Stick 10 Snma One Pursuit.

There cannot be greater error than to
be frequently changing ones business
If any man will look around him and no.
tice who have got rich, and who have not,
out of those he started with, he will find
that the successful have generally stuck
to some one pursuit.
Two lawyers, for example, begin to
practice at the same time One deyotes
bis whole mind to Lis profession; lays in
slowly a stock Of legal learning, and waits
patiently, it may be ior years, till he gains
an opportunity 20 show bis superiority
The other, firing Of such slow work,
da.hes into politics. Generally, at the
end Of twenty years, the latter viii not
be worth a penny, while the former viii
have a handsome practice and count his

Two clerks attain majority simultane-
ously. One remains with his former en-

OF disrespect much less of insult we pay it
the respect which one tribunal should pay
to another, for the common honour of both
This jury did not accuse the bench Of partial
ity or oppressjon-no, we looked upon it as
the sanctuary of lruth and Justice still, my
lord, we cannot erase from our minds the re-
cords of our school books. By them we were
taught that kings and judges are but fallabIe
mortals, and that the seat Of justice has been
polluted by q TressiIian, a Scroggs, and a
JefIreys" The Judge frowncd at these words,
but the intrepid juror thus proceedel:-"M My
lord, am but poor man, yet | am free
born subject and a member of the constitution
nay, am now higher, for l am one Of its
representatives; therefore claim for myself
and teIlow-jUrors, liberty Of speech"
The Judge here resumed his complacency
and the orator continued his address:-"We
have nothing to do, my lord, with your pri-
va,e character in this place, it is veilcd by
your official one: we know you here only in
that of Judge, and as such, we would re-
spect you-you know nothing Of Us but as
jury and in that situation, We look to you
for reciprocal respect, because we know Of
no man, however high his titles or rank, in
whom the law or the constitution would war
rant an unprovoked insult towards that trbu-
nal, in which they have vested the dearest
privileges they possess. We sit here, my lord,
sworn to give a verdict according to our con-
sciences, and the best Of our judgments, on
the evidence before US. We have in our
minds, discharged our duty as honest men,
If we have erred. we are accountable, not to
your Iordship, nor to the king who appointed
you; but TO a higher power, the King of
kings"
The bench was dumb, the bar silent; as
constituent and applause murmured through
the crowd, and the poor man was discharged

Singular ArCeaTarce.

About fye o'clock on Saturday morn
ing last the Western sky was covered
with cloud Of grecnish hue that cover
ed the whole earth with the same tint,
till it appeared much as it would do to
one looking through piece Of green
glass. The cloud, in color, was much
such a one as is said sometimes to pre-
cede tornadoes; but it remained motion
less. ovcrsprcading the sky unit, it broke
up and rolled off in masses before the
sun. The plainczt effect of the coIored
light was in the air itself, which appear
ed, when looking at an object, to be
stained all through, and gave one the
sensation Of looking through very trans
parent co!ored water. The appearance
lasted q short time, half an hour probably,
gradually diminishing in effect as the
sun rose, until It disappeared. We have
noticed the same thing before, but never
so plainly,-LldjuaaP2'iS Jg"r@aL

ENH pREHTEEG
The Hot Season.

By OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
The folks, that on the first Of Nay
Wore winter-coats and hose,
Began to say, the first Of June,
Good Lord! how hot it grows,
At last two Fabrenhcits blew op,
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with lis ball
Now all day long the locnsts sang
Among the leafess trees;
Three new hotels warped inside out
The pumps could only wheeze;
And ripe old wine, that twenty years
Had cobwebbed DER in vain,
Came spouting through the rotten corhs,
Like Joly's best Champague
The Worcester locomotives did
Their trip in hal: an hour,
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked the power;
Roll birthstone soon became d drug,
And locoiucos fell;
All asked for ice, but everywhere
SaItpetre was to sell.
Plump men Of mornings ordered tights,
But. ere the scorchIng Moons.
Their candle-moulds had grown Is loose
As Cossack pantaloons!
The dogs ran mad,-men could not try.
If water they would choose;
4 horse fell deaJ,-he only left
-Four red-hot. rusty shoes!
But soon the people could not bear
The slightest hint Of h;e;
Allusjons to calor.c, drew
\ food Of savage ire;
The leaves on heat we're all torn out
From every book at school,
And many bIackguaras kicked and caaed
Because they said-,'heeP cool!
The gas-hght companies were mobJed,
The bakers all were shot,
The penny press began to talk
OF LynchiDg Doctor Mott;
And all about the warehouse steps
Were angry men IN droves,
Crashing and spliuteriug through the doors
To smash the patent stoves'
The abolition men and maids
Were tanned to such hue,
Iou scarce could tell them from their friends,
Unless their eyes were blue,
And when ] left, society
Had burst It's ancient guards,
Aud Bratte Street and Temple Place
Were intcrchanging cards!

GrtE Of Christians to Hired Servants.


Guty OF Christians to hlreG SeTVaIIs'
Hired servants constitute a numerous
class of our fellow creatures. They cul-
tivate our fields, drive our carriages, pre-
pare our food. wash our linen, and in
many other spheres. peiorm for Us impor-
taut labor. We are sometimes told that
such a state of society is all wrong. This
subject we will not now discuss. Taking
society as it is, in this respect, in view OF
these relations, what are the duties We
owe to those who are thus in our employ
They should be treated with kindness.
While there may not be equality Of con-
, dition, there is, by dirjne appointment,
an equality Of rights. God has made Of
one blood all the nations to dwell on all the
face of the earth. How is our blood chill
ed to hear Of the cruolties Of southern
slavery-of auction stands where human
beings are sold to the highest bidder,
which sundors the tendcrest earthly ties.
DnI while we thus commisserate the con
dItIon OF southern slaves, let us inquire
concornlng the treatment offered to anoth-
er class reduced to the necessity OF per-
forming the hard labor IN our families.
1t IS possible that while we preach,
pray, ana weep over the slavery OF the
south, there may be KIND Oh oppression
next door to slavery under our own rooi.
