THE LONDON PRESS ON AMERICAN
AFFAIRS.

The New York Herald publishes two mr.
cles of the London Times, on American af
fairs. Both refer mainly to the Cuba ques-
ton, and are full of the old rubbish about
its being II shocking thing TO covet your
neighbours wife, his OK, his ass, or anything
that is his. For IN answer to all which our
London contemporary may safely refer TO the
history of n nation which has been common.

fair dealing, equity and honor-England in
short. After being herelf the prey oi>three
different races of plunder, Danes, SayOns
and Normans, all of whom were profession
ais, liviu"on what they stole, and having in.
ternurf1ed with the fair British girls, bcgat
the present race Of British grumblers at
American dishonesty. England began her
own history by p'undering the Scotch, who
in return, plundered the English. hfterward,
she plundered the French, and took from
them nearly all of the Northern and most Of
the Western Provinces. She then plunder.
dered the Irish, who being n wild sort of peO-
pie, and wretchedly uncivilized, spent their
time in plundering each other, instead Of the
world. Passing to foreign countries, Eng.
land plundered the Indians of North Ameri-
ca, and killed few for murmuriug; from
which act of rapine ultimately grew the
United States. In Asia the same England
plundcred few score of native potcntatcs,
and took their dominions. To mention sm III
grabs, such as Malta, Gibraltar Jamaica, would
hardly repay the trouble. Suffice it to say,
that from the first to last, the glorious Anglo
Saxon race has always been n race Of plum.
derers, and so far from obeying the ninth
commandment, have never been able TO see
any one in possession of anything that was
desirable without coveting il and taking it on
the spot, if, as the members of the Ostend
Conference said, they were strong enough TO
do so.
As to the old parties and the Know Moth
ings, the Times appears to be right enough
The former have had their day. 1t will COM
fort the latter to know that the Times has
taken them under lis protection, and rejoices
at their success.

THE CHEAPEST Foop.-One hundred
pounds of good wheat -four contain 80
pounds Of pure nutrilive matter and 10
pounds of water. One hundred pounds of
potatoes contain from 20 to 25 pounds Of nu-
tritiye matter depending upon the quality
of the potatoes, say 22t pounds upon I'm av-
erage consisting almost entirely OF starch,
and 774 pounds of water and inert maltcr.-
1t requires, therefore, exactly four hundred
pounds of potatoes to supply the same
amount of nutriment that one hundred
pounds of wheat flour supply. The best po
taloes weigh about 81 pounds to the bushcI;
and bushe contains Is l 5 pounds of nu-
trimcnt. AT two dollars per bushel, or fifty
cents peck, the retail price lately in our
markets, the nutrilive portion Of potatoes
costs fraction over thirteen cents Il pound.
which is equivalent to twenty three dot
lars and fifty cents for barrel of good
-four. While -four has doubled in price
only, potatoes have increased at fourioId
rate,

Sardinia would have received $332 per head
of officers and men, for his majesty's slaves
thus sold to disease and death. The bargain
has but n. single parallel in the history of
modern natons The sale by the Elector of
Hrsse of his subjects to George ILL.,, to fight
the battles of England in our Revolutionary
War. As in that case, these Sardinians have
not the slightest interest in the war as neith-
er their country's honor, rights nor interests
are involved in it.

"Eypensive, mindless, impractical and use.

cramped out of all symmetry, power and nat

manual dexterity; little drawing, which is
only distorted imitation, of distorted copies
for neither art is taught in the breadth
and Significance belonging 10 it; little hsto.

ography, which means dotted outline on Il
sheet Of paper but which includes neither the
natural history, nor the ethnology, nor yet
the industry of foreign countries, needIework,
which leads TO everything but usefulness;
modern languages, which when "iinishcd"
reveal neither the literature nor the people,
and are equally unsrrviceable for reading and
for conyersalon--these, rs all the world
knows, make up the list of English school,
girls accomplishments; and few parents

education for them.

IRos WALLs.-The New York Journal of
Commerce speaks favorably of an iron wall
designed as n substitute for brick in buildings,
It says: "rhe pieces of iron employed are
ingeniously shaped so as TO secure lightness
with great strength, apparently, and the wall
thus constructed may be easily taken in pieces
nnd re.erected, with comparatively little labor
or expense. The most striking peculiarly
is, that the plates of iron used in forming
wall. are connected without bolts"

This remedy must be applied within forty

And this same flower that smiles to-day,
Tomorrow will be dying.

When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse and worst

FRIEEDsHIP.-If you would have friend,
you must first find him; and, MS this is an i'm
portant point to gain, too much care cannot
be bestowed upon your search. Be very
cautious in your seleciion-as it is not every
man who calls himself, or even appears to be,
your friend who really is such. Before you
venture to entertain the friendship of any
man, or offer him yours, be perfectly assured
that he is worthy of it; do not rashly lose
sight OF this precaation, us on its proper OBJ
servance depends The comfort, nay, even
safety, Of, your choice. Never believe that
real friendship can exist without respect;
therefore, il you observe in the character,
habits, or disposition of any of your acquaint.
ance aught that tends to lessen your esteem
for him rs an individual or Il Christian, do
not think to make that man your friend
When YOU have found friend, your next
care must be TO keep him. This will de.
pend almost entirely upon yourself. Solo,
mon says, "a friend loveth at ali tines" but
do not presume too much, nor ever take ad-
vantage Of your position, by making It the
plea for a careless and neglectlul MANNER
The beautiful influence of such behavior is
too often seen in family relationships, and be
assured il is most detrimental in diminishing
that respect which is indispensable TO true
friendship Finally, you will do well to re-
member the proverb Of the wise man above
quoted: "a man that hath friends must tshOw
himself friendly; and there is n friend that
sticketh closer than n brother"

The test is probpby one of the strongest to
