Cheerfulness.

Although cheerful countenance does
not always betoken peace of mind and q
heart at ease, it is the harbinger of good
will, and speaks favorably for the eharac-
ter Of the wearcr. On the other hand, a
sulky appearance is oftener the sign Of
peevishness and displeasure, than of sor-
row OF pain. As politeness. is mans
passport where he is not known, SO good
humor will ensure him continuance OF
favors which his good manners have elic-
tied, and will preserve affections that
beauty and elegance can do little more
than win. Nothing is more amiable than
q constant desire to please, and an unwll-
lingness to offend the taste or hurt the
feelings of a friend. And when this
sweetness of disposition shines out in the
calm, placid countenance, it is the token
at least of a contented mind.
The troubles of life fall lighter when
they are calmly looked for and quietly
received, than when he who must bear
them bears also continual fown. The
less we dwell upon our various burdens,
the lighter they will appear; and if we
must carry them-if misfortune must be
our lot-why aggravate our distress by
reproaches and grievings? and why tell
the world by gloomy looks and bitter
,,ords of the trouble which sympathy
may not relieve? ~ s9
But good nature may be carried too far,
and become the unintentional cause OF
prevarication and deceit; and men are
sometimes found, who, rather than offend
a friend, will stoop to fattery Or down.
right untruth. There are those who use
it to so great an extent that it blinds
their reason, and, like Honeywood in the
play, they satisfy and encourage the ap-
parently charitable demands of those who
have penetration enough to ascertain the
weak points of their "good natured
friend" and brass enough to invent and
carry out their schemes of attack. p"
Good humor, when not weakened by a
universal and indiscriminate charity, is
the most exquisite beauty Of a fine face,
and a redeeming grace in homely one.
1t is like the green in the landscape, har-
monizing with every color, mellowing the
glories Of the bright, and softening the
hue of the dark.

KNOWLEDGE" One fountain there is"
says Miss FredrelSa Bremen, "whose deep
vein has only just begun to throw up its
silver drops among manlzind-a fountain
which will allay the thirst of millions, and
will give to those who drink from it peace
and joy. 1t is knowledge; the fountain
of intellectual cultivation, which gives
health to mankind, makes clear his vision,
brings joy to his life, and breathes over
his souls destiny a deep repose. Go and
drink therefrom, thou whom fortune has
not favored, and thou will soon feel thy
self rich! Thou mayest go forth into the
world and find thyself everywhere at
home; thou canst cultivate thyself IN
thine own little chamber; thy trlends are
ever around thee, and carry on wise con-
versation with thee, nature, antiquity,
heaven are acceptable to thee"

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT. There is but q
breath of air and beat Of the heart, be-
twixt this world and the next. And in
the brief interval of painful and awful
suspense, while we feel that death IL
present with us, that we are powerless
and he all powerful; and the lastfaint pul-
sation here is but the prelude of endless
life hereafter; we feel, in the midst Of
the stunning calamity about to befall US,
that the earth has no compensating good
to mitigate the severity of our loss. But
there is no grief without some beneheene
provision to soften it's intenseness, When
the good and the lovely die, the memory
of their good deedsi like the moonbeams
on the stormy sea, lights up our darkensa
hearts, and lends to the surrounding
gloom, beauty SO sad, SO sweet, that we
would not, if we could, dispel the dark
ness that environs it. u

TOKENS OF AFFECTION There is some
thing in those trifes that friends bestow
upon each other, which is an unfailing in
dication of the place the giver holds in
the affections. / would believe that one
who preserved lock of hair, a simple
flower, or any other trife of my bestow-
ing loved me, though no show was made
of it; while all the protestations in the
world would not win my confidence in
the sincerity of one who set no value on
such little things. Trifes they may be,
but it is by such that character and dis
position are oftenest revealed.

NOZZLE SENT1MENTs.-This is an agree
able world, after all. If we would only
bring ourselves to look at the objects that
surround us in their true light, we should
see beauty where before we beheld de-
formity, and listen to harmony where be-
fore we could hear nothing but discord.
To be sure, there is great deal of anx-
icty and vexation to meet; we cannot ex-
pect to sail on calm summer coast for
ever; yet if we keep.a calm and steady
hand, we can so trim our sails and man.
are our helm as to avoid the quicksands
and weather the storms that threaten
shipwreck. We are members OF ono
great family, we are travelling the same san 9;
road, and shall arrive at the same goal.
We breathe the same air, are subject to
the same bounty, and we shall lie down
in the bosom of our common mother. 1t
is not becoming, then, that brother should
hate brother; it is not right that neigh
Dor should injure neighbor. We pity the,
man who can harbor enmity against his
fellow; he loses half the enjoyment OF
Efe-he embitters his own existence. Let
us tear from our eyes the colored medium
that invests every object with the green
hue of jealousy and suspicion. Turn
deaf ear to the tale Of scandal, breathe
the spirit of charity from our hearts; let
the rich gush ofhuman kindness swell up
fountain, so that the "golden age will
become no fiction, and blessings bloom in
more than aHesperian beauty"
