LET’S BE CONTENT..
Why murmur at your lot in life?
Look upward, bo a man 1
Away with discontent and strife,
And do the best you can.
What, tho’ you have no broad green lands,
No coffers filled with gold.
Health and strengt h, and honest hands,
Will yield you wealth untold.
Far better share the joys that fill *
The honest workman's breast,
The sleep that o’er his senses steal,
When nature claims her rest.
-•* 'Tho’ cares are on life’s patliway set,
And sorrow's spread around;
Remember that where rank weeds grow,
A floweret Oft is found. # ,
Who, then, would lire in Idleness,
When labor’s health and pleasure?
LefVbe contenli/ and Ho»ven will bless
Our ld&ks with loving measure.'
NEWSPAPERS.
The potency of newspapers is now uni
versally felt and acknowledged- Oral in
structions, rude ballads anil traditionary
chronicles, were the first vehicles of iufor
matictn and intellectual pleasure. To these
succeeded scrolls and tho tedious manipu
lations of penAhnship. The invention-of
printing myriadizod the facilities for attain
ing knowledge; but eveu books have be
come to slow for this fast age. They ha ve
subsided, into heavy artillery, while news
papers are Roman short swords whose
execution is as instantaneous as the electric
flash. They answer the universal wants
of mankind; they conflict not with the
requisition of business. When sipping
his brown beverage at the breakfast'table,
the merchant, mechanic, or agriculturist
is .glancing ovor tho current of human
events—the course- of trade—the rumors :
of war—the inventions of art—the dis
coveries of spience—all that makes up
the sum and substaneS of what we con
cretely call life, stretches before him with
nanoramic distinctness.
Newspapers have become a separate
power—they liave a thronodom of their
own—they are mightiest among the prin
cipalities of earth. From the king down
to the two-penny demagogue and scrub
race of politicians, none are above their
reach—all drink their censure. They are
equal to the highest argument, such as
may influence good, pure minds ; yet they
will stoop from this elevated status to the
filthiest styles of humanity, to weep over
the unfortunate, or to seek the wilfully
wricked with the billingsgate of their own
mephitic atmosphere Courted by the
politic and feared by the timid in a land
M liberty «and free discussion, they nVe
Omnipotent'. But while their power is
unlimited, they are omniscient, they are
not always just, they are not always mag
nanimous. We say “not always”—they
are generally just and generous. In an
unwise moment they sometimes strike
down the good and great, hut tkiswarely
happens. When it does, if misfortune is
borne as the truly great hear it, the same
power that ruined will hasten to reward
and to exalt them again. They are some
times tyrants, but never so long.
IIow is the power and the general cor
■ rectness of newspapers to he accounted for?
Why .is it that they are more efficient and
potent, and at the same time less tyranical
and more just, the more independent they
become? Make them rich in resources
and strong in intellect, and they only re
flect with more powerful lens the sterling
•ease of the times The answer to both
interrogations is to be found in the’signifi
cant Fact that newspapers arc not the re
flections of editorial wisdom. It is uotjthe
hrain.of one or two men that gives a paper
potency.- Its powev lies deeper—its foun
dation more,§(flid. Relying on the masses
for support^ it also looks to . them for the
index of its course. It is t,he representn
tive'Of democracy. It hut. gives a “name
and local habitation” to thoughts that have
been nurtured in the bosom of the people:
Dealing less in sophism than the dema
gogue, its sympathies arc still with the
.U1UCOVP' t U11IIUV Uiiv* UttOlJ ill UlULOj U3
‘•'sober second thought" gravitates to tho
pole# of truth apd conservatism. It is
wel* iknown that tAio London Times, truth
fully called thd “great thunder"-*—divides
with the King and Parliament the denomi
nation of England. In periods of greatest
excitement, as well as when danger ap
proaches muder the peaceful semblance of’
law, it has ever’been equal to the emer
gency. When tho balance of power is in
jeopardy; when some fierce comet of war
blazes out on the horizon—it is the first
Moloch denouncing
. ‘‘Desperate revenge aud battle dungerous
To less than Gods.”
IV hen the' rights secured by the Magna
Charta, and the time-honored fiction of
law are infringed upon some specious col
eriug, it is the spear of Ithuritjl, before
whose charmed touch error starts up from
ijs covert hiding. Yet this great poten
tate—this Jupiter tonin*—has its bitter
enemies. When it holds England in tho
“hollow of its hand," defying enemies from i
without aud dagger from within, it is de
nonneed as a* tyrant by disappointed au
thors and dwelling claps trap politicians.
Nevertheless it is sustained and supported
by the good sense of the sturdy English
nations. It has the same maniinoss and
reliability which distinguishes tho national
character It is their best exponent. It
is strong, for its strength is in the hearts
of the people.

Discontent.—IIow universal it is.— j
Wc never yet knew the man who could
say, ‘I am contented.’ Go where you will,!
among the rich or poor, the man of com- j
petence or the man who earns his bread
by the daily sweat of liis brow, you hear:
the sound of mourning and the voice of
complaint The other day wo stood by a
cooper, who was playing a merTy tunc
around the cask—‘ ah,’ said he, ‘mine is a
hard lot—forever trotting round like a
dog, driving away at a hoop.’ ‘Hcigho,’
sighed a blacksmith, in one of the hot
days, as he wiped the drops of perspiration
from his brow while the red hot iron J
glowed on his anvil—'this is life with aj
vengeance! melting and frying one’s self
over a burning fire.’ ‘O that I was a car
penter,’ ejaculated a shoe maker, as he
bent over his lap stone, here am I day af
ter day, wearing my soul away in making
soles for others, cooped up in a little 7 by
9 room.’ ’Hcigho ! I am sick of .this out
door work,’ exclaims the carpenter, ‘broil
ing under a sweltering sun, or exposed to
the inclemencies of the weather; if I were
only a tailor !’ ‘This is too bad !’ perpetu
ally cries a tailor, ‘to bo compelled to sit
perched up licsc, playing the needle fall
the time ; would that mine were a more
active life.’ ‘Last day of grace, banks
won’t pay, what shall 1 do!’ grumbles the
merchant, ‘I had much rather be a track
horse, a dog, anything!' ‘Happy fellows!’
groan's the lawyer, as he scratches his head
over some perplexing case, or pores over
some dry; musty record, ‘happy! I had
rather hammer stone than cudgel my brain
oil this tedious question.’ And so through
all the ramifications of society, all are
Complaining of their condition, finding
fault with their peculiar calling. If I
were only this or that, or the other, I
should be content, is the universal cry, any
thing but what I am. So wags the world,
so it has wagged, and so it will wag.

Female Delicacy.—Above all other
features which adorn the female character,
delicacy stands foremost within the province
mP rvnrvrl fotsf/x "NTrvf fliof flnlO'Xr is:
perpetually in quest of something to be j
ashamed of—which makesmeritof a blush, j
and simpers at the false t construction its j
own ingenuity has placed upon an innocent \
remark. This spurious kind of delicacy ■
is far removed from good sense. But the
high minded delicacy maintains its pure j
and uudcviating walk alike among women |
and the society of men; which shrinks
from no necessary duty, and can speak, I
when required, with a seriousness and j
kindness, of things on which it would he
ashamed to smile or blush; that delicacy
which knows how to confer a benefit with
out wounding the feelings of another
which can give alms without assumption,
and pains not the most susceptible being
in creation.

Sayings of Eminent Statesmen.
“We hold these truflis to be self-evident, j
that all men are created equal; that they
arc endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights; that among these, are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-”
— Thomas Jefferson.
“Liberty and Union, now and forever,
one and inseparable.”—Daniel Webster.
“The blessings of a free Government,
like the dews of Heaven, fall alike upon
the just and the unjust.”—William Hen
ry Harrison.
“Better he right than President.”—
Henry Clay.
“With malice towards none, with chari

Abraham Lincoln.
“I don't waste my ammunition on dead
ducks.”—'Andrew Johnson.
Paddy Burns, the ‘-Tramping Tyro.”—
The Marshall, (Texas) Republican, of the 23d,
has tho following notice of a well known char
acter:
Every Body has heard of the renowned old
typo, Paddy Burns, veteran relict of ft past
age of those who have figured in the “art pre
servative of all arts.” For perhaps forty years
he has “tramped,” as the phrase exists among
printers, and visited every printing office in
uieoouin, anu many m me
breaking out of the war, ho joined the Con.
federate army, where he remained for nearly;
four years. He is at present ovor sixty-years
old, but seems more vigorous and active than
many men at forty, Five or six weeks ago
he passed through Marshall. A. few days
since he returned. In the meantime, he has
visited Henderson, Huntsville, Austin Tyler,
and how many other places wo do not know.
He travels entirely ■on foot disdaining the use
of horses, buggies, or stage coaches, which lie
considers too slow for rapid locomotion, lie
left this place for Jefferson:—Thence he will
go perhaps to Shreveport, pay a flying visit
to Arkansas, Missouri, and perhaps Ten
nessee, and finally wend liis way back to the
“lone star State. Among our earliest recollec
tions of Texas, we heard of “Paddy Burns.”
He was then in the meridian of life.. An old
gentleman with whom lie was temporarily
stopped spoke of him as a “Pooty smart man,
but a great talker; liis tongue was-a gwine
andagwiue.” Yes arms, legs and brain have
been employed by him for forty y. irs. What a |
life he has passed; what scones he has wit- j
nessed. how much of information lie has ac
quired? And now, when he has reached the |
“sere end yellow leaf’ of existence he is i
almost a hoy in action and feeling.
lYe feel kindly to “tramping” printers.
They Are usually men of inteligenee and.
generous impulse, and almost invariably good
printers. Wherever they go, in their pere
grinations, they make an impression by impro
ving the typographical appearance of news
papers.'

In a Predicament.—‘Hallo, Jim, liow are
you ? inquired a young man, of a friend whom
lie called upon, and found confined to his
chamber.
‘I'm not well!’
‘Not well ?—what's the matter with you?’
‘I'm in a predicament!’
‘In a predicament ? How do yon make that !
out ?’ .
‘I have not paid my board this six weeks.’
■I# that all? why my dear fellow, you don't
pretend to say that this is the cause of your
illness?’
•Yes but I do ! They won't allow me to go
away iill I pay niv board, and they won't allow
me focal till I settleup.’
Hie friend picked up liis hat and remarked

The Lacoh of Woman.—A woman has no'
natural gift mprc bewitching than a sweat
laugh. It is like (lie sound of flutci on the
water. It leaps from her in a clear epdrklihg
rill; and the heart that hoars it feels ns it
bathed in the cool exhilirating spring, llavc
you c^er pursued-an unseen fugitive through
trees, led on by a fairy laugh—now here, now
there now lost now found ? We ; and we are
pursuing that wandering vdico to this day.
Sometimes it comes to us in the midst of care,
or sorrow, or irksome business ; and then we
turn away and listen, and hear it ringing
through the room like a silver bell, with power
to scare away the evil spirits of tlie mind.
How much we owe to that sweet laugh ! It
turns the prose to poetry ; it flings showers
of sunshine over the darkuesa of the wood in
which we are traveling ; it touches with light
even onr sleep, which is no more the image
of death, but is consumed with dreams that
are the shadow s of immortality.
Reduction of Armies in Europm.—It is an
auspicious sign that some of the leading gov
ernments of the Old world are reducing then
armies, especially France and Russia. The
Advocate of Peace says that tiie latter did so
some time ago; and the next report from
St. Petersburg says that -‘fifty thousand more
soldiers will be sent to their home.” These
reductions in Europe, along witli the disband
ment of our own troops, both loyal and rebel
will have left at the close of I860, nearly a i
million and a quarter less men, all nominally
Christains, engaged in the work of human
slaughter, than were employed in 1864. Let
us bo thankful for tire improvement; but what
a sad and shameful state of things do such
facte reveal among the reputed followers of
the Prince of 1’eaee, more than 1,800 years
after hisascension to heaven 1
' A Secret of Youth.—There arc women
who cannot grow old—-women who without
any special effort, remain always young and
attractive. The number is smaller than it
should be, but there is still a sufficient number
to mark the wide difference between this class
and the other.— The secret of this perpetual
youth lies not in beauty, for some women pos
sess it who are not at all handsome ; nor in
dress, for they are frequently careless iu that
respect, so far as the mere arbitary dictates
of fashion are concerned; nor in having
nothing to do, for these ever-young women
are always as busy ns bees, and it is very
well known that idleness will fi ct people into
old age and ugliness faster than overwork.
The charm, we imagine, lies in a sunny temper
—.neither more nor les-1—the blest gitt oi
always looking on the bright side of life, and
of stretching the mantle of charity over every
body's faults and failings. It is not much of
__i nV.ln
to discover, and we have watched such with
great interest, and a determination to report
truthfully for the'henifit of the rest of the sex.
It is very provoking that it is something that
cannot be corked up and sold for fifty cents
a bottle: but ns'this is impossible, why, the
most of us will have to keep on growing as
ugly and disagreeable as possible.

How to Keep Poor.—The Sandusky, Ohio,
Register says : The way to keep poor is to buy
two glasses of ale every day, live cents each,
amouutaingin one year to$3G 50; smoke three
cigars—one after each meal coming up in the
course of the year to $54 85; keep a big dog,
which will consume in a.year at least $15 worth
of provisions and a cat $4 more. Altogether
this amounts to $110 15—sufficient to buy
six barf els of flour, one hundred bushels of
coal, and a barrel of sugar, one sack of coffee,
a good coat, a respectable dress, besides, a
frock for the baby and a half dozen- pair of
shoes^—more or less. Just think of it. Accord
ing to the above figures, Sandusky must be
a cheap place in which to live. In this section
of the Country, the items of flour, sugar and
poffee, would use up the $110 15; and the
good coat, respectable dress, frock for
the baby, and half dozen pair of shoes, would
2Qme out short. However, the argument
igainst the deleterious and uueOessary aruG;?°
enumerated is plain, and should bo heeded.
If the money squandered would not purhase
:he amount stated, it would go a long way
:owards it and buy many comforts for tbe
family.
