AMERICAN HURRY.

We spoil evrything by hurry. whether
1t be the dinner that we devour without
quiet digestion, or the land that VIC ex-
haust by impatient tillage, or the health
and strength that we waste in our haste
to be rich, or in the mind and heart that
we fret and fever away by the constant
round OF excitement. In the opinion of
some medical men, we are waring our
selves out as nation, by our hurry and
lntensity-too eager to get living, to be
willing to stop to live. The statistics of
insanity, show an alarming increase of
that fearful scourge, and ten thousand
pale and anxious faces, are writing their
sad commentary upon our temper and
habits. l am nos fond of croaking, and
believe on principle. in the power of a
cheerful heart. Precisely because of
this power, | insist upon the need of
more tranquil faith, and more peaceful
and steadfast method. We may all re-
joice in the prosperity of our country
in the vastness of our domain-in the
numbers and intelligence of our people,
and nevertheless remember that we are
but human, and are exposed to all the
perils that have been the wreck Of nations
in the old world. Whether for a nation,
or for an individual soul, true progress
is to be measured by the character for
med, not by the distance travelled Os-
goods Mlestones.

THE APPRENTICE.

A young man whose father was in easy
circumstances, was desirous of learning
the printing business. His father con-
sented on condition that the son should
board at home and pay weekly for his
board, out of the avails of his special
perquisites dullng his apprenticeship.
The young man thought this rather hard:
but when he was of age and master oil
his trade, his father said ,-' Here, my
son, is the money paid TO me for board
during your apprenticeship. II never in
tended 10 keep it, but have retained it
for your use, and with it, | give you as
much more as will enable you to com
mence your business.
The wisdom of the old man was ap
parent to the son, for while lis fellows
had contracted bad habits in the cxpen-
iture of similar perquisi:es, and were
now penniless and in vice, he was ena-
bled to commence his business respecta'
bly and he now stands at the lead OF
publishers in this country while many
Of his former companions are poor, Vi
cious and degraded.

seasons-fall, spring, early summer--it
is vast museum Of human life, and The
last fashions. Men, women, horses, car
riages, omnibuses, dust, dirt. noise-a
little of everything, and great deal of

Look in the shop windows, or at the
pretty women-and, by-the-way, there
is such horrible crowd ofpretty women,
beautiful women--well dressed, very
lovely creatures, that you cease to look
al any individual, or be struck by any
particular face, as you would be in other
places. 1t seems as if beauty had be-
come an epidemic, and the last test work
of mother nature had caught it general

in the world of--Broadway. There
sweep past you the grenadier guards of
Beauty, mature in training, and resolute
in attraction, coming in columns of CON-

numerous watering place campaigns ir-
reproachable in dress, and filing past you

of " regulars" in the army of fashion,
and veterans in the triumphs Of beauty ;
all these will continue to sweep past you

THE GENTLE SHOWER.
BY w. PORTER. .


darkscme shadow rests upon the earth
Dropped from the clouds,
Above the scenes that gave them birth,
Hanging like shrouds;
While from their murky folds the glitt'ring rain
Falls sianting down,
Yelling the distant hills, the spreading plain,
And smoky town.
The farmers herds securely sheltered, stand
Within the door
OF yon rude rustic barn, patient band
Upon the floor;
While from the gabIed roof, busy throng,
The swallows fly,
Filling the air with their twittering song
So gleefally.
Within the fields gathering infant streams,
And coursing
To lakelets, which reflect the golden beams
OF setting sun,
That through yon crimson cloudlets glide
And scenes survey
Those fair bright which cloudy foes have hiC
Throughout the day.
The vivid emerald of the arching trees
Far brighter seems
And, as the boughs sway in the gentle breeze,
The sunny beams
From many a silser'd leafet break,
Like ripples bright
Upon the bosom of the trembling lake
Meath Luna's light.
1 love to listen in the sombre night
To the mufied roar
OF the surging rain in its arrow iight
Along the air;
Or hear it patter the santing roofs,
Until my brain
Rings with the echo, like the trampling hoofs,
OF an Elm train.

HOME POLITENESS.

Why not be polite? How much does
it cost to say al thank you" Why not
practice it at home To your husband,
your children, your domestics ? If a
stranger does some little act of courtesy,
how sweet the acknowledgement Ii
your husband-oh it's II matter of
course No need of thanks.
Should an acquaintance tread on your
dress, your best, your very best, and
by accident tear it, how profuse you
are with your "never minds-don't
think of i'll don't care at ALL" If a
husband does it, ne gets frown ; if a
child, it is chastised.
All! these are little things say you
They tell nightly on the heart, let us
assure you, as little as they are.
A gentleman stops at a friends house,
and finds it in confusion. "He don't see
anything TO apologize for-never thinks
of such matters--every thing is all right
cold supper--cold room-crying chill
dren-'perfectly comfortable
Goes home, his wife has been taking
care Of the sick ones, and working her
life almost out. Don't see why things
can't be kept in better ordel-there new
er was such cross children before" No
apologies except away from home.
Why not be polite at home ? Why not
use freely the golden coin of courtesy
How sweet they sound, those little words,
81 thank ynu,' or ''you are very kind. %
Doubly, yes thlice sweet from the lips
we love, when heart-smiieS makes the
eyes sparkle with the clear light of airec
ton.
Be polite to YOUR children. Do you
expect them to be mindful OF our wei
fare To bound away to do your pleas
ure before your request is half spoken ::
Then, with all your dignity and author
ity mingle politeness. Give it a niche
in your household temple. Only ten
will you have the true secret of sending
out into the world really finished gentle
men and ladies'.
Again we say unto all-be polite

From the Voyage and Adventures of Sir Amyas Leigh
Kt., in the reign of Queen Elizabeth
Amyas Leigh and his ships crew have
have been sojourning for some time
among the Indians. On returning from
hunting party he finds two of his men
missing. The are supposed to have ta-
ken TO the forest, each with an Indian
girl :-Amyas was very wroth at the
news. First, because it had never hap
pened before: he could say with honest
pride, as Raleigh did afterward when he
returned from his Guiana voyage, that
no Indian women had ever been the
worse for any man of his. He had
preached on this point month after
month, and he practised what he preach
ed ; and now his pride was sorely hurt.
Moreover he dreaded offense to the In
dians themselves but on this score the
Cacique soon comforted him, telling him
that the girls, SO far as he could find,
had gone off of their own free will IN
timating that he thought it somewhat an
honor to the tribe that they had found
favor in the eyes of the bearded men /;
and moreover, that late wars had so
thinned the ranks of their men, that they
were glad enough to find husbands for
their maidens, and had been driven of
late years to kill many Of their female
infants. This sad story, common per-
haps, to every American tribe, and one
of the chief causes of their determination,
reassured Amyas somewhat; but he
could not stomach either the loss of his
men, or their breach of discipline /;
and look for them he would Did any
one know where they were ? If the
tribe knew, they did not care to tell ;
but AyacanoIa, the moment she found
out bis wishes, vanished in the forest,
and returned in two days, saying that
she had found the fugitiyes but she
would not show them where they were,
unless he promise not to kill them. He
of course, had no mind for SO rigorous a
method he both needed the men, and
he had no malice against them; for the
one, Ebswerthy, was a plain, honest,
happy-go~lucky sailor, and as good a
hand as there was in the crew and the
other was that same ne'er do well, Will
Parracombe, his old school-fellow, who

Love is as necessary to woman's
heart as fashionable bonnet to her head.
Indeed, we think, rather more so ; for
nothing less than large measure of love
will content her, whereas the recent FASH
ion has shown that she can be satisfied
with very little bonnet. 1t is undoubt-
edly scandalous observation, but a
modern Philosopher has remarked. and we
give the aphorism for what it is worth,
that I" Love is so essential to the very life
Of woman, that in celebicy she is unhap

IIoME.-Let no man ever think of
happiness distinct from that of home
The gayesl must have their sick and sol
itary hours. The busiest must often re-
lax their labor, and there must be some
retreat for them, where they may seek
refreshmeat from their cares, and collect
the spirits that disappoiniments SO often
depress. They who live most for the
public still live for the public but small
part, and they are apt to find the public
service a burthen, which gentler incite
ment than that of strong ambition must
furnish the strength to support.
