ABOUT LUCK.


Henry Ward Beecher, in a recen, Lecture,

There are mer who, supposng Providence

bemoan in poverty 10 wreiched old age
the misfortune Of their lives. Luck forever

One with good profession, lost his luck
in the river, where he ijled away his time
fishing when he should have been in the of.

ly burnt up his luck by his hot temper, which
provoked all his employees TO leave him.
Another with a lucrative business lost his
luck by amazing diligence al everything but
his business. Another, who steadily follow.
ed his trade, as steadily followed the bottle
Another who was honest and constant a. his
work, erred by perpetual misiudgmenis: he
lacked discretion. Hundreds lose their luck
by endorsing and by sanguine speculations
by trusting fraudulent men-and by dishon-
est gains. A man never has good luck who
has a bad wife. never knew an early RI

Good Moral Habits.

Lord John Russell has lately delivered an
address in Exeter Hall, London, and we
make the following extract from full report
of il in the London Times:
Young men in these days, and, for aught
we know, in all ages, expect 10 have mora
and relgious progress made not only easy,
but pleasurable, triumphant and ingenious
disnified with theories and sweeiened with
indulgence. They want a royal road TO i'm :
provement--a wide road, pleasant road,
and not very tedious. So Lord John Russell
does not hesitate 10 disabuse them, and he
gives them the stern old advice that the only
way lie to be found in good habits. Bad pas
sions and various iuclinations, in one form
or another, are the re al obstacles to progress,
and they are powerful ones. Strong restraint
is necessary to subdue them, and that re-
straint is 10 be found only in morality and a
good teacher. Good moral habits are the
very sinews Of the frame, whether that frame
be Of one mind or Of ell society. They are
the fibre that makes the very muscles, thai
forms our solid consistency, that gives us
working power and makes US true men. All
the talk in the world goes for nothing il /,

of which is sure 10 make a clever man a
fool, wise reforms nugatory, and great ma.
sion profigate and corrupt. Let Heaven
send good harvests ;-let orf cities resound
with the hum of factories and the traffic Of
streets let the earth be covered with our
railways, and the ocean with our ships but
let The salt of life be waniing-let luxury
spoil the rich, and intemperance degrade the
poor; let classes be set against each other !;
lei the moral sense be once blunted by bad
habits, and then all that should have been

ed to be the chief means. Immorali,y, whe,h.
or public or private, IS the one source of mis-
chief, and Lord John Russell has read good
lesson 10 self-flattering and self.induIaent
generation when he points out that nothing
IS 10 be done and no progress made without
good moral habits. Whether all the young
men who heard him last night thought this
more than so much sermonizing we know
not, but if they live long enough they will
find it all true, TO their pleasure of their oosl

The want of rule in The Senate, such as
that proposed BY Mr.. Stuart, of Virginia, since
the affair of Sumner, has become absolutely
necessary, unless personal insults or offen-
sve reflections on the States represented,
are hereafter 10 be resented like other insults

down for doing so. One of the severest
things said in the Senate lately, was by Gen.
Mason, Of virginia-severe because Just
"that liberties of speech had been taken on
that floor, which no gentleman would dare
TO take elsewhere" Certainly gentleman
would never use language 10 another's face
under shelter Of impunily, which he would
not use 10 his face in another place. In my
estimation nothing can be more cowardly,
especially if spoken when The party was not

have held the speaker personally responsible
for the insult There is, il must be admit
ted, wide difference in point of sensitive
ness between the South aud the North on
these subjects. In the one Gaze words are

oUR OPINION OF ToBAoco-Ezra T, Of
Webster, Mass, says be wants to see our
opinion respecting the almost universal
habit of tobacco ehswing.
Though treading on sensitive ground we
shall not refrain from placing our "opinion"
upon record. We view the use of tobacco
as vile, penicious and expensive habit. II
is derogatory TO the virtue of personal clean.
illness, injurious to health and. a perpetual
drain upon the purse. It's tendency is to
engender debility, imbecility, disease, and
premature death. 1t tends to exhaust and
derange the nervous powers, 10 induce dys-
pepsia and all is kindred evils, as it is re-
cognized principle in nature, that whatever
enfeebles the body must, in the end, and in
the same degree, enfeeble the mind, it
reaches the intellect and exerts a ruinous
effect upon the mind. Thus affecting body
and mind it should be totally abandoned
Yet we painfully realize the fact that the
habit is on the increase. Oh could those
young men who are about learning its use
but realize the evils it has in store for them
they would turn away with loathing and
disgust, and meier touch the "vile stuff
again.-Medical Retormer

ABOUT TEETH.-It is matter beyond doubt
that in young children the front teeth are
produced at the seventh month, and, nearly
always those in the upper jaw first. These
are shed in the seventh year, and are then
replaced by others. Some infants are even
born with teeth. Such was the case with
Marius GURUS, who, from this circumstance,
received the name of Dentatus; and also
with Cn. Papirius Carlo, both of them dis.
tinguished men. When this phenomenon
happened in the case of female, it was
looked upon, in the time of the kings, as
an omen of some inauspicious event. At
the birth of Valeria, under such circum-
stances as these, it was the answer of the
sooth-sayers, that any city TO which she
might happen to be carried would be de-
stroyed; she was sent to Suessa Pometia, at
that time very aourishing place, but the
prediction was ultimately verified by its de-
struction. Some persons are born with
continuous bone in their mouth, in the place
of teeth; this was the case with the upper
jaw of the son of Prusias, the king of
Bithynia.-Dental advertiser.

COMMON SENSE ON SLAVERY.

H. M. Breckenridge publishes a commune
cation in the Pittsburg Union upon the sub
ject of Sumner and slavery, from which We
make the following extracts:
Twill here put question to every candid
man, and I will defy him 10 give an answer,
that will place any one State of the Union or
a higher .ground than any other on this sub
ject OF the slave trade. II is clear, that it
was left in The power of each State 10 prohi-
bit the slave trade within its own limits
And was this done. by any one, or all of

latter, were actively and lucralively engaged

SHOCKING IN BRoNCHITIs.-Thos. c., of
Pittston, Pa, wants to know whether the
smoking of tobacco is of use in sore throat
and bronchitis? His physician recommend.
ed it, and for while it appeared to allay the
tickling cough.
1t is singular that any physician should re-
commend course that must ultimately
prove only injurious. Its first effects are
soothing, and, insidious narcotic that it is,
il modifies the tickling and transciently al.
lays the cough; but alas, the cause produce
ing the irritation and the cough will all the
while burrow down deeper into the system
and wider spread its frighful ravages. The
essential characteristic of this disease is in.
qdmmation-there is too much heat in the parts.
Tobacco smoke in the first place is hot; in
the second it is narcotic, and being drawn
back against the very parts already too
much heated its first effect is too increase
this heat and thus aggravate the disease,
and its second effect is to deaden nervous
sensibility without at all arresting the pro-
gress of the inflammation. This insidious-
ly goes on until it marks the victim as its
own. So far from tobacco smoking being
remedy in these throat difficulties we are
abundanty satisfied that its general practice
has been one of the great causes producing
them. We have known persons to rapidly
convalesce on abandoning the practice, and
have known others to relapse and speedily
die on resuming it again.-Middls States Med-
ieal Rsformer.

MOURN NOT WHEN I'm DEAD.

Mourn moi when I'm dead,
But plant DER my head
A Tree that in summer will bloom;
If ye come where | lie,
For the dead We may sigh,
But shed ye no tears o'er my tomb.
When my body ye lay
Meath the cold heavy clay,
Sing hymn in low, mournful tone.
Softly lay me to rest
Place the sods on my breast,
And leave me 10 slunber alone.
Then when am dead
Weep not DER my bed,
Blu, rejoice that my spirit has flown;
And believe Pm at rest
In the land of the blest,
Where sorrow aud Tears are unknown.
Oh welcome the grave,
Since The Lord Jesus gave
His life as ransom for ours:
His love will US cheer
Through Deaths valley so drear,
And strew the tomb sweelly with flow'rs
