fitted to the other parts. One is sus-
tained and preserved by all, and all is
sustained by each one. Better means
Lycurgus could not well have chosen
to accomplish the object which he had
in view, namely, to form State, that,
being isolated from all the rest, would
be sufficient and capable of itself, by
its internal circular course and a pecu-
liar living power, to preserve ITSELF
No Lawgiver before had ever. given
to State that unity, that national in
terest, that public spirit, which Lyeur-
gus gave to his own. And whereby
hath Lycurgus wrought this? By
this, that he knew how to direct the
energies of his fellow citizens to the
State, and to close against them all
other ways, that might withdraw them
from the State.
By his Institutes, he had removed
Them all that can ifetter human souls,
or infiame the passions, except politi-
cal interests. Riches and pleasures,
sciences and the arts had no access to
the minds of the Spartans. BY means
of equally general poverty, the con-
trast of wealth and lowliness disap-
peareo; for wealth, in most men, en-
kindles ayarice; the eager desire for
possessions was annihilated with the
opportunity to exhibit them and en-
joy them. n. P.

THE BEAUTY OF A BLUsH.-Goethe
was in company with a mother and
daughter; when the latter, being re
proved for something, blushed and
burst into tears. He said:
Chow beautiful your reproach has
made your daughter! That crimson
hue and those silyery tears become
her much better than any ornament of
gold or pearls. Those may be hung
on the neck of any woman, but these
are never seen disconnected with
moral purity. A full-blown rose be-
sprinkled with the purest dew is not
SO beautiful as this child, blushing be-
meath its parents displeasure, and
shedding tears of sorrow for its fault.
A blush is the sign which nature
holds out to show where chastity and
honor dwell"

bore testimony of his. life. The love
of fame kept up an ever-during ex-
citement, the national spirit received
an unceasing sustenance; the idea of
.fdtherlaad and of patriotic interests
grew together with the inmost life of
all her citizens. The public festivals
afforded other occasions, to infame
these motives and impulses; and such
festivals were very numerous in idle
Sparta. At these, warlike national
hymns were sung, which had for their
usual contents the fame of those who
had fallenin the service of their coun-
try, or other indictments to heroism.
They used to appear at these festivals,
divided into three choirs according to
their age. The choir Of the elders
first began to sing as follows: In
q former time aCe acre heroes" The
choir of men in their prime answered
"HeroeS are zoe noac; come schoereT

Coop Jok4 on Hosros 1.-The town was
laughing yesterday at the reply Of Genersl
Clinton to a toast offered to Boston at a
supper given night before last to the Boston
Capitalists, who have gotten possession Of
the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad.
The General being called on to reply to a
toast to s'bostop." said he was happy to pay
his respects to city which had just elected
Democratic Mayor, which was the cradle
of the Ku Klux Klan in having originated
that first disguised band which threw the
tea into the harbor, and which was the home
of John Hancock who, when Governor of
the State, sent an aid-de-camp to receive
President Washington, declaring that the
President was the agent of the State, and
should wait upon the Governor, and not the
Governor upon the President. We suppose

We are always looking into future, but
we see only the post.
The courage with which we have met
past dangers is often oHr best security in the
present.
Real sorrow is almost as difficult to dis
cover as real poverty. An instructive deli
cacy hides the rays Of the one and the
wounds of the other.
He who has never denied himself for the
sake of giving, has but glanced at the joys
of charity We owe our supcrfuity, and to
be happy in the performance of our duty we
must exceed il.
Let US never exceed our appointed duties,
and keep within our lawful pleasures.
We except everything. and We are pre-
pared for nothing. .ll-...

Each quicken'd breath is but a sigh,
Closing the earthly span.
And withsthe day, a week has died,
And gone forever more,

Thus tits with human hopes and plans.
They, too, soon pass away,
And leave the soul in gloomy bands.
That hold giant sway.
With day and week, a month has passed,
Beyond the rapid stream,
A wreck in dark oblivion cast,
Where beacons never beam,
Thus tits with joys we fend1y love,
They vanish like a breath,
Our only Joy is found above;
Below, all ends in Death.
DAYS. Weeks, and Months, and 1eeting years,
Sink to one common tomb,
And not sigh or parting tear
Can break the midnight gloom.
Fen so with all Of human kind.
From babe to buoyant youth,
And hoary head they all must find
A common sleep in death. rt
Then as with time we pass adown
The highway to the tomb, 1si
MAY virtue wear a shining crown.
To rob it of its gloom.-'
And when the grave of time is made,
And God the Son shall come,
May W g in robes of white arrayed,
Be welcome toour home. ,..f.

SELF-REspEcr AND SELF DEPENDENCE. -
Be and continue poor, young man, while
others around YOU grow rich by fraud and
disloyalty be without place or power, while
others beg their ways upward; bear the pain
of disappointed hopes, while others gain
theirs by aattery; forego the gracious pres
sure of the hand for which others cringe and
crawl Wrap yourself in your own virtue,
and seek friend and your daily bread u
you have in such course grown gray with
unbleached honor, bless God and die.
