ALWAYS BE WHAT YOU SEEM.

He who strictly follows the impulses Of his own
heart and acts from a conviction of right who
relies more upon his own judgment than upon
possesses individuality, and never affects to be
more than what he really is,Asuch an one cannot
help but be successful in life, although the goal
may not be reached as quickly as BY those who
for short time glitter along the pathway Of
existence in the borrowed habiliaments Of 9TH
ers. Young men too often lose sight of this
fact. They are too eager to grasp the golden
bubble of Fame. They lose their identity, and
hence we find them echoing the sentiments of the
rabble, and not those which should spring from
self-consciousncss of their own abilities. Show
us the man who is fondling, and vacillating and
sycophantic, and we will shew you q fit tool for
designing men. Show us the man who is ever
striving to make the public believe him to be what
he is not, and we will show you bubble Inflated
with gas, and ready to burst when overcharged.
Show us the man who is excessively fond of pub
lie applause, and who is ever seeking to thrust
himself before the public, as noted parsonage,
and We will show you fool, possessing more inn
pudence than brains, and more deception than
honesty. A man must be known by his own mer-
its-by his own intrinsic worth ; not by the ap-
pearance of greatness, but by greatness itself.
Such men always are what they seem, and consc-
qucntly need not the aid of fattcters to bolster
them up, but carry with them an influence ten
fold greater than the nincompoops that dance be-
fore the mirrors of their own vanity, and bask in
the smiles of hollow-hearted compliments. The
deepest streams make the least noise, so the most
intellectual and meritorious move silently along
unnoticed, for time, but ready to take their po-
sition in society when called upon, and able to
maintain them. Whatever else you do, remem-
Der, always be what you seem. 1t will save you
many hours of modification, and draw about you
a host of genuine, worthy friends. yea ''

Cgy The late fall of snow has given us most
excellent sleighing, and we learn that it will be
very generally improved by our citizens. Sever
al real old-fashioned sleigh rides are in contem-
plation, and if horse flesh don't suffer some, we
are no JuuSse Oh Tie Signs oI tue times. Dut gen
tlemen, don't be inhuman. While you enjoy life,
look we'll to the comfort of your beasts.
CO New towns are springing up in our Ter
ritory with a rapidty almost unparalleled. 1t
will not be five years before there will not be a
foot of Government land within one hundred
miles Of St. Paul, Emigrants who contemplate
removing to Minnesota, should hasten their
steps. -
Eg "The cry is " still no mail. Some twelve
of our citizens are patiently awaiting the arrival
of something, as they anxious to leave for the
East. a.:r-.t ..'l ~ 5soit
