RISING IN THE WORLD.

You should bear constantly in mind tina t
nine tenths of US are, from the very nature
and necessity of the world, born to gsln our
livelihood by the sweat Of our brow. What
reason, have we then, TO presume that our
children are not to do the same If they
be, as now and then one would be, endow-
ed with extraordinary powers OF mind, those
extraordinary powers of mind may have an
opportunity of developing themselves and
If they have not that opportunity, the harm
Is not very great to US or them. Nor does
it hence follow that the descendants OF la
borers are always to be laborers. The path
upwards is steep and long, to be sure. In
dustry, care, skill excellence, in the present
parent, lay the foundation OF a rise under
more favorable circumstances for the chill
dren. The children Of these take another
rise and by-aud-by the descendants OF the
parent laborer become gentlemen, This IS
The natural progress. 1t is by attemp ptlng
to reach the top at single leap that so
much misery is produced in the world. 30
ciety may aid in making the laborer vlrtu-
GUS and happy by bringing children up to
labor with steadincss, with care, and with
skill. to show them how to DO as many use
ful things as possible to do them all in the
best manner; to set them an example IN
industry, sobriety, cleanliness, and neatness;
to make all these habitual to them, so th?t
they never shall be libable to fall ipts to |
contrary to let them always flo GET af I

THE HUMAN EYE. The language of the
eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can
read in the eyes of your companion, while
you talk, whether your argument hits him
though his tongue viii not confess it.
There is a look by which man shows he is
going to say good thing, and look when
he has said it. Vain and forgotten are all
the offices Of hospitality, if there be no hoh
day in the eye. How many furtiye invita-
tions are ayowed by the eye, though dissem-
bled by the lips. a man comes away from
a company; he has heard no important re-
mark, but if in sympathy with the society,
he is cognizant of such a stream of life aR
has been flowing to him through the eye.
There are eyes that give DO more admission
into them than blue berries others are liquid
and deep wells that men might fall into; and
others are oppressive and deyouring, and
take too much notice. There are asking and
asserting eyes, eyes full of faith-some of
good and some Of sinister omen.

A ROYAL DowRY. The Princes Dagmar
receives rich dover from her father, as is
usual in ordinary families, but from her hus-
band and her father-in law, Alexander IL,
who presents her 10000 silver roubles-
about eighty four cents each-which is to be
invested in Russian funds, the interest to
be paid to the Princess. Theroyal husband
gives his wife 80, 900 roubles, and her annu-
al allowance is to be $4,000 roubles for pin
money. Should the Princess become a wild
ow, her jointure is fixed at s., 900 roubles a
year, with a residence suitable to her rank
and her court to be continued at the charge
of the State. Should, however, she then
quit Russia, the sum would be reduced to
one half The iointure would likewise cease
IN case of second marriage. Even in that
eventually, the Princess would maintain
possession of whatever property she may
have acquired personally and independently
of her husband The Princess Is to receive

The Gerham Organ.

A concert was given at Gorham village on
Wednesday evening, to exhibit the qualities Of
a new organ, lately purchased for the Congre-
gational Church, through the efforts of the
Ladies' Organ Circle. About ten years since
it was decided that new instrument was
needed; and at the suggestion of Mrs. Henry
s. Edwards, then resident of the village, but
now of Massachusetts,, circle was formed and
operations commenced to raise funds by
means of contributions, fairs, strawberry festi-
walls &c., for the purpose of supplying the
want. Good progress had been made towards
this end when the rebellion broke out. Opera
tions then entirely ceased, and were not re-
sumed for nearly six years. Meanwhile the
same ladies and Others were engaged in pro
viding for the wants of our soldiers; and nj
town in the State accomplished more proper
tionately in this direction than the ladies o
Gorham, as has been fully shown in these col
umns.
The required funds, about $4,000, having
been obtained, an organ of about twenty stops
was lately purchased and Prof. Rider who hat
the charge of setting it up, exhibited its quail
tiles on Wednesday evening, in way exceed
ingly creditable to himself and to the maker o
the instrument All present were delighted
with the music; and the only. regret expert
enced was, that the pulpit organ, strong in in
tellectual and moral power, and secure in the
affections of his people, by reason of physica
infirmity had been compelled to resign posi-
tion he was otherwise SO eminently qualified
to occupy. Im
At the close of the concert, on the sugges
ton of Judge Waterman, the Organ Circl'
met, and after mutual congratulations at thu
complete success of their endeavors, voted fl
nally to adjourn. .8 sssE

THE United States of Colombia have found
their South Carolina. The State of Bolivar
has seeded from the Union, and declares that
it henoeforth assumes its separate sovereignty.
The ordinance of secession is formal, and de-
clares that President Mosquera having been
thrown into prison, and successor having
been unconstitutionally put in possession Of
the office, 'the compact of the union between
the States is broken" and in such circum-
stances "the State of Bolivar has the perfect
right to determine what is most convenient
for her interest"
But this secession is declared to be only
temporary. If President Mosquera is released
and restored to his office, then Bolivar resumes
her place in the Uuion at on;e; and in any
event she declares that she will submit to the
authority and decision sf the Congress of 1868
How much this new difficulty adds to tn,
Complication of Colombian affairs is some
thing which the future must determine

STEAM is a rare monster, in fact juggler
able to beat the Japanese. We saw yesterday
some pure water put into a tin dish which
looked like section of a tin boiler; on this
dish was set another section, the bottom and
lining perforated with half-inch holes, and
filed with cabbage, onions, peas, beef, fish,
chicken, all piled in promiscuously together;
on section number two was set section number
three, also with perforated bottom and lining,
and containing custard pudding; a tin cover
completed the arrangements. This complex
steamer was then set over fire in a cooking
stove. No steam escaped; it might have occu-
pied parlor without offence. In sixty min
utes the cover was removed, and 10! in the
first compartment was the pudding, cooked to
nicely, and without a suspicion of flavor
from the meats and vegetables below; in the
second compartment were all the said meats
and vegetables to gether, done to turn, and
each with its natural taste and no other; and
in the lower compartment was nice soup
which had absorbed all the flavors of all the
articles above. If this is not miracle 1t is at
least a very rema rkable fact. The exhibition
was given at the United States Hotel, by Mr..
}. E. Schumacher, agent for Zimmerman's pa
tent steam cooking apparatus, which may be
seen at the store of o, M. & D, w. Nash, and
Is certainly very wonderful invention on the

EXPLORATION OF THE COLORADO RIVER. The

Captain Adams, who has been prominent in
opening up the Colorado River, and has been
attempting to get authority to organize small
expedition, has at last received such assurance
es in official and congressional circles as to JUS
tify him in making all the preparations for
full survey, and he will start at once for san
Francisco, and thence to the present head Oh
navigation ON the Colorado. The enterprise IS
regarded by all who understand it as OF very
great importance. 1t is claimed that IL VIII

of the government for posts in New Mexico
and Arizona will be reduced nearly one half
