An ansi?os, restless temper, that rons to meet earc on its way, that regrets lost opportunities too much, and that ie over painstaking in contrivances for happiness, is foolish, and should not be indulged. If you cannot be happy in one way, be happy in aaother ; and this felicity of disposition wants but little aid from philosophy, for health and good humor are almost all that are requisite. Many run about after hap Einess, like an absent mun hunting for is hat, while it ison bis head or io his hand. Though sometimes small .vile, like invisible insects, inflict great pain, and a single hair may stop a vast maohino, yet the ohief secret of comfort Hes- in not suffering trifles to vex one and io prudently cultivating an under gowth of small pleasures, since very w great ones, alas ! are let on long leases. A WON?KHFUL TRANSACTION. The singular financial transaction t. occurred io one of the dock offices, in Buffalo, a day or two since. By some meaos*or other it happened .that the office boy owed ono of the dorks three ^ eentsy the clerk owed tho cashier two teats, and the cashier owed the offioe boy two cents. One day last week the offioe boy having a ecnt in his pocket, concluded to diminish bis debt, ?nd therefore handed tho nickol over to the clerk, who, TB turn, paid half of his debt by giving tho oom to the cashier. The latter handed the cent back to the !"' office boy, remarking, "Now I owe yoo noe cent." Tho offioe boy again passed tho cent to the olerk, who passed it hack to the offioe boy, and the lutter individual squared all accounts by pay? ing it to the dork, thoroby discharging . his entire debt. Thus it may bo seen how great is the benefit to be derived from a bingle oent, if only expended - judiciously.

PRATT, CHEMIST FOR THE Sulpburio Acid and Super Phosphate Company. SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, in the form of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or DIS? SOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE, is the basis of all good Fertilisers, and these are valuable in the ratio of Soluble Phosphorlo Aoid whioh is in them. * The immense deposits of Phosphatid Guanos which were discovered in 1807 in Sontb Carolina, by Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, whioh is made available as a Fer? tiliser by boing ground to powder, and reduced by Sulpburio Aoid to suoh a condition as to make its insoluble phosphate 8'iluble in water, and thus made capable of being taken up by growing plants. The insoluble Phosphate found in any commercial Fertiliser is of no more value to the plant than the original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer oontains, the less the quantity required por aero, and consequently the oheapost Fertiliser is that containing the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate. Impressed with these truths, tho SULPHURIC ACID AND SUPER-PHOSPHATE COMPANY have erected at Charleston the first extensivo Aoid Chambers South of Baltimore, and are able to offer to planters tho HIGHEST PER CENTAGE OF SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME'known in any market. Their Fertilisers are offered under two forms : 1. ETIWAN.

WE ALSO OFFER; DISSOLVED BONE, of high grade, fer planters or manufacturers, who may desire to mix Into any other compost, and we suggest that this is the bost and oheapost method for manufacturers to transport the Sulpburio Acid contained in tho mixture.

"This year I have experimented with ten different fertilizers of the most popular branda-aal "Wm. Criohton A Son's Ainmnniated Soluble Super-Phosphate of Lime" is at present only equalled by two of the manures. I am not quito through picking, but there is so little yet to be pioksd, thal it will not materially alter the above statement or result. I can without hesitation reoommend this fertilizer to planters as a No. 1 Cotton Manure. JOHN L. CULVER. ORKRN COUNTT, GA., Deoember 20th, 1869. "I used the Ammoniated Snper-Phosphate of Lime of Wm.
