A PRACTICAL, SlKJUlisnOX.
In any public scheme or project, it
is advisable that tho proposer or pro
jector should not at first present him
self to the public as the sole mover in
the affair. His neighbors will not like
his egotism, if it be at all ambitious,
nor will they willingly co-operate in
anything that may place an equal a
single step above their own heads.
Dr. Franklin was the first projector
of many useful institutions iu the in
fant state of America. lie attained
his object, and avoided envy, for he.
himself, in forms us that bis secret was
to propose tho measure first, not as
originating in himself alone, but as a
joint recommendation of a lew friends.
The doctor was no stranger to the
workings of the human heart; for if
his measures bad failed, their failure
would not bo attributed to him alone,
and if they succeeded, some one (dsn
woultl bo forward enough to claim
the merit of being the lirst planner of i
them. Cut whenever this happens, j
the original projector will be sure to j
gain from the envy of mankind that j
justice which ho must not expect from
their gratitude; for all the rest of the
members will not patiently see anoth
er run away with the merit of that
plan which originated in the first pro
jector alone, who will, therefore, be
sure to reap his full due of praise iu
tho end, and with that interest which
mankind will always cheerfully pay,
not so much for the justice of reward
ing the diffident, as for the pleasure of
lowering the vain.
THE ART OF PLEASING.
A modest and virtuous young man
0:1 lirst going into society, is apt to be
sorely perplexed upon the question,
how to make himself agreeable wilh
the ladies. He need not be ashamed
of his perplexity. Washington Ir
ving, in one ofhis early sketches, con-
Jesses that a well-dressed lady was an
ouiec peue a.u. .u uIO
r. , . i.. r. .1'
.imagination. c were onceacquain
ted with a gentleman of distinction in
public life, the father of several ac
complished daughters, who could not,
oven to his fiftieth year, enter a drawing-room,
when ladies were present,
.without-painful embarrassment. It
is certainly a good sign in h young
man to stand in some awe of the
beautiful sex. A perron of course
and vulgar mind, who thinks more of
himself than his best friends think of
him, and who knows littlo of the worth
of a good woman's heart, rushes fear
lessly in where an Irving or an Addi
son would fear to tread.
IIow well we remember a little in
cident of our early days, w hich helped
iis to overcome our bashful dread of
4he society of ladies ! Seated by the
side of a beautiful girl of seventeen,
and overwhelmed with a conscious
ness of our inability to say anything
to her which she would care to hear,
we chanced to observe that she, too,
was trembling with embarrassment.
What a comforting discovery ! We
felt as a coward feels when he finds
that his enemy is more terror-stricken
than himself. Addressing ourselfu
to the task of diverting our fair ac
quaintance, we soon forgot our own
fears in sympathy wilh Le rs. Hear
this in mind, young gentlemen, who
blush ahd stammer in the company of
ladies : The girls are as much afraid
of you as you are of them I
You are awkward in your manners,
yon think. If you think so, it islikely
that your fair friends think otherwise;
for the really ill-bred fellows that we
have known have never suspected
their ill-breeding. AnJ, after nil,
what is good-breeding lut habitual
goodnature? Tho simples fact that
you wish to please is a proof that you
possess, or will noon acquire, tho pow
er to do so. Tho good heurt and well
informed mind will soon give grace to
the demeanor, or will so abundantly
atone for it, that its absence will nev
er be noticed.
Besides, the girls that is, the most
of them like a man who is simplo in
his manners, provided they gee that
there is substance and'worth in him.
Graceful manners and ready wit nre
good so far. Hut be sure of tlji, (.),
bashful, blushing youth, that you will
pa.ss in the long run for what you are
worthno more no less. The Art
of Pleasing, therefore, is nothing more
than tin; art of becoming an honest,
kind, intelligent, ami high minded man.

father poor and unable to give you an !

count of nil this. Take earnest bold
of life, and never regard yourself in
tiny oilier liht than that of being des
tined to ti high and noble purpose.
Si udy closely tho bent of your own j
mind for labor or a profession. What
ever you resolve upon, do it early;
follow it steadily and untiringly; never
look backward to what you have en
countered, but ;il ways forward to what
is within your j,rasp. The world

kitchen corps had an altogether ilill'er
cut idea of things.
"Oil!" saiil Amy, laughing, "I made
them myself."
'Did you!" He looked at her half
amused. "I did not know ladies ever
employed themselves so nowia'days."
"I am a capital cook," said Amy.

and her delicate figure arrayed in lus

peeping from beneath seemed fit only
to tread tho roses of life. She hardly

"Hut she ought to bo moro regular."
said he.
" I can't help that. I wish you
would not trouble mc about such
things."
Tho tone was ix littlo pettish, as
Clara brushed away her brown curls,
ami resumed her book, and Maynard
relapsed into silence again.
Presently another idea struck him.
" Can't you play something to-night,
Clara! The piano has not been open
ed in an age. Come, sing me some of
the old ballads."
" 1 can't said she listlessly. "I'm
out of practice entirely. Do let 1110
read."
"If you will lay aside your book ni
ter dinner mid have a good old-fashioned
evening of talk and music and
gossip."
"Impossible. I am engaged for
every moment after seven tho opera
first, and then the fancy ball."
"Couldn't you let go fur ono even
ing.7" "Oli no! it would never do!"
He was silent but there was a dul I
dead pain at his heart some void
which art could never fill.
The silent dinner over, she went
forth 111 her shining robes, with pearls
iu her hair and bracelets clasping her
arms to an evening of reckless dissipa
tion and gavely, with smiles for the
beau lunatic, but not. one for home.
While Maynard, after a long, gloo
my revery by his lonely fireside, took
his hat and went away to the Cluh,
that brilliant, place of gayely and
mirth, through whose chundcliercd
portals so many a loot has trod the

She'll regret it sonic day no doubt

Such is the reasoning, and such are

Attention, --Whenever persons vis
it n printing oflico they ought to keep
tlreir handfi off everytlilng In it. . Tho
other day some ono came up Into our
oflico, and instoad of looking without
interfering, commenced fooling with
the press, on which was a form of typo,
and ruined' a pairof points, besides
a considerable amount of type. The
loss is all to us, and ought to learn
such pestiferous persons to let alone
things about which they know nothing.,
The following is too good to be lost,
oven if it is a hit at principles some
greatly revere :
Know-Notiiinuism. The editor of &
Georgia puper overheard tho follow
ing conversation on the the re-opening
of tho slave trade :
"Clem, I'se tell you, if dey gwine to
'deavors to fetch dem 'imported nig
gers oberdis way, which 1 hoar dey
be, dare'll be a fuss in do family sure.
Spect dey want us to 'asociato wid
dem niggers on 'quality, Neberdoit
sure."
"Sam, dus you raly think dy'llfotch
dem niggers here"
"For sartin, Clem I heard massa
say dare was five thousand 'ported
Soul', in Candida, and half of dem now
ready in dis State. I tell you, Clem,
if one of deni forin, nat'ulied niggers
calu'lates to 'sociato wid dis chic, he is
hoiu ilc wrong patch. Somethin will
bit him like tv mule kicked him for
sartin, and it wont't be dal unimule
filer!"
Too Mi on and too LriTi.fi. Not
withstanding the experience of ages
and generations, all going to prove
that the great fault of man in his uni
versal tendency to either under-do or
over-tb), tho hardest Ihing in the world
is, still moderation. It does seem
as il we could not learn that 'enough'
was 'as good as a feast,' and that ev
ery excess must be compensated by a
re;iction.
There has long been a great cry
that sedentary habits were ruinously
unwholesome as no doubt they are,
where a man sits tit bis desk ten hours
per diem, year in and year out, and
rides to and from business. IJut tho
French physiologists who, by tho
way, are tho greatest statisticians in
the world tell us, that the shortest
lived class is that which perforins
manual labor, and those professions or
trades that rnpiiro the least bodily
exertion have many more veterans
than others. There nre few persons
who are compelled to be sedentary in
habit more than editors, yet they av
erage, ns a class, a very IV' r lease of
life while hod-carriers, builders, etc.,
only exist about thirty yeais.
The gymnasium is a source of infi
nite mischief to our youth. Properly
used, it is of immense value; but as
too frequently is tho case, it docs in
calculable harm. The performance
of dillicult and laborious muscular
feats should not be attempted twice
or thrice a week by young men who
have little exercise generally, for it is
inevitably straining to tho glandular
system, and too exciting to the nerves.
We have seen pale, studious boys go
from a college class-room to their
dumb-bells aud vaulting-horses, and
after an hour of exercise, return still
paler, trembling in every limb, and

ercise can do no good; and, on the con
trary, must do no harm.
If the training gone through with
iu sucli places were very gradual; and
continued for a short time only every
day, under teachers who understood
anatomy and physiology practically
it would be all that vvc could desire.
As it is, however, it is very apt to bo
the "too much," that is quite as bad as
and often worse than the "too little,"
that it is intended to counterbalance
! The body and tho man are so intimate
ly and curiously connected with each
other that too great care cannot be
taken in developing either, lest the
oth"r should stiller.
Fluency op SrEr.cu The common
fluency of epeech in men and womoti
is owing (says Swill) to a scarcity of
words; for whoever is master of lan
guage, and hath a mind lull of ideas
will be apt in speaking lo hesitate up,
on the choice of both; whereas com
mon speakers have only one set of
ideas, will he apt in speaking to hcsi.
