Kindness.

Would it not please you 10 pick up
strings oil pearls, drops OF gold, diamonds,
and precious stones, as you pass along the
street? Ii would make you feel happy for
mouth to come. Such happiness you can
give to others. How, do YOU ask ? BY
dropping sweet words, kind remarks, and
pleasant smiles as you pass along. These
are the true pearls and precious stones
which can never be lost; (which none can
deprive you; speak to that orphan child !;
see rhe diamonds drop from her cheeks
Take the hand of that fiendiess boy ;
bright pearls flash into his eyes. Smile on
the sad and detected, a joy sufases his
cheek more brilliant than the most precious
stones. BY the way side, mid the city
din, at the iircside of the poor, drop words
ard smiles to cheer and bless. You will
IeeI happier when restingupon your pill
low at the close of the day, than if you
had picked score OF perishins diamonds.
The latter fade and crumbie in time, the
former grow Brighter with age, and pro-
duce happier reflections forever.

On Broadway is room occupying the

together from 'sal'inities" -that is. they
shall live together as long as their natures
are harmonious, when this harmony
ceases the parties are at liberty to choose
other associations, and bed aud board with
others Of the opposite sex il it p'casts.-
This is the sum and substance of the whole
institution, regard 1t as we may. aud It's
fruits may easily be guessed.

THE HAYTIENS.

The fact is, tho ~lIaytiens aro about the best
dressed and neatest peasantry in the world. No.
other country, in proportion to its population, con-
sumes IA much soap, and nowhere else will the
traveller more uniformly find all classes more neat
ly and modestly covered. Their clothing is not OK
pensiyc, but it is rarely ragged, and is changed al
most daily.
Equally wide of the truth is the statement that
all sorts of "fraud, bribery and robbery" are the
fruits of the military system of S%olouque. We
knoS of no country where the life and property
of travellers are more secure. Money is sent
in large sums by single messengers over the
mountains to all parts of the Empire constantly,
without any escort or guard, and with perfect Sc
curity.
1t is the theme Of universal comment and admi-
ration with all VIII 0 have travelled in IIayti and no
one can say from experience that the danger Of
robbers is greater in travelling fifty miles in any
part of the isllnd than in travelling the same dis
lance in any part of New England.
There is enough to deplore in the condition OF
the Hayticns and in the government to which they
arc subject, as there is in the condition of every
other people and government, but rs q result of
some considerable observation and inquiry, we do
not hesitate to say that there is no branch of the
black race in the hemisphere SO happy and con-
tented as the subjects of Solouque.-N y Eccning

STICK TO SOME ONE PURSUIT.

There cannot be a greater error than to be fire.
quently changing ones business. If any man will
look around and notice who have got rich and who
have not, out of those he started in life with, he
will find that the successful have stuck to some one
pursuit.
Two lawyers, for example, begin to practice at
the same time. One devutes his whole mind to
his profession, lays in, slowly, a stock of legal
learning, and waits patiently, it may be for years,
till he gains an opportunity to show his superior
ity. The other, firing Of such slow work, dashes
into politics. Generally, at the end of twenty
years, the latter will not be worth a penny, while
the former will have a handsome practice, and
count his tens of thousands in bank stock or mort
cages.
Two clerks attain a majority simultaneously
One remains with his former employers, or at least
IN the same line Of trade, at first on n small salary,
then on a larger, until finally, if he is meritorious,
he Is taken into partnership. The other thinks it
beneath him to fill II subordinate position, now
that he has become a man, and accordingly
starts In some other business, on his own account,
or undertakes a new firm in the old line of trade.
Where does it end? Often in insolvency, rarely
IN riches. To this every merchant can testify.
A young man is bred a mechanic. He acquires
a distaste for his trade, hOwever-thinks it is q
tedious way to get ahead, and sets out for the
Vest or for California. But, in most cases, the
same restless, dlscontented and speculative spirit
witch carried him away at first, renders c%ontinu-
Gus employment at any one place irksOme to him,
and SO he goes wandering about the world, a sort
OF semi-ciyilized Arab, and really a vagrant in
character, and sure to die insolvent. Meanwhile,
his fellow-apprcntice, who has staid at home. prac-
Using economy and working at his trade, has grown
comfortable in circumstances, and is, perhaps, a
citizen of mark.
There are men of ability in every walk of life,
who are notorious for never getting along. Usually
t is because they never stick to any one business.
just when they have mastered one pursuit, and are
on the point of making money. thew chonr'it tor an.
other, which they do not understand, and in a little
while what little they are worth is lost forever.
We know scores of such persons. Go where
you will, you will generally find that the men
who have allied in life are those who never stuck
to one thing long, --PhHadephia Ledger.

PROSPECTUS OF THE UNA.

In announcing a new Volume of this periodical.
we deem it essential to call the attention of the
reading public to the claims it may have upon.
them for patronage. :.
The womans' rights movement having become
one of so much importance as to enlist almost
every variety Of character and shade of opinion,
it has been deemed needful that a correct history
of its progress might be preserved; its demands
truthfully presented; and its philosophy thor
oughly treated that there should be one periodical
through which those most interested could have
utterance.
Political papers or those devoted to special re-
forms are alike unsuited to present a question in,
yolving so much Of truth as this, one which needs
the fairest the most candid and careful examina-
ton and consideration.
Our paper has been free in its character admit
ting almost every variety of opinion and upon all
subjects and this it will continue to be.
Arts, science, literature, philosophy both spirit
ual and natural, the science of association or the
Reorganization of Society, and individual develop
ment, will each receive their due share of atten-
ton.
Our contributors a few of whose names we give
will be warmly greeted by our readers Mrs. Dali.
Mrs. f.. Cakes Smith, Mrs. E.. j. Eames, Mrs. +.
d. Gage, Mrs. E. Cheney, now in Paris, Mrs.
Peter, Lizzie Linn whose story of marriage the
only alternative" opens with the first number Of
the New Year and is quite worth the price of tho
paper.
The business department of the paper b, wing
passed into other hands with every prospect of
permanence, we feel a confidence in pressing its
claims for support and attention.
Its price is one dollar per annum, payable in
variably in advance. All business letters should;

MODERN EMBALMING.

The Florence correspondent of an American con.
temporary says
have lately witnessed the process of embalm.
ing as practised here. 1t was on the person of n
yoang American, whose friends wished the hodv
preserved as perfectly as possible, in order to its
being sent home. The law requires that twenty.
four hours notice of the decease shall be given 70
the police by the attending physician, before either
autopsy or embalming shall be practised Tbo
design of the regulation is to give certainty that
death has really taken place, and ir a legitimate
manner. Embalmers are prohibited from emylov-
ing arsenic, an excellent antiseptic, because in
cases OF death from that poison administered vii
fully, their use Of it would defeat the ends of ms
uce. The mode of procedure in this instance was
as follows: The operator first filled two yiols viii
his preparation, and gave them to a police Officer
who was present, to be sealed and subseouontIv
ahalyzod by a competent chemist. If the least
trace Of the prohibited article should he f,nnJ

Household Words.
NOW !

Arise! for the day is passing
While you lie dreaming on;
Your brothers are easel in armor,
And forth to the fight are gone;
Your place in the ranks awaits you;
Each man has a part to play:
The past and the future are nothing
In the face Of the stern to-day.
Arise from your dreams of the future
or gaining a hard fought field,
Of s%torming the airy fortress,
OF bidding the giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor; God grant it may! y
But your arm will never be stronger
Or needed as now-to-day.
Arise if the past detain you,
Her sunshines and storms forget!
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of a vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
OF a nobler strife to-day.
Arise! for the hour is passing;
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is your enemy marching to battle !!
Rise! rise! for the foe is near!
Stay not to brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from dreams of a coming battle,
You will waken, and ind it past.
