was resemblance scarcely less exact than
that of the bust to its mould, or the wax
en- seal to the sculptured gem. We can
hardly venture to hope that our endeav-
ors will be so successful as Cicero's, but at
the same TIME we may reasonably antici-
pate that they may be well rewarded by
close intercourse with good authors. The
more time one devotes to the responsible
ties, the requirements, the studies of a
barrister, the more likely is he to become
conversant with the mysteries of the bar.
Similarly with other professions. Will
not the same reasoning hold good for our
association with good books? The " Tat
ler," the " Spectator" the Guardian, .
the Rambler" the Adventurer," the
"World," have they been written for no
good purpose Do we in vain associate
with johnson, of whom Bishop Gleig
has said, that he brought more mind to
every subject, and a greater variety of
knowledge ready for all occasions, than
almost any man p May We not think
that johnson spoke justly. when he said
that whoever would attain an English
style, familiar but not coarse, and elegant
but not ostentatious, must give his days
and nights to the volumes of. Addison p
And that he was equally just when he
said of poor Goldsmith, whose simplicity,
elegance, and refined feeling have no su-
perior, that p" whatever he wrote he did it
better than any other man could do ?"-
We cannot but read with advantage such
novels as the Vicar of Wakefield" of
which Sir Walter Scott says, that it is
one Of the most delicious morsels of fcti-
tious composition in which the human
mind was ever employed. We read it in
youth and in age; we return to it again
and again, and bless the memory of an
author who contrives so well to reconcile
us to human nature" To Sir Walter
Scott can we pay a higher tribute when we
say with Professor Spalding, that his nov
els " may safely be pronounced to be the
most extraordinary productions of their
class were ever penned, and to stand, in
literary value, as far above all other prose
works of fiction rs the novels of Fielding
stand above all other in our language cx-
cept these p In our selection of books,
let us remember that we are told that good
books lead us to the fountain-head of
true sense and sublimity; teach us the
first and infallible principles of convinc-
ing and moving eloquence; and reveal to
us the mystery and delicacy of good wri-
ters. ."-Eaghsh Jopynolof Educotioa.

BORROWING TROUBLE,

The most miserable mortal perhaps,
upon this miasmic sphere, is he who has
no present ills to complain of-except an
overburden of gold and nothing to do
but who beats the bushes of Future till
he wakes up wild cats, lions, and tigers,
and brings a nest of hornets about his ears.
He sees more horrid speetres and omirsus
apparations in the distance than | can
count daisies Of delight blooming in my
future pathway and a soul-quake threat
ems momentarily to demolish his wretched
carnal habitation. His trembling imagi-
nation looks out daily from its mud-built
cell, and every tomorrow is deep valley
of gloom, filed with devouring Sgres,
bowling at the savory scentof his treasures.
A little cloud, not bigger than a mans
hand, brews for him storm of evil quick
er than old women and ignited charcoal
can raise a tempest in tea kettle. Poor
mortal he is as blind as a bat at midday
blind to everything but the innumera-
BILE goblins of woe which stalk in the
darkness before him deaf as an adder to
all sounds save those that howl of APP
preaching want and misery.
Rich, and surrounded with all the COM
forts that the world can bestow. he will 90
a-fshing in the stagnant pools of the fu-
ture for ills that he knows not of; and he
is sure to get more bites in a minute, than
| would to fish for week at his elbow
Unhappy human to look out day after
day, from a golden palace, upon an ever
lasting expanse of darkness and Gloom
How much more glorious it is for me to
sit in the door of poverty, with Content
ment for my wife, and crust for my din
ner, and behold the blessed sunshine glad
dening the fields, and the dawn Of still
brighter days to come castingits sheen up
on the distant mountain tops or to
throw one leg across the other, and watch
the smoke from my pipe ascending in
graceful wreaths to the happy heaven
above

A SINGULAR RE-UNIoN-Ten years
ago last night ten young ladies, who were
attending school in this city, agreed with
their teacher, Miss Stearns, to meet in Just
ten years, and have a supper at the Wor-
cester House. Last night they all came
to the Lincoln House together. The hand
of death had been laid upon none. Time
had also dealt leniently with them, and but
two of their number were married. They
all sat down to Lincoln supper Wor-

THE GoD FAsHIoN.-" There is only
one thing more powerful than the steam
engine, and that IS fashion Fashion
rules the women, the women rule the men,
and men rule the world ergo, fashion is
more powerful than all other influences
combined" The foregoing is as proper
as it is true for the Dloral should always
govern the material, and fashion, being
an exemplifcation of the sentiment of re-
fined people does, and should, rule the
world.

GAMBLING.-Let every man avoid all
sorts of gambling as he would poison
A poor man or boy should not allow him
self even to toss up for half-penny, for
this is often the beginning of habit of
gambling; and this luminous crime comes
on by slow degrees. Whilst a man is
minding his work he is playing the best
game, and he is sure to win. A gambler
never makes good use of his money, even
if he should win.

Are you not, therefore, in danger of

to the earthly, liable, at least, to forge a
chain of follies with which to bind you at
length to the pillory of shame? Is it not

HoMEsTEADs FOR NEGROES.

The House of Representatives. has had under consders
ton the bill to homesteads to persons engaged in
the military naval service without regard to color
con6scated forfeited lands 10 nsurreconary districts
Mr.. FERNANDO WOOD opposed the bill for the
that there African in it, and that the fourth
section proposed to give homesesds to aborers freed
men thus holding out deception and alsehood, under
the preext that the lands 10 be given to sailors aud
soldiers Besides, the bill proceeded the assumption
that the Union to be restored for If the Southern
States come back they will return with all their territorial
and other rights .@3'
Mr. SLOAN replied IN defence Of the bill II applied
only to those who persist 10 their treason and continue to
be engaged in the great rebellion We have oppressed the
negro for two hundred years grinding him down and hold
ing him in bondage And now, when il asked that
simple ofjusce be extended to them. the prepo
son met by remarks Arguments which should be
used by who had any proper self respect He de-
MED that the bill would aid in preventing restoration Of
the Union. 1t would assist in restoring the Union and
harmony ia higher and better sense by taking from IL
that which had always been antagonisc to the Govern
msnt and giving Union with free people every where
Mr.. JULIAN, replying to the remarks Of Mr.. FER
NAsDo WOOD denied that the bill would operate against
reconstruction Of the Union The dividing Of these lands
into honeseads among soldiers and ssors could not
possibly endanger the Union II the gentleman from New
York Mr.. WooD) the restoration Of the Union

past ruled the Government absolutely the interests Of

Representative from that State in the last Congress
He died Of paralysis on Thursday, the 18th instant.
This announcement will carry equal surprise and sor
row to many in all parts of the country but especially to
readers in this city, among whom Mr.. CALVERT was
widely known. 1t is but day or two ago that we saw
him in his usual health. As few among the citizens OF
Maryland have been distinguished for their public
spirit and intelligence, none could be esteemed
for all the qualities which adorn the and the patriot
The obseques took place Monday at his residence,
and his remains followed TO their last resting place
by large number of Borrowing friends from this city, and
from the surrounding country in which he had long
commanded the universal respect and admiration of his
neighbors The loss Of such at any time would de-
to be held public calamity; but, within the wide
circle Of bis influence it must be most sensby felt at
time when good and true than needed
to raise the standard of public morals
