CHEERFULNEss.-It is better to tread
the path of life cheerfuly, skipping
lightly over the thorns and briars that
obstruct your way, than to sit down
under every hedge lamenting your hard
fate. The thread of cheerful mans
life spins out much longer than that of a
man who is continually sad and despond-
ing. Prudent conduct in the concerns
of life is highly necessary; but if distress
succeed, detection and despair will net
afford relief The best thing to be done
VIXEN evil comes upon us, is not lament
alton, but action; not to sit down and
murmur, but tor;se and seek the remedy.
KEEP yourself innocent. if you would
be happy.

MYSTERIOUS TRACK.

In walking the other day in Kensing-
ton Gardens. we observed, for consid-
cradle distance, a track of something
that seemed to have swept along the
mud from one end of the broad walk to
the other. At first we thought it must
have been a hair broom, then an aquatic
bird, then sledge, then road-scraper;
and it was not until we saw slady advan-
cling in splendid silk dress, with which
she swept up the mud wherever she went,
that we aseertained the source of the
mystery. Although we traced the phe-
nomenon to its origin, we confess that We
remained still in state of surprise at
the taste which induced well-dressed
ladies to turn dust collectors, and to con-
vert their silks and satins into machines
for performing the Office ofscayengers--

ARRoTr LAWRENCE.

This distinguished merchant died at his residence
in Boston at ii A. NJ Of Saturday, in the 6ith year
of his age. He was the son Of Samuel Lawrence,
a moderately independent farmer of Puritan lin
cage, living in Groton, Mass, and remained with
his father, attending school aud working on the
farm, till his sixteenth year, when he went TO Bos-
ton and was employed as a clerk in the importing
house of his eldest brother, Amos From that
time his life was an absorbed and busy one, aud
he never enjoyed any educational advantages but
those afforded him by the common or district
school and the active world around him. But no
man ever priced more justly the advantages of ed
ucation, aud among the many princely beneisctions
of his later life was a donation Of $4,000 to Har-
ward College for the foundation and endowment OF
a School of Practical Science, which Will hand
down his name with honor to remote generations

We had recently occasion to speak of the per-

things in the world. A late article in The Ma

the party ia power now claim for themselves as

any party and any politician on whom il could
have been fixed. The furthest that even Ham

with being national. Aud 1t was that charge
