how TO BE MISERABLE.
MARCH 90. 1851

Useful hints, if they do the good intended by
the writer
! Sit at your window and look over the way at
your neighbor's excellent mansion which he has
recently built and paid for, and sigh out, y,
that we're rich man."
Get angry with your neighbor and think that
YOU have not got friend 10 the world. Shed a
lear or two, then take walk in the burial ground,
continually saying to yourself, :" When shall be
buried here !"
your kindness, and every hour in the day whls'
oer to yourself, 81 wonder if he will pay the
note 2" Think every body means to cheat you.
Closely doubt every bill you take and doubt its
being genuine, till-you have put the owner to
rreat deal of trouble. Believe every dime pass
ed to YOU is but sixpence crossed, and express
your doubts about getting rid of it if you take it,
Never accommodate if you can possibly help it,
Never visit the sick and afflicted, and never
give tarthng TO the poor.
Grind the faces and the hearts of the poor and
Brood over your msfortunee, your lack of ia,
lent. and believe that at no distantsday you will
come to want Let the Poorhouse ever be in
your mind, with all the horrors of poverty anu
distress.
Then you will be miserable TO your hearts
content-if we may so speak-sick at heart, and
at variance with all the world

Only the dark bird of winter, the raven,
still cleaves the icy air with slow and
heavy wing, leaving behind him long
line of thin vapor. marking the track Of
his solitary flight. The influence of the
cold extends even to inanima,e nature.
The thickest trunks of trees are rent
asunaer with a loud noise, which, in these
deserts, falls on the ear like signal shot
at sea; large masses of rocks are torn from
their ancient sites, the ground in the ,un-
dras and in the rocky valleys cracks, for
ming wide yawning tissnres from which
the waters, which were beneath the earth
rises, giving off cloud of vapor, and be-
come Immediately changed into ice.
The effect of this degree Of cold ex-
tends even beyond the earth. The beauty
oithe deep polar star, so often and so Justly
praised, disappears in the dense atmos-
phere which the intensity of the cold pro-
dnces. The stars still gl>,en in the frma-
ment but their hriliancy is dimmed.-

THE MERRY HEART.
IT'S well t" have merry heart,
However short we stay;
There's wisdom in a merry heart,
What e'er the world may say!
Philosophy may lif, its head
And find out many flaw.
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with straw.
Iflife but brings us happiness-
II brings US we are told,
what's hard 10 buy. though rich ones try,
With all their heaps Of gold!
Then laugh away, let others say
"hate'er they will OF mIrth
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth Of earth!
There's beauty in merry laugh,
moral beauty too
II shows the hearts an honest heart
That's paid each man his due,
And lent a share of what's ta spare
Despite of wisdom's fears,
And makes the cheek less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroui itself in clouds,
The tempest wrath begin;
It finds spark To cheer the dark,
It's raa-.,rAt is Within
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they win of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast

Scraps by the Way.

Natures laws are fixed and sure, and
the disobedent must suffer the penalty.
Men are unwise, because they sacri-
fee their health to TIE god Of wealth.
Ladies are Unwise, for they sacrifice
their health 10 the goddess Of fashion.
What shall it profit man, if he gain
riches and honor and lose his health, his
happiness and his life.
Tne strength of nation depends on the
health of its citizens.
Those who would have pure mind,
must preserve their health.
The lungs are the same to the human?
system as the water wheel is TO the mill,
the moving power.
Merchants should take active out door

A siberian Winter.

The traveller in Siberia, during the
winter, is so enveloped in iurs that he can
scarcely move and under the thick fur
hood, which is fastened TO the bear skin
collar and covers the whole face one can
only draw in as it were by stealth, little
external air, which is so keen that il
causes very peculiar feeling to The face
and lungs. The distance from one halt
ing place to another takes abou, ten hours,
during which time the traveller must con-
tinue or horse back, as the cumbrous
dress makes it insnrportabIe to wade
through the snow. The poor horses suf-
| fer at least as much as their riders, for
beside the general effect Of the cold, they
are tormeried by ice forming in their nos
trel>, and stopping their breathing. When
they intimate this by distressed snort
and convulsive shake of the head, the
drivers relieve them by taking out the
pieces oil ice, TO save them from being
suifocatcd. When the icy ground is not
covered with SHOW, their hoof> often burst
from the effect OF the cold. The caravan
is always surrounded 10y thick cloud of
vapor; 1t is not only living bodies which
produce these effects, but even the snow
smokes. These evaporations are instantly
changed into millions Of needles of ice,
which fill the air, and cause a constant
sligh, NOISE, resembling the sound of torn
silk or satin. Even the reindeer seeks
the fores, to protect himself from the in
tensity Of the cold. Inthe tundras, where
there is no shelter TO be found, the " hole
herd crowd together as closely as possible
TO gain little warmth from each other
and may be seen standing in this way
! quite motionless.

THE POOR MAN TO HIS SON

BY ELIZA COOK.
Work, work, my boy, be OF afraid,
Look labor boldly in the face,
Take up the hammer or the spade,
And blush not for your humble place.
Hold up your brow in honest pride,
Though rough and swarth your hands NAV be
Such hands are sap veins that provide
The lfe-blood of the Nation's tree
There's honor in the toiling part,
That finds us in the fuIrowed fields;
1t stamps crest upon the heart
Worth more than all your quartered shields.
Work, work, my boy, and murmur not,
The fustian garb hetrays no shame.
The CRIME of forge SCOT leaves no blot,
And labor gi!ds the meanest name.
And man is never half SO blest
AS when the busy day is spent,
So as To make has evening rest
holiday Of glad content.
God grant thee but due reward,
guerdon portion !air aud just.
And then ne'er think thy station hard,
But work, my boy, work. hope, and trust!

That Phmton did with his sire prevail

he proudly asked that in bright PhGbus' place

Bound ny an oath. reluctantly his sire

'Tis thus that Benton grasped the reins Of State,
And aashng onward at a furious rate,
With steeds like Phnton's brimrull of fire,
His pathway marked ty desoation dire,
And running oil his course, still bent on spoil,
He brought them to. and run them on s.free soil.o
While thinking thus immortal wreaths to twine,
He heard sudden sound ''come home" '.resgnn'
But filed with rage as only n,admen feel,
Replied: "Fremoni,' COATS Vool ~ ..Appeal Ap-

Again he read ssresign,' and cursinc loud.
Eternal vengeance 'against his foes he vowed.

And tumhlrd head long into that sdeep dHch.S
Behold him there--whle envied Harry Clay,

AS resting underneath proud Benton's heel,
Is winning fresher chaplets every day.
His sceptre has departed and his rod

Nor more he SWANS the State. I.o there he lies

Not a drum was heard nor a funeral note,
AS over the '.high wal' he hurried,
Till the Rottens discharged their farewell shot

And we spoke MOI word Of sorrow,
And aSwe steadfaslygazed on the face Of the dea

And for his fierce speeches uphrait him.
Yet nothing he'll ,rrecs if they let him sleep on,

arranged

Edward Everett.
g Speeches and Disc ussions in Congress.
3. Orations and Addresses on various public &C
casions.
