Editor Or ihgcbtirg Times : It is high time for our people to quit eomphiiiiing about the hardness of the t imes, ii?d go to enquiring after the enu.se which they, J nm persuaded, will not have to g? very far to find, as it licth (it their very door. The thought of God s iYnwilling lies or refusal to help those who do not first try to help themselves, is a fact which is based upon the free and moral agency of man. Man, be ing a free agent, he is endowed with faculties of both moral and intellec tual nature, and it is by the proper exercise of these faculties t hat, he is enabled to discover and utilize the relations of cause ami effect or as certain what is really embraced in a given phenouonon. T.t is by the pro per exercise; a lid development of these faculties that, lie obtains the ability to discover the ?'itfercuce be tween right and wrong, and pursue the oi'iC and eschew tileother. Nature we must remember, does not give to man these faculties in a fully develop- j ed state, else there could be no heathen, no error, and man would I be perfect. But Micprocess of deve lopment is b\ slow degrees, in lift eiiccd nod controlled not entirely, but 1 largely by circumstances. And thus the command is given to train up the child in the way he should go. Me who wisely said that j the child is fat her to the man, opened ; a big door 10 the store-house of par en* ?

Through this en trance we find abundant knowledge hoarded for the use of ag?*s. lint how many parents, Mr. Edi tor, who read your excellent .paper., are drawing from this chc&hatlst'iblu fountain, if we 'are to "read their history iii a Nations eyes'1 wii would be forced to the solemn performance of answering, hut few if any.

Now the \~e<vy first step, Mr. Editor. | thattV.V! frtViHcr makes in securing advances from lue merchant, if be would just stop and think, exercise those faelitiesa little, he would soon discover that he has taken the wrong path to success and happiness.

When lie is standing about on the streets, spending his precious time in vain and unbecoming commit idea tions, or reeling to ami fro at the mercy of tho brute creation, with his brain swimming in lliu hellish bever age, if he could but just iiupiire, be fore his llnming eyes would appear a little neglected house, perhaps not far distant, in one corner of which sits a ghastly form; I he form of a woman, once a fair, lovely hiss, bill now the subject of care and grief.

Sil ver was in his hair, earn upon his brow, and he slightly stooped beneath his burden ot* wealth. We were speak ing of the period of bis life he had reached the most perfect enjoyment, or rather, when he had found happi ness to be nearest unalloyed. 'I'll tell you," saicl the million lire, 'when was the happiest hour of my life. At the ago of one and twenty 1 had saved SfrSOO. I was earning $?OU a year, and rny father did not take it from me, only requiring that I should pay my board.

'On Monday evening, when the la bors of the dtiy were done; 1 went, not to the paternal shelter, but to my own house?my own home.

A Judge of (:laar;ic?er. A few of tkc broad distinctions of j physiognomy depend on th? forms of the features, bill all its nicer shades have far more to do with expressions; and in this, indeed, the real char acter is often seen where the confor mation of the features seem locontra dict it. There are Some general and well-known rules for the determina tion of physiognomical character, as far s> it has to do with the shapes of the features; the aquUiuc nose and e\e, for instance, belong to the heroic class, ti ick lips to tbe sensual, and thin to the sellisii; yet these may all be liable to many exceptions?the first cert it tidy are; tor Nelson, Wolfe, I'll feu lie, ami many other heroes had nothing of the eagle physiognomy. It is natural to associate beauty wi'.h goodness and ugliness with wicked ness; and children generally do this, but an acquaintance with the world soon shows us that bad and sellisii hour's may be concealed under the ha mistimes t fixtures, ami the highest virtues under the homvliest; ami that goodness may even consist with con formations of lace actually ugiy. We l hen begin to look for the character in the expression rat her t hau in the forms of the features, and to distin guish assumed expressions from na tural ones; and so we go on, and. as we grow older, become better phy siognomists, though we never arrive at the certainty of judgment which seems not to be intended we ever should. The idea that obtains to loo great an extent. North nnd South, that la bor is disgraceful, is a n abominable idea.

We have to a great extent, the power oi'prolougirig our lives. Liv ing by rule, aud obeying nature's simple laws, may seem very irksome to people at first, but doing so soon becomes a habit, and a blessed habit, and one that tends to happiness, to comfort and length of oayS. A great deal might be said about the benefits of regularity in our modes and ways of living. Asa 'proof of the beneliciality of regular, living, the fact that old people who have once settled down in a kind Of groove of life, can not be uusettled therefrom, even for a few day's with out danger to health and life itself. They may have, .perhaps, their regu lar time for getting up in the morn ing, certain methods of ablution, cer tain kinds and qualities of food and drink, certain hours for taking these, certain times for rest, exercise, aud recreation, and a hundred Other things, which, taken separately, may seem but trifles, but taken in the ag gregate make up their lives, and they know nnd feel that they must not be unsettled; The wheels of life will run long in grooves, but soon run out over rough. Irregular roads. 11 ab it Sx whet ber good or bad, arc easily form ell whim one is young, but when one gets up in years it is terribly difficult ami ol'linies dangerous to set them aside. Therefor*', study, if you would live long, to be regular in your habits of life in every v\ ay, and lei your regularity have a good tendency. Know One AnolhCf*. Henry Ward Heecher. in one of his sermons, discussing.the duty of the members of a church to know one another, jays that churches are like hotels; cue If io'l'gcr has his own room and calls for what he needs, and does not feel hojiud to take care of any of the other -lodgers, lie says better that they are "spiritual boarding? houses." The occupants of the dif ferent rooms do not know each other even at the table, Pew-holders arc not acquainted with other pew-hold ers, and those that go to the Lord's Table do hot recognize neighbois on the right and on the left. But the best thing we have met with oh this Subject is the saying of ti Kosten in n on a sermon on "Recog nition in Heaven." lie told the preacher he would fpre?ch more to the point if he would "preach about ihn Vvcognhioh bj'-friehtls /icir." Sa.d he: "1 have been a member of this church during twenty years and 1 do not know any of the members." Is (ids the spirit of the Gospel of Je sus Christ?
