The boats on the upper river will not com mence running before tho latter part of April or 1st or May, mid Ihe trip by land c.innot lie nude without great c.eiiseuud fatigue. Tin distance by hind from Hi Dalles Is nearl HI0 miles, and early In Ihe Spring, when the itretims arc nearly ull swimming, the trip is attended with coniiderablc danger.

Laughter. Trim wit, appropriately employed, is won derfully effective, ns a means ol keeping a hu man mind vigorous nnd clcnr. Laughter is the triumph of wit. Tho human race has one class or wrinkles on which It Is n pleasure to look ; nnd they nrc produced by the cordlnl expression of mirth. IT you would know whether n person's disposition is gentle or mo-rou-. look nt tho corners or his mouth. Set: whether happy curves nnd furrows urc or are not there. Honest laughter will give a charm to the homliest physiognomy. Among all the things In which both the useful nnd ngirenblc are combined, w lint Is more Interesting than n laugh thul Is a laugh? Do ynu like those persons who cnt their own lip ? Do ynu like tlioso portions whose " hn 1 tut J" is only mi expression nf bitter scorn 7 .Somebody has said tliat "u laugh like a thing ot beauty, Is a joy forever." It Is certainly a joy in the moment of its expression, True laughter is nnhlc. It is something of which no crrnturc under the sun, except mm, women nnd children, arc capable. Unite mil mnl cnimot laugh. You could not draw n laugh out of n dug or a horse if ynu should tickle him all day long. Some people adopt Allopathy, some Hydropathy, nnd some Horn iL'iKithy ; but begging pardon of iiouo nf the phylcliins, I linvcndoptiilriirAiiiofwi. lainuh ler, nfter nil, is the general panacea. Only luugli sufllcienlly and you eutinnt easily be eoitK sick. Hcttcr is laughter thnn calomel, ir arsenicum. or the wuters of Surnlngn, or in toxicating drinks. Iaiiighler, ns a medicine, aires u person no pain, except In Ids sides, nml that is wholeiHimu patu. Furthermore, he who proceed on my system, enn tiuiko his own meiliuliie mid prescribe for himself. It Is a imixim that a person should not luugli at Ms o n jest ; but Charles Uimb proves that litis is it popular fallacy, uml gives it as his opinion that lie w holders tint enjoy his own hikes, Is " like a genllcninn who commends the llsvor nf hrt venison on the nlwurd strength of lit never touching It himself," Welcome, 11k it. true, fresh, cordial laugh ter ! Welcome you t hose mouths nrc enclosed in plensunt KireuthwlH ! Welcome yon who eon lough yimrsolvH and make other pcnplo luugli !

Halher racy is the following Incident or lire on the toh, us reluted by a clever Ictter-wri. er: Near at hand was n gentleman or a nervous tenimjriiient and excitable disposition, who wus guilty or the egregious roily or cudcu voting to transport a new nnd glossy silk tile, moru com monly called n " plug " hut, nnd whieli, through rear Its shining surface might bo rufllwl, he had curried in his hand for a considerable number of miles. Tho hut wus carefully wrapped hi pajwr and deposited in what wu. thought to be u safe place, where none would bo apt to tuugh or molest it. Tho gentleman retired. Morning caino, and his hat was no where dl.cernable. After searching long and unxlously, it was nt last discovered in the rear of the car with u breakiuau standing on il, guzlng Intently out of the window at the beau tiful scenery ns the glorious rays of the morning sail darted up from behind thouisteru horizon. Tho gentleman wus angry not to euy mad With n frantic rush at tho ouendiugcmyloytc, which nearly upset that individual's t-quilib rlum, ho seized the once shining but now di lapidated hat, and holding U "'oft. exclaimed : " How dare you, sir, how daro you staud with your boots on my hut J" Tho employee glanced first at the gentleman whoso property ho had injured, next at the hut, which looked like a tin kettle after having pissed through u (Autiiuii, uiU luslly at the boots which had doue Iho deed, when he slowly drawled out ; " Give yourself no uneasiness, sir, tho boots are old ones and I don t think it has hurt them any I" " Crushed again," groaned the injured one. a-? ho settled down in his seat with u look of ugony which would have made tho fortuno of any pluy actor who could have successfully iinituted It.

It is not my Intention to lay down n set or rules or examples to bcTullowed by thoc whn have entered the matrimonial stuta, but to git c a little advice and a few words of encourage incut to tlioso whoso new position In life has placed them upon a strange shore, where, very nnliinilly, trials nnd peplexllies will present themselves on every hand. Ho nnt discouraged, my dear young Mends, though dark nml 1iiigrrcablu oloud may at times dim the horizon or your morning of life, pcrchnnco the noon mny make glud your hrnrts by the dispersion of nil stormy npi-cts and the evening bo rndicnt with Ihe smiles of a cloudless sky, nm! nfi the glory and splendor of a bright summer's day mny spread its man tic around you, ere your evening or lire comes on, That young man who hns Just commenced life, nnd placed hltnu-lf In the portion of guardian and protector, has the greatest claim upon your better feelings, for without jour sympathy nnd aid, he enn do nothing: without your kind words uml encouraging miles he lulls In vnlu ; willmut your ciiuTuI conomy nnd tvntchrultness ho loe Ids confi dence; nnd though hu toils early nnd Into, yet Ids labors arc, In a very great measure, fruit less. What, without the Industry nnd ecnnr.mynf tho wile, can that young man or clerk nicom plish, whnc income ir sulury is but trifling when cntiiporid with the wants uud necessities iittetiding Ihe Muf nf housekeeping? And, on tho other huml, what can he not ocoomplith nlfti the companion of id Joys nnd sotruwc enters with n will'"" mind mid heart Into all Ids plans, nnd with Industrious hands, encour aging words, and upproving unites, stimulate him lo stiecet, by proving herself literally ' n helpmeet," in other points than the bottom ol the dl.di and ditto tltcfmrse. Mountains then become as molc-ldlls, and, with the blessings of God, your potli tu furtunc ts suro and cer tain. It Is by far too nlleti the rase with young 'adies of (lie present day, thul upon uniting llieir destinies with a companion, they th n eoiHiiu-r tticir exertions in lunuiii u hvciiiio. u at an end, and that the rest of their journey dn. n the river or life is otic of rompurutitc casf, merely to Told their l.ondi nnd enjoy its luxuries, never minding the redoubled pains ati-1 cudearors or him who is compelled evi-r to be on the sharpest lookout tliat his era ft be nut wrecked on the vnrlble course upon which lie Is bound. Xever, Tor n mom. nt, then, young wife, shrink rrom the duty inpe-sed up on you, nml leuve the buttle of life intln-ly to your companion. The tunny little i-xi'mli- lures whk-h the economizing wife can prevent, the many little comforts whieli the iiidustriuu,. wife cuu secure to her home, nil lend to tnuki- one grent whole ; ntul Is It not then very pliiin how essentially you can ussist in mak ing home happy, comfortable and prosperous ? Hut in tho midst or success, when fortune Mt-ius to be favoring you, uud you urc smoothly tfliding along, do nut be elated ut the pros tiect before you so as lo forget your duty " to 1 1 nn from whom ull blessings How," but dally aekunwhdge Him. and let your lives bo ex amples tlmt lmll be us "a city which is set on u hill," and w live thul when jou shall meet in Heaven, you may together hear that wel come voice, " well done good aud faithful sir runt," etc., Kiwi's Herald. . i ...

Mr Green, the famous diver, tells slnenhir stories of his adventures when making search In thedeon wnlers of the Oeenn. lie eiv.s some sketches of w lint he saw on the Silver Hank, near Hnyti. The banks of coral on which my divlnrs were mndc arc about forty miles In length, and from ten to twenty nillis in brtiidlh. On this bank of coral Is nretcntrd tn the direr one of the mnt beautiful nnd sublime scenes llio eye ever beheld. The water rnrle front ten to one hundred feet In depth, and is so clcnr that the diver can see from two to three hundred feet, when submerged with little ob.truotlon lo the sight, The bottom of the ocean.
