No matter who you are, what your . lot, or Where you live, you cannot afford to do that which is wrong. The only way to obtain happiness and pleasure for yourself, is to do the right think.

There is a legend that ono day a Woman went toBrigham Young for coun? sel touching somo alleged oppression by an officer of the church.

"My name," was the indignant reply, "why, lam your wife!" "Whon did I marry you V* The woman informed the "President," who referred to an account book in his desk, and then said: "Well, I believe you are right. I knew your face was familiar I" The Ventriloquist and the Bear. On a fine afternoon in autumn, a large crowd, composed of men, women and children, were seen advancing the princi? pal streets of Ilopcficld, a small village in England. In the midst of them was a black bear, which -walked unconcernedly along, conducted by his keeper. This man wore a drab surtout, large enough to admit two persons of his di? mensions within its folds ; a waistcoat much too short, boots which only lacked the sides, and a bat grown gray with time. A young boy. with a famished look, marched in front, blowing on a flageolet, and thumbing a tamborine. When he had arrived in front of the Red Lion, tho only tavern in the village, the bear leader stopped, and forming a ring round him, ordered bruin to stand up. After branishing a stick above tho hoad of the animal, he commenced dan? cing with him, and throwing himself into the most ludicrous attitudes, which bruin imitated in a style truly picturesque. The inhabitants of Hopcfiold appeared de? lighted, and the crowd laughed with good will and loudly. A ventriloquist of joyous mood, who happened to bo at tho Red Lion, beheld from a window this ludicrous scene. Having arrived that morning at Hope field, he had already formed a just esti? mate of tho ignorance and credulity of its inhabitants; and tho idea occurred to him to amuse himself a little at their expense. He left the window, and joined tho crowd of spectators, and, availing him. t self of a cessation of the elirill flageolet and noisy tamborine, he approached tho showman. "Your boar can, doubtless, speak ?" said he, with a serious air. The showman looked at him cunningly, shrugged his shoulders, and answorctt roughly: "Speak to him yourself, and you'll soon find out." This was just the reply tho ventrilo? quist expected. Ho approached bruin, and assuming a most comical oxprcssion, he said to tho bear, in a droll tone of voice: "Allow me to compliment you, Mr. Bruin; you are as graceful as an opera dancer. "What country claims the honor of your birth V A voice which socmcd to issu from tho grisly jaws of tho bear, replica : "The Alps, in Switzerland." We will not attempt to describo the amazement of tho crowd; every one was struck muto with fear and astonish? ment ; but the surprise ol tho showman would have offered an admirable subject for the pencil of Hogarth, surrounded by all thoso faces in which consternation was so strongly depicted. His eyes seem? ed starting from their sockets; he stretch? ed wido his toothless mouth, and remain? ed aghast and motionless, as if his foot had taken root whore he stood. Tho ventriloquist turned to him and said : "Your bear speaks very good English, and has little remains of the Helvetic ac? cent." Then turning again to bruin, ho ob? served, in a kind tone: "You look sad; are you not well ?" "The fogs of England have given mo tho spleen," replied tho animal. Hero the affrighted crowd began to' move. "It is a long time since you belonged to this master?" "Quito long enough for mo to bo tired of him." ?'Is ho not kind to you, bruin ?" "Oh, yes?as kind as tho hammer is to the anvil." "Will you not seek revenge some day?" "Assuredly?one of these mornings I will oat him liko a radish, for my break? fast." At these words, tho crowd, whoso cu? riosity had urged them, in spite of their fears, gradually to approach, now sud? denly fell back on each other, and great was tho 'confusion that ensued. The showman had heard enough, and forcibly drew the chain of the animal, to enforce his control, but the wearied boar growled fearfully. Tho ventriloquist, perfectly satisfied by this experiment, turned suddenly about, and hurried toward tho tavern.? This augmented still more tbofears of the spectators, and each one took to his heels, as if the bear wero in pursuit of them. Tho ventriloquist, having arrived at the inn, laughed heartily to see the simple villagers flying in every direction, whilst the imperturbablo bruin remained seated on his hind legs, seeming to contemplate with unconcern tho terrors he had exci? ted. During the evening, tho ventriloquist stood at tho door of tho tavern, around which many of the inhabitants had gath? ered. The theme of conversation was, naturally, the adventure of bruin. It was commented upon, and exaggerated, ac? cording to the various degrees of the fcarE of tho beholders. Tho ventriloquist, thinking that the joke had been carried far enough, ex? plained how ho had played upon their credulity. -Q ? Gen. Longstreot was recently sere? naded in Natchitoches, where he was on business. In his acknowledgment he said : I have no platform upon which to address you. If I approach Mr. Johnson I am called a traitor; if towards tho Radicals I am called a rebel; therefore I must be content to remain on the fence. Symbolic Meaning of Colors.?White was the emblem of light, religious purity, innocence, faith, joy and life. In the judge it indicates integrity; in the sick man, humility; in woman, chastity. Red, tho ruby, signified fire, divine love, tho Holy Spirit, heart of the Creative power and royalty. White and red rose express love and wisdom, as in the gar? land, with which the ancients crowned St. Cecilia. In another sense, red signi? fies blood, war, hatred and punishment. Red and black combined were tho colors of purgatory. Blue, or the sapphire, expressed heaven and the firmament, truth, constancy and fidelity. Yellow, or gold, was the symbol of the sun, of the goodness of God, of imitation or marriage, faith or faithfulness. In the picture of the apostles, St. Peter wears a 3'cllow mantle over a blue tunic. Yellow also signifies inconsistency, joalousy, de? ceit; in this senso it was given to Judas, who is generally habited in yellow. Green, the emerald, is the color of spring, particularly hope of immortality, and of victory, as the color of the palm and laurol. Violet, the amethyst, signified love and truth, or passion and suffering. Hence, it is the color often worn by the martyrs. Black expressed the earth, darkness, morning, wickedness, negation, death; and it was appropriate to the Princo of Darkness. In some old, illuminated manuscript, Jesus in tho temptation woro a black robe. White and black together signify purity of life, and mourning or humiliation. Fun at Home.?Don't be afraid of a little fun at home, good people. Don't shut up your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your hearts lest a hearty laugh shake down some of the musty cobwebs there. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that ail mirth and social enjoyment must bo left on the threshold without, when they come home at night. When once a house is regarded as a place to oat, drink and sleep in, the work begins that ends in gambling house" and reckless dissipation. Young people must have fun and relaxa? tion somewhere; if they do not find it at their own hearthstones it will bo sought at other and perhaps less profitable places. Thcrcforo let tho firo burn brightly at night, and make the homestead delight? ful with all those little arts that parents perfectly understand. Don't repress the buoyant spirits of your children ; half an hour of merriment round the lamp and firo light of home, blots out the remcm branco of many a care and annoyance during tho day, and the best safe-guard they can tako with thorn into the world is tho unseen influenco of a bright little domestic fireside. .-* Remarkable Document.?Ono David Quinn, of Chicago, has just published, in pamphlet form, a memorial to Congress, advising the re-establishment of negro slavery. It presents the subject in a new phase, in which it has probably not here? tofore been considered. It hold that men are divided into species and have different natures; that tho negro finds his civil liberty in his slavery, and that the white man undergoes a change in America which makes slavery essential; that tho French in Canada and the Spaniard in Mexico have degenerated, and that the nativo people of the Northern United States aro now three inches less around the chest than the Europeans. The au? thor brings forward many historical and scientific facts in support of his argument. -+ Immortality.?How very beautiful the following gom, and how happy tho heart that can soe these beauties. It is refresh? ing to read such. Its exquisite beauty will induce many of our readers, no doubt, to transfer it to their Scrap Books: "Why is it that tho rainbow and the cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of the earth, and then pass away, and leavo us to muse on their faded love? liness ? Why is it that the stars, which hold their nightly festival around the midnight throne are placod above the reach of our limited faculties, forover mocking us with their unapproachable glory ? And why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view, and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of affection to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts? Wo aro born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, whero the stars will bo set out before us, liko islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings that pass before us like a meteor, will stay in our presence forever." -o ? A Mississippi paper has tho follow? ing: The false calves are rendered ne? cessary by tho now style of "tilting hoops" which go very far towards exposing what was beforo only dreamed of, or existed only in imagination. In the language of an exchange: " These calves arc not a fleeting show, For man's illusion given, They're filled with bran or stuffed with tow, And swell about a foot or so, And look first-rate, by heaTen." The false bosoms are made of fine wire, in the shape of a bird's nest, with a small spring to them, and really look and feel quito natural. "Selah."?The learned are divided in opinion as to the meaning of this word, which occurs so often in the Psalms. The Targums, and most of the Jewish com? mentators give the word the meaning of eternally, forever. Rabbi Kimchi regards it as a sign to elevate the voice. The au? thors of the Septuagin t translation appear to have regarded it as a musical or ryth mical note. Herder regards it as indicat? ing a change of tone; Mathosori as a mu? sical noto equivalent, perhaps, to the word repeat. According to Luther and others it means silence. Gosenius explains it to mean, " Let tho instrument play and the singers stop." Wocher regards it as equi? valent to sursum corda?up my soul. Sommer, after examining all the seventy four passages in which the word occurs, recognizes in every case "an actual ap? peal or summons to Jehovah." They aro. calls for aid and prayers to be heard, ex? pressed either with entire directness, or if not in the imperative, "Hear, Jehovah!" or awake, Jehovah, and the like, still ear? nest addresses to God that he would re I member and hear, &c. The word itself he regards as indicating a blast of trum? pets by tho priests. Selah, itself, he thinks an abridged expression used for Higgaion Selah?Higgaion indicating tho sound of the stringed instruments, and Selah a vigorous blast of trumpets. -? ? Prayer has drained seas, rolled up flowing rivers, mado jflinty rocks gush into fountains, quenched flames of fire, muzzled lions, disarmed vipers and poi? sons, marshaled the stars against the wicked, stopped the course of the moon, arrested the rapid sun in his great race, burst open the iron gates, recalled souls from eternity, conquorcd the strongest devils, commanded legions of angels down from heaven. Prayer has bridled and chained the raging passions of man, and routed and destroyed the armies of proud, daring and blustering atheists. Prayer has brought one man from the bottom of tho sea, and carried another on a chariot of fire to Heaven. What has prayer not done ? ? In one of William Wirt's letters to his daughtjH', occurs this beautiful passage "on tho small, sweet courtesies of life :" " I want to toll 3'ou a secret. The way to make yourself pleasing to others, is to show them attention. Tho whole world is like the miller at Mansfield, "who cared for nobody; no, not he, be? cause nobody cared for him." And the whole world would serve yon so, if you gave them the same cause. Let overy one, therefore, sco that you do care for themj by showing them what Sterne so happily called the small courtesies, in which there is no parade, whose voice is too still to tcaso, and which manifest themselves by tender and affectionate looks, and little acts of affection, giving others tho preference in every little en? joyment, at the table, in tho field, walk? ing, sitting or standing." -a? Don't be a Loafer.?Young man, pay attention. Don't be a loafer; don't call yourself a loafer; don't keep a loafer's company; don't hang about loafing places. Better work than sit around day after da}r, or stand about corners with your hands in your pockets. Bel ter for your own health?better for your own prospects. Bustle about, if you mean to have anything to bustle about for. Many a poor physician has obtained a real pa? tient by riding after an imaginary one. A quiro of blank paper, tied with a red tape, carried under a lawyer's arm, may procure him his first case, and make his fortune Such is the world; to him that hath be given. Quit dreaming and com plaining; keep busy and mind 3-011 chances. -+ ? In Eastvillc, Indiana, a chap sent to a Radical newspaper a poem entitled " Our Late Lamented President." After the verses were published, the ofrice was thronged with the " loyal" inhabitants, each one of whom, immediately on arrival informed the editor that the poem was an acrostic, naming Jefferson Davis as the " lato lamented." ? A colored barber of St. Louis has been compelled to go into court to prove that he was oot a member of tho Tennos see Secession Convention, nor a captain in the rebel army. A white namesake of his had enjoyed theso experiences, and the authorities finding somo property in Topcka, Kansas, which belonged to tho colored Dromio, attempted to confiscate it. -? ? A new pomade for the hair is called. "Tho Great Head Sccntcr." ? A man who had a scolding wife, bo ing asked what he did for a living, roplicd that he kept a hot-house. ? Beautiful was the reply of a venera? ble man to tho question, whether ho was still in the land of tho living?" No, but I am almost there." -o ? Thero arc 3,000,000 acres of public lands in the Southern States to bo dispos? ed of under the new homestead law just signed by the President. W. K.
