[For the Daily American.] A Good Lesson.

An important lesson to learn, and the otherwise exhibit their peculiar claims earlier in life it is learned the better, is to n\ake the host of everything." As the old adage says, "there is no use iu crying over spilt milk, Misfortunes that have already happened cannot be prevented, and, therefore, the wise man, instead of wasting his time in regrets, will set himself to work to recover his losses. The mistakes and follies of the past may teach us to be more cautious for the future but they should never be allowed to paralyze our energies or surrender us to weak repinings. ...

This rule holds good, not only in political affairs, but in Che whole conduct of life. The man, who is born to indifferent circumstances, will never rise, if, abandoning himself to envy of those more blessed by fortune, he goes about ^sullenly complain'ng, instead of endeavoring to use the best of his ability what few advantages he has. The patriot, deploring the decline of public and private morals, will never succeed in reforming the commonwealth, if he stickJtea fur visionary or impracticable measures. re lectins these m®*® »mdarate ones which are really attainable.%The friend will soon have no intimates at *all, if making no allowance for the infirmities ot human nature, he judges itoo harshly the conduct of his acquainjces. Many a matrimonial separation imight be avoided, if husband and wife, instead of taking offence at each other *on slight provocation, would dwell rath'er on the good traits their partner displays. There are not a few statesmen, now living in retirement, who might

have still gratified their ambition by serving the public, if they had understood, amid the intrigues and disap,pomtmenta of public life, how to make the best of everything.

Netions, as well as individuals, should cherish this principal. The European revolutions of 1848 would not hard ended so disastrously for liberty if the peopie had understood how to make more of the advantages they secured at first. The ultimate triumph of the monarchs

to be attributed chiefly to their obeying the golden maxim, which their subjects had neglected, of making the best of everything. ^When the Emperor of Austria was a fugitive when Hungary ,• Bohemia and Italy were free, it would have required nothing but concert among the people to have established their rights on a lasting foundation.

But they suffered jealousies of race to arise, allowed themselves to be attacked in detail, and even assisted the tyrants to subjugate each other. In "Union their is strength," but, instead of uniting in order to make the best of things, they made the worst, and naturally, we had almost said deservedly, lost all. ., We all know, unfortunately, however, for this country, it is (loaded at pres-

ent by a horde of bonighted, semi-civ-ilized, vindictive and suspicious body of alien peasantry, for whom our hospitals are built, who fill our common Jails, keep ourcourt houses incessantly in use, and compel us to enlarge our prisons.

t*f .a

It is this kind of Catholics in whom ambitious Priests and reckless demagogues find fit instruments for all their

unscrupulous designs. It is of this kind Length of a Mile in different Countries, of Catholics we speak, when we assert

that they are manufactured into better England and America, citizens'by tl« cart-load in order that ^5^

they may be used as tools—that they p0]an(j are hired to drive .native-born Ameri- Spain,f^ cans from the polls—that they conspire' Germany, together to crowd out of a nomination

every man without an O. or Me. to his:

name, and under the auspices of a Jes-1 jieayy

uitical Church, seek to rule our Coun-jjantt

its Dispensaries and its Penitentinries. 11 is this kind of Foreigners Catholics) whom the true American of the age have quietly determined to teach a lesson of practical humility. It is these men whom the truly patriotic have resolved, through the ballot box, to drive back to their native abscurity, where they may get intoxicated, beat their wives, break each other's heads, and

to a share in our glorious gift of nation al freedom, without annoying any body but the police, and disgraceing any but themselves and their associates. This gives a plain common sense view of the principles advocated by the American party in this Country.—I regret to state, that, there are Germans here among us who are respected for their moral worth —for their principals as Americans, who have held office after office, by the generous American voters of this CounO try, who now turn their backs on their old and true friends, simply because they are advocates of the American principles, which nineteen out of every twenty Americans must admit to be right when they understand them. If the proiestant Germans would but reflect upon these, things they certainly could not consent to treat, with cold contempt, their best friends..»

We never see a man bewailing his ill-fortune without something of contempt for his weakness. No individual or nation ever rose to eminence in any department, -whioVi gaviy ttselFup to this childish behavor. Greatness can only be achieved by being superior to misfortunes, and by returning again and again to the assault with renewed energy. And this it is which is, truly making the best of everything.—

Sons of America, don't forget, The blood-shed vour country has cost, And the star of proaterity never shall sot Nor the boon of your freedom be lost, From the tomb of Mount Vernon, the warning yet comes. "My countrymen join heart and hand

A SAFE BET.—A few days since, a gentleman *tvell known in this city— unfortunately a cripple—Went to the Depot of the C. H. & Day ton Rail way to take the express train to Dayton.— He rode to the depot in an express wagon, the horse attached to it making 2:40 time the entire distance. Just as they arrived at the depot the last bell of the locomotive was rung, and the cars moved off. friend hastily gained started on a hop after the train, to the no small amusement of a crowd of persons who had collected at the exit end of the depot. He had proceeded only a few paces when suddenly he came to a halt, and in a fit of rage and highly excited, he turned to the crowd and exclaimed "I'm a lame man, but I'll bet any one of you fifty dollars that you can't catch the oars!"—Cin- Gazette.
