PUBLIC WRITING.-The San jose Mercury
gives this lesson in the art: The great Sc
cret Of writing for the press is, not knowing
what to say, but in knowing what not 10 say.
Most persons think they can write, and so
they can; but few will write what the public
viii stop TO read Everybody reads but where
is the man who reads one-ffth of what comes
under his eye in the paperSP To be able to
give ones ideas graceful shapes, and to clothe
them with elegant wardfobes, such as will at
tract the eye and arrest the attention, is a
rare accomplishment. One fault of our Ian
guage ia, we have too many words, and the art
of stringing them together is SO easily acquir-
ed, that al idea with most writer's, like dia-
mOnd among the pebbles. is apt to be covered
up and lost. The reader has not the time or
patience to wade through a column of words
to find few struggling thoughts. It is too
much like looking for needle in a stack of
straw ! o know how to condense an idea
into a single sentence, and sometimes into a
single wcrd, is more more difficult than to
write a volume. BE brief, cut it short, are
words that phould ever ring in the ears of a
public writer, and be printed in living charac-
ers on his mind"

EVIL CoMPANIoNS..-Socety is the atmos-
phere Of souls, and we necessarily imbibe
from it something which is either infectious
or salubrious. The society of virtuous per-
sons is enjoyed beyond their company, while
vice carries a sting into solitude. The society
of company tat you keep, is both the ndica-
ton of your character and the former Of it,
In various society, you will feel your reverence
for the dictates of conscience wear of, and
that name at which angels bow and devils
tremble, you will hear condemned and abused.
The Bible will supply materials for unmean-

which will be practical deviation from vir

fences Of conscience broken down and when
debaucheFy has corrupted the character,
total inversion will then take place, and the
sinner will glory in his shame.

he made some remarks to her which she con-

of hers named Schofeld, to procure pistol
for her, which he did-giving it to her about
half an hour before the shooting took place
Last evening more words passed between

which had before offended her, whereupon
he produced the pistol, and Steir immedi-

THE BEAUIFUL.-Men are so inclined to
content themselves with what is commonest,
the spirit and the senses SO easily grow dead
TO the impression of the beautiful and perfect
that every one should study to nourish in his
mind the faculty Of feeling these things by
every method in his power. For no man can
bear to be entirely deprived of such enjoy
ments; it is only because they are not used
to taste Of what is excellent, that the general
ity of people take delight in silly and insipid
things provided that they be new. For this
reason, one ought every day to hear a good

TIE HUMAN FIGURE.-The proportions
Of the human figure are strictly mathematical
The whole figure is six times the length Of
the foot. Whether the form be slender or
plump the rule holds good; any deviation
from it is departure from the highest beauty
of proportion, The Greeks lmade all their
statues according to this rule The face, from
the highest point on the forehead where the
hair begins 10 the chin, is one-tenth of the
stature. The hand, from the wrist to the
middle finger is the same. The chest is one
fourth; and from the nipple 10 the top Of the
head is the same. From the top of the chest
to the highest point Of the forehead is one
seventh. If the length of the face from the
roots Of the hair to the chin, be divided into
three equal parts, the first division will deter
mine where the eyebrows meet, and the Sec
ond the place Of the nostrils. The navel is
the central part of the human body, and if a
man should lie on his back with lis arms ex-
tended, the periphery of the circle which
might be described around him, with the ma
vel for its center, would touch The extremity
of his hands and feet. The height from the
feet TO the top of the head is the same as the
distance from the extremity of the fingers
when the arms are extended.
