LovELINEss.-W What constitutes true
loveIiness?-Not the polished brow, the
gaudy dress, nor the show and parade OF
fashionable lie. A woman may have nll
the outward marks of beauty, and yet not
possess lovely character. II is the be-
nevoient disposition-,he kind acts-and
the christian department. 1t is in the
heart where meekness, truth, affection,
humility are found-where we look Tor
loveliness, nor DO we look in vain. The
woman who can soo'he the aching heart,
smooth the wrnkled brow. alleviate the
anguish of The mind, and pour the balm Of
consolation in the wounded breast, posses
ses, in an eminent, degree, true loveliness
Of character. She is the real companion
o! man, and does the work Of an angel. II
is such a character that besses with
warmth and sunshine, and make,h earth 10
resemble the paradise Of God.

INDIAN LUXURY.

Francis Parkmsn, in his new work on
California and Oregon, gives the following
a:coun, Of a luxury served up for him by
a Dacoh,a Indian woman. John China
man would have relished il much better
than our author. He says:
~ had observed some time before lit
ter of well.grown puppies comfortably
nestled on some buffalo robes on one side;
bu, this ne " conner speedily disturbed their
enjoyment, for seizing one Of them by the
hind paw, she dragged him out, and car
ryrnc HIM to the entrance Of the lodge,
hammered him on the head till she killed
him. Being quite conscious 10 what this
PREPARATION tended, | looked through a
hole in the back of the lodge 10 see the
next process. The squaw holding the pup
py BY the legs, was swinging him TO and
fro ,hrc. sh blaze Of fire. until the hair
was s,neei OF. This done. she unsheatheG
her knife and cut him into small pieces,
which she dropped In'o a kettle 10 bol.-

Good sense and good nature arc
never separated, though the ignorant
world has thought otherwise. Good
nature, by which mean benefcencs
and candor, is tho product Of right
reason, which of necessity will give
allowance to the failings Of others. by
considering that there is nothing per.
feet in mankind; and by Distinguishing
that which comes nearest to excel.

faults. will certainly produce candour

MAKE YouRsELvEs.-lf there 10 a man
who has any right 10 be proud, is &c
who can stand up before the world and
say: IL have made myself" Relying on
no influential friends, on no inherited
wealth, on nothing hut indomitable zeal
and spotless virtue, he has worked his way
from poverty 10 weal,h-fronn ignorance 10

The N. Y. Courier & Enquirer thus
comments upon the Washington Unions
articles ia relation TO the recent change in
the Republic:
The Union Is in terrible passion on
account of the change of Editors IN the
Rppub ic. II denounces General Taylor as
having been guilty of the most horrible
ingraIilnde, in excluding Bullnt, who "did
more to elect him than all his Cabinet put
together" Ifpromolion is to be based
upon this ground, the Union should prefer
claim: No paper IN the country did more
to elec, Gen. Taylor than that one. Its
lncessant, v,rulent abuse, did him more
good Than the praise of his best friends
But the Unions position must not be
changed. Its abuse is as necessary 10 sus-
tain General TAYLOR as it was to elect him.
The Union is in an agony of'eriet lest this
change in the Republic, and the retention
OF the Cabinet. should injure the Wing
party. 1t ut,ers solemn warnings upon the
subject. 1t calls upon the country not TO
be deceived upon this point-not to believe
the Presidents assurance. given through
the Tn,pll,gencer, that the Cabine, is united.
The Union knows better, and Tor the good
of the Wing party, it is willing to give the
world the benefit Of lis knowledge. Self.
sacrificing, high-minded Father Richie !!
Wha, can the Wing party do in return for
such gralullous and superservlceable kinds

SHoRT.-We do wish our ministers
would learn TO be short. Short hymns.
short prayers, shctt sermons for us. Why
give out dozen stanzas 10 slng--oller a
prayer twenty or thirty minutes long, 10 be
followed BY sermon that extends beyond
sixty minntes2 We have yet to hear o!
a conversion from long singing. long
playing, Of long preaching. "Thou ar,
the man." w i'll oflen'imes accomplish more
than volume. "Lord. have mercy upon
me-" is a prayer sufficiently long. when
the heart feels The need OF divine assistance.
How long did it take to deliver the sermon
on the mount? Let some of our modern
sernonizers answer. How long wa, Christ
offering his inimitable prayer? Let those
who love to offer prayers TO be heard Of
men answer. Short is the word-let every
thing be short, short, short.

ENCOURAGE YOUR OWN ME-.
CHANICS.

DO not send abroad for help, you have
work TO do-when it can be done in your
own neighborhood-perhaps at your next
door. Encourage your own honest, in
dustrious, faithful mechanics. They need
all the work they can get. by such .
course, you keep money at home-assist
the worthy, and have just as good work
performed. II is the only way 10 make a
town prosper-to support your schoo|s and
churches. Where there ls disposition 10
send hundred miles for articles that, 10
say the least, could be manufactured as
well at your own door. there will always
be little or no business done in the place
the churches will be ,hlnly attended and
all kinds of labor extremely dull. Wher-
ever mechanics are the best employed
prosperity is seen-the social virtues pre-
ominate-traveIling mountebanks and
pedlars retire in disgust, and kindly,
brotherly feeling is experienced. which is
the source Of unspeakable happiness.
Whatever you have 10 be done, look
around and see If yo1r neiehbors cannot
do it. fyou have house TO build or
shoe TO tap. a harness TO be made or
pump 10 be bored, a pack Of cards 10 be
printed or we'll to be dug, just look among
your neighbo,s, before you undertake 10
send abroad. and if you have none around
you capable of the task, it will be time
enough 10 look else where. 1t is a wrong
idea. 10 suppose no'hng is serviceabe tha,
is made at home. We know of many an
instance where men have refused 10 pur-
chase work made by their ne ghbors, and
sent to a distant city for the articles they
needed. and paid third more for Them,
when behold, they had been manufactured
and sen, way to sci! by the very neighbors
Of whom they refused TO purchase.
Let II be the motto Of ALL will encour>
age my own ne;shbors. In turn you will
be encouraged also. A mutual feeling of
good will and kindness will spring up in
your midst. and prosperity will be observa-
