TO come but once into the world and
triae away our right use of it, making
a burthen of what was given for n
blessing, is, to say the least of it, very
strange infatuation. Time is what we
all want most but use worst, but must
account for it when time shall be no
more. There is but little use to drive
time away by foolish advertisements,
which flies away so swiftly of itself,
and which, when gone, can never be
recalled. An idle person is sort Of
living monster when ali nature is busy
around him. How sad it is to hear
people complain. of the day hanging
heavily on their hands, or that they do
not know what to do 1t is really
wicked for civilized people to say this,
because they have the duties Of life
constantly before them, and can cxer-
else their minds, if not their bodies, in
the never-ending pursuit of knowledge
and improve themselves every hour.
There is no man but hath a soul, and
if he attend carefully to it, he need
not complain for want Of business
Where there are so many temptations
to resist, so many inclinations towatch,
so many graces to improve, surely a
man need never be idle, for all these
things require much time. Vespasian
made it a practice to review at night
the actions of the past day, during
most Of his life. and whenever q day
was passed without a good action, he
wrote in his diary, 81 have lost day
like money, could be laid away
while not in use, there would be an
excuse for idleness. Time is one of
the most precious jewels we possess,
but its real value is known but by
few until it's close is near and its loss
cannot be redeemed. The present on
Iy is ours. The uncertainty adds much
to the brevity Of time, and its velocity
urges it's improvement the more.
Seneca remarked:
eve all complain Of the brevity Of
time, but use it as though we had too
much

HAPPY HOME.

Who wrote the following we know
not. But whoever did, estimated right
ly the spirit and conduct which makes
the family happy and inviting. An
unpleasant home, with frettul and
fault-fnding companions, is next akin
to the pcrdition of which the Bible
speaks. Home should not be unhap-
py. Better infinitely break it up, and
scatter its elements, than live amid
the burning flames Of anger, disgust,
and discomfort. Unhappy families,
read and ponder we'll on the following
extract. Is there hope that your Cir
Gle can be impressed! lfnot, sad and
dark is your future!
SIN happy home there will be no
Eault-fnding, oyerbearing spirit--there
will be no peevishness nor fretluIness.
Unkindness will not dwell in the heart
or be found on the tongue. O, the
tears, the sighs, the wasting Of life, and
health and strength, and time, of all
that is to be most desired in a happy
home, occasioned merely by unkind
words! A celebrated writer remarks
to this effect, namely, that fretting and
scolding seem like tearing the flesh
from the bones, and that we have no
more right to be guilty of this sin than
we have to curse, and swear, and
steal. In a perfectly happy home all
selfshness will be renewed. Even as
Christ pleased not HIMSELF so the
members Of a happy home will not
seek first to please themselves. Cheer
fulness is another ingredient in hap
Ply home. How much sweet smile,
emanating from heart fraught with
love and kindness, contribute to rem
der home happyl How attracting,
how soothing is that sweet cheerful
ness that is borne on the countenance
of wife and motherl How do the
parent and child, the brother and SIS
ter, the mistress and the servant, dwell
with delight on those cheerful looks,
those confding smiles that beam from
the eye and burst from the Utmost soul
of those who are near and dearl How
it hastens the return ofthe father, light
ems the cares of the mother, renders it
more easy for youth TO resist tempta-
ton; and, drawn by the chords of az
lection, how it induces them, with low
ing hearts, to return to that parental
roof o, that parents would lay this
subject to heart, that by untirins eff.
fort they should so far render nome
more happy, that their children md do
mestics shall not seek happineS in for
hidden paths"

NEGRO INSTRUCTIONS.

Our exchanges come to us literally
filled with notices of attempted insur-
rections amongst the negroes. Down
about GAINESVILLE much excitement
prevails. Several negroes have been
killed, and many arrested and confin-
ed in Jail.
In the States of Missouri and Mary
land, as well as others, much disputes
ude prevails on this account. Strin-
gent regulations are being enforced,
and it is hoped that law and order will
prevail.
There is only one way to account
for this, and that is, we have aboli-
tionists here in the South who do not
scruple to take every advantage and
use every incentive to induce the ne
groes to rebel against government
They should, and certainly will, be
properly punished whenever anA wher-
ever found.
We are glad to learn that our Town
Council have taken the matter in.
to consideration, and established
strong patrol, who seem to beperform-
ing the duty as the necessity ofthe case
demands. This is exactly right.

QUESTION:

Her form was fair, her step was light
Her eyes shone like the stars Of night
Her words were mild, and sweotly fell;
Her laugh was like silver bell.
Well pleased was | with her to walk
More pleased still with her to talk
We talked Of birds, of bees and bowers,
OF shady trees, and blooming flowers:
Thus talked we on just as we chose,
When suddenly our ages rose.
Chow old are you?" she said to me,
| quick replied--"I'm twenty.three;
And now would it be more than fair,
Ifyou should tell how old you are?"
She looked at me, then shook her head,
And tween laugh and smile she said
Zone. half my age, and four times four--
Plus just by three, and one.half more,
Extract the cube root, it will be
One.ffth my age, as you will see:"
And then she turned and said "good,bye,"
And went her way and so did |.
Come now, ye tyros, tell, | pray,

harp Of a thousand strings, as fol-

Sour life contains thousand strings,
And dies If one be gone,
Strange that harp Of a thousand strings,
Should keep in tune so long

Der hills and wales of snow,
Nor told my fleet reindeer
The track wished to 60.
Yet quick he bounded forth;
For we'll my reindeer knew

The path that leads to you.
The gloom that winter cast
How soon the heart (orgets,
When Summer brings, at last,
Her sun that never sets!

Than summer sun more true,

THE AMERICAN JEW.

"The American Jew is only less proud
of his country than his religion. To say
he is mere dweller upon the soil be-
cause it affords him the means of support
is to libel the most noble traits of his
character. The graves of his ancestors
are around him. His heaven is as near
to him on the shores of the Pacific as
upon the sacred Mount of Olives or
within the classic walls Of Jerusalem
His God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and
omniscient. He has knelt before that
awful presence alike on the deserts of
Arabia and the frozen zones of Siberia !;
and why should he here where the law
recognizes his religion and his political
privileges, Withhold an affection to which
he is impeIled by every consideration of
prosperity to himself and future happi-
ness to his children? His respect for
our laws is shown in the fact that he sell
dom violates them. His wealth has gone
towards building up and enriching our
cities. He cultiYates the arts, and goes
heart and soul with our active citizens
in every useful enterprise. He quar-
rels bat little; heads a mob--never.-
You viii find him in our courts Of jus
tice, on the bench, at the bar, In the iu-
~ box, but seldom ever arraigned for a
heinous criminal offence This is the
American Jew. Let his good qualities
be initiated; his bad ones should be for
gotten"
