How BEAUTIFUL is TRurH.-In this naugh,
ty world, where there is SO much falsehood and
deceit, whereby hearts are enstranged, and re-
ordinations, assaults and crimes sngendered, how
beautiful is the true thought, word and deed
Like the sun smiling out amid the angry storm;
like the bright stars shining through the heavy
night cloud like friend grasping the hand offriend,
tue ringing on the shield Of vice, like heaven upon
earth and God in man, is truth. Precious and
priceless, learer than smile of friend, love of pa
rent, or pomp Of fame. Truth is dearer than all
BY this we know the nature and value Of things
Falsehood is a craven, bastard.

the fact is referred to as adding to the present en-
barrassments of the money market. The rich
return begins, however, to flow back and i'll

DO SOME THING.


The idler is,a sponge on society, and curse to
his own existence. He is content to vegetate
merely-he springs up like toad stool and is a.
bout as useless. He never troubles himselfto pro-
duce single thought, and his hands are never
concerned in the fashioning of a single article Of
use or ornament
The most important principle life is pursuit.
Without pursuit---no one can be ever really
happy and hold proper rank in society. The
humble wood sawyer is a better member Of society
than the flop without brains or employment. Yet
many young men of our great cities strive for dis
tinction awarded to fools. They are content to
exist on the products of other hands, and are in
truth little better than barefaced rogues. They
live on ill-gotten spos-go on tick-lie and cheat
rather than follow pursuit which would render
them useful TO themselves and mankind generally.
None can be happy without employment, mental
or physical. The idler becomes fit candidate
for the penitentiary or gallows.

UTILITY OF FLrrs.-But If you are too irreso-
lutte to battle all over frequently and too careless
in changing your soiled for clean clothes, and
thus become covered with the excrementitious
matters of dried perspiration then even the kind
brutes will take pity on you, and the flies, lice
and heas vii become useful to you by generously
roofing up and tearing off this unwholesome
coating that smothers the life Of your skin AL
though this coating OF condensed Precipitation
may be as transparent as yarlish, and may even
allow your skin to shine through it elegantly;
still it is dirt, and as such conducts away your
vital warmth, like the earth when one lies down

The Integencer states that an intelligent and we'll

which first appeared in the Pennsylvania" and which
has gone the rounds of the press. about the prices OF

subject which he treats by the following passage

Five pence each number is lad. per week, or 7s0l=

wings defence Of General Taylor's proscriptive
policy.


II taxes the full capacity OF all the talent OF the whis
press to defend Gen Taylors violation of the pledges he
made before the election of last year
The leading article of the North American OF June LIST
is curious specimen of the style in which of the
abest of the wing presses defends Gen Taylor, and its
shallow sophstry sufficiently indicates the rottenness Of
the cause the editor OF that establishment espouses
The fact is. there can be Defence indication,
justification for that statesman who wully and deliber
atey violates his solemn pledges The whole question
lies in the compass OF a nutshell.
Did not Gen. Taylor promise and induce the people to
believe that he would not remove men from office on &C
count of their political oopinioIns'
Has he not through his cabinet officers, within the last
ninety days. removed hundreds and thousands from office
for no other than that they were democrats
But affirmative answer can be given to these inter.
rogaones.
with ridcule the charge that Taylor has INDUCED in
prescription, yet does not hazard any explicit denial that
he has violated his pledges The whole tenor of the ar
Gle is calculated TO stimulate the administration to further
acts of prescription So, too, the whole wing press seem
in delighted ecsaces that, different from their expecta
tons, prescription is really e be the order OF the day
to elect Taylor that the old soldier ood keep his prom
