Rest satisfied with doing well, and
leave others to talk of you what they
please.
The present is bright speck between
the darkness of the future and twilight
of the past.
Keep your temper in disputes. The
cool hammer fashions the red-hot iron to
any shape needed.
A hospitable man is never ashamed Of
his dinner when you come to dine with
him.
No human art or ingenuity, can pro-
duce anything equal in beauty and per-
lection to the eye.
Passion has its foundation in nature !;
virtue is acquired by the improvement Of
our reason.
The domestic heart is the proper place
for old age-white heads seems out of
place in the marts of traffic.
One of the most difficult things a man
has to learn, is when to retire gracefully
from the stage of life.

proposes to build ship, 1000 feet in
length, seventy feet beam, and only thirty
feet from deck to keel, making her per-
fectly fiat bottomed, and her sides nearly
sqnare. In size she would be 10000

From the New York Mercury
THE ANGEL AT THE GRAZ f.

BY CLIO.
An angels from the world OF bliss,
Come on a natal tour,
To guard an erring child of this
In tribulation's hour:
He viewed the myriad lights which fill
Our sad terrestrial sphere,
And deemed that darkness lowered still
Above our pathway here
The sky-born meteor twins, to him,
Who saw the light of heaven, seemed dim.
One spot, more dark than all the rest,
Now meets his angel glance:
a hearse, with sable plumage dress'd,
And mournful trains, advance.
His pinions bear his form serene
To earth's supremest care
Then, fleeing to the grave, unseen,
He waits the mourners there,
With many curious, wondering thought.
Which heavens innocence had brought
They come Heart-heayings, Unsurpassed
Burst from the living there
Till, when the coffin greets its rest,
The climax of Despair
Scorning the puny power of mind
To hold her in her cell
Flies to the sister moaning wind,
And signs her sad farewell
it'll one wild burst of phrenzied woe,
To the poor, lifeless thin below
The angel saw the anguish wild,
And all his pity gave;
Then knelt, as he had seen a child,
Who decked its mothers gravel
Father p he cried, ''if It's thy will,
Let no such scene of death
Be viewed by thy poor child, who still
Hath but an angels breath;
And, when the living veil their dead,

FIGHT OVER DEAD IRIsHMAN.-At
Chicopee Falls, on Monday last, Hiram
Munger and David Rathbun, who had
been employed by the town authorities to
bury an Irishman, who had died of the
small pox, proceeded to the house to con-
vey the body to the Catholic Cemetery,
when desperate resistance was made by
some twenty or thirty men and woman
who had gathered for "wake." After a
conflict which lasted more than an hour
in which the "knock-down argument
was freely used, the two men got the cof-
fin, minus the lid, but containing the
body, into a wagon, and drove to the
cemetery, which the entered, locking the
gate, and accomplished they interment of
the body, despite the efforts Of the rabble
who followed them. 1t was an opera
ton which few men would have been
willing to undertake.

EVENING Hours FOR MECHANICS.

EVENING Hours FOR MECHANICS
What have evening hours done for me-
chanics who had only ten hours toll?
Harken to the following facts
One of the best editors the Westmin-
ster Review could ever boast, and one of
the most brilliant writer's of the passing
hour, was a cooper in Aberdeen. One ot
the editors Of the London Daily Journal
was baker in Elgin; perhaps the best
reporter of the London Times was wea-
yer in Edinburgh; the editor of the Wit
ness was stone mason One of the
ablest ministers in London was a black
smith in Dundee another was watch
maker in Banff. The late DR.. Milne, of
China, was herd-boy in Rhyme The
principal Of the London Missionary So
ciety's College at Hong Kong was sad
dler in Huntley, and one of the best
missionaries that ever went to India was
a tailor in Keith. The leading machinist
on the London and Birmingham Railway,
with e700a year, was mechanic in
Glasgow, and perhaps the very richest
iron founder in England was a working
man in Morap. Sir James Clarke, her
Majesty's physician, was a druggist in
Bantf. Joseph Hume was sailor first
and then laborer at the morter and pes
tie in Montrose; Mr.. McGregor, the MEM
Der from Glasgow, was poor boy in
Rosshire. James Wilson, the member
from Westbury, was ploughman i'll
Haddington, and Arthue Anderson, the
member for Orkney, earned his bread by
the sweat of his brow in the Untina
Thule. These men, however, spent their
leisure hours in acquiring useful know
lege. They could not have reached the
eminence they did, hanging around hose
and engine houses, or wasting hours
away in taverns.
Who would not be Mechanic, to be
classed with such brilliant array of the
worlds gifted and exalted. Can the
ranks of stuck-up sno6be,y produce any
thing to compare with it.

The mug was furnished; but before
putting it to his lips, the imbiber said,
"Whose ale did you say this was?'
"Harman's. repeated the bartender.
The mug was exhausted, and also the
vocabulary of praise; and it only remain
ed for the appreciated gentleman to say,

Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
TO strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland Il Jakeman-mark',th the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or nesghbor,
They'll charge but moderate fot their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
SO walk around, and give them call.
