Nothing that, altogether dies. & unices man's just destinies.'—MII.NF.S. Six in the morning, and a beautiful sun shine! Does the sun shine early? I hav seldom had an opportunity of observing but such appears to be the fact. There is no sunshine in my heart, however. Pshaw that is sentimental.

And yet, in veritable earnest, what is the human heart? Mine, if I have one, has never been much occupied. Love, with me, has evaporated in a succession of fancies, and friendship has been the more gregarious instinct. 1 have know many beautiful women, for cach of whom I have professed a personal interest that passed almost with the words. What remains of all the glittering frost work of sentiment? Nothing. Not even a drop of water to appease the undying thirst. Last and least of that graceful band was Ella—the Ella of last evening. IIow charming she looked in her exquisitely arranged costume With what a queen like dignity she carried her jewelled head. And yet her character is a blank. She has 110 positive quality, unless a gift of flattery can be determined such.— What does she mean by saying mine was a glorious manhood? It must have been some pretty phrase that she picked up accidentally.

What constitutes the true glory of manhood? Purpose, achievement, developcment, And 1 have had a purpose to kill time. I have achieved it, too. My past life lies behind me—murdered—dead. A ghostly grin is on its skeleton jaws. Its vacant eye-sockets glare ominously upon my path. There is no gift in its hands, no vigor in its muscles, no pulsation in its heart. It is dead, but not buried. That would be too great a blessing. The lesson it failed to teach men in passing it utters now waxing eloquent in its mute worthlessness, in lLs empty and impitying silence. And that cadaverous deformity is in manhood, my glorious manhood! Poor Ella! Yet it is a mate to the womanhood, perhaps. 'Womanhood That word is the embodiment of the beautiful yet what do 1 know of it? Nothing, except though my mother and Mary, sweet cousin Mary, who had the nobility to reject me. How well I remember the time I thought her words were bitter, and I said, half snecringly. 'You should ere this time have unlearned contempt.' 'I have no contempt for you,' she earnestly replied I think your capabilities are the noblest the loftiest but forgive it I say they are misdirected—perverted.'

Dear, blessed Mary She was poor, and 1 had the effrontery to remind her of the advantages my wealth might furnish her. I shall never forget the quiet sadness with which she answered. 'Dear Frank, I think much more of you than your possessions, and yet—good bye

I saw her but seldom afterwards. I do not think she was happy. 1 have the authority of one of her intimate friends for believing that her whole life was a struggle, which death alone crowned with victory.— Be it so. That is past. She is now a bright angel before the throne of the Eternal. She has drank of the satisfying fountain. She has now no lingering heart ache, no life-long aspirations to meet and sympathize with a loftier humanity. God bless her! Iler delicate intuition saw in me the capacity for much that was more generous and noble. And is that capacity wholly destroyed? Is there not within my reach some redeeming quality, some regenerating influence that shall vet make me what I might have been, that shall restore to me some portion of my nobler and purer self? The lost angel of my youth seems even yet to whisper hope. The dead past points with its shadowy finger to a living future. It shall not point in vain.

Dobbs says the Devil is an allegorical character, and means debt. To debt he traces all the pride and trouble in the world, and a large portion of crime. Running in debt leads to imprudence imprudence to dissipation and dissipation to night brawl-! ing, low spirits, ugliness and assault and battery. Going on tick has ruined more, men than gin and sugar. It kills industry,1 and checks economy. The man who pays cash for his purchases will make a dollar go as far again as any other person. Strike ledgers out of existence, and the world would once more return to the golden age. There would be no more endorsements, no deputy sheriff's, no sealing wax, no red tape, no self-murderers—in short, no nothing but industry and perseverance—high spirits and receipted board bills. Great invention, that cash.

The Mountain Democrat says:—

"The jail of Cambria county, P., is jammed, crammed and stuffed packed down, shook together and running over with prisoners."

THE FARMER.

The following is a portion of the remarks of Gov. Briggs of Massachusetts, at a Cattle Show in Northampton:

Recurring to the happy condition of the farmer, I want, said the Governor, to see the day when man's highest ambition will be to be a farmer I want to see the time when he shall return from College, and spend his remaining days a farmer, content with that condition, and conscious of its innate dignity. In enumerating the advantages of a farmer's life he observed that he had more leisure time than men of any other profession or calling. The doctor has half read a page, and is summoned by a ring at his bell to attend a sick bed,—the lawyer is denied rest by his constant effort to still the waves of contention—the divine

has enough to absorbe his whole attention

in the sacred duties of his calling and the

days. And the leisure of a farmer's life cannot be too highly appreciated, for it affords him an opportunity to cultivate his mental and moral part, and unless we elevate ourselves as Men, our improvement of farming stock is of valueless importance.

I want, continued the Governor, to see responsibility of labor appreciated—the misfortune of this country is that there exists some who think that labor is menial or low, but the highest point of good sense is to consider labor as honorable.

In conclusion, the Governor said, I despise the idea of considering one class of men better than another, unless it be that they have a higher moral character, adding as a finale, in honor of the farmer, the well known lines of Goldsmith:

Princes and lords may flourish or may fad_ A breath can make th -m as a breath has made: Jlut a bold YEOMANKY, their country's pride. When once destroyed can never be supplied.

PEACE AT J103IE.

It is just as possible to keep a calm house as a clean house, a cheerful house, an orderly house, as a furnished house, if the heads set themselves to do so. Where is the difficulty of consulting each other's weaknesses, as well as each other's wants, each other's tempers as well as each other's characters? Oh it is by leaving the peace

SOCIETY IN AUSTRALIA. A correspondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser writing from Melbourne, Feb. 20th,gives a sad picture of the state of society irt the new settlements. He says: "This is not the place it is represented tc be. The climate is very unhealthy the weather being so changeable. Society is very low, and it is impossible for any one t? venture out of doors after dark, unless with a party of three or four, on account of the* great number of English convicts from Varf Dieman's Land, who infest the place.— They number about five hundred, and mcetj ing you in the street, present a pistol to your' breast, order you to hold your hands up over your head, and then rob you.
