4 4 I It it not by mr study, ly tho tnert ecuiDulallon of knowlrilgn, that you can hope for eminence. Menul discipline ; tti xerclto of tha faculties of tho mind; Oit quickening of your apprehension ; ilio strengthening of your memory ; llie form fng of a iounJ, rnpiel and discriminating judgmtot, are of even more imparlance than the itore of learning. Practice tlie economy of time. Consider limn, liko the faculties of your mind, precious estate ; that every moment of it well Applied is put out to an exorbitant Interpol. The zest of amusement Itself, and ilia iticcossful re suit of application, depend in a great measure upon the economy of lime. Et liinate, also, ihe force of habit. Exeroii a constant, an unremitting vigilance of the acquirement of habit, in matters that are apparently of entire indiTuience that per. haps are really ao, independent of the Labil they engender. It is by the De lect of audi I rides thai bad liubits aro ac quired, and that the mind, by tolerating negligence and procrastination in matters of small aooounl, but frequent occurrence mailers of which tho world lakes no no tice becomes accustomed to the tame do fuels in mutters of higher importance. Dy motives yet more urgent ; by higher and purer aspirations; by the duty of bcdienco to the will of God ; by the aw ful account you will lmvo to render, not only of moral actions, but of faculties en trusted to you for improvement by all these high argument do I conjure you "so to number your days that you may apply your heart unto wisdom," unto that wisdom which, directing your ambition to the noble end of benefitting mankind, and teaching humble reliance on tho mercy of your Redeemer, may support you it) the " time of your weultli," and iu "the hour of death, and in tho dy of judgment," may comfort you with tho hope of deliver ance. Sir Robert Peel. A ladlgaaal Venial Oul la Defease of ' ' Uoop. The N. V. Tribuno, liko almost every journal in tho country, has had its fl'ng nt ladies' hoops, and catches it in the follow ing stylo from au indignant female ; I allude to " hoops." You do not liko them ; very well, you do not wear them, I suppose, consequently you know nothing of their convenience. II' I tell you that a hoop-skirt relieves the hips and body of the wearer of a load which would be necessary in its nbsctiee, you will say, why necessary, either with or without hoops 1 I reply I would ask you would you like lo aeo the si roots of 'New Fork city ornamented with women in pantaloons t and do you not think that they (patilaloons of course) would be quite as becoming as drapery which shows tho figure with every movement I No woman ventures, unless compelled by necessity, .into the streols when the wiuJ blows, if scant drapery be the reigning fashion. No true man would make remarks about the flying skirls, but there are plenty of mlscrnblo wretches who would ; and but few high-minded women have independ ence enough lo bravo the cheers of such creatures. A person can wulk with much greater ense with a hoop even if the same amount of clothing be worn ; I hero is a buoyancy in the balloou-liko struoture which is a great relief to all who are un. fortunate enough to wear skirts. You say that Ihe Empress Eugenie, " for purposes of her own," first started the, to you, "terrible fashion." Pray, do let the Em- firess Eugenie's and your wifo's, if you inve ono, and your neighbor's wife's nnd everybody's wife's purposes nlono. If wo men are foolish enough to get married, do please lot their dress alone. If they can -contrivo to appear in public one-loiirih of i lie lime, do lot them do so. Respect -fully yours, A Wires a.nd Mother. Lowell, Feb. 1857. A Remarkable Nation. Under the head of " Religious Intelligence," the Dos ton Journal notices soma missionary labors in a region of which but little has hithorto been known. It says: One of the most interesting missions un norm Ken iiy tho American church is tliut lo the Allghans, which has been com nicnced during the past year by tho Pics bytermn Hoard. This has long beon looked upon as a remarkable nation, on account of their independent. Wnitulilo and marliul spirit, and their possesion of a country, lying between India and I'ersia, tfillod with the grandest mountains in tho world, with the original fruits and grains that have spread over the earth following the expansion of the human race mid with anoiunt ruins, tablets, coins and le gend of great value to the religious or scientific niclitrolopst. Out the chief at tention has lain in I lie suggestion, by Sir Willism Jones, Vansiitart, anjothers, that they might be a portion of the Ten Tribe of Israel. Though now Mohammedans, they claim descent from King Saul, through ft son named liuikls, who had a son named Aflghan. And those scholars hnve furnish, (id translations from their legends, uYsciiu ing Ihe capture of the ark of the coven, ant by the l'liilistincs, the anointing of Saul and Samuel, the battle of David and Goliuh, and other event of Scripture his tory, which ilioy claim as their own. Tho seat of this new mission is appointed, fur the present, at Uawal 1'iuJue, a town of 15,000 inhabitants, between the Indus and Jhulinj rivers, 160 miles northward of Labor. This is not within the borders of AfMianistan, where a residence is for bidden by the present disturbed state of Ihecouutiy. vr An honest Dutchman, in training up his son in the way he should go, fre quently exorcised him in Bible lesson. On one of these occasions be asked him : "Who vas dut would not shleep mil Botipbar'a vife ?' "Shoseph." , lt ish a good boy. Yell, vat vas dc reason he voulJ not shleep mil her f P m'l kit'1"" ; shpose be vasn't shleepy.' 'Jfjr It 'I said that fri bis lecture on "Mind your own business," Dr. Magoon relates the following story : " A young man went from New York city to the West, whero ho' commenced ImsiiH-f.s on hi own account, and married His frieiuU iu the city were interested in hi welfare, and when a merchant was about td journey to the place where Ihe young man had located, be was requested lo visit the emigrant, and ascertain how he lived, what sort or a wile bo nati cnoscn, his prospects, Ao. Accordingly tho New Yorker ascertained the residence of hit young fiiund, and called upon Mm quite early in the morning. He found him m a mail, nat cottage, and just taking hi breakfast. The introduction of tho New Yorker lo bi wifo was quite offhand and unceremonious, and be waa requested lo be seated anj parluko of the morning incut. The young wifu had prepared the steak, biscuit, and coflu, with her own bands, and fur a table bad uised her kuuadiu;; board, over wbica uankiu was ;pread, and tho "beard" placed on her lap. Tho New Yoiker declined a seal at the tulle, and took bis leave, Ou making hi report lo bis New York fiieuds as to Low bo found hi youug friend living, ho described the slvin as 'loitgnificentl' nnd for the cxplouation of the superlative be said, tbat were ho the owner of that youn" man furniture, ho would not take ten thousund dollar for the legs of his table 1 " 03" Never say anything before your children that you do not with repeated, i advico that parents- should herd if they would avoid frequent mortifications. At an i'lustralion, read the following pleasing incident, which we iiud in one of our ex changes : " What did your mother snv. mv little man ? Did you give her my card " fc-ked a young gentleman of little boy whose mother bad given him an invitation to call upon her, and whose street door was ac cordingly opened to his untimely sum mons, by tho urchin aforesaid. "Yes, I gvo il to her," was iho innocent reply, "and sho sitid if you worn not n natural born lool, you wouldn't como on Monday morning, when everybody was washin'l" At this juncture, mamma, with a sweet smile of welconiP, made her appearance, nt tne end ot mo Hall, when to her surprise Mr. Verisopht, the visitor, bolted !

On the arrival of an emigrant ship at New York, some years ago, when tho shin of-'.he line North Carolina laid off tho Battery, an Irishman, hearing the gun fired at sunset, inquired of one ot tne snilors, lie jnbers : atr what's that I " What's that 1 Why, that'a sunset!" was mo contemptuous reply.

When a wild Diiimul onoo tastes human flesh, nothing can ever after, says Buffon, dissuade h'm from human slaughter. When a politic ir,n once, obtains a public office, no per suasion can ever induce him logo to work at anything but a nomination for another and nnothcr, during iho term of bis nat ural existence. If you want lo spoil a good citizen for (en years, sccuro him a berth in the customhouse, Ho will nei'r bo socially a well man afterward. Send him to Congress, nnd you ruin him for life. Ho may carry around placards nnd tickets nt the polls, accept a subordinate situation in the police, or run errands for the door keeper of a political meetinghouse, but ho will nover hnvo independence enough to emancipate himself from his morbid ap petite for the "spoils" nnd go to work like nn honest man and a Chris!. in. Fhe.nch vs. English. Harriet Beech cr Stowe writes as follows respecting tha peoplo of France and England : In coming from England one is struck with the manners of the French common people, as entirely wanting in a sort of ob aociuiousncsa which obtains in on aristo cratic country. Thoy aro pleasant, good humored; nnd obliging hui those down, cast lofks of utter humiliation and self, abasement which one sees in the English lower classes, in the presence of their su periors iu rank, do never nppenr. It would appear that .-the ' revolutions of France have made clean work of all that, Thocenerol air of the common neonlo is us inorougiuy ucmocrattc ns in America. -i i . . . . 03 Somebody has becu looking after peppermint statistics. It is stated thnt in two towns of St. Joseph county, Michigan, n 185.1, 25,000 pounds of the oil was pro. duced, which breught in the New York market three dollar pr pound. From eight lo twelve pound .is produoed from an aero' of tlie plant, ,. The first crop re quire a good deal ef care, but th next two years it yields without attention. After the third year the crop must rotate in order to rest the land. The mint is cut . - i .1 in August and the oil extracted by dis tillation,' filtered through flaunel and put up in tin cans for market.! 04T Ccn. l'acker, the Democratic nom. ince for Governor of Pennsylvania, is a printer by trade. The two United Slates Senators and the Chief Justice of Penn sylvania were also formmly printer. KT The Germans have the following curious proverbs : - Women have long bair and short wit. Thera is only on bad wife in th world, but every on thinks thai he has her. . A woman pill more with her thimble than the man ran draw with a bucket. A woman alway keeps secret what the dnaoolknow. Rich wives make poor children. There are only two good women in the world: the one is-dead, and the other b not to be found. Echo in tlie woods, rainbow I Ihe Ay, And wvBuu't beauty, xwb put by. - U.
