HAVE PATIENCE. Many good thing fails Of
being done at all says the New England Farmer,
because it cannot be done splendidly and in slap
dash fashion. The young man wants to be veal
thy, but instead of seeking his fortune in the path
of steady industry and small saving, where nineteen
fortunes out of every twenty have been gained, he
loafs away his time and squanders his loose change
while waiting for to turn up.
The young woman wants to be lady, but instead
ofstoring her mind with useful knowledge and turn
ing her hand to household labor, TIE ladi, of OIL
den time wont to do, she stutts her head with
trashy novels and folds her soft hands in ideness
as much her circumstances will possibly allow
The consequence is in all such cases, that the young
man is brought througha brief period of sloth and
sensuality out at the little end of poverys horn
and the young woman runs her round of title tatte
and vain display souring at last into disagreeable
vixen. If either had pursued modest, simple,
prudent course, their wished for destiny might
have been accomplished. But the world was not
made i'll a day, and its good things are not to be
got hold Of in minute. Let the Dick DazzIes
and Lydia LanguShes of society remember and
profit by these little facts.

RESIGNATION OF BISHOP IVES.

The following letter from Bishop Ives, who has
lately attached himself to the Catholic Church, is
addressed to the Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Diocese of North Caro-
lima:
ROME, Wednesday, Dec. %. 1852.
Dear Brethren: Some of you, at least, are aware
that tor years doubts Of the validity of my Office as
BISHOP have at times harrassed my mind and greatly
enfeebled my action. AT other times, it is true cir
cumsances have arisen to override these doubts, and
to bring TO my mind temporary relief But has been
only temporary for in spite Of resolutions to abandon
the reading and the of Catholic books; in spite
OF earnest prayers and entreaes that cd would
tect my mind against the distressing influence of
Catholic Truth and in spite of public and private
professions and declarations, which in times of sus-
pended doubt sincerely made to shield myself from
suspicion and win back the confidence of nv diocese
which bad been well nigh lost-in spite of all this
and oil many other considerations which would rise
up before me, the necessary consequence of suf
erIng my mind to be carried forward in the direction
In which my doubts pointed, these doubts would again
return with increased and almost overw helmng vgor
goadlng me at times 10 the very borders of deIange-
nent
Under these doubts, desired temporary relief from
dues mat had become so disquieting to me, and de-
termIned TO accompany Mrs. Ives, whose health de-
manded change of climate, in short absence abroad
But absence has brought relief my mind. In
deed, the doubts that disturbed it have grown into
clear and settled convictions clear and settled that
ry obligation of duty to God and His Church, can
no longer remain in my position.

himself of the advantages subject to his command,

HAPPINESS. Those who, in pursuing their vari-
Gus occupations, have gathered in their journey
through life all the happiness which it afford
have not proposed happiness as their end. They
aepired to some object more precise, more definite,
to which, had it been necessary, they would have
sacrificed happiness itself. It is thus they proceed
on their pathway through life. Not only is the
search for happiness lusory, but it retards US in
the pursuit of what is valuable.
The imposSibility of forming to ourselves clear
idea of happiness is the reason that our magma
ton substitutes pleasure in its stead
Nothing of an earthly nature, when closely con-
sldered, can fully satisfy the soul.

a good story is told of an eccentric old gentle
man, who, although occasionally addicted to the
habit of swearing, was still punctilious in regard
to saying grace at his table and this duty he never
omitted on any occasion.
The story runs that on a certain occasion, the
old gentleman invited a sea-captain, Jolly old
wNather-beaten tar ofhis acquaintance, to dine with
him. They sat down to dinner, and the old gen
tleman, according to custom, commenced saying
grace; but the captain, whose attention had been
diverted for the moment, hearing the old gentle
man speak, thought he was addressing him, and
turned to him with
"What did you say, squirrel"
"Why, d-n 1T, man, M saying grace"

Partisan fashions, especially some very radical
innovations on the present style have recently been
announced. The principal change in gentlemen's
apparel is return to the short breeches long stock
ings, buckles and other toggery of the seventeeth
century. Gentlemen's full dress coats are now
made with large sleeves at the wrist like the sleeves
of ladies' dresses, and worn with undersleeves
pulled at the wrist, like those worn by the ladies.

INTERESTING TO HOTEL KEEPERS. An Important

whose board he was to pay, and all put up at the
Marlboro Hotel on the LIST Oct, then kept by NJ S,
Proctor On the I'd Sd Nov. the trunk of the
agent was broken open and $500 of the money stolen
therefrom which he had to pay the expenses OF him
self and his witnesses. The defendant proved that
he had safe, and that his guest ought to have de-
posted his money in it, or let him know he had so
much money with him; also that the agent was not
traveller, but boarder. Judge Fletcher ruled in
substance that if the loss produced by the care
iessness of the AGENT the hotel keepers were not liza
to deposit large sums in the safe, and his not com
plying with it, would amount to such carelessness
but that unless the hotel keepers could clearly prove
such knowledge by said agent they must be held La

was accordingly rendered for the plaintiffs. This
decision settles the law in this commonwealth.

To MANAGE REARING Horse. In the British
Sportsman we find the following hint respecting the
management Of a rearing horse, which strikes US as
being worthy, as it is easy, of trial: Whenever you
perceive horses inclination 10 rear separate your
reins and prepare for him. The instant he is about
to rise, sacken hand. and bend or twist his head
with the other, keeping your hands low This bend
ing compes him to move a hind leg, and of necessi-
to brings his four feet down. Instantly twist him
completely round two three times, which will
confuse him very much, and completely throw him
off his guard. The moment you have finished twist
ing him round, place his head in the direction you
wish to proceed apply the spurs and he will not fail
60 forward.
II the situation be convenient press him into gal
lop and apply the spurs and whip two or three times
severely. The horse will not perhaps be quite sat-
ised with the first defeat, but may feel disposed to
try again for the mastery. Should this be the case
you have only to twist him, &C., before, and you
will find that in the second struggle he will be more
easily subdued than the former occasion; in fact
you will him quail under the operation. 1t rare
Iy happens that rearing horse, after having been
treated in the way described, will resort to this trick
third time.

both being n, buggy, they were told by some
boys that n deranged man, by the name of
Fisher, had stationed himself on the roaside
with gun, for the purpose of shooting the gen.
tleman who accompanied DR.. Warning He, to
avoid the man, got out of the buggy and walked
into the village by another way. DIR. Warning,
not supposing himself in danger, drove on, and,
when he reached the spot at which the man was
stationed, he told him not to shoot, that he was
his friend, but the wretch fred upon him, and
all the shot took effect on his head and side
He lived but few hours and died amid the re-
grets and lamentations of kindred friends and
neighbors.
We knew DR.. Warning well. A better and
purer man never lived Affectonate to his
friends, kind to the poor, and polite to all de-
gress of men, he WIS universally beloved in his
