For p'easure or pain, for woal or for woo, 'Tis tho law of our being?wo reap what wo sow. We may try to ovado them?may do what we will But our aotB, liko our Bhadows, will follow us Btlll. The world is a wonderful chemist, bo eure. And detects in a moment tho baee or tbe pure; Wo may boast of our claims to genius or birth, But tho world takes a man for juHt what he's worth. Westart in the race for fortune or fame, And then when we fall tho world bears tho blame} Bat niuo tunes in ton, is plain to be eeeu, There's-a "sorow somewhere loose" iu the human machine. Are you wearied and worn in this bard earthly strife? Do you yearn for affection to sweeten vour lite? Bomombcr this groat truth has often been proved. We must mako ourselves lovable would wo be loved. Though lifo mayappear as a desolate track Yet the bread that wo cast en the waters corns back, This law was enacted by Heaven above, That like attracts liko and love begets love.. We are proud of our mansious of mortar | and stone. In its garden are flowers from every zone, j But tbe beautiful gracts that blossom | within, Grow shriveled and die in tbo Ups1; of ein. ; We make ourselves heroeB and martyrs for I Sold ealth becomes broken aud youth be? comes old; Ah! did wo tbo same for tbo beautiful love, Our lives might be mnsio for angels above. We roan what we sow?oh, wonderful trnth! A troth hard to learn iu tho day of our youth; Bat at last it shines out as a "hand on tho wall," For the world has its debt and credit of all. The report of tho Secretary of the Treasury on the state of the Guanoes, ocntains the accounts of the receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year ending'Juno 30, 1874, tho total net re? ceipts being, exclusive of loans, ?289, 478,759.06. After deducting unavaila? ble balances with the 'depositaries, the total available cash was, including the British Government avails, and the excess of certificates and legal tenders, &o., $453,365,668.59. After the total expenditures, a net surplus was left at the end of the year of $2,344,882 30. During the months of July, August and September, bonds to the extent of 812,936,450 were purchased for tbe sinking fund account. l\ borne remarkable acquisitions have lately been made by the Berlin Mu? seum. They consist of a collection of beautiful little terra cotta figures from the excavations now in progress at Tanagra, in Bcootia. It appears that these treasures were first brought to light a few months ago by a mere chance, which disclosed the existence of a series of subterranean grottoes containing funeral urns and stone cof tiuH. Many of the latter, on being opened, were found to be the recepta? cles of various objects, formerly be? longing to the deceased, and reverently laid beside his remains. They are for the most part?Bneh of tbem, at 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 that the ladies of the period, like their descendants, from time to time, were beset by a mania for dyeing their hair red, and that the fashionable wear of the day was pink over light blue. One iady huti lwi?ieu hoi' hair into the shape of a towering pyramid, on the very top of which is perched, quite in the modern style, a broad conical hat, not European, however, but Chinese in form. Some of the ludies hold a fan, others a flower or a fruit in one band, others are sitting, the hands folded under the peplos, and one foot daintily peeping out from the edge of the skirt. Another is entirely disrobed and stand? ing evidently as a model for the artist, whose work is literally as perfect as if he had just finished it on tho very morning of your visit to the Mnseum. A sitting boy with fair hair and blue eyes is also a charming work and in perfeot preservation. Two of the groups are carricatures, representing the one a gentleman under the hair? dresser's hands, and the other a pastry oook making cakes. A New Enterprise.?For me no? thing is more interesting thau to see u man in the first iuteuse strain of a new enterprise; it may be a new cider-mill; it may be a new newspaper. It is u great crisis in that man's life. He lives thirty days iu one. Old, tritu proverbs take on new and startliug meanings. He looks upon all meu and all things in a strange, now light. Ho judges all meu and all things with regard to the accomplishment of his own supreme design. During a cer? tain time, the stars iu their courses fight for him; then the very universe changes its direction, and pushes with all its weight ugaiu6t bin lolteriug walls; another change, and a tbousuud accidents are iu his favor. He does not know till yeaas afterward with what concentration he labored in those days of begiuning. Ho smiles at him? self, and tells pleasant stories of his make shifts and absorption; and now, when he sees unuther aud younger per? son starting his cider-mill, with the old, outworn enthusiasm, he looks on with the same half-syinputhetic, half cynical interest with which an old mar? ried couple contemplate two young people who have just fallen iu love.
