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.

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.

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.

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

"Here's two dollars to pay for iny paper."
It's a bad sign to see a man say he is

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

Ifa a good sign to see the color of |
health in a man's face.

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!'

THE present critical state of European affairs
will render these publications un- '
usually interostfng during the forthcoming
year. They will occupy a middle ground
between the hastily written news-items,
crude speculations and flying rumors of the
daily Journal, and the ponderous Tome of
the future historian, written after the living
intereat and excitement of the great political
events of the time shall have passed away. It
is to these Periodicals that readers must look
for the only really intelligible and reliable
history of current events, and as such, in addition
to their well-established literary, scientific,
and, theological charactor, we urge
them upon the consideration of the reading
