For What Should We Live.

This subject has involved within it much
of deep interest, and furnishes for the
mind Of every thinking person a vast
amount of material with which to engage
their meditations. There are those Of this
worlds people, who, judging from their
outward appearance and actions, seem to
think that the world owes them a living;
and, while moving on through life with
this erroneous idea as their guide, little
thinking that they are at the time trifing
with the laws Of an all-wise and just Be-
ing, believe that they have attained the
desired object for which they we're created.
But dear reader, welcome not such
thought to your mind. We should live
for a higher and more worthy purpose.
We should live not only to participate in
the enjoyments which this life affords, out
live in such a manner that we may be pre-
pared, at any moment, to bid adieu to
these eDjoyments, to enter into that "hOly
mansion " where si1 and sorrow never gain
an admittance, nor the dark clouds Of ad-
versity hover around our pathway.
While living it should be our earnest
endeavor to cause those around US to be
happy; and having sought some useful
employment with which to bear US on
through the varied and changing scenes
of life, we should buckle on the armOr
and enter the field of action, resolved to
win or perish in the attempt, allowing no
small trihe to serve as a barrier to our on
ward progress; for, if we do, our at
tempts will be fruitless.
Let industry ever be our constant com
panion through life, and never suffer our
selves to be led astray from the path of
duty; be ever on the alert, lest we be en-
tangled within the snare of the temper,
and fall victim to some of the evils that
now disgrace our country. Let honesty
and uprightness mark our daily transact
tions and business affairs of life and, al
though others may swerve from their duty
to God and man, let it be no example
worthy of our imitation, but rather a
stronger inducement to 60 on in the noble
work although we experience no tribute
of praise upon earth; yet, when death clO-
ses the scene, rest assured that then shall
Ne receive a reward more lasting than
brass and more beautiful than any thing
this world can bestoW.

To "Bee" or Not to Bel

A small pri7ateer, with forty or fftv
men, having on board some hives full Of
bees, was pursued by Turkish galley,
manned by five hundred seamen and SOL
diers. As soon as the latter came along
side, the crew of the privateer mounted
the rigging with their hives, and hurled
them down on the deck of the galley.
The Turks astonisRed at this novel mode
of warfare, and unable to defend them
selves from the stiugs Of the enraged bees,
became so terrified that they thought of
nothing but how to escape their fury,
while the creWO of the small vessel, defend
ed by masks and gloves, few upon their
enemies, sword in hand, and captured the
vessel, almost without resistance. During
the confusion occasioned in a time of war,
a mob Of peasants assembled in Honstein,
in Turingia, attempted to piliage the house
of the parish minister, who, having in vain
employed all his elOquence to dissuade
them from their design, ordered the do
