IN THE BRITISH COLONIES.

We invoke the earnest attention Of the public to
the following article from the great leading organ
Of Europe, the London Tines, Of December 9th. Ii
il seldom that so much important matter 50 much
valuable truth, so much that is suggestive of grave
and serious thought crowds itself into space Of so
small a compass. II involves question in which
the civilized nations Of the world are more inter
ested perhaps, than any other--a question practi-
cal and The settlement of which cannot be long de-
ferred.
In commencing thus freely the important conside-
rations Of the article we must not be understood as
approving its final conclusion, that the culture Of
the tropics by free labor is not the impossibility
which the partisans of slavery represent"

TENDERNESS OF CONSCIENCE IN A

TENDERNESS OF CONSCIENCE IN A
TRADEsMAN.-Under this title Charles
Lamb gives specimen from Fuller,
In which that old worthy immortali-
yes the name of an humble man.
Here is the story-written about two
hundred years ago, and nobler than
the biography of half the Cesars
"Thomas Cursor, born in Allhal-
lows, Lombard-street, armorer, dwelt
without Bishopsgate. 1t happened
that a stage-player borrowed rusty
musket, which had lain long leger in
his shop: now though his part were
comical, he Herewith acted unex-
pected tragedy, killing one of the
standers-by, the gun casually going
OF on the stage, which he suspected
not to be charged. Oh the differ
ence of divers men in the tenderness
oftheir consciencess! some are scarce
touched with = wound, while others
are wounded with touch therein.
This poor armorer was highly afflicted
Herewith, though done against his
will, yea, without his knowledge, in
his absence, by another, out of mere
chance. Hereupon he resoloved to
give all his estate to pious uses no
sooner had he gotten round sum,
but presently he posted with it in his
apron to tho court of aldermen, and
was in pain till by their direction he
had settled it for the relief of poor in
his own and other parishes, and dis
posed of some hundreds of pounds ac-
cordingly, as l am credibly informed
by the then churchwardens of the
parish. Thus, as he conceived him.

lance 70 have occasioned the death

direct :! cause of giving a comfortable
living to many"

We have known men, upon whose
grounds were old, magnificent trees
of centuries growth, lifted up into
the air with vast breadth, and full Of
twilight at midday, who cut down all
these mighty monarchs, and cleared
the ground bare; and then when the
desolation was completed. and the
fierce summer gazed full into their
faces with its fire, they bethought
themselves of shade, and forthwith set
out a generation of thin, shadowless
sticks, and pinned and waited till they
should stretch out their boughs with
protection, and darken the ground
with grateful shadow.
Truths are first clouds, then rain,
then harvests and food. The philos
ophy of one century is the common
sense of the next. Men are called
fools in one age, for not knowing
what they were called fools for aver
ring in the age before. We should
80 live and labor in our time that
what came to US as seed may 60 to the
next generation as blossom, and that
what came to US as blossom may 90
to them as fruit. This is what we
mean by progress.
What we call wisdom is the result,
not the residuum, of all the wisdom
Of past ages. Our best institutions
are like young trees growing upon
the roots of the old trunks that have
crumbled away.
Never forget what man has said
to you when he was angry. IF he
has charged you with anything, you
had better look it up. Anger is a
bow that will shoot sometimes where
another feeling will not.
Heaven will be inherited by every
man who has heaven in his soul.
"The kingdom of God is within you"
~ Beecher.

The WONDERS OF LIGHT.-Not
only does light fly from the grand 'ru-
Ter Of the day. with velocity which
is a million and a half times greater
than the speed Of a cannon ball, but
it darts from every rejecting surface
with like velocity, and reaches the
tender structure Of the eye so gently,
that, as it falls upon the little curtain
of nerves which is there spread to
receive it, it imparts the most pleas
ing sensations, and tells its story of
the outer world with q minuteness of
detail and a holiness Of truth. Phil
osophers once sought to weigh the
sunbeam. They constructed a most
delicate balance, and suddenly let in
upon it a beam Of light: the lever Of
the balance was so delicately hung
that the Auttering of a fly would have
disturbed it. Everything prepared,
the grave men took their places, and
with keen eyes watched the result.
The sunbeam that was to decide the
experiment. had left the sun eight
minutes prior, to pass the ordeal. It
had flown through ninety millions
Of miles Of space in that short meas
ure Of time, and it shot upon the bal
ance With undated velocity. But
the lever moved not; and the philoso>
piers we're mute.-Scientife Amsri-

The DEVILS TEA-KETTLE.-There
is, probably, no portion of the con-
tinent which affords wider field for
geological research, than the Great
Basin Of Deseret, or Utah. Ir that
solitary, unexplored region are many
curious salt lakes, the vestiges Of q
lost ocean, the waters Of which are
so strongly impregnated with saline
matter that they are little else than
immense reservoirs of salt in solution.
Vast rivers meander for hundreds of
leagues through sterile solitudes, and
at length mysteriously disappear in
the thirsty deserts. Immense de-
posts of soda cause the water, in
certain localities, to seeth and efer>
vesce like boiling cauldrons. Springs
of sulphur, and springs Of boiling hot
water, mountains of show and bur,-
ing plains, smiling vallies and vast
'deposites of subterranean ice, these
and thousand other wonders are to
be seen IN the great American Basin.
Lieutenant So wteIle of the 9th Infan-
try, while on the recent march across
the continent, at q point about forty
miles from where the overland route
first strikes the Humboldt, saw a
very singular natural curiosity, which
per compliment, we will name the
"devil's tea-kettle." On the very
apex Of a conical shaped mound, about
eighty feet in height, was an unfath-
ENABLE miniature lake of warm water
which had no apparent outlet, or in
let. The water was quite tepid and
perfectly translucent, and its surface
was nearly on level with the top Of
the cone which containedit. Various
attempts were made to fathom this
curious basin, bat no bottom could be
found. At the distance Of forty feet
FROM the base Of the mound, were a
number Of gushing fountains, the
water Of which was intensely hot.
Can any one explain the mystery of
the " devils tea-ksttle?" -Mountain
Democrat.

coNNuBlAL FELICITY.

In short, the man was very poor
And, what ~as worse, supremely lasy;
A kind Of trouble hard to cure,
But such rs rarely drives one craEy.
His wife just his proper match,
An idle gossip and 8 slattern,
Whose frock, with time and frequent patch
knew nevermore its native pattern.
They lived, as 'twere, from hand to mouth
She dawdling over pots and kettles,
He in a constant state of drought,
And both in frequent want Of vctuals.

How a Good Wife is to be Won.

I know that men naturally shrink
from the attempt to obtain compan>
ions who are their superiors but
they will find that really intelligent
women, who possess the most desira-
BILE qualities, are uniformly modest,
and hold their charms in modest es-
timation. What such women most
admire in men is gallantry; not the
gallantry of courts and tops, but bold
ness, courage, devotion, decision, and
refined civility. A mans bearing
wins ten superior women where his
boots and brains win one. If a man
stand before a woman with respect for
himself and fearlessness of her, his
suit is half won. The rest may safe
ly be left to the parties most Interests
ed. Therefore, never be afraid of a
woman. Women are the most harm
less and agreeable creatures, to a
man who shows that he has got a
mans soul in him. If you have not
got the spirit in you to come up to
test like this, you have not got that
in you which most pleases high soul
ed woman, and you will be obliged to
content yourself with the simple girl
who, in quiet way, is endeavoring
to attract aud fasten you.
But don't be in a hurry about the
matter. Don't get into a feverish
longing for marriage. 1t isn't cred
liable to you. Especially don't i'm
agine that any disappointment in love
which takes place before you are
twenty-one years old will be of any
material damage to you. The truth
is, that before man is twenty-five
years old he does not know what he
wants himself. So don't be in hur-
ry. The more of a man you become,
the more manliness you become ca.
pable of exhibiting in your associa-
ton with women, and the better wife
you will be able to maintain; and one
years possession of the heart and
hand of really noble specimen Of
her sex is worth nine hundred and
ninety>nine years possession of a
sweet creature with two ideas in her,
and nothing new about either of them
"Better fifty years Of Europe than a
cycle Of Cathay." So don't be in a
hurry, I say again. You don't wan,
wife now, and you have not the
slightest idea of the kind of wife you
will want by and by. Go into female
society if you can find that which
will improve you, but not otherwise
You can spend your time better.
Seek the society Of good men. Tha,
is often more accessible to you thar
the other, and it is through that most.
ly that you will find your way to COCO
female society.-T. Ttcon,b.
