VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI. -.The
balance of political power in
this
country, will soon become firmly fixed
west of the Alleghany mountains. The
influx of population is so rapid, and the ex.
tent and fertility of the soil so great, that
the destinies of this country will shortly be
determined by the voice of the people of
the Vallev of the Mississippi. This stupend.
ous jcgion is pronounced by an erudite for

Yet even at the present day, comparatively
speaking, it is a mighty desert, only a stu.

extent of this Valley u vast, and the num

SAGACITY OF A LIONESS.
The following story is from the English
Monthly Magazine, and may be depended
upon as accurate. .
A party of a ship's crew bemg sent
ashore on a part of tho coast of India, or
the purpose of cutting wood for the ship,
one of tho men.havio gstrayed from the rest,
was greatly frightened by the appearance
of a large lioness, Who made towards him ;
she laid down at his feet and looked very
earnestly, first at him and then at a tree a
littleistanceonvAlterTBpBatingher
ooks several times, she arose and proceed.
ed on towards the tree, looking back seve.
ral times, seemingly wishing the man to
follow her; which he did ; And Upon com-
ing up to the tree, he looked up and per.
ceived a huge baboon with two young cubs
in her arms, which he supposed were . the
ioness s, as she crouched down like a cat,
and seemed to eye them very steadfastly j
upon which, the man being afraid to as
cend the tree, bethoght himself to cut the
tree down ; and having his axe with him,
he set to work, when the lioness seemed
more attentive to what he was doing, upon
the falling of the tree, she sprang forward
on the baboon, and tore him in pieces, she
then licked the cubs over and over again ; ,
after which she returned to the man, who
waspreatlv frightened, at seeing her in
such a rage with the baboon, bu she came
and fawned round him, rubbing her head
against him in great fondness : and which
seemed to show her gratitude for the ser.
vice which he had done her ; she went to
the cubs, and taking one of them up in her
mouth, went away with it,- and returning
soon afterwards for the ; other, she went
away with that also ( the man made the
best of his wayoflTto the shore, where he
was taken aboard and did not get rid of his
fright foi some time after. ' ' "

According to announcement, the great
New York Temperance Mass Jubilee took
place yesterday. The weather, like the
cause, was, from dawn to sunset, full of
heaven sown joyousness and serenity; and
the great moral exhibition of thousands of
our fellow citizens, as they passed through
the principal' Streets and Avenues of our J
(Jity, in the brotherhood of peace and the
vindication of mind in its consciousness of
nobility, was such as has never before been
among us, one which has undoubtedly shed
a gleam of hope around many a hither des-
olate fire side.
The-deputarions from- abroad - wero ou-

bore some beautiful illustrations of their de

was most happily represented; and her
champions in the cause added much to the

A FRAGMENT THE CONTRAST.
Death was abroad in the land. He
sought tho dwelling of rank and station,
and laid his icy hand upon the lord of the
mansion. A burning fever was on his
brow a wasting disease was at his heart.
His beloved wife was at bis bedside to
bathe his aching bead, and share his grief
and sorrow bis mother called back ber
watchful care, and the fountains of mutual
tenderness were again broken up. Broth,
era and sisters watching over- him with
anxious tear neighbors and friends gath.
ered round to anticipate every want .. The
Minister was there to speak of eternal
things, and open to lira Cm brighlTglories
of another' world. Christians were listen,
ing to the dying accents of his lips, yea,
they travelled with hisdeparting spirit even
down to the gates of death J nor did they
leave him here.' They would honor the
cold clay with every attention all were
anxious to aid the last sad ceremony huma.
nity claim. Twaswcll.
But death entered a humble dwelling
the abode of poverty. A female form was
suffering pain and disease which was soon
to close her earthly career. , There was
no mother to wipe away her tears, or give
her consolation ; no brother or sister to
sympathise in her pains and sorrows J no
kind friend to supply her wants. aTlre Min.
biter came not to teach her benighted soul
the way to eternal life, though her Divine
Master preached the Gospel to the poor '
Christians came not to pray with the dy.
ing sinner, and talk of tho love of Christ,
the example of their Saviour who " went
about doing good." Woman tender heart
ed woman regarded her s a frail sister,
beyond the pale of sympathy, forgetting
the kindness of that blessed Lord, whose
compassion would not condemn, but said
umo the gully, ' go thy way and sin no
more.'
She had not even a Bible to shed a ray
of light on that dark hour of her existence
but in the silence of midnight, when- left
to meditate on her own wretchedness elte
prayed. Yes she felt that she was a sinner,
and looked to God Tor aid, for truly she
felt that " the help of man was vain.
She died. The rich and the great came
not to her burial ; but the poor of the world
bore her to the grave, and there, without a
tear, committed " dust unto dust," and no
stone will ever tell her resting place.
BE SOMETHING.
Tt is the duty of everyone to take some
part as actor on the stage of life. Some
seem to think' they can vegetate, as it were
without being any thing in particular. Man
was not made to rust out his life. It is ex
peeled that he should " act well his part1'
He must be something. He has a work to
perform, which it is his duty to attend to.
We arc not placed here to grow up, pass
through tho various stages of life, and then
die, without having done any thing for the
benefit of the human race. It is a princi
ple in the creed of the Muhammetnns that
every one' should havp a Jrade. Isa man
to be brought up in idleness 'Is he to
live upon the wealth which hia ancesters
have acquired by hard laboi and frugal
industry T Is he placed here to pass through
life like an automaton? flas lie nothing
to penormas a citizen ol the world T JJoes
he owe nothing to his country as an inha.
bitantf A mao who does nothing is a mere
cipher. He docs not fulfil the obligation
for which he was sent into the world, and
when he dies he has not finished the work
given him to do. He is a tncre blank
in creation. Some are born with riches
and honors upon their heads. But does h
follow that tbey nave nothing to do in their
earcer-th rough UieJ Thej-ereertain
duties forevery one to perform. He tome-
thing. Don't live like a hermit, and die
like u hermit.
See that young man, no matter what are
his engagements, if he has no particular bu
siness" to pursue he" will" never accompluh
much. Perhaps ho ho 8 a futher abundant

squandering away the money which their'
father hai earned by hard labor? No!
No one who has the proper feeling of a
citizen, who wishes to bo ranked among
the useful members of society, would live
such a life. Be something don't be a
drone. You may rely upon your present
possessions, or on your future prospects,
but those riches may fly away, or other
hopes may be blighted, and if you have no
place of your own, in such a case, ten tOone

Idle boys living upon a parent, without anv

long at once ; stand not for hours in one
posture, nor lie longer than necessary. In
winter keep not yourself too hot, nor in

stream or draughtof wind as you would as

to cold. If in the spring there should be
two or three hot days, do not be in haste to
put off your winter clothes. It is unwhole

Wash your mouth with lukewarm water
before you go to rest, and rub the soles of
your feet warm. When you lie down ba

hands after every meal.
