The great secret of gaining bappi-
ness in life is to enjoy the present. To
be doing one thing and thinking Of
another is very unsatisfactory mode
of spending life. Some people are al
ways wishing themselves somewhere
but fwhero they are, or thinking Of
something else than what they are
doing, or Of somebody else than to
whom they are speaking. This is the
way to enjoy nothing, odo nothing we'll
and to please nobody. Itis better to be in
terested in inferior persons and inferior
things than to be Indifferent with the
best. A principal cause Of this indiffer-
ence is the adoption Of other peoples
tastes instead of cultivation Of our own


-thep pursuit after tbatfoS which wet are
not fitted, and to which consequently
we are not m reality inclined. This
folly pervades more or are less all class
es, and arises from the error OF building
our enjoyment on the false foundation
of the worlds opinion, instead of be
ing, with due regard to others each his
own world -Lddy's journal.

One thing may be set down as a
certainty of the future, and that is,
that the Anglo-Saxon race will pos
Sess Mexico, and establish therein
the Anglo-SaXon institutions. II
the Americans foolishly decline to
be the instruments i'm the forward
ing of that destiny, the English will
not. The question before us is, as
put by a Washington journal:


"Shall we wait until Great Brit
ain, relieved of the dangerous COM
plications of the Eastern question,
shall turn her attention and her
OverpOwering navy toward that
point, which she has already tried
to Anglicize with the name Of Grey
town, and which she knows to be
the second great link of trade in
the world TO her il is second to
the Suez canal, and, possessing both,
she would certainly hold them ;
against European powers, perhaps,
with her policy of free trade, but
against us with the strong arm.


To remain Spanish and Greaser is
for Mexico impossible. 1t must be
and will be Anglo-Saxon. If it be-
long not to the American branch of
that great composite race, it will
and ought to belong to the vigorous
and aggressive British branch.

AT Stokesley, Yorkshire, Eng
land, lives a man who once assisted
in singing the whole of the 10th
Psalm, and this is how it is said
to have happened. The parson of
church had an invitation to at
tend a marriage breakfast, and so
made his sermon very short in order
that he might be punctual. The
clerk, however, objected to this
way of passing the Sabbath, and
when the time for singing came
gave out the 10th Psalm. The
clergyman did not at first notice
what was going on, and when he
did the musicians were fairly at
work and could not be stopped.
The air was never lost. The fiddlers
wore out their bows and strings,
the flute player blew out his front
teeth, the clarinet never recovered
its tone, and the singers all suffered
more or less, but they kept it up to
the bitter end and finished at 3
O'Clock i'm the afternoon, after four
hours hard work. Many of the
congregation went home to dinner,
and returned in the afternoon to
the finish, but the parson won much
respect by sticking to his pulpit to
the last, and at the conclusion Of
the dismal performanceh he dismissed
the congregation without word.

The first acquaintance with Lassalle
must be formed by the reading of his
pamphlets. The prose of those pam
phlets does not leave the reader cold or
unconcerned There is an unusual stock
of knowledge stored up in them. His
reasoning is strictly logical and direct,
couched in peculiarly fashioned style Of
eloquence; the fire and inspiration of the
writer lurking from between the written
lines, and blazing up only at occasional
intervals The uncommon hardihood
with which the author makes an assail,
is equaled only by the steeled firmness
with which he meets an attack The
style and the diction of the author are
typical to high degree; there is not
the slightest attempt of defamation in
his works. His knowledge is too pro-
found, and his capacity too great, that
he should take recourse to affectation.
And yet there is in Lassalle's works
none of the heaviness which an album
dance of learning generally imparts. The
reader Of his pamphlets conceives ar i'm
preston as though the author were a
man In heavy armor, and yet able to
WELD his ponderous weapons with the
utmost ease.


Out of printed documents, very little
information can be gained about the per
sonality and life of Ferdinand Lassalle.
Protracted and repeated travels through
Germany, have brought the author Of
this work in contact with many gentle
men and ladies who had known Lassalle
personally, and whose statements were
considered of great value and impor-
tance. 1t is well known that the public
opinion about Lassalle has a different

The natural world is full OF illusions.
The apparent rising and setting Of the
sun, the gorgeous clouds that prove to
be only dreary mist when you get
caught in them, the mirage, that reveals
things lying below the horizon, and
shows us ships sailing keel up in the air,
the full moon, which, as it emerges from
the horizon, appears to be twice rs large
as it does when it is over our heads.
while, if looked at through a tube or
measured by an instrument, is found to
be of precisely the same diameter, the
coming together to point of two right
lines when seen in perspective, the mis-
take of supposing the train in which we
are seated to be in motion when another
train at our side begins to start, the de-
ceptive idea that we have Of distance, as
in the instance of a lofty mountain, which
may seem to be close at haud, when, in
fact, it is scores of miles away; these
are illusions of sight that are familiar to
us all. There are other forms of optical
illusion, which depend upon the princi-
pie that motion may be quicker than
sight, such as the extraordinary tricks OF
the iuggler, or prestidigitator, which is
now the favorite title Of the professors
of this science, the continuous circle of
fire produced by whirling lighted stick
in the air, and the fantastic movement OF
painted figures in the popular toy known
as zootrope. And again, the most mar
velous illusions may be the result of an
excited fancy, as when one sees spectera
and hobgoblins.

A bubble rises from the bottom and
breaks with slight sound on the sur

rotary motion, 30 small that an inverted

larger grows the circle, till surface Of
forty feet in diameter is in motion,
spinning round a funnel-shaped hole in
the center, two or three feet across
at the top, and coming to point in the
depths below. Often large tree float

foremost end thrust up in the air twenty
or thirty feet while the other passes un-
derneath-the exposed end to be slowly
drawn down again and to disappear.

close it most Unexpectedly dropped into
discussion of her guilt. Mrs. Tilton
then set forth the printed falsehood
that she had never denied her guilt be-
fore she left her home in Tilton's house.
That was false, and when we called
her attention to the various occasions
on which she had done so, she hung
her head and didn't know what to say.
The letter was sort of confession of
her guilt, about which she had written
her daughters, SO she wrote, but which
she didn't think she should disclose to
her son Carroll until he was a man.
"You have seen me burst into those
paroxysms of tears; these were times
when the burden on my conscience was

my wife never in her life saw her burst
into any paroxysms. The most she
ever saw was a trembling of her lips,

Civil Service.


A case came up for decision before the
Secretary OF the Treasury last week, which
enabled him to give effect to the declaration
of the President that no employees Of the
Government should be removed, except for
cause. 1t seems that the Collector of Gus
toms at certain port in the State of New
York decided to remove one of his clerks,
who had been in the Office for six years, and
had an excellent record for efficiency, &C.,
and was also Union soldier in the late
war, while the person recommended to fill
the position is ignorant of the duties of the
office and was not in the army. The reasons
assigned for the removal of the old clerk
are so frivolous that the Secretary declined
to approve the new appointment or the re-
moval of the old clerk unless better reasons
could be assigned.
