Pretty Thoughts.

What is Joy! The honey of existence;
really beneficial and agreeable when par
taken of in moderation, but highly injuri-
Gus when used to excess.
What is contentment! The philosophy
Of life, and the principal ingredient in the
cup of happiness commodity that is
undervalued in consequence of the very
low price it can be obtained for.
What is happiness! A butterfly, that
roves from flower to flower, in the vast gar
den of existence, and which is eagerly
pursued by the multitude, in the vain hope
of obtaining the prize; yet it continually
eludes their grasp.
What is ambition? A fierce and un-
conquerable steed that bears the rider on
ward in the high road to perferment; but
it oftimes throws him such fall that he
rarely ever RECEIVERS.
What is CRIME? A wretched vagabond,
travelling from place to place in fruitless
endeavor to escape from justice, who is
constantly in hot pursuit. A foe to virtue
and happiness though at times in commu-
Mon with poor innocence, which is too Of
ten made to suffer for the guilty.
What is justice? A pair Of scales, in
which the action ofmankind is often weigh
ed, the true weights brought up by power
and wealth, whilst others that are incorrect
are substituted.
What is idleness? Apublic mint, where
various kinds of mischief is coined and eX.
tensively circulated amongst the most de-
spicable of the human race.
What is fear? A frightful dangerous
substance to the really guilty, but vain
and harmless shadow to the Conscientious
Iy honest and upright.
What is fortune! A capricious dame
who often rejects those who are most anx'
ious to solicit favors; while others mos1
unworthy, are the recipients of her boun-
ties without their solicitation.
What is fashion? A beautiful envelope
for mortality, presenting a glittering and
polished exterior, the appearance which
gives no certain indication Of the real val.
ue of what is contained therein.
WHAT'S wit! A sparkling beverage thai
is highly exhilarating and agreeable when
taken at the expense of others; but when
used at our own cost, it becomes bitter ant
unpleasant.
What is thought! Afountain from whicl
flows all good and evil intentions; men
tai fluid electric in the force and rapidity
of its movement, silently flowing unseen
within its own secret avenues; yet is the
controlling power of all animated matter
and the chief handspring Of all our ac
tions.
I What is knowledge! Akey that unrav'
els mysteries, and which unlocks the en-.
trance, and discovers new and unseen and
untrodden paths in the hitherto unexplor'
ed fields of science and literature.

General CaSS,

Gen. Cass, in letter dated the 26th
ult., declining the compliment of a public
dinner rendered to him, by his friends in
New York, speaking of the Union, he says:
When dissolution shall find advocates,
and the hand of violence shall attempt to
sever the bond that holds US together, the
West will rise up as to one man, to stay a
deed so fatal to the cause of liberty here
and throughout the world-aye, and it
will be staid. Success can never hallow
the effort
If we are not struck by judicial blind
ness we shall hold on to the constitution
with a tenacity defying time and accident,
thanking the God of our fathers, and our
God, for political institutions which have
secured to us a greater measure ofnational
prosperity than it has ever been the lot of
any people before . us to enjoy.
If one half of great country abandon
ing all other differences of opinion, is
unanimous in its sentiments upon any
measure of internal policy, locally affect
ing itself, the citizens should meet from
their countrymen of the other section,
kindness, and not denunciations; argument
not recrimination; desire to reconcile
conflicting opinions, as harmoniously as is
compatible with the nature of the contro-
versy.
No such views respecting their rights or
their position can be so held by an extern
sive community without the existence Of
forcible considerations, which call for care
full enquiry, and for wise, as well as a
kind decision.
In this spirit should sectional questions
be discussed, and if they are so, they will
bring with them no danger; but will furnish
additional motives for Union, and will con-
tribute powerfully to our strength and pros
perity.
| am, gentlemen, with great regard,
Your ob't. serv't

The Cur OF LIFE.-Life is truly min.
gled cup, consisting of sweet and bitter.
1t is changeable day, consisting of lights
and shades. Every day brings some cup
of pleasure to slake the thirsty soul; BUTT

sorrows. Every day brings some good,
and every day extorts some sigh. There
is no day so dark as not to be cheered by
the light of hope, and yet its light perpetu.

ness and sorrow. as the sun often looks
through the overhanging cloud, and min.
giles its beams with drops of the falling
shower. Such is life, and we must make
the best oft, as it is. To be elated with
pleasures and prospects, so as nol to think
of its sorrows. will lead to disappointment

enjoy, is unwise, -sL st. Ia nta

A GREAT MAN.-The highest, noblest

A GREAT MAN.-The highest, noblest
conception we have of great man, is one
who understands the power ofhs own soul,
and is continually exerting that power for
the promotion of good; is one who cher
ishes deep and solemn sense Of the sa-
credness of duty, be the consequences nev-
er so injurious to his interests; is one who
in matters ofreligion lends nought but a
deaf ear to the loud voice of sects, nought
but blind eye to all party creeds, but
scans the work Of nature, the revelations
in scriptures, the yearnings Of the soul.

BE FIRM.-The wind and the waves
may beat against rock planted in a
troubled sea, but it remains unmoved.-
Be you like that rock, young man. Vice
may entice, and the song and the cup
may invite. Beware-stand firmly at your
post. There is glory in the thought that
you have resisted temptation and conquer
ed. Your bright example will be to the
world what the lighthouse upon the sea
shore is to the mariner.

The Departed,

The departed the departed!
They visit us in dreams,
And they glide above our memories,
, Like shadows over streams;
But where the cheerful lights of home
In constant lustre burn,
The departed, the departed
Can never more return!
The good, the brave, the beautiful,
How dreamless is their sleep,
Where rolls the dirge.like music
Ofthe ever-tossing deep!
Or where the hurrying night-winds
8 Pale winters robes have spread
4 Above their narrow palaces,
In the cities of the dead!
] look around and feel the awe @
h Of one who walks alone a4n
Among the wrecks of former days,
In mournful ruin strown;
/ start to hear the stirring sounds
Among the cypress trees,
For the voice OF the departed
Is borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice! it mingles with
Each free and careless strain;
/ scarce can think earth's minstrelsy
Will cheer my heart again.
The melody of summer waves,
The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be so dear to me
As their remembered words.
/ often dream their pleasant smiles
T. Still on me sweetly fall,
Their tones of love | family hear
My name in sadness call.
| know that they are happy,
F' With their angel-plumage on,
But my heart is very desolate -
To think that they are gone.
