Want Of Decision.

4 great deal of talent is lost To the world for
the want OF a little courage. Every day sends 10
their graves Il number Of obscure men, who have
only remained in obscurity because their timidity
has prevented them from making a 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 shivering on the bank. thinking Of the cold
and danger, but jump in and scramble through as
well as we can. 1t will not do to be perpetually
calculating risks and adjusting nice chances it
did very well before the food, when Il 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 afterward but
at present a man waits and doubts, and consults
his brothers, and his uncles, and his particular
friends, till one day he finds that he is ~sixty-ive
years of age, that he has lost so much time IN
consulting first cousins and particular friends that
he has no time TO follow their advice. There is
so little time for Over-squeamishness at present
that the opportunity slips away. The very period
of life at which man chooses to venture, if ever,
is so confined, that it is no bad rule to preach up
the necessity, in such instances, of d little vio-
lence done to the feelings, and efforts made in
defiance Of strict and sober calculation

4 Parsou aud u Poor Eaborer.

While a parson was standing at his door.
amCking his pipe, in a country village, he was
accosted by a poor laboring man. The parsOn
told him he made it n rule not to encourage idle
ness, but if the man would get into his garden
and root up the weeds, he would pay him for it.
That's all l wish, said the poor fellow.
Well, then, come along with me, and I'll
show you what IL 70 be done"
When they were in the garden, the reverend
gentleman agreed 10 give him a shilling for his
trouble however. when the job was done, he
thought that six pence had been enough for the
time the laborer had been employed.
The poor man. half starved, and wishing 10
get himself some bread, finding the other would
give him no more, agreed TO take the sixpence,
on condition the parson would teach him the
Lords prayer, which he consented to do, begin
ming:
Our Father"
What" said the laborer, q. both our ia,
theirs ?"
"Yes, yes: come say after me-'Our Father >
"What? your father and mine, too p" he again
asked.
ITO be sure. replied the parson.
Well, then said the laborer, " you must
be q COMPOUNDED rogue to cheat your brother out
Of a sixpence."

Among the various rumors concerning
the ram Stouewsll, there is one which
proved unfounded, that the Spanish gov.
eminent had bought her for $500, OOO.-
Another report is that Capt. Boggs of the
Connecticut, had demanded her surrender
of Capt. Page, who preferred to put her in
the possession of the Captain General, on
condition that she should not be given to
the United States. That official however,
refused to receive her on such terms, but
would receive her as q depot. This was
agreed to and she was towed to the arsenal
and the flag lowered, The officers aud
men were paid off and put on land.
The PoWhattau, Aries, Connecticut and
several other gunboats were lying off the
port ready to attack the ram If she at.
tempted to put to sea. e
The blockade runner Wren had arrived
from Galveston.
The Houston and Galveston papers, Of
the 18th inst, say Kirby Smith had refused
to surrender.
These papers confirm the news from
Mexico of the capture of Oamargo by Me-
CRETE, and that he was marching on Mata.
