MENTAL COURAGE. Moral and ithoysical courage are gene rally understood and appreciated, btit there is a kindred attribute which my be denominated mental courage ; and the for mer are not more indispetisible in the eommon relations of lite, ihat is thedi'tee to the- ticcesstul pursuit of knowleIge, and diseipline of ihd mind. It itiplies a hearty readiness, anti alacrity to all' kind., ot intellectual work, n ib the pow'ver ibld the will to apply the forces of the mind with steady and persevering vigor,. in inanifestiig ditliculties. Much may doubt less be done to promote this habit (if mind, by a jidicious method of insiruction-telc true ibject of wiich is not to rielieve the student of the necessity of labor,b'ut to direct n il tiinulate him to tle fse of his aleft) the'b.Ior7v oPfime, maode the folluoti"g remark to his son on the subject : "No itan deserves to lenen anything ni hich lie does not prin cipally work out fir himself; and the hu sine-ss of the instructer is to help nie schis far out of otherwise inexplicaple diflicul ties." The formation of ibs habit mist, how ier. depend principally in the student himself. And in order to acquire it, the mind should grapple vigorously with such difficulties as occur, before extraneous aid ofany kind is called in. The student must expect to climb the .hill, and swin the flood, and thread i lie lorest, in his in - irllectual progress, as well as to wajk over the smooth and level plain. And % hen lie cores upon such difficihies, lie should not to( re'adily take thw arm of an other, but boldly and patiently try his own strength upon it first. If lie succeeded i.. inaste ring it. the acquisition will be much more secure and valuable to him.

Liquoring.-Wiuthin a few months past we have nioticeit in the travelliing public an increased disposition to "liquor," at the dhiffe-rent posts where the materiel can h'e obtained. The old fashioned piocket tick lers are hegining again to be introduced and we ovrselves have been invited to partiiiate '"by word of month," of the strong sceted drug, by a fellow travellet in the rail road car, and have listened to a if. :ful coimplaintt of another, because ii ~...s not furnuished as a whetter to his ap. petite foi- breakfast. From ibhe.e anid other 'signs ofthe times," we have reason to appreh~end thai on the subject of Temtperance, there is a retrograde movement-tha t the ".escensus .averoi-lhe descent to drunkenntess-is r easy; and that many more amiotng the re -pitedly sotira are tin their downward way thither than is generally supposed -We ' allude to the subject that the friends o' a htumanit~y who have labiored to avert the f evil may not suppose the victory is secure.

It is.trve, that antiquarian notions may be intruduced by writers in. relation to those habits tsed by the Ladies in modern days, buti wd doubt very tnuch whetler'ithey havei -.anAy., sem..lance of those worm by their ili. trious predecessors. Dffierence of opin ion, hont ever, has. no limit in this world aud therefore we consider.that"the tern bustle, as used by ancient writers, was a fancy habit, which was worn dn the out side of lite dress, directly around the waist, which was consider an extra fancy la toot, which none but the nohility was entitled to wear.
