The Ends of Life.
"I am gohi to leave school at the ex-
piration of litis term' remarked Edward
Mayo a youth between seventeen and
eighteen to his friend and companion
Charles Carpenter as the twowefc wend-
ing their way homeward after having
finished their studies for the day.
"And I expect to do the same very
83onM said Charles with evident pleas-
ure at the idea.
"What business or profession do you
intend learning ?" asked Edward.
'1 have determined to go into a store.
I want to be a merchant lint what have
you chocu Edward1.' Not one of the
learned professions t hope .' Hut I sup-
pose you have. You will be a lawyer I
have not the least doubi."
"Ye Charles I have determined to go
into Air. Uui ker'a otttee and tend law."
"Well I'm .sorry lo hear it Edward."
"Why are you sorry Charles?"
"Because you've got 11 hard dull way
liofure you and your filial niceess U un-
certain. Few M ward I have heard my
old uncle say can gain eminence in legal
pur-nii; and without distinction it is
but a poor liu-mie.-?. The field for mer-
chandizing U broader and prouiiM'b to
iiidii&iry and carefulness muTc ceriaiu
return-."
"That may be true Charles; and mer-
ohamlb.tug is as honorable and useful a
cabin.; as any oilier; hut I have been
tnuht by my father lo believe that our
Micees and uefu!nej-s in any buine-s
will depend very much upon the motive?
with which we enter into it and our hap-!iues-siu
that business much more. If we
have only a regard to our.-elve-? if the
only motive we have for choosing 11 pro-
fession be the seluSh one of gelling wealth
or honor then we may indeed be suc-
cessful but cannot be happy in our suc-
cess. But if. in choosing ainou'j those 10
which our inclinations lead us wo choose
that in which we think we can at the
same time that we benefit ourselves ren-
der most important services toothers then
we are in the road 10 honorable biieee.-
united to calm contentment."
"Then would advise you to be a
minister' said Chr-rles half ironically
"you can certainly tlo more good as a
iniuiMer than a.- a lawyer."
"I do not think so" Edward replied.
"There are callings many and various that
are all u?eful as my father has frequently
impressed upon my nt'md while talking
16 ino about choosing a profession; and
there are as great varieties of capacities
for filling these. The man whose pecu-
liarity of mind fits him to be a lawyer
would not in all probability make a good
minister; nor would the individual who
lias a preference for medical science make
h good merchant; and so through all the
varied callings in life. Each of them is
useful and honorable as I have before
said if they are made useful and honor-
able." " Veil maybe you are right" said
Charles "but I am no philosopher and
cannot pretend to look so deeply into mat-
ters and thing. My old uncle whose
opinions I am bound to respect because
he is kind to me and has been quite suc-
cessful in the world says that he would
rather see me nsailoror a soldier llian a doc-
nor; lawyer or preacher. lie don't seem to
ihavo much opinion you see of the learn
d professions ; and I am pretty much like
thim in that respect. But he thinks I am
itho very one for trade 111 which he says
I will be sure to be successful if 1 am
only prudent at fir-M. He prophesies that
I will be rich ; and all I can say is that I
jiopc lie is a true prophet."
' ''Father says to me" Edward remarked
to this "that it would be wrong in me to
set riches before mo as an end. That if
f do so I will look lo riches as the one
thing in life desirable that I will be
restless until I have gained my end and
ineu discover that wealth lias no power
iornake me happy. But that if I will
endeavor to give the idea of riches its
true subordinate place and make useful-
ness to others as far as I can the end
which lhave in view then I will be hap-
py as well os successful just so far as I
can elevate usefulness as an end above
riches."
-' "You have a strange way of talking
sometimes" said Charles "but 1 don't
pretend to see things with your eye ami
I'am sure I don't wish to. I am going to
. learirmy business with the same motives
tliafoihers do that I may get the ability
tb!make money. Money you know is
powrr. Our icachff taj't knowledge
and so does the proverb; but my old
uncle says money and X believe him "
The two boys parted. In due time
each left school and Charles Carpenter
went into a wholesale stoic to lenru the
business of merchandizing while Edward
Mayo tittered the office of Mr. Barker to
read law. Charles found it much easier
to keep Ins end of life in view than did
Edward. But whenever the laitcr'a per-
ceptions of right were obscuted or his
ardor in hisstudies diminished he went
to the one competent and judicious friend
his father whoalways helped him to clear
and satisfactory views of his duty. It
must not be supposed thai the desire to be
useful was the only one that influenced
Edward in persevering in his studies.
That would have been too feeble a prin-
ciple in his mind to have carried him
through successfully. The desire for
wealth and fume also contributed its
share of incitement to perseverance.
Still the great good was that lie could
acknowledge the end of use to be a higher
and better one than the end of riches or
honor and also that he could remain in
the desire to have that end the principal
one. He was thus preparing the way to
have it in afterlife gradually even if it
were very slowly elevated above all th'6
others.
A few years passed awny and the two
youths became of age and each entered
upon the responsible duties of life.
Charles had his mind well stored with
mercantile knowledge and the principles
of trade ; and Edward's was as well fur
nishetl for action in his peculiar calling.
Years passed on and the name of one
was a familiar sound on 'Change and that
of the other as familiar to the public as an
eminent lawyer. But each had been gov-
erned.in action by the end at fust proposed
as the true one. Charles Carpenter had
growu more and more selfish and unregard-
ful of others as wealth accumulated on
his hands ; and had likewise grown
morose irritable and discontented.
Edward Mayo on the contrary as his
power a ml sphere of usefulness enlarged
endeavored lo bring into quicker activity
the desire to be of service to others with
which he had as a matter of principle set
out in life ; and a real delight ever ilowed
from bringing ibis desire into action.
While the one was known as a wealthy
bin narrow-minded selfish man the other
was esteemed as a lovei of mankind with
the power as well as the will to benefit
society. Let us look in upon each sue-coi-sively
ut the age of fifty and then
decide which sei before him the best end
in life.
"We will introduce Mr. Carpenter at
hisowu house on a Mormy evening in
December. Tea ready and his wife
mid oify daughter a young lady of twenty
with him-elf have diawn up to the table.
The meal i nearly half through and yet
not a won! has hem spoken. He is all
abuihed in fome business matter that
perplexes him ami the idea of a trifling
los has somed his mind and added to his
habitual petulance.
"It'sa dreadful night out" Alice the
daughter says; the oppieive and moody
silence becoming so irksome lhat she
prefers to hear the sound of her own
voice even at the risk of its being un-
welcome to others.
The father responds to this by a look
which says almost as plain as words
"What's the matter with you ha?"
And the mother mutters out a reluctant
"Yes."
A few minutes more elapse with only
the clatter of cups and saucers when
Alice again breaks in upon the funerul
MleucQ with
"I wish you would take us to the thea-
tre on Thuisday evening to see Celeste
pa."
"Indeed I shall not then" ts the crusty
response. "Get your brother to go with
you."
"But he w.ou't go. I've asked him
already."
"Then you'll have to stay home for I'm
not going."
"I wish you were like Kao Mayo's
father" Alice rejoins "lie always goes
with her to the coucerts and every place1
"Well I'm not like him Miss and
don't want to be ! He's one of your phi-
lanthropists hum ! pretending lo do a
j;reai deal for other people and not doing
anything worth talking about after all'
"I believe he's an excellent man pa.
Everybody likes him and everybody
spcukH well of him; and I'm sure Kate's
oneofthehnppiestcreaturesin the world."
"And you arcono of the most misera-
ble I suppose?"
"I don't pretend to be very happy1
Alice answers moodily and then follows
the same cheerless silence.
After the tea-things were removed the
father sat down to his newspaper and
between reading these and meditating on
plans for adding to his largo stores of on-
enjoyed wealth spent the remainder of
the evening. Not the slightest inter-
course did he pretend to hold with his
family. The eocial delights of the
domestic circle had no charms for him.
Here as in the busy world ho was the
selfish centre from which went out no ra-
diations. Atico tried to get interested in
the pages of a new novel but in vain.
Her hfcart yearned for living companion-
ship. Aud os she thought of Kate Mayo
and the bright happy fireside circlo of
which she made one she closed the book
with a sigh aud retired to her chamber
hoping to find relief and quiet in the
sweet oblivion of bleep
On the same evening a very different
fceue was-presented in tin family of Mr.
Mayo who like the merchant hid one
sou nod daughter now vergiug upon ma-
luriiy. The sapper hour had passed In
cheerful conversation and after the fami
ly returned to tiie parlor Mr. Muyo said
smiting
"I 'must ask leave of absence for an
hour my children. I suppose my request
will be granted ?"
I don't know pa" Kate responded
laughing in happy girlish tones as she
hung upon his arin and looked' ufiectiou-
aiely into hU face. "It" will depend very
much upon the nature of your excuse."
"That wilt ha fa to bo given then
before my request caube granted V
"O of course ! Let us havu the reason"
Kate said.
"Well you know that the winter has
set in very severely ?"
'jlndeed it has pa' Knto replied her
face at once growing serious. "Aud I
do pity poor destitute people this dread-
ful night."
"A few gentlemen" continued Mr.
Mayo "had n meeting to-day for tho
purpose of putting in operation some
measure of provision for the poor aud
sick during the inclement seasou. It is
well known that every winter great suf-
fering is experienced by many who do nil
they can to help themselves and who
would rathorUve poorly and bear many
hardships than become nn entire burden
upon the community; who would suffer
almost everything rather than become
acknowledged paupers. A little assis-
tance to such in winter would enable
them to bear up iu their praiseworthy
spirit of independence without the ex-
treme suffering that many now endure.
I have been chosen to draft an address to
the public and I want an hour to-night
for the purpose. Am I now excused?"
added the father smiling.
"We were worse lhan heathens to say
no" Kate replied. "But how much time
you do give to measures of public benev-
olence pa!"
"Not more than I can readily spare
from my family and professional engage-
ments Kate ; aud I am sure that the
pleasure I experience from these acts is
to me a source of pure delight."
"I do not doubt it pa ami 1 love my
father belter when I think how iood and
kind he is to every one. Alice Carpenter
said to me yesterday 'O Kate if my
father was like yours how happy I should
Mr. Mayo kised afiectionatcly the
cheek of his daughter aud then left the
room to perform the work of benevolence
he hnd assigned himself.
"Poor Alice!" remarked Mrs. Mayo as
her hubaud- closed the door-after him.
"She ulways seems so glad to get here
and fo reluctant to go away."
"lain sure I never like to go there"
said Kate. "There is an atmo-phere of
constraint and selfishness about the houtc;
aud as to spending an evening with Alice
when her father is at home I would
a lief be at u funeral. He sits moodily
reading a newspapers and we must steal
away into a corner and talk in whi-pers.
If Alice happens 10 laugh a little loud
her father will rattle his newspaper and
look up so cross at her. I would not live
in that way for the world !"
"I don't wonder that John has no incli-
nation to stay at home in the evening"
remarked Edward Kate's brother. "He
told me last week that lie wasn't home
at night once in a month"
"Why where does he go?" asked
Kate.
"Indeed that's more than 1 can tell"
Edward replied. "But I fear from his
appearance and manners lhat his com-
pany is not the best."
"Poor fellow !" ejaculated Mrs. Mayo.
"Almost driven from home and then left
to himself he will I fear 20 to ruin."
"You may well say driven ma" re-
marked Kate. "For no young man who
had the liberty to go could remain in
Mr. Carpenter's presence if he is always
as silent and cross as he has been when I
have visited there"
"He is in every way unlike our own
fallier" said 'Edward. "One seems to
think about aud care about nothing but
himself. Tho other's consideration is
apparently all for others1
"Thut is the true secret of their great
difference of disposition. The selfish man
repulses all while the benevolent man
attracts all. Which would you rather be
my sou V
"The benevolent man u thousand aud
a thousand times" Edward replied fer-
vently. "Then like your father Edward choose
now your ends of life. Itesolve that .you
will seek to be useful to others; thatyou
will put away from yourself every merely
selfish motive as un evil thing Ihavo
heard him often relate how Air. Carpen-
ter and lie were boys at school aud how
they conversed about and settled their
ends of life. Mr. Carpenter lie snid
openly avowed thatf iu entering upon the
task of learning a businets he had no
other motive aud wished no other but
the usire to bo wealthy that he might
be happy in the possession of wealth ;
while your father guided by the excellent
counfelof your grandfather long since
passed away chose a profession such as
suited his taste and talents fixing in his
mind as far as possible the desire to be
useful. This desire feeble he said at'
first lie nourished and fostered until it
gradually gained streugili and iu tho
end became with him n ruling motive
Now he is not only happy himself but
makes every one vf hh whom lie nisocia.
tes cheerful and happy."
"I nm snre you will 1r jr to V like fath-

brother atTectionatcly in the face.

Botlon Transcript.
Private Idler from Mr. Webster.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
publishes the following letter from Mr.
Webster to the oersecr on his land iu
New Hampshire which is copied from
the proof sheets of "The 'Private Lifo of
Daniel Webster;" by Mr. Charles Lan-
man now in the press by Messrs. Harper
& Brothers;
Washington March 17 1852.
John Taylor : Go ahead. The heart
of the winter is broken and before the
first day of April all your Innd may be
ploughed. Buy the oxen of Capf. Mars-
ton if you think the price fair. Pay for
the hay. I send you a check for'SlGO
for these two objects. Put thugrentoxen
iu a condition to be turned out aud fit-
tcued. You have a goud horse leans; find
I ihiuk iu addition to this four oxen and
a pair of four-yenr old steers will do vour
work. If you think bb tjieu dit-pose of
tho Stevrus oxen or tluyoko th('iu and
send them to the pasture for beef. 1
know uot when 1 idmll see you but I hope
before piautiug. If you need miy;hiug
inch as guano for instance write to
Joseph Breek Eq. Boston and lie will
send u to you. .
Whatever ground you sow or plant
see lhat it U iu good condition We
want no pennyroyal crops "A little
farm well tilled"4is to a farmer the next
best thing to "u little wife well willed."
Cultivate your gerden. Be sure to pro-
duce sufficient quantities of useful vegeta-
bles. A man may half suppott his family
fiom a good garden. Take rnic lo keep
my mother's garden in good order even
if it cost you the wages of a man to take
care of it. 1 have sent you mnnj garden
seeds. Distribute them among your
neignbers. Scud them 10 the stores iu
the village that everybody may have a
part of them without cost.
I am gtad that you have chosen Mr.
Pike representative. He is a trucmau;
but there are in New Hampshire many
persons who call themselves Whigs who
are no Whigs at all aud no heller than
disunionists. Any man who hesitates iu
granting and securing to every part of the
country its just and its constitutional
rights is nit enemy to the whole country.
John Taylor ! if one of your boys should
say that ho honors his father ami mother
and loves his brothers 'nmi sisters but
stilt insists tlmt one of them shall be driven
out of the family what can you say of
him but this that there is no real family
love in him? You and I are farmers; wc
never talk politics; our talk is of oxen:
but remember this lhat nny man who
attempts 10 excite one part of the country
against another is just as wicked as he
would be who should attempt to get up a
quarrel between John Taylor aud his
neighbor old Mr. John Sanborn or his
other neighbor Captain Burleigh. There
are soino animals that live best iu the
fire and there ore some men who delight
iu heat smoke combustion and even
general conflagration They do not fol-
low tho things which make for peace.
They enjoy only controversy contention
and btrifo Have no communion with
such persons either as neighbors or poli-
ticians. You have no more right to say
that slavery ought not to exist iu Virginia
than a Virginian has to say that slavery
ought to exist iu New Hampshire. This
is a question left to every State to deeido
for itself; aud if we mean to keep the
States together wc must leave to every
State this power of deciding for itself.
I think I never wrote you a word before
upon poliiiics. I slmlt not do it again.
I only say love your couutry and when
men attempt to persuade you to get
into a quarrel with the laws of other
States tell them "that you mean to
mind your own business" aud advise
them to mind theirs. John Taylor you
are a free man; you possess good princi-
ples; you have a largo family loreurand
provide for by your labor. Be thankful to
the government which does not oppress y0u
which doesnot bear you down by excessive
taxation but which holds out to you and to
yours the hope of all the blesiiugs which
liberty industry and security may gjye
John Taylor thank God morning and
evening' that yon were born Iu uch o
country John Taylor never write m
another word upon politics. Give my
Kindest remembrance to your wife and
children; and when you look from your
eastern windows upon the graves of my
family remember that fie who is the
author of this letter must soon follow
them' to'another world.
DANIEL WEBSTER.
Punch la Mr. Ipgersoll.
Punch iu a recent number lias the
following hit nt tho late and tho new
American Ambassador In Loudon;
A trusty correspondent nt Washington
has scut us nu exclusive copy of the in-
structions of tho American Cabinet to
Mr. In'irersoll who comqs'oyer to super-
sede Mr. Abbott Lawrence iu his duty
of Ambassador of the United States at
St. James. It will bo seen that they re-
Into more to the personal conduct of the
Minister than to any line of policy be-
tween iho two countries. They are as
follows:
" 1. You arc on all occasions to remem-
ber that you represent tho simplicity of
the republican principle. You wilt there
fore ns seldom as may1 be consider your-
self the Duke of Washington the Mar-
quis'of Niagara or the Earl of Misslssipl.
Because it Is your duty to pay respect-to
a crowned head yon arc not therefore to
for net that the American Presldentwcars
nothing but a hat (night-caps going for
nothing.)
"2. You will bo courteous and accessi-
ble on all occasions to your fellow-citizens
of the Union ; never permitting the
atmosphere of a monarchy aud more
especially tho intoxicating aud deleterious
atmosphere of Almucks of Stouahetigc
House Normanbiood Palaue and such
high places to make you forgetful of the
equality of all the children of Jonathan
(niggers being cattle.)
"3. You will in (ho fulfillment of your
official dutieslmvo to swallow many pub-
lie dinners whereat you will bo called
upon to speak. Alwuys hold out the
right of fellowship hut keep your back
straight. When invited to the high festi-
vals of' the TittlebatmougcrV Comjiany
you may or rather must ue a little soft
sawder about the ImsiueM so amicably
settled (with a hook uud a line)
"You will have to propose toasts.
Therefore do not give the immortal mem-
ory of King John because you may see
at the board a Jew sheriff whose ancestor
hnd his teeth pulled out by tho orders of
ins anointed majesty; the king drawing
on the Jdw'3'jaw'infent1 o'f hhrliaiilc;
Finally you will uot spit upon the memo-
ry (by the way you must not spit in com-
pany anywhere in England.) of Wat Ty-
ler as a rebel to his lawful king seeing
who once riz against good King George
the father of his people (Jonathan giving
his old father sti'-di a tarnation licking.)
Mr. Clapp's SoHlop'ny.
Another girl! whnt can Mrs CInpp
be thinking of! its perfectly ridiculous!
There's four of them now ;nnd that's four
more than is ueccstary. I dout beleive in
girls; lovers and luces ringlets and ro-
mances jewelry aud jumpropes silks and
satins! What's to be done? There's a
whole chest full of my old coats I've biou
saving to make my' boys jacket. I
wish Mrs. 'CInpp would think as I do.
Another girl who's to keep the name
in the family I'd like 10 know ? I shall
be extinct! And now the wants me lo
put up a note iu the chinch for "blessings
received !"
Well I suppotc my girls wil turn to
boys one. of these days. (It's hard to be
facetious when a man's to he crossed and
thwarted iu this way once a year.) Mrs.
Clapp has a very obstinate tsreak in her
disposition in this respect. It's waste
powder to reason with her; it seems to go
into one ear aud out the other. If she
gets going on one particular track you
may just fold your arms and let her fake
her time to gel off it. She knows I prefer
boys (that woman docs) just ns weir as
she knows her name is Hetty. Well
there's limit to human patience. I shall
tell her very decidedly as soon as Iter
gruel-probaiion is over that u itop must
be put to this. Its no use for n man to
pretend to bo master in his own house
when lie isn't Fanny Fl'UK
Education or Boys. We know not
who is the author of the following nra-
graph but it contains sound seu'lments
which ought to bo treasured up by every
parent and guardian In the land :
"Every boy should have his head his
heart and his hand educated. Let this
truth never be forgotten Uy tho proper
education of the head he Will be taught
what is good and what is evil what
is wise and what- is foolish what is'
right and what is wrong. By the
proper education of tho heart ho will
bo taught lo love what is good wise and
right aud 10 hate what js evil foolUlfaud
wrong. And by proper education of the
hand he will be enabled to supply his
wants to add to his comforts and to
assist those around him. Tlio highest
object of a good education are to rover
a nee God and to lova and serve man-
kind. Everything that help us in attain-

"New Cotton Tress.
"J. H. Armstrong of Whitcpoud Barn-
well Dlst. S C has taken measures to
secure n patent for nn improved cotton
pros. This machine which 'isa screw
press is designed to be worked by fduln
or other power. A stout rod having a
screw qut 114 it s Mtnched by one cud to
the followedwhilst tho other being the
screwed part works In a nut llrmly
attached to n bevel wheel winch latter
gears Into a pinion. Belts and putfoys
oro employed to transmit the power
though geared wheels &c may be used.
Tho inventor has obviated tho uccesjty
of reversing the motion of the driving
belt when tho motion bfiho follower is to
bo changed from upward to downward
bv USillir two belt: one crossed nnd tho
'i ----- .... ...
other straight for transmitting thu motion
Irom the driving shaft to the pinion. By
using alternately one or the other of these
belts nu upward or downward motion of
the screw and follower is obtained. Thu
diameter of the pulleys are t'egu luted so
us to givo a slow powerful motion when
the follower is forced down upon the cot
ton but a rapid speed is imparled when
tho follower is to be raised. Scientific

Fir.MNoTi;ETHovER Exposed Nctivts.
Dr. S. P.HuUiheu of Wheeling Yahas
discovered a method whereby luVcavilies
of teeth over expobed nerves may be sue.
cessfully" plugged up. It is this; Tlic
diseased pans of the tooth arc removed
to make it apparent that thu nerve U
exposed. The fang js then perforated
through the gum into thd nerve .cavity
The opening should bo of about the sue
of n small kuhtjug needle; lw o'hj'ct U lo
open tlio blood vessels of the nerve which
will at once be known by tho Mow of
arterial blood. Thu cavity of the tooth
may then be filled without the leas fear
of palu or ill couteoueuees. This plan
has been successfully prnciUed in a great
