LACONICS.

The tenderest heart loves best the Dol,
and courageous one.
GREAT natural gifts brings duties t,
their possessor rather than privileges.
PRoBABLY no historian, however nc
~curate, over wrote as much truth as un
truth.
IMPATIENcE is a sure proof of inferior
strength, and O destroyer of what little
they may be.
GREAT takers use their minds q,
spendthrifts their cash, bestowing it OIL
all objects alike.
WOMEN, we sometimes think, more
easily pardon faults in men than excellence
in each other.
FOLLY has more commentators thar
wisdom-perhaps because her works are
more numerous.
WHEN truth offends no one, it ought
to pass out of the mouth as naturally as
the air we breathe.
How many troubles might mankind
be spared if they would only stop to hear
each others explanation
SOMEBODY compares the passions to run
away horses, which you must tame with let
ting them have their run-a perilous expert
ment in which the rider may break his neck
In the voyage of life we had better initiate
the ancient mariners, who, without losing
sight of the earth, trusted to the heavenly
signs for their guidance. Happy the man,
the tide of whose passions, like that of tho
great ocean, is regulated by light from
above.
EVERY man must patiently bide his time;
not in idleness, in useless pastime, or querul-
GUS detection, but in constantly accomplish
ing his task, that when occasion comes he
may be equal TO it. TIT talent of success Is
nothing more han doing what you can do
well, without q thought or fame. If il comes
at ALL it will come because it is deserved, not
because it IL sought after. 1t is very discreet
and troublesome ambition which cares 50
much what the world says of US to be al
ways anxious about the effect of what we do
or say: to be always shouting TO hear the
echoes Of our voice.
VmTuE.-There is but one pursuit In Life
which 1t is in the power of all to follow, and
Of all TO attain. 1t is subject to no disap.
pointment, since he hat perseveres makes
every difficulty an Advancement, and every
conquest o victory and this is the pursuit
Of virtue. Sincerely to aspire after virtue,
is to gain her and zealously to labor
after her ways, is to receive them. Those
who seek her early, VIII find her before u
Is late her reward, also, is with her, ana
she will come quickly. For the breast Of q
good man is a little heaven commencing on
earth, where the Deity sits enthroned with
ynrivalled influence, giving safety from
danger, and resource from sterility, and
making subjugated passion, like the storm
and wind, to fulfil his word.
DEsPoNDENcY. What right has any one
endowed with IN ordinary share of intel
leot, and blessed with a respectable share
of good health, to despond7 What is the
cause of dependency? What is the mean
ing of it7 The cause is q weak mind, and
the meaning is sin. Providence never
that one of his creatures should
be a victim of a desire to feel and look the
the thunder cloud. Never des-
pond, friendly reader, for one of the first
of vice to the heart is made
through the instrumentality of ~desponden-
Although we cannot expect all the
days and hours TO be gilded by sunshine,
We must not for mere momentary griefs
suppose that they are to be enshrouded in
the mists of misery, or clouded by the
opacity of sorrow aud misfortune.
IRoS is the symbol of civilization;
gold represents wealth. The value of the
former in the arts can be measured only by
the progress of the present age. In its

pace with the scientific discoveries and
improvements. Hence the use of iron
indicates the advancement of nations. Iron
is worth more in the world than all other
metals combined. We could dispense with
gold-it ministers largely to luxury and
refinement, but iron represents the honest
industry of labor. Its use is universal.
There is no California" of iron it is
found in great abundance in every nation of
the earth. From this fact we discover how
indispensable the Creator deemed this metal
to the education and development of man.
ALAPAcA.-The material from which the
fabric known in IN as ALPACA goods
is made, grows on the back of the ALPACA
goat, which is found in the mountainous re-
gions of Peru, and feeds on the coarse,
scanty heritage which grows there. Thu up
per part and sides of the animal are covered
with a light chestnut-Lrown wool, which
hangs down in curls Of nearly one foot in
length, and is soft, fine, and elastic. The
face, as well as the legs, is furnished with
a short, smooth hair, while from the forehead
a stiff, silky hair falls Gown the face. The
goats are sheared annually. and sometimes
every other year. Each animal yields
from ten to twelve pounds of wool. This
is shipped to England and France, the manu-
features of the former being the best in the
world.
INFLUENCE OF AFFECTION There is O
good deal of cant about involuntary
affection in the world, and all that
but a young lady should never let such
foolish nonsense enter her head. She
should allow the pride of conscious
strength of mind to keep lher above every
foolish, vain and nonsensical preference
towards this precious fop, and that idle
att endant, on a lady's will. She should lay it
up in her heart MS an immutable principle
that no love can last if not based upon a
right and calm estimation of good qualities;
or at least, that if the object upon which it
is lnvished be not one whose heart and
whose head are both right, misery will
surely BIO her portion. A sudden preference
for a stranger is a very doubtful kind of
preference; and the lady who allows herself
to be betrayed into such a silly kind of
affection, without knowing a word of the
mans character or his position, is guilty
of an indiscretion which not only reflects
unfayorably upon her good sense, but ar
CUES badly for the nature and ground
work of that affection.
