NEVER GET ANGRY--E does no good.
Some sins have seeming compensation or
apology, present qualification of some sort;
but anger has none A man feels no better
for it. 1t is really torment, and when the
storm Of passion has cleared away, it leaves
one to see that he has been fool, and he has
made himself fool in the eyes of others, too.
Who thinks well of an ill-natured man; who
has to be approached in the most guarded
and cautious way? Who wishes him for a
neighbor, or a partner in business ? He
keeps all about him in the same state of
mind as if they were living next to a horn
cts nest or rabid animal. And as to pros
perity in business one gets along no better
for getting angry. What if business is per-
picking, and every thing "goes by contra
ries will fit of passion make the winds
more propitious, the grounds more produc-
tive, the markets more favorable? Will a
bad temper draw customers pay notes, and
make creditors better natured ! An angry
man adds nothing to the welfare of society.
Since, then, anger is useless, needless, dis
graceful, without the least apology, and found
only in the bosom of fools, ;" why should
it be INDUCED at all

FIRE-EATNG-A correspondent in the
Wynyah Is. C.) Observer recommends the
State convention to declare by ordinance
that the flag Of the United States shall new
er be raised at any parade within the State,
under high penalties to all who commit the
offence and that the oath of obedience to
the constitution of the United States be
omitted in all oaths prescribed to be taken
by the officers of the State.
Another writer, in ridicule Of this run
mad secessionist. proposes a third ordinance
to be enacted by the same sovereign body,
to wit: that hereafter every citizen Of the
State, standing, sitting or lying down, shall
so manage, or be so considered, that ane Of
his legs at least shall be put cut Of the
Union

HENRY CLAy-The following tribute to
Henry Clay is from the last number Of the
Knickerbocker:
Passing the National Hotel at 2, o'clock
on this bright and cloudless, warm Sunday,
we saw a tall figure, clad in a blue cloak,
attended only by lady and child, enter
a coach before the door. Once seen, it was
a face never to be forgotten. 1t was Henry
Clay. That eagle-eye was not dimmed,
though the great stesman's natural force was
abated. We raised our hat, and bowed our
reverence and admiration our salutation
was gracefully returned, and the carriage
was driven away. AS we walked on, to
keep an engagement to dine, we thought o
the late words of that eminent patriot e IF
the days of my usefulness, as l have much
reason to fear, be indeed passed, desire not
to linger an impotent spectator of the Oft
scanned field of life. have never looked
upon old age, deprived of the faculty of
enjoyment, of intellectual perceptions and
energies, with any sympathy and for such
| think the day of the fate cannot arrive
too soon." One can hardly choose but
drop tear over such remark from such a
man.

Sir c. Napier put down the practice of
suttee, which, however, was rare in
Scinde, by process entirely characteristic !;
for Judging the real cause of these immola-
tions to be the profit derived by the priests,
and hearing of an intended burning, he
made it known that he would stop the sacri-
flee. The priests said it was religious
rite, which must not be meddled with-that
all nations had customs which should be re-
spected, and this was very sacred one
The General, affecting to be struck with the
argument, replied, BE it So This burn
ing of the widows is your custom prepare
the funeral pile. But my nation has also
custom When men burn women alive, we
hang them, and confiscate their property
My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets
on which to hang all concerned when the wild
ow is consumed. Let us act according to
national customs" No suttee" took place
then or afterwards.

A Frenchman residing in London recent
ly conceived an entirely new style of self-des-
tluction. He first bought an egg in the
market, extracted its contents (by suction }
and filled the shell with about three ounces
of gun powder. Then going into a very
crowded thoroughfare, we presume to give
eclat to his enterprise" touched it off "
with match. Instead, however, of blow
ing his head to atoms, the powder, when ig-
nited, merely poured forth stream of fire
and smoke from the aperture in the shell,
but without doing any serious harm to the
man. The astonishment of the passers by,
at beholdlng u hnman mouth suddenly be-
come the crater of an active Volcano may
be imagined. The disappointed man was
taken into custody by the police and con-
veyed to the hospital.

A HAPPY HoME.-The first year of mar
ried life is most Important era in the his
tory of man and wife. Generally as it is
spent SO is almost all subsequent existence.
The wife and the husband then assimilate
their views and their desires, or else conju-
ring up their dislikes, they add prejudices
and animosities forever afterward. II
II have somewhere read, " says Mr.. Wise
in his Bridal Greetings, "of a bridegroom
who gloried in his eccentricities He re-
quested his bride to accompany him into
the garden day OF two after their wedding.
He then threw line over the room of the
cottage, giving his wife one end of it, he
retreated to the other side and exclaimed !:
Pull the line.
She pulled it at his request, as far as she
could He CRIED
Pull it over.
can't, she replied
But pull with all your might, shouted the
whimsical husband
But vain were all the efforts of the bride
to pull over the line, so long as her husband
held to the opposite end. But when he
came round, and they both pulled at the
end, it came over with great ease.
There, said he, as the line fell from the
roof. you see how hard and Intellectual was
our labor when we pulled in opposition to
each other but how easy and pleasant it
was when we pulled together 1t will be
SO with us, my dear, through life If we
oppose each other it will be hard work if
we act together, it will be pleasant to live.
Let us always pull together
In this illustration, homely as it may be,
there is sound philosophy. Husband and
wife must mutually bear and concede, if
they wish to make home happy. There
needs unison of action, sweetness of spir-
it, and great forbearance and love in
both husband and wife, to secure the great
end of happiness in the domestic circle.

ANOTHER DEATH FROM CHLoRoFoRM.
The Boston journal gives a report by a
physician Of a recent case in which death
occurred under the influence of chlorotorm.
The person was Swiss sailor, who had been
confined with ship fever in the hospital
He recovered, and then an operation was
performed on his toe, which had been very
painful from frost, SO that the toe-nail had to
be removed. He had at first refused to
take the chloroform, but finding the opera
ton very painful, he asked that it might be
administered Two ounces and five drachms
were used in the whole operation, which
occupied five minutes, when the patient was
found to be dead All the usual means were
resorted to for restoring respiration. but
without effect.

C.NoERLzLA.-The origin of the tale
from ,rhsch tssis pantomime was adopted is
sufficiently curious 1t was about the year
1870 that French actor, of equal talent
and wealth, named Thevenard, in passing
through the streets of Paris, observed upon
a cobblers stall the shoe of a female, which
struck him by the remarkable smallness of
its size. After admiring it for some time,
he returned to the house but his thoughts
reverted to the shoe with such intensity,
that he reappeared at the stall the next day;
but the cobbler could give no other clew
to the owner than that it had been left, in
his absence, for the purpose of being repair
ed Day after day did Thevenard return
to his post to watch the reintegration Of
this slipper, which proceeded slowly nor
did the proprietor appear to claim it. AL
though he had completed the sixtieth year
of his age, so extTavagant became his pas
sion for the unknown fair one that he be-
came (were it possible for Frenchman at
that day to be so, melancholy and miserable.
His pain was, however, somewhat appeased
by the avatar of the little foot itself, aper-
tanning to pretty and youthful girl in the
very humblest class of life. All distinc-
tions were levelled at once by love; the
actor sought the parents of the female, pro-
cured their consent to the match, and ac'
tually made her his wife.

!" / enjoin,' says Quinctilian, that such
as are beginning the practice Of compost
ton, write slowly and with anxious delibe-
ration.-Their great object, at first, should
be to write as well as possible practice will
enable them to write speedily. By degrees,
matter will offer itself more readily, words
will be at hand, composition will flow, eve
rything, as in the arrangement of a well-or-
dered family, will present itself in its pro-
per place. The sum of the whole is this ;
that by hasty composition we shall never

MEMORY.

Soft as rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet as chimes of low bells pealing
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds at night that moan
Through the heath DER mountain lone,
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light;
As the bells when fades the even
Peals not on the night;
As the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voiced warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Der the mountains purple heath;
But the past is lost in Death
He hath no memory.

DEATH OF MISSIONARIES FROM STARvA-
TIoN.-Six English missionaries under
Captain Gardner, r. N, who were sent out
among the savages of the Straits Of Magel-
Ian, in 1850, fell, victims at Spanish Har-
Dor, last September, to starvation. A Brit
ish vessel recently went in search of them,
and found the dead bodies of two Of them,
and fragments of papers from the others, de-
failing their frightful sufferings. The last
note Of Capt Gardener was Of the 9th Of
September, at which time he had been fouI
days without food. It appears the scurvy
broke out among them in April, from which
time they began to suffer for food.

DRoMEDARY RIDING-Bayard Taylor,
in a recent letter from Southern Nubia,
published in the New York Tribu ), in
which he describes ride across the great
Nubian Desert thus speaks of the pleas
ures and peculiarities of Dromedary riding !:
81 found dromedary riding not at all diff
fcult. One sits on very lofty seat with
his feet crossed over the animals shoulders
or resting on his neck The body is oblig-
ed to rock backward and forward, on ac-
count of the long, swinging gait, and as
there is no stay or fulcrum except blunt
pommel around which the legs are crossed,
some little power of equilibrium is neces-
sary. My dromedary was strong, stately
beast, of light cream color and so even a
gait, that it would bear the Arab test that
IS, one might drink cup of coffee, while
going on full trot, without spilling drop.
found great advantage in the use of the
Turkish costume. My trowsers, which con-
tain Is yards Of muslin, though they only
reach to the knees, allow the leg perfect
freedom of motion, and | have already
learned so many different modes of crossing
those members, that no day is sufficient to
exhaust them The rising and kneeling OF
the animal is hazardous at first as his long
legs double together like carpenters rule,
and YOU are thrown backward, and then for.
| ward, and then backward again, but the
trick Of it is soon learned. The soreness
and fatigue Of which many travellers com.
plain, have not yet experienced. | ride
from eight to ten hours day, read and even
dream in the saddle, and am as fresh anc
unwearied as when | began the journey
