( KEEP DABJL
If yon would dwell in peace and joy.
Hare happiness without alloy,
In usefulness ysur time employ
i Keep dark.

Be this your motto, well obeyed.
Consult yourself if lacking aid,
But seldom have your wants displayed
! , .Keep dark.
When gossipers around you throng,
And talk of neighbors loud and long,
And whisper with a slsnd'rous tongue
Keep dark.
In this strange world if you would thrive,
And keep your wealth and worth alive.
And in the mines of knowledge dive
Keep dark.

Whatever your lot or where you go, -In
summer's heat or winter's snow,
In palace rich or cottage low
j Keep dark.

BT A. FLOYD FRAZlKJt.
When in the shadowy realm of dreams,
i Serenely arch'd with cloudless skies,
Where fancy roaais 'mid. fairy isles,
, And myriad forms of beauty rise
We half forget each coarser tie,
That links us to the world of pain,
And dwell with forms .f life more f.iir
Than those of earth have ever been.
- ' -But
when upon the midnight air
The pensive notes of Song are heard
And through the Spirits' echoing halls
j The chords of tiding deeply stirr'd
Each pure emotion swells more free
We bask upon a happier shore
Each buried love the charm renews,
And Heav'n seem's nearer than before.
Personal Chakactkr of Queen Victoria.
As a witV, the Queen is said to be jealous
and exacting. But she must indeed be despe
rate in her demands if she is not satisfied with
the, severe shrillness and decorous demeanor ol
the Prince. Sue ha a Warm temper, and that
which, is ofteii its accompaniment a warm
heart. Indeed, slie is . fen compelled to place
a chain on tiiat rebellious member in order to
rei r.-ss the woman and .maintain the Queen.
At tne Walewski's eel -brated ball of last sea
sou, she recognized at the door of th saloon, a
lady whom she had known, and with a look ol
joy, rau to greet her, wln-n suddenly recollect
ing, with, a look half sorrow iiil, half playful, she
checked the affection of the woman and resum
ed the dignity of the Queen.
In person. Queen Victoria is about five feet
two iucbes, but the shortnes of her m-ck gives lie
figure a look of duinpness. Her head i yrac
ful and well set oil, and Isidore, who i- ministei
of the exterior, sjieaks in raptures of the lengih
.-flijjl I-lE-ch It I'linnnja nf li..r lutii lii4.,tfi wVi.m.
fold the small ear isnestled like a pietty shell.
Her head and hand, which latter is the mem
ber that was wont to inspire that half patriot,
half bondsman enthusiasm of O'Couu-ll, are hei
best points. Her eyes have the full leaden look
common to the Gulephs; her skin is of a cream
colored hue, and her expression urn etined, espe
cially when flushed. Yet theie is about her a
consciousness of her position, andso little dis
played of that consciousness, and mr English
self-possession is so felicitously combined with a
certain German bon honimie, in this (instance
boane-femnie, that even those who. know her
only by sight, carry off an impression that they
have seeii the lace of a stereotyped, but highly
respectable, steady domestic, jolly, good heart
ed, rather choleric an 1 exi-itab e, but well d s
posed, although small braiu'ed English woman
of the Anglo German type.
Iron, coated with an alloy of le d and tin, in
which the quantity of lead is nearly equal to or
exceeds tnat ot tin, answers as well as lead or
galvanized iron for roofing, cisterns, bathes, pipes
gutters, window frames, telegraphic wires, and
lor marine and other ntii-TMises. A small nuanti
r r -
J iron is coated, hardens the coating, but dimm-
ishes its power of resisting corrosion, but the
addition of a little antimony not only hardens
l. . : i .. i , i i , ,
mo i-unwiig, out hiso manes il less oxiuaoie
less liable to corrosive action. Iron, coated with
the alloy of lead and tiu, or of lead, tin and an
timony, may answer better than lead for vitriol
chambers, and may sometimes be used instead of'
copper for the sheathing of ships.
Milk now performs other offices besides the
production of butter and cheese, and the flavor
ing tea. It has made its way into the textile
fabrics, and has become a valuable adjunct in
the bands of tbe calico printer anJ the woolen
manufacturer. Tnstbe class of pigment printing
work, which is indeed a species of printing, the
colors are laid oh the face of the goods in an
iusoluble condition, so as to give a full brilliant
appearance.- As a vehicle for effecting the pr.
cess of decoration, the invaluable albumen ob-tained-from
eggs was always used, but now niitk
is substituted.
The finest idea of a thunder storm extant is
when Wiggins came home tight. Now Wig
gin is a teacher, and had been to a temj-r-ance
meeting and drank too much lemonade
or something. Ha. came into the room among
hiawife and, daughters, and just then he tumb
led over tbe cradle and fell whop on the floor.
After a while he rose aud snid:
-Wife, are you hurtr "No," -Girls ate
you burtr "No."
" Terrible clap, wasn't it?"
A Missouri editor announces that the pub
lication of his paper will be suspended for six
weeks, in order that he may visit St Louis with
a load of hear skins, hoop poles, shingles, oak
bark and pickled cat fish, which he had taken
for subscription. ; ,
Cowles, in his excellent "History of Plants,"
notices the rirtoe of hemp thns laconically :
."By this cordage, ships are guided, bells are
rang, and rogues are kept in awe."
There are two things that epeak as with a
voice from heaven that He that tills that eter
nal throne must be on the side of vii tne, and
that which he befriends must finally prosper and
prevail. The first is that, the bad are never
completely happy and at ease, although posses
sed of everything that' this world can bestow,
and that the good are never completely misera'
ble, although deprived of everything that the
world can take a way.
A Great Mistake. The Boston Post, in
reference to th wear and tear of coin, fays that
a gold coin would last twothousad years before
it would enteirely disappear. Mr. Pliatgander
B oomsticks thinks that th- re must be some m's

generally, taking no more than a week to diaap

REALITY VERSUS FiCTlON.

Ertract.it from Critical Notices.
" The author sees all the lions of the Eureka State, goes
into the drinking and gambling saloons of San Francisco
and gives us an account of their interior, witnesses a bull
and bear tight and describes it very minutely, meets with
Chinese, Digger ludians,and all the mixed nations that
frequent the new States, works at the mines, boih North
ern and Southern, and gives in bis experience, which, in
one case at least, is very amusing, and, in short, presents
a picture of the entire country as he saw it. We believe
the book is destined to attractattention. There is a fresh
ness and nvrtU about it which removes it from the class
of common works of .travels." S'nithtrn Quarterly Re
view. ' Aside from his own experience, the author advances
a number of statistics aud general facts in proof of the
truth and in vindication of the severity of his-a'ilegations.
The book is very entertaining, and will be read with
(,-reat interest by every body." DaltimKre Sun.
' The author 'is a North Carulinian. He has written
his b.sok in a very agreeable style, and relates Many in
teresting incidents." liulthtnire V 'j fitter.
" It i-s well written, and cannot be read but with won
der and ainazemeut. The work must have a great run."
BalHtmtre i'nti-ft.
" Mr. Helper supports his inferences and deductions by
au array ot facts ami figures which stand wit in buld re
lief when contrasted with the statements sometimes made
and believed that California is hardly less than an earth
ly paradise. As we design shortly to give an extended
notice of the book, we forbear more comment at the pre
sent time, farther than to say that we have also resided
for several years iu the "golden State," and know per
sonally that most of the statements made in the book
(dismal as they are) are strictly true." Sutional Ameri
I'jin.. " It isa book of merit in point of ability, and of value
in its facts and truthfulness. ' Hhhmitnd Examiner.
' This book, from a Baltimore house, is really a capital
book of its kind. There is au air of cleverness over the
whole volume that !s exceedingly agreeable, aud several
of the chapters are remarkably welt' clone in a literary
uoint of view." MethodUt Protestant.
" It srives perhaps one of the correctest outlines of all
that is connected with California, which we have in print."
Watchmttn ami Observer
" He writes as an eye-witness aud slashes up Califor
nia life with the free and easy style of one who knows
what he is about. titchmmni Lhrtstian Advocate.
" The author is his own publisher, and we hope that
the book may, and think it will, prove remunerative to
' him, lor it is creditable iu very inaiiv respects, and de
serves a fair share of success. It is plain and honest. The
i " Balance sheet" is alone worth the price of a copy. When

Institution of Edinburgh and the Hotel des Invaiides of

practice of his profession , begs leave to suggest to the cit
izens ot the United States that several vears of stady and
successful experiments in England wd Scotland, as well
as other parts of Europe, wilh Consumption in all its
forms, enable him to warrant, not only relief, but a com
plete cure to all those suffering with this great national dis
ease. -
Dr. Trial deems it unprofessional to advertise ; but oth
ers having represented themselves as the originators of the
Inhalation Treatment, ho would say to the" afflicted that
he alone is entitled to its first introduction, and would
caution all aaainst using the useless and dangerous com
pounds advertised by incompetent persons.
"Taxe up thv bed and Walk"
Dr. Trist would say to those interested, that he has had
manufactured, for the use of his patrons, his " Patent In

FOE ALL THE PURPOSES 01 A
FAMILY PHYSIC.
There has long existed a public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on aa
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This ha
been prepared to meet that demand, and an exten
sive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown witi
what success it accomplishes the purpose deignei
It is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy u
make the best of all pills one which should ha'
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has. been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
