SOR THE LEwIsRUAe CHRONICLE.
Thoughts and Things.

Thoughts are imperishable. and make
part Of our intellectual nature. They are
the measure Of the man. Although char.
acterized by an endless diversity, from the
solid and MASSIVE proportions Of deep,
cons secutive reasoning, down to the spark.
ling riPples Of wit and spicy rePartee,
yet they still bear the common impress Of
immortality. And according as they are
good or bad. are they suited 10 render US
better and happier, or worse and more mis-
cradle, for ever.
Things are transi.ory and perishing.
Some soon decay. and The mos. enduring
must ultimately crumbIo to duet Men
erect their temples, their columns, and
their arches, and vainIy imagine that these
shall never be moved but " the finger Of
Time touches them. and they turn TO ashes. !"
Our bodies, also, the abodes Of the spirit,
these most curious and wonderful of mech
anisms are ia,ed, in very short time, to
m,ngle with their kindred earth. lmpres
sions made upon the decaying objects
around US, unlike those written in living
lines within the soul, will soon be effaced,
or perish with them; while those who have
entrusted to such keeping only, their i'm
mortality, will be lost in meriied oblivion.
That man tolls not in vain for ga re-
membrance and name," who labors sue
cessfully to impart thoughts 10 the minds
OF men. In these thoughts he will live
again, and exert an influence, for veal or
woe, when ages upon ages may have passed
away.
He who Iabors simply 10 produce things,
without any higher aim, labors for the per.
ishable. The productions Of his arduous
and unceasins tolls, be they successful even
to the utmost Of his hearts desire. yet will
all, with himself, ere long be no more. He
sows to the corruptibIe, and T." shall reap
corruption" He who produces things,
therefore, should do it mainly for the ser.
vice Of thought. 10 this sense alone are
our earthly exerticns truly vaIuable-as
they assist Us TO take hold on eternity.
Man Of thought honor men Of toll
You could not live TO think, did they moi
live 10 toll. Despise not him who. while
he labors for things, seeks them only as
means to thought; who feels himself to b'
a thinking being, and would labor to cu'ti
vote his powers. IL he thinks up TO th'
full extent Of his information and ability
he is assuredly not to Be the less esieeme'
for his toll.
i Men Of toll! honor the man OF thought
who thinks for his and your good. Be rs

The Sabbath Bells.
Hear the holy Sabbath bells
Sacred bells
Oh, what . world Of peaceful rest
Their melody foretells
How sweety at the dawning
Of q summer Sabbath morning
Sounds the rhyming
And the Ginning of the bells!
How they peal out their deligh.
Al the happy, happy sight
OF the villagers in motion
To the place of their devotion.
What emotions fill the breast
At the ringing!
Aud the singing.
And the solemn organ, blending
With the fervent prayer ascending
To the God Who made the Sabbath for the weary
pilgrims rest
What joy. what pain the bosom swclls,
AS fondly reminiscence d"ells
Der the happy hours of childhood, when we heard
those village bells!
Ger the rhyming
And the Ginning
Of the bells!
or the bells, bells. bells,
Bells, bells, bells,
Sabbath bells! II. S. n oLES.

II is clear that when the twelfth last bite has been

Castom-house DIs,nissaIs.

The New York, Philadelphia, and Boston papers
have accounts of numerous dsmissals, either made
or about to be made, from the custom houses of
those cities. Those already made from the New York
custom house said to be follows: five weighers,
four measurers, one gauger, twenty inspectors,
twenty night inspectors, three invoice examiners,
twonvoice eight statistical clerks nineclers
warehouse returns, clerks warehouses sixteen
watchmen public stores, besides twenty -four tenn
porary clerks, and six boatmen and forty laborers
not given above. Three markers who have been
paid 81 400 per annum have been put down to in
spectors at 8 ,o95, and four assistants have been
discharged. One deputy collector resigned, and
his place is not TO be filed. The entire saving eff
fected by this reduction is nearly $4,000 per an
mum, or about one-ffth Of the entire cost of the
revenue service at that port. The persons who
have thus been discharged, it is said, of both
political parties.
