MORAL CHARAcTER.-There is moth
ing which adds so much to the beauty
and power of man as good moral char
acter. 1t is his wealth-his life. II
dignifes him i'll every period Of llfe.-
Such character is more to be desired
than any thing else on earth. II makes
man free and independent. No SER
vile tooe, no crouching sycophant, no
treacherous honor seeker ever bore such
a character. The pure joys of truth and
righteousness never spring in such per-
son. II young men but knew how
much good character would dignity
and exalt them-how glorious il would
make their prospects, even in this life;
never should we find them yielding to
the groveling and base born purposes OF
human nature.

FANNY ELsLER.- An anecdote is rela-
ted of the divine bdlierina, in the Span
ish papers which runs somewhat after
the following fashion:
On the passage from England to Ger
mary, she discovered among the crew,
and in the dress of common sailor, a
gentleman who had rendered himself
quite conspicuous by his rapturous ap-
plause during the season. Finding that
he was detected, the unfortunate gallan,
implored her, in the name of Cupid, 10
forgive the extremity to which passion
had driven him. He was successful in
procuring her forgiveness, and Fanny,
taking leave Of him, retired to rest in
her cabin. Not long after she had turn
ed in, she felt the warm breath Of some
person upon her forehead, and hand
stealing gradually in the direction of a
small bronze box, in which she kept her
diamonds, gold, and bank notes. She
Immediately applied such a vigorous kick
to the pit Of the intruder's stomach, that
il threw him flat on the floor, and caused
torren, of blood to spout from his
mouth. Lights were brought in-the
gentleman sailor was arrested by the
crew-and was recognised as one OF
the most accomplished pickpockets in
the island of Great Britain.

The INFLUNcE OF AN ENERGETIC
Mans NAmE.-At recent Railroad
supper here, gentleman who has been
active in settling right of way claims a.
gainst the G.. G. & G. Railroad company
on being toasted, gave the following Dor.
tion of his experience. He was settling
claims in Richland county; among them
was one stubborn old man, who would
not be satisfied, and declared he'd De
hanged if he'd settle, for he knew the
road wouldn't go through. Said the old
man, 81 lived in Newburgh once, when
the Ohio Canal was laid out, and | Fl,
agin it tooth and toe nail, but it warn't
no use, that Alfred Kelly was pushing i,
along and | give in; bu, moved ou, here
where the pesky bitches can't come, and
you needn't talk to me about splitting me
up with railroad; who is going to do il!
"Kelly is President of the company, /"
was the quiet reply. The old man seem
ed dumbfoundered for a moment and
then fairly yelled out, 'if tha. is true my
eyes is sot-stranger, make out the pa
pers, it amt no use my trying to stop
Alfred Kelly's railroad than it would be
to try TO run down a steamboat with a
canoe--I ve."-Cieueland Herald.

The American Quarterly Review con-
tains letter from G.. w. Ewing, ESQ.
giving sketch of his visit TO San Mari

The territory of this State is only forty
miles in circumference. and its popula-
ton about 1000. The Republic was
founded more than 1,4OO years ago, ou
moral principles, industry, and equality,
and has preserved its liberty and indie

cords which have ragged around it. Bo.

six in number,) who are chosen every

seen comfort and peace, the happy effect
OF morality. simplicity, liberty and JUS

No one can be truly said to live, who
has not garden. None but those who
have enjoyed il can appreciate the salts
faction--the luxury-of sitting down to
table spread with the fruits of ones
own planting and culture. A bunch Of
radishes--a few heads of lettuce--taken
from the garden on summers morning
for breakfast; or a mess of green peas or
sweet corn, is quite different affair
from marketin dying condition to be
put away in the cellar for use. And
plate of strawberries or raspberiies lose
none of their peculiar flavor by passing
directly from the border to the cream,
without being jolted about in basket un-
til they have lost all form and comeli-
ness. And yet, how many in the small
er cities and villages Of our country.
possessing every facility for good gar
den, either through Incidence or igno-
rance, are deprived Of this sources Of
comfort! And how many farmers, with
enough land lying waste to furnish them
with most of the luxuries Of life, are
content to plod on in the even tenor Of
their way, never raising their tastes a.
bove the 'tpork and beans of their faith
ers.

A GRAcELEss ScAMP.-A scamp who
used to raise particular purgatory about
Middlebury College, had 'taken shine
to the daughter of staid old deacon,
who used TO frequently invite him TO din
ner. The deacon called upon him one
day to ask the customary blessing, and
wishing TO have il understood that there
was any one thing that he could not co,
he made the offer. Hastily recollecting
all he could of the usual form, he began,
and made an excellent start of it, but for
his life could not tell how to close it off.
It was easier to 60 on than to stop. FL
nally, making desperate dash after a
period, he closed off thus: In couclu-
sion, my dear sir, / remain very respect
fully and truly your obedient servant!'-
He has not dined with that deacon since.

PETE AND HIS MAsrER.-A gentleman
from Kentucky, passing along Main
Street, on Saturday last, met to his great
surprise, negro man whom he at once
recognized as slave who ran away from
him about ten years since. The master
seized the 'ooy" by the collar and or
dered him 10 return with him to Ken
lucky forthwith. He assumed careless
air, told his old master that he was heart
lily sick of freedom and would gladly
return home, but he could not 90 with
out his clothes and if his master would
accompany him to his lodgings, he would
'.gather his ware" and be with him in
stantel. The Kentuckian readily con-
senled, and was conducted to an old
frame tenement in an alley. Pete en-
tered, leaving his master outside to await
his appearance. For hall an hour the
Kentuckian, patiently stood in the alley
looking for Pete. But Pete didn't come.
The master then entered the house but
no Pete was there. The bird had flown
and the disappointed Kentuckian return
ed grumbling. to his hotel, firmly con-
vinced that Pete was lying nigger any
how and not to be trusted.-Cin. Gaz.

A NICE DAY.-Mrs. Partington met
a young medical friend of hers to-day.
while the rain was coming down in tor
rents, and raising her mild face to his.
with smile remarked, "tha. il was q
nice day for young ducks" The
young gent blushed, stammered, and
with an indignant toss of the head passed
on. Mrs. P. sought an interview and
to her chagrin, learned that her Escula-
plan friend thought the remark an insul
ting insinuation that he was qalack.-
Mrs. p. had but time enough to grasp
her snuff-box before she tainted. Some
folks are SO opposed to quackery that
they never see ducks without shiver.-

VERY PooR.--A trifling sort Of fell
low in one Of our neighboring counties,
not long since, won the affections Of the
daughter of bluff, honest Dutchman of
some wealth. On asking the old man
for her. he opened with romantic
speech about his being s'poor young
man." &c. "Ya. va" said the old man,

too poor-you has neider money nor

THE Cry OF PANAMA.-We take the
following article on the old city OF Pan
anna, from late number of the Echo:
The site of the old city of Panama is
situated about miles distant from the
present city Of Panama, on the sea bank
going to the northeast. The way is
very easy to find, and the road is pleas
ant to travel. Since 1850 at which Pc
riod the old city was destroyed, 10 years
have elapsed, and the ruins of that ca oi-
tai have almost disappeared under the
growth of rank and luxuriant vegetation
of this climate. Trees and plants and
shrubbery of all sorts, have sprung up
and embedded their shoots in its cum
brous foundation, until now only some
few walls can be seen standing on the
spot where once magnificent wealth and
grandeur shone forth in resplendent col
ors and luxury, and beauty revelled in
the enjoyment Of social life. Still. there
is an immense tower which stands high
and powerful, and shows like so many
other huge piles, the might and energy OF
the Spaniards in years that have passed
away--when the influence and policy Of
Ferdinand and Isabella, exerted wide
influence, and left traces in the sands OF
time. But besides that tower, all else OF
this wonderful city presents to the eye a
mass of ruins and destruction. We
must except however, two splendid
bridges, one at the entrance and the 9TH
er at the extremity of the place where
once a city of powerful dimensions stood.
These bridges were so well constructed,
that they have not been destroyed by the
weight of trees that have reared their
majestic trunks on their top. In fac,
nothing more curious and interesting than
those ruins is to be seen on the isthmus,
and we would advise all travellers stay
ing here awhile, to go and see and mark
the spot of Morgan's rash act of Van
dalism.

To YouNo MEN.-Don't rely upon
friends. Don't rely upon the good name
of your ancestors. Thousands have
spent the prime of life in vain hopes of
aid from those whom they cali friends--
and thousands have starved because they

good name which is made by your own
exertions, and know that the best friend
you can have is an unconquerabla deter
minaiion, united with decision Of char

MISCELLANY.
From the Louisville Journal.
THE RETURN OF SPRING.

BY J. R. BARRIcK.
The winter winds and storms are past.
The surly blasts are blown,
The voice of spring is heard at last,
In blithe and joyous tone;
The little streams, from frost set free,
With gladdening music sing;
The south wind comes with songs of glee
To welcome in the Spring.
The heart of earth its foliage wide
Unfolds like summers rose;
Thro' wood and stream quickening tide
Of life and beauty flows;
The light of May is on the sky,
Its sunshine on the wing,
While winters shades and shadows fly
To welcome in the Spring.
The flowers are gently springing up
On hillside and on lawn,
The daisy and the buttercup
Breathe in the balm of morn;
The rills and brooks soft answers make
To birds on soaring wing,
The mingling strains of nature wake
To welcome in the Spring.
list me to the cheering song
Of robin and the wren,
The mocking- bird and jocund throng
Of warblers in the glen;
The winds and zephyrs too rejoice,
While every living thing
On earth outpours grateful voice
To welcome in the Spring.

Anything from the pen or tongue OF
Horace Mann, is sure 10 be read and
treasured. An exchange well says,
s.here is sentiment worthy TO be recor-
ded in characters Of gold" The ex-
tracts are from his lectures, "a few
thoughts for a young man."
Man is not savage or pauper by
the inexorable fatality of his nature
He is surrounded with every form of
the truest and noblest wealth;-wealth,
or well being, for the body. wealth for
the mind, wealth for the heart. He is
not of plebian origin, but his lineage is
from God; and when he asserts and ex-
emplifies the dignity Of his nature, royal
and patrician titles sink into nothingness,
and sink .toi oblivion. Men were
not created to perform twenty-four
months of bodily labor in twelve months
of time, while the intellectual and
moral improvement, which a single
year might master, is spread over life.
The laws of nature and Of God doom
no man to live on a potato q day; but the
productive powers of the earth are as
much beyond all the demands of health
full sustenance, as the volume of the at
mosphere which encircles the globe is
beyond the capacity of human lungs
Men were not created to live in wigwams
nor in sites; but to rise up and lie down
in dwellings Of comfort and elegance
Men were not created for mendacity So
cieties, and almshouses, and the galIows;
but for competence, and freedom, and
virtue; not for thoughtless puerilities and
vanities, but for dignity and honor, for
JOY nnspeakable and full Of glory.

Experience, says Coleridge, is like the
stern lights Of a ship, revealing dangers
only after we have passed through them,
and shining on bars and breakers after
we have become imperrilled among them.
