HEALTH AND SOMETHING TO Do.-That is it,
Dye grumbling, growing, discontented mortals,
who are ever seeking for happiness, in objects
which satisfy not. You only need to get rid of
yourselves to be happy; and you can do it with
health and something to do. Your disease, for
it is disease, is overplus of SELF you are bur-
thened with your own carcass. Go to work, and
throw it off.
A great brawny fellow, with dormant energies
enough within him to battle with steam en-
gine, said to us the other day, with yawn; |; :"
am devilish blue!" Just think of it A being
endowed with full tide of healthful vigorous
blood coursing through his veins, complains of
blues And why? Because the energies of his
nature, which should be battling with the world,
for want of being thus directed, are gnawing up
on himself.
All any of us need to give US happiness, earth
ly happiness, is health and something to do,
something into which we can enter with might
and MAN, The highest, happiest earthly cond-
tion of man is when, in the enjoyment of vigor-
Gus health, he performs all his duties to God,
himself, and his fellow man. 1t is then that the
eye is bright, the countenance cheerful, the step
elastic, the spirit buoyant; and it is then that
trifles which at other times vex and torment, are
brushed away without thought. Talk about
the blues to man who has something to do, and
a will to do it He laughs at you; he laughs at
the blues. They dare not show theishideous ia
ces to him.
And there is enough for us all to do. Indeed
most of us are doing something for good or
evil. What we need to do is that for which our
powers tit us and to do it in such way as not
to destroy health in the pursuit. If he who with
health does nothing, is miserable he who with
out health still tolls on, is scarcely less SO. AS
a people we are more in danger of unhappiness
from i'll health than want of employment We
induce disease by over-anxiety, and over.exer-
tion, and inattention to laws that govern our ma
ture. In this we are not wise; for if we destroy
our health in the pursuit of wealth or knowl.
edge, we labor for that which will be useless in
our hands, We throw away the power of en-.
joyng in the labor Of getting. He that sinks
his vessel by over loading it, though it be with
gold and silver, and precious stones, is not wise
man.
Reader, remember-and we charge nothing
for the receipe-the secret of happiness lies ir
health and something to do.

IMPORTANCE OF NEwsPAPERs-We found a
paragraph yesterday, in the Racine Advocate,
which expresses truth that has occurred to but
few. We copy it:
"Close every daily newspaper office in Mil
waukee, and in six months you would see the
words to let on more than half of her stores
and dwellings,"
True Of Miwaukee-true Of Chicago--true
of every city. How many of you rich men of
Chicago-you large holders of real estate-have
thought of this! How many of you who have
begrudged your editor the paltry twelve shil-
lings, on quarter day, have realized that those
twelve shillngs are what have made you the
boasted possessor of thousands Chicago news
papers have made many men rich, while the lat
ter have been doing their utmost to break them
down. We could name instances-but shall
not. Our craft is magnanimous, with less cause
to be so, than any other body of men.

WHOLE NUMBER 7S.

ILL-VENTILATED SCHOOL RooMs-No great
er cause for sickness exists among the youth of
this country than the being confined in such
numbers in hot and close school rooms About
one half of the school teachers throughout the
country have never made the laws of health the
subject of moments thought, and the immense
injury done to the constitutions of the young of
which they are the unconscious cause, is horrible
to think Of
Particularly is this the case in the winter sea-
son, and in well built brick and stone School
houses. Into room just large enough to seat
them, it is often our lot to see drove of the lit
tie urchins crowded, the door closed upon them,
and kept closed with the utmost caution lest
stray breath of air should creep in; and here
they are kept with brief intermssion only, for
two terms day, of three hours each. In half
an hour the air in the room has been pretty
thoroughly breathed over, and has become so
impure and unwholesome, that one unaccustom-
ed to such close rooms, feels sickening sensa-
ton as he first steps into the room and breathes
it. To crown the whole, the old box stove is
sufficient extent to aid in rendering the air un-
healthy, but also to keep the scholars in state
of perspiration that will ensure them cold as
soon as they step out into the cold air.
Children attending school in old log school
houses, with the wind creeping in at all corners,
are the subjects ofa good deal ofpity among that
class ofpeople who cannot imagine how the lit
tie fellows can stay in such cold houses and not
catch their deaths of cold. Bad enough are such
school houses, and ought to be abolished but
it is not in them that the majority Of the colds,
the fevers and the consumptions originate-for
these, close and hot rooms are responsible, and
the folly of those who keep them close and hot.
Children will stand cold and grow fat on it, if
they may only breathe pure air; but close and
over heated rooms are fatal both to good breath
and good looks. So let all good looking school
mistresses have a care!

The Duty OF FATHERs.-Fathers plead as
you will, that you are full of care and labor to
support your families. Say it over and over
till you really believe it yourself, if you please,
that when you come home tired, at night, you
cannot be crazed with the catter of chidren's
tongues. You want to rest and be quiet So
you do, and so you SHOULDN'T have you any
right to be so perfectly worn out with business,
that the voice of your own child is irksome to
you? Try for once, a little pleasant, quiet, in
structive chat with him. Enter for few mo-
ments into his feelings, and pursuits, and tho'ts
for that child has feelings that need cherish
ing tenderly, for your own future comfort He
has pursuits. and you are the one to talk with
him about them, and kindly tell him which are
useful, and which he would do better to let
alone. He has thoughts, and who shall direct
the mind Alright which must think forever, if not
the author of his being? Ask of his school, his
play-mates, and see if your own spirit is not
rested and refreshed, and your heart warmed by
this little effort to win the love and confidence
and delight the heart of this young immortal,
who owes his entrance into this weary world to
you, and whom you are under the most solemn
obligations to strive to prepare to act well his
part in it. Do not say this is his mothers bu-
siness. Has the Bible laid ary command upon
mothers! Would it not seem that He who
forped her heart knew that she need not be told
to labor in season and out of season for her be-
loved offspring? But to you is the strange CON-
mand, "Fathers, provoke not your children to
wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and ad-
monition of the Lord"
Mothers, do you not reap rich reward for
curbing your own spirits, for every selfdenial,
for untiring devotion to the immortals given to
your care, with souls to be saved or lost? Oh!
neglect them not, lest conscience utter the fear
ful whisper, Mother you might have saved that
soul !" Christian Chronicle.

GOING HoME.-Once fortnight our city is
crowded with host of the sturdy and indus
trious miners on their way home to the Atlantic
States. The red shirts and wool hats are to be
seen in every street-all impatiently awaiting
the departure of the steamer which is to carry
them back to their anxious and expectant fami-
lies. But glance at miners countenance
suffices to tell how his hopes have been realized
in this country, and whether he has been well re-
warded for his labor. The one who worked as
siduously, lived economically, and has been tenn
perate and steady, who has made good wages
and carefully saved them with view of buying
n farm, or enter into a permanent business Of
some description, reveals at once in his counte-
nance the satisfaction enjoyed, and the bright
prospects he has in the future. If he is a young
man, some old neighbor's bright-eyed daughter
may have won his heart, and the thought of re-
turning and claiming her as his partner for life
cheers him in his abors, and makes him the
more anxious to leave. If he is man of fam
lily the very thought of returning to lovely
wife and children, with a well filled purse, the
fruits of honest industry,-is depicted in his
countenance, and shows itself in his every ac-
ton. How unfortunate it is that there are not
more to greet the hearts of their parents and
families, with good account of their labors and
adventures But of the thousands who arrive
here, disease and dissipation have their victims
and in no country on the earth do their ravages
tell with so great effect as in this Many ar
dent and impulsiye beings, who came here with
high hopes, and in expectation of realizing a
competence for after years, have been stricken
down by disease and rendered objects of charity,
or swallowed in the whirlpool of vice. But
there are many who have happily avoided the
Scylia and Charybis,'and who every fortnight
throng our streets, preparatory to their depar-
ture for the Atlantic States. While many are
so anxious to return, there is no small number
who do so with unaffected chagrin and regret

INTERESTING Discoveries IN PERsIA.-We
have had the pleasure of listening to letter
written in Persia to a gentleman in this city,
which gives an account of some recent and
most interesting discoveries made in that coun-
try. The writer is scientific gentleman Of the
highest standing, an American, and one whose
position in Persia is pledge of the correctness
of the details:
The line between Persia and Turkey has been
defined with that exactness which peace and Sc
curity demand; and soldiers have, by both gov
ernments, been placed upon the disputed terri
tory to defend the rights of Turkey and Persia !;
and for many years the soldiers have been in the
practice of coming into collision. To avoid
this bloodshed and settle definitely the bounda-
ry line between the nations, England and Rus
sia have induced Persia to consent to mixed
commission which should embrace England Rus.
sia and Persia. That commission is now enga-
ged in establishing line between Persia and
Turkey. Col. Williams, well known to the
Americans, and man of character and talents,
is the English commissioners.
In the prosecution of this work the commits
sioners have come upon the remains of the an
cient palace Shushan, mentioned in the sacred
books of Esther aud Daniel, together with the
tomb of Daniel, the Prophet. The locality an
swers to the received tradition of its position
and the internal evidence, arising from its cor
respondence with the description Of the palace
recorded in sacred history, amounts almost to
demonstration. The reader can turn to Esther
chap l., 9th verse, where he will read of a" pave
ment of red and blue, and white, and black mar.
bic in that palace" The parement still erists
and as described by Col. Williams, corresponds
with the description given thus in sacred histo.
ry. And in the marble columns, dilapidated
ruins, the sculpture and the remaining marks oi
greatness and glory that are scattered around
the commissioners read the exact truth Of the
record made by the sacred penman.
Not far from the palace is tomb; on it is
scul lptured the figure Of map bound hand and
foot, with huge lion in the act Of springing
upon him to devour him. No history coulC
speak more graphically the story of Daniel ir
the lions den. The commissioners have with
them an able corps of engineers and scientific
men, and most interesting discoveries may be
expected. The Persian arrow-heads are fount
upon the palace and the tomb. Glass bottles
elegant as those placed upon the toilet table o
the ladies of our day, have been discovered
with other indications of art and refinement
which bear out the statements of the bible
Thus, twenty-five hundred years after the his
their histories are verified by the peaceful
movements of the nations of our day.
