Daniel O'Connell the great Irish agita-

Col. Forney's friends may truthfully say
that he is indeed, the best abused man in
the United States. For years as an influ-
entail member Of the Democratic party he
sought to make that organization true to
its fundamental idea Of liberty, and when
he failed in this he left the party. He was
the warm friend of President Pierce in the
early days Of his administration. but when
Pierce succombed to Southern dictation
and control Mr.. Forney abandoned him. -
Col. Forney believed IN Mr.. Buchanan.

COOP FEELINGs-We know a blunt old
fellow who sometimes hit the nail on the
head more aptly than philosophers. He
once heard man much praised for his ''good
feelings" Everybody Joined and said the
man was possessed of excellent feelings
"What has he done asked the old genius.
"He is possessed of the most benevolent
feelings, was the reply.
"What has he done n cried the old fellow
again.
BY this time the company thought it
necessary to show some of his fayorite do
ings. They began to cast about in their
minds, but the old man still shouted, "What
has he done2" They owned they could not
name anything in particular.
"Yes, answered the cynic, "you say he is
q man that has good feelings. Now, gentle
men, let me tell you that there are people in
this world who get good name simply on
account of their feelings You cant tell one
generous action that they ever performed in
their lives, but they can look and talk most
benevolently. /. know man in this town
that you all would call surly, rough and
unamiable man, and yet he has done more
acts of kindness in this country than all OF
you together. You may judge peoples ac-
tions by their feelings, but judge peoples
feelings by their actions"

No MoTHER.--'sShe has no motherr' What

that single utteranee-no mother We must
go down the hard, tough path of life, and
become enured to care and sorrow in their
steFnest forms, before we can take to our
experience the dread reality-nO mother
without struggle and tear. But when it
is said of frail young girl, just passing from
childhood toward the life of woman, how
sad is the story summed up in that one short
utterance Who now shall administer the
needed council 2--who now shall check the
waywafd faneies who shall bear with the
errors of the motherless daughter?
Deal gently with the child Let not the
Gun of her sorrow be oyerhowed by the

What is Happiness .

What is happiness Ask the man
of the world, whose soul is bound up in
the almighty dollar" and you will
learn it is brisk business, with the
dollars rolling into his Golfers faster
than his wants can roll them out.
What is happiness Ask the poor
student, who is struggling with power
ty to obtain an education. He will
tell you that few dollars from the rich
mans purse, to enable him to crafty
his thirst for knowledge, would bring
him all the happiness he would ask of
life.
What happinessa Ask the author,
and you will learn authors ha We
weaknesses in common with other
men--it is to win crown of literary
fame.
What is happiness Ask the fop,
as he passes you, fiourishing his gold
headed cane, and he will tell you, if he
speaks the truth, it is to be garbed in
the richest and most fashionable coat
on Broadway or Washington street,
and to attract the eyes Of the admiring
crowd as you pass.
What is happiness Ask the
thoughtless young lady in her dressing
room, where she is preparing for a
ball, and you will soon learn 1t is to
be the belle of the ball room.
What is happiness Ask the poor
widow, as she sits at midnight plying
her needle to earn the common neces-
saries Of life for her little fatherless
children. She will reply: "GiVe me
employment and strength to educate
my children, and | will thank God for
the blessings he has showered upon
me-"
What is happinessa Ask the inVa-
lid, as he tosses his aching limbs upon
bis bed, and you will find that wealth
and fame are but bubbles without
health, all other blessings become only
blessings in name.
What is happinessl Ask the Chris
tian, and he will tell you that true,
lasting happiness is not dependent
upon riches or fame. It is a heart
overfowing with beQevolence towards
his fellow beings, and whose own hap
piness is bought by adding happiness
to those around him. 1t is a calm,
trusting faith 10 God, that enables him
when dark clouds of afiiction and trial
hover over him, to feel that the showers
they bring are needed to revive the
dropping graces of his heart Ex.

SILENT INFLUEECE. The Rev. Al
bert Barnes says: It is the bubbling
stream which flows gently, the little
riyulet which runs along day and night
by the farm house, that is useful, rather
than the swollen flood or warning cata-
ract. Niagara excites our wonder, and
we stand amazed at the power and
greatness of God there as he "pours in
from the hollow of his hand" But one
Niagara is enough for the continent or
the world, while the same world re-
quires thousands and tens of thousands
Of silver fountains and gently flowing
rivulets that water every farm and
meadow, and every garden, and that
shall flow on every day and night with
their gentle, quiet beauty. So with
the acts Of our lives. Its not by great
deeds, like those of the martyrs that
good is TO be done, but by the daily
and quiet virtues of life, the Christian
temper, the good qualities Of relatives
and friends.

Praise Your Wife,

Praise your wife, man; for PHYS sake give
her little encouragement; it won't hurt
her. She has made your home comfortable
your hearth bright and shining, your food
agreeable; for PHYS sake tell her you thank
her, if nothing more. She don't expect it;
it will make her eyes open wider than they
have these ten years, it will do her good for
all that, and you too.
There are many women today thirsting
for the words of praise, the language of en-
c0uragement. Through summers heat,
through winters toll, they have drudged
uncomplainingly, and SO accustomed have
their fathers, brothers and husbands become
to their monOtonous labors, that they look
for and on them as they do ON the duly rising
of the sun, and its daily going down. Home
every day may be made beautiful by an APP
probation of its very holiness. You know
that, If the floor is clean, manual labor has
been performed to make it so. You know, if
you can take from your drawer clean shirt
whenever you want it, that somebody's fin
gers have ached in the toll of making it so
fresh and agreeable, so smooth and lustrous.
Everything that pleases the eye and the
sense has been produced by constant work,
much thought, great care, and untiring
efforts, bodily and mentally.
1t is not that many men do not appreciate
these things, and feel q glow gratitude for
the numberless attentions bestowed upon
them in sickness and health; but they don't
come ont with hearty why, how pleasant
you make things look, wifeh or, 81 am
much obliged to you for taking so much
painsl" They thank the tailor for giving
them ''fits;" they thank the man in full
omnibus who gives them seat; they thank
the young lady who moves along in the con-
cert room; in short, they thank everything
out of doors because it is the custom, and
come home, tip their chair brck, and their
heels up, pull out the newspaper, grunnble il
wife ask them to take the baby, scold If the
fire is gone down, or, if everything is just
right, shut their mouths with a smack Of
satisfaction, but never say 81 thank you

ALWAYS LEARNNG.-Sir Walter Scott
gives us to understand that he never met
with any man, let his calling be what it
might, even the most stupid fellow that ever
rubbed down horse, from whom he could
not. after a few moments conversation,
learn something which he did not before
know, and which was valuable to him. This
will account for the fact that he seemed
to have an intuitive knowledge Of every
thing.
Such, too, was very much the case with
the great Mr.. Locke, the author of the cele.
brated treatise on the Human Understand
ing" He was once asked how he had con
trfved to acquire mine of knowledge SO
rich, yet 80 extensive and deep He replied
that he attributed what little he knew to his
not having been ashamed to ask for informa
tion, and to the rules he had laid down b
conyersing with all descriptions Of men on
those topics that formed their own profession
