Temper.-Like fire, temper, wisely controlled, is often an excellent servant; but, uncontrolled, a dan gerous master. 3iesides it mud rule or serve. Without mental power over it, sudden fits of passion often overcome prudence, justice, even love itself, the obligations of business, and the ties of lifelong friendship; while a philosopher has affirmed that every ebullition of un governable temper, every hot out burst of passion shortens one's life. Yield to the habit, and it soon be comes your daily disposition. Mas ter it, and it ceases to afflict you. He is more than thrice-armed who can be calm and self-contained when the poisoned arrows of malice or of hate pierce the most cruelly. For the inspired record declares, in language which combines counsel with prophecy: "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city." And, if Til lotson was correct when he said that "anger is a short fit of mad ness," how should all who desire to have a healthy mind in a healthy body guard themselves against the tempory insanity it creates. Back-biting.-How much of this vice there is all around us I need not attempt to estimate. So im portant, apparently, was it in the Creator's mind to condemn it that one of the Ten Commandments (the Ninth) seems primarily aimed against it; and David tells us in the Psalms that among those who are to abide in Thy tabernacle will bei found "he that backbiteth not with his tongue;" while Paul, in II Corinthians, specially denaunced envyings, strifes, and backbitings: Not only is its evil influence felt in bearing false witness directly against our absent neighbor; but in the ap petite for retailing the defamatory words of others against him. How many characters have been smirched, if not destroyed, by that oft repeated phrase, "They say ?" How many sharp and cruel arrows have caused once happy hearts to bleed upon hearing of some wicked and widely circulated calumny that a thought less friend has breathed upon the air, and thus started on its widen ing sphere of evil. Far rather cul tivate an habitual disbelief of float ing gossip and scandal. Far rather be honored, as you will be, for de fenwling the absent, and shielding those thus struck at behind their back, by a habit so appropriately called backbiting. Fretting.-I will not repeat an ar gument I made in your columns last year to prove that three-quarters of all anticipated trouble seems to be only borrowed trouble, that never came to pass. But I have alluded to this particular point to give your readers the cement of a happy fron tiersman upon that very article. Said he, as I met him, on the very outer boundary of our settlements in the Northwest: "My philosophy of life is very simple, and renders me happy as the happiest Never fret about what you ean help, but go to work and help it. Never fret about what you vin'I help, for that frettingisall thrown away." On a plane of perhaps lesser im portance may be classed the unwise habits of indolence, carelessness, thoughtlessness, etc., which grow so surely and steadily upon all who do not strive to extirpate them from their daily lives. None, except those who have tested it thoroughly, can realize how much can he acco'm plished each day by a careful sys temization of time, and a thought ful reminder of the duties to be performed. A few moments given every morning, when the mind is the clearest, to the duties of the day which lies before you, and a few more moments every evening to a retrospect of what duties have been forgotten, and thus omitted, and soon the mind accustoms itself to it, and becomes one of the wise and useful habits of life. Need I speak, in cnclusion, of the well-known fact that Nature loves correct and regular habits, and always rewards those who do not transgress herlaws. Regular hours for sleep, for meals, for business, or exercise, for recreation are her commands; and sooner or later she punishes thbse who dare to disobey them. Habits of philanthopic lib erality, of virtue, of aiding in-every good word and work, of warring on evil in its myriad forms-priceless in their value and their infuinence- how they rise in the mind as these doeing words arme written. Practice them, youner men; make them your "seecond nature," the law of your being and the rules of your ljvea Thus shall you ."Earn names that win Happy remembrance from the great and good Names that shall sink not in obliv on's flood; But, with clear music, like a church-Yell's chime, Sound through the river's sweep oi on ward rushing time." -Independent. Fun and Fancy. -A plea for old cheese-Mitt, is right. -"My dinner don't agree 'iith me," said a man to his wife, fer an extraordinary heavy meal. "I don't blame it, my dear, I saw you jawing it so hard." -"Do you enjoy good health, Zachary ' "Why, yaze, to be sure, who doesn't ?" -Quaint old Fuller says "Let him who expects one lass of society to prosper in the hi'hest degree while the other is ihi dis tress, try the experiment whether one side of his face -can smile while the other is pinched." -One of the best hits ever made at an impropriety in a lady's dress was made by Tallyrand. bnring the revolution, when asked by a lady his opinion of her dress, he replied, "it began too late and end ed too soon." -"A coffin," said an Irishman, "is the house a man lives in when he is dead." -"Do you mean to say that you can relate occurences at the time of your birth, from your own recol lection ?" The laugh which began against the witness turned upon the Judge, as the former replied: "Why, sir, I cannot exactly say that I remember every particular, but I can assure your honor I was there !" -A friend wants to know when the man who stopped up all night is going to take the plug out. -A man praising porter, says it was so excellent a beverage that it always made him fat. "I have seen the time," said an other, "when it made you lean." "When ?" asked the eulogist. "Last night, against a wall." -An old Greenland seaman could believe crocodiles shed tears, for he had seen whales blubber. -A tailor, who had made a gentlemen's coat and vest too small was ordered to take it home and let them out. Some days after, the tailor told the gentleman that his garments happening to fit a coun tryman, of his, he had let them out a shilling per week. -"Did you ever go to a military ball ? asked a lisping maid the other night of an old veteran of Jackson's army of '15. "No, my dear," growled the old soldier, "in those days I had a mili tary ball come to me-and what d'ye think? it took my leg oti" -"I believe," said a tall repre sentative from a country town, "that I am one of the tallest mem bers in the House." "YI's," added aJellow representa tive, "and one of the slimmest, also." -An old gentleman says that he is the last man in the world that would tyrannise over his daughter's affections. So long as she marries the man of his choice, he don'tcare whom she loves. "Didn't you tell me, you could hold the plough '' said a farmer to a green Irishman whom he had taken on trial, "Arrah, be aisy now !" said Pat. "Howcan I hold it, and two horses drawing it away from me. But give it to me in the barn, and be jabe's, I'll hould it with anybody !" -"Don't you think tight lacing bad for the consumption, doctor 9" asked a young lady of her physi cian. '"Not at all," mid the doctor; it is just what it feeds on." -An Irishman trying to put out a gas-light with his fingers, cried out, "Och, marther, the devil a wick's in it" -As cold weather approaches it is proper for benevolently inclined persons to present the poor with cords of wood, for their gifts will be recorded above. -An honest farmer thus writes to the chairman of an English Agricultural Society : '"Gentlemen please pat me down on your hat of cattle for a bull."

In fact, it is epected to do its duty at all times, in every plas and in sory position. A Genuine Waltham Watch will fulil all these requirements. I wound once a day, it will faithfully tick for you a hundred and twenty-six million times in a year, without even requiring fresh oil all that time.

The same watch could not be made by hand and fniasheds as perfectly for Tux TIam as scae. A Genuine waltham Watch Is ihterchangeable, like a Springfield rifle that is, any part of one Watch is exactly like the same part in another ; and if ten Watches of one grade were taken apart, and the screws, wheels, springs, &c., were mixed together, ten watches could be made by putting these parts together again, withuot any reference to their former combination. This is a GREAT ADVANTAGE; For, if any part of a Waltham Watch is injured we can always replace it at a Triling Erpense. A iENUNE WALTHAM WATCH Is made with special reference to DURABILITY Other Watches will ran for a year or two, an require constant repairs ; but A.. Walthazaa Watch WILL RUN FAITHFULLY FOR MANY YEARS.
