Light and trifing minds do not succeed in

men should be Immediately removed. Inc

TIE PLEASURES OF HorE.-The soul, how
ever dclnded it may be by its influence, should
always repose in Hope. 1t is sweet siren,
which teaches us to laugh at care, to trample
upon thorns, to forget sorrow and to Danish
the tear. Whenever it fixes its abode in our
bosoms the sad aspects of life are blotted from
the sight, and tho eye catches bright glimpses
of the morrow. The heart flies TO it when op-
pressed by sorrow, and with smile bids the
rude tempest to cease. Its anchor is the
Choir of peace. May it ever remain buried deep
in the breast! Its heavenly light can make
every scene of sadness pleasing by fixing the
sight upon future bliss, and changing anguish
to ease 1t bids the thoughts of the poet to
aspire, it brcathcs influence over his verses,
and adds to the celestial fire. 1t makes the
painter trace the genuine beauties of nature.
1t bids tie anxious bosom of the ambitious
glow by holding out to them prospects of
climbing the steep ascent of fame, gaining
deafness immortality, and sharing the praise
of the great. Its magic power can calm the
gricfs of absence. 1t sheds soothing balm
over the heart Of the captive in his gloomy
waste of waters taste of ideal pleasures and
tread lis native shores. 1t impavtS Joy to the
wretch who, assaulted by keen rcmursG or feel
ing the dart of misfortune, bcwaiis his haplcsS
fate. Its voice, like that Of "A benign cnchant-
rcss, tells him that pleasures may yet bloom
for him, and that the precious tear of friend
ship shall soften chase away The gloom of
misfortune. 1t charms the lovers eye with
dear delusions, and strcws upon his pathway
flowers which lie fondly thinks too bright to
die. 1t sootheS the .pensiYe breast with the
faTcst visions, and removes poignant sadness
from his aching heart, to supply it's place with
gay smiles and dazzling happiness. To all
classes of people, and i'll every scene of life,
Hope is radiant sunshine to the soul.

WELL ENoUGu.-Tbis is very significant
phrase, significant of dangerous laXity in the
character and conduct of those with whom it
is habitual. "That will do quite we'll enough"
81 have done it we'll enough not
words ever uttered by those who have n high,
that is, a1erue sense of duty. No man who
knows what work ought to be can talk of any
thing he has done as being nell enough. 1t isa
lazy, slovenly, "make-shift" sort of spirit
that can for a moment tolerate the idea of
doing any given business just merely " we'll
enough" Nothing is done we'll enough that
still go on "bettering what is best" To do
this, we must keep our minds well braced up
to the highest point they can be stretched to,
without an over-strain. Depend upon it, this
tension is better for US morally, intellectually,
aye. even physically, than the state of relaxa-
ton which is evinced by tho use of the words,
Oh, that will do quite well enough"

TIE YOUTUFUI. OYSrER.-An observer of the
oyster says he is not SO stupid as lie looks. He
can keep his mouth shut, and thereby defy all
our arts to vile Il secret from him. When
spattiug time With the oyster comes, it is said
tn be sick milky. This appearance is due to
earlier stages Of development, OF n creamy
consstenco of color. When the spat is mature,
it assumes the appearance of>the scrapings of
Il slate pencil; the parent oyster then opeas4.s
shell, and kind of Inistiness is observable i'll
the surrounding water. THIS is caused by the
myriads of young oysters scattered i'll every
direction. No sooner are these tiny creatures

mentary organs, while affixed to the mantle is
kind of tiny coronet, composed of minute,

Josh Billings says: Tho positive man bets
his last dollar on a card and loses and then
tells you lie knew lie shouldn't win. He always
knows what will happen three weeks from
now, and if it don't happen he knew that too.
Ii he falls down on the ice and breaks his leg,
it warn't an accident, it was something that
couldn't help but happen. lie is as certain of
everything as mule is anxious to hit what
he kicks at. You can't tell him anything new,
nor anything old; he is more certain of things
H.an Webster unabridged dictionary. Tho less
certain you are the moro positive he is. He
never made but ono blunder in his life, and
that turned out at last to be good hit. The
positive man las too little cunning to be very
malicious he is generally happy because he is
positive of it, and though he gets the things
wrong oftcner than he does right, people are
pleased Mt his blunders because he is SO much
in earnest.

"Lct us ascertain by few questions ex-
actly how we regard our children. Do we
think God has lent US for few years an
immortal soul to train for Him, and has in
formed us that strict account will be TO-
onired of SO great tyustP Or, do we not,
even before we actually have the treasure,
think entirely of its little body, and pre-
pare for our maternity superabundance

only for ornament7 How is it when the
little one is one year old? Has the mother
ever, in all that long year, asked of God
additional grace, that she might remember
her trust and succeed in bringing up her
charge Alright 7 Let us look ut the picture
when the child is four years old. There
can be no doubt that he now understands
everything that is said to him, and speaks
luently in response. The mothers heart
is proud of his beauty, his smartness, and
his aptitude for initiating all around him :;
she keeps him dressed in the best of clothes
and in his hearing she entertains her visi
tors with tales of his exploits; and his va
rious acts of independence and disobedi-
cnce, and impudent speeches are spoken of
as rcdounding praise to the boys manliness
and perhaps laugh ends au exclamation
that if he goes on in this way she is sure
she doesn't know what to do with him. Is
the influence of such conversation on his

KEEPING Up ArrEARANCES.-Far too
often an appearance of luxury, but with
real wretchedness exists in the same habita-
ton. Living in fine house with very strait
ened means frequently entails great discom-
fort, and is in most cases excessively impru-
dent, although under others it may be quite
the reverse. A respecta BILE looking house,
in q desirable locality, is to q profession
or trade absolutely necessary to future
success, even though the tenants be poor.
The style of a house in n decree deter
mines the class, credit, or means o: its
occupier, even though he be without
fixed income, and living to the extent of
or beyond his means. Where there is u fixed
income, derivable from whatever source, it
is positive dishonesty to live in finer
house than tho means honestly permit
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people
make no calculations how far their in comes
will go, or in what manner their money
should be spent. The daily life of the
household is a happy -go-lucky style the
wife has her allowance freely given some
times without any consideration of what
proportion the nm0nnt SO allotted really
should bear to the entire income but by
those acting thus it is soon found that
both ends will not meet, and "once in debt
rarely out of troub!e,n for tho home, and
all that the word means arc neglected, and
contention and wretchedncss are rife

The Sugar Planter, published at West
Baton Rouge says: Another evidence of
the rapid decline of New Orleans is shown
in the receipts of the Lydia Thompson
troupe ut the Academy of Music, which in
four weeks amounted to -$3J, 900. The
poor, suffering people of that city can
effort to spend money literally for amuse-
ments, and yet contribute nggardly to any
enterprise calculated to permanently inn
prove the business of their city, and then
We hear them shrek despairingly decay

Grief that is most uuseish is always
hardest to bear. y selfish heart will com
fort itself with the little merciful compen-
satiors that life is ever providing, but tho
heart that aches for another cannot even
relish peace while evil has hold of tho ono
beloved.
