LEARN ALL YOU CAN.

Never omit an opportunity to learn all you
can. Sir Walter Scott said, that even in a
stage coach, he always found somebody who
could tell him things he did not know before.
Conversation is frequently more useful than
books for purposes of knowledge. 1t is there
fore, mistake to be morose and silent among
persons whom you think ignorant, for little
sociability on your part will draw them out,
and they will be able to teach you something,
no matter how ordinary their employment.
Indeed, some of the most sagacious remarks,
as made by persons of this description respec-
ting their particular pursuit Hugh Miller,
the Scotch geologist, owes not little of his
fame to observations made when he was a jour-
neyman stone mason and working in quarry.
Socrates well said that there was but one good,
which is knowledge, and one evil, which is ig-
norance. Every grain of sand goes to make
heap. A gold digger takes the smallest
nuggets, and is not fool enough to throw them
away because he hopes to find huge lump
some time. So in acquiring knowledge, we
should never depise an opportunity, however
uncompromising. If there is moments lei
sure, spend it over good instructive, talking
with the first you meet. ..

PANEGYRIC ON BEDS.

The almost forgotten French romancer Gle
mence Robert, thus warmly expressed himself
on the comforts of the bed: ga bed is GER
tainly the most precious and most favorite as
ylum found here below. In fact, when I look
at it, and when I think, when step into it,
how one is suddenly, as if by enchanment, rid
of fatigue, cold, wind, dust, rain, importunate
visitors, tedious conversations, commonplace
remarks, pompous assertions, Dragging, putting
forth head-strong opinions, contradictions, dis
cussions; travelling stories, confidential read
ings of poem or whole tragedy, explana-
tions Or systems in long words, interminable
monologues, and that in place of all these one
has pictures, thoughts, memories to be called
up, that he is in the midst of chosen socie-
ty, or phantoms and visions just to the mind,
and all these dreams, which foreign writer
calls "moonlight of the brain )" when I think
of all these as I look at bed, I know not
what words to make use of to express my en-
thusiasm and veneration, and am almost rea-
dy to bow in alteration before it."

tensely prosaic termination.
A POLITICAL sERMINT.

"My Breethring, will take for my text the
same which was preached once by my brother,
at Brandon, Mississippi, of which you all have
doubtless heard: "And he played on harp
of Thousand strings-sperrits of just men
made per6c."
My breethring, there is as many strings to
poltix as there is to lyre-an good many
liars to eeny most every string-then there
aint but one on 'em all that rings out the music
Of the union to which ever true, patriot had
ought to keep step-fur "he played on harp
of thousand strings-sperrits of just men
made perfc."
Fust thar's the Know Nothin'! His name
expresses the amount of his information, but
1t don't convey an idee of his resources. He's
the most extraordinary animal in the show
he is fur and against variety Of topics; he's
temperance and he drinks-he's fur the Maine
law so pervided he can violate it-he's fur and
against fusion-he's an abolitionist here and
he aint an abolitionist-he here and he'sthar
and he will be no WHARF in November
"he played on harp of thousand strings
sperrits of just men made per6c."
Then thars the polittikle cobbler, goin'
round like roaring green bay jackass seekin'
where he may humbug some boldly. He's all
the colors of the rainbow, and more changea-
BILE then the Camelia Joponniky. He is a
Whig! -Whig-and Know Nothin' and
Anti-Know Nothin'-fur furriners and again
furriners, fur every boldly and agin every bod
dy, but principally a long-heeled, woolly-head-
ed, rantin,' ravin' niggerists and abolitionist
and disunionist- he "played on harp of
thousand strings-sperrits Of just men made
perfc." =
Then thar's the straight-out Whig respec-
table sort of a character in contrast with don't
perceding who represents the fusionist. He
don't want to see the Union destroyed, but he
knows he can't help it if he runs on his own
hook, and that he'd better run wild der ma
chine that's bound to be ahead and wash the
other tubs. He plays on harp of q single
string, but his execution is imperfect.
Then thar's the liberal and the genuine old
fashioned Democrat. They don't go whirling
round in circumbsndibuses-they aint afraid
of nobody nor nothin''. They carry their Union
flag ahoat-the bunting all kivered over with
stars and stripes-glorious and victorious be-
cause its the banner of the Union.
They go for personal freedom-for popular
rights-for justice to.all men and all parts of
country-for light instead of darkness-for
open discussion instead of midnight cabal-
for selfgovernmentand not oroligharchy; and
they go in to win, for their instrument is tuned
with popupr feelin' though its made of beech
woodland they played on harp of thousand
strings, and every string an honest principle.

BOY LOVE.

One of the queerest and funniest things to
think of in after life, is "Boy Love-" No
sooner does boy acquire tolerable stature,
than he begins to imagine himself man, and
to ape mannish ways. lie casts sidelong
glances at the girls he may meet, becomes
regular attendant at church or meeting, sports
q cane, carries his head erect, and struts lit
tie in his walk. Presently, and how very soon
he falls in love-yes, "falls" is the proper
word, because it best indicates his happy, de-
lirious establishment. He lives now in
fairy region, somewhere collateral to the world,
and yet, somehow, blended inextricably with
it, He perfumes his hair with fragrant oil,
scatters essences over his handkerchief, and
desperately shaves, and annoints for beard.
He quotes poetry il which "love" and "dove,"
and "heart" and "dart" peculiarly predomin-
ate; and, as he plunges deeper into the deli
cious labyainth, fancies himself filled with the
divine afiatus, and suddenly breaks into a
scarlet rash-of rhyme. He feeds upon the
looks of his beloved; is raised to the seventh
heaven if she speaks pleasant word is be-
trayed into the most astonishing exstacies by a
smile; and is plunged into the gloomiest re-
gions of misantL-opy by a frown.
He believes himself the most devoted low
er in the world There never was such ano-
ther. There never will be. He is the one
great idolater. He is the very type of mag
nanimity and self-abnegation. Wealth he
despises the grovelling thought. Poverty, with
the adorable beloved, he rapturously apostro-
phizas as the first of all earthly blessings and
glove in Cottage, with water and crust )"
is the beau ideal paradise of dainty delights.
He declares to himself, with the most SOL
emn emphasis, that he would go through fire
and water; undertake pilgrimage to China
or Kamtschatka swim storm tossed oceans !;
scale impassabe mountains, and face legions of
bayonets but for one sweet smile from her lips.
He doats upon flower she has cast way. He
cherishes her glove--a little worn in the fin
gers-next his heart. He sighs like a loco
motive letting off steam. He scrawls her name
over quires of foolscap-ftting medium for his
insanity. He scornfully depreciates the at
tcntions of other boys of his own age; cuts
Peter Tibbcts dead, because he said that the
adored Angelina had carrotty hair; and pass
ed Harry Bell contemptuously, for daring to
compare "that gawky Mary Jane" with his in
comparable Angelina.
Happy happy foolish Boy.love; with its

back out of the scrape That's the way to do
it, Sammy, that's the way to do it."
"It is best, suppose, to be some kind of
politician ?' inquired the son.
"By all means but take care and always be
on the strongest side. You can, though, be
rabid as mad dog in your views, when no
body but your side is present; affect to be lib
eral in your sentiments when you talk with
those of an opposite political creed. Mankind
love liberal man and if you aatter your foes
you disarm them"
"There's good deal in that" observed
Sammy, musingly, rejecting upon the many
existing instances of its truth.
"That there is" responded the sick man,
nearly exhausted, and his lips as pale as ashes
"Double-dealing, done well, will fix the aints
of everybody. When I lived in Squealbury
"a hoggish set there, SAM was great
gun. I was general favorite, owing to my
management-and I had money. They were
going to build town house. There were two
parties, each favoring different site. They
sent committees to ask my opinion. As the
parties were about equal in numbers and inHu-
ence, I hesitated at first which to favor"
"And how did you overcome this difficult

call meeting Of both parties, I would give
them my opinion. That meeting was called,

a native of Squealbury, said, and no med
dler. I would not express my preference or
opinion. I had no confidence that the intelli-
gence of the Squealburians would enable them
to choose for themselves, and with great affec-
ted modesty, I bowed and withdrew, in the
midst of the cheers of both parties"
"That was we'll done, father" said Sam,
admiringly; "and was that the reason you were
elected to the Legislature ?"
nYes" said the senior Smirk, family; ~

"God bless you, my dear father! what's the
matter?"

And with the unfinished word, which had
been his guiding star through life, upon his
lips, Hon. Simon Smirk expired.
Intelligence of his death was telegraphed all
over the Union, and a great many editorial O.
