Hypochoudriacal Humbugs.

A writer in London Cosmopolitan
observes:
There are hypocondriacal humbugs
of q mental kind, somewhat of the
Byronic order. who, though nature
has given them the faculty of enjoy.
ment and enough to make them cheer.

melancholy, and always look on the
shady side of things. They think il
interesting" to appear morose, cyni,
cal and despondent. And, strange
to say, they are not generally
those who have seen much OF life,
or have bitter experience OF many
years to allege as reason for their
gloomy views. Indeed, they are
,ftenest just at the entrance of their
'eal life work. Young ladies, who
like one of Mr.. Dickens characters,
at two and twenty declare the world
to be a desert of Sahara, who pro.
fess to find nothing enjoyable in ex-
istence, who persist in cherishing
some disappointment of their early
teens, and protest that on account OF
blighted affections and withered
hopes they are quite unable to take
any interestiu the pleasures or duties
of life. These are hypochondriacal
humbugs of the mental sort. Young
men who rail at the frailtyz omen
snarl at matrimOny, sneer vde pur-
suits which please their comrades,
are bitterly denunciative of every,
thing which men call happiness, and
with gloomy satisfaction tell you
that the world is a mere muddle OF
misery and wrong, while they as
sumo to surrender themselves with
the resignation Of despair to the
dreary lot which destiny has assigned
them-these also are hypochondria-
cal humbugs of the mental sort, whose
melancholy and insipid sentimental
ism is all shame, put on to cover the
most commonplace feelings.

CATHOLICS IN NEW YoRK.-The
Catholics claim that the number OF
their faith in New York is not less
than six hundred thousand. This
estimate may be exaggerated, but
there is no doubt the Catholics are
more numerous than any other sect
in New York. and that their number
is rapidly increasing. AS a rule
they are the poorest Of the popula-
ton, and yet they surpass all other
in hberality when churches are to
be purchased or built.

American Notes. by Charles Dicken,

American Notes, by Charles Dickens
Ticknor & Fields are publishing
their elegant and cheap editions of
Dickens in the most entsrprising
way. The latest of his works from
their press is American Notes, in pa
per, for general circulation. The fol-
lowing editorial from the New York
Tribune hits the nail on the head
and, we believe, suggested the idea
of a cheap edition of American
Notes -
1--WE regret to observe that one or
two Journals are spiteful enough to
print very unkind remarks about
Charles Dickens. in anticipation of
his forthcoming visit to America
Mr.. Dickens said some pretty hard
things of US many years ago; but it
is by no means certain that we did
not deserve them but even if we did
not, any man of sense ought to know
that whatever little injury he ever
did us has been twenty times out
weighed by the substantial good he
has conferred upon the world. The
fact is, we doubt whether those who
are now rudest in their censure of the
great novelist know how much truth
and good sense are embodied IN
the writings with which they princi-
pally find fault, and how groundless
is the assertion that he abused the
hospitality which we forced upon
him. Itwould be wise thing-good
for Mr.. Dickens and good for our
selves-if our publishers would take
the present opportunity to put upon
the market new edition of the Amer
lean Notes; that would help us to
know how little we had to complain
of from the hands of our guest, how
much we have mended in our man
ners, and hos much there is still to
mend"

Il Secret that Trayels. is a
short game, but rather amusing; it is
to be played with either circle or
line formed of the players. When all
are ready, one person begins by whis-
pering secret to her left hand neigh
Dor, who repeats it to the next, and
so on till all have heard it; then the
last person who is told speaks it aloud
and the one who commenced the game
must repeat what her secret was, ex-
actly as she first worded it, and then
all the party will know whether it re-
turned as it was given, or how much
it gained or lost while travelling. If
the players are. told to pass on the
secret without knowing that it will be
exposed, they will not be as careful to
repeat it correctly as when they know
the game, and by this means greater
diversion will be afforded.

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent

This is a journey Only;
And though we oft, affTighted,
Shrink back with sigh and moan,
Our camp fires still are lighted
"a days march nearer home"
Nearer home Nearer home!
Oh, Joy beyond expressing
That over thorn and stone, as
Our feet are homeward pressing;
For though we leave behind us
Some buds ofhope unknown,
The sunset still doth find us
"A days march nearer home"

Beneath thy shining dome,
No tides of grief are sweling
And toward thy fadeless glory
With eager haste we come,

Soon, through its open portals,
The ransomed hosts will come,
To welcome us immortals.

With wrecks or roses strewn,
Each night we'll sing in chorus.
