SYDNEY SMITH ON ENJoYNENr.--The great wit
and reviewer never penned wiser and truer words
than these
Mankind are always happier for having been
happy so tina if you make them happy now
you make them happy twenty years hence by the.
memory of it. A childhood passed with n due
mixture of rational indulgence, under fond ard
wise parents. ditfuses over the whole of life a feel.
ing Of calm pleasure. and in extreme old age is
the very last remembrance which time can erase
from the mind of man. No enjoyment, however
uncomfortable. is confined to this present moment.
A man is the happier for life for having once
made an agreeable tour, or lived for any length
of time with pleasant people. or enjoyed any con.
siderable interval Of innocent pleasure ; which
contributes to render old men so inattenliys to the
scenes before them. and carries them back to a
world that is past and to scenes never to be re-
newed again."

A Observation-Disclosures Sabbath evening

A MIsoALoULATIoN.-Last Sabbath evening q
gentleman of this town made arrangements to
spend the evening with friend, but on going
home his wife insisted upon his accompanying
her to church, and taking with them their child,
boy of three years. As matter of course he
went, but was much dissatisfied with the ar
rangement, and while on the way was busy con-
ceivirg ways and means to dodge. At last he
hit it. During the first prayer he would pinch
the boy-the boy would squall, then, as mat
Ter Of course, he would be obliged, to take him
home, and then he would be free the remainder
of the evening. 1t worked to charm with
one triaing exception; he piuched viciously,
the lad bawled Justify, aud bis progenitor started
out hastily; but unfortunately, just as he was
leaving the pew. the infant shrieked, in tone
sufficiently loud to be heard half way across the
church, Mamma! Papa ispinching mel" The
look of commingled cateness and satisfaction
on the face of the pincher, changed in an instant
to one of painful sheepishness, as he subslded
into his seat and braced himself for the coming

EXCAVATIONS AT ATHENs.--The Archaeology
cal Society of Athens is actively proceeding
with excavations in the vicinity Of the Temple
of Theseus, and fragments of architecture and
sculpture are continually being discovered. A
lnong other objects recently tound was an an
cient inscription, in which the form OF the char.
acters warrants the conjecture that they were
written from right to lett. 10 the course of dig
gings ON the Acropolis there were recently found
IN The cistern in front of the Parthenon some
remnants OF the best period OF ancient Greek
sculpture, consisting ot small male and female
figures. Fragments of Inscriptions were like
wise found and it is hoped that further search
will bring to light the portions requisite to sd-
init of their being FULLY declphered. Among
the fragments recently dug up one Of the most
relnar kable Is horses foot, which is supposed
to belong to the sculptures of the Parthenon.
There is also colossal hand, which it is con-
iectured may have belonged to the statue of
Neptune, aud il so it is the baud that held the
trident. In front of the Parthenon, and extend
ing along the whole breadth of the ediice,
eight Steps were cut inthe rock of the Acropolis.
These steps are now uncovered. Many of the
objects, which are continually being dug up, are

THE BEST SEWING MAoHINE.-Punch, OF tile
5th March, contains the following admirable
description Of an old fashioned sewing machine,
which every Bachelor should possess:
The very best sewing machine q man can
have is wife. 1t is one that requires but
kind word to set it in motion, rarely gets out OF
repair, makes but little noise, is seldom the cause
of dust, and once in motion, will 60 on unin'
terruptedly for hours, without the slightest trim
ming, OF the smallest personal supervision being
necessary 1t will make shirts, darn stockings,
sew ON buttons, mark pocket handkerchieis, cut
out pinafores, and manufacture children's frocks
out of any old thing you may give it; and this
it will do behind your back just as we'll as be
fore your iace. In fact you may leave the house
tor days, and it will go on working just the
same. II it does get out of order little, from
being overworked, it mends itself by being left
alone for short time, after which it reforms to
its sewing with greater yigor than ever. OF
course sewing machines vary q great DEAL
Some are much quicker than others. 1t depends
in a vast measure upon the particular pattern
you select. Ifyou re fortunate in picking out
the choicest pattern of wife-one, for instance,
that sings whilst working, and seems to be never
SO happy as when the husbands linen is in hand
the sewing machine may be pronounced per-
feet of its kind; SO much so, that there is no
make-shift in the world that Can possibly replace
it, either for love or money. In short, no gen.
teman's establishment is complete without one
OF these sewing machines in the house.
