The destruction of the Ancient Temples and
Pyramids is rapidly going on. He says
The Northern Pyramid of Dashour is now

or villa in the neighborhood; the tombs OF
Sakkare are used for the same purpose; the
mounds of Abydus are ransacked for build

knowledge of travellers, to whom indeed,
they have remained utterly unknown until
now that they 40 longer exist. | went to

THE WAY TO BE- HARFYs

Some think Il q hardship to work for their bread,
Although for our good il was meant;
But those who don't work have no right to be fed,
Aud the idle are never content.
An honest employment brings pleasure spd gain,
And makes Us our trouble forget,
For those who work hard have no time 10 complain
And its better 10 labor than fret,
And Il we had riches. they cond NOT procure
A happy and peacrable mind;
Rich people have troubles as we'll 40 the poor,
Although pfa different kind.
II signifies not wa al oar stations have been,
Nor whether we're little or great;
For happi p.ss lies in the temper bin,
And not in he outward estate.
W. oaly need labor as well a. we car
For ali that our bodies may need.
Sill doing dur duty to God and to man,
And we shall be happy indeed

VALUE eP OLD RorE.-Among the nu.
merous worn out, and often considered
worthless materials, which the ingenuity OF
man has discovered means Of re-manufac-
turing, and rendering of equal value with
the original substance, are old tarred ropes,
which have long beenin use at coal pits
Our readers will be surprised when we in
form them that out of this dirty and appa-
rently unbleachable substance, is produced
tissue paper Of the most beautiful fabric,
evenness of surface and delicacy of color, a
ream of which, with wrappers and strings,
weighs two and half pounds. 1t is prlh-
cipally used in the potteries for transferring
the various patterns to the earthen ware,
and is found superior to any other substance
vet known for that purpose. It is so tena-
cious, that a sheet iftwisted by the hand in
the form of rope, will support upwards of
one cwt. Truly we live in an age OF inven-
ton !-Liuerpool Standard.

PosER.-A calm, blue-eyed, self-com-

THE WAC OF THE CABINET.-The jour-
nal of Commerce publishes the following:
"Webster, it is said, seldom stoops to a
Jest in his speeches. Occasionally he un-
bends in social intercourse. An eastern
paper gives some of the things he has said
on such occasions. Some one once told him
his coat was too short. twill be long e.
nough before get another was his re-
sponse. At public, meeting, young as
pirant for political honors attempted to drink
a toast to the honor of the immortal John
Quincy Adams, who was present. John
@. Adams said the toaster, may he perplex
his enemies here the speaker hesita-
ted, and Webster thundered out, 'as ne has
his friends Foote made fulsome speech,

at one time, in the Senate, but the 'godllke'
cut him short by shouting git eout.' The
Yankee twang he gave the sentence con-
yulsed the Senate with irresistible mirth,"

STANDING ARMIES.

At the present time, although peace pre-
walls in Europe, he military organizations oi
most of the great Powers are upon the wal
establishment. France has regular army
of4O8, 900 men, without counting the National
Guards, who number more than Two millions
the regular army of Russia comprises GA
600 men Austria has regular army OF
4O5, 900 men; Prussia one of 121 900. Both
Austria and Prussia have also an organizaE
ton called the Landwher, similar to that OF
the National Guards in France. Great Brit
ain, with her colonies, maintains a regular
army of 104, 900 men.
Their immense establishments, supported
at immense cost, are deemed necessary in a
time of peace-neccessary to defend the
Governments against their own people, and
to defend both people and Governments a.
eainst external attacks. 1t would be hard
to say which dangeri is to be regarded as the
greater-that of intestine war or that OF out
side aggresson. The people, however pay
the expense of guarding against both.
In nothing, perhaps, are the advantages
of our condition as people more strlkingly
apparent, than in the fact, that neitherinter-
nal nor external dangers require us to main
tain more than nominal standing army.
Upon the European scale, indeed,our little
force of some ten or twelve thousand men
would be mere squad. Scattered about in
posts on the frontier, or occupying recruiting
stations on the Atlantic seaboard, the troops
of the United States are seldom seen at all
by the great mass of our people. They con
stitute in fact, less an army ths n the nucleus
of an army--a nucleus, which is rich IN mill.
tary knowledge, and capable of furnishing
teachers and leaders, on an emergency, for a
host.
But the real military force of the United
States, if occasion should call it forth is to
be found in the mass of the population, from
which hundreds of thousands of men might
be drawn, VINO, after little discipline and
service, would become excellent soldiers
We have always a mighty army in.embryo

in drawing forth batalions, regiments and

MUsMuR OF THE SHELL.

Mrs Norton has written some beautiful poetry an
smono her most touching pieces is the following swet
tile gem, entitled the "Murmur of the Shell :"
A sailor left his native land,
A simple gift h. gave:
A Asra-shr gather'd ny his hand,
From out ihc ripping wave;
Oh love, by this rem mhcr me!

But thou shal, hear The sounding sea,

COMMENCING LIFE EARLY.-A couple in
Green co, Ohio, the husband eighteen and
the wife sixteen years of age, who have
been married about four years, have two
children, one of which is over three years
and the other over one year old. If they
keep on at this rate, they will have quite a
family about them when they arrive at the
years of neutrality-suspicious. We should say
maturity.
