The Secret of Happiness.
AN INSTRUCTIVE STORY.

"On, how I wish we were rich - said
1 to my wife one day.
"My DEAR" she replied, "you must
not be discontented, we have every com.
fort-what more can we desire ?"
"Oh, there are hundred things
large house, carriage, fine library,
and know not what
"Itis a sin to fly in the face of Gods
providence" replied my wife. "Our
houre is plenty large enough for our
small family, as for carriage we
should have no use for it-and then we
subscribe to the Mercantile Library
You can get any book you want from
there. Believe me, my love, we have
every reason to be satisfied with our lot,
and instead of repining, ought to thank
God for it,"
And the dear little woman came over
to me-put her arms around my neck -
no, I made mistake, she is too short
for that,--pulled my face down to hers
and kissed me.
Dear reader, I must tell you that my
name is Jonathan Clutterwell, and that
I have the privilege of writing NJ. D. af-
ter my name, as a diploma from the
University Medical College in New
York, now hanging in my bedroom,
amply testifies. Twas born In Virginia,
and Of course belong to the F. f. VS. :;
1 hope you will make no mistake on this
point. At the time I commence this
history 1 had been living for upwards of
four years in Madison street, in the city
of Baltimore. I had scraped together
a very fair practice, and, as my wife
said, we had every comfort. But still l
was not satisfied; there was Mr.. b.
kept his carriage, Professor G. had q
large, fine house, with ever so many ser
wants, and DR.. D. had very large libra
ry, while I could get all my books in
a moderate size bookcase. I wanted to
jump to the top of the ladder at once
I did not like this waiting for fortune
it was altogether too slow, too tedious a
process for me- The result of all was,
became discontented, cross, peevish
1 was easily annoyed, and my natural
good temper stood in great danger of
being forever destroyed.
My wife, however, exercied a good
deal of influence over me-soothiDg my
rufled spirits and pouring balm upon
the troubled waters. She was dear,
good girl 1 don't believe it was posi-
BILE for there to be another woman like
her in the world. She was the epitome
of goodness. She was -- but why
should I go on? Words cannot express
half her good qualities. I must leave
it to the readers Imagination to fill up
the portrait. She also belonged to the
IF.F. V.'s. We had been brought up
together from childhood, had always
loved each other, and you might search
all the United States through and you
would not find happier marriage than
ours
The conversation opening my story
occurred on the 3lst day of December,
1856. We were undressed. for bed, and
had had few friends to spend the even,
ing with us. had been beaten three
games of chess, running and that might
perhaps, have had something to do with
increasing my discomfort.
Well, as 1 before said, my wife came
over and kissed me; this soothed my
feelings little, and without more grumb-
ling jumped into bed.
I dreamed-I scarcely know what ]

One by One.


One by the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall
Same are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy. whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach
One by one (bright gifts from Heaven,)
joys are sent thee here below,
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them GO.
One by one the griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow
See how small each moments pain,
God viii help thee for to-morrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly,
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown and holy,
fthou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond;
Nor. the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven but neby one
Take them, least the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

CoFFEE.-Under our financial and commercial head,
this morning, will be found the annual statement OF
coffee of H. I. Lonsdale, Son Co. 1t exhibits all
the features in this important branch of trade into our
port showing an increase in imports for the year end
ing the 30th of June, 1857 of 1850 bags, frac-
ton over 20 per CT 1t appears that coffee from Cuba
is entirely ignored We take the liberty of correcting
the none, and desire to remark that the Queen of
the Antilles is not altogether forgotten, for though
the trade with that island is like the handle of the
jng--a one sde-there have been two bags of the
favore grain imported from thence, say $50 pounds,
in the month of March last against lOSs5 bags last
| year. We have hopes for Cuba yet. We commend
| the circular to the attention of our readers.

The FOURTH OF JULy.-As usual on the return of
this great anniversary there will be various opportu
mites to pass this national holiday Many years ago
the extent of the opportunities to leave the city did
not exceed the old Bayou St. John, to which place
omnibuses now run every fifteen minutes A few
years afterwards road was made to the lake shore
on the tortuous banks of the bayou. Subsequently
the late Henry Elkins erected very comfortable
hotel on the ruins or foundation of the Fort ST. john
which could be reached after hour or two's ride.
A few years afterwards the Pontchartrain Railroad
was opened so that citizens had the enjoyment of
the lake breezes at moderate expense At the pre-
sent moment our citizens have greater advantages,
with diversified ways Of enjoying some hours of sea
breezes at a moderate expense. This refreshens our
mind to suggest the various modes and places for
spending the nations birthday This evening, on the
arrival Of the o'clock train of at Pontchartrain,
the lake packet Creole departs for Ocean Springs and
intermediate landings. The Washington Artillery
embark on board of this boat to celebrate tomorrow
at Pass Christian. On tomorrow morning the steam
propeller Robert Waterman leaves on the arrival of
the morning IL oclock) train for Biloxi and Pasca
goula, returning on Sunday evening. From the lake
end Of the Carrollton and Jefferson Rafoad the good
steamer VIM Bagaley leaves on the arrival of the a:20
train Of cars for Bay st. Louis, Pass Christian Mis-
sissippi City, Biloxi and Ocean Springs. This will
afford passengers full days enjoyment on the lake
and landing them also before dark at all the fore
| going landings. The mail boat will also leave a.
usual at meridian Those who desire inland recreation
will have the Opelousas and jackson Railroads Nov
we are going ourselves to enjoy the Fourth, and w

IRON AND STEAM VS.. WooD AND CANVAS A
British publication predicts that before the end of
this century there will not probably be wooden hull
navigating the Atlantic under canvas. Upwards of
eighty steamers mostly screw propelers. are being
built in England for the Atlantic trade. In this
country it is said that there is not single pro-
peller on the stocks 1t may well be asked how the
mercantile interest of the United States intend to
maintain themselves against this great competition,
unless they prepare at for the struggle The in
dications are plain that wood and canvas will be
perceded by iron and steam, and those who first
prepared for the change will long enjoy superiority in
the advantages. ...
