From the Vincennes Western Sun. LINES Written on the Shore of Minnesota River. BY MATTIE H. FEARSON. Sparkling river, gently flowing, Onward to the main, Hf-sting swiftly, and returning Ne'er to us again; Flowing gently by my foottps, Bearing hence my flowers, As I idly stand and cast them Dreaming of past hours Dreamij.g, too, of the distant future, With a child like heart, Casting to the wave all sorrow, As my flowers depart; Bear away upon thy bosom, Every grief and woe. Leave me all sweet feelings, Peaceful as thy flow. Bear away these pearly teardrops Mingling with thy tide, For the childish breeze is happy, Singing at my side; Gently rlaying with my tresses, As it frolics by And in clouds of gold and amber, Glows the sunset sky. Gentle river! bright and happy, Stopping not to lave, Fain would I a lesson borrow From thy peaceful wave, To bear away each darkling sorrow. As our lives begin, Learning naught but joy and beauty, Where our tracks have been. i 1 1 A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but will still keep A bower quiet for us; and a sleep Fall of sweet dreams, and health and quiet breath ing; Therefore on every marrow arc wc wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days Made for our searching; yes, in ppitc of all, Some shape of beauty moves away ttepall rom our dark spirits. Such the sun, and the moon, Trees, old and young, sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and such are daffodils With the green world they live on; and the clear rills That for themselves a cooling covert make Gainst thohot season; the mid-forest brake, Rich with a sparkling of the für muskrose blooms; And such, too, in the crandeur of the dooms All lovely tales that we have heard or read; An endless fountain of immortal drink, pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. Keats. The Moon and all her Starry Train. BT GEORGE T. MORRIS. The moon and all her starry train. Were fading from the morning sky, When home the ball room belle again Returned with throbbing pulse and brain, Flushed cheek and tearful eye. The plumes that danced above her brow, The gems that sparkled in her zone, The pride to which she would not bow, Were laid aside they mocked her now When desolate and lone. That night how many hearts she won, The reigning belle, she could not stir, But, like the planets round the sun, Her suitors followed all but one One all the world to her ! And she had lost him! marvel not That lady's eyes with tears were wet! Though love by man is soon forgot, It never yet was woman's lot To love and to forget. 00ne of our California exchanges publishes a list of localities peculiar to that State, and from it I " v w o r,. n a tw. r.t.

The Power or Habit. John B. Gough, in a lecture delivered

at Exeter Hall, London, thus illustrates the power of Habit. The report i3 from a London paper. I remember, liding irora Buffalo to the Niagara Falls, I said to a gentleman, 'What river is that, sir?' 'That said be, 'is Niagara liver.' Well, it is a beautiful stream,' said I, bright, fair and glossy. How far off are the rapid?' 'Only a milo or two,' was the reply. Is it possible that only a mile from us we shall find the water in tho turbulence which it must show when near the Falls?' 'You will find it so, sir,' and so I found it. And that first sight of Niagara I shall never forget. Now launch your bark on the Niagara river: it is bright, smooth, beautiful and glassy. There iz a ripple at the prow; the silver wake you leavo behind adds to your enjoyment. Down the stream you glide, oars, sails ana helm in proper trim, and you ßet out on your pleasure excursion. Suddenly some one cries out from the bank, 'Young men, ahoy I' What is it?' 'The rapids are below you.' Ha! ha! we have heard of tho rabids, but we are not such fools as to get there. If we go too fast, then we shall put up the helm and steer to the shore, we shall set the mast in the socket, hoist the sail; speed to land. Then on, boys; don't be alarmed there's no danger.' 'Young men, ahoy there!' What is it?' Tho rapids are below you! 'Ha! ha! we will laugh and quaff; and all things delight us. What care wa for the future! No man ever saw it. Suflicient for the day is the evil thereof. We will enjoy life while we may; we will catch pleasure as it flies. This is enjoyment; lime enough to stoer out of danger when we are sailing swiftly wiih the current.' Young men, ahoy!' What is it?' Beware!' beware!' The rapids arc below you!' Now you sec the rapids foaming nil around you. See how fast you pass that poiut! Up with tho helm! Now turn! pull hard! pull hard! quick! quick! pull for your lives! pull till the blood starts from the nostrils, and the veins stick out like whip cords upon your brow! Set tho mast in the socket! hoist tho sail! ah! ah! it is too late! Shrieking, cursing, blaspheming, over they go. Thousands go over the rapids every day through tho power of evil habits, crying ail the whilo snonW warned young men in very impressive lang rnrtfTf that ihflv r.onld not. even bv Denitence, amend menl, and a long life of religion, and usefulne3S, wash out the stain of early uissit i .1 ' pation, nor always Danuu ina accusing spectres that would rise even m tneir no lle: t moments. liivc Within Your Means. We don't like stinginess. We don't like 'economy' when it comes down to rngs and starvation; we have no sympathy with the notion that a poor man should nucn himself to a post and stand slill while all the world moves forvard. It is no man's dutv to make an iceberc: of himself to shut his eyes and ears to the sufferings of bis fellows and to deuy hiraselt lue en joyment that results from generous actions that ha mar board wealth for others to quarrel about. But there is yet an economy which is every man's duty, and which is especially commendable in the man who strufrarles with poverty an economy which is con sistent with happiness, and must be prac ticed if the poor man would secure independence. It is almost every man's privilege, and becomes his duty, to live within his means. not up to, but within them, vveaitii üoes not maks the man, we admit, and should never ba taken into tho account in our judgment of men. But competence should always be secured when u can oa, Dy mo practice of economy and sell denial to only a reasonable extent. It should bo secured not so much for others to look at, or to raise us in the estimation of others, as to secure the consciousness of independence, and the constant satisiaction which is derived from its acquirement and possession. The man who feels that he is earning something moro than he is spending, will walk the streets with a much lighter heart, and enter hi3 home with a much more cheerful countenance than he who spends as he goes, or falls gradually behind his necessities in acquiring tho mean3 of meeting them. Next to the slavery of intemperance, there is no slavery more galling than that of poveily and indebtedness. For the sake of the present, then, as well as for the sake of the future, we would most earnestly urge every working man to live witnm nis mean3. ijci. mm lay by something every day if but a penny, be it a penny it is better than nothing infinitely better than running in debt a penny a day. 23T Young ladies should not write poetical love letters. It is dangerous. Such a one was written to a Kentucky beau not lot long since, which sc affected him that hc stole a horse to go and see tho writer, and got in jail for getting ia love with a poetess. 33T There is a set of harmless liars, frequently to be met with in company, who deal much in the marvellous. Their usual intention is to please and entertain, but as men are must delighted with what they conceive tobe the truth, these people mistake the means of pleasing and incur universal blame. jfST Advice is like snow the softer it falls, and the longer it dwells upon, the deeper it sinks into the mind.

'They Say.' A more cowardly, sneaking, fiendish liar than 'The say' does not exist. That person is a universal scapegoat for personal gossip, envy and malice, without form of flesh and blod, when invoked, and yet stalking boldly in every community. The character is a myth and yet real intangible; and yet from exhaustless quiver wings its poisened arrows from day to day. And no mail is proof; character; position or sex escape; no aanctuary is too sacred no home i3 bul worked against it assults. When one base heart wishes to assail some person, a character or motive, 'They say' i3 always invoked. That is the assassin who strikes in jhe cloud, the Thug w.'io haunts the footsteps of the offender, . aud tortures from earless word or deed, an excuse for the steletto. Men date not reveal there own feelings. With smiles nd pretended friendship, they present the envenomed shaft as coming from 'They say.' Be sure, re.'-.der, that when some villianous tale is told you, and tho relator can not give an author more tangible than 'They say' for it, then the 6lander is the creation of the heart by your side, and reeking with the poison of envy and hartred, and earnest with a wish to have the falshood of 'They say bud into reality, and become current coin in the conmuni:y. They say.' wo repeat it, is cowardly a3 it is false and fiendish; a phantom creation which smiles, letting loos? a brood of vipers to crawl in your path, and blast by their venom. To retail the stories of 'The v

say,' is to sneak behind the intangible personage and nocuous columaies which from raw meterial, and forged near home. A Beautiful Paragraph. The man who stands on soil, who feels that by the laws of the land in which he lives by the 'aw of the civilized nation he is the rightful and exclusive owner of the soil he tills, is by the constitution of our nature under a wholesome influence not easily imbibed.from any other source. He feels other things being equal, more strongly than another, the character of a man as a lord of tho inanimate world. Of this great and wonderful sphere which, fashioned by the Land of God, and upheld by his power, is rollin-r through the heav ens, a part i3 his from the center to the ;y. It is the space on which the genera, tion before moved iu its round of. duties, and he feels himself conducted bv a link with those who follow him, and to whom he is to transmit a hoaie. Perhaps a farm has com3 down to him from his father. They have oue to their last home; but he can trace their foot-step3 over thescene of his laU i-w,. Tho rO,Jl mm w reared by w wnom no owes his being. G.jtn3 interesting domestic tra dition is connected vith every inclosure. The favorite treo wa3 plated by his father's hand. Ho sported in boyhood basido the brock which still winds through the medow. u.nrou:rn tnoueid lies me path to the village school of ea ly days. He stili hears from the open wndw the voice of the Sab bath bell which caled his fathe- to the house of God: and lear at hand if tho place where nis paranis aid down lo rest, and where, when his tine shall coma, he shall belaid by his chVJren. These are the feelings of the ownt of the soil. Words connot pyit the; tlxirare the life spring of a fresh, healthy ami general national charactcr. E. Ever et, The Kiflcmta of the West. From Benton's Abridgment of the Debates of ConMr. Benton stoppd a moment to speak of an exploit too littl known to history. TT 1 . t . . T"" il IT . . . lie said mat me .uriisii ana Indians to me number of 1,003, :jeared before St. Louis n the year 17C9. (;en. George Roirers CI irk was then upoihe American Bottom, with the connuerorM V incenne3 andKas kaskia. The F renchf St. Louis sent to in voke his aid. Ha hi but 400 men, and might have declinerith honor. He might have said our miner are but fevr, the river is to wide andapid, you are utran gars, and live biyfd the confines of my . i it ... ..

Clark, nor of the 4üü brave metuat loiiowea nis steps. He or they knew n danger. Knew it not! May their spirits pdon nie, said Mr. Benton, for applying them such afourth-of-July expression. Tfy did not know danger were born in itstesence and grew up in its Company; aneach could say with Caesar: "Danger al are brothers, Twi n lions wped in one hour, And I the eldqid more terrible.

JCST It ia diffi to say which is the greater defect in ; ircnt strictness and firmness in his fa without feeling and affection, or feelund affection without strictness and firss. Under the one system, tho chil are apt to become slaves or hypocri under the other, tyrants or rebels, true love is always firm, nnd true fiiss is always love.

Tilt matrimonial Compromise. Breaches of humony will occur between imperfect inet, and women, but all bad results may be avoided by a resolution, well kept on both sides, to ask the other's pardon for every offence: for the the hasty word, the peevish complaint, the unshared pleasure, and everything that awakens an unpleasant thought or wounds a sensibility. This reparation must be made at once; and if you have a frank and worthy nature, a quarrel is impossible. My opinion is, that ninety-nine one hundredths of the unhappiness in the connubial relation, is the fault, and not primarily, tho misfortune of the parties. You can be happy together, if you will, but the agreement tobe happy must be mutual. The compromise cannot all be on one side. It is a muleish piide in men, and a sensitive one in. women, that makes tho principal difficulty in all unhappy cases. I say to every man and woman, if you have done anything that has displeased your companion, beg his or her pardon, whether you were intentionally guilty or not. It is the cheapest and quickest way to settle the business. One confession makes way for another, and the matter is closed: closed, most probably, with tho sweetest kisses of the season.

Woman. As the dove will clasp its wings to its side, and cover and conceal the arrow that i3 preying on its vitals, so it is the nature of woman to hide from the world tho pangs of wounded affection. With her the desire of the heart has failed. The great charm of existence is at an end. She neglects all the cheerful exercises that gladden her spirits, quicken the pulse and send the lido of life in cheerful currents through the veins. Her rest is broken, the sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by melancholy dreams; 'dry sorrow drinks her blood,' until her feeble frama sinks under the last eternal assailraent. Look for her after a little while, and you find friendship weeping over her untimely grave, and wondering that one who so lately glowed with all the radiance of health and beauty, should now be brought down to 'darkness and worm.' You will be told of soma wintry chill, some slight indisposition that laid her low, but no one knows tho mental malady that previously sapped her strength, and made her so easy a prey to the spoiter.

Mr. Smith, you said you once officiated in the pulpit, do you mean to say that you preached?' No, sir, I held the light for the man who did preach.' Ah, tho court understood you differently. They supposed the discourse came directly from you.' Ko, sir, I only throwed a little light upon the subject.' Glory is well enough for a rich m?n, but it is of very little consequence to a poor man with a large family. How can you expect that young ladies can know every body's name3, when it is impossible for them to know what their own may be twelve months ahead. 'Washing shirts,' says an exchange paper, 'wears them out. When they get dirty, rub them over with chalk.' 'Economy i3 wealth.' The man who couldn't stand it any longer, has taken a seat, and now feels quiie comfortable.

Baoaus he is above, doing a mean action. A distressed merchant popped in tD pay hi3 rent, putting on a long face to correspond with the times.

Sands of Gold.

The book of the Statesman is tbe human heart. Never believe tho world to be base; if it were so, no society could hold together for a day. Accurate knowledge is the basis of correct opinions. The want of it m?kes mostpeople's opinions of little value. Liberal dealing is better than alm3-gi'r-ng, for it tends to prevent pauperism, which i3 better than to relieve "it. Ever since there has been so much demand for type, there has been much less lead to spare for cannon balls. It is nothing in our favor, if we are honest beeause it ii the 'best policy, or because it is 'respectable.' He who knows the world, will not h too bashful, and he who knows himself, will not be too impudent. Think like the wise, but talk like ordinary people.
