\ Eafhcr,S Advice tn hIS Som.

The time draws Nigh dear John, that | must 60
the way from which none returns. | cannot take
thee with me, and leave thee in world whe lie good
counsel is not superintendent. No is boz Iwise.
Time and experience teach to separate tt. grain
from the chaf | have seen more of the world than
you it is not all gold that glitters | have seen
many star fall from heaven, and many a staff on
which men have leaned break; therefore, | give this
advice, the result of my experience:
Attach not thy heart 10 any transitory thing. The
truth comes not to us, dear son we must seek it,.
That which you see scrutiniZe carefully; and with
regard to things unseen and eternal, rely God.
Search closely myself. Within US
dwells the Judge who deceves, and whose
voice IS more to than the appauses of the world
and more than all the wisdom of the Egyptians and
the Greek. Resolve my son, TO do nothing 10 which
this voice is opposed. When you think and project,
strike on your forehead and ask for His counsel He
speaks at first low, and lisps an innocent child
but if you honor His innocence, he gradually oosens
his tongue and speaks more distinctly.
Despise not any religion it is easy to despise, but
it is much better to understand. Uphold truth when
thou canst and be willing, for her sake to be hat
ed; but know that thy individual cause is not the
cause of truth and beware that they are not con-
founded. Do good for thy own satisfaction, and care
not what follows. Cause no gray hairs TO be disre
garded. Help and give willingly when thou hast,
and think of thyself for it; and If IT, hast
nothing, let thy hands be ready with drink of cold
water, and esteem myself for that no less Act al
ways when thou knowest, but know always what
thou sayest. Not the apparent devout man respect
and 60 in His ways. A man who has the fear OF
God IN his heart is like the sun that shines and
warns, though it does not speak Do that which is
worthy of recompense, and ask none. Reflect daily
upon death, and seek the life which is beyond with
cheerful courage; and, further, go not out of the
world without having testified by some good deed
thy love and respect for the Author OF Christianity
Goethe.

YANKEE DOODLE IN AUsrRALA.-PatrickJ J. Smith,
under the head of Seven Months in Australia
writes as follows in Mr.. Mitches paper, The Cit
iZen -
At Sydney there is a neat theatre, which, during
the engag cement of good olerable artists, is
sure TO be we'll supported. In August last Stark, the
American tragedian and his wife, performed there.
The house was crowded every night of their engage
ment. In all English theatres that ever we had at
tended, whether in Ireland or England it is stand
ing rule that at the conclusion of the first piece the
orchestra strike up the national anthem and that
during its performance the audience remain standing.
| Upon the occasion of our first visit to the Sydney
Theatre, fully expected to be condemned to wit
ness this sham exhibition of loyalty and were in
the act of celebrating with ourselves, what under
! the circumstances we should do-whether we should
maintain our seat, fix our hat firmly our head.
fold our arms, and frown a stern defiance upon the
outstanding rank and fashion of Sydney, or rush ont
of the box in state of virtuous indignation-when
to our utter amaZement, instead of God save the

event, but when, Immediately after, the orchestra
struck up Yankee DOODLE the dress-circle Kissed
the pit and galleries cheered while regardless of both
bang went the fiddle, attarara went the kettledrums

HI Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently ofered
to the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials to
lis efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number Of people who are ai-
Hicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his f'rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache whohave heard OF H.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med
cne deserves the favor it receives and hatit will

Robemian GIass.

The celebrated Bohemian Glass is blown in
small manufactures contrasting single Chin
ney. To each Of the factories there are gener.
ally eight blowers. The only fuel used is
wood. The finishing is performed in the cot
ages, and this embraces the cutting, polishing,
and indeed, every thing but the making Of the
glass and coloring it. The ingredients, long
supposed to be different from those employed
elsewhere, are asserted to be the same. II is
not as much for the material as for the orna-
menting, however, that the Bohemian glass is
celebrated. This depends on the taste and
skill Of the ARTISAN. il is curious how high a
degree Of merit is attained by these Bohemian
workmen. They live in humble cottages, and
exercise the utmost frugality, their wages never
exceeding six dollars week, and rarely rising
to that point. With no tool but their wheel,
they will cut the most delicate designs, and
without the aid Of pattern. In painting glass
they rarely employ more than two brushes, one
small and the other size larger, yet the scrolls,
flowers, and other traceries come out as fully
as a name drawn on frosty window-pane. II
is not an uncommon occurrence for whole
family to be brought up to paint or draw on
glass; and thus great skill is frequently &C
CURED ut an age almost incredible. The gold
| used is from the finest ducats, dissolved from
strong acid; the oil with which the colors are
mixed is of turpentine.
