and vigorous. rclaxes its labors, and the memo

secret fountains, enriching, rejoicing and ferti-

the soul, assuming heavenly lustre, is no long

but scars far beyond the winter Of h0ary age,
and dwells peacefully and happily upon that
bright spring and summer which await him
within the gates of Paradise, svermorc Lot AS
strive for and look trustingiy forward to an In

{ Pssvscr1os or TIE Mrsp.-Mental perfection
should bo tho great aim Of life. To this end
6hould all our labors, struggles, and prayers tend
III youth, in manhood, in age, we should seek
to render more perfect our powers Of mind.
We are mover too old, and but few weeks too
young for mental Improvement. TO perfect
our minds we must contemplate perfect objects,
both in the material and spiritual universe.
We must dwell much upon these objects. We
must appropriate their perfections to our own
mental use cherish, admire, love them We
must look for beautiful things that images Of
beauty may throng our minds. We must cul.
tivAts amiable feelings, that harmony Of soul
ray enrich the inner temple with tho music ol

)hdon, that in our daily walk the halo of angel
knay surround US. Dsformity will not make
51r6ore perfect. Vice will not help US in our
a1x. The artist never studies dcformity to
6gment his treasure Of beauty Tho musiciar
hever makes discords and hearkens to them
thereby to cultivate the sense Of harmony and
beauty in his soul. So in life, we should sur.
round ourselves with the best objects. We
should seek the company Of sweet thoughts,
lovely objects, amiable feelings pleasant words,
good Offices. These help to perfect our minds.
Our thoughts are the chisels which carve the
statuary Of our souls. They do it we'll or i'll as
they are right or wrong. Bad thoughts are en-
smies worse than all outward ones.
DIR. Charming says, "The perfection Of mind
is, to have a propensity to seek agreeable and
and interesting objects; to have attention turn
spontaneously to beauties of nature, excellence
ofhuman charactcr-Gods perfections. A mind
thus filled is always improving always happy.
A mind which turns to disagreeable things, par
ty agtations, future uncertainties, etc, must
be depraved. All objects may be viewed as ex-

A TRUE WIFE.-She is no true wife who sus-
tains not her husband in the day of calamity !;
who is not, when the worlds great frown makes
the heart chill with anguish, his guardian angel,
growing brighter and more beautiful as misfor-
tunes crowdaround his path. Then is the time
for trial of her gentlencss-then is the time
for testing whether the sweetness Of her tenn
per beams only with transient light, or like
the steady glory Of tho morning star, shines as
brightly under the clouds. Has she smiles just
as charmingr Docs she say, "Affliction can
not touch our purity, and should not quench
our lover" Docs she try, by happy little in
burden of thought?
There are wivcs-nol there are beings who,
when dark hours come, fall to repining and up
braiding-thus adding to outside anxiety har-
rowing scenes Of domestic strife-as if the blame
in the world would make one hair white or
black, or change the decree gone forth. Such
know not that our darkness is heavens light
our trials are but steps in golden ladder, by
which, il we rightly ascend, we may at last gain
that eternal light, and ba hc forever in its full
ness and beauty.
"Ls that aUi" and the gentle face of the wife
beamed with Joy. Her husband had beon on
the verge of distraction-all his earthly posses
sions were gone, and he feared the result Of her
knowledge, she had been so tenderly cared for
all her life! But, says Irvings beautiful story,
"a friend advised him to give not sleep to his
eyes, nor slumbcr to his oyelids, until no had
unfolded to her his haplcss case"
And that was her answer, with the smile OF
an angel" Is that all? feared by your sad
ness it was worse. Let these things be taken

NATURAL HIsroRY-THE FLIRT.-This brilliant
insect of the butterfly species is common to all
ATTITUDES, but fourishes best in warm climate
It rcvcls in the atmosphere Of tho ball room,
matinee, the artistic reunion; and while it loves
publicity, il is not 10th to lurk in shaded alcoves
or to nestle among cushions in quiet corners.
The plumagc of tho female firt is very daz-
sling. 1t is clad in the most radiant smiles and
compliments of the softcst and most delicate
shades, while its eyes have strange, and pens-
trating lustrc.
1t diffuses faint yet thrilling perfume,
caught from crushed flowers, scent-bags, billet
doux Its music is low persuasive hum. 1t
can be true to no tune, but sings snatches and at
the piano runs over the keys with light and
trcmulous touch.
The volatility of this insect has long pcrplcxed
naturalists. 1t battles pursuit. Strange to say,
1t dissolvcs to the touch, and when caught, it is
a handful Of ashes cold and colorless.
The sting of the fiirt is very severe. Some
say IL is poisonous. Instances have boen known
where it has proved fatal to happiness and hope.
It is inflicted with perfect impartiality, but
seems to strike deepest into tho fresh and honest
hearts
The firt languishes at the first chill breath of
sorrow. When storm is in the air il is pitiful
to see il seeking shelter, its gay plumagc 80
beaten and soiled and the color and tho perfume
gono, and the low inviting music changed to q
despaifing plant.
The flame that it flutters around generally
burns at last as is the case with many poor
moth.-V Vanity Fair.

A JOURNEY UNDER PARn.-A correspondent
of Q Swedish Journal furnishes an Interesting
account of subtcrranean voyage made throuea.
ono Of the admirably constructed sewers OF Pnr'
ris. The boat which conveyed the party wns
reached by descending fight Of steps to the
depth of about forty-five feet. The boat nee-
bottomed affair, was lighted BY four lampa:
The sewer is an archway, fifteen feet high, and
of equal breadth, with ditch or canal about
ten feet wide, wherein all the dirt and f:th 81
Paris is carried away. On the sides are SIDE
walks, which together arc about four feet wide.'
The whole is built of beautiful white sandstone
and is kept remarkably neat and clean. No
stencil or bad odor was pcrceptible. The dcno-
or portion Of the filth is carried away through
large drains beneath the sidewalks. The side
walks are excellent, AID exhibited no signs o.
dampuess while the walls of the archway ars
kept whitcwsshcd, and are 1t all times ss~httss
as the driven snow. Tho structure possesscs
the qualities of an immense speakng-tube, the
workmen being able to converse at tho distance
of two miles from each other The echo Is very
built after q model of the catacombs Of Rome,
aided by all the latest improvements On both
sides, at about two hundred yards distance from
one another, are openings through which the
workmen can ascend by means Of permanent
iron ladders, In case a sudden rain storm
should cause the water to rise over the sidewalks,
which is, however, Of rare occurrence.
The contents of the sewer Of course flow into
the river Soine and tho current is sufficient to
carry the, boat used along with considerable ve-
locity. Large reservoirs are constructed at in
tervals, into which the water can be turned for
a short time in case it shonld be necessary to
have the canal dry for little while. Tho whole
work was completed in two years. Besides the
main canal, there ara many minor ones con-
structed under the principal streets, oil of which
can be made to communicate with one another
These admirable underground works are access
ible from the Louvre, the Tuilleries, and from
all the barracks, and should tho Parisans tako
notion to barricadc the streets in any part of
the city, the Imperial Government might, at
short notice and without any person being aware
of it, transport troops, and If there is time to
make use Of the reservoirs, 80 can cavalry also
be transported tho same way. There is an end
to shooting on the soldiers rom the windows,
and revolution in Paris will soon only be re-
mcmbcrod among things which have ben, never
to occur again. Through these underground
passages prisoner can easily be taken from
the Louvre to the 6sisc without attracting at
tonton, and thence sent by railway which is
near at hand. This splendid system of sewer
age was one of tho pet schemes Of the first Ma
poleon.

SeoUEsrnArIoN.-On Saturday last, the

came down from Washington but did not

certain contractors, through Mr.. Smith,
OF Pittsburg, upon judgement against
the road of twenty-one thousand dollars.
have scqucstratcd the property of the COM
pnnv. The design of the parties making
the scqucstration, as will be understood
bv the use of the word, is to hold the road
until the profits have paid the demand for
which it is taken To this, the authorities
of the road. as we are informed, refused to
submit, and thus the matter stands in
nbcyuncc. There was considerable cx-
element about the depot in consequence
of the non-dcparture of the train at the
usual time, and eager enquiries were insti-
tuted as to the cause. The passengers,
mails, &C., were conveyed to Washington
in the evening by hacks.
