard to the quarrels Of our generals,
aud principally that between Generals Scott and
Worth, and others, the public are beginning to en-
terrain but one sentiment, and that is unqualified
and unmitigatcd contempt forthe whole. These
gentlemen aud their friends think that they are all
and all-eyerything that they monopolize the
glory of the two campa 'gns; and nothing is talk
I'd Of but the glory Of Scott, the wonderful
