ALDERNEY COws.-Alderney is well

exported from these islands are generally
from JERSEY, where the cattle are much
the same as those in Aderney-small,
with tapering heads, and OF delicate

from loneliness when separated from their

stretched his arm around the mirror to

GOLDEN WORDS. The habit of looking
upon the bright side is invaluable. Non
and women who are evcrmore reckoning
up what they want instead of what they
have-coun,ing the difficulties in the WAY.
instead OF con irving means to overcome
them-are almost certain to live on corn
bread fat pork. and salt fish. and sink to
unmarked graves. The world is sure to
smile upon Il man who seems to he sue
cc~Sful; bat let him 20 about with a crest
fallen air. and the Very doyS in the streets
will set upon him. We must all have
losses. Late frost will nip the fruit in the
bud. banks will break. investments will
prove worthless. valuable horses will die
and china will break, but all thcS,. calam-
tics DO not come together. The wise
course t. pursue. when one plan fails, is To
form another; when one prop i knocked
from under us. to fill its place with sub
stitutc. and cvermOrc count what is left
rather than what i taken. When the
final reckoning is made, if it appears that
we have not lost the consciousness of our
eternal rcctitudc; if we have kept charity
to ward all men; if 10y the various di>ri-
plne of life we have been freed from fol-
lies and confirmed in virtues, whatever we
have lost. the great balance sheet will be
in our favor.
