BY WILLIAM W. ORANDY. I where ia contentment to be found I la it a plant of earth f Orowa it upon terrestrial ground, Or claims it heavenly birth! Tis not where gems of beauty bright Diffuse their sparkling rays ; *Tis not wljero proud ambition's height r Calls forth the moed of praise ; lis not whore pomp and glittering wealth Their dazzling charms display, ; Nor yet in beauty, or in liealtn, Contentment leads the way. In vain the sons of man have sought Her smiles and charms to gain.: - Monarchs aud kings in vain have fonght This precious boon to obtain. But there's a gem of Sacred worth Within the hun\an breast: ' It smooths the thorny paths of earth, And leads to endless rest. *Tis lov? to God, and love to man ! That only can bestow Contentment and true happiness On mortals here below. ~ vuf. The Power of the Imagination. That mysterious influonce exercised by the min(| ovor the body, is well illustrated in the following CuSCj contained in Dr. Warren's excellent treatise on the "Perservation of Health." "Sometime since a female presented herself to me, with a tumor, or swelling of the subraaxilary gland of the ] neck. It was about the size of an egg, had lasted, two yearB, and was so very hard that I considered any effort to dissipate i,t by medicine to be vain, and advised its removal by an operation. To this the patient could not bring her mind; therefore, to 6at,is fy her wish, some applications of considerable activity were directed to be made to the part; and these she pursued a nnmbcr of weeks without any change. After this alio culled on me, and, with some hesitation, begged to know whether an application recommended to her would, in my opinion, he safe. This consisted in applying the hand of a dead man three time to the diseased part. One of her neighbors now lay dead, and she had an opportunity of trying the experiment, if not thought dangerous. At first I was disposed to divert her from it, but, recollecting the power of the imagination, gravely assured her she might make the trial, without apprehension of serious consequences. Awhile after sho presented herself once more, and, with a smiling countenance, informed mc she had used this romedy and no other; and, on oxamining for tho tumor. It nfld difwrnnonrofl ' Just one Shade Greener. A. lady of this city, says tlio Boston Journal-?whilom a belle of the North ?shopping one day last week, called for some green silk. The piece was proddSed?that would not do. Another, another, and yet another was . brought forth by the salesman?but of no avail: none there among the am pie pile that suited the fastidious lady's taato. "A deep, very deep and dark green is what I wish," said the fair customer. The shelves were then again ransacked by the attentive attendant?deeper and deeper still glowed the green, until it emerged into a dark sea tint?but none yet had been displayed suitiug the lady's fancy. At length, fairly out of patience with .his customer, the irritated salesman exclaimed?"Madam, I do declare and verily believe that you do not know what shade of ^recn you want yourself." "I do, sir, right well," returned the fair, fastidious and witty one: "select a pattern just one shade greener than yourself, and I'll take it at once. An Infamous Sermon.?Tho American Organ says : Sunday last was ob sefved m Richmond, Virginia, as a day of thanksgiving for the preservation of its citizens from the scourge of yellow fover. Tho Roman Catholic Bishop, McGill, availed himself of the occasion to insinuate that the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth were desolated by the yellow fever as a judgment^ of Almighty God, to punish their m-* habitants for votinir the American tick ct last spring. Unfortuuateiv for the Biehon's "argumont." the Mayor of Norfolk, when tho fever broke out, wai a Catholic, and waft one of the victims of the fever. Besides, how happeus it that Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Alexandria, all of which gave tho American ticket, large major- * ities, have not been visited by the ycl- 1 low fever. Choose ever the plainest road \ it al- ' ways answers best. For the same reo- < son, choose ever to do and trv what is . the most jtist and the .most direct. I This conduct will save a thousand I Mnshcs, and a thousand straggles J \ >d will deliver you from the secret \ nents which are the never failing J 'ants of dissimulation. . ' ; ^ JJI s 'm WfijSj pE signs and wonders easel ?N<* till the destroying angel shall clip shoirt the thread to time, and the heavens he rolled together as a scroll. Not a day passes but we seegpod and bod signals the following win show : It's a good sign to have a man enter yonr office with a friendly greeting? "Here's two dollars to pay for iny paper." It's a bad sign to see a man say he is to pqpr to take a paper?ten to one liecarries home a jug of "red eye" that cost mm half a dollar. It's a good sign to boo a man doing an act ot charity to his fellows. It's a bad sign *o hear him boasting of it. Ifa a good sign to see the color of | health in a man's face. It's a bad sign to see it all concentrated in his nose. It's a' good sign to see an honest man wearing old clothes. It's a bad sign to see tbem filling holes in his windows. It's a bad sign to see a man wipe the perspiration from his face. ,lt\ a oad sigh te see him wipe his chops as he corhee out of a 6aloon. It's a good sign to wfeh woman dressed with taste and neatness. It's a good sign to see a man or wo man advertise in the papers. It's a bad sign to see the sheriff advertise for tlicni. Bo Gentleman at Home. There are few families, we imagine, anywhere in which love is not abused as furnishing a license for impoliteness. A husband, father, brother, will speak harsh words to those whom he loves the best, and those who love him best, simply becauso the security of love and family pride keeps hiin from getting his head broken, it is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely, at times to his wife or sister, thau he would to any other foiualn^ except a low and vicious one* It is thus that the honest affections of man's nature prove to be a weaker protection to Woman in the family circle, than the restraints of society, and that a woman usually is indebted for the kindest politeness of life, to those not belonging to her own household. Things ought not so to bo. Tho man, who, because it will not bo resented, inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon those of his hearth stone is a small coward, and a mean man. Kind words are circulating mediums between true gentlemen and ladies at home, and no polish exhibited in society can atone for the harsh language and disrespectful treatment too often indulged in between those bound together by God's own ties of blood,and the still more sacred bonds of* conjugal Republican. Dirty Boots vs. Snow-wuiteQcilts. ?On one of the Sound steamers, lately, the Captain, who had the bump of Order highly developed,?as every steamboat captain should have,?and who was looking around, as was his custom every night, to see that everybody was proper ^tucked in' and all was right; upon going into the lower cabin, ho espied a pair of countryish boots having a remarkable affinity to hardened frccsoil, and which covered the linge extremities of their owner, all in.fearful contrast with the snow-white quilt that supported them.' This was enough to disturb said bump even at a medium degree of development, but the considerate captain tain shook Mr. Boots gently,? i. 'It is against tl)e rules of this boat, friend, fur gentlemen to wear their boots in bed.' As soon as the awakened owner was ablo to comprehend the case, he remarked quite coolly, and no doubt innocently enough,? 'O 1 it won't hurt 'em, I guess?they arc an old pair. I'll risk Tom.' Snocrnho by Accident.?'Plaso yer Lordship's honor,' said, Tim, 4 shot the hare by accident." 'By accident!' remarked Captain Charles Halloran. 'I was firing at the bush, and the baste ran across my aim on his own accord.' That gamckoepcr tells a different story,' said his Lordship. 4Qch ! don't yon put faith m what that man,' says Ryan, 4when he never care? about spaking truth, nohow, lie told me tho other day your Lordship 1 was not as fit to fill the chair of justice as a jackass." 4Ay, ay,' exclaimed his lordship, 'indeed! and what did you say t" 4Plase yer Lordship, I said yer 1 Lordship was, that is, that yer Lordship never was a jafckaee!'
