W O STOXBD STKHHKK ?—A teach er in a Sunday sepool in B——, was examining a class, of little tioys from S O I A S O S In nearly every community, there is a commendable spirit at work that prompts the adoption of the various plaps of social enjoyment and social |n tercourso. Each season has thus its amusements -in which sociality arid good feeling gain ground, and those enjoying the benefits, are much the better and wiser from association. W love, as must all who. regard the happiness of our race, these scenes of enjoyment. The summer brings,.-.tits P»° nics, where humor.'wnVand frolic, harmless and enlivening, reign equal mojutrchs of the hour. Beneath the cool shade of forest trees, the spir it is at liberty, and men and women, boys and girls, can feel enjoyment, that not only enlightens the present, but makes the future more endurable. Autumn has its strolls, aud gipsey par ties, all over the land sewing circles in town and country, presents another source of social amusement And winter is not destitute of its entertain ments. Lyceums then put forth afresh. Debrting societies start into new life. Lecturers, to be great men, here make their first attempts in.the world of let ters, and here many a genius is devel oped, which in after years, when wis dom has ripened, and experience has taught her useful lessons, shall hold spell-bound admiring thousands. W might if we would, take any popular lecturer, debater, or statesman, now before the country, and trace his ca reerj through its various phases, baek to his first essa^ in the debating socie ty. If then minds can be trained by such processes, if these associations are the starting points of genius, why should they riot be general and exten ded? There should be such an or ganization in every town and village in our land. Political and literary distinc tion is so easy of attainment, in this land, that he who aspires to, may fill the highest stations. The son of the artizan, may. stand side by side with the pampered child of luxury, in the legislative halls. Talent oftener than wealth, carries men to the pinnacle of fame, and keeps them there. Let us then have these preparatory schools, where culture of the mind and social all olasses. jg^r^f*^ boasts fel&e world, What well-advued ear regards What earth can say Thy words are gold, but thy rewards Are {minted clay Thy cunning can but pack the cards, Thou canst not play I'hy game at weakest still thou vy'td If seen, and limn revy'd, deny'at: Thou art not what thouseem'st false world, thou ly'st. Thy tinsol bosom seems a mint Of new roin'd treasure paradise, that has no slint, No change, no measure How much of nieftmngr, of refine ment, aye, of Chiistinnity itself, there is in those little incidental attentions and politenesses which go a great way in making up the, beauty ot life. But this work, after all, lies with every mother in the land—in the w*rld, and we can only hope, that these hints may influence some to consider it. SHAKING HANDS. a Scripture catechism.

This is frequently the fault of a coarse grained nature, "but pet hips, most often the result of early education. Indeed we always think a man's man ners are the living epistle, "known and read of all men," of his mothers train ing. Habitual politeness can only make a thorough gentleman—a woman a true lady. If a boy be respectful and courteous to his sisters, he will be so to all women as long as he live* bufi if his intercourse with them be coarse, careless and abrubt, hot sof tened and refined by a thousand name less httje attentions and graces, he will be rough awkward—not fulfilling al ways tbe beautiful injunction of the apostle, be courteous to all men."— Then too outward refinement, infln #nces and softens the inward charac ter for it is a law of our being that expression. intensifies the emotions and feelings." .^-nt.---i, HISTORICAL ii 1 SOCIETY •1 E N I The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a mam is the hu man owl, vigilant in darkness,, and blind toJight. mousingforvermin and never" seizing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two cfa*s ef—vpenly bad, and secretly bad. AH virtue aud generosity and 'disinterest edness nre merely the appearance of good bat selfish at the bottom. He holds that no man does a good thino except for profit. The effect of his conversation upon your feelings-is to chill and sear them to send you awav sour and morose. His criticisms and lnnendocs fall indiscriminately upon every loving thing, like frost upon flow ers. If a man is said to be pure and chaste, he will answer yes in the day time- If a woman is pronounced vir tuous, he will reply—yes on Sundays. Mr. —has joined the church— Certainly the elections are coming on. The minister of the. gospel is called an example of diligence—ft is his trade. Such a man is generous—of other men's mtney. That man is obliging—to lull siisjneion and (6 cheat yoa. This man is upright—because he is gree». Thus his eye strains out every good quality, and takes in only the bad. To him religion is hypocrisy honesty a prepa ration for fraud virtue, only want of opportunity and undeniable purity, asceticism. The livelong day he will coolly sit with sneering Hp*-uttering sharp speeches in the quietest manner, and in polished phrase, transfixing eve ry character which is presented. His words are softer than oil yet they are drawn sworels. MOMENTS AND MEN. There are moments when the heart strings vibrate with a touch of pain but the morrow brightly dawning, brings their natural tones' again. Then forgetful of their sorrow, how' the trembler bounds with joy, never heed ing its past lesson—nothing can its hopes destroy. What a blessing is thus given, that although some care awhile, may intrude upon our lightness, soon returns a brighter smile! Man can rouse him from' depression shake .the torpor from hi* heart, and with I W Stranja the mature in our natures, as an ieffer or a searcher it would seem as if J8s making, were half tear, lialf[giiUa percha. Now he nietts at some sad story, told by earth's unhappy wretches, or more lofty in his ideas, onl with the feeling stretches. !,V"«doy v» Hies to and dare: mounts volcanoes, Sees the crater, conquers empires, splits a hair: drives the iron steed in har ness, over, miles of railroad track: runs a cable through the ocean guides tin steamer, steers the smack: carries war and devastation through a rich and mighty land: carves his name in List ing letters: traces it, as well, in sand: ears .the forest, smooths tne moun tain, levels gray aud ancient hills: checks the rapid flow of rivers, makes them work all sort* of mills: buys and sells, and trades and barters, poor to morrow, rich to day: stumbling dark ly in the shadow, running in the light of day: changing ever, restless always, but a manniKin at best: pulled aiid worked by. circumstances, 'till then comes a nnafrest.. On the whole, we may conclude that man is something of a character. A CALIFOUMA. WIDOW.—Captain Saltwater says his first essay to effect a matrimonial character, resulted in a manner so discouraging that he don't believe he'll ever.be induced to try it over again. The captain being out of service for some months, conceived a (ndy Who cannot feel assion for a rather mysterious young boarding at the same hotel." Says the Captain, I conveyed her round the shops, shows, balls, theatres, churches, and every other place of amusement and information, and at last, when I readiest sign of volnniary courtesy or thought things had gone about far forgiveness, and its non-compliance the most civil yet meaning of repulses.

Not as the noble lion comes upon his prey, but as the wolf, stealing insiduously, by tery and fawnimr, or as the set besliming its victim with its haf saliva. A hjnjt is sufficient jj^ manv instances to do the work of destruction Ail inuendo has before nbw crushed ft Fseait, where only holy impulses and pure thought's existed.t A wink or a shrug of the shoulder or an ambig# ous toss of the head have given Re pressions of fearful import.

Still there may be some mis take, though her infoinant iss one who never has made an error in judge ment. Or they will say "Miss D. toll* mj that Miss C. infonwd her that Miss. F. is of the opinion, that Miss G. thinks that Mr. II. has lately re ceived some very curious looking let ters which are supposed to have cotee from a young lady in the village. In fact Miss I. was seen to drop a number of them in the post." Iltader do you know the result? Fair names aiv slandered, puro intentions are dis torted intocrimes,geulIo natureshruis ed, and hopes destroyed by this, per nicious agent of eviL Were we a law maker, if human ingenuity could de vise a punishment at all commensu rate with the crime, not long should the busy body exert their baneful, in fluence.

Why no it? Why com pelle to the of a dun Why not that littl thorn out of your finger at once? It will fester if allowed to remain, and cause ten times the trouble. Why* not re lieve the conscience of that little loaciV You will feel the better for it by ..50 doing. You con ractedlhe debt letmw ingly and willingly. Did you not mean to pay it? Certainly you did. TIJOJ. why not do it at once? Every dtn's delay increases morally the "amomit of the obligation. Remember, too, that your little debt and a thousn::' other men's little debts, make a li'ii fortune for your creditor or they en able him to pay his larger debts, or feed his workmen and keep his ma chinery a-going in times like those.— Don't yon s.e 1 ow it, i??—You do?
