TEE WANT OH DECIsI0H:

Sidney Smith, in his work on Moral Philosophy,
speaks in this wise of what men lose for want of
little brass, as it is termed
a great deal of talent is lost to the world for
the want OF a little courage. Every day tends to
their graves a number of obscure men, who have
only remained In obscurity because their timidity
has prevented them from making first effort, and
who, if they only had been induced to begin,
would, In all probability, have gone great lengths
in the career of fame. The fact is, that in doing
anything in the world worth doing, we must not
stand shiyering on the bank thinking Of the cold
and danger; but jump in and scramble through as
well as we can.
twill not do to be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting nice chances it did all very
well before the food, when man could consult
his friends upon an intended publication for a
hundred and fifty years, and live to see its success
for six or seven centuries afterwards but at pres
ent man waits anddoubts, and consults his broth
ers, and his unces and his particular friends, till
one day he finds that he is sixty-fye years Of age,
that he has lost too much time in consulting first
cousins and particular friends that he has no more
tine to follow their advice. There is so little time
or -equeamiehmcnt at present, that the ep-
portunity slips away The very period OF life at
which man chooses to venture, if ever, is go con-
fined, that it is no bad rule to preach up the ne
cissty, In such instances, of little violence done
to the feelings, and efforts made In defiance of
strict and sober calculation

THE PRETTY MACHINE.

Tou may see them at work any time in the day,
what dainty perfection their movements display;
There's rustiing and sEaying onward ttEey sTesP,
And the dirt Of the pavement before them they heap
It's tAc finest invention that ever was seen,
This pretty, new tangled street-swesping machine
They simple in shape, they arc easy TO move,
aud the walk q city they vastly improve,
You may have theln Of silk, OF barege, or delaine
You may have them trimmed gay, or have tham quits
plain.
It's the fnest invention that ever seen,
This pretty, new tangled streetsweeping machine.
There are some who declare they demand too much
There who prefer too the old style Of broom
But al these are old fogies who always cry down
Every bright innovation with anger and froWn!
It's the incest invention that ever seen,
This pretty, new tangled street-sBeeping machine
In what delicate folds round the owners they flow!
In what shimucring slopes to the pavement thsy go
Where's the Of contractors for cleaning the street.
When the jobs neatly done by the fairies We meet!
It's the rarcst invention that ever seen,
This pretty, new tangled street-sWeeping machine

CR0C0DILES AND MOAKEEs.


From Henri Mershot's travels in Indo- China,
we select The following paragraph:
Cr0codiles are more numerous in the river at
Paknam- Vem than in that Of Ghantaboun. ]
continually saw them throw themselves from the
banks into the water; and 1t has frequently hap
pened that careless fishers, OF persons who have
mprudenty fallen asleep on the shore, have be-
come their prey, or have afterwards died of wounds
inflicted by them. This latter has happened twice
9urlng my stay here. It is amusing, however.
Tor one is Interested in observing the habits of
animals Hover the world-so see the manner in
which these creatures catch the apes, which sumo
times take fancy 20 play with them Close to
the bank lies the crocodile his body In the water
and only his capaci0us mouth above the surface,
ready TO seiKe anything that may come within
reach
"A troop Of apes catch sight Of him, seem to
consult together, approaching little By little, and
commence their frolics, by turns actors and spec
tstors. One Of the most active or most imprudent
jumps from branch to branch till within respect
fu distance of the CROCODILE when hanging by
one claw, and with the dexterty peculiar to these
animals, ne advances and retires, now giving his
enemy blow with his paw, at another time only
pretending to do SO. The other apes enjoying
the fun, evidently wish to take part in it but
the other branches being too high, they form a
sort OF chain by laying hold Of each Others paws,
and thus swing backwards and forwards, while
any OF them who comes within reach of the croco-
dile torments him TO the best Of his ability.
Sometimes the terrible jaws suddenly close,
but not upon the audacieus ape who just escapes;
then there are cries of exultation from the tor
mentors, who gambol about joyfuly. Occasion
ally, however, the claw is entrapped and the vic
tim dragged with the rapidity oflightning beneath
the water, when the whole troop disperse, groan-
ing and shriehng. The misadyenture does not,
however prevent their recommending the game q
few days afterwards. .

A LOooMoTIvs THAT WILL CLIMB NOUN
TAINs Everybody has heard Of the tunnel under
Mount Gems which is TO connect the railroad sys-
TENS Of Italy and France and shorten the overland
route TO India four hundred miles. But it is GO
ing TO take twelve years at least to construct this
tunnel and it is desirable to have the advantages
Of such connection at once and it is now pro-
posed to build railroad across the south face of
the Alps using as the basis the great military road
of Napoleon. The road viii be fortyeight miles
long, and it is believed can be constructed in two
years, while it is believed locomotive hss been
