pressing the poor. and the poor are con-
tent TO live in rags and idleness. Coun-
try dealers in produce, come to town and
exact two prices for all they have to sell,
and the owners of real estate in towns, are
asking double rents, to the injury OF bus

and Corporations, intended for the public
good, have their favoriles, and are partial
in the distribution Of favors. Families
persecute and envy each other. lndlvld-

low origin puton airs, and falsely pre-
tend TO be more than they are. Cheat
ing and misrepresentation, are the order
of the day, generally. In politics, there
is very little patriotism or love otcounIry,
while demagogues seek to misead, and
build up their own fortunes at the haz-
ard of running the country. In religion.
there is more hypocrisy than grace, and

notwithstanding all this, and more. obser-

in counterfeit money, anl diseased hor-
ses, are all over the country. Gamblers,
travelling and local, and resident rogues,
are all on the alert. Pious villains, with
faces as sanciifed as the moral law, are

First Appearance.

Never excite expectations you can I
fulfil. Ii is bad plan 10 put your best
foot foremost, unless you can keep 1t
there. Don't put all your splendid wares
in the front window--reserye some for
the inner shelves. Better leave room for
dealers to say, "the half has not been
told" than that sit is all a cheat!'
Social life has its clap-traps-fne fur
niture in entries and Parlors, but in the
back rooms, rags, dirt, broken chairs and
window panes, and general scanliness.
"All is not gold that gItters, ,"-.as lorex-
ample, the paint on Iady's checks, and
all the gew-g -gaws about her person.
Give us a soil whose fertility will not
be exhausted the first crop; but will in
crease in productiveness the more il Is
cultivated. When new conner blows a
loud trumpet and makes great dash, he's
sure to be swallowed and to run short
race. Receive him cautiously. The
first impression of the best men is often
unlavorabIe--they reveal their goodness
by degrees. 1t crops out at the surface
as coal on a hillside, enough 10 give pro-
mise of vein within, which, the deeper
you explore, becomes thicker and purer.
And though you will find layer OF shade
in the best, such defects will not hinder
the continental growth of your confidence
and esteem--ihe good so prePonderates
over the evil.
Deep waters may have hidden rocks,
but there Is NO navigating small streams.
Judge not after the outward appear
ance, but Judge righteous judgment"
There is a feeling that resembles death
in the last glance we are ever TO bestow
on loved object. The girl you have
treasured in your secret heart, as she pas
ses by on her wedding day, it may be
happy and bIissful lifts up her laughing
eyes-the symbol Of her own light heart;
and leaves, in that look, darkness and
desolaton forever. The boy your faith
er-spirit has cIung TO like the light of
your existence, waves his hand from the
quarter deck--the gigantic ship bends
over the breeze; the tears have dimmed
his eyes, for, mark-he moves his fingers
over them, and this is the last look.
