DEsr1NY.-The greatest men that ever
lived have been believers in what is call
ed destiny, and all of US are, to greater
or less extent, for all our actions influence
our future. But there is special belief
in individual destiny which builds up
character. The first Napoleon believed
that he had special call to rule Europe,
and reconstruct society. His nephew,
the present Emperor. always believed that
he would rule France, and that conviction
gave complexion to his whole course OF
life. He shaped his conduct accordingly.
Caesar believed in his peculiar destiny, 50
did Columbus, and no doubt. SO did Shaks-
peare, for no often dwells with solem-
nifty on the word providence. Milton
nursed the idea of his Paradise Lost
for thirty years before he wrote line oi
it; and was not that a belief in destiny,
combined with rare patience and strong
hope? But it is only the great who can
indulge in such dreams Of fame and for
tune. The mighty multitude must toll
necessarily up the steep ascent. and not
pause to luxuriate over grand and fasci-
mating possibility.

To where the Heights o'erlook the bay;
With dresses swelled, by hoops outspread,
And hats that hang BEHIND their head,
And troops of young ones at their heels
Who I'll the air with merry peals,
Lo Brooklyn bellies 60 dashing by .a.
Like stars that shoot athwart the sky;
Forth, forth and meet them on their way,
The fairer sex brook no delay;
Their merry laugh and blithesome song
Re-echo as they skip along;
And nearer, nearer, nearer still ..4
l see them rushing to the hill
They've reached the spot upon the grass
Is seated many blooming lass, II
Whose flashing eye and glowing cheek,
And joyous heart, Of pleasure speak.
Their rattling tongues, that bachlors rack,
10 And prove the power of woman's clsck,
Are heard above the City's din
Like scores of tinkers hammering tin
No sound Of wheels upon the bay ... -...
Is heard when all their clappers play;
OF truant beaux and Shanghais too, ,..i
%. They chatter till the stars peep through
And louder, louder, louder still
Their CAB is heard upon the Hill!
Yes. joyous are the Brooklyn girls
When evening breezes fan their curls,
And titful zepyrs cool the brow
As fresh pumped water cools COW!
But bark mosquitoes hover near,
And tender bellies their buglcs hear!
And pismires wandering througtthe grass,
q Der ivory skins have dared to pass
Up, up, and off -the thought affrighss-
The lasses rush from Brooklyn Heights;
Without a glance cast Ger the bay,
They hurry on their homeward way,
And faster, faster, faster still
Their rafting hoops vacate the hill!

SINGULAR EFFECT OF ELEcTRI CITY ON
NEcRoss.-A gentleman residing few
miles out of town, recently carried home
q small electrical machine for making some
experiments. As soon as he got home,
the negroes, as usual focked around him,
eager to see what master had got. There
was boy among those darkies, that had
evinced strong disposition to move things
when they wanted moving, or in other
words to pilfer occasionally.
Nav jack says his master, look
here this machine is to make people tell
the truth and if you have stolen any
thing, or lied to me, it will knock you
down. .....
why, master says the boy. I never
lied or stole anything in my life.'
We'll, take hold of this : and no sooner
had the lad received a slight shock, than
he fell on his knees and bawled out
oh, master I did steal your cigars
and little knife, and have lied ever so
many times please to forgive me-
The same experiment was tri.d with like
success on half dozen juveniles. At
last an old negro who had been looking
on very attentively, stepped up, and
said
Master let dis niger try. Dat ar
masheen is well enuf to scar de children
wild. but dis niger knows better
The machine was fully charged, and
ne received stunning shock. He look
ed first at his hand, then at the machine,
and at last rolling his eyes, exclaimed:
Master it aint best to know too much,
Oars many q soul gifts to be damned by
knowing too much an it's my 'pinion
