Cheerfalness at Home or Hoping for
the Best. e. .lE

Oh what q blessed thing is srnil.
ing, heavenly, cheerfulness in little
folks and great folks, under the most
trying and painful . dispensation of
Providencel 1t is like "Apples of
gold in pictures Of silver"
"a happy heart will ever be
:" Acrown Of richest blessing; r.s5 ).
Life is deprived. Of half its i'll,
happy heart possessing:
Then who. OIL who will troubles bear,
Nor choose happy heart to wear9
"a cheerful emile will drive away
Each want 30 bleak and dreary;
| Twill sooihe the pangs of .ickness, too,
| And cheer the sad and weary;
Then who will proudly scorn-ohl who
The good cheerful smile can do9
"a cheerful word will ever be
Awsll of pleasure springing,
Like joyous spring, all bright and gay,
Sweet buds and fow'rets inging;
Sweet flowers Of Hope-then let who may,
cheering who in kindness ssyi"
Do not fret, little folks and great
folks, for God has ordained all things
that are or will be, and among these
are your troubles. Instead of fret
ting, "count it all joy when yo fall
into divers t. als," for "tribulation
worketh patti. ace, and patience expe.
rience; and experience hope; and hope
makcth not ashamed, because the
love Of God is shed in our hearts,"
DO not fret, for Gods providence
governs all things. Consider tue
hairs of your head, the fowls of the
air, the lilies of the field. Thus stay
your heart on God, thou shalt be kept
in perfect peace.
Among parents, calmness, patience,
cheerful good nature, are Of vital i'm.
portance. Many child goes astray,
not because there is want of prayer
or virtue at home, but simply because
home lacks sunshine. A child needs
smiles as, well as flowers need sun
beams. Let every father and mother,
then, be happy ,look happy, talk to
the little ones in such a way as to
make them happy.
In happy home there will be no
fault finding, no overbearing spirit,
no peevishness, no fretfalness; nm,
kindness will not dwell in the heart;
or be on the tongue. oh, the tears,
the sighs. the wasting Of life, and
health, and strength, and time, Of an
that is most to be desired in 4 happy
home, occasioned merely by unkind
wordsI The celebrated Mr. Wesley
remarked, that fretting and scolding.
seemed like tearing the fiesh from
the bones; and that we Nave kv no more
right to be guilty OF this than We
have to curse, or swear, ior steal. In

QUARRELING.-If anything in the
world will make a man feel badly, ex-
cept pinching his fingers in the crack
of door, it is unquestionably quar-
rel. No man ever fails to think less of
himse after it than before. 1t degra-
DIES him in the eyes of others, and,
what is worse. blunts his sensibilities
on the one hand, and increases the
power Of passionate irritably on the
other. The truth is, the more peace
fully and quietly we get on, the neigh
bors. In nine cases out of ten, the
better course is, if man cheats you,
cease to deal with him; if he is abus-
i've, quit his company ); and if he SLAM
ders you, take care to live so that no.
body will believe him. No matter who
he is, or how he misuses you. the
wisest way is to let him alone; for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm
and quiet wayof dealing with the wrongs
we meet With.

been Count Auguste de Polier, an ex-

West from New York six months since,

The New POSTAGE STAMPS, which are
soon to be issued by the Post Office
Department, are described as quite
novel. They are intended to symbo-
lie, as far as. possible, American insti-
tutions and characteristics.
The one cent postage has on it the
head of Franklin, our first Postmaster
General.
The two, three and twelve cent
stamps, illustrate the progress in mail
transportation, by primitive rider on
horseback, the railroad train and the
steamship. The remaining six stamps
of the set are all nationally ornament
ed
The six cent stamp, bears the head
of Washington, and that of ninety
cents portrait of Abraham Lincoln
The fifteen and twenty-four cent
stamps, have on them miniature copies
of the pictures in the Capitol, 1.-The
Landing of Columbus" and the ''Dec-
laration of Independence
On the ten cent stamp, the Ameri-
can shield, and on that of the value Of
thirty cents, is seen group of the
shield, the eagle and the flag. planted
in the national colors.

when the House had again resumed its
usual order, it was whispered about that
Il" both were as we'll as could. be expected"
Miss T~ouchmenot hoped that no ques
ton would be taken in the present excited
and nervous state Of this body. She was
sure the female side of this House would
be quite incapable of deliberate action
till after a cup Of tea and a nights rest.
Sac would therefore move an adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Oldfogee, Of Hull, wished the State
and Union to observe which side of this
House it was that made these frequent
motions of adjournment early in the after
noon. lie would say nothing about the
propriety of one half this House being
here at all-it was too late to say that
now-but being here he insisted they
should nurse the interests Of the ommOn
wealth, and let the rising generation slide.
Here the speaker was coughed down
with graat promptness by the feminine
side Of the House, and the adjournment
was made without a vote, the lady mem
bers having generally put on their bon
nets and quit the House under much
excitement.
