For pleasure or pain, for weal or for woo, 'Tie the law of our being?we reap what wo sow. We may try to evado them?may do what we will But our aots, like our shadows, will follow us stUI. Tho world is a wonderful chemist, bo eure, And doteots in a moment the baee or the pure; We may boast of our claims to genius or birth, But the world takes a man for just what lie's worth. Westart in theraoo for fortune or fame, And then when we fr.'d tho world bears the blame: But nine times in ten, is plain to be seen, Ihere's-a "sorew somewhere loose" in the human machine. Are you wearied and worn in this hard earthly atrife? Do you yearn for affection to sweeten your lite? Bemambor thie groat truth hae often been proved, We moot make ourselvea lovablo would wo beloved. Though life may appear as a doaolato track Yet the bread that we cast on tho waters oome back, This law was enacted by Heaven abovo, That like attracts like and love begets love. We are proud of our mansions of mortar and atone. In its garden are flowers from every zone. But the beautiful graces that blossom within, Grow shriveled and die in the Upas of ein. We make ourselves heroes and martyrs for ?old ealth beoomes broken and youth be? comes old; Ah! did wo tho same for tbo beautiful love, Our lives might be music for angels above. We reap what we sow?oh, wonderful truth! A truth hard to learn in the day ot our youth; Bat at last it shines out as a "hand on tbo wall." For the world has its debt and credit ot ail. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the Btate of the fiounoes, ocntains the accounts of the receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year ending Juho "'50, 1874, the total net re? ceipts being, exclusive of loans, $289, 478,759.06. After deducting unavaila? ble balanaes with the 'depositaries, the 1 total available cash was, including the British Government avails, and the excess of certificates and legal tenders, &c, $453,365,668.59. After the total expenditures, a net surplus was left at the end of the year of $2,344,882 30. D?ring the months of July, August and September, bonds to the extent of $12,936,450 were purchased for the sinking fnnd account, i: ' Home remarkable acquisitions bare lately been made by me Berlin Mu? seum. They consist of a collection of boaatif ul little terra cot la figures from tbe excavations now in progress at Tanagra, in Bceotia. It appears tbat these treasures were first brought to light a few months ago by a mere ohanoe, which disclosed tbe existenoe of a series of subterranean grottoes containing funeral urns and stone cof? fins. Many of the latter, on being opened, were found to be the recepta? cles .of various objects, formerly be? longing to tbe deceased, and reverently laid beside his remains. Thoy are for tu? most part?-snob of them, ut least, as have withstood the injuries of time ?vases, domestic utensils, articles of ornament, and especially terra-cotta figures of various dimensions. From these charming little works of art wo learn tbat tbe ladies of the period, like their descendants, from time to time, were beset by a mania for dyeing their hair red, and tbat tbe fashionable wear of the day was pink over light blue. One lady has twisted her hair into tbe shape of a towering pyramid, on tbe very top of which is perched, quite in the modern style, a broad conical hat, not European, however, but Obineae in form. Some of the ladies bold a fan, others a flower or a fruit in one hand, others are sittiug, the bands folded under the peplos, and one foot daintily peeping out from tbe edge of tbe skirt. Another is entirely disrobed and stand? ing evidently as a model for tbe artist, whose work is literally as perfect as if be bad just finished it on the very morning of your visit to the MoBeom. A sitting boy with fair hair and blue eyes is also a charming work and in perfect preservation. Two of the groups are carrioatures, representing tbe one a gentleman under the hair? dresser's bands, and tbe other a pastry oook making cakes. A New Entbrpbise.?For me no? thing is more interesting than to see a man in tbe first intense strain of a new enterprise; it may be a new aider-mill; it may be a new newspaper. It is u great crisis in that man's life. He lives thirty days in one. Old, trite proverbs take on new aud startliug meanings. He looks upon all men and all things in a strange, now light. He judges all men and all things with regard to the aeoomplisbmeut of bis own supreme design. During a cer? tain time, tbe stars in tbeir courses fight for him; then the very universe changes its direction, aud pushes with all ilB weight against Ihm tottering walls; another change, and a tbousaud uocidents are in bis favor. Ho does not know till yeaas afterward with what concentration he labored in those days of beginning. He smiles at him? self, and tells pleasant stories of bis make-shifts aud absorption; and now, when he sees another aud younger per? son starting his cider-mill, with tbe old, outworn enthusiasm, bo looks oo with the same half-sympathetic, balf oyuical interest with which au old mar? ried aouple contemplate two young people who hnve just fallen in love.
