CON T E N T.
BY G. S. RAYMOND.


Of all the long list of causes, which
combine to make up the sum total OF
human misery, discomfort is the most
pernicious in it's influence. All the other
passions may be curbed, and held in
check, by the better influence of the
moral principle. Discomfort, never. 1t
is the rich mans bone; and the beggar's
evil genius.
Iwould experiment with human nature.
First,-I would select one, who, for a
long course of years, has struggled on
against poverty and battled with misfort-
une; ever repining; and constantly COM
planning that unkind fortune has treated
him with more severity than any other
mortal man. Upon that individual /
would bestow riches, honor, fame, and
place him in position among his fellow
men, that the proudest, the mightiest
might envy; heap upon him every bless
ing that wealth could confer, more than
he had ever dreamed of in his brightest
hopes of ideal happiness | would make
his home in some fairy spot, possessing
all the qualities of soil, and beauty OF
climate, calculated to render it a second
Eden, aud watch the result.
Would he be happy? would he be con-
tented
He might be for week perhaps; not
longer.
Discomfort is so interviewer with every
fibre Of our nature, that if the Almighty
were to bestow upon puny man the en-
pire Of the world, still would he murmer
and complain that God had not given him
the dominion Of the sun, also. = E9ai ae

ACCURACY.
BY W. R. COCHRAN.

Too little attention is paid to the i'm
portant quality of accuracy. Aman, emf
nent in practical science, lately observed,
'It is astonishing how few people have
met in the course of my life who can
define fact accurately" Yet it often
depends upon the manner in which small
affairs are transacted that decides people
for or against us. A man may have vir-
tue and ability, yet he may be 50 habitu-
ally inaccurate in all his accounts that his
work has all to be looked over, and in
that way he gives great deal of trouble
and vexation. Truer woods were never
spoken than those uttered by Mr.. Dargan,
a railroad contractor, at public meeting
in Dublin, Ireland, 81 have heard a great
deal about our independence coming from
this, that, or the other thing, but have
always been deeply impressed with the
conviction that our Independence rests
entirely upon our own efforts Simple
industry and careful exactness will be
the making of Ireland. We have it is
true made step but our final indepen-
dence rests entirely upon our own perse-
verance."

HON. A. G. CATTELL.

The Hon. A. G.. Cattell, United States
Senator from New Jersey, has been in
the Senate buta short time, and yet has
accomplished much. 1t is perhaps not
known to all our readers that Mr.. Cattel,
though Jerseyman, is Philadelphia
merchant. In that capacity, he has
achieved noble success; and while he
has done we'll for himself, he has also, by
his urbanity and delicate skill in the man
agement of every trust committed to him,
raised up for himself a host of friends
from among the best men of the city,
He is at once power in New Jersey, in
Pennsylvania, and in Washington. Per-
haps no man has entered the Senate,
from the very beginning, who has at
once taken so prominent and so infuen-
tal position in its most important bust
ness. His eulogy upon Senator Wright
showed him to be an excellent though
not practiced speaker, while it also re-
vealed the heart of noble and generous
citizen. His speech on the tariff, which
has been circulated by scores Of thous-
auds, has won for him the reputation of
profound student of political economy
He took hold of his theme as one familiar
with it in its practical as we'll as its theo-
retical aspects, and has had the satisfac-
ton of seeing himself quoted and thank
ed by the press throughout the country.
He has laid Philadelphia, and we doubt
not the country, too, under great obliga-
tions by the part he took in securing
League Island as the depot for United
States iron-clad vessels. This business
had struggled and halted in Congress
for several years. 1t seemed to need
new light, the touch of a fresh and skill
full hand, to finish it. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Cattelps speech before the Senate
Committee, the determination was reach
ed; and the people of Philadelphia ac.
knowledge that, while they owe much to
their own representatives, they are chief.
ly indebted to New Jersey Senator for
what is destined to be the greatest naval
depot in the country, if not in the world.
There is no telling the vastness to which
the League Island Navy-yard will vet
grow. The time will come when we
shall have scarce any other national ships
than such as are built of iron, and as our
country grows and our navy increases,
how much will League Island add to the
Importance and business of Philadelphia !?
Mr.. Cattell is remarkable example of
success in several different lines. No
one can see and converse with him with
out feeling himself in contact with
prompt and ready strength He is fluent
in discourse, without being rapid; he is
deferentlal in the highestldegree and, at
the same time, frank and candid. In
seeing him now in public aud private
life, one is surprised that he should so
long have remained merely merchant;
land the wish involuntariiy arises that
more of our public men might ripen
amid the trials of honest toll, and thus
come 70 positions Of national honor and
responsibility under deeper sense of the
reality Of life. gaa'

pair of the ugliest lookiDg-savage-snub-

Jakey was just beginning to square,
when his belligerent propositions were
suddenly nipped in the bud, by the SER

more dogs; and no sooner did Jakey's
pups see the new corners, than they
went in; fight ensued both of Jackey's

fectly happy in the transaction, and hav-

the bones of the pups crack with the

a dog fight is the cue for man fight, and
in the wag of dead lambs tail, Jackey
and the proprietor of the sorrel dog had

who. like his dog, was got up on liberal
scale of strength and proportions walked
right into Jakey's calculations, and whirl-

stand of the rural sportsman's room?
Our sporting friend viewed the various
combatants more in bodily fear than
otherwise, and was making break for
the door, to clear himself, when to his
horror and amazement, he found the
entry beset by sundry men and boys and
any quantity.of dogs-dogs of every hue,

fG An able writer gives utterance
to the follwing valuable secret:
"This looking forward to enjoyment

would as soon chase butterflies for a liv-

take the drops Of happiness as God gives

learning his trade; the merchant while
