Good Nature.

Good nature is one of the best
things in the possession of man.
When it is constitutional, it is in
valuable. How many evils it bears
and hence avoids them, and their
Consequence. But good nature
may be cultivated. The most is to
begin. Perseverance will soon get
up q maitland then the thing is
easy. A good natured man has
few enemies from necessity and to
have enemies is not only dangerous,
but very uncomfortable. Good
nature is Christianity, the best OF
all things among men, as all the
wise men of the world, and the
greatest of them, have advocated.
To cultivate good nature, is to cul-
tivate Christianity. All !! how un-
wise we are not to heed this thing,
Not that we do not know it F.; but ii
is so hard to mortify it is so hard
to suffer in order to get good. II
is however, the way. We must
work if we would succeed; if we
would become eminent. And II
the great improvement of the age,
this is one of the things that must
keep pace-the cultivation of
good heart-good nature.

Religion

At all times Of life, / think, is the
chiefest treasure of human achieve
ment. But if it be wise in such
matters to speak of what a man has
not only experienced, and so known
by heart, then l should say, l think
true religion is not quite whole
and mature in childhood, youth, OF
manhood that it takes old age TO
make it complete in all its parts
and perfect in each detail. Child
hood has its bud, growing from the
germ which none notice in baby
hood; youth has its fower-hov
fair and sweet thing it is; il
manhood comes the full foliage, ant
the expanding fruit falling, appl
by apple as it gets ripe ; but in oil
age only appears, l think, the flu
harvest, when the very leaves turl
into beauty ere they die, and tn
full, ripe apples hang handsome o.
the tree, or falling, clothe the groun
with their sweet lovliness, eac
one fruit historic, pointing back
also a seed prophetic of anothe
Spring whose sun rises not on u
here; we have its dawnings, not il
day.

THANKFULNEss.- one occasion,
Charles Dickens was upholding the
theory that whatever trials and diff
culties might stand in a mans path,
there is always something to be thank
full for. "Let me in proof thereof
said Dickens, "relate a story: Two
men were to be hanged at Newgate for
murder. The morning arrived; the
hour approached; the bell of st. Sep
ulchre's began to toll; the convicts
were pinioned; the procession was
formed; it advanced to the fatal beam
the ropes were adjusted round the poor
mems necks; there were thousands of
motley sightseers of both sexes, of all
ages, men, women, and children, in
front of the scaffold when, Just at
that second of time, bull, which was
being driven to Smithfeld, broke its
rope, and charged the mob right and
left, scattering people everywhere with
its horns. Whereupon one of the con-
demned men turned to his equally un-
fortunate companion, and quietly OBJ
served, Il say, Jack, its a good thing

American Tourists in Italy.

In the letter which Mr.. Ruskin has
lately addressed to the working classes,
he sketches some people whom he met
when going from Venice to Verona, by
an afternoon train. He writes: In the
carriage with me were two American
girls with their father and mother, peo-
pie of the class which has lately made
so much money suddenly, and does not
know what to do with it; and these
two girls, of about fifteen and eighteen,
had evidently been INDUCED in every
thing since they had had the means }
which Western civilization could ina
gine. And they were travelling through
a district which, if any in the world,
should touch the hearts and delight the
eyes of the young girls. Between We
nice and Verona Portals villa per-
haps in sight upon the Brenta-Juliet's
tomb to be visited in the evening-blue
against the southern sky, the hills of
Petrarch's home Exquisite midsum-
mer sunshine, with low rays, glanced
through the vine leaves all the Alps
were clear, from the lake of Garda to
Cadore, and to farthest Tyrol. What
princess's chamber, this, if those are
princesses, and what dreams might they
not dream therein! But the two
American girls were neither princesses,
nor seers, nor dreamers. By infinite
self-indulgence they had reduced them
selves simply to two of white putty that
could feel pain. The flies and the dust
stuck to them as to clay, and they per-
ceived between Venice and Verona no.
thing but the flies and the dust. They
pulled down the blinds the moment
they entered the carriage, and then
sprawled, and writhed, and tossed
among the cushions of it, in vain con-
test, during the whole fifty miles, with
every miserable sensation of bodily af-
Fiction that could make time intoler-
able. They were dressed in thin white
frocks coming vaguely open at the backs
as they stretched or wriggled; they had
French novels, lemons and Jumps of
sugar to beguile their state with; the
novels hanging together by the ends of
string that had once stitched them, or
adhering at the corners in densely bruis-
ed dog sears, out of which the girls,
wetting their fingers, occasionally ex-
tricated gluey leaf. From time to
time they cut lemon open, ground
lump of sugar backwards and forwards
over it till every fibre was in a treacly
pulp; then sucked the pulp. and gnawed
the white skin into leathery strings, for
the sake of its bitter. Only one SEN
tence was exchanged in the fifty miles
on the subject of things outside the
carriage (the Alps being once visible
from station where they had drawn
up the blinds)- - Don't those snow
caps make you cool ;" No; / wish
they did" And so they went their
way, with sealed eyes and tormented
limbs, their numbered niles of pain.

Thieves are being intercepted in various
parts of New England with plunder seized
in Boston during the excitement and confu-
sion of the fire. One man has been caught
at Lawrence with three large trunks in his
possession containing shawls, dress goods
boots. shoes, umbrellas, jewelry by the peck
etc. He had also checks for more than fif-
teen trunks. All this plunder would un-
doubtedly have been destroyed if this man
had not rescued it, but since he took the
trouble to save it, it is likely to be restored
to the owners, and he will probably be pun
ished for the un;ntentional service that he
has done them
