How TO MAKEtA FoRTUNE.-Take earnestly
hold of life, as capacitated for and destined to,
a high and noble purpose Study closely the
minds bent for a labor or profession, Adopt
it early, and pursue it steadily, never looking
back to the turned furrow, but forward to the
new ground, that ever remains to be broken,
Means and ways are abundant to every man s
success, if will and action are rightly adapted
to them Our rich men, and our great men,
have carved their paths to fortune and fame by
this eternal principle principle that cannot
fail to reward its votary if it be resolutely pur-
sued. To sigh or repine over lack of inherit
ance, is unmanly. Every man should strive to
be a creator instead of inheritor. He should
bequeath instead of borrow The human race,
in this respect want dignity and discipline, 1t
prefers to wield thc sword of yalorous forefa
thera, ssfpr ting its own weapons. This is q
mean az. ignoble spirit Let every man be
conscious of the God in him, and the providence
over him, and fight his own battles with his
own good lance Let him feel that it is better
tc earn crust, than to inherit Golfers of gold
This spirit of selfnobility once learned, and
every man will discover within himself, under
God, the elements and capacities of wealth
He will be rich, inestimably rich, in selfresour-
ces, and can lift his face proudly to meet the
noblcst among men

A GUINEA LARGER THAN GoD.--Robert Hall
once wrote the word God on a small slip of
paper, showed it to friend, and asked whether
he could see it. He replied eyes" He then
covered the word with a guinea, and again
asked Can you see z" and was answered,
"Non He did this to show. his friend how

thus placed, does not extinguish its light nor
destroy its existence; it is still in the heavens

object near his eye is larger than the sun, but
still it is a very small particle of matter. The
love of gold may so fill the mind that there is
no place left in it for the great God of the uni

DoN'T CoMPLAIN-A merchant was once
returning from market. He was on horseback,
and behind his saddle was yalise filed with
money The rain fell with violence, and the
good old man was wet to his skin. At the
time he was quite vcxed, and murmured be-
cause God had given him such hard weather
for his Journey. He soon reached the border
of a thick forest. What was his terror on be-
holding on one side of the road robber, whose
levelled gun was aiming at him and attempt
ing to fire But the powder being wet with
the rain, the gun did not go off, and the mer-
chant, giving spurs to his horse, fortunately had
time to escape. As soon as he found himself
safe, "How wrong was ! not to endure the
rain patiently, as sent by Providence If the

GENTLE WoRDs.-Who has not felt the in
fluence oil a gentle word? What person have
they not overcome with a greater power than
harsh words or taunting remarks? Yet how
few are in the habit of using them. Persons
of the most trying dispositions breaking forth
in loud EXPLANATIONS of anger, without any
regard for the feelings of the individual for
whom they were intended, become as calm as
summers day when the answer in return
was all genteness they become ashamed and
humbled before their victim Again, we see
those who have met with others like themselves,
answering each other tauntingly, and so keep
up the controversy for hours, when a gentle
word would have settled all difficulties
What worlds of luxury do they afford the
weary culprit; he receives with heartfelt graf
itude one little word in kindness spoken; they
revive the better feelings of his heart To the
old, they are a balm of consolation that will
light up the aged features with a smile, beau
tiful to behold They bind the links of affec-
ton we have for our children nearer to our
hearts, and cause their little breasts to palp-
tate with joy; SO it is with every one, even the
most depraved. Why, then: should we not
endeavor to smile sweetly upon all, and ever
strive to use gentle words to those that sur
round us? They are little words, that require
neither wealth nor exertion upon our part to
bestow.- Wacerley Magazine.

great expense he has recently put them to in the way
of catching runaway slaves we think he ought to be

them of informing their Hunker friends of the go-

make an attack upon the Free Sellers assembled
