The Enthusiastic Man.

We do love an enthusiastic man He is
always Of the nervous bilious temperament,
which IS the base of all that is noble, i'm
pulsiVe or great IN the human character.
Very good, respectable, quiet sort of people,
we have no doubt, there are of other tenn
peraments, but we do not much care for this
sort ofpeople. They are very good in their
way, and I'LL certain stations in life very
admirably, but for companions, we can
scarcely conceive anything more tedious
We dou'i think more OF men who are
always in a good temper We would rath-
er a man would be impulslye wrong, once
IN willie, than ever be so malhematlcally
correct
We have always a suspicion that beneath
this even surface of his life there is depth
we should not care to falhom. The man Of
impulse aud enthusiasm lays his whole heart
open to you. lie almost realizes the wish
of the ancient philosopher, that he had
window ~ his breast through which men
could see all that was passing within. The
enthusiastic man is a delightful companion,
for this quality is always accompanied by
generosity. lie will yield thousand cour-
Iesies, aud has, generally, among other lac
ulues, that rare, but good one, Of being a
good listener. By this, we do not mean
that he will 81, like a lay figure, staring at

characterization. John A. Dix,
in recent lecture before the Historical
Society, made the following Just re-
marks:
Nothing can be more unwse than
the erection Of costly dwellings, which
can only be maintained by prin, ely for
tunes. At the death of the head of
family, and n division of the ancestral
property, no one of the children, as a
general rule, has enough to support the
establishment, aud it passes into other
hands. Nothing can be more cruel
than TO bring up children with expecta-
tons which cannot be fulfilled, and with
habits of life which they ire compelled
to abandon. The parent, for the sake
of few years of ostentalion, invests a
large portion Of his estate in a splendid
dwelling, with the certainty that his death
will be the signal for the expulsion of
his children from it. Nothing can be
more inconsiderate, if it is done without
reflection, or more unfeeling, if it is
done with full view of the inevitable
consequences. Look for the splendid
mansions of thirty years ago, and see
what has become Of them. Scarcely
one remains in the family by which il
was constructed. They are boarding
houses, places of public exhibition OF
the workshops Of fashion,"

CIvILITY Is A FORTUNE Cyiliy is a
fortune IN itself, for courteous man always
succeeds IN life, and that even when per
sons of ability sometimes fail The famous
Duke Of marlborough is a case ia point.
1t was said of him, by one Contemporary, that
his agreeable manners often converted an
enemy into friend; and by another, that
1t was more pleasing to be denied a favor
by his Grace, than to receive one from other
men.
The gracious manners of Charles James
Fox preserved him from personal dislike,
even at a time when he was politically the
most unpopular man in the kingdom. The
history of our own country is full of exam
Piles of success obtained by civIlity. The
experience OF every man furnishes, If he will
but recall the past, frequent instances where
conclllalory manners have made the fortunes
of physicians, lawyers, dlvines, politicians,
merchants, and, indeed, individuals OF all
pursuits. In being INTRODUCED to a stran-
ger, his affabIlity, or the reverse, creates
,nstantaneously prepossession in his be-
hall, or awakens unconsciously prejudice
against him.

is to woman 1t is a general passport TO IA

The END OF PRUDENCE. The great end
ofprudence IS 10 give cheerfuiness to those
hours which splendor cannot gid, aud ac-
clamaiion cannot exhilarate, those soft IN
tervas Of udbended amusement, IN which a
man shrinks TO his natural dimensions, and
throws aside the ornaments or DISCUSSES
which he feels, IN privacy, 10 be useless in
cumbrances, and to lose all effect when
they become familiar. To be happy at
home Is the ultimate result of all ambition,
the end to which every enterprise and la
Dor tends, and Of which every desire
prompts the prosecution. 1t is indeed al
home that every man must be known by
those who would make Just estimate OF
his virtue or felicity; for smiles aud EN-
broIdery are alike occasional and the mind
is often dressed for show in painted honor
aud fictitious beneyolence.

CONSOLATION TO ILL-LooKINe DAMsELs
Most ladies think It to be the summit Of
misfortune to be ugly, This is ms
take-quite frequently. The chances are,
as the world goes, that homely women are
altogether the best at heart head and soul.
A pretty face often presdes over false
heart aud weak head, aud with the small
est shadow of soul. Beauty, Says Lord
kames, " is a dangerous property, tending
to corrupt the mind Of the wife, though II
soon loses its influence over the husband
A figure agreeable and engaging, which in
spires affection without the ebuety of
love, is much safer choice The graces
lose their influence, like beauty. AT the
end Of thirty years, ylrtuous women
who makes an agreeable companion,
charms her husband more than al FIRST
The comparison Of love to fire holds good
IN one respect, that the hercer II burns, the
sooner II is extlngulshed.

found If they had been thrown from Frank

be transmitted 10 the foreign office.
