ANGER.-Anger is one of The sinews of the
soul; he that wants it hath a manned mind, and
with Jacob sinew-struck in the hollow of his
thigh, must needs halt. Be not angry without a
cause. If thou beest, thou must not only. as the
proverb saith, be appeased without amends, hav-
ing neither cost nor damage given thee, but as our
Saviour saith, be in danger of The Judgment"

But noughr shall from my soul remove
Thy memory, latest dream of love.

Behind me heaped as mountains high;
Fen as The oak in autumn time,
Sees fall the foliage of his prime.
The frost of age is on my brow,
My chilly blood will scarcely flow
Like this dark wave DER which has passed
The cold breath of the wintry blast.
But thy serene and youthful face,
Which sorrow only comes to grace,
Still lovely in my heart, hold,
For, like The soul, it ne'er grows old.
No thou hast never left mine eve,
My lionel y path, thou still art nigh
And when | ceased TO see thee here,
| saw thee in brighter sphere.
There behold thee such again,
AS on that last dread day Of pain
When to thy blest abode away
Thou feddest with the mornings ray.
Thy pure and touching loneliness,
In Heavens sweet air shines none the less ;
And eyes where life had ceased TO be,
Are bright with Immortality.
1t is thy hand which dries my tears,
And Gains my spirits anxious fears;
Thy voice doth whisper in mine ear,
" Pray thou in secret. God will hear

DAt no attention to new humbugs, as nep es-

and neD nigh cuts. Keep the old well established
and plain road to the VAN BUREN Ferry,
where you will find good new ferry boats-expe-
renced' careful and obliging ferry-men; and
charges as cheap as the cheapest. Drovers will
find this the best and safest point to cross stock at

at this ferry, can have the advantage of the Van

r Importance of Fresh Air.-Dr. Griscom, lec-
turing IN New York upon the importance of air,
fact OF which builders do not seem TO be suffici-
emily aware in the construction of houses. says
The lungs can contain about II pints of air, though
% plnts is as much as is inhaled at single inspi.
ration. In ordinary and placid breathing we in.
hale about pint at an inspiration public singers,
when they" take BREATH il is called, inhae
from D to pints. Eighteen respirations take place
in a minute; it takes, therefore, Is pints of air
every minute, and 81 hogsheads every "a hours,
10 supply the lungs. Sevepty-two pulsations oc-,
cur in one minute. and l03, 1850 in "a hours. Tho
dark veinous blood passed and repassed from the
veins through the heart, 10 be purified into verm-
lion colored arterial blood, by contact with fresh
air in the lungs, amounts TO "a hogsheads in "a
hours. 1t is then sent through the arteries to nou-
rsh the whole system, distributing its vitality. TO
be recovered gain from fresh air in the lungs
From the construction of some Of our public build
ings, it would seem that the builders thought that
Pints Of air were sufficient in place of hogheads.

The Balloon Project.-lt appears from New
York letters 10 the National lntelligencer, and
from various other sources, that the scheme Of
9rlaI navigation has been seriously emba rked in
by company in New York. An Italian three
years ago, succeeded in flying his model and steer
ing II at will, and the recent experiment is doubt
less IN furtherance of the original idea. The
model has been tried in the Tabernacle hall, and
with sone success apparently. We have the fol-
lowing description of il: .. .
:" The model balloon is ,wenty-four feet long
and two feet in diameter at the centre, running TO
a point at each end. 1t is 10 move horizontally,
point foremost ike a fish in the water. The mo-
tive power is a small steam engine, connecting
with sort of screw propeller at the stern. which
acts upon the air something like the wings of u
wind mill" -.
We have further particulars as follows:
"lf the, performance of the model prove salts
factory, the inventor will Immediately construct
his passenger balloon for California, which he
proposes shall be five hundred feet in length, and
forty in diameter at the centre. running to point
at each end, like parabolic spindle in geome,rv
long cabin or saloon is TO be suspended below
the balloon for passengers, machinery. &c. Tho
engine is to be about four.horse power There
are to be two screw propeers, the fans Of each
to be twenty feet in diameter. The rudder is so
arranged as 10 vary the direction of the balloon to
the right or left. or up or down. as circumstances
may require. BY calculation it is estimated that
the balloon Of the size mentioned, filled with hy-
drogen gas, will carry about five tons esides its
own weight and necessary machinery. This
would enable it to carry perhaps fifty passengers
with a reasonable amount of baggage.

LAMARTINE.-The mother of Lamartine was
educated at ST. Cloud, and was in the habit of re-
cording the domestic history Of each day. This
habit she taught her children, and Lamartine has
faithfully recorded in detail the events and i'm.
Presslons of his daily life. This record and diary
has been published, and will soon be republished
here, under the title of" Les Condolences" ;" of La
martne. r.
LamartIne has suffered pecuniary embarrass-
ments. His paternal estate at My. his mothers
residence until her death, associated with all the
most loved, about TO be sold and pass TO stran
gers.
There seemed to be no resources left to save il.
when the editor of the Presse offered him anv sum
he might name, for those pages of his Youthful
recolIectons. Lamartine hesiia,ed-he had 10
choose between exposing his heart to the public
gaze, or rendlng that heart with life-enduring ar
gush. He chose the former, and in giving up for
publication these secret memorials, he saws:

The sand falls through, the gold remains. Whv

mia for digging, why. good; the only question
would be. 10 dig not to dig. And so, out then.
do ye see. man must do something else besides
digging. He must eat. drink, sleep, and be clothed
wltha l-and if all the people turn god-diggers,
who shall perform all the other kind Of work p
Now, if so be, man should dig potatoes, and fill
Tin kettle. and put it over fire, in unison with
some wild kids and few yarbs, and :he man who
had been digging the gold should come and say,
give me some Of that ERE mess, why, So also-
Now, what would the po,ntoe-digger sayl How
much gold have you dug Oh. says The god-dig-
ger, have had great luck to-day. bat Pm very
hungry. Good, says the po,ato-digger give me
two-thirds of your gold, and you shall dine with
me- Why, you inhospitable fellow, do you want
to rob? No. says the polaio-dgger, but 90 and
eat your gold; III eat my dinner alone. and save
what is left until tomorrow, and then | can
90 and dig gold, and you can dig potatoes for
yourself. Now. SAYS Bunsby. the po:ato.digcer
would be tie best off. for the other could not wait
until the morrow for dinner, and it's therefore
my opinion that digging potatoes may be, under
some circumstances. more profitable than digging
