you envied him the fine times he I'd he had,
and the fine things you saw he had, and half

that the sun would wilt him, the wind tan

But he is not to be blamed for all this;
he is the victim of a system that treats chill

never mistrusts that the honey is born from

INSECTS must lead truly jovial life. Think
what it must be to lodge in lily. Imagine
a palace of ivory or pearl, with columns of
silver and capitals of gold, all exhaling such
a perfume as never arose from human censer.
Fancy again, the fun of tucking yourself up
for the night in the folds of rose, rocked to
sleep by the gentle sighs ofa summers air,
and nothing to do when you awake but to
wash yourself in a dew-drop and fall to and
and eat your bed-clothes.

To CLEAR A ROOM OF MosourroEs.-A
writer in South Carolina paper says:-"I
have tried the following and find it works
like charm. Take of gum camphor, piece
about one-third the size of an egg, and evap.
crate it by placing it in tin vessel and
holding it over lamp or candle, taking care
that it does not ignite. The smoke will soon
till the room, and expell the mosquitoes
One night, | was terribly annoyed by them
when thought and of tried the above, after
whichI never saw nor heard them that night,
and the next morning there was not one to
be found in the room, though the window
had been left open all night"

lpLENEss.--A large proportion of the mis-
cries and vices of mankind proceeds from idle
ness. With persons of quick minds, to whom
it is especially pernicious, this habit is CON-
monly the fruit of many disappointments
and schemes often baffled. Men fail in their
schemes not so much from want of strength
as from the i'll direction of it, The weakest
living creature, by concentrating its powers,
and using them steadily on single object,
can accomplish something; the strongest,
by dispensing his efforts or intermitting them
often, may fail to accomplish anything
Have right aim, and work faithfully to ac-
cemplish it. Happiness is never gained
without perseverins effort. ...... .

The noblest men know on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toll,
Who. backed by no ancestral graves.
Hew down the earth and till the soil, ..
And win thereby prouder fame
Than follows king or warriors name.
The working men, whate'er their task,
To carve the stone or bear the hod--
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God
And brighter are the drops ofsweat
Than diamonds in cornet!
God bless the noble working men
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines end build the ships,
And drive the commerce ofthe main;
God bless them, 70, their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory Of all lands.
