Oh ! why are we always so ready To hear what another may say, To canvass the faults of a neighbor, Forgetting our own. by the way? We know not the heart that we censure ; Be gentle, forgiving and kind One drop from the fountain of pity A wound that is bleeding may bind. A word, like an angel of mercy The sunshine of gladness may hear; May cheer a lone spirit forsaken, Or add to the weight of its care, A word ! do we think of its import? Though uttered perhaps with a smile A heart may be writhing beneath it. Or breaking with anguish the while. A word that in coIuupss is spoken May sever the friendship of years, The flowers of feeling may wither, And leave them in sorrow aiid tears. Then why should we always be ready To hear what another may say, To canvass the faults of a brother, Forgetting our own by the way? Noble Sentiment. " This is an agreea ble world, after all. If we would only bring ourselves to look at the objects that suiTOund U3 in their true light, we should see beauty where before we behell de formity, listen to harmony where before we could hear nothing but discord. To be sure, there is a great deal of anxiety and vexation to meet ; we cannot expect to sail upon a summer sea forever 5 yet if we preserve a calm eye and steady hand. we can so trim our sails and manage our helm as to avoid the quicksands, and weather the storms that threaten ship wreck. " We are members of one great family : we are all traveling the same road, and shall arrive at the saiua goal. We breathe the free air, we are subject to the same bounty, and we shall lie down on the bo som of our common mother. It is not be coming then, that brother should hate brother ; it is not proper that friend should deceive friend ; it is not right that neigh bor should injure neighbor. " We pity that man who can harbor en mity against his fellow, lie loses half the enjoyment of life ; be embitters his own existence. Let us tear from our eves the colored medium that invests every ob ject with the green hue of jealousy and suspicion ; turn a deaf ear to the tale of scandal ; brearhe the spirit of charity from our lips ; and from our hearts let the rich giishings of human kindness swell up as from a fountain, so the ' golden will become no fiction, and ihe ' island of the blessed' bloom with more than Hesperian beauty7 --'9 ArruF.ctATiNG Humor. A humorous lec turer, going to Paris, Ivy., recently sent his agent on a couple of days in advance, to smooth his way. On his arrival, the lecturer found the agent most thoroughly Bourbonized. Whether or not there is a " Bourbon among us," he had certainly been among a good deal of Bourbon. The following dialogue ensued between lec turer and agent : Lecturer "What are the prospects?" .Agent " Splen'id prospects." Leeturer ' What sort of a house do you reckon we'll have '.'" Agent" (hie) Full." Lecturer " About how full ?" - Agent Fuller 'n a tick." Lecturer '-Do you think the people here appreciate humor ?" Airent " 'Preehato humor?

A Yeau?3 Tiiocbi.e. Sometimes I com pare the troubles we have to undergo in the course of a year to a great bundle of fagots far too large for us to lift. But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. lie mercifully unties the bundles and gives us first one stick which we are able to carry to-day, and then another, which we are able to carry to-morrow, and so on. This we might easily manage if we would only take the burden appoint ed for us each dav. but we choose to in crease our troubles over again to-day, and adding to-morrow's burden to our load be fore we are required to bear it. No ns. A bankrupt merchant returned home one night and said to his wife. " My dear, I am ruined ; everything we have is in the hands of tiio Sheriff." After a few moments of silence his noble wife looked him firmly in the face and said : " Wiil the Sheriff sell yon ?"' " No." Will lie sell me'.'" " No, no."

The Lord Mayor of London, a Jew. ruling over a Christian city ; King Leopold II., of Commons ; and the Catholics of Ireland banqueting the Quaker John Bright. a Tv- Cutnors Scot.

Etliics of Svumliing. Rascality seems to be the only perennial thin in ihe world. Virtue has its ups and downs : disappears for a season, and then, at the universal call of mankind, is gener ous and forgiving enough to come back again ; truth and justice are resorted to by distracted and despairing society, as the passengers of a foundered ship betake themselves to life-preservers ; but there is no question about it half mankind love to cheat, and the other half find an equal though evanescent satisfaction in being cheated. It isn't our infantile confidence in each other which is so sad ; the mourn ful matter is our fatal confidence in our selves our over-estimate of the profundi ty of our own perceptions ; our belief that Mercury himself could not cokii us. While ve think we stand, we stumble : while we feel armed at all points against fraud, we are continently reduced to a stale of roast-pigeon brownness : a3 every man must eat his peck of refuse, so every man must expect to have some other man come it over him" in that one fatal sec ond when he is oil his guard. How should it be otherwise when all the power and dignity and grandeur of Government itself cannot save it from voracious sharpers, and there is a, howl in all the public of fices over "whiskey frauds'" with the con comitants of private stills, mendacious brands, unfaithful inspectors, and liquor fatal to the bowels of the toughest drink er ; frauds upon the income-tax, by which some wicked person undervalues bis re sources, and for the truth of his lying statement appeals to his Creator until he is sable of countenance : and the fine old venerable Custom-House frauds backed up by antique and staple perjuries? Bui; all this seems to be dull aud stale in compari son with the brilliant exploits of the Jere my Diddlers of private life, like this gen tleman, for instance, of whom we are about to speak, who lately reduced to a state of disconsolate discouragement, the too confiding citizens of St. Joseph. lie was a colonel. They are always colonels, or majors, or captains, or military mag nates of some degree, starting with the meek virtue of Capt. John Gilpin, and end ing as unscrupulous IMnaldo Kinaldinis. In an evil hour the great Col. Brantley (regiment unknown), appeared "in St. Joseph ; began install tly to speculate in real estate with pluck and enterprise atid evrumng except money; eaued upon bewildered men of substance to indorse for him. and straightway they did indorse; called upon other men of substance i"y dis count the notes, and forthwith th.'y dis counted them, until, having made abouj; thirt y thousand dollars bv tne ex-.-rcjse hiri y thousand dollars bv tne ex-.-rcjse of his genius, he disappeared like the vision of a dream. cut stick," as tiie phrase is.

The Colonel, albeit swift footed, was caught and carried back again and caged, and ultimately, we presume, will be convicted. Now. if we may be allowed a bull, the rarity of such cases is in their frequency. I)e Foe might have dressed up such a stale story, and made it fresh and present able ; a newspaper can do no more than give the naked outlines. The boners are such a numerous company, darting away from every point of the compass, by rail, by steamboat, in their own vehicles, on foot, that a public journal can oniy pre sent their exploits iu outline and leave the rest to the imagination ol the gentle read er. We can give a general wail over that fatal confidence of man in man which it would please us better to find less gener ally and less successfully practiced upon by the designing. Confidence mr.y. iu the happy, primeval times, have been a plant of slow growth ; but in this wicked cen- iurv. ny a kind of practical oarauox. it springs up and increases, and spreads like the gourd of Jonah. Does a man an nounce the discovery of some miraculous tincture, with a novel name and a nasty taste, and warranted to banish pain and prolong existence? He is believed, and armies of valetudinarians swallow his mix ture without a cough. Voa can hardly open a newspaper without finding appeals to the poor and needy to put. down two dollars and take up twenty ihou-aad. in numerable are the devices resorted to by the foxes to persuade the geese th.it some thing can come of nothing. Alas ! it is al ways coming. The business cf half man kind is to set traps for the other moity. It may be supposed, having made men tion of the mischief just now so active and so widely-spread, that, we have some rem edy to 'propose ; but we have no inclina tion ourselves to indulge in the charlatan ry which we condemn " Keep your eyes p'eeled, is a .rude but useful maxim, for those who are capable of that kind of otitic:! 1 ti i vhv : and there are oilier like proverbs widen are loo popiuar to nee d tuiotaUoti.

The San Francisco Tones some weeks since had a leader deprecating the policy of the press discussing the fitness of men who are candidates for office, and urging that so far as the newspapers are con cerned the politicians should be allowed to make their own fight for the nomina tions, and. that done it was the duty ef the Union press to help elect them. This is a detestable doctrine, and one which, if car ried to its results, would put the Govern ments of the State and Nation into the hands of the profligate and worthless. The man whose antecedents will not bear discussing before nomination had better not be a candidate. That policy then ad vocated would favor only the evil doers and cause able, faith fa!, upright men to abandon the filthy pool," for in very truth it Would then be abominably so. In deed it was on its very face so obnoxious that the Tijues could not long tolerate it, lor that journal in a later issue strikes out i?i the opposite direction and comes up to the work fully and fairly thus : "It is totally absurd to say that bad men can be safely trusted with power, un der the pretext of carrying out good prin ciples or measures. All reliances upon the promises of the bad. and the pledges of polUiciansmerely.aro as unsabs'iamialas chalf as senseless as the idiot s dream.

When fierce political partisavis. in their scramble for oCiee. cry out measures, not men. as the watchwoid by which they expect to rally the hosts of freedom to iheir support. and as the passport by whi profiigale and unorincipled iue most e to ride into power over the honest-minded men, it is the duty of the people to chock such madne'is. and repudiate the demagogues, whether thev have been nominate;! by do eepUon in respectable conventions, or forced upon the party by frauds at the p r i ru ary elec t ion. 7 Strike then at improper men before they receive the nomination, and thus save the party the disgrace of having them as stan dard bearers, aud the country from the evil consequences that would surely flow from their success.

Wo scarcely need recommend ail the town to go and see him ; if any body comes away disappointed it will be at the shortness of ejuertammcnt.

A lec- e tare before the Britisii Association on the results of spectrum analysis, as applied to the heavenly bodies, by William Iluggms. F. R. S., lately published, concludes as follows : 1. All the brighter stars, at least, have a structure analogous to that of the sun. 2. The stars contain material elements common to the 'sun and earth. 3. The colors of Ihe stars have their or igin in the chemical constitution of the at- mo-paeres wiuen mjitouuu tnera. 4. The changes in brightness of some of the variable stars are attended with changes in the lines of absorption of their spec ire. .". The phenomena of the star in Corona appear to show that in this object at least great physical changes ? re in operation. i. There exist in the heavens true uebalx. These objects consist of lumin ous gas. The material cf comets very snui- lar to me matter ot tne gaseous neouue. and may be identical with it. 8. The bright points of the star clusters may not be in nil cases slurs of the same ortu as the separate bngnt stars. it may be asked what cosmic: of the origin and- relations of tho heavenly bodies do thcs-e new facts suggest? - It won la oe speculate, out it appc to me that u would v.oc be p-Titosootncal to dogmatise at present on a subject of which we know so little.
