The Chinese language i esteemed IL

The Chinese language is esteemed the
most singular on the face OF the globe
Almost every syllable constitutes word,
and there are scarcely one thousand five
hundred distinct sounds; vet in the wril>
ten language there are at least eighty
thousand characters, or different forms OF
letters, so that every sound may have
about fifty senses. The leading charac-
ters are denominated keys, which are not
of difficult acquisition. The language
seems originally to have been hierog ~
phical but afterwards the sound alone
was considered. Abstract terms are ex-
pressed as usual by relative ideas; thus
virtue, which in Latin implies strength
among the Chinese signifies hlial plety
the early prevalence Of knowledge in
China excluding mere strength from any
mertorious claim.

To RESTORE Frozen PLANTS TO LIFE. -
If, ladies, your plants should by ony mishap,
chance to get touched with frost, don't get
in a passion, hot enough TO Ihaw them; il
you do you will kill them, and that is not all
that is killed by passion either, in many a
family. Order a tub of water deep enough
to mmerse the whole plant bring the pots
out Of the cold, one at the time, and put them
in the water about FIVE minutes. Take them
out and drain off the water and dry them in
Il dark room, and keep the temperature at so
OR 60 degrees for few days, and your sick
plants will recover.

Cheer Up.

Never so gloomily, man with mind,
Hope is better companion than fear:
Providence, ever benignant and kind,
Gives with smile what you take with a
tear,
All will be right,
Look to the light
Morning was ever the daughter of night,
All that was black will be all that is bright;
Cheerily, then cheer up.
Many foe is friend>in disguise,
Many a trouble blessing most true
Helping the heart to be happy and wise,
With hopes ever precious and joys ever
new
Stand in the van,
Strive like a man;
This is the bravest and cleverest plan
Trusting in God while you do what you can,
Cheerily, then cheer up.

We have not had a quarrel, says the Boston

long since, well dressed Stranger of rather
formidable proportions, in dispensing his sail
vary favors, sent brown colored rivulet over
our glazed boot. We called his attention to it,
He turned away with careless laugh that it
was an accident.
We requested him to wipe the boot. He
looked at us with an ncredulous stare, and
shook his head; whereupon we quietly lifted
our foot, and very carefully wiped the boot
upon his new broadcloth indspensibles. The
tobacco chewer began to roll up his sleeves
as if preparing 10 take held of US, but burst

When Anaxogoras was told Of the death Of

So we, in all casualties Of life, should say,
knew my riches were uncertain, that my

would soon pacify US, because all our trou-
