SABBATH EVENING HfVN. Seel the shades of eve departing, falls the sunlight from tbe west; Night her darksome robe ia taking. Tired Nature sinks to rest. O ! my heart, search well each chamber, Leet some sin be lurking there; Cleanse it from it? foul pollution, Seek thy maker kneel in prayer. Soon the light shall fade forever, Soon the grave our dust shall hide ; Each faint heat the heart is giving Briogs us nearer that daik tide. Ere the sun shall gild the morrow, Ere the stars forirot. tr? 0~- """****' #Wo pass the gates of sorrow? Make us, Lord, more wholly tliioe. Now, while nature sinks, reposing Whilst the air a stillness keeps, Would I mourn my sins in sorrow To that one who never sleeps? Should death's angel, cold appearing, Bear my willing soul awav. Steer me, Lord, o'er death's dark billows, Guide me to thy perfect day. 0! FOB A KIND TRUE FBIEHD. Oh! for a kiud true friend, A friend whom I could trust, 'Twould be a source of joy to m? To know shat I was blest With one in whom I conld confide My secret hopes and fears. And who would not in coldness tarn From me in future years. , But oh 1 I fear I never shall ' Have that consoling thought 1 To help me on through life's cold stream, I Though very closc I've sought I To find this jewel of a friend, ? That poets so applaud ; ( And as I liave not found one ye^ I fear it's all a fraud. ' m ? < A JUBT MAW. ( A just man is always simple. He is a man of direct aims and purposes. There - is no complexity in his motive*. #Tirl tlmn/?? there is no jarring or discordancy in bis character. IIo wishes to do right, and in r roost cases be does it. lie may err, but it ia by mistake of judgment, and not by |jervereity of intention. The moment bis 10 cmiguieu ins aciioo is correc- ^ tid. Setting himself always a clear and j worthy end, he will never pursue it by any jj concealed or unworthy means. We may cirry our remarks, for ilustration, both, into 0 private and public life. Observe such a man in his home. There is a cba-m about c him which no artificial grace has ever bad j the power to bestow : tliara is a sw<>p?np?? ^ ?I had almost said a music?in bis man f, Tiers, which do sentimental refinement has ^ ever given. His speech, ever fresh from parity and tj rectitude of thought, controls all that are g within its hearing with an unfelt and yet Q resistless sway. Faithfnl to every domestic ps to his religion and his G<xl, he would no mi ore prove recreant to Any loyality of home j than he would to blaspheme the Maker in n ? I t . I " wuoin ne oeueves, or tban 1)0 should for? ^ wear the Heaven in which he hopes. Fidelity and truth to those bound by love and r, nature to his heart are to him most sacred g principles; they are in the lasl recesses of ? his moral being; they are imbedded in ^ the life; and to violate them would seem 0| to him sb a spiritual extermination, the c, suicide of his soul. j, Nor is such a man unrewarded' for the tj goodneis that he so largely gives is largely _ paid back to him again ; and, though the w pqrrent ol ms life la transparent, it is not <j? fallow. On the contrary, it is deep and q strong. The riyer that fills its channel glides smoothly along in the power of its B) course?it is the stream which scarcely e| covers the raggedness of its bed, tbat is q turbulent and noisy. With all this gentla- ^ peas there is e*cee4>ng force J with 9)) tfrf* g, meekness there ^ia imperative command ; M but the force is the force of wisdom, and the command is the commsnd of love. t;( A _ J ? ?-- ? ... - - auu v?u we Humoruy t.Orules so eflec- re tually never gathers an angy or an irritible g, cloud over the brow of tbe ruler; and this away, which admits of no resistance, does ^ pot repress one honest impulse of nature, ^ one moment of tbe soul's high freedom one <j| bound of joy from U?e heart's unbidden ,-j gladness, in tbe spirits of the governed. j)| #?i| ?

There is qq name better known for science and worth among army men, than Gen. Beauregard. The histories of the Mexican War, favorably as they have mentioned him, have failed to notice two of the most conspicuous incidents of his life, and whioh have gone far to establish his fame. We will relate them, promising that we were not in the war, and that we repeat tbem from memory on authentic information. The principal facts will bo stated accurately though there may be errors in unimnr?rtan? tails. Tho first occurred before Vera Cruz.? Gen. B., than a Lieutenant of Engineers, was sent out by his Colonel (Totten, if we remember aright) with a party of sappers to dig and prepare a trench, according to a profile and plan prepared by tho Colonel* No sooner bad Beauregard examined tho ground than he discovered great objections to the plan. To assure himself, be climbed into a tree, and the aid of the marine glass, the engineer's vade mecurr}, hp made a reconnoisaace and saw Dlainlv that iV?? i I / ?7* trench, ns planned, would' be enfiladed by 1 the enemy's cannon. Here was ft difficult for a subaltern ministerial officer. He de- I cided promptly, and returned to headquar- 1 ters without sticking a spade. The Colonel ' met him and expressed surprise tbat be 1 bad so soon performed his task. Beaure- 1 e?rd replied that be bad not touched it. 1 The Colonel, with the astonishment mili- J tary men feel in hearing their pfders have ' aot been obeyed, inquired the reason. He 1 was soon informed of it. He was incre- 1 lulous?'the ground had been examined' 1 ?'the reconnoissance was perfect,' &c.? 1 The young Lieutenant was uniUfio/l ! ???- i :ver, that the reconnoisance of his old chief ' tad nol made like bis, 'from up in a tree.' 1 fbe Colonel, like n sensible man, concluded ( o make qqotber examination?tbe plan ^ vas changed in accordanc with the young lieutenant's views. The work done from t hese trenches is qaqtter of history?but its 1 lages nowhere inform us to whom the cred- * t is clue. c Our second inoideut occurred before the <1 ~e ?f? iir ui aiexico. ' A night or two before the attack a coun- ( il of war was held. There were assem- ? tied all the big folks, from the (now) Lieut. 11 reneral (who prcatices Mexican tactics a rom the house-tops in Washington), ioclu- n ing Worth, Twiggs, <fco., down to our a ierxl Beauregard, the youngest officer in A be room. The debate went on for hours. 0 cott was solitary in his opinion. Every ? tlier ofgcer present, except one, had spo- a en, &nd all concurred in their views. The " lent one was Beauregard. At last Gen. 'ieroe crossed over and said, (You have 0 ot expressed an opinion.' 'I have not * een called on,' said Beauregard. 'You ? jall be, however,' said Pierce; and soon n uuming his seat, announced that Lieut. r >eauregard bad not gifej) bis opinion, < leing then called out, he remarked, that b the pla# which bad received the assent fa f all but the commanding General was o irried into effect, it would prove disastrous. J> would be another Cbiirbusco affair. Re t< ten detailed the objections to it at length t< -and taking up the other, urged the rea- tl >ns in its favor with equeal earnestness. A oe uouncil reversed their decision. The ity of Mexico was entered according to ^ ie plan urged by the yoang Lieutenant: . adit woold seem that bis reasons influ- . 1? iped pie decision.

PippeisPi CAB EBB. OF A RICH MAJf. We have ?een it stated lately, upqn what appeared to be reliable authority, that the wealth of William B. Astor, of New York moots to at le?st forty millions of dollars, It is curious to trace this broad yellow stream to its first little begioings in the early career of John Jacob Astor, father of the present millionarie. From a sketch of this remarkable man, 1 which appears in a work entitled "fifty years in both hemispheres,' by Vincent Nolte, we i learn that John Jacob Astor was born at < Heidelberg, where the original name of his < family is said to have been Asohter, and that ho came to New York as a furrier's ( apprentice. He was at t|iqt time as poor as j any other apprentice bow then or now in i New York, flip wflgps he got in Ihe pel- < try warehouse for beating pi)t qqd prepar- ] ing various ekins, he invested iq the purr I chase of all kinds of peltry?bear, mink, 1 and rabbit sk<R9?which hp got froqi tlip j Indians, who at that lirqQ wandered about t the streets of New York, and as soon as he t hftH pnllon#^ ? * '? * .vuvyiyu U UBI 10111 ^uamiiy lie bPRl t (hem to Europe, particularly to the Leipsio ] Fair. There, it is stated, he traded them off n for Nuremberg watches, cheap knives, glass fi beads, and other articles adapted to trade I with the Indians on the Canadiau frontiers, 1, tnd took them himself to the latter poiotf, where he again exchanged them for furs of o rarious kinds. lie had often told Mr. a Nolle that he carried on this work untiring- d y for twelve long years, going in person, tl ilfprnofolr iU& * *- * >u >ug v/auoumu irunners (DO jj .ben to Leipsic fair and lived all the while c is he had been accustomed to do, bijmbly jE ind sparingly. After be had tbua roan? 0 iged to bring to either a considerable dpi- pi al, be gradualy became a freighter of sbipa rr ind fitted out expeditions to the Northwest u ;oast to trade vfith the Indians of Nootka p sound for furs. p( Another and very considerable round up ai be ladder of fortune was taken by As- bi or in land speculation. Some of bis coun- ti rymen owned land in New York by virtue a( if being relations and heirs of German solliere who had fought in the American fQ Lrtny in the Revolution, and to whom m Congress bad voted land io consequence, lany of tbe solders died without convert? jn ng tteir property into rjioney, and Astor, fter visit to I^eidelberg, made arrange? y, aents with the betrs which was - mutually ar greeable; they thinking it better to bare little ready cash than to own a great deal y< f land, the r?lge of which was very slow ac i increasing, and he having foresight -to oticipate, and the patience to await the M ssulL q( So the heirs got (heir tponey, aod Astor btained their land, soma of ?hW? 5? n?? ? mong the most important in the olty of M Few Yorlf.

' n& POUTSIT?8S AUD GOOD BBERDIHO. Qood-breeding, pr true politeness, is the i art of showing men, by external signs, the j internal regard we have for them. It arises ? from good sense, improved by good com- t pany. Good breeding is never to be learn- ^ ed, though it may be improved, by the c study of books; and therefore they who nttempt it, appear stiff and- pendantio.? 8 The really well -bred, aB they become so by j use and observation, are not liable to aflfec- tl tion. You see good-breeding in all they |j J- ? * * o, wiioout seeing tlie art of it. Like oth- y er habits, it in acquired by praotioe. o An engaging manner and genteel ad- h ilress may be out of our power, although ^ it is a misfortune that it should ba so. But y it is in the power of every body to be kind, a :ondescending and affable. It is in the i lower of every person who has anything e, o gay to a fello^ bping, to Bay it with i( iind feelings, and with a sincere desire to al >lense; and this, whenever it is done, will w (tone for much awkwardness ip thp - e, ter of expression.

In short, good-breeding is a forgetting of 0j urselves so far as to seek what may be greeable to others, but in so artless and elicate a manner as will scarcely allow jera to perceive that we are so employed ; nd the regarding of ourselves, not as the rj, ?* i ? ? ? 1- * - * ' * " auup v/i Hfuiiuii uji whipp everyimng else w< i to revolve, but as only one of the wheels fa r parts, in a vast machine, embracing oth- ol r wheels and parts of equal, and perhaps g, tore than equal importance.

It knows how to cqqadiot with respect; and to please, without lulation. The following are a few plain directions EK r attaining the character of a well-bred P? an. on 1. Never weary your company bv talk- '?' g too long, ot too frequently. k* 2. Always look people in tbe face whep >u address them, and generally when tj^ey e speaking to yoij, 3. Attend to a person who is addressing >u. Inattention marks a trifling mind,- "n id ia a moil unpardonable piece of rude- ou iaa. It is even an affront: for It is tbe f0; me thing as saying that bis remarks are 18 >t worth your .attention, 4. Do pot interrupt tbe person who is * eaking by sating yet, no or hem, at every ntence; it is tbe most uselm thing that n be. An occasional assent, either by jrd or action, may be well enongh; but 1,0 en a nod of assent is sometimes repeated I it bepotge* disgusting. 5. Reosmeber that every person in a oom? ny likes to be the hero of that company, Bver, therefore, engross the whole convertion to yourapj^ w* 6. ?*arn to sit or stand still, while an* ^Ui ber is speaking to yam* Yon will not of ursebe so rude as to dig in the earth Xe tb your feet, or take your penknife from rec >nr pocket and pair yoor nails; but ere are a great many other little move- ] ents which are scarcely less clownish. ^be 1. Never anticipate for flngthpf, or help Mj| m out, as it is called. Ibis is quite a rode j| fair, and should ever be avoided. Let ^ m conclude his story for himself.
