Wouldn't Harry a Mechanic.

A young man commenced courtlng a young woman, and appeared to be well re- ceived. One evening he called when lt was quite late, which lead the girl to enquire where he had been.
 "I have been at work tonight" he re- piled.
 "Do you work for a living?" enquired the astonished girl.
 Certainly" replied the young man, q am mechanic"
 "Mv brother doesn't work, and l dislike the name of mechanic--I thought you were a student" and she turned up her pretty nose.
 That was the last time the mechanic vis- ited the young woman. He is now wealthy man, and has one of the best of wo- men for his wife. The young lady who disliked the name of mechanic, is now the wife of miserable tool-a regular vagrant about grog shop-and she, poor and mis- erable woman, is obliged to take in washing to support herself and children.
 Ye who dislike the name of mechanic, whose brothers do nothing but loaf and dress-beware how you treat men who work for living. Far better discard the we'll fed pauper, with all his rings, jewelry, brazen-facedness and pomposity, and take to your affections the hard handed, intelli- gent and industrious mechanic.-Thousands have bitterly regretted the folly, who have turned their backs on honest industry. A year of experience taught them severe lesson. In this country no man or woman should berespected, in our way of thinking, who will not work bodily or mentally, and who curl their lips with scorn when intro duced to hard working man.
 A CLEVER BoY.--A woman, speaking ot the smartness, aptness, and intelligence ot her son, a lad eight or nine years old, to an acquaintance, said: "He can read huently in every part of the Bible, repeat the whole catechism, and weed onions as well as his father" "Yes, mammy," added the young hopeful, "and yesterday licked New Raw, son, throwed the cat into the well, and stole old Hinckley's gimblet."

John II. Clayton.

The New York Tribune, a few days since, announced through its correspondent, the retirement of the Secretary of State "be- fore many days" with so much positive ness, as to challenge an unwilling credence in the truth of the statement. We sincere ly hope, however, it will prove to be in- correct.
 The excitementanda agitation which have for months distracted the national councils, the ceaseless war which has been waged against the cabinet by the ''bitter enders,' and particularly against MT. Clayton, have diverted for a time the public attention from the arduous duties, faithful and successful services of the several members of the ad- mnistraton. MT. Clayton is emnentlv a national statesman, possessing abilities of the highest order; and the prudence and patriotism which have distinguished his diplomatic career, have inspired all good citizens with confidence in his superior fit ness for the responsible position he now occupies.
 The business of the State Department has seldom, if ever, been discharged with greater ability or more successfully. Ne gotiatons of the greatest national impor- tance have been carried to a successful iSsue-tne dignity ot the nation has always been vindcated and sustained with admira- ble firmness and ability-the sympathies of the people have been promptly extended to nations struggling for nationality and liber- ty-treatiss of vast importance have been concluded with foreign nations, in which the rights and interests of our country have been maintained and protected Whenever the diplomatic correspondence of the State Department, during the past year, shall be published, all this labor and these advanta- ges will be found to have been done ana secured by Mr. Clayton-and that all his acts and correspondence are distinguished for ardent patriotism, signal ability and beneficial results.
 We hope and trust no "reasons of a private nature,' as we are sure none ot a public exist, that will cause Mr. Clayton 10 retire from the post he now fills with so much honor to himself and benefit to the country.-Cin. Gdz.

A PERFECT CALM.-Those who attend the halls of Congress, and hear the passions torn to tatters, would be apt to take up the idea that the whole nation was in state Of agitation and turmoil, and that the Union was every moment in danger of falling to pieces. There never was greater mis- sake. The "mighty hearts" that beat so valiantly at Washington are not able to make the public pulse in the country quick en in the slightest degree. The people are ''as calm as summer morning. and intend to remain so. They are neither agitated nor alarmed at the mimic warfare gong on in Congress- Winchester Republican.

WEALTH.-The true wealth of commu- nity is its Iabor--ts productive labor. A man is not richer for houses that he cannot occupy; lands that he cannot use; money that he cannot spend. He might own a continent in the moon, but what would it avail him? He might die of starvation in the vaults of the Bank of England, or in the undisturbed mines of Peru. Labor is the great source and instrument of subsistence and wealth. Henry Colmda.

Reindeer in Norway.

Afew minutes walk up the valley brought
 us in sight of the herd, about 200 yards off. They were standing on slight eminence close to the glacier, and an immense field of snow which filled up the end of the valley.
 The glimmer of these white masses in the
 growing dusk formed a fine relief to the out
 line of their heads and branching horns
 The deer grouped in all positions, with their
 heads turned towards us, keenly alive to our approach, presenting spectacle singu- lar!y picturesque, heightened as it was by inc grandeur of the background. ] had promised myself no small pleasure in meet ing with them; the whole of our search had
 been full of interest, and l was not disap- pointed. 1 fingered for some minutes in contemplation of the scene, but the guide was soon among them, and almost lost be- hind their tall heads and branching antiers. They were so tame, though suffered to roam at large in these boundless wastes, that they not only allowed him 10 approach them, but crowded round to receive handfuls of salt, which he doled out to them. Our coming had been announced by wild, and not unmuscal call, with which they seemed fa- miar; but they were somewhat alalmed at the approach of a stranger, and started, at me with their bright full eyes, and with heads erect, presenting a show of antlers truly formidable. However, they were soon treasured, and, finding that had salt to give them, pressed round to receive it. 1 had not imagined that the reindeer were such noble animals as found them. lcould not cease admiring their beautiful eyes, their wide and branching horns of varied shape, covered at this season with skin and soft down-thei bodies and fine clean limbs. There were at least two hundred, of all sizes, from the little lawns and the neatly shaped young does, to the majestic antlered bucks, some of whose horns are not less than five or six feet across. One or two of the older ones had flat projecting rone were exactly alike. A curious crack ing noise was produced by the joints of their legs and feet as they moved about. Some of them were yet partially covered with their winter coat, presenting a singular ap- pearance, as the fur is about two inches longer than the summer coat, and of much lighter color. pulled of handfuIs of it. The perpetual changes of attitude and pos- ition of these graceful animals, some lying on the ground, some breaking into groups, gave endless variety to a scene which l scarcely knew how to quit At last we leave them in full possession of their roman tic resting place; and as gaze back, l see them fast settling themselves for the night on the messy ground Iearned that the herd is shared among the farmers of Forum, who purchased it from party of Finmark- CTS. The value of reindeer is about ten or twelve dollars Forester's Norway.

TIE HoRsE's EYE-I will now inform you how for certain you may know whether a horse has strong and good eye, or a weak eye, and likely to go blind. People in general turn a horses head to the bright light to examine his eyes. You can know very little by this method, unless it be a very defective one. You must examine the eye first, when the horse stands with his head to the manager. Look carefully at the pupil of the eye, in the horse; it is of an ob long form; carry the size of the pupil in your mind, then turn the horse about, bring him 10 bright light, and if the pupil of the eye contracts and appears much smaller than it was in the darker light, then you may be sure the horse has a strong, good eye; but provided the pupil remains nearly the same size as it appeared in the darker light, the horse has weak eye, therefore have nothing to do with him.
