GOLDEN WORDS.

ARLINGTON HOUSE, April 5, 1852.


ARLINGTON HOUSE, April 5, 1852.
Ny Dear Son: Your letters breathe
a spirit Of frankness. They have given my
self and your mother great pleasure. You
must study to be frank with the world;
trankness is the child OF honesty and courage.
Say what.you mean to do on every occasion,
and take it for granted YOU mean to do right.
LII friend asks Il favor, you should grant 1t If
it is reasonable; if not tell him plainly why
you cannot; you will wrong him and you
will wrong yourself by equivocation of any
KIND. Never TO wrong thing to make d
friend or to keep one; the man who requires
you to do 50 is dearly purchased at sacii-
flee. Deal kindly but firmly with your
classmates; you will find it the policy that
wears best. Above all, do not appear to
others what you are not. If you have any
fault to find with any one, tell him, not
others, OF what you complain; there is
10 more dangerous experiment than that OF
undertaking To be one thing before I; mans
face and another behind his back. We
should live, act, and say nothing to the in
jury OF any one. 1t is not only best as It mat
Ter of Il principle, but il Is tile path to peace
and honor. In regard to duty let M, in
conclusion of this laSty letter, inform you
that nearly enc hundred years ago there was
day OF remarkable gloom and darkness,
Stlil Known as me 'Ndlk Gay. Il Gay WIleN
the light sun WAS slowly eHtinguished as ii
by an eclipse. The Legislature of Conecti
cut was in session, aud as its members saw
the unexpected darkness coming OH, they
shared i'll the generate awe and terror. 1t was
supposed BY many that the last day-the day
OF judGtnent-had come. Some one, III the
CONSERVATION of the hour, moved an adj
Journment. Then there arose an Old Purl-
tan legislator, Davenport Stanford, who
said that if the last day had e".ue he desired
to be found at his pace doing his duty, cad
therefore moved that candies be brought,
so that the House could proceed with It's
duty. There was auetness in that mans
mind-the quietless Of heavenly WISDOM
an int1eXibie willingness to obey present
duty. Duty, then, Is the sublimest VOID III
our language. DO your duty III all things
like the old Puritan. You cannot Go more
you should never wish to 90 less. Never
let me and your mother wear one gray hair
for any lack Of duty on your part.
Your atfcctionate father, X. Il. LEE.

The Strike Over.

We are gratified to be able to announce
that the unfortunate differences between, the
Associated Press and the Typographical
Union of this city have been satisfactorily
accommodated. This could not fail to give
satisfaction to the Bulletin, as it felt very
keenly the journalistic isolation to which
it had been subjected.

A performance of educated tleas is at the
present time attracting much attention in
Berlin. At recent exhibition, one of the
most accomplished of the insects, obeying
sudden impulse of it's nature, sprung from
the table and took refuge on the person Of
an illnstuous lady who was among the spec
tators. The exhibitor was in despair, as the
truant was his best performer and said he
would be ruined unless il could be recOv-
cred The lady good natmedly retired to an
adjoining room, and, after few minutes
absence, returned with the lea between her
thumb and forefnger. The exhibitor took
it eagerly, gave one look at it, and then,
with visible embarrassment, said, "Your
Highness will pardon me, but this is not the
flea"

The facetious ailnsion, made some days

The recent explosion of giant powder at
the Hoosac Tunnel by which one man was
killed and another in ured was a very sin
gular one. The blastcrs and man named
Green, whose duty it was to carry eXploders
into the tunnel, were preparing for a blast.
Green had just go. into the blasters' office,
with bunch OF exploders slung around his
neck in the usual way, when one of them
went off, closely followed by others, Sc
verely burning him As these exploders are
discharged by electric currents, the SUPPOSE
ton is that the wire which extend from the
caps of the exploders formed a circuit ard
became charged from the body of the man.
From this the powder which the blasters
were using went off; blowing the back part
of the office to pieces and causing the loss OF
life already stated. Fifty pounds of nitro
glycerine were removed in time to prevent
greater loss Of life. The exploders have
hitherto been considered perfectly safe, but
it is probable that the custom Of carrying
them about the necks Of the miners will not
now be popular.
