TIL SECRET OF SUccEss-what is it2 In
this country, among people who are equally pro-
tected and encouraged, it lies ia the steady pur-
suit Of intelligence, industry, temperance and
frugality. So far as outward comfort and COM
petence constitute wealth, there is but a fraction
Of society who may not possess it, ifeaeh viii
but turn his hand and brain to the vocation for
which his instinct and capacity mos; fit him. If
the great fortunes which so dazzle the mis-ludg.
ing poor, be analysed, they will be found, in near
ly Rineiy-nine Of the hundred cases, to have
sprung and matured from calm, patient and SIM
Pile toil--toil which had an endurance and faith
behind. and an object and hope before it. So too,
with success in whatever man seeks to accom-
Plish. A clown may stumble upon a splendid
discovery in art or science, bat a fixed general
law provides that high achievement shall re-
quire profound and eeaseless labor. The price
Of success, except in isolated cases, is the devo-
ton ofone's life. He isl fool who trusts to any
dream for possession or advancement, unless he
connects with il the prudent exercise Of his own
energy and Judgment. The little spring in the
mouniaan rock, becomes a bronx, a torrent, a
wide rolling river and a part of the fathomles.

HATDN.-the poet Corpani once asked
his friend Haydn, How it happened
that his church music was almost al
ways of an animating, cheerful and even
gay description :" To this, Haydn's
answer was: 81 cannot make it other
wise-I write according TO the thoughts
which | feel. When | think upon God,
my heart is so full of joy, that the notes
dance and leap, as it were, from my
pen; and since God has given me a
cheerful heart, it will be easily forgiv-

with the merits Of those who have had the
charge Of this excellent Institution for a number
Of years, and have always regarded it as partic-

A WORD no LITTLE GIRLS.

Who is lovely? It is the little girl who
drops sweet words, kind remarks. and
pleasant smiles, as she passes along
who has a kind word of sympathy for
every girl or boy she meets in trouble,
and a kind hand to help her companions
ont of difficulty who never scoIds, who
contends, never teazes her mates,
nor seeks in any other way to diminish
but increase their happiness. Would it
not please you to pick a string of pearls,
drops of gold. diamonds, precious stones,
as you pass along the street? But those
are the true pearls and precious stones,
which can never be lost. Take the hand
of the friendless. Smile on the sad and
detected. Sympathize with those in
trouble. Strive everywhere to diffuse
around you Sunshine and Joy. If you
do this you will be SUE to be loved.

A SLAVE STATE IN EMBRYO The Chero-

These Indian tribes, that were removed here a
few years ago, in consequence ofbeing surruund-
ed by States, will again, in a short time, TOO, be
surrounded with States, and be hedged in with
a dense white population What will be the
consequence? Why, it is plain enough to be
seen, that in a few years these Indian tribes viii
have to be organized into a territorial govern
ment, and then be admitted into the Unitet
States as 4 slave State. What will the friend

heard at night, upon the shores of certsin lakes,
loud musical sounds, like those of an accordeon

sounds, it is said by late traveller, are emitted
by a species of sheltish, which inhahIt these

Corfu, if irritated by touch with a piece OF
straw. will emit a distinctly audible sound in a
