A CHEERFUL HHART.-I once heard a
young lady say to an individual, " Your
countenance to me is like the rising sun,
for it always glsddens me with cheer
full look"
A merry or cheerful countenance is
one of the things Jeremy Taylor said his
enemies and prosecutors could not take
away from him. There are some persons
who spend their lives in this world as
they would spend their lives if shut up in
. dungeon. Everything is made gloomy
and forbidding. They 60 mourning and
complaining from day to day, they have
so little, and are constantly anxious lest
what they have should escape out of their
hands. They always look upon the dark
side, and can never enjoy the good. That
is not religion. Religion makes the heart
cheerful, and when its large and beneyo-
lent principles are exercised, man will be
happy in spite of himself
The Industrious bee does not ston tn
complain that there are so many poison
Gus flowers and thorny branches on its
road, but buzzes on, selecting his honey,
where he can find it, and passing quietly
by the places where it is not. There is
enough in this world to complain about
and find fault with, if men have the dis
position.
We may travel on hard and uneven
road, but with 3 cheerful spirit, and
heart to praise God for all his mercies,
we may walk therein with comfort, and
come to the end Of our journey with
psacs.-Dswey.

HOrTBNTor WIvBs.-HottentOt females
are at once the LATEST and most ill-used
of woman. The priest, when he marries
them, blesses them saying" May you
live happy, and year-a-year bear q son,
who may live to be good hunter and a
warrior" 1t is needless to say that this
wish is not always gratified. So long as
her husband exists, the HOttentot woman
is the slave and drudge of the hut, and on
her devolves the task of providing for the
sustenance of the family, while the hus.
band eats, drinks, smokes and sleeps.
When the Hottentot wife becomes a
widow, she must continue so for life,
unless she chooses to purchase husband
at price which according to our notions,
is something more than delights of wife
in Hottentot matrimony would warrant.
The Hottentot son, on coming Of age,
is presented with q cudgel, with which
he is commanded to beat his mother, and
this request is very dutifully complied
with by the son, in order to manifest bis
strength and ability, just as some youths
are prone to svince their manhood by
smoking cigars and swearing profanely.
1t is strange that the mother, though
often fainting under the cruel beatings of
the son whom she has nursed at her
bosom, does not reproach him, but ad-
mires his manliness and dexterity in pro-
portion to the chastisement.

FANNY FERN AFTER THE WoMEN.-Fanny
was musing on Sunday after the following style,
which she has been candid enough to talk about.
She's funny boy.
have been reading the Bible to-day, and it
strikes me that foremothers were not very cor
rect old ladies. Who flrted with the old SER
pent! How come SIMPSONS hair cut off and his
peppers extinguished! Who perforated JaePs
head with tenpenny nails? How came Jonah
sent on whaling voyage? Who helped An
nanias tell fbs? Who put Job up to swearing !
Who danced John the Babtists head off his
shoulders, hey! I'd like to have you notice
CHATS ally what a stock we all sprung from.

A TOUCHING EPIsoDE.-Our contemporary of
the Sandusky Register pulls the spigot from
full heart in the following touching paragraph:
Saturday afternoon little child, seemingly
astray, became tired, and sitting down upon
step, began to weep. Just then an old woman,
the image of decrepitude, came along, and wit
Messing the child's grief, stopped to soothe it,
and clasped the little one to her breast. 1t was
a sweet picture-just another finale for " Dream
Life"-the rose bud of Spring upon the bosom
of Winter! How many dreams fit before us
as we recall the scene! The whole panorama
of Life, from the weeping child to the coy maid
en- to the matron-from the matron to the wea-
ry step and gray hairs Of the three score of
years-sweeps before our thought and leaves
the heart better for the recall. The lesson is
one of earthly hope, trust and love, and after
earth the hope and trust and love which is so
deathless and pure. If we would but pause in
our every day life-would turn aside for asso-
Citations with quiet thought, many lesson cold
we CLEAN from the beautiful around us, and life
with these occasional glimpses of Heaven,
would not be so weary and so apparently fruit
less

The DESTRUCTION OF PoMPEn-Pompeiiw was
not completely destroyed by single eruption.
Eight successive layers traced above its ruins.
In the intervals, the inhabitants must have re-
turned to secure their most valuable property.
Sir William Cell mentions that the skeleton
of Pompeiian was found, "who apparently for
the sake of sixty coins, a small plate and a sauce
pan of silver, had remained in his house, until
the street is already half filled with volcanic mat
ter" The position of the skeleton indicated
that he had perished, apparently in the act of es-
Gaping from the window.
Other instances Of like character are no less
striking. The skeletons of Roman sentries
were found in more than one instance, ct their
posts, furnishing a remarkable proof of the stern
military discipline of ofimperial Rome. The skel-
eton of priest was found in one Of the rooms
of the Temple of Isis. Near him lay an axe,
with which he had been trying to break through
the door. Passmore Edwards

MULcHING.--If this was not done when the
trees were planted out no time should now in
tervene before it is done, Coarse manure,
muck, leaves, chip manure, straw, anything that
will answer the purpose. Spread from two to
four inches thick, as far as the roots extend.
and our word forit, with this precaution, no
tree will die which has been properly set out.
So much Importance do we attach to this simble
operation, that we could be almost imperious
in urging its universal adoption and practice.
June is the trying month for newly transplant
ed trees, and this matter should not be delayed
beyond the first week.

ADVICE TO YoUNG MEN.-Let the business of
every one alone, and attend to your own. Don't
buy what you don't want. Use every hour to
advantage and study to make even leisure hours
useful. Think twice before you spend shil-
ling-remember you have another to make for
it. Buy low, sell fair, and take care of the prof.
its. Book regularly, and if you find an error
trace it out. Should a stroke of misfortune
come upon you in trade, work harder but never
fly the track. Confront difficulties with ubflinch-
ing perseverance, and they will disappear at
last though you should fail in the struggle,
you will be honored but shrink and you will
be despised

WHOLE NUMBER 1Ol.


account Of the present doings at the Falls, we
find in the New York Tribune:
The building Of the Great Western Railroad
from Detroit across Canada, and the railroad
from Rochester, have now given start to every
thing at the Falls, and the place must hence
forth rapidly advance in numbers of people and
in industrial production. The preseut suspen-
sion bridge being strong enough only to carry
over ordinary carriages, a new one is to be built
for the use of the trains. This bridge is to be
% feet in width having single railroad track,
with footpath on each side. 1t will hang di-
recty over the present one, 20 feet higher in
the air. When it is completed the frontier line
will be abolished so far as the railroads are con-
cerned and passengers may be landed opposite
Detroit from the cars in which they take their
seats at Albany, having crossed the furious Nj
agara upon wires, $50 feet above its bed.
Another great work now going on in that vi
cinity, is the cutting of railroad track from
just below the Falls to Lewiston, in the gorge
Of the river itself. For the greater part of the
way it is cut in the hard limestone, and when it
is completed, the cars will roll along to their
destination, with the precipitous rock rising on
one hand, and the whirling, foaming abyss Of
the river, at the foot of second precipice, on
the other. The entire descent to be accomplish
ed in three hundred and twelve feet giving a
grade of about eighty feet to the mile.
The shanties and laborers line the bank, and
the constant clnk of drills, the sound of blast
ing and the crash of exploded rocks as they
fall through the trees of the gorge and plunge
into the depths below, daily invade the majesty
of nature with the advance of power to which
even Niagara and its precpces must become
subservient, the power of industry. In few
months the shrek of the locomotive will re-
sound in the chasm, and long trains of cars will
move in safety up and down its side.
Another admirable enterprise DOW executing,
is hydraulic canal and basn intended to fur
pish water power at some distance below the
village, and mile, perhaps, from the cataract
itself. There will be no limit to the power
which can be furnished in this manner, and a
great manufacturing centre must grow up there,
sufficiently remote from the Falls to leave their
submty unaffected by mills and other works
of mere prosaic utity-a consideration of great
weight in many minds.
We are sorry to say that Goat Island is not
as well cared for as it should be. 1t ought to
be kept more beautifully than any garden, for
nature has made the most enchanting of places.
Instead of this it is quite neglected There are
no good paths beneath the majestic trees
tangled underground, or decayng trunks arrest
the steps of the Wanderers and nowhere is there
bed Of flowers or any other evidence that the
hand of man cherishes the spot and loves to
heighten and adorn its beauty. The visitors
who resort to it must pay considerable income
to its proprietors for the privilege of crossing
the BRIDGE and we submit that the latter ought
to beautify it as it deserves.

g A LESSON IN ITSELF SUBLIME"

A lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth ershrining,
Is this" take no heed of time.
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto words dial bore,
And wisdom never teaches
To human heart better lore
Than this short sentence teaches.
AS life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes bright and lonely,
Let us forget all pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
There is no grove on earths broad chart,
But has some bird to cheer it;
So hope sings on in every heart,
Although we may not hear it;
And if to-day the heavy wing
OF sorrow is expressing,
Perchance to. .morrow's sun will bring
The weary heart blessing
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Then let's forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
we Dlu tHc JOY IHOllclIo uuotV,
And then forget their bitter
We take the cup of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we would teach our hearts to deem
The sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
To linger round us longest.
AS life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let us forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
The darkest shadows of the night
Are just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
And boding phantoms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
OF Times fast river,
Let's pluck the blossom by its side,
And bless its gracious Giver.
AS life is sometimes bright and fair
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.

The human heart is like milestone in mill !;
when you put wheat under it, it turns, and
grinds, and bruises the wheat into flour: you
put no wheat in it still grinds on but then it
is itself it grinds and slowly wears away.
