SELECT. VARIETY.


PoLrTENEss, that cementer of friendship and
soother OF enrnies is no where SO much required
and so frequently outraged, as in familiar circles:
lnnear and dear connections it is continually aban-
doned, and the result is, that all the illusions of
life are destroyed, and with them, most of its hap
piness. 80 There are may who waste and
lose affection by careless and often unconscious
neglect. 1t is not plant to grow untended. The
breath of Indifference, or rude touch. may des-
troy forever its delicate texture. a.. s.-e-..,t
There daily attention to the slight courtesies
OF life, which can alone preserve the freshness of
love. The easy surprises of pleasure, earnest
cheerfulness of assent to slight 1otshes the habtu-
al respect to opinions, the polite abstinence from
personal topics, in the company of others, unwa-
vering attention to his or her comfort both at home
or abroad; and above all, the careful preservation
of those properties of conversation and mqnner,
which are sacred when bofore the world, are some
of the secrets which age and habit alike fail to i'm
pair or diminish.

GFNobody abuses small talk unless he be

change of life; there is no getting without it,
There are times whei: "'ts folly to be wise;''-
when little nonsense is very palatable, and when
gravity and sedateness ought to be kicked down
stains. philosopher cuts poor figure in a ball
room, unless he leave his wisdom ut home. Meta
physics is intrusive in the midst OF agreeable pratt
tiers, as deaths head on n festal board. We
have met with men who were too lofty for small
talk. They would never condescend TO play with
ribbon, or flrt a fan. They were above such
triaing; or in other words, they were above ma
king themselves agreeable, above pleasing, and
above being pleased. They were all wisdom, all
gravity, and all tedousness, which they bestowed
upon company with more thnn Dogberry's generosi-

a few mornings since, just ms the cars had
started from the depot, gentleman. his wife
and daughter, were observed distance IN he
street running with great speed towards ,he
depot. One of the agents of the railroad or
some person, also observing The effort OF the
party, started after the train and succeeded IN
giving the engineer sign 10 stop for passen-
gers. As it was the accommodation line, tho
train was stopped some distance on the road,
and awaited the approach of the man, his wife
and daughter. They were all pretty much ex-
hausied by the long and hard run they had,
bnt they reached the location of the train, and
oy new effort climbed small pile or plank
close at hand and stood looking at the cars and
commenced remarking upon the appearance of
the vehicles.

of blow and grnnt, and said, addressing his
wife: We'll, don't think they look 80 yerv

Land Office Report.

The report Of The Commissioners Of the
General Land Office is document of a
good deal Of interest. and likely 10 give the
reader large idea ofscope of the duties and
labors that pertain to that Office.
BY it, il appears that within The past year
there were surveyed 9,522,953 acres, and
S,O32, ,463 advertised for sale. The total of
lands sold, located with County land war
rants, and with other certificates, 1870 ,C67
Adding 10 these some five millions reported
under the swamp land grant, and over three
millions for internal improvements, Rail
roads, &c., we have the aggregate 13, l5,.
l75, being an increase on the sales, &C., of
the preceding year, OF 559, ,220 acres.
The operations under The direction of this
Office, il seems, are about to furnish some
considerable contributions 10 the scientific
literature ofthe country. The report Of Dr.
d. d. OWEN on the geology of Wisconsin,,
Iowa, Minnesota, aud The Bad Lands Of
Nebraska, IS now being printed. II will
constitute quarlo Of about $50 pages, with
a separate volume Of maps. The final Re.

the Geology of the Lake Superior land dis
lrict, will be communicated during the ses-
sion Of Congress.

reversed Isee you poor, while | am blessed
with affluence' The by-standers had snatched
the bond from the flames; the gentleman, SEN
sibly affected by such generosity, pressed his
Chinese friend 10 take the security, which he
did and then effectually destroyed it. The
disciple Of Confucius, behOlding the increased
distress it occasioned, said, he would accept
his watch, or any little valuable, as memori-
al Of their friendship The gentleman im-
mediately presented his watch, and Chinqua,
in return, gave him an old iron seal, saying,
Take this seal-it is one / have long used,
and possesses no intrinsic value, but as you
are going 10 India 10 look after your outstand-
ing concerns, should foriaue further persecute
you, draw upon me for any further sum of
money you may stand in need of, sign it with
your own hand, and seal it with this signet,
and will pay the money!
How little did the English merchant imae-
Inc that the seed of kindness, sown in the heart
of his Chinese friend, wonld spring up and
yield such an abundant increase. relate this
anecdote to my younger friends, that they may
see how kind action done to-day may be
gratefully acknowledged and literally recon-
pensed on some distant morrow. Say what
we will, one to-day is worth more than doz-
en- to-morrows.
