UEBEcoM1KG PR1DE.-Tell US, if you can,
what there is in the situation Of man that should
inspire him with "lofty looks" and induce him
10 look down ON his fellow men with supercil-
ous contempt! He derived his origin from
the dust, he is allied with the beasts that perish,
and he is fast fastening to the grave, where
his carcass will become the food Of noisome
iepti es. He is every moment dependent on
superior Being for every pulse that beals, and
every breath he draws, and for all that he pos
sesses; he is dependent even on the meanest of
his species for his accommodations and COM
forts. He holds every enjoyment on the most
precarous tenure. His friends may be snatch
ed in a moment from his embrace; his riches
may take 10 themselves wings and fly away;
and his health and beauty may be blasted in
an hour, by . breath of wind. Hunger and
thirst, cold and heat, poverty and disgrace, sor-
row, and disappointment, pain and disease,
mingle themselves with all his pursuits and en-
joyments. His knowledge is circumscribed
within the narrowest limits; his errors and fol-
lies ale glaring and innumerable; and he
stands as, nn almost undistingnished atom,
amidst the immensity Of Gods works. Still,

ELECTRIC TELEGKAPHs IN EURopE.-The
French Government has come to an agreement
to adopt Mr.. Bains system of telegraphing, az
used in this country, and he was to be in Paris
in October to superintend the fixing of the APP
paratus and the instruction of the operators.
The first line put into use will be that from
London to Calais. The Russian Government
has also determined to adopt the same system,
and extend ton the lines ftheir great railways.
The Spanish Government also proposes to es-
tablish one Of the same kind between Madrid
and Aranjuez, to be opened this month.
These are ut present, we believe, Government
enterprises; but it is understood that the Co
vernments of France, Belgium, Prussia, Hol-
land and Austria have decided upon throwing
open their telegraphs to public use, and several
have already established their tariff of rates.
The Prussian rates are about the same, for Que
hundred words for fifty miles, as the rates on
Morse's lines in the United States; the French
are about so per cent higher-we do not know
what the rates are on increased distances.
The establishment of all these lines was pre-
eeeded by Investigations nade by Government
agents into the workings of the American sys-
tems.--N o. Picayune. ,E.gse...7 -..l ..,.-..,

Elihu Burritt, "to see one OF these huge crea.
lures, with sinews Of brass, and muscles iron,
strut forth from his smoky stable and saluting
the long train Of ears with dozen sonorous
pufs from his iron nostrils, fall back gently in
to his harness. Therehe stands, champing and
foamins upon the iron track, his great heart a
furnace Of glowing Goals; his lymphatic blood
is boiling in his veins; the strength ofa thousand
horses is nerving his sinews; he pants to be
gone. He would drag St. Peters across the de-
sert Of Sahara, if he could be carefully hitched
to it: but there is a little sober-eyed, tobacco
chewing man in the saddle, who holds him in
with one finger, and can take away his breath

The MAN WHO HAD ENEMIEs-A man who
has no enemies, is seldom good for anything.
He is made of that kind of material which is
SO easily worked, that every one tries hand
in it, A sterling character--one who thinks
for himself, and speaks what he thinks-is al
ways sure to have enemies. They are as ne
cessary to him as fresh air. They keep him
alive and active. A celebrated person who was
surrounded by enemies, used to say: "They
are sparks, which, if you do not blow them,
will 90 out of themselves" Let this be your
feeling, while endeavoring to live down the
scandal Of those who are bitter against you. If
you stop to dispute, you do but as they desire;
and open the way for more abuse. Let the
poor fellows talk. There will be a reaction if
you do but perform your duty; and hundreds
who were once alienated from you will flock
to you and acknowledge their error"
