GOOD FEELINGS.

We know a blunt old fellow in
the State of Maine, who sometimes
bit the nail on the head more pat
than the philosophers. He once
heard a man much praised for his
"g0od feelings" Every body Join
ed and said the man was possessed
of good feelings.
"What has he done?" asked the
old genius. He is possessed of
the most benevolent feeling" was
the reply.
"What has he done?' cried the
old fellow again.
By this time the company
thought it necessary to show some
OF his tavorite doings. They
owned they could not name any
thing in particular.
"Yes," answered the cvnic, 'you
say that the man has good feelings.
Now, gentlemen, let me tell you
that there are people In this world
who get good name simply on
account OF their feelings. You
can't tell one generous action that
they ever Performed in their lives,
but they can look and talk most
benevolently. | know a man in
tins town that you would all call a
surly, rough and unamiable man,
and vet he has done more acts Of
kindness in this country than all of
you together. Yon may Judge
peoples actions by their feelings,
bot | Judge peoples feelings by
their actions -

TEACHING Hoes TO DESTROY
TmsrLEs.-We copy the following
from an Irish journal: Tramp on
the buds of a goodly number of
the largest plants IN the spring, and
place in the buds teaspoonful OF
salt; then turn your hogs on them.
They will eat the roots of the
sailed plants first, and will thus &C.
quire fondness for them daily as
long as they can be found. If but
one hog be educated in this way, he
will teach the whole herd to eat
them, and they will exterminate
all on the farm.

rests upon women what society

A daily contemporary, after an
elaborate calculation, reaches the
conclusion that the total losses Of
the South in consequence of war
reach five thousand eight hundred
millions of dollars, namely twenty
five hundred millions by loss of
what was called slave property,
nine hundred millions by ravage
of war, nine hundred millions by
loss Of staple crops, five hundred

TIE BIBLE.


In every generation, and where
ever the light of Revelation has
shone, men OF all ranks, conditions,
and states Of mind, have found in
this volume a correspondent for
every movement toward the Better
felt in their own hearts The
needy soul has found supply, the
feeble help, the sorrowful com
fort; yea. be the recipiency the
least that can consist with moral
lie, there is an answering grace
ready % enter. The Bible has
been found a spiritual, and yet at
the same time outward and common
to all. You in one place, | in
ano.her-all men somewhere, or at
sometime, meet with an assurance
that the hopes and fears, the
thoughts and warnings, that pro-
coed from, or tend TO, right spirit
in US, are not dreams or fleeing
singularities, no voices heard in
sleep, or specters which the eye
suffers, but not perceives. As if
on some dark night a pilgrim,
suddenly beholding bright star
moving before him, should stop in
fear and perplexity. But 10. trav-
eler after traveller passing by him,
and each, being questioned whittier
he is going, makes answer, Il ain
following your guiding starl' The
pilgrim quickens his own steps, and
passes onward IN confidence
More confident still will he he il
bv the wayside he should find, here
and there, ancient monun ents, each
with its rotive lamp, and on each
side the name of some former pill
grim, and a record that then he
had first seen or begun to follow
the benignant Star.
No otherwise is it with the va
ried contents of the sacred volume
The hungry have found food, the
thirsty a living spring, the feeble {
staff, and the victorious wayfare
songs of welcome and strains O
music; and as long as each mat
asks On account of his wants, anC
asks what he wants. no man vii

the vast and many-chamberet
storehousa.
For more than a thousand year
the Bible, collectively taken, ha
gone hand in hand with civliza
tion, science and lawn short
with the moral and intellectual cul
tivation OF the species--alway
supporting, and often leading TIL
way. Its very presence, a. be
lleved Book, has rendered the ma
tons emphatically chosen race
and this, too, in exact proporti Of
as it IS more or less generally know
and studied. OF those nation
which in the highest enjoy its infu
ences, it is not too much to affirn
that the differences, public an
. private, physical, moral and intel
lectual. are only less than wha
might be expected from a diversit
ofspecies. Good and holy men, ar
) the best and wisest of mankind
the hingly spirits Of history en-
throned in the hearts of mighty ma
tions, have become witnesses t
: its influences, have declared it to b
beyond compare the most perfec
instrument, the only adequate orga
OF Humanity.-Coleridge.

rough estimate. Other items
