JOB PRINTING, NEATLY EXECUTED AT TUTS OFFICE?BOOKS, HANDBILLS, CIRCULARS, <fcc. % Miacellaneous* A Chapter.?We love to philosophize upon human life?to catch a moment from the din and bustle of business, for the purpose of reflection?to study the inigma of human existence, and take lessons from the school of experience. We love to pause at the mile stones upon the highway of earthly pilgrimage, mark the distance we have passed, and contemplate the probable length of the journey to be accomplished?to look at the concourse of hetrogenious fellow travellers, as they wend their way along?study their peculiarities, tastes and characters?observe the diversity of their pursuits, propensities and passions?and mark the ephemeral nature both of themselves, their ambition. their pomp, their pride, their riches, and their glory. We love, we say, to .1 ii : ? LAjiiiuiujjiuiu iittrsu uiuigs, ana to draw instruction and amusement from the panoramic view which the picture with its lights and shades with its diversity of combination, constantly presents to observation. Look at society as it is, and what a field presented for contemplation in her sober moments?for the play of imagination in her wildest reveries?and for the groupings of fancy in her choicest combinations. With no guarantied title deed for a moment of the future, man designs and acts as he were immortal?with no evidence of the enduring strength of the thread of life, he postpones his happiness till the next day, the next month or the next year?with no assurance that he shall enjoy the fruits of his labor, he tugs and toils from morn to eve, from year to year, from youth to old age, to accumulate wealth, to increase his stores, to build him palaces and to eclipse his neighbor, in pomp and circumstance of life,?and with no certsiilltv that tlm tnnanip rkf h'mr?_ dor shall not defame his name and blackon his character, lie wastes the vigor of youth and prime of life, ho burns the midnight lamp and spends sleepless nights and wearisome days, to acquire honor, fame, and renow n, which will scarcely survive him for a moment, and which, in the language of Fal stall* will neither "case a pain or set a bone." Verily, man is an igma, and the actions of his life its solutions ! The unintelligent, the ignorant, the inconsiderate, do not understand it?-do not appreciate it?do not comprehend it. There is much of enjoyment as well as much sufferings, in the space of threescore years and ten or less; but the happiness that is proportioned out to mortals greatly overbalances the misery'?is indeed, with few exceptions, nearly equally distributed to all, and a rational, philosophical consideration of this fact, groatIv 11. .1 11 - - -- ! acius to tnc stiare aiiotcd to each individual. Who is not as happy as his neig' ?b< >r? Who would exchange his situation including therein his health, his mind, his intelligence, his contentment, his circumstances, in short his individuality with its appendages, who would exchange with his neighbor? Nothing in point of happiness would be gained by .such an exchange, were it in the power of individuals to make it at their pleasure. Reason it as we may, fix it the best way we can, wish as we please for this thing and that thing, to be in this or that man's place, to have - - - mis possession or mai inheritance, and admit that the desire could at once be gained , it would not add an iota to the permanent even tenor of our happiness. Care and anxiety, said Horace, tne celebrated Roman poet, mounts the horse behind the knight, his rider, and clings to liim with equal tenacity and perseverance as to the poorest menial or the crippled beggar? knocks at the door of the king's palace, as well as that of the peasant's cottage? accompanies the belle and fine lady in her routine of fashion and pleasure, as well as the market-woman at her daily watchings in the streets of the crowded city. Some little care, perplexity and trouble, may be considered the little genius that attends mortals, the balance wheel that steadies the intellectual machinery of man, the counterpoise abstraction to his etherial, spiritual essence, which without such let and hindrance would enact nil conceivable sorts of fantastic capers along the highway of life. That man is the true, nractical nhilosonher. who _ / 1, I I 7 views life as it is, and who deliberately calculates to bear, with a composed mind, and without murmers and complaints, the diversity of fortune that may befal him, who takes the slices of fat and lean as they come, who envies no man his condition, who repines not at his lot, who lives upon the earnings of honest industry, or uses an inheritance in ways of honor and liberality, in promoting his own comfort and happiness and those araund him. It is indeed an entertainment to study human nature individually and collectively, to observe the motives of action, to remark the governing feelings and ^passions that difect and sway the multitude, and to Id raw thence rules and principles by which accurately to judge and wisely to determine concerning the framework of human society. It this is an entertainment, a luxury, a rich boon, it is what ' comes from study, reflection and observation, and what, all who will use the means, i and undergo the labor, may enjoy to their i heart's content, and without stmt of jnca sure. Riot and loss op L.ife at Niagara, U. C.?A riot resulting in the immediate death of two persons, negroes, and the WOlinrlincr nnn ?X*. 1 I v?.v ou|/|/u>3vu nivi iau v , ui mruu . others, occurred at Niagara, on Sunday last. The circumstances leading to this untoward result are briefly these. Some time since a slave from Kentucky stole his master's horse, and made his way into : Canada. I A statement of the facts was submitted to the Canadian authorities from the Gov[ernor of Kentucky, when the man was 'arrested and earned before the proper judicial officers at Niagara, by whom, after a due investigation, he was adjudged a felon, and committed to prison to await a requisition from the proper authorities of Kentucky's The blacks, however, as- i semblcd at Niagara, to the number of at i least four huncfred, dctermlftd to resist his being taken away. 1 The |)roper orel?r for his removal having been received, however, the sheriff* of the district resolved 011 Saturday to deliver him, according to law, to the persons authorised to receive him on the American side, although having but a small guard to protect him, a requisition for troops from. Toronto not having been complied with. As he had, however, deceived the negroes, by reading c rtain papers, which stated that the man should not be given up, until farther investigation had been had, which induced them to disperse, with the exception of a guard of about forty left to keep an eye upon his movements, he imagined the delivery could be effected without opposition. In this he was mistaken, however, as the remaining negroes immediately at- % tacked his party, and rescued the man; . after which he ordered his posse to fire on them, which resulted, as stated above, in the death and wounding of five persons, but the felon escaped. An inquest, we understand, was to have l>een held on Saturday on the dead bodies, but what the verdict was, we have not learned. Much excitement existed, and great trouble and disturbance, it was anticipated, would grow oyt of* this circumstance.?Buffalo Journal. Suspicious Payments.?'How do you do sare?
