arrived at the inn, laughed heartily to see
the simple villagers flying in every direction,
while the inperturable bruin remained quiet
ly seated on his hind legs, seeming to con-

terro:s he had excited.
TO YOUNG MEN.
Make yourself indispensable to your EN-.
ployers; that is the golden path to success.
BE so industrious, so prompt, so careful, that
il you are absent one half.hour out Of the
usual time, you will be missed, and he in
whose employ you are, shall say, did not
dream George was so USEFUL" Make your
employer your friend, by performing with
mnuteness, whatever task he sets before
you, and above all be not too nice to lend a
hand at dirty work, no matter how repng.
nant to your sense of neatness it may be.
The success of your business in after years
depends upon how you deport yourself now
If you are really good for anything you are
good for great deal. BE energetic; put
your manners into your business; look as
well as act with alacriiy; appear to feel an
interest: make your masters success your
own, if you have an honest one. Let your
eye light up at his request, and your feet be
nimbe; there are some who look so dull and
heavy, and go with so slow aud lazy pace,
that it is rksome to ask them what it is your
right to demand of them; be not like these.
Be the arch upon which your employer
may rest with safety; let him feel that lie
may entrust you with uncounted gold.
If you do an errand lightly, you begin TO
loose his confidence; if you forget twice
some important request, you cannot b,
trusted. If you accustom yourself to loose
and untidy habits, you will gain no respect,
but rather contempt. Avoid theatres, card
rooms, billiard saloons, as you would pes.
lilcncc little faults are like SO many loop
holes in your character, through which all
that is valuable sits out, and all that is per.
nicuus Sits in to fill the empty places.
Do YOU say you want some pleasure!
Make your work pleasure. There are
two ways of seeing the sun rse--one with
a dull, complaining spirit, that, if it could,
would blot out the great luminary with is
wishy washy flood of eternal complaints;
the other with joyous, rk,like pleasure,
soaring out and upwards, and seeing along
the western path, gates of gold and palaces
of ivory. So there are two ways of doing
work; one that depresses the soul by its
fstless, formal, fretful participation; the
other.tGat makes.labor Il boon and bless
ing. pursues it not only for gain, but the
highest exEalaton iof the mental and moral
being.

CoMMASDaR lMGRAnAM.-The Washing

under date of the 18th inst, says:
al have Just seen Il letter from Capt
Ingraham, dated Spezzia, in Nov. He COM
plains of serious i'll health, but declined to ask
for leave Of absence. His friends i'll Con-

of the Navy have very reluctantly consented
to send out an officer to replace him, so
that Capt. |. will probably be home in Feb.

DISCOVERY OF THE SITES OF SoDoM AND
GoMoRRAn.-M. de Saulcy's recent discor-
cry is one of the most striking within the
whole range of Biblical antiquity. The dis
interment of Ninevch is, rs a matter OF feel
iug, small matter, compared with the dis
covery of Solom and Gomorrah. We do
not remember to have read anything OF a
more thrilling interest than this portion OF
NJ. de SauIcy's volumes, which have just
been laid before The public; there is some
thing so strangely awful in the idea of these
living monuments OF Divine vengeance yet
remaining, after six-and-thirty centuries, with
The actual marks Of the instrument of the
overthrow still visible upon their blasted
ruins.
Ir is said that there is Il man in William
son county Tennessee, who has so large
foot that he is compelled to pay his boot
maker for work as he does his plasterer--by
the square yard He says his dwelling
house came near being blown away by
recent storm, and indeed, would have been
but for his presence Of mind in placing his
foot upon it just in time to save it.

is, governor, the sooner we come to some
understanding, the better. You can't expect
Il young Teller to be always at home; and if
you don't like the way go on, why must

WouLp DO FOR A YASKEE.--On the af-
ernoon Of the day on which the price of
bread was raised in Aver, England, a boy
went into bakers shop and asked for a

another half penny was demanded, on the
