How large a portion of our happiness in
this world arises from its vicissitudes? The
truth is come maxim continually proposed
and immediatIy assented to, but who considers
it? They are the changes of daily life which
stimulate hope regulate business, propose rest
and reward labor. Like our daily bread
they must be looked for and prepared for
June and beauty are of little value unless
marked. Our action must be numbered
like our milestones, and stand as they do at the
appropriate sites, if we could rejoice in our
progress.

rather than show, religiously avoiding tight
lacing She partakes freely of the plainest
food, using much fruit She attributes her
uniform good health to her temperate mode
of living, she seldom having occasion to con-
suit physician.

LEARN TRADE The following is the re-
quest of condemned criminal, standing at the
bar of jnstice, awaiting sentence. 1t adds but
one to the many admonitions to young men to
forsake their idleness, and gain some honest
and profitable employment. 1t is the request
of notorious burglar by the name of Lay,
who was sentenced last week at Toronto, CAN
ada, to twenty years hard labor in the Pen-
tentiary. He was asked by the Court, if he
had anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him. In his reply he said ::
When I am sent to the penetentiary, ask
the favor of the court that they will intercede,
and have me taught some trade Or professisn
in order that, should ever be released from
it, may be able to earn an honest livelihood.
l attribute my present course of life solely for
the circumstance, that was never brought
up to any trde. Should not be taught any
occupation while in the penitentiary, when l
come out, shall be friendless homeless, pen
nyless, and ragged; and must necessarily re-
sumo my old habits and become what was
before-a Robber.

Buff. Com. ADV.
The, above intelligence is received with great
satisfaction by our fellow citizens, and affords
an earnest of the supposition of Mr.. Butler,
that the railroad connection between Toledo
and Chicago would be compiled in 1851. We
nope that eastern capitalists may seek other
similar investments. The road between To-
ledo and Cleveland is equally valuable, and
but part of the same great system. We
hope soon to hear that this stock has been as
well disposed of. Toledo Blade.

Ohio state Journal.

Below we publish an extract from the pros
pectus of this excellent journal, together with
the terms of subscription. 1t has long been
the organ of the Ohio Wings, and reliable
'aetos paper; but we can freely say, that, for
cheapness, size, elegance of typographical ex-
ecution, and last, though by no means least
the ability and industry of its editorial mana
gers, it has never been equal to what it now is
and is not equalled by any other paper in the
State As a specimen ofletter-press printing,
it surpasses any newspaper we ever saw. This
is saying good deal, but we think it is not too
much. 1t is, in every way pattern paper,
and is deserving of hosts of patrons. The
terms are remarkably low, and offer no excuse
for mans being without paper from the
Capital In issuing their prospectus, the pub
fishers say
1t will be year, on the first of December
next since the present proprietors of the OHIO
State Journal concluded to change the system
and terms of publication. Long experience
had taught the senator of the firm the great
evils Of the old sytem Of always trust and never
pay. Ii was determined to require cash in
ddvaace, and at the same time to reduce the
price so much as to make the new system
much cheaper than the old to those who really
designed to pay for the paper. In accord
anee with this idea, the price of the Daily was
reduced from sir to five dollars; the Tri-Week-
ly from four to three dollars, and the Weekly
from tlDo dollars to one dollar aud fifty cents.
Il was confidently expected that this great
reduction in the price would induce our friends
to make exertions for largely increased cir
culation This has been done to certain ex-
tent, but not in proportion to the reduction we
have made in the terms,
To our friends through the State we appeal
We are aware that you have done much for
US. But how many of you have done one
half Of what you can easily do towards ex-
tending our circulation. The price is reduc-
ed to mere nominal sum, within the ability
of every person. As an inducement to Wings
and others to extert themselves in our behalf
We offer our paper at the following very low
TERMS.

SCOiding,

We will not say that any who have the
scolding propensity are absolutely incurable,
but we know some very obstanate cases. We
also know some persons who have such hap
py mental organization, that they never indul-
ged petulent spirit. An anecdote will H.
lustrate these cases.
Two thriving farmers, A. and B., lived near
neighbors. whose wives were patterns of ener-
gy, industry, frugality, neatness, &c. Each
had been married about fifteen years, and the
wife of A. proved to be termagant, while
that of B. had not spoken petulently since her
marriage. These men were one day in the
midst of an intersing conversation, when the
dinner-horn from the house of Mr.. a. was
sounded, and he said to B., 4 must 90 at once
or my wife will give me such lecture 4
really wish replied B., that could hear my
wife scold, as yours does, for five minutes, just
to see how it would sound, for she has never
uttered crooked word since our marriage
'O,' said A, get for your wife a load of crook
ed wood, and you will hear it, I warrant you
for nothing makes my wife rave equal to that
Farmer B. kept his own counsel, and when
he went to the forest to prepare his years
supply of wood he was careful to cut each
crooked stick on each side of the curve, so as
to preaerve it entire, and throw all such sticks
in a separate pile, subject to his order When
his old stock Of wood was consumed, he collect
ed an entire load of these crooked sticks, and
deposited them at his door, and said nothing.
When he came to dinner the next day he ex-
pected the verifcaton of the prophecy; but
the meal. as usual, was well cooked and in
good time, and his wife came to the board,
with her usual benefcent smile, and said moth
ing relative to the wood As the wood vast
ed away, his curiosity and anxiety increased,
till his wife one day said to him, husband, our
wood is nearly exhausted, and if you have any
more like the last you brought me, l wish you
would get, for it is the best 1 ever had, it fits
round the pots and kettles so nicely

he will take care ofyou," and Immediately
mounted his horse. Several months went
by, and the circumstance we have related
passed from the mind of Col. Burr, when
one morning a raw country boy was ush-
cred into the breakfast room, who instant
ly pulled out nicely rolled up package
from his pocket and laid it on the table.
Col. Burr opened it and was surprised to
find it contained nothing but coarse cot
ion shirt, which, he was then reminded,
he had desired should be brought him at
the metropolis, from such village. The
bearer was young Vanderlyn, and from
that day his better fortune commenced.
Under the patronage of the Vice Presl-
dent OF the United States, he was sent to
Italy. where he completed his studies,
and prepared himself for those greater
labors, which have since given him d
place in the first rank Of our native artists.
