Don't Complain.
BY ALBERT.


IT is as natural for some people to be al
ways complaining, as it is for them to breathe.
1t matters not what are there circumstances
in life, they seem bound to find fault with
their lot. Something always seems to go
wrong; and, my friends, something always
0W 60 wrong so long as you are constantly
complaining. l have heard people find fault
with their situation when they were enjoying
good health, and surrounded with all the com
forts of life. Some people will complain be-
cause they are not getting rich so fast as they
desire; when they are already in possession
of more than they can in reality enjoy.
Now, my friends, this is wrong; for GER
tain it is that YOU are not benefited in the
least 10y so doing; and instead, your minds
are kept in a state of excitement, and in
consequence you make yourselves unhap-
py, and those around you. 1t is better, far
better, to be cheerful and abiding, and look
on the bright side, come veal or come VICE.
If we would cast our eyes around us, we
might behold many who are worse off than
ourselves, and yet they are seldom heard to
complain or murmur. And why is it so |?
Why do those who have the greatest load of
Affections to bear, repine the least2 Because
they have made up their minds to be patient
and cheerful, and turned their thoughts to
Him who is friend to the afflicted.
Possessed with patience and cheerful dis
position, we might pursue our several avoca-
tions with merry heart, and thus make our
pathway through this rugged world one of
pleasantness. 1t is true many of us meet
with trials and suffer Affections, for which we
feel in our heart many times to murmur. But
my friends when we feel that our lot is hard
one, and that our sutferings are more than We
deserve, let us remember the patience of Job;
let us compare our trials and sutferings with
the affections he bore uncomplainingIy.
We may all make ourselves happier, and
our homes more cheerful if we aoW~ A com
planning husband or fretful wife will keep
a household in a constant state of confusion,
thus rendering life any thing but desirable
Then would say to all who desire quiet and
a happy fireside, Be cheerful, be patient, and
above all, don't complain.

er wander, nor stumble therein; the pomp of
sthis stellar host, hammered with light, is tran
cendant: but evory globe is but huge dead
ness. They neither think nor choose, nor JOY
not sorrow; pulseless, passionless, they swing
through their circuits, struck by the hand of
God, for the same reason that the shuttle
darts, or the ball from the unconscious bat, or
the shuttlecock between two battledores.
But within the meanest man there lives a
nature on which all eternity may work with
out fully developing it. The intellect, the
soul, the afsctions,-they are something of
God All the universe is but their cradle;
and these elements in their lowest state, in
their rudest life, are yet in value beyond all
the fabric of the earth.
The death of Christ gave that knowledge,
and that testimony has been the secret of TIE
humanities and dignites which have sprung
up along the path of the gospel. Upon this
intrinsic and indest:uctible value of man, as
an individual, must every thing be built. Edu-
cation must be to make the most of the indi-
vidual. Law must be for the liberty of the
individual; Institutions must be the means of
giving greater power to the individual; Gov
ernments must be accounted wise and strong,
not as they fetter, but as they release and in
spire the individual.
We mast hare more faith IN man. Not
in man as he is, but as he may be. Not in
misgoverned, uneducated, irreligious man, but
the idea of man, as God meant and made him,
and as ace ought to make him. We must
put more faith in man, il. his capacity of self
government: in the certainty that he will be

MUsH.-Let me suggest for the comfort o
those who stir it for an hour Or two and then
labor great while to wash out the pot in
which they boiled it. that all this trouble may
be saved by cooking it IN tin pail set in a
pot of boiling water, and after it has cooked
letting it cool in the same, after which it will
all slip out in mass, leaving all clean behind
1t. Whosoeyer tries this plan, will never try
the old one again, for it prevents the posi-
bility Of burning the mush, and dispenses
with all the care and trouble except OCCASION
ally to replenish the water in which the pail
is set to boil. AS to the length of time re-
quired, the rule is, the longer the better

Mr.. Mitchell, with his accu med frank
ness, repliel-"I am glad t. see you, and
proud to meet you here"
The writer adds: .E

TAKEN 1N.--Miss Lucy Stone, who has Gre
ated quite sensation in Louisville and Gin
cinnati lately, came down upon a gentleman
on the Maysville packet in true Rowland
for an Oliver style. The reverend gentle
man hearing that Miss Lucy was on board,
sought her out in hurry and commenced a
discussion with her. Not finding it very easy
to make Roadway by argument, he speedily
had recourse to authority; and, in round and
dogmatc terms, denounced her as a young
lady who had not consulted the ancient au-
thorties in the original tongues, but was yet
holding an unblushing controversy with him
whose peculiar business it was to do so.
Hereupon Miss Lucy replied that she had
consulted the authorities in the original
tongues and proceeded to overwhelm the
gentleman with many quotations from the
Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, about which it
was at once manifest that he knew nothing
at all. Finding that he had caught a regular
tartar, the gentleman rushed from his state
room, amid shouts of laughter and applause.

DANGEROUS ExCURsIoN.--On the morn
ing of the 10Th inst, party of gentlemen,
consisting of Messrs. JOHN B. JACoDs, JOHN
QUIMBY, and VIM. Boswell, L. S. Mail car
rier to Lake Superior, left Menomonee in an
open sail boat, bound for this place. They
reached Oconto without much trouble but
soon after they came in contact with large
quantity of floating ice, through which they
worked their way with extreme difficulty for
some distance, and finding they could proceed
no farther turned their boat towards shore
but they found their approach to be prevent
ed by ice too thick to work the boat Thorough
and too weak to bear them. They had al
ready run two holes into their boat, which
kept then constantly baiing to keep her afioat.
They soon found themselves surrounded by
jam Of ice, unable to move one way or the
other, and were compelled to remain in this
perilous situation, through the intense cold
of the night of the 10Th, waiting for the ice
to become sufficiently strong to enable them
to get to the shore, about one and half miles
distant. After some ten hours of severe ex-
posure for which they were almost entirely
unprepared, they finally succeeded in escap-
ing from their painful dilemma, and reaching
place of safety. Mr.. Jacobs informs us that
no party, so completely surrounded and threat
ened by the dangers of the sea, ever took
things as they came more decidedly "cool"
than they did during the long dreary, chilly
watches of that night-obliged, as they were,
to welcome the very frosts that benumed their
shivering limbs Green Bay I'D.
