Aim High.
Yes, aim high. In every, department of
labor and learning thoro is a summit of
crowning excellence; a goal to bo reached,
a hill to ascend. Toil up; surmount diffi
culties ; grapplo with dangers ; overcome
obstacles; how much moro delightful to
stand on tho top of tho mountain, and bathe
in tho full, freo, dcliciqus upper air of hea
ven; behold all around the beautiful habita
tions of men, art and nature locked sweetly
hand in hand; tho smiling loveliness of out
spread fields ; tho solemn valleys ; tho flash
ing rivulets, tho circling lulls, tho dark,
haunted forest, end beyond that, tho great
ten, in tho calmness of its majesty, n heaven
smiling into heaven, than to stand delving
in tho shadow at its base, your vition

Aim high, and succeed. Tliero is no need
of failing, if resolve fixes upon tho good in
now, energy leads tho way, and pcrsevo
'rauco backs them both up.
Itesolvo is like tho lightning ; it flashes,
and a thousand leaturcs aro revealed ; en
ergy is tho thunder that ecals determination
with a mighty and resounding "yea! it

forthwith it is bright with blooming verduro,
Liko tho man who stands on a giddy pre
cipice turn your gazo down, and you aro

duced by fair looking uchemes, and tho

'ing along a plain called mediocrity; their
bands unstayed, i no mirror or tho past is
always beforo them upon tho wall of me
mory it hangs, and-ns thoy look they drag
along with a moro unsteady aim ; for thoy
behold all their errors too late. Silver
hairs, frail as thov ore, bar the door of pro
cress ; tho old, old man cannot beuiu life
nnow, and tho young man who flits about
from object to object, because the sun shines
a little brighter here, or tho prospect is a

Tiiu Iron Mam'1'.uti'ui: or tiii:
Would. Tho London .Morning Chronicle
says tho manufacture of iron in thu world
is divided as follows :
In Great Hritain, 2.3S0, 000 tons; 1'ni.
ted State.", -100,000; France, 3U,000; Kits,
sia, 1S0.000; Austria, 100,000; Sweden,
132,500 ; Prussia, 1 12,000 ; making a total
of 3,723,300 tons of iron manufactured an
nually. In 1850, there wcro -150 iron fur
naces in Great Hritain, and of the 2.3S0,
000 tons which these produced, about M)u
000 wero exported. In 171W but 12.1,000
tons wcro manufactured in (treat Hritnin.
and tho total exports wero about -10S tons.
During tho ten mouth ending Nov. .1, 1S53,
Great Hritain exported 873,000,000 worth
of iron, and by far the largest portion of
mis enormous mass or exports was taken
by the United States. Of pig iron the I'ni
tcd States received 57.000 tons, ami Hol
land, which comes next upo.t thu list, took
isiahhj. ui bar, holt, anil rod iron, the
United States took 203,530 tons, or nearly
six time as much ns Canada, which re
ccived the next largest amount.
Population or Gkkat Huixmn. The
census of Great llritain, ordered in 1S.1I.
has ot length been completed and arranged
in order lor publication. Thu population
is over twenty-ono millions. In 1601 it
was less than eleven millions, so that it has
nearly doubled In fifty years. Tho feeling
with regard to tho empire- is that it has nl-
ad v reached about its heiidit in nopula
tion. rhu present rage for emigration
would show it. Tho present population
iresent tano for emigration I
gives 233 persons to every sauaro mile, and
would allow ii 1-7 acres ol tana to eacn
person. London has n population ot ,.io,-
li30 almost as many as tho whole of Scot
land. Liverpool has 3u,'.)j.r; Ulasgow,
329,007; Manchester, including Salford,
101,320. Half of the inhabitants of tho
kingdom is contained in 61.1 towns. Tho
wholo number of islands around Great llri
tain is 175. Tho excess of females over
males is given at .11.1,301.
Natubal Ijaws. TIio lato census do-
vcloped many curious facts. In regard to
tho numerical laws whicn govern me sexes.
It showed that thcro am moro males than
females born, by about four tier cent.; nt
twenty years of ago thoro arc moro females
than males ; nt forty years tho balance is
again in favor of the males; and at tho age
of three-score years and ten, tho numbers
of the sexes aro about even. lieyond this
age, tho probabilities of longovity nromuch
greater in favor of women than of men.
At tho timo of tho taking of tho census,
there wcro -130 American women nbovc
100 years of ogo.

ment may bo made by a judicious Kolootion
of seeds. In almost nil crops, some plants
will bo found moro early, or in Homo re
spects superior to others, From such,
seeds bIiouIiI bo carefully selected.
If a cultivator desires to havo nuy pro
duction vmller than usual, after procuring
nu early kind, let the lirst seeds that ripen
on n well grown and productive plant, bo
secured, and so proceed year ntler year,
and in this wav ft variety will bo obtained
that will excel in earliuess.
Every variety of vegetable may bo ren
dered iiioro productive, by selecting every
year the seeds of the most productive and
well formed plants. And this method of
improvement will be the cheapest no doubt
that can bo pursued, as tho dill'orcnco in tho
cost of good and poor seed is a mem trifle.
Select peas for need, that grow in long,
full pod', on vines that bear abundantly,
nnd if you would havo them earlier, take
those which ripen first. Choose beans in
the same ty Select seed corn from
stalk that bear two or moro gooil ears,
and take the largest and best formed oar.
Choose from stalks that are largo at tho
bottom, and run oil' to -i small top, not very
high.
If you would havo early unions, and n
few scullions, select for seed a few that ri
K'ii first, and havo ti good. form. Select
the handsomest turnips for beed, having just
the form you would choose, if you would
have line crops for tho market ; and by this
selection, for years, you will got a nrioty
that may bo relied on.
Follow tho same rule in everything. Like
produces like, is a general law of nature ;
the same in tho vegetable and animal king
