So many wav-s he seeks to find To interrupt bis neighbor’s plans, And harrass and perplex his mind. Jails, prisons, locks and bolts, all bear The signs of man's misanthropy. And with one voice, they all declare. The proofs of his depravity. Bihold that poor man laying by The little his hai d toil doth gain, That he may future wants supply, And well his family maintain. And hear him smiling tell his wife. They’ve something left for a wet day To cheer them down the stream of life, When frosty age shall make them gray. A few days passes ’round; and now Behold that same poor man again— Grief sits impressed upi n his brow. And tears run down his cheelts like rain Go ask him why his tears thus fall. His an-wer quickly will be this: \Some wicked man has stole my all And left me in this wretchedness.’’ But not con'eut is man to have His neighbor’s hard earned coin liimself; ^ Biit'takes hinr as hiq la\Vfl\l slave That he may idly live in wealth. Oh, who can sound the depth of woe Caused by man’s wicked, selfish heart ? It makes the fields with blood o,erflow, And turns sweet sunshine into dark,.. bo Thou, O Lord cleanse man’s viie heart Aufi make it holy, clean and riglit, That he may rise from errors dark. And hear thy voice: ’’Let there be light!’’ Then shall each scabbard safely sheathe The now destructive sharpened sword, And earth be ready to receive Her risen and exalted Lord and becofne alive to their beauties.

The subscriptions to this popular loatl are now over forty-five million dollars, and they continue to come in at the rate of about a million a day. The public is satisfied that there are no other invest ments so profitable as U. S. securities. 'While neai’ly all the hundreds o f raiscel- laneoiis stocks sold in the New York market have been declining for several weeks, (in many instances twenty-five percent), Government stocks have {[re mained firm ; and while lenders load very sparingly, and at high rates, on the best mercantile paper, they have plenty of money toiend on Government paper, at as low rates as ever. While the Gov enimeut needs the people’s money, and pays for it liberally, it ofl'ers the highest possible consideration besides, and that is sa/ehj. W ho AiiE B lessed .— Blessed are they who are blind, for they shall see no ghosts. Blessed are they that are deaf, for'they never lend money nor litteii to tedious storioj. Blessed are they that are lean, for jkere^is a chance to grow fat. Blessed are they that are ignorant, for they are happy in thinking that they know everything. Blessed is she that would get m a rried but can’t , for the consolation iif the gos pel arc hers. Blessed is he that is ugly in form anS features, for the gals sha’nt molest him; Blessed are they that expect nothing,’ fop they shall not be disappointed. MIS CEL LAI Y. Picking up Crtmbs. Dr. Franklin tells us most ehamingly in his autobiography how he picked up his early education. Ills father had been able to give him two years schooling— from his eighth to his tenth year—and then he went into the .soap boiler facto ry, and from that to the printing office, in the latter place I 13 laid tlie solid foun dation of his subsequent character. He used to borrow a book at a time o f t'. e bookseller’s apprentice, whom be was on friendly terms with, and sit up late to read it, so as to return it before the storekeeper should miss it in the morning. Such a lad could not be kept down by all the combined powers of the world, lie ate his dinners at the printing office while the rest of the hands had gone home, and .saved time enough on such occasions to study arithmetic, some of geometry, history, rhetoric and logic, lie taught himself to read pure English by reading the essays of the ‘‘Spectator,’’ noting down their leading thoughts and sentimetns ; and then, after a few days, taking his written notes and putting them in the best English he could command of bis own. By comparing his productions with those of the 1‘Spactator” authors, ho could|at once detect his own faults ladies, take Particular BTotioe. , THE EEAL VELPAU FEMALE PH Ii: [W ahkanied F benoh .] iivegularities, and afterward so n time in America.
