BoyHooD. when they are boys
ars queer enough. How ridiculous notions
they have, and what singular desires, which
in after life change and shape themselves
into characteristics. Who remembers when
he would have sold his birth right for a
rocking horse and his new suit of clothes
for money! Who forgets the sweet faced
girl, older than himself, against whose gold
en- hair he leaned and wept his grief. away?
Who recollects when the thought of being
a circus rider appeared greater than to be
President, and how jealously he watched
the little fellows that wore Spangied jackets
and turned somersets and desired to be like
them? Ii memory preserves not these
caprices, or something similar, the by is

LOOKS should not be wholly beneath the
consideration Of any man. Nature does not
d'sda'n them. Nothing is omitted that can
enhance its beauty. Everything is grouped
and arranged with the most consumate skill,
and with the direct and manifest object Of
pleasing exterior vision. The man, there
fore, who plays the philosopher on the
strength Of neglecting his attire, and who
hopes that the world will rate the superior.
ity of his intellect in direct ratio with the
infcriority Of his hat, is no philosopher at
all, because the truly wise man thinks from
Nature through himself.
