THE MEN FOR THE TIMES.

We like an active man, one vino has the inn

A lazy, plodding, snail paced chap might have
got on in the world, fifty years ago but he won't
do these times We live in age of quick IDEAS

OF the times; "be up and dressed" always-not
gaping and rubbing your eyes, as if you were
half arleep, but wide awake for whatever may
turn up and you may be somebody before you
die. Think, plan reflect, as much as you please,
before you act but think quickly and closely,
and when you haze fixed your eyes upon an OBJ
ject, spring to the mark at once:
Shun delays, they breed remorse;
Take thy time while time is lent thee;
Creeping snails have weakest force;
Fly thy fault, lest thou repent thee;
Good is best when soonest wrought;
Lingering labors come to nought
Hoist up sail while gale doth last;
Tide and wind wait no mans pleasure
Seek not time when time is past;
Sober speed is wisdom's leisure;
After-wits are dearly bought,
Let tiny fore-wit guide thy thought

LrFE.-In any adversely that happens to us in
the world, we ought to consider that misery and
atliction are not less natural than snow or hail
storm and tempest and that it was as reasonable
to hope for a year without winter as for life
without trouble. Do well while thou livest, but
regard not what is said of it. Be content with
deserving praise, and your posterity shall rejoice
at hearing it, The humble current of little kind
ness which, though but creeping streamlet in
cessantly flows although it gliles in silent Sc
cressy within the domestic walls, and along the
walks of private life, and makes neither noise
nor appearances in the world, pours in the end a
more beautiful trieate into the store of human
comfort and felicity than any sudden & transient
flood OF detached bounty, however ample, that
may rush into it with mighty sound

WHAr THE Wtr1es THINK OF Ir.-'We learn
from personal friend OF MIR. Senator Mangum
that that distinguished gentlenanh has addressed
letter to Mr.. Ewing, deprecating the extent to
which removals from office is carried, and adj
monishing the Secretary Of the Interior that this
is not the entertainment to which we were III
vited' We are disposed to credit he statement
from our personal knowledge Of the magnanimi-
ty OF Mr.. Mangum, and his aversion Of the party
doctrine of rewards and punishments, on the ma
ked ground of difference of political opinions.
But Mr.. Maugum is more of statesman than a
politician, and does not feel the hungry pressure
upon the departments. "-Washington Cores

On an entirely new plan.


TTNHIS Hive is decided to be the best Hive in USE
i by those who have used it, and by the most
exreriencedbee keepers.

bee moth -: lst the bottom is iron so that the egg
will not hatch under it. 3D. il is so constructed that
the worm cannot crawl above the bottom box, if
the egg should hatch. Sd, the room can be in.
creased or diminished, by removing the drawers ar
ranged upon the Sides and turning the bees in upon
the centre, sufficient TO keep the comb covered
with the bees, all through the season, and the bees
will protect the comb from the miller.
3D. This Hive Can be used for sHarming or
non swarmng Hive.
3D. The bees can be made to swarm any day you
please, in the swarming part OF the season.
4th. Iii perfectly simple in its construction,
and gives the bees ample room for all to work at
the sametime, sosthat they will never lay on the
outside of the hive.
9Th. The bees will increase one third more in this
Hive than in the other kinds, and make twice the
amount Of honey.

with safety.
Having purchased the above patent am now
prepared to fill all orders for Hives, and will ex-

may give me a call. will also furnish Hives with
bees to persons wishing to raise bees.

the New York Courier states that the water OF
the San Antonio river which is celebrated 70,
its purity, and could at any other time be used
after standing for several days, was unfit for use
during the prevalence Of the cholera, when kept
a few hours. In less than half a day vesstl

tensive smell, similar to bilee water. The rain
water, too, that collected in pools in the street
would be covered with green scum the day after it
fell. In addition to this singular phenomenon,
the sarie gentleman states that the air was filed
with light substances similar to the down of
thistle, which could easily be discerned with tho
naked eye by looking towards the subtle par.
ticles when examined, disclosed minute green
specs covered like the seeds of some plants, with
a substance that gave them buoyancy. Those
facts however strange they may appear, are
from reliable authority and however etiectually

there is, in this instance, a seeming connection be.
tween the cholera and the phenomenon alluded

The eagle hasstooped from his eyrie on high,
A star has gone out from its path in the sky,
Statesman has fallen TN his blaze Of .fenown,
His brow all encrced with Fano's laurel crown
Then hallow his grave--lay him down in his rest,
Where Memory shall water the turf on his breast
And the soft winds of summer sigh Ger his repose
In his own Tennessee, where the Cumberland
flows.
His name is enrolled with each mighty name
That Glory or Country shall hand down TO fame,
Intervene in the annals of the brave and the free,
To echo forever from sea unto sea.
His career was all finished his laurels were won
When the race of the foremost is scarcely begun;
And The finger Of Glory shall point to his name
As the greenest in years, but the equal In fame
While red Buena Vista looms up in the fight,
Like meteor's blaze in the darkness of night;
WEie the gates of the mountains their secrets un-
fold,
While California overflows with rivers of gold;
While the name of sweet Freedom is our glory
and pride,
While the broad wave Of Empire rolls up like the
tide;
While new States, like new stars, on the horizon
shall shine,
What name shall be brighter emblazoned than
thine?
Then hallow his grave-lay him down in his resi-
Where Memory shall water the turf on his breast
And the soft winds Of summer sigh ger hisrepose,
In his own Tennessee, where the Cumberland
flows.
