DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.

Don't get discouraged. Who ever gained anything by drawing down the corners of his mouth when a cloud came over the sun, or letting his heart drop like dead weight into his shoes, when misfortune came upon him Why, man, if the world knocks you down and jostles past you in its great race, don't sit whining under peoples feet, but get up, rub your elbow, and begin again. There are some people who even to look at is worse than dose of chamomile tea What if you do happen to be a little puzzled on the dollar and cent question? Others before you have stood in exactly the same spot, and struggled bravely out of 1t, and are neither halt lame nor blind, that you cannot do likewise. The weather may be dark and rainy-yery we'll laugh between the drops and think cheerily of the blue sky and sunshine that will surely come tomorrow Business may be dull :; make the best of what you have, and look forward to something more hopeful. If you catch fall. don't lament over your bruises but be thankful that no bones are broken. If you can't afford roast beef and plum pudding, cat your codfsh joyfuIly, and bless your stars for the indigestion and dyspepsia you thereby escape But the moment you begin to groan over your troubles, and count up your caIami- ties, you may as well throw yourself over the docks and done with it. The luckiest fellow that ever lived might have woes enough if he set himself seriously to work looking them up. They are like invisible specks of dust :; you don't SC 'em till you put on your specta- cles. But then is it worth while to put on your spcctacles to discover what is a great deal better let alone
 Don't get discouraged. little wife Life is not long enough to spend in inflamin@ your eye and reckoning your nose because the pudding won't bake, and your husband says the new shirts you worked over so long, set like meal bags" Make another pudding begin the shirts anew Don't feel down in the mouth because dust will settle. and clothes will wear out and crockery will get broken. Being woman don't procure you an exemption from trouble and care; you have got to fight the battle of life as we'll as your husband, and 1t will never do to give up without bold struggle. Take things as they come, good and bad together, and whenever you feel inclined to cry, just change your mind and laugh, Keep the horrors at arms length; never turn blessing round to see if it has got dark side to it, and always take it for granted that things are blessings until they prove to be something else.
 Never allow yourself to get discouraged, and you'll find the world pretty comfortable sort of place after all.

The outlaws sprang to the edge of the cliff, and, with savage exultation, watched Andy s descent.
 Now for t'other one :" shouted the leader, after the lapse of few minutes.
 At that instant the loud report of firearms reyerberatod far and near, and half of the bandits, at least, fell dead to the ground. The balls whistled around me as thick as hail, but 1 escaped unhurt. Instantly afterward, a party of trappers rushed upon the scene, and charged upon the outlaws. The fight was short but desperate At the end not an out law of them remained alive, though they fought like incarnate devils.
 In the very first moments of the melee I got out of harm. After the conflict was over, l made ny appearance and gave statement of what transpired From the trappers, I learned that the cry of Andy had directed them to the spot; but, poor fellow they came too late to save him. I thanked God and the mountaineers for my own prcserva- tion, and quilted the scene with q feeling of sadness.
 Gentlemen, that was about the worst situa- ton 1 was ever placed in, and may you never have a similar experience.

DOMESTIC LITE.-IIow sweet it is when the heart expands and the mind kindles by reciprocated kindiness and knowledge !- And sweetor far ill domestic life Is it to rest the weariod heart and mind on the chastened expression of sympathy lighting up the well known and beloved coUntcnance of one who has often treated our sorrows with compas- sion, returned long-suAGing to our trying ness, and shown enduring fidelity ill our bur dens-endoared to Us like gallant ship, which, though the gloss of its new paint and rigging may be worn less bright, yet in it's very scars marks the tenacity with which it's anchors have held, and its ruader answered the holmsman, through many a storm and tempest.

POPULAR LUXURY IN CHINA. - Two things struck me in China-the universal smell of musk in the Kingdom of Flowers, and the enormous consumption of melon-pips, which are what nuts and oranges are to you English, and what olives and prunes arc to us Gauls. The scarlet and yellow prunes are in some places only grown for the seed, and are piled up by the side of the road for the use of any traveller who will scoop out the seed for the proprietor. On the rivers 1 have seen whole junks laden with these seeds. In the loneliest places you can procure them, when all other food is scarce. The three hundred millions of Chinese all eat them. When friends meet to drink tea or rice wine, there is always an accompaniment of melon seeds. They arc piled up on every dinner table. They are eaten while travelling in the palanquin, they are picked while discussing bargains. If workman has few copecks, he does just what his child would do-buys melon-seeds. They are an amusement and a food-as the cigarette is to the Spaniard, and the betel-nut to the Hindoo.

TIE FAMILY CRCLE-No earthly circle can be compared to that of the family. It comprises all that a human heart most val ues and delights in It is the centre where all human affections meet and cntwine, the vessels into which they all pour themselves with such joyous freedom. There is no one word which contains in it so many endearing associations and remembrance, hid in the heart like gold. It appeals at once to the very centre of mans being-his heart of hearts" All that is sweet soothing, tender, and true is wrapped up in that one name It speaks not of one circle, or one bond; but of many cicles and many bonds, all of them near the heart The family home, the family hearth, the family table, family habits, family melodies, family joys and sorrows-what a mine of recollections lies under that one word Take these away and earth becomes a mere churchyard of crumbling bones, and men so many grains of loosenel sand, or, at best. but the fragments of torn flower, which the winds have scattered abroad All that is loveable and precious in the movements ot the human heart, from its lowest depth to its uppermost surface-all these are wrapped up in the one name of family. For close-knit bonds, for steadEst faithtulness in love, for depth of sympathy, for endurance in trial and danger-where shall we find anything that can be compared to the story of earth's fami- ly circle? Conjugal love, parental love
 brotherly love, sisterly loYe-all are here

THE CATTLE REQUIRED TO FEED NEW YORK CTrY,-The annual cattle statistics show the capacity of New Workers to swallow annually over l50,000,00 pounds of beef alone, at cost to the butcher of at least S12000,000 The number of beef cattle re- ceived during 1860 was 226,741 head the average weight dressed was 7G07f cwt. The average price was $8,l5 per hundred weight which is at least one cent per pound cheaper than in 1859, and one cent and half less than in 1858 The total number of live stock slaughtered last year in that city was l107 ,882 head If they were placed togeth- CT compacty on road of fifteen feet in width, the mammoth drove would cover 220 miles.

TIE SUN OF THE EAsT-The following passage is from Goodwin's History of France:
 Beyond the eastern limits of the empire, within that zone of rock and sand. and beneath those serene and feryid skies, which had already given its two greatest religions to the world, new and imposing faith had been proclaimed by an obscure Arabian named Mo- hammed. A youth of genius and piety, whose early life, passed in conducting cara vans from Mecca to Damascus and AIeppo, had made him familiar with ,he condition of the heroic but prostrated tribes of the desert, His profound religious scnsibilities were shocked by the chaos of idolatries which par alyzed and debassd the intellect of his people. Weltering in all the corruptions of natural religion. of Sabaism. of Judaism. and Greece Syriac Christianity they still ycarncd with the dim traditions which had promised them a prophet who should fulfil their hopes of glory and salvation. On the lively temper and fiery imagination of Mohammed these dreams of his nation wrought. til, in the caves of Mount lIira, whithcr he often retired to pass the night in alienation of deep thought StItA Ct0tttiC tIiC VI -At4ttiL S'LI- nounced to him a supernatural mission. God is one, God Is infinite, God is almighty, was the single thought which pealed through the depths of his being. like voice from Heaven, and with that thought, shearing away, as with a sword, the wretched wrappings of aIl sub sisting creeds, he suode forth as the prophet of God. No sentiment of awful holiness, as with the Jew, shaded to his perception the fierce blaze of the divine olnightiness; no tender feeling of infinite mercy, as with the Christian, responded to the souls longing for sympathy and for love; and and even the common ethical elements of humanity and the consciousness of moral liberty were with cred in the intense splendor of his idea of God. 1t was the sun of the east, shining down hot and unclouded upon the burning deserts.

TIE LOST ONE.
BY W. II. THOMPSON.

 They told me that she lived no more, Her soul had wing'd it's way To heavenly regions bright and pure, Home of eternal day That 1 should ne'cr see her face, should no more her image trace, That she was far away! They show her to me on the morn, When fair and cold she lay. Did say fair yea, beautiful, Though clothed in deaths array! l did not wcep--I could not weep, Yet twas a sorrow sharp and deep No sorrow of day. Now, years have pass'd on airy wings, But still the smart l feel; The sorrow dwell5 within my soul Is on ny heart seal, Which ne CT will break, but e'er remain, The parent of hidden pain, The same i'll woe and veal. 'Tis but Q few more rolling years, And then will end lifes teeams; With all its visions, clouds anu fears, Its hopes with lust'rous beams; And l shall hence and meet her where She rests amid the good and fair. Where loves star brightly gleams

TIE GRAvE.-It buries every error-cov- CTS every defect-extinguishes every resent ment. From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollections Who can look down upon the grave of an enemy, and not feel compunctuous throb that he should have warred with the poor handful of dust that lies mouldering before him?

THE Ex-King of Naples is by no means D pauper, notwithstanding the less ef his do- minions. His treasure has been conveyed to Paris According to the reports, it is wholly in silver-nine millions of silver dueats--- which have been sleeping in peace, sonle since the days of Massaneillo. They are ar irving by the railway, consigned to Serre, to be changed into gold. The rate of silver is so high that the changer expects to realize 925, ,000 (s125,000) by the transaction.
