Lie palace at Sing-Sipg where Jhe State droviJes a ' living for such as it thinks do. serving, but not just such a one as consists with their own estimate of their exalted merits. "-. Tho groat error in this case is the origi nal maxim. It is false and detestable. 'The world owes you a living? How owes? (Have you earned it by good service ? - If I I ...i..i . .1... : plilpit, as a toiler or tt teactjer, " you hvo acquired a lust risht to livelihood. But if you have eaten as much as you have earned; or worse still, have done little or no good, the world owes vou nothing. You may be worth millions, and able to enjoy every im aginary luxury without care or effort, but if you havedone"nothing"to increase the sum of human comforts, instead of the world owing- you any thing as fools have babbled, you arc morally bankrupt and a beggar. Mankind are just, awaking to a conscious ness of the duty resting on every man to be active and useful in his sphere. AH are not called to dig or hew to plough or plane but every man has a sphere of usefulness allotted him by Providence, and is unftuth ful to his trust if he deserts it for idle pomp or heedless luxury. One man may be fit ted by nature and inclination for onartizan, another for a sailor, and a third for a mer- chant ; hut no man was ever born fitted only to be an idler and drone. . Those who be. come so are the victims of perverse cir- cumstances.and & (teplorablo education. V Hut has not a rich man a right to enjoy his wealth?' Most certainly. We would be thclast to deny him of it. lie has a na. tural and legal right .to possess and enjoy it in nnp mvriup nr)t i njti rirt) i l&y,lhpr ' Km he has no moral right to be useless because he has superior means of being useful. Let him surround himself with nil the comtorts and true luxuries of life ; let the master, pieces of artjsmile upon him in his galleries, and the mighty minds of all ages speak to him from his library. Let plenty deck his board, and tho faces of those ho loves ga. thcr joyously around it. Let him possess iu abundance the means of satisfying every pure and just desire of hfs nature, and be. come wiser, 'nobler, larger in foul, than his less fortunate neighbor. But never let him lorget as, if properly trained, ho, never can that it is his solemn duty to be useful to his fellow creatures, especially to the de. pressed and suffering to labor for their benefit; and sufforTlf need be, for their ele vation. The servile idolatry withvhich and vulgarity have looked up to power and wealth ihc hosannas which the trampled millions have sung before the conquerors land other scourges of the earth are fading and Hitting lorevcr. In the twilight which succeeds this gross darkness, there comes n season of moral anarchy, when men hav ing lost faith in juggler who once blinded and bound them, resolve to believe nothing . to decry and prostrate all that rises above the lowest level. INow tho laborer with his sinews returns hatred for the contempt once attempted to be cast upon him, and says, whatgood is there in any thing but manual labor ? away with all else Utliose whose la bor Js neiUier mental .or. physical are but moths. Ihe wofrld soon learns to respect its benefactors in whatever sphere," and to realize that he who truly and honestly ex. liFtsTiTmscIf in some department of useful effort, may justly claim the highest reward of merit. All tears wiped away. They fall fast in this world. They arc seen every where. There ore so many causes for them, and in such constant ope ration, that there is not a moment not mark, ed by a tear. -t We try to wipe them away. We strug. glchard to prevent the eye from telling the sadness of the heart. Sometimes we do, for a while, seal up the fountain. - But it is soon open again. Our strongest purpose will not prevent it. Our friends try to wipe awny our tears.. Their words fall kindly on par ears. But sorrow is tod" deep for them. We thank them, but still weep. Time tries to Wipe our tears away. Many of them do disap pear under his efforts. But he only poOrly and partially accomplishes-his work- Some new wavo of trouble makes us mourn afresh So it has ever been. All before , us hare known more or Jess of tears, till the eve was dim in death. Alt coming after us will also pay the tribute of their tears ia testi mony of the sosrows of human life. . Buthat a kingdom that, where there are no tears. V " All tears shall be iped away !" It would be a glorious kingdom, even if tho work was not quite so completer How happy would men count themselves, j - ' " it they were made to ' weep only once or twice ia a life time f . What a kingdom of this world that would be-, enly al few of whose inhabitants ever haf sorrow enough to cause tears. But in the kingdom above the work is perfect. There shall not even be one weeper. There shall rot be one tear. . 7 It "will not be the power that we may have over ourselves that shall cause our Icars to cease nor that of-otrr-friends orer us- nor the laws of time that shall do it. These agencies of relief have been tried and have failed. God shall wipe away all tears. This agency cannot fail. He can reach the deepest fountain of grief. The suffused eve is the Sign of the soul in trouble. God will penetrate the soul itself with such in fluences asshall make tears impossible. He will drive all tho causes of sorrow out of it. As the last trace of sin is removed, then will bo removed the grand agent of human wo. The fountain is then lorevcr sealedT " What a sensation would bo felt if it should be announced that in this world there should bo no more tears. Men would lift themselves up, as if a heavy burden had been thrown off They would shout to each other in exultation, and call on the floods to clap their hands. .WIiy.jshould lbey not rejoice that it shall be so in the kingdom above ? And wilh far greater joy ; as this world fde$ as a leaf, but tlwt to coiuo-is everlasting, 1 . All tears shall cease. The tears of pain the tears of bereavement the tears of disappointnenl the tears of remorse tho tears of despair ; they are all wiped away. Go through" all tho - heaverrly realms pand there shall not be found a tear. You find millions that have wept; but the former things have passed away. Moses wept, and David.'and l3aiah-Htnd Paul.- Nora ran somcd one of all the myriads but once did weep. But the last tear has fallen ! Right views of that blessed world, and deep meditation upon it,aresuited to soothe our earthly sorrows, and chase away some at least of the tears that fall so fust now. God has revealed a tearless heaven to light, en, by hope of it, the trials of mortality. Blessed is he who knows how to use aright so powerful and happy an agency. .Boston Recorder. Rural Embellishment TlicTdisriosition to improve and adorn the grounds immediately around houses in the country, is rapidly extending itsclt in Amcr lea. But it is very much chccKeu oy me wn nt nf pr.ictic.fl) ipiideK. l?V mejfns of which there shall Co some security afforded to in. dividuals with moderato resources, against the misapplication of their money and labor. The English works, which are to be found in great variety, and some of them very splendid, are worso than useless in many respects upon this sjdeof the Atlantic ; for they are predicated upon a Rate of society and manners, a climate, an extent of pri vate fortunes, ind a scale of prices of labor and materials so wholly different from what, is known here, that any luckless wight who ever cornmenced operations tij5b"n the faith of what ho read In them, must have had occasion before he ended, to repent in more ways than one of Ins misplaced confidence. Almost every citizen of the United States, when he begins to improvcrtand7 hasto deal with nature in some" of her primitive fgnoTancc-fI ficvcry thing before him to be done, nnd the cost of labor with which to do it very great. Hence, it often hap. pens, that he has expended a considerable sum realizing nothing further from it. as yet, than an opportunity to expend more to advantage. He finds this no whero set down in tho estimates of the old world, whero no such work is necessary ; -and he becomes discouraged from doing wore. What he sees put down within the compass of a moderate fortune in England, turns out to require a large one in America. He loses confidence tn all estimates whatever, and in order to save himself from" ruin, stnns where? hn is. Tlir cciftorptrr rrnn' crallv is. that he loses the aefvantage of much of his preceding outlay ; that he gets disgusted With country life ; finally sells what he has done for a quarter part of the amount it has cast him, and returns to aey4W,olisaM detcrmincdncver to leave it ; or, if ho does, only for a jaunt to some watering place du ring the hot weeks of the season. Yet, ofter all, it is very easy toadorn the lowliest country dwelling without incurring much cost, provided only the disposition be found to exist in the mind of its tenant. There is no country, where thcopportuni ty and the inducement unite together in a greater degree, than among us. Our lands arc generally io tlic hands of independent citizens; who own them free from incum brance, but who own not much else. A trifling amount of annual labor, is all that is necessary to make the difference at home, between a bare and desolate hovel, and a pretty farm-house. A few overgrown cur rant bushes in a tormal row before the house which have been left tq take care of them selves ever since they were set ; half a do. zen wild apple trees, constitute all the hor. licultujal improvement of many of our most ancient interior towns. A few hours but too often spent at the tavern fire-place in political wrangljng, would suffice to put a new face upon the scene. The apple-trees might be made, to return money into the pocket of their owner, and bis neglected curra of bushes might afford space for a few additional plants, the cultivation of which would soften and expand his own mind, inthermrotbthat it imnrored the appearance of bis home.' His wife and hischildren taking the benefit of his exnm. pie, could daily t contribute without effort their mite to the general effect, and thus would grow but of ft 'neglected and repel, ling spot, a cheerful and inviting scene To do all this, little is necessary beyond the wilLof the individual concerned. Vet how many arc there all over the United' States, men and women, who have never realized the possibility of such a conception, and twhothintmlrThe-usc-of"lhcnearttlto ixjrl mctntcllrrJttidTaTnnnrKrnttrttr-tigeft I .... . . f.i . r c t i ' '-.. i that it yields corn nnd wheat and potatoes all the beauty of a house, that it is a slicker from the weather. We wish that there was in America, a more decided taste for country life among the younger portion of those classes, favor ed by fortune with tho possession of pro. pcrly. Itiwould have a tendency, . in some degree, to counteract tle restlessness and disposition to change, which is chancteris tic of our people, and to check the passion for luxuries of all kinds., which is rapidly extending itselfw The" increase or or public hotels, and the facilities of transpor tation from place to place. One of the greatest supports to the fabric of society, as it is erected in England, is tho landed in terest; by which wc mean, that class of proprietors who live upon their estates, and sympathize with all their neighbors, poor or rich, and to whom the idea of removal from the place which they nail home, is in the nature of 4i- heavy -Calamity. In the United States there is no such class. The wealthy have mado their property for them selves in cities, and to most of them a coun try house is necessary, . because it is com. monly regarded as an appendago to the condition of a man of fortune, ft od f r no other reason. It is seldom considered in the light of a permanent possession, or more than a place to spentT three or four months of summerr Nrr rural tastes are formed, no sympathies with neighbors arc created. The citizen all his life, and his country residence at his death is sold, and passes into other hands, without the perpet uation of a single memorial that such a man had ever dwelt in it. The great majority of persons who make country seats, duso be. rnuse. thev have tf 'romantic idea in theitH mind of the delight of a beautiful retreat from the bustle of the world. Neither mo live will answer for any length of time, to keep them living there. The desire for dis play, rapidly palk witb the possession of all that is necessary to indulge it, and the fancy for retirement gives way before thedrean ncss of solitude. Let no one of properly seek a country place unless he is inclined to nttaoh liimaclf to tbe soil, to make his chil dren feel that it is their's as well ns bis, to cultivate a common interest with all his neighbors.

Every industrious and eco nomical wife in the country, moulds, (or dips) a large portion of the candles used by he?nouschold every year. At any rate, she ought to do it, especially if her husband kills any beeves and if Ac does not, she is certainly bound to deliver him a full course of curtain lectures during the fall and win tor nights. Withthis preface we will now tell our fair readers how to make candles far superior to those usually made iu the country. Trepareyour wicks about half the usual size, and wet them thoroughly in Spirits afr Turpentine, put them in the sun until dry, and then mould or dip.,yourcan. 1 dies.
