It has often been ( acknowledged that precipitation of c thought, as well as of speech. entails i very fatal consciiences; and that the m1an who, through life, can wisely steer clear of this double inconvenience, de serves the aplpel'ation of happy. lie I thinks, an-1 thinks again, before he lets I his tongue mingle in the flow of conver- I sation, and consults his inmost self ere j lhe ventures to decide. i1e has also I learned by experience, that Nature has its mask, Scietce its obscurities, the 4 World its artifices, and Merit its ene iies ail, lie consequently never deter mines, without having first deeply searched into the matter. Ile lifts the veil that unfolds each object, and dis. covers that it woubl be madness to Judge to) harshil v aid at first sight. What would the result be, if we trusted to outr eyes only? W' ", the SlwlidI be prontllteed tili aroul the C rth, instead of' th atter eneireling the orb of dav. The prejudiices of a single nind can easily be destroyed; but wheii they have been reduced into I egular systems, and found their way into social circles i Formed to accredit thmcn, there is no CONSOLATION FoR Gi -IUS.- Let no man, who is in anythilg above his fel lows, claim, as of right, to be valued or uderstood: the vulgar great are com pelhended or adored, because they are in reality in the same moral plane with those who admire; but he who deserves the higher reverence, must hiiself'con vert the worshipper.-The pure and loftv lif: the generous and tender use of" h 1 ''re'ative faculty; the brave I ndurance I %"nle ct and tidiciule: the s':2:.' aud c.2(lId of :11mu ; si oui att mucih vi lue-t hm a.e t,... lessons by N N 'o; syipatieS ffl'm. kind must be interested, and L iAcia. ties educated, up to the love of such ,a character and the comprehension of such an intellirence.

A Gallant Soldier.--At the funer I honors paid to Worth, Duncan and xates, John Van Buren delivered an ration, in which he related the follow ig anecdotes of the former: 'While General Scott was under harges by order of General Jackson, nd a court of inquiry was investigating tis conduct in Florida, a party of gen lemen met in this city, and after dinner he conversation turned upon the sub ect of Scott's services. Worth, indig tant at the proceeding, was describing he part which Scott took in the battle >f N iagara. He said that Scott's brig ide were advancing, towards evening, inmler the cover of a wood, froni which hey were to deploy into the o.en field ; Scott had already had one horse shot inder him, and, as the column were leploying, his second horse fell, and he )eceame entnu:gled inder it. The col nurn wavered, and Worth, then his youngest aid, rushing to his assistance, lisiounted. and tendered him his horse, saying, 'General, can you mount, the louini falters for a leader?' Scott immediately mounted, and riding to the head of the column, cried out, 'Advance Imn! tlhe night's our own," and Worth ,_llowed Scott, as his aid on foot. A t this monent a discharge of' grape from a single cannon prostrated Scott, the horse which lie rode, and his aid, Worth. Scott and Worth were inmediatelv carried to the rear, Scott seriously, and Worth, as it was supposed, mortal. ly wouided. Attention was, of course, first paid to the commanding officer. After sonic time a decp groan was heard, apparently from the adjoining tent, and Scott, with that forgetfulness of himself whiic' distinguishes him on such occasions, begged the surgcon to repair to the quarter whence the sound pre :da attend, as he said, to poor \Wrth, wh%, anust be dyirt!.' In. stead of thhi, as W.-Irth conclud-d.'th cry 0 a,;e.V proceeded from ml faith full dyh~lo charger, who ad mantaged to drag lhmself uponi three legs to the edge of my tent, where he had lain down to die.' Pausing for a moment, while there was hardl' a dry eye in the company, he added -'I beg your par don, gentlemen, I find that, in defend illg Gci. Scott I have been incidentally led to describe my own service.' THE SwE:TNESS OF loME.--I1t who has no home has not the sweet pleasure of lire; lie feels not the thous :anid endearments that cluster around tha: hallowed spot to fill the void of his aching hear-t, ald wile awayI his leis iue meomIents in the sweCetest of life's j is isfortune your lot. you will find a friendly welcome from hearts heatin.; true to your own. The chosen 'artiner of your toil has a nile of ap probation w\hen otheis have deserted, a hand to help hen all iothers refuse, and a heart to feel your sorrows as her own. Pcihaps a smoiling cherub. with pIattling glee and joyous laugh. wifi drive all sorrow from your care-worn brow, and enclese it in the wreatis of d. miestic bliss. ..NP) matter how hiumie tie huome s, ,Twn sa iufas hoa "oorly its inma tes are clad.: if true hcarts Nwell thetre, it is yet a home-a cheer oh, prudenut wife, obedient aind affection ite chihlfren, will give their p~ossessor moire re al joy than bags of gold and vinidv honior. fThe home of a tempierate, indlustri mus, ho nest man, will be his greatest joy. 1 Ie conmes to it "weary anid worin," mut the sound of the merry laugh and 1ipp v~ oice of chilhieood cheers him; a lbu but healthful meal awaits him.

A new death-dealing weapon In th0 shape of a Rifle has just been -brought out. in New York: that besides its more legit@-' imate uses amongsportsmcn, miast teller. war still further itnpracticable, i is known asJennings' Patent Rifle, is d signed to be an almost endless ripeater'j and to avoid the great diifficulty of cap r piig and priming each load, and also toa be uncommonly free from dirt, added 't which is a force we have never 'eed eqnalled. The Journal or CommerceR says its appearance and weight does ryh ditler front the common gun-except that. it has at iron breech with a wooden stock, By a simple contrivance within thi.4 stock, the breech pin of'tle barrel Isopeu. ed as the gun is cocked. A cartridge id placed in this opening, and on pulling the trigger, the pin closes the barrel tiglt, a sutrg block of-steel fulls behind it, and - tie gut primes itselfand is discharged# all at one motion. It is so simple that it can hardly by any accident get out of or der. It is capable of being loaded at the breech as often as it is fired off, and as rae pidly as a man's hand can move to throw iin a cartridge. This is at tite rate of 12 shots per minute, fbr a person who lies practised with the gun. Another variety of the same gun isnpw nearly completed by the patertees, in which the ramrod is a tube of the same size, capal:e or containing 24 cartridges, which areso arranged that they are placed in the barrel one by one, and fired suc cessively without any interruption.-The monient that the 24th ball is fired, Nthi gun may be used as the first one, loaded ut the breech. Bitt tite chiefstrength or this formidable weapon rests on the cartridge which is used, and for which, indeed, the gun it expressly manufactured. Thiscartridge which is also patented, is simply a Tonded hall. A hollow cone of lead. or rather i bullet elongated on one side in a hollow cvlinder to about one inch in length, it filled with powder, and the cnd..cbered with a thin - piece of cork. throfgi the cent re of whuch is a small hole1gb atdwit aw fr' the pinning. Thte.retecation which te. q.i dIr.s.i - 1O0 ess dirsim thirn everything else cuntelted'titiv. the gun. At forty rods the balls were buried more than four inches in the body of a live butternut tree. The printing is in small pills, of which 100 are placed in a box, from which tlt "gut supplies itself without fail. MORE INVENTIONS FOR K ILLINd.-MO sicur Vandenberg of Brussels, has ntt'er ted a new gun, said to be far better tha the famous Prussian fireneedlo gut From six to eight discharges can I.e madi* in a mit!te; the carrying distanc(. is fren 2000 to 2300 feet; the ball weig! AU0. qL one ounce nnl a quart-er, and th p owdO u' is a'one twelfth th xe w i, of 1:!; bull. An ;udinary gun requires three times icro powder, although t. bl.1 does 1",o weigh halft an ounce. The new gun is land. a from the breech. The shape of tile .i is round, not conical as in the Prussiatr "un. It is not consoling to think that f muxtch ingenuity is spet by men in de - sing means to kill cach other, but if inci n% ill fa.ht let them be assured that the : ,j,, their lives.
