Success in Life---G God and Bad LUCY.

No man can succeed in business of any
description unless he possesses certain quail
ifcations. First, he must have a clear
brain to enable him to originate and to Law
out his plans, then he must have energy,
ambition, industry, and perseverance, to
push forward these plans to a successful
result Now the moment a man begins to
tipple, his brain becomes muddled and
cloudy, and his energies become paralized,
his ambition enervated, and a spirit of las
sltude settles upon him. He gets careless
slothful, indolent--he puts off till tomorrow
that which he ought to have done week
ago, and he wishes that some friend would
knock him into the middle of next week, !"
so as TO tumble him over and beyond a
note which becomes due the first part of the
week. His business gets slip shod-he
gets slip shod-he becomes a poor ruined
sot, and then he begins to curse his lack. :"
There" says he, sis jim Jones who
started in life at the same time did, his
prospects in life were no better that mine,
yet everything he touches seems to turn to
gold, while everything that | can get hold
of becomes dust and ashesl It's astonish-
ing what difference there is in luck"
Ny dear friend the difference is, that Jim
Jones is SO lucky" as to drink water
while you are so ''unlucky' as to drink
whiskey. This is the whole secret. There
is never an effect without a cause-and
strictly speaking there is no such thing as
lick. "-Bar7aum

SILVER ORE.-The Lake Superior Jour
nal In noticing the statement which is 60
ing the rounds of the papers, made by Tru
man Smith, relative to the existence of Sill
yer in the copper ore of four different mines
on Lake Superior, says:
We learn that a specimen from the Nor
wich Mine, in the Ontonagon District, has
recently been assayed with similar results,
and we have no doubt but that this silver
ore will be found in more or less abundance
in connection with the rich copper veins
throughout the country 1t would appear
that ike the ores of copper, this silver ore
EXISTS in this region in great abundance,
and, like the copper, the silver has been
produced by that last great process in Ma
lures grand smelling works, by which the
ore is refined into the pure unalloycd met
al. This ore has been thus smelted only
in small quantities, small specimens being
found at nearly all the mines, but not in
masses like the copper as yet; while the
copper ores generally have been reduced to
metal on the South shore of Lake Superior.
On the North shore of the lake Sulpurets
of ores of copper are found, which were
prepared for the great original smelling
establishment, but which were left to be
operated upon by the skill, ingenuity and
labor of man.

EXCURSION on THE ILLINOIS AND WIsCoN-
SIN RALRoAD.-At 81 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, party of invited guests, filling one
first class passenger car, started on an cx-
cursion on the Illinois and Wisconsin Rail
road to Deer Grove, about 25 miles from
this city. The party consisted of some of
our most entcrprising citizens and members
of the press, with few of the legal frater
nifty. Arriving in the vicinity of the Grove
a social lunch was served up and cham
paign and crackers were partaken Of with
great relish. This was the first passenger
train ever run over this road, and consider
ing the newness Of the structure, and the
rapdity with which the track has been laid
the party expressed themselves highly gra
tilted with the ease of motion and the rapi-
dity with which the train progressed. The
country along the route affords pleasant
view, and Deer Grove received manga COM
pliment for It's rural scenery CHIC. Tri6.

EzS- The New York Herald is paper
| that did as much towards securing the sue
cess of President Pierce as any other paper
in the Union. We do not mention the fact
as any compliment to the President, nor do
we think the present hostility of the Herald
any discredit to him. What we quote from
the Herald, is done simply to show the fee
ling growing up among those who brought
the present party into power. The Herald
abiding to the late letter of the Secretary
ofthe Treasury addressed to Collector B on
son, says:
Therenever was a more barefaced, shame
less attempt made by any administration
not even excepting that of the valiant Cap
tain Tyler-to gag public opinion, and to
cram men who have sunk in public esteem
down Peoples Threats than at present. Ne
yer was the Cabinet and its menials more
avowedly engaged in buying up votes thro'
government patronage-neyer was the buy
ing and selling of places for rowdy politi-
clans and grog shop patriots,-so openly
sanctioned or officially enjoined. 1t really
seems as if the present Cabinet hadr run mad
In the sordid attempt to trucke to worthless
factions-as if, in their wrctched fear of re-
tribution they dreaded nothing so much as
the merest chance of being contaminated by
principles. Marcy and Jefferson Davis act
like men who have no faith whatever in the
people: they treat the great body of the po-
pulation as an inert mass, and the factions
as the motive power which requires to be
stimulated by Office.
The above is only a small part of the ar
tlcle, but will serve as a specimen. 1t pre-
diets nothing but disaster and disgrace to
the administration if present counsels con
tinue, and recommends that the present ca
binet be discharged forthwith, and the Off
ces placed in the hands of those who have
neversympathised with faction, which means
had any sympathy or connection with ''free
soil"

LIBERATION OF KOSZTA.

The Washington intelligencer of the 18th
instant says
eve learn that the Austrian Govern
ment. about month ago, consented to
she liberation of KoSzta, on condition that
he should be put on board of an American
vessel and returned directly to the United
States; and the Austrian Minister at Con
stantinoplc was instructed to communicate
this determination TO the Minister, Mr..
Marsh. This consent to the release of Kos
ztawas given, we understand, in consequence
of the recovery of the Hungarian regalia,
IS related in our last Paris letter and in the
French papers. 1t appears that Koszta
was one of Kossuths party when the
Hungarian crown, DC, were taken from
Buda, it was supposed that he could give
information of the disposition of the articles
which might lead to their recovery; and
his we learn was the motive, or one of the
motives, which induced his seizure at
Smyrna. About the last of August the
missing regalia were discovered, as our
readers are already informed, near Orsova
just without the Hungarian power, to which
Kossuth first fled. The recovery of the
crown and Jewels, together with the neces-
sity of relieving the French Consul Gener-
al from the disagrceable engagements TO
keep koszta, induced the Austrian Govern
ment to consent to his release on the con-
dition stated above
