wit

Almost all the great poets, orators,
and statesmen of all time have been
witty. When wit is combined with
sense and information, when it ls sOf-
tened by benevolence and restrained
by strong principles, when it is in the
hands of man who is witty, who loves
honor, justice, decency, good nature,
morality and religion ten thousand
times better than wit, wit is then a
beautiful and delightful part of our
nature. There is no more interesting
spectacle than to see the effects of wit
upon the different characters of men,
than to observe it expanding caution,
relaxing dignity, unfreezing cOldness
teaching age and care and pain to
smile extOrting reluctant CLEANS of
pain from melancholy, and charming
even the pangs of grief. 1t is pleasant
to observe how it penetrates through
the cOldness and awkwardness of 30
ciety, gradually bringing men nearer
together, and, like the combined force
of oil and wine, giving man glad
heart and a shining countenance, Cen
inc and innocent wit, like this. is sure
ly the flavor of the mind! Man could
direct his ways by PLAN reason, and
support his ways by tasteless food; but
God has given us wit, and flavor, and
brightness, and perfumes to enliven
the days of mans pilgrimage and to
"charh his panied steps over the burn
ing marble.n

what its ancestors were In the days of

the town the scenes are much the same,
only that there is not so much room for
observing them; for the streets are sell
dom wider than Paternoster Row, and
the traveller who stops to look around
him is roughly jostled by Hlnbad the

or the uncle of Aladdin, with his bas-
ket of copper lamps, or the water-carri-

immense skin slung around his STOPPING

Little by Little,

If you are gaining little by little,
every day, be content, Are your eXpen-
ses less than your income, so that,
though it be little, you are yet constant
ly acCumulating and grow richer and
richer every day? Be content; so far
as concerns money, you are doing we'll.
Are you gaining knowledge every
day? Though it be little by little, the
aggregate of the accumulation, where
no day is permitted to pass without ad-
ding something to the stock, will be sur
prising to yourself.
Solomon did not become the wisest
man i'm the world in a minute. Little
by little-never emitting to learn some
thing, even for a single day--always
reading, always studying little be-
tween the time Of rising up in the NOR
ming and lying down at night; this is
the way to accumulate full stOrehOuse
of knowledge Finally, are you daily
improving in character? Be not dis
couraged because II Is little by little.
The best men fall far short of what they
themselves would wish to be. II is
something, 1t is much, If you keep
good resolutions better to-day than you
did yesterday, better this week than
you did last, better this year than you
did last year. Strive to be perfect, but
do not become downheartened so long
as you are approaching nearer and
nearer to the high standard at which
you aim,
Little by little fortunes are accumu-
lated; little by little, knowledge Is
gained; little by little, character and
reputation are achieved.

The indications of treatment for
nervousness are fourfold. First, we
must remove the cause, we must restore
tone to the heart, improve the condition
of the blood, and brace up the nervous
system; and to these we might add the
treatment of occasional symptoms. All
injurious habitss whatever they are
must be given up, late hours, intemper-
ance in eating, drinking or smoking,
etc. That itself is a good start on the
road to cure: for, believe me, reader,
Nature is very kind. The diet should
be regulated as to time, quantity and
quality. The food ought to be nourish-
ing, and not too sloppy. Soups as a
rule ought to be avoided so long as
solid food can be taken. And remem-
Der never to Overeat. Its a thousand
times better to rise from the table feel
ing that you could eat little more.
Many a man has lived-to ninety simply
from following this rule alone. Bread
should be stale, and the food not over
heating. Refreshing sleep ought to be
secured by exercise. A cold bath
should be taken every morning, and let
early to bed and early to rise" be your
motto. Exercise must on no account
be neglected, and it ought to be exercise
with some degree of interest and ex-
element about it. If young man or
young lady either, there is nothing
better than general course OF athletics.
1t relieves the mind, gives tone to the
nerves, and braces and invigorates the
whole system. Try it. Breakfast early
and dine about two, letting the supper
be two hours before going to bed. Avoid
tea. Change it for good coffee made
with half milk. Never be induced to
take sleeping draught. Above all,
keep up good heart, and cherish resO-
luton. need hardly add that change
of air, cheerful society, and sea-bathing
are great remedial agents in cases Of
nervousness.

WITH THEE.
BY W. W. ELLSWORTH.

I'd rather walk through shower with thee,
Than with another when the air
Is soft with summer, and as fair
The heavens above us as a sea
OF dim, unfAthOmed sapphire, where,
Slow drifting on liquid sky,
The white-sailed ships Of God float by
Sweeter in storm to be with thee,
Dark waters round us, and the roar
OF breakers on an unseen shore
Resounding louder on the lee,-
Than with another, sailing DER
A ripping lake, where angry gale
May never rend the silken sail.

Our Habits,

"Like flakes of snow that fall unper-
ceived upon the earth, the seemingly
unimportant events of life succeed one
another, Asthe snow gathers together,
so are our habits formed; no single flake
that is added to the pile produces a sem
sible change; no single action creates
however it may exhibit, mans char
acter; but as the tempest hurls the ava
lanche down the mountain, and over
whelms the inhabitant and his habita-
ton, so passion, acting upon the ele-
ments of mischief, which pernicious
habits have broughttogeth may over

MARRIED. in this town, on the 10Th inst,
by Rev. Jno. Rea, Mr.. Ward Debeck, and
Miss Mary Emma KeaIy, both of New
Westminster, B. G..
Quite a romance is attached to the above
marriage. The parents of the young lady
were opposed to the match on account of
difference in religious beliefs. and to de-
feat the engagement placed her in con-
vent to be kept under strict surveillance;
but - Love laughs at lOcksmiths. " and last
Sunday morning while the pupils of the
convent were vending their way to mass,
headed by band of watchful nuns, a car
riage appeared and in a trice this young
lady disappeared inside Of it to the utter
amazement of her companions. A short,
but furious drive brought them to the riv-
er's side where the little steamer Leonora
laid IN readiness, and very quickly the
prov was turned Coward The home of
the brave and the land of tie Free" As
the parties were~ofage it required but a
very brief ceremony here to set the whole

wise, and to that end, should oc casion ever arise, to use the whole power of the State ut my com mand to protect them, alike with all other citizens of the State, in all their legal and constitutional rights.
 HISTORY OF THE STATE.
 It is now seventy-two years the laws of the Federal Govern ment were first extended over this portion of the Fronch Terri tory of Louisiana, and fifty seven years since the Territory of Ar kansas was organized. We claim the prestige of having had the foundation of European civiliza- tion laid within our borders two hundred and ninety-one years ago. The historic annals of this period, so far as Arkansas is con cerned, remain to this day un- written. The citizens of Louls- jana have preserved the French and Spanish records relating to the entire territory of the south west formerly under the dominion of those nations, but the docu ments thus preserved are almost unknown to our people. It may be asked, therefore, whether the time has not come for us to make some effort toward rescuing from oblivion the thrilling records of our history; and 1 submit for your consideration whether it may not be desirable for Us to lend aid and encouragement to the compi- lation of the early history of our. State.

future. In the recommendations of the board fully concur. l am, however, welded to no particular plan upon the question of hnance, and am quite willing to listen to any suggestion, from whatever source, that may promise relief from our endorsements and protection to the taxpayers of the country; and you may rely upon my cordial cooperation in all measures tending to this end.
 FREE SCHOOLS.
 intelligence and virtue being the guards of liberty and the bulwark of free governments" it is made the constitutional duty of the state government to maintain Q system of free schools; and that duty should be performed to the utmost of our ability. l shall give my hearty and earnest sup port to all measures tending to advance the interests of these schools. All legitimate means should be employed to render them the boast and ornament of the State. The money raised for their maintenance should be sa credly applied to that purpose, and no extravaganza or waste in it's expenditure should be toler- ated. While giving to the inter- ests of the common school system the closest attention, those of the Industrial University of the State, and it's Normal Branch at Pine Bluff, and the institutes for the education of Deaf, Mutes, and the Blind, should not be neglected. They should each receive, in hh- eral measure, the fostering care and encouragement of the gov ernment. 1t is the establishment and support of institutions like these that forms, perhaps, not less pointedly than any one other mark the characteristic of an en- frightened and philanthroplc com munitv. It should be our pride, as it is our duty, to maintain them in such state of efficiency as will best promote the objects of the former and afford to tue unfortunates, for whose benefit the latter are designed, every ad- vantage of education which may go to compensate them for their cruel dcprivations, and to render them, instead of burden, intelli- gent and useful members of soci- ety.
