The Man Retired from Business.

Almost every man sets ont in life with the
determination, when a certain sum has accu-
mulated, TO retire from the cares Of business,
and enjoy the balance Of his days 'otium cum
dgnitate." Visions of sunny farms and rural
retreats are ever before him, but, unfortunate
ly, few men have the courage, when the re-
qured sum has been obtained, to be content
and retire. In the course of years, new tastes
have been acquired, and new wants added 10
the humble catalogue with which he com
menced life. The rural retreat has become
suburban residence, with coach houses, stables,
&C., and few Thousand more have become
necessary. So, he goes toiling on, his ambi-
tion widening and extending as he pushes and
urges his way on to competence and fortune-
During all this time he forgets that he is grow
ing older that his capacity for enjoyment is
getting more contracted every day--that his
tastes and habits are becoming confirmed in
business life, so that when he does muster u?
the 6rmness TO yield his place in the business
world to younger men, he is about as unhappy
a mortal as one could meet on summers day
Il is related Of tallow chandler Of London,
who had accumulated fortune and retired to
his villa, that time hung SO heavy upon his
hands that he used TO have melting day once
a week and make his own candles for amuse-
ment. He had probably neglected through his
life to lay in store of knowledge, to cultivate
a taste for reading, or otherwise prepare his
mind as well as his pocket for the purpose Of
life of leisure. His great object had been TO
make enough TO retire on, without caring to
provide something TO retire with.
The man alone can hope TO enjoy pleasant
leisure in the evening Of his days, who has in
tellectuai means of enjoyment always at CON-
mand. He must, or should be satisfied with
comfortable independence, and leave the cares
of business in the meridian Of life-if he can
before he becomes SO thoroughly habiluated 10
a certain routine, TO deviate from which, or to
leave, instead of comfort or happiness, would
only make him miserable and discontented.

Good Tools for the Bows.

The editor Of the Portland Pleasure Boat
gives the public some excellent practical ad-
vice. In an article ia which he furnishes some
hints in regard 10 making agriculture cheerful
and agreeable occupation, he closes the sub
ject thus:
Farmers, furnish your young boys with
light, neat and good tools, and teach them how
to keep them in good order, if you would have
them love agriculture, and give them little
lot for their own use.
If YOU wish TO discourage them, and drive
them off TO the city, to sea, or to California,
give them rusty hoes, broken shoVels, dull
scythes, &c., to work with, and not allow
them 10 plant seed or tree for themselves.
Every bow on farm should be allowed lot
on which to make miniature farm. He may
have row of corn, row of potatoes, patch
Of wheat, oats, beans, grass, and if you keep
animals give him calf, colt, or lamb to
raise. o.
With the products Of his little farm he can
supply himself with books, clothes, &C.. SO
that you will be gamers by being liberal, and
will encourage industry and beget love for
agriculture in your sons, which will in future
years lead them on 10 perfection in the art,
and place them among the highest Of natures
noblemen.

Health in Hot Weather.

Few things are easier than to lose ones
health in hot weather. Yet nothing is so easy
as to maintain it if the right course is followed.
1t is not necessary to invent new panaceas or
to suggest novel modes of life, in order to
keep disease at arms length in July and Aug
ust. The whole secret consists in adopting
the advice so often given by physicians, to
avoid excess. And by this is meant not mere
ly excess in drinking, but also excess in eat
ing, In exercising, and in all things. Every
man of sense knows how faIlacious is the idea
that pouring down heating cherry cobblers,
and other pernicious drinks, will cool ones
person But not every man is willing to ad-
init that gorging himself with turtle soup,
lobster, or other delicacies that overtask the
digestive organs are dangerous to health still
more. Many, who will concede that exces-
slve indulgence at table is injurious, would
stare If told that their absorbing devotion to
business is liable TO PROSTATE them, at any mo
ment, victims to the disorders of the season.
Yet anything which weakens the vital powers,
leaves the body comparatively defenceless
against the assaults of sickness. To exhaust
in this way, and especially in summer, ones
capacity to resist disease, is to act like a gen.
eral, who, the approach Of an enemy, should
weary out his armyin useless evolutions, SO
that, when the battle came to be Joined, his
soldiers would be too fatigued to fight.
icf Al
health may generally be preserved by avoid
ing excess. Had the seventy who died of
sudden death in New York and Philadelphia,
within the last fortnight, abstained from work
ing so much in the sun, from drinking intoxi-
eating liquors, or from swallowing large guam
titles Of cold water, they might have been liv-
ing to this day. But it is not alone those who
remain in this town, we should remember,
who should avoid excess. The too common
idea, that at a watering place one can eat,
drink and exercise without limit, has killed
many foolish victim. To fish all day, un-
der broiling sun, may not injure persons ac-
customed to such exposure, but it can do no
good at least, to people used to city life;
and when the fishing is accompanied by copi-
GUS draughts of brandy, or other inflammaitory
drink, as is often the case, it is pretty sure to
do harm. So to sit up to late terrapin sup
pers or to drink juleps all the morning, OF to
commit other excesses quite ordinary at water
ing places, is not the road to health. And if
one sex should avoid excess in one way, the
other should in another Ladies who dance
all night, cannot expect to return to town with
roses on their cheeks. In word, people of
proper habits, can defy even the sultriest
weather. But persons guilty of excesses, no
matter of what description, dismantle the for
tress of health, and, as it were, invite the en-
envy to enter.-Phild. Ledger.

Depraved State Of Society in Australia

correspondent Of the Newark Daily ad-
vertiser writes as follows from Melbourne -
T" This is not the place it is represented 10
be. The climate is very unhealthy. the
weather being very changeable. Society is
very low, and it is impossible for any person
to venture out Of doors after dark, unless with
party Of three or four, on account of the
great number Of English convicts from Van
Dieman's Land, who infest the place. They
number about two hundred, and meeting YOU
in the street, they present a pistol to your
breast, order you to hold your hands up over
your head and rob you. This is what they
call sticking yOu.' A gentleman boarding in
the same house with me, about four O'Clock
the other afternoon was robbed of eighteen
pounds, and then tied to tree, where he re-
malned until assistance was given him. This
practice extends to the diggings. If bush
man, who is generally mounted, perceives
man coming along the road with better horse
than his, compels him to disnount and ex-
change horses, and in case of noncompliance,
ne makes nothing of shooting him.
In going to Forest Creek, Campbell's Creek,
Bendigo and Golden diggings, you pass
through what is called Black Forest, dense
and thick wood, about twelve miles in length.
The other day, while four of us were passing
through this forest, we found thirty-five who
had been stuck up, and one poor fellow, who
unfortunately had but thirteen shillings and
slxpence, was tied to tree and his body filled
with shot, which they had fired at him, sup
pose, because he had no more. He was re-
leased short time after, and is now in a fair
way of recovery. The much-boasted-of po-
lice will often turn away and make no attempt
to stop such occurrences.
The diggings present to the eye one of the
strangest scenes imaginable. Hill and hol-
low, gully and stream, seem as if there had
been mighty convulsiOn of the earth which
had turned everything upside down, and this
for full thirty miles. There are great num-
Der of holes which are from to 80 feet deep,
and for long way the ground is undermined.
You think you have found solid plot of
ground, and after you have dug or 10 feet,
the chances are that the whole fabric will
give way, and drop into some undermined
way"

The Pedlar's Bargain.

One day a tin pedlar, with an assortment of
knick knacks, arriving at village in Maine,
called at one of the houses to sell his wares
After disposing of few articles to the lady Of
the house who seemed to live in the midst of
children she declared her inability to buy any
more for want of money
But marin, amt you any ragst'
None to sell, sir
Well, said he, you seem to have plenty
of children Will you sell me one for tin
ware!'
What will you give, sir
Ten dollars for one of them'
In good tin ware!'
She then handed one of the urchins to the
pedlar, who surprised that the offer was ac-
cepted, yet convinced that the mother would
not part with her boy, placed him in the cart
and supplied the woman with tins till the sum
of ten dollars was made up.
The man felt certain that the woman would
rather raise the money than part with the
child, seated himself by the side Of the boy,
who was very much pleased with having a
ride The pedlar kept his eye on the house
expecting to see the woman hasten out to re-
deem the little one; he rode off at slow pace.
After proceeding short distance, he began to
repent of his bargain, and turned back.
The woman had just finished ornamenting
her dresser with tin ware, when the pedlar
returned.
well, | think the boy is too small; guess
you had better take him back again, and let
me have the ware
mo, sir; the bargain was fair, and you
shall keep it. You may start off as soon as
you please
Surprised at this, he said
sWhy, marm, you don't think of parting
with your boy SO young to an utter strangerp =
90, sir, we would like to Sell our paupers
at ten dollars head
The boy was dropped at the door-the whip
cracked--the tin pedlar measured the ground
rapidly, and he never after forgot his pauper
speculation.
