If yoo never make anything yoo will never save anything ; if you never save anythiog, you will oever have anything If you oever buy what yoo do oot need, jon will bavs more time to eojoy what yoo do need If yoo oever boy aoythiog uotii you cao pay for it, yoo will oever be io debt If oobody evsr laughs or soeers at yoo except empty-headed, ignorant people, yoo may feel yourself cam pit? mented. If a wise aod loviog frieod criticizes you, it is worth mach more than a complimeot If yoo oever work, yoo will never become streog ; if yoo are always weak, yeo will be of little service to yoorseif or aoybody else. Learo bow to climb steadily and surely the ladder of success aod use faioees. If your frieod should give yoo a posh higher, yoo will oeed to koow bow to bold oo.

WHERE THEY COME PROM Io respoose to numerous er?quiri-?s on .he subject the State cere publishes s >me facts relative to protoineot oaval offiVrs, the facts being takeo from the Register of 'h eoavy. Admiral W T Sampson is from New York. He was captain of the Iowa at roe beginning of the war. Commodore W. S Sooley (pro oouDoed Sty) was appointed from Maryland aod was formerly chairman of 'he light-boas? board Capt Robley D. Evaas ( 'FightiBg Bob1') of the iowa hails from Utah His religioo is ookoowo. He wa? alco a member of the Us ht-house board. Capt. Charles E Clark, formerly j commander of the monitor Monterey, is from Vermont, the State that claims Dewey. His record as com m an dp r of the peerless Oregon is well known to oar readers C?pt. H C. Taylor, of the indiana, is from Ohio. Capt Jobo W Philips, who recent ?V commanded the Texas, is from New York His removal is io the line of promotion. Capt. Charles V Gridl-y, who c* m tnaoded the Olympia, at Manila, and who died from ?he f fleets of the battle, was from Michigan Commodore John J Watson i* from Kentucky Commcdote Howell is from New York The foregoing ?cm wary gives the ! Stares from which these officers were I appointed, and we trust our correspond eots will accept it in lieu of a letter to eacb. The Spanish Royal Standard The Spanish royal standard is most j complicated. The red and yellow of j the Spanish flag is said to be derived from thia occurrence : In 1378 Charles the Bold dipped his fingers to the blood of Goeffrey, Count of Baree looa, and drew them dewo the ouot's golden shield, io tokeo of the appre ciatioo of the latter's bravery. The shield, so marked became the arms of Barcelona, which became a part of Ar? ragoo, aod its arms were takeo by that kingdom Now to the royal staodard : lo the first qosrter, or epptr left hand par? of the fiig are tbe arms of Lsoo aod Camile, tbe iioo aod tbe castle ; the second quarter is taken op. one half hy the arma of Arragon, ooe-balf by tbe arms of Sicly The tapper third of tbe third quarter (directly under tbe first) shows the Austrian colors, the lower two-thirds H divided between the fi jg of Burge ody aod the Black iioo of Flanders ; the oppcr third of the fourth quarter sbows the chequers, soother Burguaodiao de vise, while the lower two-thirds te shared by the red eagle of Aotwerp aod the goldeo Hon of Brabant, aod so the top of all this are two shields, oae showiog tbe Portuguese arms, the other the French lieur-de lis COD sid ?rable of a flag that Patriotism-False-True. Our benevolence, when directed to ? our countrymen at large, constitutes j patriotism. Few virtues are more universally professed, few are more imperfectly apprehended, and few are more rarely practiced than patriot? ism "Our country, right or wrong'7 is rebellion against th? moral govern? ment of Jehovah aud treason to the Cans? of civil and religious liberty, j of justice and humanity History and daily observation compel the con viction that patriotism is more fre quently professed than practiced, and that much which assumes the name and passes current with the world is utterly spurious Yet it is aUo true that the patriotism which seeks the public good, in obedience to the Di? vine will, and in accordance with the precepts of the gospel, far from being an imaginary, is a real and active virtue. It is. indeed, to be found io camps and senates, but these are not its exclusive nor tts favorite haunts This patriotism inspires many a prayer for the peace, virtue and hap pinee8 of the nation, and prompts in- j numetable efforts and costly sacrifices 1 of time and money for the temporal j aud spiritual welfare of our fellow i countrymen Patriotism springing from obedience to God. guided by ! his laws, and exercised in official sta tion for the national welfare, at the j certain and willing loss of popular I favor and personal advaniage, is per ! haps the highest affection to which I this virtue can attain.-William Jay in 1849 _ mm m_ Abont one monia ago my child, wbicb ia j 5ffeen mon:b9old, bad an attack of diarrrceij accoo pio?ed by vomiting.
