which pour water; place upon it vase
Of flowers, and over the vase bell glass,
with its rim in the water. The air that
surrounds the flowers being confined be-
meath the bell glass, is constantly moist
with water, that rises into it IN the form
of vapors. AS fast as the water becomes
condensed it runs down the side OF the
bell glass Into the dish; ana il means be
taken to enclose the water on the outside
of the bell glass, so as to prevent it evap-

ONLY ONE BRICK ON ANOTHER.


Edwin was looking at large building
which they were putting up, just opposite
his fathers house. He watched the work.
men from day to day, as they carried up
the bricks and mortar, and then placed
them in their proper order.
His father SAID TO him, "My son, you
seem to be very much taken up with the
brick-layers; pray what might you be
thinking about! Have you any notion Of
learning the trade -
"No SIR" said Edwin, smiling; "but ]
was just thinking what little thing a
brick is, and yet that great house is built
by only laying one brick on another"
every true, my son. Never forget it.
Just so it IS in all great works. All Your
learning is only one little lesson added to
another 1t a man could walk all around
the globe, i, would be by only putting one
foot before the other. Your whole lite
will be made up OF one little moment after
another. Drop added 20 drop makes the
ocean,"
Learn from this not TO despise little
things. Learn also not to BE- discouraged
by great labor. The greatest labor becomes
easy, If divided into parts. You could
not jump over mountain, but step after
step takes you over to the other side. Do
not fear, therefore, to attempt great things
Always remember, that the whole OF yon-
der lofty edifice is 'only one brick on
another. Youths Gazette.

WEALTH..

Now I wage no war against wealth. l
faint it with no viIiiylng breath. Wealth,
so far as it Consists in comfortable shelter
and food anc raiment for all mankind in
competence for every bodily want, and in
abundance for every mental aud spiritual
need, is SO valuable, SO precious, that il
any earthly object could be worthy Of
idolatry, this might best be the idol,
Wealth, as the means OF refinement and
establishment; OF education and culture,
is not only universal IN its comprehension,
but elevated in its character; wealth as
the means OF perftcting the arts and ad-
vancing the sciences, of discovering and
dlfIusing truth, is blessing we cannot
Adequately appreciate; and God seems to
have pronounced it so, when He made
the earth and all the iulnesS thereof the
elements, the land and sea, and all that in
them s-convertlble INTO it. But wealth
as the means OF an idle or voluptuous
life; wealth, as the fo>terer Of pride and
the petrifier of the human heart; wealth,
as the iron rod with which to beat the
poor into submission to its will, is all the
curses OF Pandora concentrated into one.
1t is not more true, that money represents
all values, than that it represents all vices
In this country most yonng men are
poor.-rime is the rock from which they
are to hew out their fortunes and health,
enterprise and integrity, the Instruments
with which to do it. TO the young man
without patrimony. there are few higher
earthly duties than to obtain competency
For this, diligence IN business, abstinence
IN pleasures, privation even, OF everything
that does not endanger health, are to be
joytully welcomed and borne. When We
look around us, and see how much Of the
wickedness OF the world springs from
poverty, it seems to sanctiiy all honest
efforts for the acquisition OF an indepen-
dcnce. But when an Independence is
acquired, then comes the moral crisis
then comes an Ithuriel test which shows
whether man is higher than Common
man, or lower than common reptile. In
the duty Of accumulation, land | call it
duty, in the most strict and literal signifi-
cation of that word,) all below compe-
teHCe Is Inost valuable, anu us dCIuisitlon
most laudable But all above a fortune is
a misfortune. 1t is misfortune TO him
who amasses it for it is a voluntary con.
tinuance in the harness of a beast of bur-
den, when the soul should enranchise and
lift itself up into higher region of pur-
suits and pleasures. 1t is a persistence in
the work Of providing goods for the body
after the body has been provided for; some
provision for the body is the duty first in
order; because the body is the only earth
ly residence of the mind, and therefore
must first be taken care of; but when this
first duty Is amply fulfilled, then the
other du,ies-those which belong TO the
head and the heart-become first, both in
order and in importance. Because the
lower service was once necessary, and
has, therefore, been performed, it is a
mighty wrong, when, withou, being longer
necessary, i, usurps the sacred rights OF
the higher. H. Mann.

Fredericksbqtro,

The people of Fredericksburg, on the 18th ult.,
voted in favour of corporation subscription Of
$40, 900 for the plank road to the valley of Virginia
authorized by an act of the late Legislature Pri-
vate individuals of the town subscribed $4,000,
and were expected to subscribe $4,000 more, eay-
ing only $4,000 to be procured from other
sources, to secure the whole capital of 100000,
of which the State will take three-ffths.
The Fredericksburg News is informed that the
sum of $l25OO has been subscribed for the i'm
provement of Hazel river, and this with the FIRE.
dericksburg subscription for the same object, will
enable the company to commence the work. The
News also has received assurances that the pro-
posed turnpike from Speryyille to the head of
navigation will be made.
The Rappahannock seems to be working greatly
to the satisfaction Of our friends in Fredericks-
burg.

formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But itthere be any part OF the body any affection such

through that part takes up impure matters from the local
