Don't bo in a hurry, my friend, I may not understand the art in the most perfect manner; but I think I can put you in the way of being so at least show you how to try-, and that may help a little. Thus: every morning when you get up, determine to give somebody pleas ure during the day, and if possible, more than one ; then go to your work, atid, above every thmg, do your duty thoroughly. This will make you very "cheerful ; for the conscious ness of doing right makes people tvippy. During all this time be endeavoring to carry out your early morning determination wher ever you find an opportunity, and you stfll not wait long lor one. ror tins purpose it does not need that 3 u should do sorao creai thing, or make soma costly present ; for often a kind word, or a kind action is enough. Uqubly happy will you be if you have per suaded your neighbor to act upon the same system as yourself; for he may now, quite unexpectedly, send a pleasure either into your house or your heart. ilow beautiful the bond of human-brother would be if every body thought how short a lifetime he had, to spend among others, and endeavored as much as possible to occupy it with good and useful actions! And. this buinan love becomes still nobler when the object iso do something which shall benefit thj community, the nation in which we live, or humanity at large. Desires of this kind elavate any mau,let his life b as humble and circumscribed as it may be ; they give an in ward dignity and nobility, and fill his heart with a joy that raises him above all petty annoyances, and even above sorrow.

It is different with the man who dinks wine, for wiim is rarpW nsed except at meals : so that the effects have time to pass away before a second dose becomes due, and hence no crlving for an increased quantity is expert enLed. Men are new living, in consequence, in robust old age, who Lave taken the same identical number of glasses of wine daily for half a century without feeling it necessary to inereasft the quantity. - ' j . 7 -Antiquity of Xadies Hoops. ; Our lady readers will find, by turning to the third chapter of the book of Isaiah, and reading the lSth verse, that, not only were hdops worn in those dajs by the daughters ofiacn,' but they were also an abommaton in the sight of the Lord. To sav them the trduble, however, to hunt it up here is the veTse t 'In that day the Lord wilUako away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about this ir feet, and their .cau V and their round tires like-the moonvvasmngton oJ her'ho'psand retires; at night, whu .she tates theia bffl' "lJutV wo" qestion. if the scriptural phrase rwill apply h in . these ;.times foi now-a-days a lady puU on hoop after hoop, and never tires. - If ladies hoops"could prorly be called 'tires,' it- might be said; of a modern belle, ihkt she tires in the morninsr when she puts - F rom the Chnr?lfn- '- n First Blood Sited for Liberty in the . Kevolntionarr War. Among other air .gant assumptions at the North we behevo that the honor of. having shed the first blood in . defence of liberty aRd against Brrtsh oppression has always been c aimed by the SUteof Massachjisets, and that she has always remained in. undisputed possession of the honor,-. But the assump. tipn isa false one, and to which sh Is not enntled. The first blood hed in defence of ibeuyand m opos-ng English onpression, was in the Smith. The i fatata of North Carolina the old North State " asd twin sister of South Carolina is entitled to the honor. It was during the gubernatorial administration of the notorious Governor Trvon, the English Governor at the time, r who" built one of the most splendid palaces in "either North or South America, at Newbern, N. C, with the proceeds of lazes imposed unon the naon la for the purpose, and to resist which taxation a portion ot them rebelled, just as did the men of Massachusetts afterwards: ft innlr place in the year If 71, and is narrated bv Mr. Wheeler in his History of North Carol u na. On the 16th of Mayin that year, ; a battle was fought between the American and British forces, on the banks of the Alamance Hiver, in what is know" now as the countv Of that name called the Battle of Alamance: lue Atnencao forces were called the 'Reg ulators, from their-efforts in endeavoring to bring about an equitable regulation of taxes and other oppressive matters. The Ameri can forces amounted to two thousand, and were headed by thiee men, -named Husbands uunter ana Sutler ; while the British forces, including militia - called out by Try 011, a raouuted to upwards of eleven hundred, but had the advantage srreatlv in arms and dis cipline. As might have been-expected, the Americana were defeated, after an action of two hours, with a loss of twenty dead and several wounded, while that of the royal for ces, in killed, wounded and missing, was sixty one. Mr. Wheeler says : Thus ended the battle of Alamance Thus and here was the first blood spilled u these United States, in resistance to exactions of English rulers and oppressions by the Eng- ish Governmen t. The creat Wolf of North ft l: t l 11. . . 1 . a.onua snowea uis biooa-tmrsty temper by acts of tevenge, cruelty and barbarity. He burff Cam?n Tw tL next ,iw. with, out tiial, on a tree.' It was in this case, aa Bvron truly says in one of his poems : "'For Freedom's battle once begun, Beque athed from bleeding sire to bo;, Though sometimes lost, ia ever won." -Thus we see that it was at the battle of Alamance, and not at Bunker Hill, that the first American blood was -shed in the cause of liberty, 'Honor to whom, honor is due.' J.K. II. Near New Boston, Henry Co., Tenn,, June 8, 1858. The Farmer's Creed. One of our exchanges gives the following first-rate advice, under the heading of 'The Farmer's Creed;' 'We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. The soil loves to eat as well as its owners, and, therefore, to be nurtured. We believe in large crops, which leave the land better than they found it; making both land and firmer rich at once 1 We believe In going to the bottom of things, and there fore, in deep plowing, and enough of it better if with a subsoil p1ow. We believe that the best fertility of any soil is the spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence without this, lime and gypsum, bones and green manure, marl or piaster,' will be of lit,. tie use. We believe in a clean kitchen, with a ueat wne m u, a spinning piano, a clean cupboard, dairy and conscience. ' We firmly disbelieve in farmers that grow poor every year ; in starved cattle ; in farmer's boys turn inar into cleiks and merchants : in farmer's daughters unwilling to work; and in all farmers who are ashamed of their vocation.' Medical Epitaplis. A prolongred medical statement cf the dis ease of which the departed raay; chance, to have died, is extremely popular, t At Action, in Cornwall, there is this account of how one Morton came by his end : ! "Hero lies entombed one Roger Morton, Whose sudden death was early brought on : Trvincr one day his corn to mow off, - The razor slipped and cut his toe off ; . The toe, or rather what it grew to, ;"' An inflammation quickly flew to : ? . The parts they took to mortifving, I And poor dear Roger took to dying." ; And here is a still more entertaining one, upon a certain lady in Devonshire ; singu. laHy free from any hohseniical pretence or idle bravado : . ' 'KidiS A y-bs i-:; "Here lies Betsey Cruden; : -; v. .... ..- ?-; She would a Ie.ifd but she cood'en. 'fwas na grief na sorrow as made she decay, But this bad le'z as'carrM sWaway.".

The u nances of the country are in a state that must reuder any naval or military expenditure not absolutely called for by necessity or honor peculiarly inexpedient. v ii . ; '. Fiance has but few colonies, and those of -' j ' i ' ' - inconsiderable extent. She has no large for eign commerce to protect, 11 o refractory India to recbnquer aiid re organize. She has no thing to fear from a descenton her j coasts from any foreign power. Why, then, , is France arming audteugmentiog her nary ! We have a riht to ask the question, for whateer. be the1 enemy against whom the thunderbolt is forged there is , no doubt that these warlike preparations in a time of pro found peace tend to inflict upou us, in com mon with the best of our neighbors, many of the calamities and miseries of war. If France . will insist on increasing her armies and naviet f she forces us, her neighbors and her. allies,; to do the same. We have too much at stake within this little island of ours to be content to exisi by the permission and on the sufferance of any ally, howsver faith-ful-Lofany foreign prince, however magnan imour. If France is determined to arm, j we, must either be fonteut to lie at her mercy, or prepare to artn too. : If she increases her regular army, fe can hardly do less than call I out and embody our militja. If she in-, sists upon increasing her navy, she forces us, most unwillingly, from the barest consider aticTJsof prudence, to undergo the expense of a Channel Fleet ; We, would,, then, take he liberty respectfu ly to submit to the Emperor Napoleon that It is the sincere wish of this country to bo his good friend and true ally ; that to-this end we have mado manVj sacri ficca, and are prepared to make many more; bat he asks too inuch of us i f he expects that he is at onxe to enjoy whateveri power, sur port, or influence his alliance with Englaod may give him, and at the same time; inflict upon urby his ast military and naval pre parations, a war expenditure which we are . most unwilling! to incur, and which casts upon us many of the evils of a state of actual hoalilitief.
