How many young men in our land
are wishing and signing to be great,
who nevertheless will pass away buried
in obscurily ! And The reason is sim
pie one, and soon told. They lacked
perseverance. There are two princi-
pies, which if we possess we may sue
coed in any undertaking. They are
industry and perseverance. DO you
live secluded from the world, and wish
10 rise in'iis estimation, and command
IFS admiraiion-set your brain 10 study
ing and rejecting and you may scatter
your influence over the world. But YOU
must persist.
Learning, honor, riches are yours If
you will get TO work in earnest, and
never suffer your steps 10 flag. Drop
by drop the ocean may be drained I;
grain by grain the mountain can be lev
eled: so little knowledge acquired
every day soon swclls TO vast amount.
The difficulty is not so great by far rs
you may imagine. What others can
do, why may not you3 The trouble is
you see the knowledge others possess
and wish 10 get all nt once. You can
not'do this, and therefore you are dis
couraged. You forget that the road TO
wisdom is up hill Who are there tray-
eled it step by step, and If yeu get there
you must do il in the same manner
There nre ihorns in the way which will
tax your patience, but every one you
pass makes the next seem less frightful
and difficult. Then do not 60 with head
bowed down, murmuring and complain
ing about poverty, your circumstances,
or--you don't know what. But il you
have any energy aud perseverance, the
brightest jewel, you will surmount the
last obstacle. Constant effort riH sue
coed. How many are toiline, sweating,
bleeding for gold, who, If they had the
same exeriion to obtain knowledge,
might sit with Franklin.

How rsbla arr made MEDIUMS.

Ia the family of friend OF ours,
several attempts have been made TO di-
vine the secret cf iable-mo,ing, chair
dancing, aud other freaks Of household
furniture. which form part Of the spirit
rapping exhibitions. Last evening they
succeeded perfectly. Standing around
a small table. Ave or six members ~ the
family kept their hands upon Il, surface
for considerable time, until the mag
nctic currcn, between themselves and
the table was established.
They then found that by holding the
hand short distance from the table,
attraction remained in full force. The
table, wiihou, being touched, Was TINS
lifted, or made TO lean over at an angle
Of foriy.ase degrees. and subsequently
followed the operators to some distance.
The table on which these young peo-
pie experimental was very small one.
We presume that when the experiment
has been few times repeated, the table
will yield TO the attractive force with
more ready and wonderful agility
There can be little doubt that it is
magnetized, aud il so, each trial. We
believe, will increase the power of at
traction. This, we take il, solves the
whole mystery Of the spiritual" impo-
siiion which has been pracliscd so long
upon the credulous and superslitious.
The moving Of tables by an unseen
power has always been accounted
greater feat than the producing Of sound.
We have no doubt that the same agent
can produce both effects. The impos-
lure consists in the pretence to super
natural intercommunicaiions. We hope
soon TO hear that, the key being discov-
cred. the whole imposition has come to
an end. OF the boldncss of the inpos-
ture we have had and have given illus
iraiions; and probably the rappers will
find some dupes even in spite of evi-
dcncc of their fraud n. Y. Com.

DEATn OF A PRACrICAL JOKER
The death, by hanging, Of young Mr.
Whiilock, Mt Albany, is thus narrated
in the papers On the day of his death
he was cheerful as usual, ate heartily,
told the servant girl to wake him in the
afternoon. As he was going up stairs,
he turned and told the girl that it was
his intention TO frighten her and the
companion who slept with her before his
mother returned home. She begged
him not TO, for the other girl was very
nervous, and might 90 into commissions.
He laughed and passed on. lie and
his father were the only members of the
family nj home. At the appointed time
the servant went up stairs TO awaken
him, and found his body hanging. In
the third story Of the house. is u staple
in the wall, in which is affixed clothes
line which, when not Ia use, is allowed
TO fall behind a bureau. Directly under
this is mahogany chair, with one Of
its legs broken There was no doubt in
the minds Of the coroner and jury, that
Robert saw this line as he went up airs.
and to frighten the girl, about the time
that she was 10 awaken him, he stood
on the chair. with the moose about his
neck. in such a position that IL might an
pear he was about to hang himself
The broken chair canted, and the fatal
termination came. That he made des-
perate efforts to extricaie himself, is
evident from the marks u his hands On
the bureau. and Of his fingers On his
neck.

plants in the known world are peculiar
90, or Ia other words, are found only in
this island continent. n their utility
only equalled their variety, the island
would, indeed be a paradise.
But with all this variety Of ,egeta-
ton, the native animals are few in num-
Der, and like everything else on the is
land, they presen, their anomalies and
peculiariiies. Nearly all the birds are
songless some OF them utter discordant
cries, but the wood. ARE not vocal with
melody, like those OF America. The
birds generally possess beautiful plu-
mage. which, however, poorly compen-
safes the absence Of a melodious voice.
There are no beasts Of prey on the is
land which are formidable to man. The
native dog is very troublesome TO the
shepherds, who are obliged to watch
their aocks Mt night, to preserve them
from the inroads OF these animals. OF
the kangaroo, there are several species,
some of which have the size and propor-
tions of large calf. The ornithoryn-
chus. another native of Australia, is
perhaps the most singular animal in the
world. II has the body aud habits of
mole, the feet and bill Of duck, and
the internal formation Of reptile tho
il is not cold-hlooded. They burrow in
the mud of rivers and swamps. Among
the other animals is one also peculiar to
the island. called the wambai, which is
about the size of u badger, and the flesh
OF which is said to be very tender, and
excellent for food Animals similar in
appearance and habits to our porcupine,
rabbits, muskrais, and mice exist, but
they are Of different species from those
of America.
But if the animals of Australia are
not formidable to man, he has neverhe-
less cause for watcbfulness when in the
bush. The reptiles are abundant, and
some of them exceedingly venomous.--
Lizards and snakes are found every
where. The land lizard or guiana, and
the crimson-sided snake, are of great
beauty, but their bite is deadly. The
black snake, the whip snake and the
deaf adder, all poisonous, are often
found, and it is sometimes dangerous to
frequent on foot the places where they
abound as it is not easy to distinguish
them when curled up amid the tufts of
grass. Land leeches or blood.suckers
are very common, and are much dread.
ed on account of their bite, as the wound
always ulcerates, and is very painful.
These little drawbacks the enthusiastic
gold-seekcr can Offset against some Of
tho natural advantages of the island MS
a place Of temporary or ornament resi-
dencc.
We have cndeavored in this article
to give our readers general idea OF the
physical features, the climate and nat
ural productions of an island which is
beginning TO attract large share Of
public attention. We shall resume our
remarks upon Australia in a day or two,
giving some account of the discovery,
settlement, and government of the coun-
try, and the character of the people.
