Aln bEA3sA s 8Ur3a11a-Our navuge rt had the pleasure of weloomiag omae ipe Pebeahe te othe er day, whtb was haded aus by a frlead rom tth eonatry. We were so prOud of them at the time wre r eased them, that we have ibrgotten whether we retaered oar thanksor not, sad thmabre they will please except them now, as it is better late than nwer. We ofeoase don't auk them to r p-t the dose, bat some people woauld so doubtL be aid to esat them now, for fear oChokler, bt we are not, so yoig eed not bold bak on that ac WPatieedlr taention is called to t dL Weiss, to be found el . ul. i d of New Advoertias~ Necessity. We call necessity the mother of in. vention, but wonder why this particu lar mother does not show some clear way for every mermber to get to the place of duty wheu they are especially demaded. " Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark ofoelestial fire, roscieue," was one of -the many maxims qWhich Washington framed or copied for his own use when at boy. " His rigid adherence to principle, his steadfast discharge of duty, his utter abandonment of self, his unreserved devotion to whatever interests were committed to his care, attest the vigil ance with which he obeyed that maxim." That spark was kept alive by him, and he made it shine forth as a star to be tollowed by all men antd all nations. He kindled itinto aflame which made glorious his whole life. No occasion was so momlentoUn, no! circumstance so minute, as to anHke him for a moment depart from the path lighted by its raes. It is a popular saying, that every young American is working with the aim that he may some day be the President of the United States. Why not adopt that same motto that led our Washington to be called the ," Father of his Conn try" as well asi ts President. We never beard of a wise, good, and useful man u ho did not have some determination of purpose- some high aim towards which he e% er strove, and which height he reached when he shone forth as one of the world's stars. Every degree of emi neonce is reached by effort: after effort being made, and none u as e, er known to shianaforth from ignorance and in action. The human intellect is o con stituted that it can only grow by its ow. u actoun auid lece will. aid 1by them it will certainly grow. Every man must educate himselt; he may have helpers, but the work is his. An educated mann has the ability to sum won, in an emergency, all his mental powers in vigorous exercise to effect his proposel object; anid it is omy he who depends upon self discipline that can do this. " No mat ever made an ill tigure who uuldtqtooat his own talaants, nor a good one who mistook them." We do a not so often fail in the pursuitP of life for lack of ability, as for waut of study Sof the power of our minds. A muder ate gilt of iutelleat, well directed, wilt - accomplish more than an iuatij.ireer I application of the most brilliant itali flcations. We should, therefor,, stuldy oure·lv'es, and aim to fild out thi average talents we possess, and b3 trying to make the best use of them, we can hartlly lan to wake a bi;od dgre in the world, and besides this we 4 shall have the consciousness oi being among those who live not in vain. r - " Sanre moments are the goklddust of time." Then let us till up the little saioeet of life with something that will " *nake its record glitter. Time is a priceless gift. of Gotd to humanity, and we should weigh well not only its r minutes but its seconds. If.. we copy after Nature's great plan, we shall Slearnt that not a moment needbe unu employed. Our duty to our Creator, the employment of our talents, and the giving of charity to those less favored than ourselves, will call for our whole life. We cannot estimate the true value of hours and minutes but we can compare it to the gather ing of particle of guold, which, when collected, become valuable. So if we expect to be the ha.ppy reapers of the truits of well-spent time, we meat tiith. fully garner and claster tiume's ulkde,, fragments. As the minute iparticles of gold-dust glitter in the sun, so shall our little acts shine forth at the crriti ny of a still Greater Power. TWe would repectfully ask of all our patrons and atvertisers to eith er come forward and pay for what they have already derived the benetit of, or even come up like men and acknowl. edge their indebtedness to the Ofihaw. Some have received the paper for two or three years and wheu alled Ulu to pay for it say they, never order ed it. Now we would advise those gentle men to come up, and reserve what little honor they have lett, and tell us they want the paper and don't intend to pay for it, or that they are not able to pay for it. andu we will send it to them free, and then it will be obtain ing it in a decent way. We also have a number of Adver tisements in our plmper and have r ceived very little satisfuctiou for pub lishiug them, and in the future we would inform our frieuds to bring along the etamp. as no advertiem-ntets will be inertedl in the Gazette unaleesa paid tor in advance. We had a notice to this ealect in once before but we have alightly varied from it. We don't ask you to take our word for it this time, but it would be advisalble for those having basiness with nus in that line, to comply with the above request for we might mesa what we say this time. SThere will be a public examias tion of the children attending the Al exandria Public School on Thursday next, the 27th inst., which will be held in the Baptist Church, commencing at 10 o'clock in the morning lpunctually. The parents of the School and the public gperaily ae invited to be Present Uncle Gabe's Shirt. The scene opens in a San Francisco Lodging House, where a lot of drivers are preparing for bed, among whom is Uncle Gabe, the genius of the crowd. Gabe's partner for the night draws the attention of the boys, by singing I out 1 Hello.

SABSONDIING VEBUVIUS DURING THE RECENT IRRUPTION -AN ENGLISHBB a MAN'S ACCOUNT OF THE GRAND SCraL S d To the Editor of the London Times : 1 ir-Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, I went out to get * carriage to go up Mount Vejvius, and on my way 1 was asked by a resfpettable lookiang man in the atsoeet it I had heard the news of the night. He then 3 told me that hutidrles of pIeople who hal gone up the night beiole to see the burning lava in the Atrio di Cavallo were dead. I had eetw the mountain at 11 o'clock thie night be fore when there was a stneam oft laYa . running :rmt the top of the cone into the Atrio-that is the mllaey between Vesuvius and the adjoining hill, thle Soluma, who-re there seemed to Iw a lake of tire. e :t:r illn t. usight there was a tre r. lo.iiaat eruptiou, a lhtege crater openl s' ing suddenly between the observatory t. and the Atrio di Cavillo, acnme the path of the visitors, it is said, of a a mile in diameter. We started irom t Na.l es at 8 o'clock. The view of the .mountain whs umagniflcient. An enlor SI moua cloud of dense white smoke was ascending to an immense height above a the mnonitain, like great fleeces of cot I ton wool, quite unlike any cloud I ,n ever saw. I could see the lava rush a ing from several openings to the right a otand above the observatory, but he. e low the cone.
