KEY TO CHARACTER.-Ihe differences
of character are never more distinctly
seen than in times when men are sur
rounded with difficulties and misfortunes.
There are some who, if disappointed by
failure in an undertaking from which they
expected great things. make up their
minds not to exert themselves against
what they call fate; others despondlng
and hopeless; but third class of men will
rouse themselves in such moments, and
say to themselves, "the more difficult it
is to attain my ends, the more honorable
it will be-" and this is maxim every one
should impress upon himself as law
Some of those who are guided by it, pros
ecute their plans with obstinaccy, and so
perish; others who are more practical
men, if they have failed in one way, Will
try another. z

women ought to make a pledge not to kiss
a man who uses tobacco:
$50 they did but the deuce of it is, all
the handsome men use it in some shape
and kissing is luxury not to be dispensed
with. AS to female kiss, faugh! there's
no efervessence in it its as flat as an un
mixed soda powder! If Pm vctimized
that way, always take an early applca-
ton of soap and water. You will see
women practice it sometimes, just to keep
their 'hand n,' Clips, | mean,) but its a
miserable substituted sham article done
half the time to tantalize some of the male
audience! Il hope to be pardoned for
turning States evidence but don't care

raj gift, (not to be acquired by any bun
gler;) when you meet with gifted BROTH

says. There's your universal kisser, who
can't distinguish between your kiss and
your grandmother there's your
philosophical, transcendental kisser, who

bEUTIFUL SENTIMENT.-A man with
out some sort of religion is, at best, a
poor reprobate, the football of destiny,
no tie linking him to infnity and to the
wondrous eternity that is within him; but
a woman without it is even worse-a
flame without heat, a rainbow without
color, flower without perfume. A man
may in some sort tie his frail hopes and
honors with weak, shifting ground tackle,
to his business of the world; but woman
without that anchor which they call Faith,
is adrft and awreck. A man may cluni-
silly continue kind of responsibility or
motive, but he can find no bias in ali other
system of right action than that of spirit
ual faith man may craze his thoughts
and his brain to thoughtfulness in such
poor harborage as fame and reputation
may stetch before him; but woman
where can she put her hope in storms, if
not in heaven! And that sweet truthful
ness, that abiding love, that endearng
hope, mellowng every scene of life, light
ing them with the pleasantest radiance;
when the worlds cold storms break like
an army with smoking cannon-what can
bestow it all but holy soul-te to what is
stronger than All army with cannon p
Who that has enjoyed the love of God
loving mother, but will echo the thought
with energy, and hallow it with tear?
NApoLEoN's PRESENCE OF MIND.--Na-
poleon was SO partial to snuff, that he
used it to excess, in general supplying his
nasal organs from his waistcoat pocket
Many reasons have been assigned for his
adopting the pocket of his walstcoat as a
substitute for the article generally used,
and as we have not met with the following
before, we venture on its insertion:
son the eve of the battle of Waterloo
as Napoleon was rumnating in his tent,
upon what might be the event of the con-
f1ict about to be commenced, he took his
snuff-box off the table and proceeded to
make use of it, but SO familiar was he
with the quality of its contents, that as
he took a pinch between his finger and
thumb, he perceived it felt gritty to the
finger, instead of being as usual. though
the difference was not visible to his naked
eye.
"He Immediately, by way of trying its
genuineness, gave some to a dog that was
lying in the tent. 1t had an almost instan-
taneous effect on the animal, and in the
end deprived it of existence. Bonaparte's
suspicion was now confirmed, he plainly
s~vv tt.a. atvemPt had been made to
poison him, but such was his great pres
ence of mind, that he took care to let none
of the officers composing liis.staff know of
it at such a critical time Ibis only eau
ton being to prevent like occurrence
taking place, was, the substituting of his
waistcoat pocket for the snuff-box."

AN Apr F1arRE-An INDIAN

AN APT FIGuRE.-An Indian
cheieftain, during the early settle
ment of New England, invited a
minister to settle as missionary among
his tribe, and to induce him to do 50
the Sycamore said, "You shall be to
us as one who stands bya running
water, filling many vessels"
We have never met, out OF Holy
Writ, a more beautiful figure than
this. Indeed it seems to have a
resemblance to the simple aptness OF
the old Hebrew poetry, and to express
by chaste and delightful comparison
the true nature Of the office OF an
evangelist 1t is not his own Wis
dom that he presents, or his own full
ness that he puts forward. He brings
forth from the inexhaustable supply
which Revelation furnishes, "for all
who thirst after righteousness" He
himself is but the minister, the ser
want. He rests not on his own suffi-
ciency, but upon the sutliclency OF
Christ. He draws not from his own
fountain, but that which has been
opened for every transgressor. He
speaks not in his own name, but III
that of his divine Master. pray for
us, that the word Of God may have
free course and be gloriied."
