ADVICE TO SUNDRY PEoPLE.- When you
feel your passions rising never confue or re
strain them. How many boilers have been
burst by too close Imprisonment Of their con
tents.
Always proclaim the faults of others There
should be no secrets in a republican govern
ment.
Never give up yopr opinion, though you
know you are wrong it shows you have indie
pendence.
Whenever you attack your neighbor's char
acter, do it behind his back, so as not TO
wound his feelings.
Make it rule to keep company with rogues
and rascals, and then if you should be prosecu-
ted for an offence you have committed, and
your comrades should be called as witnesses
against you, nobody will believe them, and so
you will get clear.
Never forgive an injury. The power Of
pardoning belongs 10 the Governor and his
Counsel
When you have done an act of charity, pub
lish it to others so that they may do so too.-
Besides, every man can preach best from his
own notes.
Never pay your debts-it is unconstitution-
al; for payment impairs the obligation of a
contract, and even the Legislature has no right
to do that.
When you are at Church, go to sleep
Sunday is day of rest.
If secret has been committed TO you TO
keep, take special care to keep it safely; and
two others to help you. And as woman is
called a weaker vessel she should have half a
dozen to help her.

WHAT ARE They ?-On Thursday evening
we observed the surface of the snow pretty
generally covered with singular sort of little
worm of dark color, nearly black, about as
thick as a common knitting needle, aud mea-
suriDg one.half to an inch in length. These
worms 1--WE know no other name by which to
designate them appear to be full of activity,
creeping over the snow with considerable ra-
pidity, and squlrming about like other worms.
We had a light fall of rain on Thursday, and
as these worms were not observed prior to the
shower il is thought by some, with whom we
have conyersed, that they came down with the
rain.-Ld Porte Messenger

The LAWS OF NATURE.-Sam Slick says =
Yes, yes, nature balances all things admirably,
and has put the sexes, and every individual of
earth on par. Them that have more than
their share of one thing, commonly have less
there amt apt to be much gumpton. A hand
some man, in general way, amt much of q
man. A beautiful bird seldom sings. A fel-
low with one idea grows rich, while he who
calls himself fool dies poor. The world is
like baked meat pie the upper crust is rich,
dry, and puffy the lower crust is heavy,
doughy, and uDdone the middle is not bad
generally but the smallest part of all is that
which flavors the whole"

Columbia the Gem of the Ocean.

Columbia the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free;
The shrine of each patriots devotion,
world offers homage to thee:
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
When Liberty form stands in view,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue,
When borne by the red, white, and blue.
When war winged its wide desolation
And threatened the land to deform,
The ark then of freedoms foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm;
With her garlands of victory around her,
When so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her;
The boast of the red, white, and blue,
The boast of the red, white, and blue.
The wine cup, the wine cup bring hither,
And fill you it true to the brim;
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
Nor the star of their glory grow dim;
May the service united ne'er sever,
But they to their colors prove true,
The Navy and Army forever,
Three cheers for the red white, and blue,
Three cheers for the red white and blue.

CALIFORNIA Nox-PRoDUCERs.- s.-Thc CoIoma
Times says: " We are sometimes asked why
Calforuians, as people, are poor? 10 the
inquiry an exchange makes the reply that there
are fewer producers in California than any
other State to the number of its inhabitants.
Every village, town, and city in the State
of them have never thought of doing anything,
unless the magnanmity of the Legislators may
be aroused in their favor and make an Office
for them to fill, with grace and case"

MORE THOUGHTS FROM CHAP1N.-To shed
upon men an intellectual light-to elevate
them by force of thoughts the noblest of all
missions. Honor to the idealsts, whether
philosophers or poets. They have improved
us by mingling with our daily pursuits great
and traDscendent conceptions They have
thrown around our sensual life the grandeur of
better, and draw us up from contacts with
the temporal and the selfish, TO communion
with beauty, truth and goodness. They do a
great part of the work that is DONE There
must be ideas before action The whole ma
tural world is but the embodiment of IDEAS
The spade in the laborers hand the plough
share iii the furrow, was once an idea. Once
the steamship was only an airy, bodiess thing
sailing through the seas of though: in Fulons
mind. The idealist dies, but his conception
lives in physical agencies that change the face
of nature-in moral movements that bless and
advance humanity.

SLEEP. Whatever may be the time chosen
for sleep, it is evident that no person eau with
impunity convert the day into night Eight
o'clock for children, and eleven for adults, may
be recommended as good hours for retiring to
rest. 1t is well known that children require
more sleep than adults; and more sleep is re-
quisite in winter than in summer. The aver.
age duration of sleep which may be recon-
mended for adults, is eight hours; but much
depends upon habit, and many persons require
only six.

YANKEE lNGENUITY.-T The extent to which
machinery is taking the place of hand labor is
strikingy illustrated in making ladies' Shoes
l recently visited a manufactory at HaverhlI,
Mass, where, with the machinery in use, %
persons turn out 600 pairs daily. All the
stitching is done by sewing machines run by
steam, combination of the two greatest me-
chanical powers. Every operation, except fit
ting the shoe to the last, even 10 the final
polishing, and cutting the pegs out of the in
side, to prevent them from hurting the foot, is
performed by machinery. One of the greatest
curiosities is the pegging machine, which in
serts the awl, cuts out the pegs from strip of
wood, and drives them in all at one operation
and so rapidly that it will peg two rows round
the sole of shoe in twenty seconds. The
facilities in this mandatory are such that the
raw calfskin and sole-leather can be taken in
the basement of the building and in half an
hour turned out in the form of complete pair
of shoes.

LEAD AND CoAL.-The Stockton Argus
learns that a valuable lead miae has been
found about thirty miles from that city, in the
vicinity Of Mount Diablo. 1t was found while
the party who discovered it were hunting for
coal They struck vein Of lead several feet
deep, about fifteen feet ON the surface Of the
earth The same party also discovered coal,
the vein forty feet across at the surface.

A CHAMPION GAME OF CHESS AT SEA.-It
is well known that the steamer Golden Age
came up in company with the Uncle Sam,
from Acapulco. During the trip a game of
chess was played between Capt. Lapidgc' of
the Uncle Sam, and NJ. Elias, passenger on
board the Golden Age, through the medium of
the black boards of the steamers, the moves
being made with chalk 1t is seldom that two
vessels can keep company for such an effort,
and we believe such a circumstance never oc-
CURED previously lila.

TESTS OF CHARACTERIZE great many ad-
mirable actions are overlooked by us, because
they are so little and so common Take, for
instance, the mother who had broken sumber,
if any at all, with the nursing babe, whose
wants must not be disregarded she would fain
sleep awhile when the breakfast hour comes,
but patiently and uncomplainingly she takes
her timely seat at the table. Though exhaust
ed and weary, she serves all with a refreshing
cup of coffee or tea before she sips it herself,
and often the cup is handed back to her to be
refilled before she has time to taste her own.
Do you hear her complain-this weary moth
er-that her breakfast is cold before she has
time TO eat it? And this not for one, but ev-
cry morning, perhaps, through the year Do
you call this small thing? Try it and see
Oh how does woman shame US by her for.
bearance and forttude in what are wrongfuy
called little things All, it is these little
things which are the tests of character it is
by these little" selfderals, borne with such
self forgotten gentleness, that the humblest
home is made beautiful to the eyes of angels,
though we fail to see it, alas the chair is va
cant, and the hand which kept in orderly mo
tion all this domestic machinery is powerless
and cold.

A PERFECT RAT DRIVER Chlorade of lime
has frequently proved sure thing to drive rats
away from any place infested by them. An
ounce of it, scattered in the place where they
come to feed, Or wrapped in a bit of muslin
put in their holes, where it acquires dampness,
produces gas that is not offensive to man. but
is to rats. If chlorade of lime is moistened
with muriatic acid, and placed in a drain, vault,
or cellar, and closed from the air little while,
the rats will depart, because it will be death 10
remain. This is also good disinleciant, and
will for time cure the efiluvIa of dead rat
One application of dry chlorade of lime to rat
holes has driven them away for a year, when
renewal Of it started them again.

Secession Guns.

The following lines from the weekly Mirror
of New Orleans, bearing the date of the
Louisiana secession ordinance, are very pretty,
and undoubtedly express the real sentiments of
thousands who are drawn into the vortex of
disunion by the rashness of headstrong men:
What Mary! weeping at those guns,
The glorious sound of liberty
The signal that Columbias sons
Are now, and ever shall be- free.
A scion of that patriot band
Who yield no right, and know not fears
A daughter of our glorious land
A Southern girl-and thou in tears.n
Oh, do not jest 'Tis not alone
With woman's servile fears I weep.
In yonder booming cannons tone
There is a source of tears more deep.
1t is the wall Columbia gives
Her loud lament DER ties that part;
And not a child of hers that lives,
But hears her with a weeping heart.

How 70 SWIM IN A SURF.-At late meet
ing of the Academy of Sciences, one of the
members. in the course of discussion gave
the following very useful information for per-
sons who may be shipwrecked or who happen
TO fall overheard at sea "The person must
maintain such position as to see the waves as
they approach All that is required, then, is.
that the swimmer keep his course, watching
their approach. As he rises upon a wave, he
will see roaring cataract three or four feet
high rushing toward him as though it threat
ened destruction but if he holds his breath a
moment, the crest will pass harmlessly over
him, and in an instant he will find himself on
the windward slopet of the wave, perfectly
safe and ready to continue as before. IT the
person is floating upon board or plank, he
should turn his head toward the coming waves
and keep his float at right angles to them,
holding his breath as before when the crests
pass. In this way he will be safely driven to
the beach but If he allows the board to be
struck by the waves sideways, he may be roll
ed over and over, and, in his fright let 90 his
hold"

TRUE HEARTs.-Hearts are of several kinds
and of widely different natures First, there
are walled up hearts; and these are of two
kinds about one kind the wall is high and
strong. and to surmount it is work OF extreme
difficulty but if you get inside you have en-
tered Eden. Fragrant, and sweet, and fair, as
the visions seen in dreams, is that enclosed
garden; and it Is worth hard labor to gain an
entrance there. The other has q wall as high
and strong, and full as hard to get over; and
when at last, with torn flesh and dislocated
joints, you have sealed it. you wish you hadn't,
for there is nothing inside but rocks and cold
water The trouble with these two description
of hearts is that It's impossible to distinguish
the one from the other, until you have almost
worn yourself out climbing the walls. Another
kind of heart is that, which having nothing to
fence it in, lies open to the passage of all men
and cattle waste, unfruitlul field, Of no use
to anybody, and less to its owner. Bat there
is another kind of heart-a rare creation, but
ieai-o ohe "hosc "dii Is lOW anu aiHio>t Hiu
by flowers. The birds make their nests in il,
and sing as they swing upon its swaying twigs
and fcstooning vines Beyond the wall itself
thing Of fragrance, beauty and joy, like the
enchanting gardens. Delightful bowers invite
the way-worn traveller to enter and repase.-
Spirits of love and beauty beckon the sad and
lonely ones to the feast of souls and charm
ed light and glory hover on the whole joyous
air. This is the true type of heart.
