TO THE PUBLIC.

The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
(par rticularly the portion situated in Iinos) work
cd under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
mourning the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference TO the navigable
rivers and other cheap means of transportation of
their products to St. Louis, and in the midst Of
a country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products Of the latitude in which they are located

How to be Miserable.

How TO be happy,'is very common
healing to an article addressed 10 the Young.
have seen IT in the papers so often that [
should not think Of writing upon it.. But I
believe that have never seen any thing in
print 10 tell young people how to be misera-
be'
How to be miserable Well guess we
don't want to be miserable
DoH't want to be miseIable? How so ?
Then why do You take so much pains to be
miserable? cannot think how ctild or
youth who is free from care or trouble, and
full OF buoyant spirits, can be miserable,
without trying very hard to be so. But ds |
have seen great many young persons, who
not only seemed determined TO make Them.
selves miserable, but every body around
them also, | thought perhaps they would
thank me for telling them how they may do
II easier.
Ia the first place, If you want 10 be mis-
erable, be selfish. Think all the time Of
yourself, and Of your own things. Don't
care about any body else. Have no feeling
for any but Yourself Never think of
enjoying the satisfaction of seeing others
happy; but the rather, if you see smiling
face, be jealous, lest another should enjoy
what you have not. Envy every one who
is better eff in any respect, than yourself,
think unkindly Of him, and speak lightly Of
him. BE constantly afraid lest some one
should encroach upon your rights; be watch
ful against it, and if any one comes near
your things, snap at him like a mad dog
Contend earnestly for every thing that is
your own, though II may not he worth pin;
for your rights are Just as much concerned
as if il were pound Of gold. Never yield
point.
BE very sensitive, and take every thing
that is said 10 you in playfulness, in The
most serious manner. Be Jealous Of your
| friends, lest they should not think enough Of
you. And at any time they should seem to
neglect You, put the worst construction upon
il you can, and conclude that they wish to
cut your acquaintance aud so the next time
/ you meet them, put on a sour look and show
| a proper resentment. You will soon get rid
! Of them, and cease to be troubled with
friends. You will have the pleasure Of be-
ing shut up in yourself.
Be very touchy and irritable. Cultivate a
sour, cross, snappish disposition. Never
speak in good nature il you can help it,
Never be satisfied with any thing, but al
ways be freIring. Pout at your fnlher and
mother get angry with your brothers aud
sisters; or if you are alone, fret at your
books, or your work, or your play. Never
look ut or admire any thing that is beau-
tiful or good; but fix your eye Oh The
dark side of every thing complain of de-
lects in the best Of things. and be always on
The look ont for whatever is deformed or
ugly, or offensive in any way, and nru up
your nose al it. If you will do half OF these
things YOU will become miserable enough

Exhumed Relics from Nineveh.

Rev. Mr.. Marsh, Missionary Of the Ameri-
can Board at Mosul, has sent to this country
some very interesting relics excavated from the
site of ancient Nineveh, on the banks of the
llgris, and obtained BY himself directly from
.ne runs. They are described by the Daily
"aes TO be twelve in number. Although the
'es'e's are not uniformly legible, the works
were evidently intended for ornaments TO pri-
Va'e dwellings, or the more elegant public ed
ihces. In several instances, the marks of the
chlsel are still fresh, apparently, as on the dav
they were cut; and the delicacy and beau,v of
the workmanship are such as to excite ,ba m
bounded admiration of the beholder. The ma
terial upon which the inscriptions are DOR.
trayed, is a soft grayish marble or limestone.
Some of the specimens consist of earth or
burnt clay, resembling brick. One of the
smaller pieces contains a representation Of
warrior in his chariot The head and bust
are perfect, and show distinctly the Assyrian
mode of dressing the head. A war horse,
fully caparisoned, forms the subject of another
representation. The head and neck are nearly
perfect, but the body is lost. In the name aud
trapPings, the hand of time is scarcely visible.
The largest specimen is also representation
OF the warlike preparations Of the Assyrians.
Two shields, circular in form, and admirably
preserved in outline and finish, occupy tho
centre SBehind these, appear the heads of two
or three warriors, crowned by concal caps,
and protected by ear-faps. There is re-
markable variety in the style of headdress OBJ
servable in these specimens. Besides these,
there are two fine specimens Of the cuneiform
or arrowheaded character, which are preserved
IN great perfection.-N. Y. Erang.
