Wc cannot help, though "rfeet we may imagine ourselves, to con sider ourselves the theme of merry whis pers, and the pain rankling in our woun ded self-love, leaves a thorn which sooner or later will nting the npgressors, and prove a thorn to thein. Whispering in the presence of strangers, without npolo gy, is therefore entirely out of place, and ought to be avoided, cost what it may. Tur. DintHtNct. The Springfield Republican, in commenting upon the two great events which occupy the attention of the people and the press, well observes; "The whole civilized world is thrown into anguish by the loss of two hundred and fifty lives, by an accident at sea. Vet it receives wilh mote of rejoicing than si l ness, the intelligence that thirty thousand men have perished in fighting on the shores of the Mack Sea. Such ere the incongruities of civilization, and ot en lightened education, iu this age." IKFOTtTANT TO T9TJS0 Krih The history of many of the world's best men, who have rltsn from poverly tn positions of honjr and affluence, reveals the interesting fact, that it was the pos sesion of a small rash capital in the out set, which enabled them to sart in the pith of success, which ever after ntt'ti'!.vl their fords' cps. The histories of thcu nand'i of men, unknown to fame, n ho have raised l!-ni-,t 'ivn.s from ihe daily drud;-ery nf their servile tisks, to si! nations of com parative comfort, atlcit ll.e stimo.ii.ipor (nnt tru' .

Hpring of all their aolions, Ihey soon fall into spetrltliriM habi's ; they neglect to economise llieir small means ihey waste their time; they have no f red purpuse; thy live from hand to mouth; their reputation for reliability is not good, and when a luvoruMe opportuni'y occur, where, by the judicious employment of a small c; pits'. J iy one hundred dollars they could commence a profitable business, such iinuviditals are caught without a cent in their pockets or an acpiainlaneo who darn to trust them. Again, there is a large class of young men who cherish the belief that the timos are less favorable now for the successful development ol small enterprises, than by gone years. Tiiis in a very gre-it mistake. The op portunities for nijiiey-m..kiiig, especially frutn small beginnings, are a hundred-fold more numerous now thin they were twen- ly-five years ogo. There is riotelling what may he the pre ducts now-a-days from even a hundred dollar capitnl.

We have sesn many fin old veteran sheep dog benriug sears of a hundre 1 well fought battles in defence of his flock. If driven io the sad alternative, they would perish beside thir flock witW hunger before they would touch one of them.
