From the north, where & palace of crystals I have,

If he ppbfce of it, and took no notice of the

my philosopher to have no farther acquaint¬

ing, faultfinding disposition, and ts-ke the 
same resolution of av lining the acquaintance 
of those infected with it, I therefore advise 
these critical, querelous, discontented, unhap¬ 
py people, that if they wish to be respected 
and beloved by others, and hsppy in them¬ 
selves, they should leave off looking at the ug¬ 
ly leg.

HAPPINESS AND MISERY; 
OR, THE HANDSOME AND DEFORMED LEG. 
When we go out on Sunday afternoon to 
moralize and see tbe new bouses, we usually 
take our young ones by Alladin’s Palace.— 
Alladin started life by swopping jack knives; 
then putting the halves of broken marbles to¬ 
gether and passing them off es whole ones. 
When be had gathered some brass be went to 
scheol all the summer to learn the golden rule 
of arithmetic—addition for himself and sub¬ 
traction for his neighbor. 
At an early age Aladdin was considered to 
be good at a bargain, which meant that he 
could always succeed in changing a worse for 
a better—always keeping the biind eye of a 
horse to the wall when he had to se 1 it, and 
looking right at it when he bought it; and 
the village said that certainly Alladin would 
succeed. When he left, “he will be rich,” 
said the village, with mors approval than it 
would say, “ he will be generous and true.”— 
To Alladin the world was but a market in 
which to buy cheap and sell dear. For him 
there was no beauty, no history, no piety, no 
heroism. Yainly the stars shown over him, 
vainly the south wind blew. In the wake of 
the great ship Argo, in which Jason and his 
companions sailed for the Golden Fleece; 
over the gleaming Mediterranean, where the 
ships of Tyre, Rome, and of the Crusaders had 
been before him ; through tbe pillars of Her¬ 
cules through which sailed Columbus to find 
fame in a new world, now sails Alladin to 
find fortune. To him all lands are a,ike. No 
Homer sung for him in the ./Egean ; he only 
curses the wind that will not blow him to 
BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. 
There ore two sorls of people in the world, 
who, with equal degrees of health and wealth 
in the world, and the other comforts of life, 
beceme the one happy, the other miserable.— 
This arises very much from the different views 
in which they consider thirgs, persons, and 
events ; and the iffct 0: those different views 
upon their own minds. 
In whatever situation men can be placed, 
th<y may find conveniences and inconvenien¬ 
ces ; in whatever company, they may find 
per hi - is and conversation more or less pleas- 
;i p ; at whatever labie, they may meet with 
meats and drinks of better and worse taste, 
dishes better and worse dressed ; in whatever 
climate, they will find good and bad weather; 
under whatever government, they may find 
good and bad laws, and good and bad admin¬ 
istration of those laws ; in whatever poem or 
work of genius, they may see faults and beau¬ 
ties ; in almost every face, and every person, 
they may discover fine features and defects, 
good and bad qualities. 
Under these circumstances, the two sorts of 
people above-mentioned fix their attention; 
these who are disposed to be happy, on the 
conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of 
conversation, the well-dressed dishes, the good¬ 
ness of the wiries, the fine weather, etc., and 
erj iy all with cheerfulness. 'Those who are 
to be unhappy, speak and think only of con¬ 
traries. 
Hence, they are continually discontented 
themselves, and by their remarks sour the 
pleasures of society, cflend personally many 
people, and make themselves everywhere dis¬ 
agreeable. If this turn of mil d was fourded 
in nature, such unhappy persons would be the 
more to be pitied. But as tbe disposition to 
criticise and be disgusted is, perhaps, taken 
up or ginally by imi-ation, and is, unawares, 
grown into a habit, which, though at present 
strong, may, nevertheless, be cured, when 
those who have it are convinced of its bad 
effects on their felicity, I hope this little sd 
monition may be of sirvice to them, and put 
them on changing a habit, which, though in 
the exercise it is chiefly an a3t of imagina¬ 
tion, jet has serious consequences in life, as it 
.brii gs on real grief and misfortunes. 
For, as many are offended by, and nobody 
loves this sort of people, no one shows them 
mere than the most common civilDy and re¬ 
spect, and scarcely that; ard this frequently 
puis them out of humor, and draws them into 
dispWes and contentions. If they aim at ob¬ 
taining some advantage in rat k or fortune, 
nobody wishes them success, or will stir a 
s'ep, or speak a word, to favor their pre’en- 
siocs. If they incur public censure or dis¬ 
grace no one will deftDd or excuse, and many 
join to aggravate their misconduct, and ren¬ 
der them comple e’y odi:us. 
If these people will not charge this bed 
habit, and condescend to be pleased with wbat 
is pleasing, without irettirg themselves and 
ot hers about the contraries, it is good f< r oth¬ 
ers to avoid an acqnain'atce with them ; 
which is always disagreeable, and 6omet,im:s 
very inconvenient, especially when one finds 
ones self entangled in their quarrels. 
An o’d philosophical friend of mice wss 
grown, from expeiierce, very cautious in this 
particular, and carefully avoided any intima¬ 
cy wiih such people. He had, like o'her 
plfloBO pliers, a thermometer to show him the 
heat of tbe weather ; end a barometer to 
mark when it was likely to prove good or bad; 
but there being no insirument invented to 
di cover, at first sight, this ucpleasirg dispo¬ 
sition in a person, he, lor that purpose, made 
use of his legs—one o‘" which was remarka¬ 
bly hardiome, the other, by some accident, 
crooked and deformed. If a stranger, at the 
Odessa. No Syrens sing for him, but he 
loves the huge oath of the lively boatswain. 
With a Bible in bis hand and a quid of to 
bacco in his mouth, he goes about the holy 
places in Jerusalem and “calcinates” their 
exact site. He sees tbe lard of Raineses and 
the Ptolemies ; and the reverend records of 
the Lybian desert, svbo-e echoes have slum¬ 
bered since they were trampled over by Alex¬ 
ander’s army, are now awakened by the shrill 
whistle of Old Dan Tucker. He insults the 
Grand Lama, hobnobs with the Great Mogul, 
turns his back upon Emperors, and takes a 
pinch out of the Pope’s snuff box. He chews 
with the Arabs, smokes opium with the 
Turks, and rides for a bride with the Calmuek 
Tartars. 
Alladin comes home again, aud the admir¬ 
ing village points him out to the yourger 
generation as a successful man: “ My son, 
look at him ; he began with nothing, and now 
see.” “ My son” does see, and beholds him 
owning a million of dollars—of all societies 
of which he is not president a director. Ilis 
came is good as gold. He has bought pic¬ 
tures and statues. He has also bought a Mrs. 
AUadin end housed her in luxury, but he 
pricks his mouth with a silver fork. He has 
a home for a poet, but he makes his boast 
that he reads nothing but the newspaper.— 
Hr gees to church twice on Sundays, and 
only wakes up when tbe preacher denounces 
the sinners of Sodom and Gomorrah and 
those “ tough old Jews” of Jerusalem. 11 is 
bead is. bald and shiny with the sermon 
which have hit it and glanced off. He clasps 
his hands in prayer, but forgets to open them 
when the poor-box is passed around ; and he 
goes home like a successful man, thanking 
God that he is not a3 other men are, and after 
he sits before the fire in his easy chair, and 
lights a large cigar, aid looks languidly at 
Mrs. Alladin through the thick smoke. 
Bye-acd bye old Alladin dies. The con¬ 
ventional virtues are told over as the mourn¬ 
ing carriages are called out. The papers re¬ 
gret that they are called upon to deplore the 
los 3 of a reverend parent, generous friend, pub¬ 
lic-spirited citizen and picas man. Then the 
precocious swapper of jack knives and the 
mocel set up to the young generation is laid 
in the dust. Above his grave the stars he 
never saw, now burn with a soft lustre which 
no lamps about a king’s tomb can emulate ; 
and the south wind, tor whose breath upon 
his hot brow he was never grateiul, strewed 
his last bed with anemonies and violets that 
his heel crushed in living; and we, vho are 
to be formed on that model, carelessly re¬ 
mark, as we stir our toddies, “ So o’d Alladin 
has gone at last, and, bye-the bye, how much 
did he leave ?” 
Ill Luck —A little had luck is beneficial 
now and then. If Patrick Henry had not 
fai ed in the grocery business, it is not at all 
probable that he would ever have been heard 
of cs an orator. He might have become csl- 
e wa'ed, but it would not have been from his 
eloquence, but the great wealth he acquired 
by a speculation in bar soap and axe handles. 
Roger Sherman became a signer of the Decla¬ 
ration of Independence for no other reason 
than that he could not make a living at shoe 
making. He cut bristles and staked his “ all” 
on the “rights of man.” The consequence 
was, that the same individual who found it 
bootless to make shoes, in a few years became 
a living power in our revolution. 
Some ten years ago we were sitting by a 
brisk pine fire in our humble sanctum of a 
Sunday’s eve, when a servant entered leading 
a beautiful chi d of some six or sever. sum¬ 
mers, quite neatly and jauntily dressed, as is 
most appropriate for these buds of creation. 
Our attention was immediately attracted to 
the lovely creature holding in her hand a 
magnificent boquet., whien at that period cf 
the reason seemed to us a curiosity indeed. 
Never had we seen a more perfect gem from 
Nature’s mine than this emanation of a deep, 
myeterious handicraft. The flowers in her 
tiny hand were reflected upon her fair round 
cheek and finely-formed forehead, her eyes 
were of that dazzling brilliancy that belongs 
to healthy childhood, and her movements soft 
and elastic as n fawn in the springtime of a 
southern clinic 
B ushing, but with the countenance of in¬ 
nocence and truth, the little creature advanc¬ 
ed anfl presented us with her rich gift, utter¬ 
ing a few laudatory words that found their 
way, with the quickness of the electric fluid, 
to the chamber of the heart. She thanked us 
for some lines dedicated to the memory of her 
father, hastily thrown off in the hurry of the 
moment at tbe solicitation of a worthy friend 
of the honored deceased, and left us to most 
pleasurable emotions and reflections tinged 
with the re.ilibow hues of imagination. 
It is a principle of our nature — and a re¬ 
deeming one, we may say— to love children ; 
for, considered in any light, they present the 
only evidence we have of that perfectability 
which we are told i3 reserved for human des¬ 
tiny. They are flowers with a shade too cir¬ 
cumscribed for the coil of the Serpent of Evil; 
they are tbij diamonds of truth that blazon 
tbe dark pathways of Sin and Sorrow, as the 
slars relieve an inky sky ; and we confess to 
a feeling for them, up to a certain age, which 
is intense, affording us the most valued plea¬ 
sure we call obtain in a weary pilgrimage. 
We would.'indeed, at any time, give up any 
society for the gratification of converse with 
a child whete mind was just developing the 
occult signs of God’s decree—so pure, fresh, 
suggestive and pleasing—that we wonder not 
at the beautiful admonition of the Saviour of 
m an—“ Suiter little children to come unto 
me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 
We know not whether the quotation be cor¬ 
rect, for, wo say it in sorrow, our knowledge 
of sucred whitings is most limited indeed. 
Years parsed away, and we saw our little 
protege frequently. She had a mind of rare 
power, quick perceptions, and that versatility 
of intellect which we do not regard as fortu¬ 
nate in its possessor, although it is attractive 
and highly prized. She was a healthy, beau¬ 
teous plant, full of promise. In the whirl of 
a thousand cares and troubles we partially 
lost sight of her for a cons derable time, and 
when our attention was again called to our 
pet, “ Little Nannie,” we had the mortifica¬ 
tion of learning and discovering that the 
bright intellect of childhood had paled its fires 
at the command of disease. The insidious 
worm had entered the ripening fruit upon the 
tree and worked its way to the rich core.— 
Her mind, once so vivacious and winning, 
was in the dark gloom of insanity. We turn¬ 
ed away from the wreck as the mariner does 
from his ocean bride, a favorite bark, going 
down to the coral caverns of the deep, and 
offered up a prayer in our heart that if it 
were impossible to reinstate her health—to 
restore the brightness of the jewel — she 
might soon be called by the Almighty to join 
the immacula’e creatures who pace the realms 
by seraphs trod, and constitute the ornaments 
ot Paradise. 
A few days ago, in a far distant portion of 
the parish, and in the turmoil of political 
strife, we learn that the stricken sufferer was 
summoned home. Cur favorite, “ Little 
Nannie,” had breathed her last. Thetidirgs 
were quite acceptable, although they disturb¬ 
ed for a moment the almost congealed and 
sealed waters of the soul, and filled the ejes 
of one “albeit unused to the melting mood.” 
We were thankful that Omnipotence had in¬ 
tervened, and that cetbroned Reason had 
closed her last account. 'The blighted flower 
wa 3 placed beside its parents to know that 
blossoming that passeth not away when the 
earth and all things thereon shall be covered 
with the pall of eternal gloom. 
Good-by, little friend—meek, gentle, suffer¬ 
ing Nannie. There was poison in the cup of 
life for thee—no floweri, but thorns upon ihy 
miniature path—eternal thorns. The oracles 
of Fate proclaimed that Earth should be thy 
best mother, aud she hi.s thee new in her cold 
embrace. The seal of Eiernity is upon the 
past, but the future is before thee, poor pe¬ 
trel npon an unknown sea, and we know if 
Divine Revelation be true, it will be to thee 
br ght and beautiful. The last rose of sum¬ 
mer has scattered its haves to an autumnal 
tomb, and the branch* of the forest, once 
robed in green, wear now a livery ot gold ; 
but the rejuvenating spring time will return, 
and the lilies will staid sentinel upon thy 
■ small, m.-dest tenement. Then wo may pass 
by and pause for a moment on that holy hiil 
—on God’s Acre, as the old Saxon writers 
forcibly refer to the Republic of the Dead— 
but if we fail in this, wi will command a fa¬ 
vorite bird 'neath our w:ndow which appears 
to be commissioned for pood, to go where the 
clods cf the mountain rest upon thee, and 
chirp a requiem soft an! enchanting as the 
music heard by shepherds who were watching 
the advent of tho Princo of Peace. Good-

This paper, published by our friend Moore, of Roches¬ 
ter, N. Y., is deservedly the most popular agricultural, 
literary, aud family paper extant. It is made so by the in¬ 
domitable tact and energy of its proprietor, together with 
a most liberal and enlightened policy shown through it* 
whole management. We delight to say thus much of en¬ 
terprise and worth. Tho paper is advertised on our third 
page to which we direct tho attention of the render for 
particulars. We have met also, with the following, which 
wo claim the privilege of presenting, as pretty and pleasant 
poetry, as well as good and correct description : 
THE RURAL. 
When wintry winds are sweeping by 
And Farmers round the ingle hie, 
What paper most delights the eye 
Aud dissipates dull ennui ? 
Tho Rural. 
When Nature has withdrawn her smile, 
And tears usurped its place awhile, 
From whence the solace free from guile 
That soon the heart doth reconcile ? 
The Rural. 
When merry Holidays arc here— 
That joyous season of the year, 
Of pastimes, sports and hearty cheer— 
What adds its mite for readers dear ? 
The Rural. 
When jests and riddles pass around. 
And young and old with mirth abound, 
Where can amusements rare be found, 
What page Enigmas dark expound ? 
The Rural. 
When clouded o’er the brow with care, 
And gloomy shadows hover there, 
What soothes and softens dark despair 
And brightens Home with cheerful air ? 
The Rural. 
What speaks alike to grave aud gay-, 
In sober prose and merry lay— 
Warns Youth from Virture ne’er to stray, 
But ever walk iu Wisdom’s way ? 
The Rural. 
What seeks to counsel all aright. 
Gives Truth and Justice special might, 
Applauds and honors schemes upright ? 
But o’er deception casts a blight ? 
The Rural. 
When spring returns with vernal sliow’rR, 
And maidens sigh jor vine-clad bow'rs, 
What whispers then, “ Improve life’s hours, 
And learn to cultivate sweet flow’rs ?” 
The Rural. 
When seed-time comes, with busy round 
Of sowing grain and tilling ground, 
What gives advice with logic sound, 
And tells of implements renown'd ? 
The Rural. 
What has for all its chosen theme, 
Domestic peace and lover’s dream, 
Makes Matron’s duties lightsome seem, 
Contentment o’er the hearth-stone beam ? 
The Rural. 
Long may the “ Model Paper” reign 1 
Its noble standard e’er maintain— 
Successful be its new campaign, 
Aud may all friends of Worth sustain

How to Propose. —A few nights back a 
small party of ladies and gentlemen were 
laughing over the supposed awkwardness at¬ 
tending a declaration of love, when a gentle¬ 
man remarked that if ever he offered himself 
he would do it iu a collected aud business-like 
manner. “ For instance,” he continued, ad¬ 
dressing himself to a lady present, “ I would 
say, Miss S-, 1 have been two years look¬ 
ing for a wife. I am in the receipt of a 
thousand dollars a year from my business, 
which is daily on the increase. Of all the la¬ 
dies of my acquaintance, I admire you the 
most; indeed 1 love you. and would gladly 
make you my wife.” “ You flatter me by 
jour preference,” good humoredly replied 
Mis3 S-, to the surprise of all present: “ I 
refer you to my father.” “ Bravo I” exclaim¬ 
ed the gentlemen. “ Well, I declare,” said 
the ladies in chorus. The lady and gentle¬ 
man, good reader, were married soon alter.— 
Wasn't that a modest way of “ coming to the 
point,” and a lady-like method of taking a 
man at his word ? 
Young Amurioa. —While President Pierce 
was standing near the hotel at which he had 
taken rooms, says the Charlottesville Rs 
publican, of a recent date, a little chap of a 
few summers, finding his hat band unbuckled, 
went up to the President and accosted him : 
“Fix my hat-band, sir.” “What is your 
name?” said the President. ‘ De Bree.”— 
“Do you know me?” “ Yes, you are the 
President,” said young America; “ fix my 
hat band.” The President fixed his bat 
hand. aLd thep young America went to his 
play, contented and happy that he, too, was 
the President’s “ peer.”

An Every-day Moral —The law may be 
compared to a street fight, at tbe end of 
which it is discovered that the coats of the 
combatants are miesirg. Tte fact is, the 
lawyers, whilst their clients were pommelling 
one another, have quietly walked off with the j 
spoil. 
Good Humor. —Keep in good humor. It 
is not great calamities thatemoitter existence ; 
it is tte petty vexations, ihe small jealousies, 
the little disappointments, the “ minor mise¬ 
ries,” that make the heart heavy aud the tem¬ 
per sour. Don’t let them. 
A Dutchman describes New Yorkers es 
“ berry fine peeples, who go about der streets 
schsating each eder, and dey call that pizzi- 
nets.”
