What is Success.

Ii is Of no use for any man in any walk
OF life, in any pursuit, to hope for success,
unless his views Of the objects of life are
we'll conceived and rational. Success can
not be measured by accumulation Of wealth.
Mere accumulation may cost health and
peace then such success is punishment, sue h
success is poison There is a worm in th-
core. Accumulation may be attended with
ceaseless and harrasslng anXieties and cares.
II is th-n Just as far from being success. The
man who earns three hundred dollars per an
mum, and saves "a quarter OF 1t, and has a
sounder mind in sounder body on the 3lst
dav of December, than he had on the lst day
of January, is an independent and successful
man. The man who has an income of $40
600 and expends 81 900 is slave, and
draws behind him a chain Of trouble as
heavy and exhausting, as the clanking chain
of iron. a ploughnan on his legs is high.
er than q gentleman on his knees" The
man who goes TO California and procures his
tens Of thousands, is not successful, if there
or on his homeward voyage ne mCurs risks
which deprive him of it all !; or if his frame
is penetrated with diseases which shorten a
miserable existence or if he inCurs habits Of
idleness, rocklessness and extravaganza,
which render him an object Of scorn instead
Of respect, forever after. foor ne may re-
turn and penniless, yet if he retains health,
has profled by experience, has clearer vis-
ion and higher capacity tor the future; then
he is successful That man is successful in
any calling, whose desires fall within his IN
come, who is able to render every work
of duty charm and pleasure who meas
u,es the respectability of his pursuit by the
spirit and dignity with which he pursues it /;
who with cheerful temper, and clear
head keeps mastery over his business and
over himself; who is not whirIed into the
deirium Of rapacity or ambition VINO re-
ioices in the triumph Of his genius, his en-
ergies and his WILL rather than in the acqui-
sition of gold, or empty applause; and

"SUcH A LITTLE One p" Specs in the
New York Herald, thus aptly takes off the
Presidents apology for the Greytown affair
The President devotes nearly half Of the
message to an explanation and apology for
that affair, winding up with the unanswera-
bic argument, that if it was an outrage, other
nations need say nothing about it, for they
have, at some time or other in their history,
committed worse violations of right. This
is an able and convincing argument in JUS
tifcation of the outrage, but it has not the
merit of originality of conception. Captain
Marryatt, in his novel of 9 Midshipman
Easy" relates how Mortified Mrs. Easy was
when the young woman who profered her
services as wet nurse blushingly informed
her she was neither wife nor widow
What said Mrs. Easy, "and you had
baby 2 "Oh, but please, ma'am, replied
the girl, "it was such little one and
besides, Sally Scroggs, who is not married
either, had twins last week !" If we had an
international copyright law, the President
could not thus have appropriated chapter
from an English novel, and fitting excuse
for the Greytown outrage would have been
wanting.

Cheap Beds.

In turning over the pages of an agricul-
tural publication few evenings since,
chanced upon a recipe for the formation of
cheap beds. The plan, however, recon-
mended by the writer, seemed 70 me to be
calculated to insure anything but an easy
bed. The Sybarite, who complained of the
crumpled rose leaf, would certainly not be
able to endure bed of such a construction.
The bed of Procrustes would have been COM
Portable in comparison. My method of
making.cheap beds will give you. AS soon
as my corn is stripped from the husks, /
select the finer and more flexible ones, and
dry them in the shade. AS soon as all the
moisture is expelled, the hard ends, or those
nearest the butt OF the cob are cut off, and
the remainder drawn through an instru-
ment purposely constructed for the business,
and which divides them into numerous mar
row strips This is all that is necessary !;
the material is now ready to be put into the
bed, AMI in point of cleanliness, durability
and elasticity, will be found greatly superior
to straw, stripped hazel, or, indeed, any ar
ticle that can be used. In Spain and Portu-
gal, and indeed in many other countries, the
materials used for beds, are of the most
healthy character. In the former country,
feather beds are rarely seen, and the same re-
mark applies with almost equal correctness,
to Portugal. In both of these countries the
husks of corn are almost invariably used as
substitute for feathers. They are prepared
and sold in the markets by the peasantry,
for price merely nominal. have known
