To deepen his friend's regard for him a man strives to heighten his merits and multiply his achievements. Love adorns itself that it may win its meed. One desires to appear beautiful, heroic, "wise, divine to his friend. To gether wccairdo what Ave should never have dared, arid . endure what would have crushed us alone. , "Our hands in one, we will not shrink FromT fe's severest due; Oar hands in one, wo will not blink That terrible and true; What each would feel a stunning b'ow, Falls on us both as autumn snow." The fortifying and motive power of friendship is varied, immense, and in exhaustible. It has strengthened patriots to lay their lives on the altar of freedom and their country. It3 glowmg cordon was around lell, and Furst, and Arnold, and their compeers on the field of Grutli, when breast to breast, in the shadow of the Swiss Alps, swore to free the canton from Austrian thralldom, or die together. It has encouraged philosophers, poets, artists, inventors, in their rejected teachings and unappreciated labors. The description, by his great disciple, of the last moments of the poisoned sage, in his prison, amid a group of admiring friends, is an illustrative picture, whose colors fade not in the sun of Athens, and which the world will never let perish. The public career of the great-soulcd Gracchus plainly owed its chief impulse to the ardent, evcr-aimr.ating friendship of Laius JJIosius. lhis communing en thusiasm still sustains the true and good when evil days como and the per secutions of evil men prevail. Now that the dark eves of Hungary are lull oi tears, and the pale features of Italv fixed m despair, and trouble sits on tho majestic visage of England, and a usurper lords it in the Tuillcries, its electric chain, drawn by. a common cause around Ivossuth, Mazzini, Hugo, and their brother exiles a connect link fastened to each heart vibrates shocks of lijdit andstrensth into their bosoms.. It has ever been while humanity remains in man it ever will be companionship to the captive, wealth to the poor, impulse to the struggling, support to the suffering, solace to the wretched, jo to the pros perous, and to all who deeply know it, an inspiring presence through life, and in death a hope full of immortality. But before all subordinate calcula tions of service the inestimable, primary use and worth of friendship arc in the spontaneous royalty and delights of its own prerogative and fruit r. We prize our friend last for what he docs for us, first for what he is to us. Darius, holding an open pomegranate in his hand, and being asked what it was of which he would 'wish a number equal to the seeds thereof, replied by glanc ing at tho favorite who leaned against the throne, and pronouncing the plural of his name, "Zopyruses." Zopyrus succeeded in taking the hostile city of Babylon for his master, but was wound ed and badly disfigured in the enter- prise, uanus saitl, "I would not have had Zopyrus maimed to gain a hun dred lsabylons. While friendship is valuable for its ofEccs, letus not forget that it is invaluable for itself. It is tho .choicest exercise of our best powers. After all is said, "a friend is the masterpiece of nature," and en joyment of him the chief ingredient m the purest happiness of the world. How ol ten have we felt that our days would be filled and run over with un speakable peace and satisfaction, if we could but realize as complete a friend ship as wc dreamed of in the reveries of the heart, and languished for when listening, afloat, in the wizard sphere of music! Is it not so with all: Can not everyone sympathise with the spirit, of the young Arab a - reply to King Cyrus: His horse had won the victory for him in a great race, and Cyrus asked if he would sell him for a kingdom. The youth, fondly stroking the beloved barb's neck with his cheek, answered, "No, -but I would give him with all my heartto find a true friend." Though we were in paradise, yet it were not good to be there deserted and alone. As some one has said, incriti ci.m of Zimmerman, even in those peculiar seasons when solitude is sweet, "still let me have a friend to whom LET G3 ALL THE AHCH02S. There are some very good people who will not sustain this or that be nevolent enterprise i)f the Church, be cause they regard it as less important than some other. They will not do any thing for foreign missions, because they think .our own ; country should first be evangelized."' They will not sustain church extension, because they deem the education of the ministry a paramount-. duty, lhey withhold sup port from the -superannuated servants of God, because thev -csnxrinc it will do more good to scatter abroad tracts and books.; 1 "' Such Christians would do well to imitate the skillful mariner, whose ship the fierce winds are dashing on a lee shore. He lets go all anchors. If the kedge will not hold the best bower may. If both these fail the sheet anchor mav arrest the drifting vessel. If no one of these alone will suffice they altogether may save his life. So it is with the benevolent enterprises of our Church. They are all needed. Th'ey brace and stay each other in the great work of arresting souls drift ing to ruin, and anchoring them safe by the throne of God Each may be instrumental in saving some who would be lost if it were wanting. Every church edifice erected tends to raise up missionaries and colporteurs and theological students. Every chbrh freed from debt is enabled to contri bute more liberally for the support of all that is good. Grain must be treated like infants; when the head bends it must be cradled; and thrashing is resorted . to, to fit it for use. Tares are most found with the smaller grains which require sowing. Great indulgence in fruit is danger ous and too free a use of melons pro duces a meloncolic effect. Old maids are fond of pairs but cannot endure any reference to dates. Sailors are attached to bays; oyster- men to beeches; love-sick maidens, to pine. Yankee Jo(ion8.k , , . ,'. - . PATIENCE WITH CHTLDBEIL One of the requisites for the suc cessful training of children at home, or in the school-room, is "patience." Every teacher, whether the mother or a hireling, will find her labors made easy by the constant exercise of this cardinal virtue. If they "let patience have its perfect work" in their own hearts, it will be visible in .all their conduct, and exert a salutary influence upon the minds of the young, in whose future well-being they feel ' a deep interest. : There may be hours when, perplex ed with care and ; worn out with undue labor, the mother may feel the risings of impatience in her heart; but nip it in the bud, before the fruits become visible in acts of which she may after in house in writes his sits nuietlv down i . ; the north-west r n sermons, which ( '..ly c pulpit into a bat a: 1 every Sabbath by a n.c .1 t!.: . ,-! storm. - Private as pctilcncc r :.;:,:. another, five-years later, into Lond:r., and his wild cry, lonely, at first, as that of John's in the desert, at last startles the press, the Parliament, the country without, the throne within, and it is felt that one man has conquered tho two millions.

At East Manville, on Grand river, some twenty miles below Grand Rapids, Michigan, lives a family by the name of Hopkins and here, m the posses sion of an aged lady, niece of General Ethan Allen, is his sword. Aware, savs our informant, who saw it two years since, that the leaders of the revolutionary struggle were often selected for their weight and metal, as well as other military accomplishments, wc were not surprised to find their arms of a similar temper. The sword m question was without ornament, and might be a hundred years old by its appearance; very. heavy, with an iron hilt, on which is engraved in rude characters, as if (Tut with a jack knife, the name "Ethan Allen;" the blade, long, straight and single-edged, in the style of the Damascus steel. Though the strong rust spots were word or hasty blow be given in anger, lest the rembrance of it should prove a poisoned arrow to their bleeding heart, when those loving eyes are closed in death, and the head which nestles on her bosom is pillowed in the grave. Children are won by kind words; but cross looks and harsh tones deter them from seeking our sympathy or giving us their confidence. The mother or teacher should regard the sports of childhood as a blessing, join in their innocent amusements, and draw from thence some useful lesson for their future consideration. They should learn to look up to her as a friend ' in whom they could confide, who will bear patiently with their childish follies, and in kindness seek to improve whatever may be amiss in their manners or morals. But should they turn a deaf ear to her teachings, and scorn her instruc tions, seeming inclined to follow the evil promptings of a sinful and perverse heart, she has then need of a double portion of patience to support her in - j A western poet, says the Knicker I : c: c "-rcscd the following in just c.r..i L:::;-ly rr "Connecticut clock.

The term vegetable sometimes pro nounced wegetable is probably de rived from the peculiar long and pointed form of this description of esculents, hence originally called wedgceatables, then wegetables, and now refined into the present term. Annual flowering plants resemble whales, as they come up to blow. Jb lowers are very warlike in their disposition, and are ever armed with pistils. As the human family, the lower portion of all plants arc radicles. They arc migratory in their habits, for wherever they may winter, thev are sure to leave in the spring; moyt'of them very polite and full of booths. Like dandies, the coating of many trees is their most valuable portion. Cork trees and boot trees for instance. Grain and seeds are not considered dangerous except when about to shoot. Several trees, like watch dogs, are valued mostly for their bark. A little bark will make a rope, but it takes a large pile of wood to make a cord. ' Though there are no vegetable beaux there are a number of spruce tree3. Most trees are respectable, but a variety of locusses may be found among them. It is considered only right and pro per to ax trees before you fell them. Fruit trees have military character istics; when, young they are trained; . MOSSES ON BOCKS. ' I never had time to examine and throw into classes the varieties of .the mosses which grow on the two kinds of rock, nor have I been able to ascer tain whether there are really numerous differences between the species, or whether they only grow more luxun antly on the crystallines than on the coherents. But this is certain, that on the broken rocks of the foreground I in the crystalline groups, the mosses seem to set themselves conscntiully and deliberately to the task of pro lucing the most exquisite harmonies of color in their power. They will not conceal the form of the rock, but will gather over it in little brown mosses, like small cushions of velvet made of mixed threads of dark ruby silk and gold, rounded over more sub provided ne would devote his tunc seriously to their interest, he declined, making tho reply, so often praised for its disinterestedness, "I will not give up the country and the lazy reading of old folios for two thousand times two thousand pounds. In short, beyond three hundred and fifty pounds a year, I consider money a real evil." . . . . "lazy reading of folios" led to laziness, the indolent gratification of mind and sense. Degenerating into an opium eater, and a mere purposeless theorizer, Coleridge wasted time, talents, and health; came to depend, in old age, on the charity of others; and died, at last, with every one regretting even his friends that he had done nothing worthy of his genius. The world is full of men having Coleridge's faults, without Coleridge's abilities; men who can not, or will not, sec beyond the present;' who arc too lazy to work for more than a temporary subsistence; and who squander, in pleasure or idle ness, energy and health which ought to lay up a capital for old age. Most persons, who arc guilty of this neglect, instead of asserting, a3 they think, their independence, only betray how strong a hold indolence or sensual gratification has upon them. Better, far better, had Coleridge worked when he was young, than lived to be what he became, a dependent, if not a begger.

One man enters, thirty-four ycars-ago, the western metropolis of" Scotland, THE ANNUAL AMOUNT OF HEAT. It is a remarkable fact, that countries lying within " the samo degrees of latitude differ greatly in the ranges of their temperature. On the west coast of Europe the wintcr3 are com paratively warm and the summers equally cool, while on the eastern coasts of America the reverse of this is true. Thus, in countries lying 16 degrees further north in western Europe than New York, the average temperature in January ;3 30 degrees, and that of July 60 degrees a rane of only 30 degrees. In New York the range of variation often amounts to nearly 100 degrees. In January last, the thermometer. in New York, stood from 5 to 7 degrees below zero, for some days; while it ranged from 95 to 93 degrees above it, for some days last week. But although the ranges of temperature differ greatly in different countries, the actual amount of heat, annually, is according to tho position of countries in relation of the poles of the equator. In Europe, by long observation, it has been found that the mean temper ature of a place remains nearly the same. The. winter may be unusually cold, and the summer unusually hot, while the mean temperature has not varied one degree; a very cold winter is generally succeeded by a very warm summer, and vica versa. This has also been found to be the case with our own climate the relative distribution of heat over summer and winter under goes comparatively small variations. A cold winter is generally succeeded by a warm summer. We have noticed an exception, and only one, to this rule; that was the summer of 1836, which was wet and cold, and succeed ed a very long ami C3ld winter.
