Joy and Content.

There are two kindly flowers in the
garden of human life, terminated upon the
sweet rosebush, happiness, and watered
by the near running brook ofinfinite love.
Happy he who shall be able to dull them
without being wounded by the thorns!
These leave their sting behind, and the
beautiful flowers become metamorphosed
in the hand Of the gatherer to sorrow and
discontnet. The thorns differ, and those
keenest are jealousy and doubt. These
produce lurking pang in the breasts of
the wounded, and change the fresh hue
of the flowers Of joy and content in the
warm color Of sorrow and discomfort; yes,
the wound is most often incurable.-
Consolation, hope and confidence, are the
excellent herbs from which is prepared
the balsam, that alone is capable of extract
Ing the spreading poison from the SER
Pent-sting Of the thorns, and give the
flowers their former hue.

PopuLAR FALAcIEs. There is a won-
derful vigor of constitution in a popular
fallacy. When the world has once got
hold of a lie it is astonishing how hard it is
to get it out of the world. You beat a.
bout the head till it scenes to have given
up the ghost; and 10! the next day it is as
healthy as ever again. The best example
OF the vitality of fine saying which has
the advantage Of being fallacy, is in the
overhackneysd piece Of nonsens attribu-
ted to Archimedes-viz: ''that he could
move the earth, if he had any plac at a
distance from it to fix prop for his lev
En-" This is one of the stancard illusions
one OF the necessary stock in trade. for all
orators poets' and newspaper writer's; and
persons, whenever they meet with it, take
Archimedes for an extraordinary great
man, and cry, "Lord, how wonderiib1',~
Now if Ashimedes had found his place, his
prop, and lever, and if he could have NOV
ed it with the swiftness of cannon-hsi,
485 miles every hour, it would have ia,
ken him just 44s963 $40, OOO, 900, yeare
to have raised the earth one inch!-
And yet people will go on quoting absur-
dity asgospel, wondering at the wisdom
Of Archimedes.
