over 100000 per annum, carrying an average
burden of from one to twenty-five tons, and
employing about $50 men,
The expresses have become like piece Of fur
nlture which we cannot now do without, and
it may safely be contended that as the FIVE broth
ers Rothschild lived in the five principal COM
mercial capitals of Europe, with their privats
dispatch messengers going to and from each 9TH
or, conducting their vast money exchanges so
the expresses may conduct the exchanges both
domestic and foreign, from the fact that they
possess the very best and safest medium of re-
mittances from one mart to another. Said the
late Mr.. Rothschild in 1882, 1.-THE one who ID
said to have made millions sterling in English
funds, on hearing by his own private messenger
in London, eight hours earlier than the public,
of the victory of Waterloo,) "England is in
general the Bank for the whole world mean
that ALI trsnsaetiesssinInd India, in China, in Gsr-
many, in Russia, in america, and in the whole
world, are all guided here ana ssttIed through
this country" Soft will be said at no distant
day of this country and of New York, its great
commercial emporium, when, with a direct
route to California, q few Collins or Aspinwall
Ferry boats acfoss the Pacific, our express sys-
tenn shall be fully perfected and appreciated. -

Leave me i! said Mr.. McKim, in troubled
tone. You are not dissatisfied / hopei'
Mot at all my sister presence will rendc,
it necessary s#
And will you not returns'
II do not think shall be able, as nv sister
will probably wish me to stay with her.
Mr.. McKim paced the room with some pertu-
baton, and then suddenly drew up chair, and
sat down by Penelope.
Il do not think can give you up said he,
and have therefore, another proposition to
make. If you will not stay with me as q house.
keeper, will you as wife!'i
This is 500 unexpected, murmured PEN
elope.
sfBut you won't refusef'
Let me make an explanation first, and then
you shall be at liberty to do as you please.
Know, then, that am possessed of an indepen-
dent fortune, and merely assumed the post of
housekeeper to gravity wlams 2A5ad that the
time for which had resoisea,sto keep up the
disguise has passed. My name ia not Julia
Malcom, but Penelope Penrese'
This explanation only made Gregory urge bis
suit more vehemensly, and in short it was only
month frcm that time that our heroine prom
ised to become housekeeper for life.

PERFECTION OF THE MIND.

Mental perfection should bc the great aim Of
life. To this end should oil our labors, strug-
giles and prayers tend. In youth, in manhood,
in age, we should seek to render more perfect
our powers of mind. We are never too old
and but few weeks too young for mental i'm
provement. To perfect our minds we must con-
template perfect objects, both in the material
and spiritual universe. We must dwell much
upon these obj cts. We must appropriate their
perfections to our own mental use cherish, ad.
mire, love them. We must look for beautiful
things, that images of beauty may throng on,
minds. We must cultivate amiable feelings
that harmony of soul may enrich the inner tom.
pie with the music of its numbers. We must
strive for perfection Of action that in our daily
walk the halo of angcl-life may surround u.s.
pelormity will not make us more perfect. Vct
Will not help US In our work. The artist neye,
studies deformity to augment his treasures O
beauty The, musician never makes discord
ana narkens to them thereby to cultivate th
sense use OF harmony and beauty in his soul. s,
IN me- we should surround ourselves with tn
best objects. We should always seek the com
pany OF sweet thoughts, lovely objects, amiabl
feelings, pleasant words, good Offices The,
heip 70 perfest our minds Our thoughts a,
tho chiaels which carve tho statuary of our soul

WONDERFUL GOLD-FINDER.

The scientific world has been very much excit-
ed, recently, by the discovery of a gold magnet,
or an instrument which will betray the hiding
place of the precious metal. Electricity is un-
derstood to have aided the discovery, though by
what exact means the end is attained yet re-
mains mystery. The wearers of gold belts
who come, with their treasures sncircling them,
from California, are now in danger. A foreign
Journal says:
"The secret seems to consist in the matter oi
which the machine is constructcd-not in any
mechanism peculiar to the machine itself. II il
small, not bigger than pile of about twenty
crowns. The sauant places this machine upor
his heart, and walks over the ground where ira
dition has assigned the existence of buried treas
ure-the moment he touches the spot where j
10 concealed, the electric shock is SO violent tha
the heart ceases to beat, and when the treasur
exists in large quantities, the bearer Of the ms
chine falls stunned and senseless TO the ground
