WANT OF pEcIs1oN.-A great deal Of la
Dor is lost to the world for the want of little
courage. Every day send to their gravss OBJ
scure men, who have only remained in obscur-
!ty because their timidity has prevented them
from making a first effort and who, if they
had only been induced to begin, would, in all
probability, have gone great lengths in the ca
reer of fame. The fact is, that in doing any
thing in the world worth doing We must not
stand on the bank shivering, thinking Of the
cold and danger, but jump in and scramble
through as well as we can. It will not do to
be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting
nice chances; it did all very we'll before the
food, when man would consult his friends
upon an intended publication for one hundred
and fifty years, and live to see its success for
six or seven centuries afterward, but, at pres
ent, man waits and doubts, and consults his
brothers and uncles and particular friends, un-
til one Gay he finds he is sixty five years of
age, and that he has no more time to iniiaw
their advice. There is SO little time for over
squeamishness at present that the opportuni-
ty slips away The very period of lifeat which
a man chooses to venture. if ever, is so con
fined, that it is no bad rule to preach up the
necessity, in such instances, of little vio-
lencc done to the feeling, and efforts made in
defiance of strict and sober calculations

WHAT is PROGRESSIVE AGRIcu LTURE =
The New York Observer answers this ques-
ton in few words, but very comprehensive
ly, as follows: "Under its influence springs
up tasty and convenient dwellings, adorned
with shrubs and flowers, and beautiful within
with the smiles Of happy wives, tidy children
in the laps Of thoughtful age, broad hearts
and acts as we'll as words Of welcome. Pro-
gressive agriculture builds barns and puts
cutters about them, builds stables for cattle
and raises roots to feed them. It gratis wild
apple trees by the meadow with pippins or
greenings--it sets out new orchards and takes
care of old ones. 1t drains low lands cuts
down bushes, buys mower, horse, tools and
wagons keeps good fences and practices soil
ing, It makes hens lay, chickens live, and
prevents swine from roofing up meadows
Progressive agriculture keeps on hand plen.
ty Of dry fuel, and brings in oven wood
tor the women. It plows deeply, sows pleu-
tifully, and prays for the blessings Of heaven.
Finally, it subscribes for good, religious, ag-
ricultural and family journals, and pays for
them in advance; advocates free schools, and
always takes something besides the family, to
the county fair."

| Mason, mediate on the wonders of crea,
ton ; admirable, endless and incomprehensi.
bic sway, that speaks by the sentiment of good
of justice; that manifests itself to the heart
that embraces the soul, that spbd4es the spir.
it. Everywhere thou seest the harmony, the
beauties of nature, the limit to thy magma
ton SO active. Lift up thy heart directly to
the Master Of all things, to this admirable,
endless, incomprehcnsible sway that speaks to
you, not through the organ of men-the
equals, but by the sentiment of the good and
just
Blame not, and condemn less, the religion
of others, for many of the ignor ant speak i'll
of religion. In the course OF the work you
will find the true religion. Seek not to con-
vert. The G.. A. 0. T. U. asks only Of thee
the reckoning of thy works. Do not render
myself responsible for the errors and weak
nesses Of other men, as myself the object Of
candor and divine love.
Forget not that wisdom is the fruit of ex-
perience, but that experience is not acquired
except by force Of reflection on the actions
An active life diffuses the seeds of wisdom
He who does not reflect, does not reap the
harvest, but drags the burden of his years,
loses his life, and does not perceive that he is
growing old, but by his in6rmities.
Consider what triumph of passions is the re-
union Of wisdom and virtue with justice and
liberty. The freemen are the wise, the wise
are the just; and liberty is to them but the
power to do good, to perfect themselves ac-
cording to reason, to make us happy The
human race is for the true Mason the great
family of man, the holy family of God and
in whatever part of the globe he is, he is in
his family, since he has God for father and
men for brethren Be benefcent and true;
avoid all quarrels; defend myself from intern
perance and from excuses; be discreet in thy
conduct affable towards men, thy brethren;
cultivate all virtues; multiply the sciences,
the light and truth. Never SANDER, for we
often add more to the worst of all-thc pride
to believe ourselves better Love, friendship,
and fraternity for all men; respect for wo-
men reverence for the aged; piety for faith
ers and mothers tenderness tor brothers and
sisters generosity and bene6cence for widows
and orphans; aud, In short humanity to all
our equals-this is the worship We owe hu-
man.
Forgive thine enemies do not avenge thy
self, but by good deeds. This generous sac
riGce will produce for thee the purest of pleas
ures, and thou wilt become the life image of
the Divinity It is the sublimest triumph of
reason over instinct. Masops, let us forget
injuries, but never favors.

clip with eincessant industry all the little
items that together form so large an interest

through the newspaper lens. He looks across
