TIE TRUE WAY TO RISE IN TIE World.
1t is only by plodding, active habits of
industry that we can hope to win our way
through life. The race may be arduous,
but it is one which will well repay the com.
petitor. Barrow justly says, "a noble
heart will disdain to subsist like drone up
on honey gathered by others labors, like
vermn,. to ilch its food out of the public
granery; Or like shark to prey upon the
lesser fry but rather ontdo his private OBJ
legations to other mems care and toll by
considerable service and bencfcence to the
public for there is no calling of any sort,
from the sceptre to the spade, the manage
ment whereof, with any good success, any
credit any satisfaction, doth not demand
much work Of the head, or of the hands or
OF both. " Milton, who during an active
life in the most troublesome times, was un.
ceasIng in the cultivation Of his understand
ing, thus describes his own habits Those
morning haunts are where they should be,
at home, not sleeping or concocting the sur
teits OF an irregular feast, but up and stir
ring in winter, often ere the sound of any
bell awake men to labor or devotion in sum-
nier, as oft with the bird that first arouses,
or not much tarder, to read good authors,
or cause them to be read till the attention
be weary or memory have its full fraught
then with useful and generous labors pre-
serving the body's health aud hardness, to
render lightsome, clear and not lumpish
obedience to the mind to the cause of reI-
gion aud our country's liberty" Any man
that does not profit by such noble example |
is an enemy to the public veal.

USEFUL HINTS on MArR1MoHY.-No wo.
man will be likely to dispute with US when
we assert that marriage is her destiny. 4
man may possibly fill some sort OF an exis.
tence without loving but d woman with
nothing to love, cherish, care for and minis
ter to, is an anomaly in the universe-au ex.
istence without an object. 1t is as natural
for a woman TO have some one to look to
for advice and assistance, as to breathe.
Without, it no woman ever was or ever can
be happy. 1t is the want OF her nature, and
nothing can satisfy her heart with such a
void untitled. Now with the exception of
some occasional irregularities in the relative
proportion of the sexes, produced by crcum.
stances, such as the settlement of new coun-
tries, there is no reason why every man
should not have Il wife, and every woman Il
husband, and this would easily he brought
about by the exercise of common sense, and
less ambition. Each sex is looking up for
something above its own sphere The son Of
an industrious and successful mechanic must
be professional man instead of following in
his fathers steps,
When he looks for wife, the neat indus
trious daugh ghter OF a mechanic like his father
is not good enough for him, he must make
love to some fine lady, who is an age in ad-
vance-that is her grandfather was me-
chanic instead of her father, a very aristo.
cratic distinction. On the other hand, the
girl who works for her living, earning it by
honest labors, would not deign to encourage
the addresses of laborng man; she would
set her cap for a gentleman, forsooth. The
mechanics daughter educated on her fathers
earnings to be set Of fops, and daughters
who drive honest men away in disgust, and
then becomes the victim OF some sorry shar-
per or shallow fool Now, this is wrong
deplorably, wretchedly wrong. Girls should
know that men superior to themselves in edu-
cation and position do not always associate
with them for good. Men should know that
by marrying girls educated in the habits
above their fortunes they are not liked to
nave good wives. A little sound sense will
enable any man to see it is better to have Il
wife grateful for more than she can expect,
han grumbling fortune; but horrible, iolting
york to come down.-Home Companion.

a1nily Cirtle,
Work for Children.

There is no greater defect in educating
children than neg lecting to accustom them
to work. Our children suffer from it. The
parents never consider wether the child's
work is necessary or not to the child Moth.
ing is more certain than THAR future inde-
pendence and comfort depends on being
accustomed to work 10 provide
for the thousand constantly recurring wants
that nature entails on US. If they were not
so, still it preserves them from bad habits !;
it secures their health ; it Strengthens both
mind and body; it enables them better to
bear the confinement of the school room,
and it tends more than any thing else, to
give them just veiws of life. 1t is too often
the case that children, provided they spend
a half dozen hours Of the day at school, are
permitted to spend the rest as they please
thus they grow up in the world without
a knowledge of lis tolls and its cares
They view it through a false medium
They cannot appreciate the iavors you be.
SOW, as they do not know the tolls they
cost. Their bodies and minds are eneryated,
ana they are constantly exposed to what
ever vicious association are within their
reach. The daughter probably becomes
hat pitiable helpless object, novel reading
girl. The son, if he surmount the conse-
luences of your neglect, does it probably
after his plains and station for life are fixed,
md when knowledge, in one of its mpor-
an. objects. come too late. No man rr
woman is fully educated if not accustomed
o manual labor. Whatever accomplish.
nent they possess, whatever their mental
raining, deduction must be made for il.
lorance of that important chapter in the
worlds great book.

trGe that we, who have the happiness 70 live
under purer system Of Religion, derive from
il wherever they can apply, Rules Of Life more
perfect and Of higher obligation. than any that
mere human Experience can offer Religion
has, with us, taken possession of much that was
once the province Of History and Philosophy.
1T has substituted, in many things, positive
Ordinance, for sprecepts, which, however wise,
are but the result of mere human experience;
Still, ss large part Of the affairs of this world
ID unenbraced in any direct command of heaven !;
as much Of onr duty is committed to earthly
prudence alone, Of which History y the great
light; we continue, even with the aid OF REEVE
lation. to have little less need than before Of the
lessons that are to be drawn from History. t
is still, as before, one Of the fairest parts Of
knowledge, and one Of the most necessary. Not
to be acquainted with it is to be without the
benefit Of living when such o mass of instructive
examples have been collected for you. 1t is to
be always as 4 child, or even as fool, who,
having no experience of his own, refuses to profit
by that Of other people.
