What . r: fcaari., we ith tue power r -!ii3 infidel. : exception, refew of the lite.- it may be well to el ;'T,r advantages of beic,; 1. We conform io ike Scripture. If St. Paul taught politeness, by bis ex ample so Jid he in Iiis writings. He tells us, "In honor we must prefer one another." Here is the great secret of Doliteness; namely, fonretfulnes of self. In another place he says, "Be courteous," in other words be polite. 2. We make friends. Nothing so wins upon strangers as true politeness. A little attention, shown in a stage, or in the cars, or at a public table, costs us very little. But what an effect it has upon the persons to whom the at tion is shown ! The pleased look, the grateful smile, show us we have gained a friend. 3. We increase our usefulness. One reason why ministers and good Chris tian people have no more influence, is on account of their sour face and lor bidding countenance. They look as if they said Keep away from me. But if they allow the vulgar to approach within reach of theirmaiestic presence, there is a pompous manner or way they have, which prevents the hearts of others going out to them, and thus in fluence over such people is lost. 4. It mves success. .Let any man who has goods to sell, or office to at tain, be kind and polite, no sham like that put on by the politicians and his goods are sold and his office reached, ten times sooner , than "tho ra?.H-Tf ho CUXS, of 11-. its r. iZ 13 not saying too iauch, is tremendous. - As Sydney Smith said of Daniel H eb- ster, "he was a steam-engine in trowsers," so we say of the really- genuine polite man he, too, is a steam- engine his power, in his particular sphere, is wonderful. He, other things being anything like equal, will accom plish good in the world. , , . PEESESVE IT.

'Boston' and 'Fashion' race on Lang Island, and as it is generally the case at such a time there was a queer crowd on the train, arid the conductor exper ienced considerable difficulty, in col lecting his fare. In the - motley mass was a seedy looking Dutchman1, who took a seat in front of us, and we no ticed as the collector of the tickets and the 'rino approached, he twisted iikuuL uneasily, and looked particularly nervous. At length the dreaded mo- 0 ney taker stood confronting him. "Fare, sir,' said he. extending his palm.' . . "Didn't I pait you before ?" answer ed Hans, with a' wretched eifort to look surprised. "No, yoi didnt paid me before. Come, fork over." "Yell den, I'spose Ipays you agin," said the Dutchman. "I doesn't vant no troubles about," and he continued feeling in his pockets. After much fumbling he pulled out a suspicious looking Spanish dollar and handed it over. "Look here my fine fellow" said the conductor, rubbing his thumb over the coin, "that won't do with me ! you must pass off y oar bogus money on somebody greener. . "Vot ist de matter," queried the Dutchman, as he took the com back "The matter is," said the conductor, beginning to get impatient, "that your money is bad, and you must pay or get out ot tin car. "Mein Gott," exclaimed Hans, "ef dat ish a pad toller, ten de tarn rascal on de track sheat me for I pet him mit a toller, and I vins, he gif me dat vust as I vas git into de cars." "Well," said the conductor, "if you bet a dollar with a man and you won and he paid you just a3 you were get ting into the cars, you have not had no chance to spend any money since, and so you must have the dollar you bet with him hand over. "Oh, vas !" and the Dutchman's iaw i r. ' ; o u u i i-.zi. vu.i yr.s. . it.;. i 1. j l.. , j. ( . . re? r 1 : 7 Nature Provides for All. So various are the appetites of animals, that there is scarcely a plant which is not chosen by some and left untouched by others. The horse gives up the hemlock to the goat; the cow give3 up the long leaved water hemlock to the sheep; the goat gives up the monk's hood to the horse, &c, for that which some animals grow fat upon, others abhor as poison. Hence, no plant is absolutely poisonous, but only respect ively. Thus the spurge, which is so noxious to man, is a most wholesome nourishment to, the catterpillar. That animals may not destroy themselves for want of knowing this law, each of them is guarded by such a delicacy of taste and smell, that they can easily distinguish what 13 pernicious from what 13 wholesome ; and when it hap pens that different animals live upon the same plants, as the mouths of all are not equally adapted to lay hold of the grass, by which mean3 there is food for all. To this mav be referred an economical experiment well known to the Dutch, that when eight cows have been in pasture, and can no long er get nourishment, two horses will do there very well for some days ; when nothing is left for the horses, four sheep will live upon it. ANECDOTE OF DS. GELL- Some eighty years ogo a very zeal ou3 professor of religion, in one of .t . T 1 T 3 ii- TV f'M the sects in lvngiana, went to xji, vjni, and told him she had something against him, and she considered it her duty to reDrove him. 'Well, my good lady said he, 'what is the difficulty T r ,tTi -i , t 1 1 - hy, sir, 1 tninKy9ur oanu aru wuw long 'Ah ! do you ? I have never thought anything about it ; I will get a pair of scissors, and will thank yoa to cut off as much a3 you think best. She replied,- 'I hope you will not be offended.'

Look again and see ; perhaps" you had better cut off a little more while you are about it, and be satisfied 'I do not know but I had; I think they are still rathtn long;' and she cut off a second piece, saying, 'there, I think that will do ... Well. my friend said the Doctor, 'I must now tell you that l have some thing against you?. . . 'Have you, sir;' she cxclaimedv?hat is it? ". " 'I think vour tongue is rather too long, and you had better let me cut a piece a Ten TSAE2. The total cost of the fur3 imported hi3 year into the country was 2,023, 000 more by some S400.000" than ast year. Many of these furs are the skins of American animals, killed here, sent to Germany, and sold at the im mense annual sales held at Frankfort: They are thus distributed through France, Prussia, Germany, and Eng land, where they are dre.s?ed, and re turned to this country but in such a shape that their original owners cer tainly would not know them, xere theyj alive. The furs receive, in addition, very fanciful names during their so-! journ in Europe; thus the"' common! j "mi.,a , u.ti j. yi. i hide of a tortoise shell grimalkin be comes transformed into "Golden Co ney." Prairie Wolf gets transformed into "Siberian Bear." Linx become real "Russian Martin," &c, kc. The tricks m the fur trade are perhaps as extensive a3 in any other; for example, almost any lady purchasing a Lynx muff would have nothing but a natural colored black one; she would not want it dyed at all; now, when it is consider ed that a Hack Lynx is perhaps a greater curiosity than a "white crow," it would strike one at ones that thr dealer must be "selling his customers as well as his merchandize, when he is disposing of "Natural Black Lynx muffs." The Loss of a Wife. In compari son with the loss of a wife, all other bereavements are .trifling. ; The wife ! the who fills so large a space in the domestic heaven ; she who busied her self so unweariedly for the precious ones around her ; bitter, bitter is the tear that falls upon her cold clay ! You stand beside her coffin and think of the. past. It seems an amber-colored pathway, where the sun shone on beautiful flowers, and the stars hung glittering overhead, Fain would the soul linger there no thorns are re membered save those your hands may unwillingly have rhr.tcd; Her no;'!?. t::der l.c:.rt lie.-: :: cr. t czr ir.ir.C:';: :e::ii.; . U , I. . A . . . 1 ; t 1 "v ' 1 lain upon your bdsora rests in the still darkness upon a pillow of clay. The hamls that have ministered so untir ingly are folded, white and cold, be neath the gloomy portals. The heart whose every beat measured an eternity of love lies under your feet. The flow ers she bent over in smiles bend now above her in tears, shaking the dew from their petals, that the verdure around her may be kept green and beautiful. A Last Look. There is a feeling that resembles death in the last glance we are ever to bestow cn a loved object. The girl you have treasured in your secret heart, as she passes by on her wedding day, it may be happy and blissful, lifts" up her laughing eyes the symbol of her own light heart and leaves :n that look, darkness and desolation forever. The boy your father-spirit has clung to like the light of your existence waves hi3 hand from the quarter-deck as the gigantic ship bends over the breeze; the tears have dimmed his eyes, for, mark he moves hi3 fingers orer them and this is a lass look. nEirrsa . oTHEr.3 to Die:- We sre commanded to bear one anothers' bur dens, &nd so to fulfill the law of Christ. This is not alone the burden of life, but the burden of death itself. For the sympathy of Christian heart, its faith, and prayers, and animating hope, which are so mightly in the struggle of life, do not loss all their power even in death. The last burden the Chris tian may bear with his brother. We can not indeed die for others. Rut we can follow them to the brink of the flood, and support their spirits by prayers and word3 of faith, and "hymns of lofty cheers:" The history of the Church in the day3 of the apostle3 and fathers, often presents the noble spectacle of a" ven- erable man of God, coming to the house of death, and lifting up the dying to receive the sacrament, and clasping the form in the last embrace, as if in his strong arm3 he couli bear it over the river of death. - . So, Christian, attend thou oi ;a dying. And thou shalt not die alone. But many shall gather at thy departure and follow till . thou art lost from sight, waving their last farewells. - Ihc or.lv rrood that a miser does,-is to prove the little happiness there to be found in wealth.

Commodore Perry's Narrative of the Japanese Expedition' contains the fol lowing account of an entertainment lie receired: Immediately on entering, the guests? were desired to seat themselves, tho Commodore, with Captains Buchinari and Adams, occupying the hi'hest table on the right hand, and the 2 recent and his associates the one opposite the' left. A pair of chop-sticks was u!a eed at each cornor of cre'rv tahhv in ihn centre was an carthjnpot filled with saki the intoxicating drink made by the Lcw-Chewans four acorn cups, four hr-e, cxir viuna cups, wna ciirir.-v spoons cl tna ' .

Of the dishes. however, which were famuur to west ern apprehension, there were hliccl boiled eggs, which had been dyed crimson, fish made into roils and boiled in fat, pieces of cold baked fish, slices' of hog's liver, sugar-candy, cucumbers, mustard, salted radish tops, and frag ments of lean pork, fried. Cups of tea were first handed round; these- were followed by very small cups of iaki; ed, to be used as forks, in taking ball of meat and dough from the soup, which made the first course. Soup constituted also the next zeven courses of the twelve, whereof the repast con sisted. The other four were 'ccr bread, salad made cf bean sprout's i and young onion tops, a basket of whit appeared to be some dark red frrit.bct proved to be balU composed of & thin dough rind covering a sugiry pulp, and a delicious mixture compounded of beaten eggs, and a slender-whito root with an aromatic taste.
