such event they might, they would be so
powerful as to be able to rule the country.
What they call the "fourth estate" in Eng
land would become the state here.
5. Never give away Il cent in what is fool
ishly called charity. Every person apply
ING for assistance may be an impostor, and
it is as sound rule in morals as it is in
law that you should have the benefit of any
doubt that exists. By giving money to
beggars you encourage idleness, and injure
the industrious.
g. Never 60 near the sick, and espe-
cially do not watch with them. Who
knows but that you yourself contract dis
ease ty 50 doing /: If friend has the
small PIX, you can say you were never
vaccinated, deeming a precaution like that
a fragrant distrust of the care of Provi-
deDce.
7. Observe all the laws that do not 90
to limit your powers of action or restrain
the indulgence of your passions. Such as
do either of these things are obviously
wrong, and therefore to be disregarded.
s. BE very earnest in your opposition
to evils that exist great distance from
your home, but pay no attention to such
as exist around you. Were you to troub-
lie yourself about these latter, you might
perhaps be called upon to aid in their re-
moval, to say nothing of the offence you
might give to the respectable people who
have either neglected to extirpate them
or who are directly interested in their con
tinuancc
8. Never seek to deliver from danger
any person who has fallen overheard, OF
got under the heels of horse you may
get drowned yourself, or have your brains
kicked out Ca1pet-Bag.

"Ive done Smoking %

Our friend delivered himself thus, hon
estly and in earnest. AS he emptied his
mouth of the last segar, our mouth be-
came full-full of blessings.
Blessed is the man himself. He is more
wise, more cleanly, more savoury and
more reasonable than when he went smo-
king and putting about like q locomotive.
Blessed is the mans ooife She is the
happier woman for the four reasons men,
toned in the last sentence, and for many
more. She had hoped against hope tor
the last puff; but it has been made at last
We seem to see her face brighten-her
step is more elastic-her voice is sweeter
her welcome to her husband as he reach
es home is more cordial She has our
hearty congratulations.
Blessed is the mans house An unsa-
worry spirit has gone out of it. More easi-
ly can it be kept neat and tidy. Old re-
pellencies will repulse no more
Blessed is the mans apparel. A GER
tain fragrance has left it; but not to the
sorrow of those oft in proximity with him.
His wardrobe is minus real annoyance,
and plus the benediction of many a friend.
And blessed is the mans health. In the
smoke and fire he so long kept up beneath
his nostrils, he fed an insiduous enemy
And his whole nervous and digestive sys-
TEN unites in the benediction we now in
dite.
And blessed is the mans pocket. A leak
i. stopped. As much as before will flow
in, and less flow out.
And blessed be the mans rcsclution.-
May it tower aloft, like granite pillar,
above all the smoke and fire that may as
sail it. That last puff BE it the last !!

Show Furniture.

Major Noah, of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, wrote great many good
articles'in his time on various subjects,
among which is the following, which COM
mends itself to the good sense of every
body.
"Furniture too good to be used is a
nuisance. What can be more unpleasant
than the aspect of room where every
thing is bagged up? Chairs and sofas in
pinafores, mirrors in muslin, druggetted
carpet, a hearth rug wrong side out, and
chandelier in sack, seen by rays of
light that struggle edgeways through the
Sits in the shutters, and exhaling that pc
culiar brown holland fragrance, which be-
longs to drawing-rooms, in masquerade
dress, form one OF the most cheerless, dis
pirited, unhumanlike spectacles in the dio-
rama of domestic life. We would as lief
be ushered into vault as into such an
apartment Nothing can be more chilling
to the feelings, except a perspective view
eff the family wash taking an airing on the
clothes line.
Why do people buy magnificent furni-
ture to clothe it in odious disguises' Does
the glory of exhibiting the articles undress-
ed halfa dozen evenings in the year, pay
for all the cost and trouble; The miser
enjoys the flashing lustre of his gold every
time he lifts the lid of his strong box; but
what pleasure can there be in possessing
a species ofproperty that is invisible to
the owner of it three hundred and fifty
days out of three hundred and sixty five ?
Give us furniture that is made to wear
tables upon which you can bring down
Your fist with emphasis without throwing
the lady Of the house in Mysteries chairs

A PANAMA WEDDING.-A correspon-
dent of the New York Herald, writing from
Panama, thus describes wedding in that
city, of which he was witness =
A week since, one of the most elegant
weddings took place which has ever been
witnessed in Panama. The parties were
Francis w. Rice, one of the editors of the
California Courier, and Senorita Donna
JoSeta Dolores Arosemena.
The SenOrita ,Josafa is about l9 wears
CT age, petite, but extremely elegant and
brilliant, and has broken the hearts of at
least a dozen of the Panamanos. But
somehow or other, editors arc great favor
ties with the women, and it is folly for outsi-
ders to expect to compete with them before
the shrine of Venus
was perfectly astonished to meet 50
many splendid women in Panama as gra-
ced these nuptials. Their dresses were
of the most elegant description, and the
charm OF their manners was a perfect de-
light to me. The bride was dressed mag
niicently, but with the most perfect good
taste. She wore in her dark hair beau.
tiful gold comb, apparently made of Cali.
fornia specimens, covered by long white
veil trailing almost to the ground, and sur
mounting the whole was crown of white
roses. One Of my female acquaintance
tells me, that her robe was composed of
the fbres of the pine apple, richly en-
broidered by hand, which cost the labor of
two years, of Lusan, and was purchased
for at least $500 or $500.

Flowers.

Flowers, of all created things, are the
most innocent and simple, and most su-
perbly complex-playthin for childhood,
ornaments of the grave, and the companion
of the cold corpse in the coffin Flowers
beloved by the wandering idiot, and stu
died by the deep thinking man of science;
flower! that of pcrishing things are most
heavenly flowers that increasingly ex-
pand to heaven their grateful, and to man
their cheerful looks partners of human
joy, soothers of human sorrow fit en-
blems of the victor's triumphs, of the
young BRIDES bushes; welcome to crow
ded halls, and graceful upon solitary
graves Flowers are in the volume ofna-
ture, what the expression "God is love"
is in the volume of revelation. What
dreary, desolate place would be world
without a flower! 1t would be face
without smile, a feast without welcome
Are not flowers the stars Of the earth
and are not stars the flowers of heaven?
One cannot look closely at the structure of
flower without loving it. They are en-
blems and manifestations ofGod's love to the
creation; and the means and ministrations
of mans love to his fellow creatures, for
they first awaken in his mind sense of
the beautiful and good. The very inutil-
ty of flowers is their excellence and great
beauty, for they lead us to thoughts of gen.
erosity and moral beauty, detached from
and superior to all sslfshness so that
they are pretty lessons in natures book of
instruction, teaching man that he liveth
not by bread alone, but that he hath anoth-
er than an animal life.

Women VS.. Ladies.

What laundering, miserable work, folks
make Of it when they endeavor to elevate
things by giving them new affected titles +?
What vulgarity is equal to the thrice sod
den vulgarity of refinement :" We think
it was Dickens who complained that there
were no longer any boys in all England
"that the boys went out with George the
Third" A similar calamity has befalleu
us in America. We have no longer any
UOmen, or at least, no acknowledged spec
linens of that interesting portion of the
human race. The women have gone ex-
tinct, according to the popular phraseol-
ogy,) and have been superseded by GA
dies o'-Alack-a-day for the change !',-
We regard women as "the noblest work
of God" but ga lady," at her highest
pitch of perfection, is only the noblest
work OF French milliner. Just apply the
term, for example, as well to the highest
as to the lowest grades of the gentle sex,
and the ludicrous absurdity of its use will
make you chary of the word forever after.
A person wishing to see the female wards
in prison was answered by the jailor,
"''ir we have no LadieS here at PRESENT.
A clergyman discoursing of the religious
lnclinations of woman, inquired with much
emphasis, "Who were the last at the cross /,
Ladies. Who were the first at the sepul-
chrc :. Ladies'" Ladies? God forbid

that you can lean back in-in a word give
us comfort, let us wear things out. 1t is
provoking to see chairs and sofas preserved
for years without spot or blemish, while
the wrinkles are multiplying in the face,
and the gray hairs on the head ofthe pro-
prietor. For these and sundry other rea-
sons, we have an especial spite against
show furniture.

l. Never do to-day what can be put
of until tomorrow. If you should die in
the interval, it will be great consolation
to know that you have saved your time
and time is money,
2. Borrow all the money that you can,
and pay back as little as possible. The
person who loans money is fool, and de-
serves to be taught wisdom by a rough
process, which you, as good citizen, are
to do your utmost to see inflicted upon
him.
3. Never lend money, not even to
your dearest friend. Itis'nt safe. Your
friend may die, Or he may think it his
duty to teach you the folly of lending mon
ey, which is ones best friend.
q. Take and read all the papers, but
never pay for any of them. The lcen-
tiousness of the press deserves to be re-
buked. If newspaper editors could col
lect all their bills, and become rich, as iu
