MIS- ELL A EOUS.
A GROUP OF EMINENT MEN.

~
ARMAND MARRAsT, one of the Secretaries
Of the Provisional Government, is the prin-
cipal editor Of the National. He is of d.
minulive statue, and very thin, with light
graceful figure, and pale, pensive counle-
nance, and his age borders on forty. He
married, some years ago, an English lady
the daughter Of M. Bert, Ambrose, the au-
thor. His talents are Of the highest order :;
and the vigor of his style is appreciated by
every one who is accustomed to peruse the
"leaders'' in the National. A stern and I'M
flinching Republican, he has suffered prose-
cution, persecution and exile, on account Of
his opinions, during the despo.ic sway of
Louis Philippe; and he now occupies proud
position in that democracy which he hel ped
to establish.
Generals BEDEAU and EAMoRIc1ERE are
both young men, and earned high military
renown in Algiers. The former is an adj
mirable taclician in the art Of war; the LAT
Ter is characterized by daun,less, dashing,
Murat kind of bravery.
ADMIRAL BAUDIN. who is nominated to the
command of the Mediterranean fleet, is one
| Of the finest naval officers in the French SER
vice. He can boast of never having been
beaten, although he has seen fair share of
hard fighting. He commanded the squadron
which, some years ago, blockaded Mexico
and his splendid achievement of taking the
fort Of Sa int Juan d'Ulloa in six minutes is
we'll known. GARNER PAGES, the Mayor of
Paris, has been an unfinching Republican
ever since he was capable Of forming opin-
ions for himself M. CARNoT, the Provisional
Minister of Public Instruction, is the son of
the famous Conventonalis, of the same name
He is now in his for.y-six,h year. ALBERT
the artisan, was foreman in factory in one
Of the faubourgs, and is well-informed, en-
ligh.ened, shrewd, and, a. the same time, an
unassuming man.
NJ. GARNER PAGES, who has been distin-
guished for a year or two pas. as one of the
most prominent members Of the opposition
is still young man. His life has been
marked by none of those striking periods
through which Lamar.ine and Arsgo have
passed. As an orator he has acquired high
reputation in The Chamber of Deputies,
where the boldness and vigor of his language
rendered him extremely popular among the
members Of the ''extreme left" His life has
been distinguished by strict integrity of
character and faithful adherence to his
principles. His manners are unaffected and
simple, and have won him favor with the
people.
NJ. LEDRU RoLLlN is better known in this
country by the strong interest he has taken
in the Irish Repeal Question, than by his
political course in Paris. He is perhaps the
most thorough radical member OF the Pro-
visional Government. He is a man of an
exceeding active and aspiring mind, and was
among the the very first to take advantage
of the revolutionary crisis which has result
ed in the present triumph Of the party to
which he belongs.
M. MARIE is one of the most noted advo-
Gates of Paris. He was elected bu. shor,
time since to the Chamber of Deputies. He
is distinguished by sound, practical talent
rather than any marked traits Of genius, and
i. is probably to this that he owes his pre-.
sent conspicuous station.
EDUCATION FOR HAPPINEss.-Iti is a GU.
rous phenomenon in human affairs, tina
some of those matters in which Education j:
most potent, should have been almost the
least thought Of as branches of it. VIVA
you teach boy of Latin and Greek may be
good but these things are with him but q
> little time of each day in his after life
What you teach him Of direct moral pre-
cep,s, may be very good seed; it may grow
> up, especially if it have sufficient moisture
from experience bu. then again, man is
happily, not doing obvious right or wrong
all day long. What you teach him of any
bread getting art, may be of some use to hin
as to The quantity and quality of bread he
will get; but he is not always with his ar,
With himself he is always. How important
then, i, is, whether you have given him :
happy or a morbid turn of mind whether
the current of his life is clear, wholesome
stream, or bitter as Marah. The education
to happiness is possible ,hing,-uo. to ;
happiness supposed to rest upon enjoyment.
of any kind, but to one built upon con,en
aud resignation. This is the best part o
Philosophy. This enters into the wisdom
; spoken of in the Scriptures. Now, i. car
