HAPPINESS. At Italian B'uhop, who hnd struggled thrniigh mony dillicultics w-thnut repin ing, and being much opposed without manifesting impatience, being asked bv :i frienj to c Himunicate the secret of his always being happy, rewlied, "It cunsists in a single thing, and that K makii g a right use of my eyes." II s fiiend, in surpriie, begtied him to ex plain this meaning. 'Most willingly," replied the Hishnp. In whatsoever slate I am, I first of all lok up tn heaven, and remember that my great business is to got there. I then look down upon earth, and call tn mind how small a space I shall soon fill in it. I then lm.-k abroad in the world, and see multitudes are, in ail respects, less happy than myself. And thus I learo where true happiness is placed, where all mv cares must r t d, at d how little reason I ever had to murmer, or to be otherwise than thankful. And to live in thW spirit is to be always happy ." REVERENCE TO AGE.

And it is i nt umusing to ice how many nice little wi.es and good, plain mothers are spoiled by a taste of gayety in nur republican capital. One mem bei's wife, when she came here first, a few months ago, was really homesick for her little village.

S mie one has truly said that at n time da yeung men leel so much the inspiration i f viituous love as when be giiini"g the hauls of life. Early mar riages are peinmnent moralities, and de ferred mnrriaces ara temptations to wick edness. And yet every year it becomes more and more ddlioult, concurrent with the reigning ideas uf society, fnr young men In liter upon that ii.iitriiuiiniul state which is the proper gu ird of their virtue, us well as the source nf their courage nud enUrprise, The battle ol life is almost tiUujs nt the begii tiing. i'here it is th. t a man needs wedlock. li.it a wicked and ridiculous publx sen timent puts a man who is in s miety, ur out of societv, f.r that matter, largely on the ground nf condition, ami but of disposition and character. Tne man that has menus wherewith he ;n visi bly live amply, is in gund siciety, as a general rule. The mm that has virtue and sterling inanlinitg', but has nothing withal external tn show, is not usually considered i good society Ambitious young men wd' nor, therefore, marry ii' til thev can neet their expanses; but that is deferring for years ami years the indispensable iriue. Society is bad where two cannnt live cheaper thin one; and young men are under bad influences who. when in the very morning of life, and better fvted than ac any la'er period to grow together with one who is their equal arid male, are debarred from marrying, through scores of year, from mere prudential cnnsiJeratioRS ; and the heart and (he liie are sacrificed ta the pxket. They are tempted to substi tute ambition fur love, when at last, over the ashes and expiring emhers of their early romance, they select their wife.

"There is ex-Oov. , and next to him is Gen, ; behind hiro is Senator , that one there is , the poet," ic.
