speavy IN every whisper, reads fell
purpose in every look. One thus IN
fortunately situated is truly an object
of pity. From him the enjoyments Of
society are cut off. Friendship ceases
to throw around his heart its gentle
ties; and he feels like one "alone and
deserted in the world. He fears to
trust others, and thus is cut off from
the cheering sympathy of kindred
hearts. In sadness he treads the lone
ly path of solitary misanthropy, I'M
blest and undressing, without one ray
of cheering comfort to gladden. his
spirit. Such a state of feeling should
be sedulously guarded against byall,
as it is most destructive of personal
comfort, and a constant annoyance to
hose with whom the unfortunates are
called to associate. A trusting, hope
i'll spirit is source Of constant happi.
ness, and should always be cultivated
With care.

small bit of shortening, or three table
spoonfuls of cream with the -four; put
a tea spoonful of saleratus into your

Nashville have suffered much from
the scarcity of water and fuel during
this cold spell. The river has been
frozen over with ice eight or nine inch

also preventing coal from coming

Campbell referred to the experiences
Of an editor in the following manner

peculiar force just at this particular
time: ...,....-,..
"There are some pitiable little things

we'll as elsewhere. Something, per.
haps, is sent for insertion so late that
it reaches the Office on the morning of
publication, just when going to press
or when there is already more matter
in type than can be admitted, and
whole columns stand over The com.
munication--a triae it may be--does
not appear. Immediately they write
by the return ofpost, expressing great
surprise and prodigious disappoint-
ment, and perhaps order the paper to
be discontinued. Now certainly this
is not encouraging; but it is utterly

AT other times some sentiment is
advanced which does not please sub
scriber--and the offence may proceed
from his own ignorance Of the real
case--and he becomes indignant that
the editor should vent opinions contra.

says. II will not stand i'll Send in
my account"
These are things by which thought
less men illustrate their own folly, and
degrade themselves-they have given
up the paper, they think, forsooth, they
have done something manly. They
have merely turned their back on a
friend ,oho DESCRIBED other and better
treatment"

Thus hushins thee

Like evening breeze
Through whispering trees,
Till memory and the lay
Float dreamily away.

An exchange says:
The New Year, contrary to the ex-
pectations Of those who witnessed the
exit Of the old, came in smilinsy and
beauteously. Yesterday was aspret-
ty day as one could wish, and al our
citizens appeared to enjoy it hfartily.
1t was just cool enough to be bacing,
and the sun shone just brightly enough
to bestow upon all objects peasant
and golden hues. A New Yea never
blessed the world with tokensof more
genial promise.

es, as it were, and dispensedthe hos.

is proverbial. Conviviality good feel

reconciled to one another Blessings

ADVICE TO THE YOUNG.

Young persons should always BE-
very careful of their habits, for theil
youthful habits are sure to form their
future character, if persevered in. -
We have seen some young men, and
ladies too, seeming to wish to appear
peculiar. Now, we beg all such to
stop right there and recollect that Pc
culiarities in persons of ordinary sta
tion appear contemplate. John Ran
dolph might have eccentricities which
would not be censured, but in other
men would be despised. If we would
initiate Caesar let US initiate his vir.
tues not his vices. A young man act.
ing the prude is despicable thing,
yet some strive to initiate that char
acter. Allow old maids to exercise
this priviliges-it strictly is their right
by prescription, but not otherwise
We have noticed some strange con.
trarieties in such persons; for in
stance, we once knew a young man
who would appear disguised at a
rumpled collar or bosom, who wore a
very dirty shirt. He would be shock

his hands, yet he would, when helping
himself to biscuit in a plate, take uT
four or five and squeeze them in hi.
fingers before taking one to his plate
"a most ill-bred practice. He coult
not bear to be helped to anything up
on the knife of the carver, but woule
invariably lick his knife before helping
himself to butter. We are glad tt
say, however, he did not live in Ten

Young persons should never try t,
attract notice by their peculiarities.
1t is always best for young people t,
study the art Of being agreeable in so

DO THEY MISS Ne AT HOME !


Do they miss me at home, o they miss mo!
'Twould be an assurancelnost dear,
To know that my name wa forgotten,

And do those who were won't ID asst me,
