dq6nd, in a
IL tet "a 81. Vuis gentleman, dated
March 81, $50, tells The following in
eden of his editorial experience:
While | edited the Albany Register,
J offended hotbloodel member Of the
f. F. F.'s Of New York Tie sent a
polite invitation through a freud for me
% isit Baltimore Having no bust
ness ia that direction | declined. He
again through friend, invited me to
visit Canada. Having just returned
from a fishing excursion TO the interior
of her Majesty's colony, and having no
occasion to go that way, | again De
elined.
He then in direct terms, invited me
TO name friend and time weapons and
place, 10 indulge in the pleasant past,
time of cutting each others threats. |
thought the matter over and declined
the third time, assigning the following
reasons
/. The thing was contrary to law
and had no desire to be hung for kill,
ing him.
2 II had wife who loved me, and
would morn for me if I fell; be had
only q mistress. who would rejoice al
his death as relieving her from necess-
lily of flying from his protection to that
| of some other man.
8. | had three children, FIR whose
education was in humor and by nature
bound to provide; he had none.
A. Society had no stake in his life
his continuance would be no blessing,
aud his extinguishment no loss. So
Getty had claims on me; upon him it
had none. had some claims on so
ciety; he had none.
5. I'd see him d I'd first.
And there the has matter rested aye'
since.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINERs.--The
most common error of men and won en-
is that Of looking for happinhss some
where outside of useful work. It has
never yeti been found, when thus
sought; and never will be, while the
world stands; and the sooner this
truth is learned, the better for every
one. If you doubt the proposition,
glance around amoug your friends
and acquaintance, and select those
who appear to have the most eujoy-
ment in life. Are they tbs idIers and
pleasure-seekers, or the earnest wae
ers? We know what your
be.
OF all the miserable human beings
It has been cur fortune, or misfertue,
to know. they were the most wretched
who had retired from useful employ
ments, in order to enjoy themselves.
Why, the slareat his enforced labor,
Or the hungry toiler for bread, we're
snprenaoly happy in comparison.
Earnestly We would press upon
young minds the truth we have stated.
1t lies at the foundation of all we'll
doing, and well being. II gives tran
guilty and pleasure to the youth just
stepping across the threshold of ra-
tional life, as well as to the man whose
years are beginning to rest upon his
STOPPING shoulders. Be ever engaged
in useful work, if you be happy. Thi:
is the great secret.-Aurthur's Maya
zine.
