RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE GREEN

RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE GREEN.
If you require person to become
security for you don't ask the man who
promised he would do anything for you
when he knew that you didn't want any
thing done. If you happen to know an
author don't own it; one-half the world
won't believe you, and the other half won't
think much Of it if they do. Don't say
you never take suppers, excepting where
you know they never give any. If you
don't know what everybody else knows,
you had better hold your tongue; and if
you know something that every body else
knows, you had better hold your tongue,
too. If you happen to say something in
society which causes painful sensation,
YOU had better take walk for five minutes.
If you intend to do good thing, don't
change that. These and afew other golden
rules, which we don't exactly remember,
should be learned by heart, as they will
prevent your appearing green, and other
people looking blue.-Diogenes.

Music sTIMULANT TO MENTAL EX-
EKTIoN--Alferi often, before he wrote,
prepared his mind listening to music. AL
most call my tragedies were sketched to
my mind, eitherin the act of hearing music,
or a few hours after'--a circumstance
which has been recorded of many others.
Lord Bacon had music played in the room
adjoining his study. Milton listened to his
organ for his solemn inspirations, and
music was even necessary to Warburton-
The symphonies which awoke in the poet
sublime emotions, might have composed
the inventive mind of the great critic in the
visions of his theoretical mysteries. A
celebrated French preacher Bourdaloue or
Masillon, was once found playing on vio-
lin, to screw his mind up to the pitch, pre-
paratory to his sermon, which, within a
short interval, he was to preach before
the court. Curran's favourite mode OF
meditation was with his violin in his hand;
forhours together he would forget himself,
running voluntaries over the strings, while
his imagination, in collecting its tones, was
opening all his faculties for the coming
emergency at the bar.-Dssraek on Mt
Literary Character.

The MoRMoNs. learn by letter
from Kansas to the Oceola Independent,
that the advance guard Of the Mormon
emigration over the plains this season, is
encamped near that town. This body
numbers, 1900 persons; they are chiefly
Danes, Swedes, Norwians, Welsh, and
English. Verify, selection of the nor
thern European people like these, make a
hardy, industrious and indomitable popu-
lation. One Mr. Curtis, mountain
Mormon, commands the band, will start
with 200 wagons as soon as the grass has
grown sufficiently. There is little sick
ness in the camp, and the emigration is
composed of sober, healthy and industri-
Gus people.
