SCRAPS FOR Evarniony.-I-niester. * ate youth is one of the worst infirmni. 'ties of age. Do what; ought to be done to-day, *for to morrow it may rain. Never reproach a man with the faults of his relatives. Men's arguments often prove noth ing but their wishes. The art of pleasing is not necessari. ly the art of deceiving. Some showy quality Often screens a number of unsightly ones. 'Some men think themrselves inspired -when They are only inflated. A quiet minid, like other blessings, as more easily lost than gained. %:ugirls wve love what they arc, in * young men what they promise to be. A city belle is like a steamboat she has always a swvell after ther. The progress of the world is con -tiniually counverting virtues into vice. The glory of coronation, for real -genius, seldom comies till after death. lHe who lives only to benefit him self, gives the wvorld a benefit when he dies. Few boys ares born wvith talents that excel; but all are capable of living wvell. Forget not that human virtue is as polished steel, which is rusted by a breath. To abound in all; things, and not know the right use of them, is positive penury. "Facts speak for themselves," as the loafer said when he surveyed his tattered pantaloons. * The praises of others may be of use, mn teaching us, not what we are, but what we ought to be * What boxes govern the world? The cartridge box, the ballot box, the juty *box,'and the band box. An exchange paper has this adver tisement: "Tiwo sisters want wvash-. ing." We hope they may get it. Sympathy of tastes is a pleasing at traction, but congeniality of principles is the cement of souls. A sensible rule, and one which w~ill apply unive rsally, is, when you have nothmng to say, say nothing. A THlING WhICh EvERY FARana SHOULD KNow.-lf you wish to drive a cut nail into seasoned oak timber, and not to have it break or bend. just have a email quantity of oil near by and dip the natil before driving, and it wvill never fail to go.

Instances of this are to be -seen and heard of every day. Young men corn. mence new enterprises full of hope, en. ergy, and vigor. They expect, appar. ently, that the rewards of their elorts will be instantaneous. Patience is a virtue they know not of, and when they find that the object of their search is only to be attained by years of toil, and perhaps not even by that, straightway they fall into the slough of despond. Too often, alas, they yield permunently to the discourage ments which beset then; they via. it the -dramo-shop, the gaining table, and the haunts of cyprians, until their uMiD, neral and mental, of possessions as well as of prospects, is complete. The other species of ruin is less ap parent, but not the less real. Youbg and young women, ay, and the mid. dIe aged, if not the old, of both sexes, often set up standards of moral excel lence which they desire to reach. They mean to be virtuous in every respect, fulfil every tittle of God's law, and in short, be very good. They coin mence, and for a day or two every thing goes on swimmingly, but as they progress in good actions and deeds, they discern how far below their mark they really come. With each day's experience they learn new les sons of short-comings in the past. W it they once regarded as especial ly bright gems in their crown of good actions achieved, become, by the light of further progress and great er experience, but inditferent stones. And now they have the blight of dis coui'agement to contend with. How few there are who can maintain their ground! Ilow many yield to tempta tion, give up the contest, and abandon themselves to conduct which their con. sciences condemn! We would say to those, to whose cases these remarks apply, do the best you can. No matter how dark the prospect, or how great the discourage ment, do the best you ean. Remem ber always that there is a power which rules and governs all things; put your trust in it, and do the best you can. As the tiny infant casts all its care upon the parent, so cast all your care upon the great Ruler of the Universe, and do the best you can. But don't stop your exertions-there is no excuse, no pal liation for wilful idleness.- Your tl eits, more or less, must not be hid den in the earth. Use them constantly; use then rightly, according to the best of your judgment; do the best you can with them. So will you prosper, so improve, in heavenly as in world ly progress. Let this, your motto, be ever before you: do the best you can.-N. Y Sun. PATRICK HENRaY.-A man ttandp on the floor of the House of Delegates of Virginia. He turns an eye of fire a round him-he trembles with some mighty emotion. That emotion, rea der, was the first breath of new-born li berty!

Whlo would dare to leap on the moss grown and frowning raum parts of monarchy, and pluck its blood-red flag? Who wvould rush out from the security of submission, and Sampson-like, grasp t he lion by his mane? It was the grandlest moment of' time--but God had reared up one to illi it.

HEAVY VIRDICT FOR RAILROAD DAm AoEs.-We stated yesterday, that E. E. Ryder had recovered $6,583, and B. F. Williams $7,000 damages at Boston, from the Portland and Ports mouth rail road company, for personal injuries. The facts in these two eases were, that on the 12th of Septembeir, '51, a bridge about twenty.five feet wide had been taken up on the do fendant's road for repairs, and the reg ular train from Portland fbr Boston with about one hundred passengers on board, ran at great speed directly into the chasm. .lie engineer and fire man were instantly killed, and mnany of the passengers seriously injured. Among the latter was Mr. Williams, who receired a severe blow on his head, causing a conclusion of the brain, and whose entire recovery, according to the testimony of several experienced physicians, is. extremely doubtful. Mr. Ryder was also injured.-Balti more Sun, 24th. EXTRAOniINARY PRoDUCTIONs.-The editor of the Lagrange Reporter, while on a visit to Griffin a few days since. saw soine extraordinary productions of the animal creation, which lie thus de scribes: "I witnessed to-day a remarkable Show ! as follows: a mammoth Mule, Ilenry Clay, 5 years old, 19 1-2 hands high, weighing 2-200; the model Hog, Sam Iouston, 2 years and 9 months old, weighing 920 lbs , and lastly, the wonder of the world in the person of a living skeleton Negro, Wade Hampton, 5 feet high, 80 years old, -and weighs only thirty pounds!

He in sisted that he had placed the money under his pillow and "swore to it." A fter say ing all manner of bad things about the h:,use and its inmaxtes, the clerk pulled the stranger's wallet out of the oflice drawer with his money all safe. "Boots" stood at a distance showing his ivory, and holding out his hand for the reward which had been otTeredl ihr the recovery of the money. The truth flashed across the nervous gentleman's mind, that oni undressing he, for perfect sarety of his treasure, had put his~ mnoney in his boots, but .ust as he was jumping into bed, for getting the contents, very naturally set his boots outside his door to be blacked. We hope he paid boots for his honesty in delivering the wallet to the clerk of the hotel. P'aEIDENT Prianes's PEasoNAL ILan Ts.-The Washmington correspondent of the New York Courier, says of Gen.

Thom as, formerly a newspaper ear rior in Cincinnati, it is stated by the Com mercial of that city, returned from Washington a few days ago with a commission as Naturalist to the Kane Arctic Exploring Expedition. Mr. Thomas is quite young, and while serving as a newspaper carrier in 18418, his unusual knowledge of Bot any, Geology and Zoology, was the subject of general remark. Subse quently he was employed as an assis tant teacher in a public school at a salary that barely enabled him to support himself and motber. In 1851, he took a prominent part in the proceedings of the American Associa tion for the advancement of science, and by his talents attracted the at tention of Prof. Beard and Prof. Uien ry, of the Smithisonian Institution,'and through the latter gentleman he has now received his commission as Nat uralist'to the Arctic expedition. STEAM COMMUJNICATION BETwEEN BALTIMoaE AND IvEPOOL.-We learn that a company is at length being form ed for the establishment of a line of steamers bectween this port and Liv erpool. The charter is now before the Legislature. The company will com mence with a capital ofl $,00.000, and ask the privilege of Increasing the same, if desired, to *2,000,000. It is understood that it is the intention to build two steamers at first, and in crease the number to four, as the com pany progresses. The steamers will be of a superior character, though in tended principally for freight and see ond class passengers. The impression is that the stock will be readily taken, a number of our most influential mer chants and capitalists being interested in the enterprise. The steamers con temp~lated wvill be of about two thou sand tons burthen, and are to be put under contract as soon as prelimi nary arrangemqp1ts can be completed.
