Every young man should remember that
the world always has and always will honor
industry. The vulgar and useless idler
whose energies Of mind and body are rus
ting for the want Of exercise, the mistaken
being Who pursues amusement a. relief to
his epsryatsd muscles, or engages in exer-
cises that produce no useful end, may look
with scorn on the laborer engaged in bis
toll; but his scorn is praise, his contempt
iS an honor. Honest industry will secure
the respect Of the wise and the good among
men, and yield the rich fruit Of an easy
conscience, and give that hearty self res
pect which is above all price. Toll on, then,
young men and young women. Be diligent
in business. Improve the heart and the
mind, and you will find "ths well spring Of
enjoyment in your own SOULS" and secure
the confidence and respect of oil those
whose respect is worth an effort to obtain.

LADY BULWER.

The Washington gossip of the Charleston
News gives some interesting particulars
regarding the wife of Bulwer, the novelist
who is well known, lampooned her hus-
band in a novel. it seems that before
marriage, she was "a pale handsome sleder
girl--Miss Wheeler by name-and attract
ed his attention while fresh from college.
The attachment was romantic one, and
was strenuously opposed by Bulwer's moth
er.
'But the lovers found a sympathizing
friend, who occupied room up three pair
of stairs where they frequently drank tea.
The female friend ultimately succeeded in
marrying the young couple, neither of whom
she then thought were 'loDg for this world.
But, to her surprise Miss Wheeler after
wards turned out to be one Of the fattest of
woman, and Mr.. Bulwer the most immor-
tai Of men. The aristocratic mother was
soon rsconciled to the match, but the
daughter was soon at swords points with
every member Of the family, her husband
included. Bulwer Bore her 'incompatabili-
ty' as long as he could; 10 form, and final
~ bought beautiful house, in the country
not far from London, furnished It exquisi-
lively, and, supplying her every earthly
want, except his own society, left her to ex-
pend her eccentricities on her dogs, which
to the number Of upwards of dozen were
her companions. In point of physical
strength, Mr.. Bulwer was much the weak.

THE BEAUTIFUL.

Ideality is strong guardian of virtue
for they who have tasted its genuine pleas
ures, can never rest satisfied with those o
mere sense. But it is possible, no wever
to calculate the taste to such degree al
to induce fastidious refinement, when il
becomes the inlet of more pain than pless-
ure. Nor isthe worst ofover refinement the
loss of selfish qualification; it is apt to in
terfere with benevolence, to avoid the sight
of finelegant distress, to shrink from the con-
tact Of vulgar worth, and lead US to despise
those whose feeling of taste is less delicate
and correct than our own. If the beauti-
full and useful be compatible, the beautiful
must give way.-as the means Of the exis.
tence and comfort of the masses must be
provided before elegancies which can only
conduce to the pleasures of the few. Sell
I shness. though, refined, is still but selfish.
ness, and refinement ought never to inter-
fere with the means ofdoing good in the
world as it at present exists. 1t is not des-
irable to appeal early to this feeling, or
perhaps even directly to cultivate il. If
the other faculties are well developed and
properly cultivated, this will attain sufi-
Ctcnt StEeHHtu IOT N3cSs 4uS OGouthu1 70
the clothing for the infinite; and in the con-
temptation of the beautiful, and the love
Of perfection, not in churches, We geek our
highest and most intimate communion with
God, and draw nearer and nearer to Him.
The fine arts-painting, sculpture, music
as well as poetry-ought all to administer
to ideality. The proper use of painting,
for instance, ought to represent everything
that is beautiful in the present, and to re.
call all that is worthy Of remembrance in
the past. To give body to those spiritual
pictures Of ideal beauty and perfection
which ideality forms-to give q faithful
representation of the great and good that
have departed, and to put vividly before US
those actions and scenes, those pages from
universal history which have a tendency
to refine, to exult, to enlarge the soul
that is what painting ought to aim at. To
paint, however perfectly, horses being shod
deer being hunted the agony of animals in
traps. bread and cheese, and Holsters, and
foaming ale, is but an abuse and perver-
sion of one of the highest gifts and attain
Inents, which more civilized age will re-
pudiate. A pig-stye however perfectly
painted, still but recalls the idea Of pig
stye; and ifit excites any feeling, it is one
of regret that such wonderful art should be
SO misapplied.- Education Of the Feelings

GEN. CASS.

The Penn Yam, IN. Y.,) Democrat il
speaking Of the late speech Of Gen. Levi.
Cass, says:
Gen. Cass possesses in combination ell the
Qualities which constitute q statesman--
integrity of heart, frmness, quick percep-
|tion, ready judgement, goodness of heart,
and dignity ofperson. Few, Of any party
deny to him ability of commanding ma
ture, and well they may. He is in the
best and fullest sense of the term, q great
man-great in native intellect--grfat in
knowledge and experience--great in de-
cision of character and in that benevoIence
and justice which knows the right, dares to
do it under all circumstances.
No public man now living, better illus
trates the character and influence ofrepub.
lication institutions, than Gen. Cass. A
poor boy, frieDdless, fortuneless and slone
in the world, he has grown up to the high
places of the nation and to the respect of
bis fellow men, by his own exertions; under
the fostering genius of our liberal system
of government. His life has been event.
full but successful. In the beginning q
democrat, he has neve: changed, or sweTv-
ed from his allegiance to that great party.
An humble private in the ranEs-obscure
and unknown--toiling to advance her in.
terists, be has grown to be the leader, and
now look up to him for counsel
and advice.
The opinion Of such man at this time
and when the public mind is distracted and
agitated, is something worth, his admOni.
ton entitled to serious consideration. He
is not man Of passion, not hssty in CO n
ing to conclusions. nor easily misled, is in
a position the best of all others for obser.
walton, can and has looked the whole field
over.

Small Ssceef Couriesies If fLle-Extract
from letter Of tile late William Wirth to
his daughter:
q want to tell you secret. The way to
make yourself pleasing Is to show that you
care for them. The whole world is like
the Miller at Mansfield, swho cared for no.
body-no not he,-because nobody cared
for him. And the whole world will serve
yon so, if you give them the same cause;-
Let every one therefore, see that you do
care for them, by showing them, what
Stern SO happily calls 'tbe small sweet
courtesies in which there is no perade;
whose voice is stillto please, and which
manifest themselves by tender and sffec.
tionate looks, and the little kind acts OF
attention-giving others preference in sv.
cry little enjoyment at the table, in the
fields walking sitting or standing This 10
the spirit that gives 10 your time Of life and
to your sex, its sweatest charms. II con-
stitutes the sum total Uf the witchcraft Of
woman. Let the world see that your first
care is for yourself, and you will spread
tho solitude of the Upas tree around you,
iu the same way, by the emsnuation Of a
poison which kills all the juice of affection
in its neighborhoOd. Such girl may be
admired but for her understanding and &C.
conplishments, but she will never be be-
loved.
The seeds Of love can never grow but
under the warm and genial influence ofkind
feelings and affectionate manners-Vivaci-
ty goes great way in young persons. II
calls attention to her who displays it; and
if It then be fonnd associated with gencr.
Gus sensibility its execution is irresistible.
On the contrary, lift be found in alliance
with cold naughty. selfish heart, it pro-
duces no further effect, and an adverse one.
Attend to this, my daughter. Itaows from
the heart that feels for you ali the anxiety
that parent can feel, and not without the
hope which constitutes the highest happi-
ness, God protect and bless you.'
