DON'T BE DISCOURAGED

Don't be discouraged, if in the outset of
life things do not 60 smoothly. 1t seldom
happens that the hopes we cherish of the
future are realized. The path of life IN the
prospect, appears smooth and level enough :;
but when we come to travel il. we find it
up hill and generally rough. The journey
is laborous one, and whether poor or
wealthy, high or low, We shall find it so to
our disappointment, if we have built upon
any other calculation. To endure cheer
fully what must be, and to elbow our way
as easily as we car, hoping for little, yet
striving for much, is perhaps the true plan.
But don't DO discouraged, if occasionally
you slip by the way and your neighbors
tread over you a little; in other words,
don't let a failure or two dishearten you.-
Accidents happen, miscalculations will he
made, things will often turn out differently
from our expectations, and we may be the
sufferers. 1t is worth while to remember
that fortune is like the skies in April, some
times cloudy, and sometimes clear aud
favorable; and it would be folly to despair
OF again seeing the sun, because to-day is
stormy; SO it is equally unwisc to sink in
to dcspondcncy when fortune frowns, since,
i'll common course of things, she may be
surel y expected to smile again. And again ;
don't be discouraged if you are deceived in
the people of the world. 1t often happens
that men wear borrowed characters, as well
rs borrowed clothes and sometimes those
who have long stood fair before the world
are rotten to the core. From sources such
as these, you may be most unexpectedly
deceived, and will naturally feel sore under
such dccep'iuns-but to these you must
become used. If you fare as most people
do, they will lose their novelty before you
grow gray, and yun will learn to trust men
cautiously, examine their character closely
before you allow them opportunities to in
Jnrc you. Don't be discouraged under any
circumstances; so steadily forward. Rath.
er consult your own conscience than the
opnon OF men, though the last is not to
hc disrcganlci Bc industrons---Lc frugal
be honcst--dcal in perfect kindness with
all who come in your way, exercising !,
"eighborIy and obliging spirit in your in
tercourse ; and if you do not prosper as
rapidly as your ncigl'bors, depend upon it
you will he rs happy.

Heat from the .Sturs.-Doctor Lardncr

Heat from the iStars-Doctor Lardncr
says at is n startling fact, that if tho
earth were dependent alone upon tho sun
for heat, it would not get enough to make
the existence Of animal and vegetable life
! upon its surface. 1t results from the re-
searches of PouiIlct, that the stars furnish
heat enough in the course of Il year to
melt n crust of ice Is feet thick, almost as
much as is supplied hy the sun. This NAV
appear strange when we consider how inn
mcaSnrahly small must bc the amount of
heat received from any one of these dis
tant bodies. But the surprise vani$hcs,
when we remember that the whole iir,na
ment is 80 thickIv sown with stars, that in
some places thousands are Gro w,l,,l together
within space no greater than that occ,l

Interesting Scientific Thcory.-Rcccnt
investigations in science have rendered il,
probable shat matter, in addition to the
three separate states or consistencies in
Which it is ordinarily presented to us
solid, liquid and gaseous-cxis,s also in IL
fourth state, which is called the e,le, eal.-
1t is supposed that all space--lhat existing
between the planets and other heavenly
bodies, equally with that existing between
the atoms, or molecules of every substance,
even the most dense-is pervaded by an ex
tremely rare, impondcrabIe and highly
elastic medium, or fluid form of matter,
termed ether. This substance, like air, is
believed to be capable Of motion, and Of re
ceIving and transmitting vibrations, which
vibrations, by their action on the ordinary
forms of matter, arc supposed to produce
the phenomena Of heat, light, electricity,
&c, in the same manner as the vibrations
of air, occasioned by sounding body, pro
duce the phenomena Of sound.

Advertising.-One of our exchanges
says that disseminating advertising is like
taking down ones sigma sort of retire.
ment from business, and the public treat it
as such. Or they may regard it rs evi.
dence that something has gone wrong in
the business which requires privacy from in
vestigation. Whatever construction NAV
be put upon il, the result is disastrous.-
Now, we advise all our readers who NAV
have fallen into the common error of the
season, to come out of their holes, to put
up their signs once more, and 10 advertise
in rs many papers as they did in the best
times. While business creates business; it
creates talk and stir in business circles,
and reminds people that they have no right
to be leading droBe lives, even though the
time be dull. And even in the worst of
times, advertising always pays well, and
the more Of it there is, the greater will be
the circulation Of monev, and The sooner
will be restored condition Of prosperity.

Dcuf and Dumb Compositors.-In Ger.

Dcuf and Dumb Compositors-In Ger
many, at the birthplace OF printing, n great
interest is still felt in all that pertains to
that art. An event has recently taken
place at Zab!agcn, in Wurtcmburg which
is attracting considerable notice. NJ. Theo-
dore Algerad, who has long shown mucl,
sympathy for tho deaf and dumb, had con-
ceived that those who were suffering under
that calamity might bo uscfulIy and profi,a-
bIy employed in the printing office. Fol
lowing out this idea, that gentleman has
now in his employment one hundred and
sixty operatives who arc deaf and dumb
and OF whom eleven arc females, all of
whom he h@s, at his own expense, and per
sonally, instructed to such an extent that
they are now expert compositors. The
government Of Wurtcmburg have thought
that this experiment., of which the object
was to give work and sustenanco to many
Of this class Of unfortunates, is well dcserv
ing OF encouragement and Of acknowledge
ment, and the king has, in the mean time,
given orders that large gold medal should
be presented to the director of this new and
silent printing office, in testimony of
the high sense which his majesty cntcr
tains OF M. Al3crars benevolent under
taking.
