Form the Morn The Ills of Life.
BY PETER PINFEATHER

DIX Eh INT 1'Aa Aii-N' "The ills of life!" the ills of life! What are the ills of life! The "Upas" fruits of morbid care, Which man e'er dooms hlmselfto to bear' Through self sought mental strife. The ills of life. how much we fear Imaginary ills; And fearing, fret and fume, the while; To guard against those ills we toll' And make them greater still. The ills oflife! mis2alhropy Oft makes us sad--iorl0rn; And teaches, as we grope life through; Along its darkless path of woe, That "man was made to mourn. The ills of life! "man's chiefest il' Hath ever had its rise In gloomy thoughts-distracting fears' And broodings OCT tomorrow cares Tomorrow miseries. Pope says "Whatever is, Is right" And reason says lis true; Why then regret things past, and why The evils of tomorrow tie Upon your shoulders too! Give to the winds to-morrow's cares, Let home our vessel guide; As gails the storm you onward steer, Let resolution still be near, Your bark will stem the tide.

To MEASURE AN ACRE OF GRoUND.-In measuring land, 3O4 square yards make ore square rod, and 40 square rods make one square rood, four of which, or lS0 rods make one acre. It is evident therefore that 40 rods long by 4 rods wide will make an acre. The same result may be arrived at by measuring 229 feet in length and I9S feet in width, or by measuring 7333 yards in length, by 66 yards in breadth. To lay out an acre square, 2O9 feet on each side is the nearest foot that will make an acre, being less than an inch each way over the exact distance, 43,560 superficial feet, or POS O5-l00 feet on each side constitutes an acre of ground.

Some abolitionists in Boston, last week, contributed funds sufficient 10 defray the expense of large hall for one evening, at South Boston, in order to hear a colored man, who had been slave, give an account of his life. Instead of opposing slavery, however, he surprised and confused the con- tributors by defending it, and said he had no objection 10 going back to "Old Virgin ia." He was frequently interrupted, but persevered to the end of his statement.
