SMALL, MYSTERIES.

In the home circle nothing is more produc-
tive of mischief than small mysteries, the con-
ccalmelt of little things, and the lurtivc accom-
plishmcnt of what might better be done openly.
DR.. Johnson in his torcible language once said,
Nothing ends more fatally than mysterious
ness in rifles indeed it commony y ends in guilt,
for those who begin by conccalmcnt Of inno-
cent things, will soon have something to hide
which they dare not bring to light"
The faculty for conccalment--or rs the
phrenologists tcrmit, ,sccrctivcness," is adanger-
Gus gift, Openness and candor are delightful in
household; giving all the members pleasant
participation in each others happiness. When
we discover that Il friend has deceived or only
half trusted us we regard him ever after with
suspicion, and it requires very long time for
him to recover the ground he has lost in our
confidence and esteem. Especially; for when
we perceive that those abroad know more OF
the motives of Il member of the same house
thar we do, it seems us if wrong were done,
which cannot be forgotten.
Husbands and wives ensure domestic dis
comfortby having out door coniidants. Cool
ness and even separations have had their rise IN
some trilling matter of this sort when the par
ties might, by wiser course have renamed
alltctonae and inscparable. Children who
prefer other friends over their parent are almost
sure to be led into error and unhappiness
While under the home roof, the heart should be
kept there; the prcIiminaries to Il future home
causing the onI exception. And even in such
a case, he or she is usually best married, whose
parents were earliest apprised of the engage

The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad.

The City having subscribed S25o,o;o to tie
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, payable in
stock Of the above Company, and their charter
having made 10 provision for subscriptions of this
character, a proposition, we understand, has been
laid before the citizens to come forward individu-
ally and guarantee the sum fer this stock, in order
to overcome the obstacle to its acceptance. The
Mercury of Saturday says: We have no doubt
that the public spirit OF our citizens will induce
them promptly TO respond to this call, and thus
render cfltctual subscription which in its presen
form defeats its own effect.
