THE MERRY LAUGH. I love to a hear a merry laugh, Out-ringing wild and free, As flonta the musio of the winds Across the sunny sea. The merry laugh goes hand in hand, With happiness and mirth ; And at its silvery toned command Joy nestles round each hearth. The inerry laugh bespeaks a heart With noble feelings worm. One that will bravely do its part In sunshine or in storm. The music of a merry laugh Sets nged hearts aglow, The ?mile? gleam oVr the wrinkled brow, Like sunlight ou the biiow. Then let the merry Inugh ring out Upon the balmy air. And let its gladness put to rout The bold intruder?Cure. EXCER.I?TS.

Alluding to iho impassioned invocations addressed to the American eagle by such as would have him moult his feathers ancj assume in their stead the bristles of the 'fretful porcupine' because Mr. Secretary Cass has re-announced the traditional policy of our Government in the matter of naturalized citizens who voluntarily return to their native country, the Baltimore Patriot sympathy ieally remarks as follows: 'Somebody ought to interfere in behalf of this unfortunate bird. For now more than half a century he has been incessantly persecuted by village orators, lecturers, per formers at junior exhibitions, and by politicians in (and out of) Congress. Travellers who have visited Switzerland will recollect that at Geneva (of which canton the eagle is the heraldic emblem) one is maintained at thy public expense in a cage, but which visitors are not allowed to worry. We, who have also chosen him to represent our 'boast of heraldry and pomp of power,' treat him, or allow him to bo treated, in a very different manner. He i? fiomn?lleH tn An all manner of things which no bird?even an e;.glo?ever did before. He is set up 'on the top of the snowy Sierra' and 'on the inaccessible peaks of the Rocky Montains,' and thence made to descry the 'distant shores lashad by the Atlantic surges or laved by the placid swell of the Pacific.' With 'his head in the North and his tail in the South,1 be is made to 'flap nis broad wings over a free and enlightened nation ' It is unusual, however, for his tormentors to begin their worryings so early in the season as has beet? done this year. Ordinarily it is the custom (although there is no game law on the subject) to delay these shots until the Fourth of July, when the big gun of the village is brought out and let off at him in an oration.' Affliction.?The sweet perfume of many plants remains within them till they are bruised. The alabaster box of precious ointment did not fill tbe bouse with its pleasant savor till it was broken. So, it is not prosperity, but adversity, that brings out the loveliness of the Christian character. How much of the Saviour's glory would have been lost to the world, but for his afflictions. How shrunk and diminished would have appeared that prince of apostles, Paul, bad he encountered no peril or trial in his earibly career! What beauty and glory now gilds the martvrs of other days, and of our own, which had been unknown had they not gone through- much tribulation. 'Prosperity is the blessing of '.be Old Testament,' says Lord Bacon, 'adversity is the blessing of the New, which carrieth the benediction, and the clearer revelation of God's favor. Yet even in the Old Testament, if you listen to David's harp, you will bear as bearse-liko airs as carols; and the pencil of the Holy Ghost bath laboured more indescribing the afHictioos of Job than the felicities of Solomon.' Flowers, Bright Flowers !?We fully agree with a beautiful aud classic writer, when be says the heart of man should bless flowers. They are wreathed round the cradle, the marriage alter, and the tomb. The Persian in tbe far east delight* in their perfume, and writes bis love in nosegays, while tbe Indian child of the far West claps bis hands with glee as be gathers the abundant blossoms?the illuminated Scriptures of the prairies. The Cupid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his arrows with flowers, are a bridal crown with us,"^nation of yesterday. Flowers should deck the brow of the youthful bride, for tbey are in themselves a lovely type of marrifijge. Tbey should twine round the tomb, for their perpetually rented beauty is^t symbol of the resurrection. They should festoon the algfr, for their fragrance and their beauty ascend in perpetual worship before the Most High. Our sorrows are like thunder clouds, which seem black in the dutanoe, but grow lighter as tbey approach.''?

The temptation to drink it is very great in summor ; to use it at nil with any safety, the person should take but a sigle swallow at a time, take the glas from the lips for half a minute, and then another swallow and so on. It will he found that in tbis way it bccomes disagreeable after a few mouthfuls. On the other hand, ico itself may be taken as freely as possible, not only without iujury but with tho most srtrikir.g advantages in dangerous forms of diseases. If broken in sizes, of a pea or bean, and swallowed as freely as practicable, without much chewincr or crushing between tho teeth, it will often be efficient in checking various kinds of diarrhoea, and lias cured violent ca ses of Asiatic cholera. A kind of cushion of powdered ice kept to tho entire scalp, has allayed violent inflammation of the brain, nnd arrested,fearful convulsions induced by too much blood there. Water, as cold as ice can make it, applied freely to tho throat, neck and chest with a sponge or cloth, very ofien affords an almost miraculous releif, and if this bo followed by drinking copiously of tho same ice cold element, the wetted parts wiped dry and the child be wrapped in the bedclothes, it falls into a delightful and life 6.....? ' - UUVI . All inflammation?, internal or external, are promptly subdued by the application of ce or ice water, bccnuse it is converted into steam and rapidly conveys away the extra heat, and also diminishes the quantity of blood in the vessels of the part. A piere of ice laid on the wrist will often arrest violent bleeding of the nose. To drink any ice-cold liquid at meals retards digestion, chills the body, and has been known to induce the most dangerous internal congestions. If ice is put in milk or on butter, and these are not used at the time, they lose thoir freshness and become stale; for the esseDtial nature of both is changed, when once frozen and then thawed.?Hall's Journal of Health. The Wealth of the Astors.?A correspondent of the Jersey Telegraph gives the following apparently authentic informa uiaiiuii IC0JJCUUIJ?? IUU WUttllU Ol II1Q A5lOT family: George B. Smith, lately deceased, was a long time agent of John Astor, chiefly employed in the collection of bis rents, for which service Mr. Astor paid hira eighty thousand dollars a year. I beard, for "I was there" Mr. Smith say that bo collected one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a quarter of rents alone, and these were a small jiart of his property. That Mr. A6tor, at the time of his death was worth twenty-one million of dollars. By his will he gave his son, Win. B* Astor, flfteen million; a partof which was the Astor House. Tbe remainder of his property be gave away in legacies to different persons. From the time of Mr. Astor's decease bis boo must Lave laid up a million of dollars a year for be was then rich, inc!?: pen iently of what his father gave him. Mr. Astor wasBix months bed-ridden, and during all of that time gave orders daily to Mr. Smith. He wentOMce every day to see Mr. Astor, and William visited bis father twice a day. Mr. Smith said that his habit was to go iuto tbe sick room and quietly take a chair and sit down by the bedside. If Mr. Asior's eyes were stiut, be (Mr. S.) would sit about ten minute*, and if be still remained so, be would quietly leave tbe room. If Mr Astor was awake, Mr. S. would tell him what he bad done and Mr. Astor would give bira directions to govern him until the next visit. At one time Mr. Smith was Hnnninfpel "Pro?!Hor?t nf ilio 5 * . WWIWWUU v?? ?uw UlH\>UCIO CBIIU | Drovers1 Bauk, and Mr. Astor immediately sent for hiui.

French Patent Leather.?The process wbicb has been so successfully adopted by the French artisans in glazing leather, so as to give it ibe repute for superior quality and beauty wbicb it now universally sustains, is to work into the skin with appropriate tools three or four successive coatings of drying varnisb, made by boiling linseed oil with white lead and litharge, in tbe proportion of one pound of each of tbe latter to a gallon of the former, and adding a portion of chalk or ocber?each coating being tbor ougbly dried before the application of the next. Ivory black is then substituted for the chalk or octier, the varnish thinned with sprits of turpentine, and five additional applications made in the same manner as before, except that it is put on thin and not worked " be leather is rubbed down wftfe pumice-stone powder, and then placed I in a room at^ ninety degrees, put out of the way of dust The last Tarnish is prepared by boiling one half bound of sapbalt with ten pounds of the drying oil used sn the first step nf thit nrnflAU unH than in fi<? ?. ? -fVM ?U UTV (AIUUU9 j of copal varnish and ten pounds of turpen-1 tine.

Years ago it was almost tho only means of land transportation, save on foot, f?r carriages a"d pleasure-wagons Lave coino in general use within the present century. Horseback exercise for both sexes was general and common within the memory of many now living. as it is now in England and other portions of our country, particularly the southern. It gives robustness to the body, vigor to the mind, freshness to the countenancc, cheerfulness to the spirits, and health to the viscera. In internal diseases it is too much neglected. Dyspepsia, billious complaints, consumption have increased in ratio proportionate to the neglect of the saddloand pillion. In those complaints it is invulnerable, and if we worn Jllilfl In pnntrnl ?lm mnllor tho regimens should lie compulsory. Try, then, ye who aro toimented with dyspeptic devils, tho liorso treatment. It will bring more muscles into healthy action than any other thing except boat rowing, and produce that divertive influence upon the mind, so much needed, yet so hard to obtain. For the feeble maiden, with the rosy hue of heaven upon the cheek, it will do more than all things else combined ; and if used early, will be worth the pains and labor needed for tho trial. Let us, then, have more of this exercise by all, for it is needed for health, it tends to givo a person gracetui moiion, ana lie who can rule a liorse elegantly has progressed far toward personal dignity and politeness. The Charleston Convention.?This Convention is already as good as dead. The materials which it lias been proposed to mingle in the Southern soup will not coalesce. The specific gravities of the several ingredients nrc so different that nothing I ike a consolidated unity can be relied upon. The probability is that the South will keep out of the Convention altogether. The hopes of Mr. Douglas are all gone, and have been since llie triumphant entr)' of that gentleman into New York and Philadelphia some months ago, and any attempt to lift llie little hero into the Presidential Chair will only tend toward the modification and defeat of that scale of the Democracy that has been chipped ofT the old block. The country is tired of the negro question, and would, both at the North and the South, prefer a man for President with large and capacious intellect to any of the small candidates proposed by mero factions. The Southern Convention as at present designed cannot wiu the ^oulh.?Philadelphia Enquirer. A Mississippian was bragging to a* Yankee of the fertility of the soil of his region To give a practical illustration of his subject, he said that ho went to the woods to cut down an oak tree.- After he had chopped for about a week or ten days, ho thought lie would take a walk around tlio tree just to see how much more bo had to cut. When he got to the other side, he saw anacorn springing from a coronai of oak leave?, while the post and arms are entwined with branches of oak, with leaves and acorns. The back is surounded with a spread eagle, and the center is a medallion containing the Slate coat-of-arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak. The seat is composed of pieces of oak in blocks, showing the different grains, and making it a beautiful specimen of mosaic. A group of flags ornament the front of the seat. The chair is massive ; all the carving being wrought from the solid wood. Tho design and exppntinn ia Koontifnl Mrs. Partington says that when she was a gal, Bhe used to go to parties, and always had a beau to extort her home ; but now, says she, the gals tiQdcrgo all sorts of declivities ; the task of extorLing them home revolves on their dear selves. The old lady drew down her specks and thanked her stars that she had lived in other days, when men could depreciate the worth of the female sex. "Besides," she added, "so many men are murdered every day, that you gals must make haste and ant himlmrwln o? soon as you can, or there won't ba any left." ?-"Why so, aunt?"?"Why, I see by the paper that we have got almost twelve thousand post-offices, and nearly all on 'em despatch a mail every day." What is the best guard against an adversary !* said a pupil in the art of self-defence to his teacher?a noted pugilist. 'Keep a civil tongue in your head,' was the unexpected and significant reply. Wby is b fashionable lady like a rigid economist! Because she makes a great bustle about I n little waist. 'Shall I have your hand f said an exquisite to a belle, as the dance was about to commence. 'With all my heart,' was the soft response. People may often ran into excess with their vices, but their virtues are seldom urged beyond the boundaries of prudence. To a discussion at an agricultural club, a wag recommended the farmers to put snuff on their corn, so as to make the crows sneeze, and then to shoot the sneezing ones as the roguea.

Qpen your heart to sympathy, but close it to despondency.^ '. ; Man's Wants.?Rev. J. C. Knowllon, in an address delivered before the IViobscot Agricultural Society, gives the following summary of the wants of man : 1. lie wants to bo well born, that is, ho wants to be born of healthy parentage, and in a morally and physically healthy locality. If ho is born wrong, ho seldom gets right through life. 2. He wants to be well educated, or well brought up. And by education he meant that evory power and faculty of the mind and body be developed, nnd brought to perfection. 3. Ife wants employment. Ho was mado io inuor. ?lien idle, he is always committing sin. It cannot bo othcrwiso. Labor is the condition of happiness, and happiness is for what we live. 4. I Io wants a location, a house, one place in the wide world which ho can call his own. No man ever enjoyed all of life without it. And this bouse ho wants to have adorned, embellished. There is no ono who has not somo sense of the picturesque, the beautiful, and the more home is adorned, the more of happiness it will afford. 5. Tie wants a companion. It is not good for a man to be alone. After a home, every man wants a wife; every a woman husband. He needs a wife to assist him in the accumulation of monev. This said the Rev. gentleman, although not strictly an agricultural subject, is collateral to it. 6. Man wants a Christian hope for the future, when ho shall have done with earth and its labors. A chair has been made from the wood of the Charter Oak, in Ilartsord, called the Governor's chair," to be placed in executive Chamber. The Ilartford Times d cribes it as follows: The chair is six feet high, and capacious enough to hold a Daniel Lambert. The top of each post is ornamented with an other man chopping on the same oak. "I say," says our friend, "how long have you been cutting ?"?"Just three weeks," says the stranger. The tree was so big round that they did not hear the sound of each other's axes. ^ Mrs. Swisshelm, in her letters to the young ladies, says that "every conntry girl knows how to color red with madder." Tliis we beleive to bo an ethnological fact, as we have always notice that with all girls the madder they get the redder they are. A Word of Explanation.?If a young lady 'throws herself away.' understand, she has married for love ; if she U 'comfortably settled,', understand that she has married a wealthy old man whom she hates. If lightning rods do not actually take the liglitning from (beclouds, they at least take the fear of it from timid hearts. Fowls seem exceedingly gratef'il for the orift of cold water. Thev never swallow a drop of it without turning up their eyes to heaven. Why is a tender hearted person like a house-keeper with but little furniture ?? Because he is easily moved.

A disappointed lover, down east, lately hung himself with a string of onions. With what net is a lady soonest caught ? Net profit. An envious man repines as much at the manner in which his neighbors live as if jje maintained them. A truly grateful heart may not be able to tell its gratitude, but it can feel and love and act. Lifo's pleasures, if not abused, will be new every morni jg and fresh every evening. It is much easier to disparage a science than understand it?to appear above it than skillful in it.
