"ro.morrow, nj tomorrow and tomorrow
Crssps in this pstty pace from day to day."
II looks like folly IN the hurly burly Of
excitemsnt-the clamor, and confusion
the scorching Sun, and the dust Of every
day life, for man to stop awhile-at the
risk Of loosing his life to consider time. y
True it is that IL costs nothing, and comes
and goes--stealing upon US with noieless
tread and leaving no foot prints yet should
we not enjoy the pleasures Of existence
without pausing now and then, to give
thanks to the Great Giver Of all things for
keeping the worlds machinery in order, and
hanging up lamps in the Heavens that it
may see how to run.
Time. The consideration Of the past.
and the hope for the future, should not make
us oblivious of the present, which after all
is the only interchangeable reality. How
happy might the world be with the light
of intelligence that now shines upon it,
could people be made to concern themselves
about what is, and not what will be F.? What
will be, is like what pas-an ARABIAN
nights story" mere dream, that time
with his foot prints is daily effacing the
recollection of. Great men-great nations
and monuments crumble to the dust as fast
as they are reared up; like mole-hills, on
the face of creation, or bubbles, on oceans
surface, they fall again into the bosom Of
the great deep, and succeeding generations
look back at the great volum of fables, and
ask "where are they7 A deasert waste
re-echoes the question.
A happy feature in the dispensation of
Providence is, that each man in the count
less myriads of human beings that have ex-
listed, has looked upon himself as an excep-
ton to the law, which requires all that live
to grow old and die !! And each human
being now as then, travels along thinking
himself impervious to the shafts of the enc
my to all living things and when the dreams
Of his youth are on the point of realization
he sees them dissipated into thin air like
"The baseless fabric of a vision.'
We are not moralizers, but we like now
and then to call the attention of our readers
10 the fact that we live in social relations
towards one an other, that are susceptible of
great improvement. The evils of the pre-
sent organization of society are so apparent
to every one that we need not point to them
It should be the agreeable duty of every
good citizen to seek in his own person to |
remedy them.

"A western reporter gives the following
description Of confagrati on;
The devastating element not satisfied
with floods of water belched forth its Grim
son tints and spread the fiery flag of devas-
tation over entire squares, unchecked by
the superhuman exertions of the fremen,
who seemed Ike lost spirits in the halls of
Pandemonium, as they locked around the
terrific spectacle.-Holy Marks to T.

rest Of mankind. So the world ways.

Uncle TOMS Cabin.-Hans Yor.
kel in his letter to the Bulletin thus
writes Of this most trashy and DISCUS.
ting farago Of lies and nonsense got up
in a poor imitation If the French flashy
style of Madam Dudevant and Eugene
Sue.
I read Uncle Toms Cabin because
l read everything which is popular
and because | saw that it should be
understood in its true light. It's cru.
dities of style, its wants Of information
on general subjects, its extravigances
Of narrative its abSirdities of plot and
its falsities of statement are to be culled
in every chapter and yet its stuff is in
nearly every Northern household
My copy has been purified as all trash
should be-through the medium Of q
toDgs and anthracite. It was selling
enormously too in England until the
judicious review in the London Times
stopped it.

CULTIVATION OF TEAM CALIFORNIA
Having determined that the Chinese shall
not work in the mines, the Californians,
Yankee like, are beginning to cast about
for some profitable use to which to apply the
present and prospective crowd of Chinese
Immigrants. The Alta California suggests
that the very best use that can he made of
the $4,000 Cinnamon now in California, and
the seven to ten thousand more who will be
there before the year ends, is to set them to
cultivating the soil, and particularly to
raising the plant. The editor believes that
California possesses the very soil and CHI
mate best adapted to the cultivation of the
tea plant; ;and that, with the Chinese laborers
at hand, the work might be Immediately and
most advantageously commenced; and that
in few years California might furnish the
entire 28,0O0,o 900 lbs Of tea which are now
yearly demanded by the Uuited States alone.
This is surely not bad idea. The question
has often been asked: Why cannot we raise
our own tea! Surely every soil and climate
can be found in some part of this wide spread
country; and no inconsiderable portion ofthe
right soil and climate may be found on the
Pacific coast. Atall events the experiment
should be made.
