MISCHIEF MAKEBS. O,- could iliere in the world be found Some little spot of happy ground Where village pleasures might abound Without the Tillage tattling; How doubly bleat that place would be, Where all might dwell in liberty, Free from the bitter raisory (*f gossips' endless prattling. tt such a place was really known, bume l'eace might claim it as her own, Aud in it she might fix her throne Forever ami forever. There, like a Queen, might reign and lire, While every one would roon forgive The little slights they might receive, And be offended never. Tis mischief-makers that remove Far from our hearts the warmth of love, Aud lead us all to disapprove What gives another pleasure. They seem to take our part, but when They've heard our cares, unkindly then They soon retail thctu all again, Mixed with their poisonous measure ! Oil ! that the mischief making crew Were oil reduced to ore or two, Aud they were painted red or blue. That every one might know them. Then would our villagers forget. To rage and quarrel, foain and fret, And fall into an angry pet For things so much below them. For 'tis a sad, degrading part. To make another's bosotn smart, And plant a dagger iu the heart We ought to love and cherish. In quietness with all around. While friendship, joy aud peace abound, Let ine in happiness he found, And angry feeling perish. Tiie Planets in March.?The sky in March is au arena on which the plai o s play interesting parts. Mercury, sole representative of the fuutily in the morning sky, will be the charming herald of the sun's near approach. Venus will modestly emerge from her seclusion in the sun's eclipsing beams. Saturn. Neptune and Jupiter will plod along in their west course under the resistless power of the suu's attraction. Mara will follow on the same path with slower step. Uruuus, though faintest of the visible planets to the uaked eye, is most prominent of the whole iuthe part he plays, lie not ouly reaches opposition wheu he is nearest the earth,but the far more important epoch, periheliou, his nearest point to the sun. Every one interested in planetary movements will tiud the conditions for Bud" ing Uruuus among the stars specially favorable. Every observer will look reverently upon tbe plauct, which, though nearly seventeen hundred million miles away, can be plainly seen by the human eye. those wondrous pieces of mechanism, which, unaided, can thus pierce the depths of space. Every observer, too, will remember that though Uranus has been a known member of the system only o ae hundred and one years, it was he who furnished the key for inc uiscovcry ot iNeptune ; tor perturbations iu his uiovcincuts led Adains and Lcvcrrier to detect the presence of an outer plauet and to map out its place iu the heavens. Thus Neptune was added to the system in 1846. The human eye is wondrous and far-seeing, but its powers arc limited and destined to decay. The humau intellect is boundless iu its range, immortal in its essence and forever soariug to heights unkowu. The one dis. covered Uranus as it dimly shoue in the heavens, the ot:.er mapped the sky aud pointed out the spot in space where Neptuue was found.?Providence Journal. # Home Teaching.?llusiuess men say mat it is uaru to nnu Doys wno can Do trusted with tiie handling of money. They cannot withstand the temptation; and nowadays, owing to various causes, temptations are stronger than formerly. Nine tenths of th) office and errand boys of to-day are holding positions of trust, made so by the necessities of business, aud they aro the children, for ?he most part, of men whose stations in life have not shown them the principle of business intergrity. The boys themselves, unused to the luxury of spending money, charmed by its fascinations, arc led to petty thieving. The desire to spend is natural enough, either by jature or training, to withstand the temptation of availing themselves of the opportuniteis tosieal small sums. Their home training lias not made lh ui strong and honest. The existancc of this evil is suggestive to parents who expect their children to enter the lowest places of mercantile life ; it is suggestive to parents who are lavish of their money with their boys, and it is also suggestive to the busU ness men who are to be, dependent on help ofthatkiud. It is enough thata boy "takes to" a business life ; us in any other science he should bo instructed, and his instructor qualified to instruct. The elements of business, and not tho loist amoug them is intogi ity, should he taught hint thoroughly at home. ? ?

Hot It fires are supposed to have bojn incendiary ? The German proverb. "Jfl rest, I rust," applies to inony hing bnilis tin koys. If water rests it stagnates. If the lungs rptjf. wo on n art f r? liroitlm 11r* n?n Kau ??i , ... - ? ? rests, we die, arid if the editor rests, even for an hour, the compositors raiso the "devil" for copy. Ia his experiments with the; sticn^'th of insects, Plateau, the French naturalist, has ascertained that, in proportion t<> its ?ize, a June !hi0' is as powerful us a locomotive. Tran8ient Troubles.?Most of us havo had troublo all our liv is, uod each day has brought all tho evil that wo wished to coduro. But if wo wero asked to recount the sorrows of our lives, how many could we remember ? How many that cro six months should we think worthy to bo ro uiouibered or mentioned ? To day's troubles look largo, but a week hence they will be forgotten and buried out of sight. If you would keep a book and every day put down tho things that worry you* and see what becomes of thorn, it woutd bo a benefit to you. You allow a thing to an* noy you, just ns you allow a fly to settle on you and nlasrue vou : and von loso vnnr temper (or nither get it; for when men are surcharged with temper they are said to have lost it;) aud you justify yourselves for being thrown off your balauce by causes which you do not trace ut. But if you would see what it was that threw you off your balance before breakfast, and put it down in a littlo book, and follow it out, and ascortain what becomes cf it, you would sco what a fool yon were in the matter. The art of forgetting is a blessed art, but the art of overlooking is quite as important. And if we should take time to write down the origin, progress and outcome of a few of our troubles, it would make us so ashamed of the fuss we make over them, that we should be glad to drop such things and bury them at once in eternal forgetfulness. Life is too short to be worn out in pc'ty worries, frcttings, hatreds and vexations. Let us banish all these and think on whatsoever things aro pure and lovely and go nllc, and of good report. Common Mullen for Consumption. ?A correspondent writes to an exchange as follows about the flower of a well known plant; "I have discovered a remedy for consumption. It has cured a number of eases after they had commenced bleeding at the lungs aud the heotic flush was already on the cheek. Alter tryiug this remedy to my owu satisfaction. I have thought that philanthropy required that I should let it be known to tho world. It is common mullen, steeped strongly and sweetened with coffee sugar, and drank freely. Young or old plants ure good, dried in (ho shade and kept iu clean bags. The medicine must bo contiuucd from three to six months, according to ttie uaturo *of tho disease. It is very good for the blood vessels also. It strengthens and builds up the system iustead of taking away the strength. It makes good blood and takes inflammation away from the lungs." It is the wish of the writer that every periodical in the United State, Canada and Europe should publish this rocipe for tbo benefit of the human family. Lay this up aud keep it in the house ready for use. Dr. St. Julien llavcnel, of Charleston is dead. lie was not only distinguished ill Ilia nrnfiwcinn hut ?

To illustrate his sympathy with his fellow-men, it is recalled that he went to Norfolk to nurse the yellow fever sufferers. IIo was certainly a useful citizen.

Setting Unseasoned Posts?T w.m taught that feuco posts should be seasoned, but a trial of bar posts set green, seemed to disprove it. Feeling encouraged in that direction, my brother, about June 1, 1845, sawed from thrifty white oak trcos, posts, for a fouco in front of our houso. They were G by G inches at butt, 3 by G inches at top and wore set at once, the fenc:s being completed in July. Tho fenco is now standing and is in fair order, only two of the posts having been renewed in tho thirty-six years. We have proved on this farm that chestnut posts are more durable if cut aud peeled and placed directly in tho grouud.? Cor Country Gentleman.
